Love

I come to get lunch here pretty often. Everything I have had so far has been really good and fresh. I love the veggie sushi roll with the ginger velvet dressing and saffron aioli and the young coconut ceviche. The botanical salad also had good flavor.

Fast, Fresh & Fabulous

100% plant based, vegan food. Very fast with more of a lunchy grab and go vibe but it was busy and loads of people eating in. It’s a counter service setup but don’t let that out you off. Staff are friendly, helpful and energized!
I ordered:
Beer Caviar
Chilli Sin Carne
Summer Roll
Brownie
Dark & Stormy Latte
Everything was very fresh and tasty with lots of detail. I love the light and airy decor reminiscent of an apothecary if sorts and also the staff wearing bandannas and lab coat looking uniforms. I’ll be back and can 100% recommend!

The future, now

Vegalicious and satisfying bowls. Beautiful interior and geared for people on the go. Excellent, patient staff and super fast payment kiosk. I found myself back here 4 times in a week. If, like me, you vibe immediately with a place, signing up for their loyalty program on the first visit might be a good idea. If there was any regret, it's that I waited until my (inevitable) second visit!

Updated from previous review on 2019-11-13

Pros: All vegan and gluten free, Loyalty Program pays back quickly!

Cons: Premium take-out pricing.

Fantastic food for those in a hurry

The food at Le Botaniste is great: everything is delicious, healthy, fresh, in clean pleasant surroundings. You order at a counter and takeout your food or eat at various stools or functional seats and tables. This is by far the best food in the immediate area, and is ideal for the lunchtime business crowds. If you want a relaxing meal with friends, you would be better off at the uptown Lexington branch of Le Botaniste--though if you are in the area (down the block from Grand Central Terminal) and in a rush, this location is ideal. Do note that the food here is not at all cheap--but great food rarely is.

Pros: Great tasting food, Very healthy, Quick friendly service

Cons: Not cheap--not for those on a budget, Decor is suited for those seeking to eat and leave

Fabulous

Imaginative, creative, great food - not the standard “salad in a plastic bowl”. Different and a definite destination. Highly and enthusiastically recommended.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Creative and different, Fab environment

Cons: No ApplePay - I’m sure they will get modern soon
