Nice spot to have lunch! Probably one of the best in philly

100% vegan with different options for a quick lunch or a snack. I tried the falafeln salad and it was delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed and staff is friendly. Probably one of the best vegan spot in philadelphia.

Pros: 100% vegan, Nice atmosphere , Friendly staff

Great 100% vegan spot!!

This is a small cafe with many unique items. I really wish I had the time to go back and try all of the cool sounding drinks. Plenty of seating albeit a bit cramped, and there’s a restroom. There’s a big jug of water at the front so you can pour yourself some.

I had the Dragon Mango smoothie which was delicious, and the jackfruit wrap which was nice as well.

I really enjoyed the chill vibes - they were playing songs by one of my favorite bands😄

Excellent food, decent prices

We stopped here for lunch. After browsing their menu I went with the B.L.A.T & my friend with a Carrot Falafel sandwich on Multigrain bread.

When our orders arrived we decided to exchange halves. The B.L.A.T was a great sandwich at an affordable price. But the Carrot Falafel was AMAZING. Totally recommend the Falafel. We also had a Chickpea Brownie which tasted like a brownie. No more, no less.

Great lunch spot.

We love the plant aesthetic of this cafe, it’s so cozy and refreshing 😊

Ordered a smoothie bowl and it was delicious! If I lived in Philly I would have this for breakfast all the time!

My friend ordered a smoothie and loved it too

Pros: Chill atmosphere , Friendly staff , Amazing food

Love this place

My Philly friend is a regular here and it’s easy to see why! I loved my smoothie and “falafel” salad (while those mushy balls were tasty and pleasing, I wouldn’t call them falafel), and then went back to the counter for an herbal tea and two desserts- a little ball of cardamom ginger delight and a cashew rose bar or something which was SCRUMPTIOUS. If I lived here, I would be in there all the frickin time.

Pros: Vibe, Great food, Lovely staff

Good food, longish wait

The food was very good and the kitchen was accommodating to dietary needs/requests. I also appreciate how they offer gluten free quinoa-based bread!

Pros: Atmosphere , Gluten free options

Cons: Long wait time , On the expensive side

High vibes!

Everything we tried was amazing. The halfsies kava special was so delicious and relaxing and uplifting, and the guava kava drink was delicious as well. We had the soup special, the falafel salad, and a smoodie bowl and we loved everything. We felt great afterwards and can’t wait to go back next visit to Philly.

How have i waited so long to come here? SO good

What a delightful restaurant with cozy seating and absolutely delicious food. We got the green smoothie bowl, bacon egg & cheese sandwich and the avo toast. All were delicious but if I only got one, it would be the avo toast! Might be my new favorite.

New place in my rotation

Great cosy South Street Philly cafe vibe, tin ceilings and window seats, plants and tarot cards laying about and all that. Staff and owners are chill and friendly. Food was great with lots of variety for the size of shop, soups & salads, sandwiches and bowls. Plus all the kinds of of juices & to-go juices. All reasonably priced too. This area needed a solid all vegan option! Love it.

Pros: Allll vegan, amazing bacon, avo, egg & cheese on sesame roll!, Vibe

Cons: Not really a con, but perfect food takes time

awe thanks for this review!!! we definitely are not fast food! lollll but we are streamlining our menu all the time (to include food items that don't take so long in our tiny kitchen) and will be pivoting to focus more on the cold-pressed juice and tea and smoothie and smoothie bowl and kava and euphoric herbal-alternatives-to-alcohol concoctions this summer! see you soon!

Serves honey

Love this cute kava cafe! The food tasted good and was pretty, but was a little bland. That said it's always great to have more vegan options around. The only thing I don't like is that they claim to be 100% vegan but they serve honey in many of their drinks.

Pros: Very cute space, Kava is fun to try, Good food

Cons: Serves honey

we don't claim to be 100% vegan -- our juices are 100% organic! there may have been a typo on the website. and since this review our staff now always asks what sweetener is desired with matcha and turmeric lattes instead of assuming that honey is OK. we hope you'll come back and try again and let us know what you thought was bland because it's very likely that recipe has been edited and corrected since you came! We just opened a few months ago and everything is getting better every day😄

Thanks for the update! Just FYI the website still says "our cafe is 100% vegan"

Tasty, cute, and new

The Lightbox cafe is new to the area. They have drinks, teas, kava, bowls, breads, and more. Lots of great places to sit and enjoy the food. Kind and friendly staff. Great number of options! We enjoyed our smoodies. I look forward to trying some food next time!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Lovely decor

Cons: Expensive, Our order/smoodies took a while
