Good vegan options but spicy

I ordered the pimento cheese burger. The burger bun was hard as a rock and the pimento and patty were more spicy than the yellow curry my husband got. The cheesecake is phenomenal and saves this review. If you like spicy food go for it but I didn’t care for it personally.

Delicious!

We are so happy that we found this vegan restaurant. There were so many great choices on the menu that we had a hard time deciding on what to eat. The wait staff made great recommendations. The Nachos were A and we loved the Arugula Harvest. Salad. Service was friendly and efficient.

Yummy Vegan Burger

A nice cozy environment to enjoy vegan food. The portions were small and pricey. However, the taste was pretty good. I will revisit and try other dishes.

Just delicious

I had just landed at the airport and was starving! Living Kitchen was the perfect spot. I had a chai latte (so aromatic and spicy since they don’t sweeten it too much —or at all?) and the epic grilled cheese sandwich with broccoli Waldorf. I finished every crumb! The atmosphere is calm and fresh and the entire menu looks amazing. I can’t wait to go back for more!

Pros: Whole food menu, Lots of options, Coffee bar

So yummy!

Super cute brunch spot in South End. The Epic Grilled Cheese with Tomato Basil Soup was absolutely incredible. The only down side is the portions are pretty small but was fantastic.

Great lunch stop

We were pleasantly surprised to find this place on our way out of town. Delicious wholesome food and drinks. Service was a little slow, but we probably only noticed because we were in a hurry!

Pros: Healthy vegan food

Cons: Service on the slow side

Really great food and vibe

We sampled each burger and they were all really good. Everything felt very healthy as well. Slightly disappointed that the "fire burger" had very little spice but everything was delicious.

They also have desserts, apps, smoothies and coffee!

Awesome

We were very impressed! My partner got the masala and I got the spicy black bean bowl and nachos to share. Everything was incredible! The staff was great! We are in town for a few days and might eat there again.

Beautiful and delicious!

Perfect urban casual atmosphere. Felt like a smaller more local true food but vegan. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food was amazing. We’ll definitely be back when in Charlotte, and I’ll be wishing for a Living Kitchen in Greenville SC. (Can’t hurt to hope right?)

Love this place!

Every time I visit Charlotte, my trip is not complete without a stop here. We had the Curry Bowl, the Marsala, and Nachos...with a Chai Tea and Mango Smoothie. Perfection. Extra props for the staff, especially our server...she was super sweet and helpful at suggesting our choices, and she nailed it. Curry Bowl, is a MUST have. ♥️
