Yummy! Definitely Recommend! - Edit
Delicious food: I travel for work and always try to hit at least one vegan restaurant. Becuase my hotel did not have a complimentary breakfast, I stoppe by LOTV for breakfast. They had several options, but I went with the scramble wrap. Delicious! It was so loaded with goodness that I had to eat it with a fork for a bit until I could handle it. These folks have their tempeh bacon game down. The Tempeh bacon was awesome. The LOV sauce is also perfect! Just an overall yummy wrap and filling for a great breakfast!
Read moreReasonable pricing. I only had the wrap and a cup 'o joe, but the price was very reasonable compared to other vegan restaurants(and standard ones). I paid $13.75 for the wrap, which might seem a bit steep, but the quality of the components and the portion size made it worth every penny.
Friendly service! The people working were very friendly and answered any questions about the food. The suggestions were informative. I had initially forgotten to get a printed receipt for work, and the clerk was very helpful in printing one out after the fact.
Pros: Food was top notch!, Atmosphere was really cool!, Free stickers!!!!

A gem!!!! - Edit
 I love this place. The menu is so varied. It is an amazing place to get a super hearty delicious sandwich.  They’ve got seitan, Tempeh, tofu, bean-based items, super fresh veggies, fresh breads, so awesome. The potato salad phenomenal. I live out of town so I can’t make it here as often as I’d like, but whenever I am in the area, I always stop in. don’t miss!

Keeps getting better! - Edit
I’ve been a loyal customer of Living on the Veg for over ten years, and I can confidently say they are better now than ever! Extra rewarding being able to support local small family businesses.
Read moreRecently, they expanded their offerings to include vegan soft serve ice cream—such a treat and have Today, I tried their special, the Crabby Patrick, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot-on, especially if you’re a fan of dill. The dish was made with fresh, whole food ingredients, and you can taste the care and commitment that went into it.
I really appreciate their passion for providing amazing, fresh vegan food to our community. They continue to set the bar high with their creativity and dedication. Highly recommend checking them out if you haven’t already!

Great stop on the way to the beach! - Edit
We were on our way from JFK to Ocean City and saw this gem just off our route. We had the nachos Ramos and the Ensenada bowl. So good!! My daughter also had a vanilla soft serve which was delish. We would definitely come back. I wish I could take more stuff to go but it won’t keep until I get home to Philly area much later today. Do yourself a favor and try it!

Mediocre - Edit

Excellent menu! Fresh ingredients - Edit
First time here, came for lunch. I got the Olde City sandwich which is similar to a philly cheesesteak on a ciabatta roll. It was absolutely delicious and the bread was awesome. Got the coleslaw as a side and it was very fresh and tasted great! My husband got the tofu deluxe sandwich and loved it. He also got potato salad as a side and it was very good. Will definitely return!

A Must Stop! - Edit
A must visit spot in LBI! The staff, the food, the community board, the whole vibe is *chef’s kiss* brilliant. Can’t wait to come back. If you have Littles/toddlers, there’s only high tops and stools - no backs - inside. They do offer high chairs!

Great quality! - Edit
Big menu to to choose from! It’s so nice to see a fully vegan restaurant in this town, and not just that, but a quality one. Ingredients are fresh and food was seasoned well and gently cooked. Can’t wait to go back!

Strong Sandwich Selections - Edit
This was our first time at the Manahawkin location, although we had enjoyed a past visit to the old LBI spot. The new location has more seating, which is a definite benefit. My husband and I split the Olde City Sandwich and the Chuckwich. Both were delicious, but the Olde City was our favorite. The kids loved the açaí bowls. We finished with brownies and crumb cake for dessert. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more menu items in the future.

Better Than Expected - Edit
I had low expectations due to the pictures on the website, but I was pleasantly surprised. I got the BBQ seitan wrap (subbed for a spinach tortilla and took out the tomatoes). You get a side salad in a condiment container and I got the carrot raisin one. It was sweet and smoky and both were very good. The staff was nice too and it was affordable.

Tasty sandwiches and wraps!! - Edit
Tried some breakfast and lunch options here everything was super delicious! I loved the potato salad side dish option, the “knuckle sandwich” breakfast sandwich, and the blueberry loaf. Cute place to sit and have a bite or get take out. So nice to have a vegan option if you are near the beach! Very kind and patient staff

Not worth the hype - Edit
I’ve tried this establishment a handful of times and am always disappointed. The blt avocado melt was so disgusting. The cheese sauce used had such a weird flavor.
Read moreMy friend’s most recent meal had a fuzzy hair in the fruit salad. I believe it was canned peaches…
The “panini” bread for my sandwich was more of a breaded roll. Did not match the description.
Tipped for service but didn’t receive table service. Would not return.
Pros: The juice was fresh and tasty , Friendly staff
Cons: Expensive

At long last, another location, and it serves dinner! - Edit
This is the long awaited second location for Rob and Lauren’s Living on the Veg Vegan Deli & Juice Bar. It features the same lunch and breakfast menu with over 2 dozen delicious choices as the highly successful Beach Haven Gardens location on LBI. The best made sandwiches, wraps, bowls and salads you will find in New Jersey. They also serve some great smoothies and fresh pressed juices.
Read moreBut, the big news is that this location serves DINNER! The menu is excellent and worthy of the finest foodie clientele. Dishes like Sweet Potato Gnocchi, Grilled Lavash (Moroccan spiced cauliflower), Seitan enchiladas and “crab” cakes featuring hearts I’d palm, dill-caper remoulade and fennel-orange salad will leave you happy, satisfied and healthy.
