Awesome food - Edit
I had the “My Cousin Vinny” Italian sub along with the turkey club sandwich and I was amazed at how close it tastes like the classics.

Damn Good - Edit
I’ve only been at LAL once, but it was such a delicious meal! I ordered the grilled cheese & tomato soup and it felt so nice to not feel sick or bloated after eating something that tasted so much like the real thing! The staff was incredibly friendly, the joint was clean, and it was a nice atmosphere. I definitely plan on visiting again 🖤

Vegan hoagies worthy of Rocky - Edit
Oh my veegoodness! I first heard of Love Again Local through one of my favorite animal sanctuaries, Odd Man Inn, as they drove cross COUNTRY to have Penn veterinarians look at their troubled pig. Located in the same town as my brother, I HAD to visit them both! I pride myself on being able to finish my dessert but I couldn't finish the Chunkwich. At least not in one sitting. It's HUGE and tasty. The best surprise was a hint of cinnamon with each bite. I had the My Cousin Vinny as my main course. Vinny rivaled any meatbased Italian hoagie this Philly girl has eaten in years gone by. I couldn't believe it was vegan! I bet LAL can duplicate a vegan Philly cheesesteak. I look forward to trying other items from their menu.

Good overall - Edit
The Italiano sandwich was good. My toddler got a grilled cheese kids meal. It comes with a lot of cheese but il not really grilled its just lightly melted. Comes with a cookie and juice box. There was a couple tables outside due to the indoor seating being closed bc of covid19

Worth traveling 2 hours every time - Edit
I found this place by accident while driving down to Philly from Scranton. I have since intentionally visited many times because it was THAT good. One thing I missed when having went vegan was a really solid sandwich/hoagie that felt like it wasn’t just thrown together, and this place delivers. My favorite aspect is that they pay attention to the quality of the bread, which can really make or break a hoagie for me. The combinations are endless, but I recommend the “everything cheese” as your go to every time.

Delicious! - Edit
My husband, daughter and I each ordered a different sandwich and they were all delicious! We shared the mac n cheese with Impossible meat crumbles which had a nice creaminess but does have a nuttiness to it which my husband wasn't fond of, but my daughter and I didn't mind. Great friendly service with a nice vibe to it. We will definitely like to return, just wished it was closer to where we live.

Great vegan selection - Edit
My husband and I were staying with friends in West Chester and I found this on Happy Cow. Our friends and their daughters aren’t vegan but are eager to try new things, which is great. We got the riven, Cuban, turkey club, and they were all amazing! Our friends commented that they couldn’t tell it wasn’t meat. Wish we lived closer!

Delicious - Edit
I go here often and am never disappointed. Easy menu, simple tasty sandwiches, soups, and dessert. They also promote eco-friendly options by using paper bags for takeout and sell metal reusable straws. Always playing hip music and a great atmosphere.

The best vegan Reuben I’ve ever had. In fact, it’s all I ever order! - Edit
A small, all vegan sandwich shop? What’s not to love. The exception with LAL is you feel the pride in the food when you come in. Everyone who works there is warm and invariably passionate about vegan food and the seemingly limitless possibilities of what can be achieved with plant based ingredients! A vegan Reuben? Coming from someone who has loved Reubens for many years as an omni, there’s some skepticism as the flavors have to be just right and of course the texture of bread, filling, etc. I’ve eaten maybe 15 Reubens from LAL and everyone has been awesome!

Wow!!! Just Wow!!! - Edit
This place is on my Mt Rushmore of Vegan spots. I had the Cousin Vinny Italian Hoagie and took home the Rueben. Delicious!!!! Ok, I also ate the special of the day which was a tasty sloppy Joe. Of course I finished my meal with some cookies. Awesome! Apparently you can get a cookie cake for your team or birthday if you order in advance. My birthday in May can’t come soon enough. Super friendly staff and super hip spot in a great part of town. This is a great place to take your non vegan friends.

I had the Reuben, my wife had the Cubano, and we both were blown away by the freshness and the flavors. Service is friendly, prices were fair and the restaurant was open and airy.

AMAZING - Edit
Fantastic selection of vegan "meats" and "cheeses" as well as condiments. Honestly never had a better value vegan sandwich than the build your own option. I only spoke with one employee but i had a wonderful conversation about our similar interests in plant based nutrition. I had an amazing experience and will be returning ASAP!

Great little place in West Chester - Edit
Ate here for the first time today and will definitely be back! Had the meatball sandwich with mozzarella cheese which was their special for the day. Topped it off with a chocolate chunk cookie and blueberry soda. Looking forward to returning and trying the Reuben, and keeping up to date on specials. Happy this place opened and would definitely recommend.

Pull waaaaay back on the saltiness and I'm sure to return! Call me crazy, but I think when you finish a vegan meal you should feel good.

Love Again Local is definitely my favorite vegan place to go near me! The staff is amazing, the food is outstanding, and it's nice to not have to worry about asking for vegan options since everything on the menu is plant based! They also just added a points system so the more you go, you get points and save!
