Yummy BBQ Pork Sub - Edit
They had some great options, I went for the bbq sub made of seitan (that’s their mock meat of choice) - it was delicious. I should’ve also had some of their cakes for dessert, it looked very tempting.

Perfect - Edit
Really cool location, love an indoor market. This place crushes it with grab and go options, at-home ingredients and a whole deli menu. Sandwich I tried rocked! They have e-commerce as well so you can try certain things at home 😊

Hoagie ❤️ - Edit
The Italian hoagie is so satisfying, the reuben is delicious and very filling. All of their vegan meats and cheeses are so good. Their burgers and soups are also really good, and their desserts! Can't go wrong really

Pretty darn good! - Edit
Had the Cheesesteak, which was awesome! They have a lot of options on the menu and in the grab and go fridges, so I will have to go back and try more of their food. Was a touch salty but otherwise awesome and the service was quick.

Luhv saved the day! - Edit
I’m at a conference right across the street where the provided vegan lunch was lettuce, taco shells, salsa, and cauliflower. (Commence sobbing) Luckily I had time to duck into Reading Terminal and get the best corned seitan sandwich ever!!!! It was so good!

Nice casual vegan option in center city - Edit
I was only in Philly less than 48 hours, but I was able to go to 2 vegan places. I was familiar with LUHV from their black bean and plantain frozen burgers at Whole Foods in Virginia. I enjoyed the "crab" cake sandwich, it was hard to choose because several things sounded good. Had to throw out the garbanzo salad, it was bland and I also don't like things permeated with cucumber flavor. The chocolate cake was good though. Would go back!

Delicious Sandwiches - Edit
Food Stand at the Reading Terminal Market with many options for vegan sandwiches. They have their home made meat alternatives, most made out of seitan. I had the Italian Sandwich with vegan Salami, Ham and Capicola, Provolone, Tomatoes and Salad, and it was delicious!
Read moreDefinitely worth to try!

Tasty cheesesteak - Edit
We tried the spicy superfood salad, energy soup, and a Philly cheesesteak (made from seitan). The spicy superfood salad was not spicy, and not very superfood-y either. I would skip this. The energy soup was also not that good IMO, not much flavor other than saltiness. The cheesesteak was really good though, and if you’re looking to try one then this is great spot for it.

Downtown vegan - Edit
For out-of-towners staying downtown, Luhv was perfect. Our meal was delicious & fast, and we got to-go deli items to take back home. Reading Market isn’t an ideal location, but we were grateful nonetheless.

Great choice for the vegan in your group - Edit
Great having this option at the market. Makes this a great place to come to when with your non-vegan friends. The menu is great large with take away groceries for sale as well, and of course their food is excellent.

Busy but great vegan menu - Edit
Big menu. We ordered the cheesesteak, garbanzo burger, and soup and it was all delicious. Highly recommend ordering online in advance for pick up. The line was very long to order in person!

Happy it’s here - Edit
I end up at LUHV a lot for convenience to the convention center and I’m so glad this place exists! However, I don’t think I would go out of my way to eat here otherwise. I find everything a bit bland. Two days of empanadas with no sauce on the side (so dry). They don’t keep condiments out like salt, pepper or hot sauce so make sure to ask for some if you want some extra flavor. Of the breakfast sandwiches I prefer the bacon to the large mound of homemade sausage.
Read morePros: Convenient , Breakfast , A few options
Cons: Bland, Occasionally surly service

I Wanna Love LUHV, BUT... - Edit
Nestled inside Reading Terminal Market, it is necessary to navigate through aisles of carnivorous atrocities by other vendors, (be prepared to cover your eyes and hold your breath) to arrive at LUHV's outpost. The venue itself is underwhelming, as is the menu, but sufficient enough to satisfy any hungry Vegan, assuming one is not strictly adhering to the healthiest options on a whole-food, SOS-free regimen ::sigh:: And so, I opted to try the "Lox (made from beets) and cream cheese (tofu) sandwich (everything bagel) which in all honesty, tasted just fine. I guess it just doesn't hit the same way as on previous visits to Philadelphia as a full-fledged Vegan foodie from 2016-2020. Now, the way a meal makes me FEEL is just as, if not more important than how it tastes. I can't wait to get back home, to my daily salads and smoothies.

I ordered the portobello mushroom sandwich and it was so good, the flavor & texture was a perfect combination… crispy grilled soft bun that gives the perfect bite to the delicious filling. The staff were very pleasant & courteous.
