Great breakfast! - Edit
Super good vegan sandwich shop in the Reading Terminal Market. I had their bacon, egg, and cheese (vegan of course) breakfast sandwich and it was delicious! The staff were friendly and overall it was a great experience. I’ll be back!

I say go for the experience . - Edit
Ordered the cheesesteak as I figured you don’t see this menu option everyday. The bun was fresh and the sandwich toppings plentiful. Also ordered the Argentinian empinada and that was just okay. Service was friendly and fast. $16 USD. Note as you make your way to the food stall you’ll pass unpleasant reminders of all the animals people eat.
Read morePros: Opens early, Fast service

Delicious vegan deli! - Edit
I recently visited Philadelphia and was excited to find an all vegan option in the Reading Terminal Market. I ended up ordering lunch two days in a row from Luhv's because it was so good. I tried the Rachel and a Reuben and both were equally incredible. The second day we were a little short on time so I ordered online and my sandwich was ready as soon as I stopped in to pick it up.

Fantastic hoagies - Edit
Over a couple days I had the Italian and BLT hoagies, both great but I liked the Italian slightly more. I also tried the breakfast sandwich which I liked less. Amazing quick food.

Good food and friendly service - Edit
What a busy marketplace LUHV Deli is in!!! Luckily they have a place there because there are very few other vegan options in there. I got the Reuben; Toasted rye topped with corned seitan, sauerkraut, 1000 island dressing, and provolone cheese. They use Follow your heart cheese. It was $10 for the sandwich, which I felt was a very good price given the Reading Terminal Market was all very pricey. I also got a Mediterranean empanada that was amazingly good!! The service was pretty quick for a busy place and the staff were friendly and patient.
Read morePros: Good food, Good prices , The only fully vegan joint in a large food market
Cons: Crowded environment, Limited seating

Disappointed - Edit
1/7/24: Hate to leave a negative review for a vegan place we hoped to luhv, but we really were disappointed. We ordered the lox bagel (smoked beets and capers). The bagel bread was horrible! So unbelievably hard. Friends were laughing at me as they watched me try to bite into it. Very disappointing. However, the inside filling with smoked beets and capers was so delicious!! They need to buy better bagels. I wonder if they were stale??
Read moreIt was also so expensive: over 11 bucks for just 1 bagel sandwich.

Pros: Delicious filling
Cons: Terrible bagel , Egregiously expensive: over $11 for 1 bagel

Yummy sandwiched and brownies - Edit
I stopped in three days in a row when I visited Philly. The Blt and the caprese were fantastic! The "tuna" was good, and it actually tasted better when I finished it the next day. And don't sleep on their soup or forget to add a brownie!

Great food, eco-forward packaging - Edit
My partner surprised me with lunch from LUHV today. Before I went vegan, I loved having smoked salmon bagels fairly regularly. It’s been so long! I was so excited to open the wrapper and find a vegan version of an old classic. The food was fresh and flavorful, and quite filling! I also had bean soup and a brownie. Thank you for a delicious lunch, and for operating plastic neutral!! 💚

Coffee Cake Champion 🏆 - Edit
Very well placed in the Reading Terminal Market. Nice and very helpful counter ladies.
Read moreI tried the Reuben 🥪and coleslaw. I’m not a fan of seitan , however the coleslaw was very tasty. I also took a sausage, egg and cheese everything bagel🥯 to go, while I enjoyed the bagel more than the Reuben it was dry , needed something more on it . The energy soup was fair🍲 . BUT the highlight was definitely
The Coffee Cake‼️ I wish I purchased two . Let’s clap 👏🏽 it up for the coffee cake champ 🏆
Pros: Only Full Vegan spot in Reading Terminal Market., Affordable , Nice counter ladies.
Cons: Bagel needed some type of sauce. Dry but decent , Not a lot of meat options others than seitan .

⭐️⭐️.5 - Edit
Bf had the bacon egg cheese bagel and it was soooo dry. Not a fan of whatever turmeric saturated egg patty they’re using. He took 2 bites and couldn’t finish it.
Read moreI had the Rueben, which was much better than the bagel but had the exact opposite problem: too much sauce.
Would be nice if they had more options that aren’t seitan-based.
The coffee cake was good but I’m not sure if they make that or just stock it.

Really thick, hot soup with lentils and chickpeas. It's INSIDE the Reading Terminal Market. Some other stalls have vegan items, but this is the only ALL vegan stall.

Missed by a Lot - Edit
My wife went yesterday and had a warm bagel with cream cheese and lox. I tasted it and liked it. I'm a bagel snob and thought the bagel was just okay, but the rest was good.
Read moreWe went today and my sandwich was not edible. The bagel was not toasted and was dripping and soaked in maybe the lox or capers juice. I couldn't eat it.
I also had a Reuben that was just okay. It needed a lot more sauerkraut and dressing and the seitan though tasty was a pretty mushy consistency.
I won't be back.

The Reuben Delight - Edit
During my visit to Philadelphia, my first stop was at Reading Terminal Market, all thanks to my craving for Luhv Vegan Deli. I ordered my favorite, the Reuben sandwich ($9.99), and added a side pickle for an extra 50 cents.
Read moreLet me tell you, it was hands down the best vegan Reuben I've ever tasted. The combination of corned beef, sauerkraut, 1000 Island dressing, and provolone on rye bread created a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. The creaminess from the cheese and dressing, the heartiness from the corned beef, and the acidic bite from the sauerkraut made every bite incredibly satisfying.
Aside from their fantastic Reuben, Luhv Vegan Deli offers a variety of other sandwiches, deli meats, cheeses, and delectable desserts like whoopie pies and coffee cakes. The experience was simple, straightforward, and utterly delicious. Also, the service was efficient and friendly. If you're in the mood for a hearty vegan meal that hits all the right notes, Luhv Vegan Deli at Reading Terminal Market is the place to go. I can't recommend it enough!

The Reuben and the Chicken Salad are a must - Edit
Loved the Reuben just for nostalgia's sake and the Chicken salad wrap was perfect. There were 5 other sandwiches we didn't try that I 'm sure would be fantastic. They are in one of the middle aisles like 45 and on the end. Just ask and someone can show you where they are.
