Excellent & All-Vegan - Edit
A wonderful little find in downtown Worcester. Tiny diner with an extensive all-vegan menu. I had the BLT on sourdough, hubby had the Chik’un sandwich, and my daughter had the French toast breakfast sandwich- all 3 were terrific. French fries were delicious too. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in Worcester again.

Not ya Mama's, much betta! - Edit
I keep eating these sandwiches before I can take a picture! Not Ya Mamas Vegan Cafe in Worcester is my new all time favorite vegan sandwich shop. Pictured here is the Juicy Marble Steak Sandwich. They hit it out of the park with the dressing and the Steak is crazy realistic!
Read moreMy friend had the chicken sandwich and she said it was better than real chicken. The steak bomb is also a g dang meat tornado and I wanna be in the eye of the storm eating that thing every day!

Amazing Vegan Food! - Edit
My husband and I drove almost 2 hours during New Englands first real snow fall let me tell you it was well worth it!!! The hubs tried the Impossible Steak and cheese and being born and raised in Philly I can attest to their autenticity!! My husband devoured it! I got the Italian sub and my was it amazing such a classic! We also sampled the crispy chicken sammy which was spot on texture wise it just needed a little more flavor and their mac and cheeze was on point so creamy and cheezy!! We also got a slice of chocolate cream pie and a Toffee pie which were also so delicious! Honestly one of the best places we've gone so far, and honey we've gone far for some vegan food which was underwhelming, so happy this was not the case with NYMVC!!!
Read morePros: Full Vegan Menu , Delicious, Great prices!
Cons: Nada!
notyamamas
Thank you so much for the kinds words and for making a trip to see us in the snow! We look forward to seeing you again.

AMAZING VEGAN FOOD CLOSE TO HOME - Edit
Finally, we have a fantastic vegan restaurant close to home. Me and my husband are constantly trying new vegan places on our travels and have had no luck with finding one. NYM has the best vegan Mac and cheese I've ever had and their "chicken" is out of this world. We got vegan monkey bread to go and it was mouth watering. Nothing short of amazing here!

Hands down the best! - Edit
Wow! What a find!!! Entire menu is vegan. I had the vegan Mac and Cheez Impossible burger, fries and a side of FRENCH TOAST! Yup… it instantly reminded me of my childhood and was vegan! And that burger was incredible. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Open breeze with seating near the open oversized window. Well done and I will be back to try everything else you offer. Wow!

They’re single handedly making an impact on Worcester’s Vegan Scene - Edit
When I tell you that the fried chicken here was better than a majority of the fried chicken I had when I wasn’t vegan, this isn’t an exaggeration. I enjoyed the first chickn sandwich I had so fast that… I literally had to buy another one so I could enjoy it more slowly and every bite was incredible. The buffalo sauce is the perfect heat, the coleslaw has fantastic texture and flavor and isn’t runny or liquidy. I just bought the Mac and cheese and when diners heard me order it, they immediately told me it was amazing because they had just finished theirs and wanted more.
Read moreThe owners are amazing, they’re engaging, and even better: they get the food out fast. I happened upon the shop during the soft open and bands were coming in, ordering food, and coming back just to tell the owner how good it was.
Not Ya Mama’s gives Worcester yet another top tier vegan spot to go along with Belmont and the super-vegan friendly Root & Press.
AND they intend to close at 7pm meaning us vegans finally have a new dinner spot!
Pros: All vegan, Quick and friendly service , Incredible taste— best vegan chickn I’ve ever had
Cons: Parking might be a problem sometimes, N/a, N/a

Amazeballs!!!! - Edit
I am fairly new to the vegetarian world. I was having the hardest time finding "fake" meat that I actually enjoyed until Not ya mama's vegan Café. This place is insanely good!! Not to mention the owners are a husband and wife and you can tell they are very passionate about what they are doing. They were at a pop up event at the Amesbury brewery recently and got to try their Steak and cheese egg roll which was served with a side of the most amazing chipotle aioli dip ever! I also had their buffalo chicken sami. Holy Moly, you wouldn't even know that you were not eating meat! Each bite was packed with flavor and seasoned so well! I highly recommend you give them a try.

Delicious Vegan Indulgence - Edit
Not Ya Mama's is amazing! Their food is delicious and indulgent. This comfort food is tasty and doesn't leave your gut feeling like ya going to be a mama. I especially love their vegan mac and cheese and their steak and cheese egg rolls! I suspect that even the biggest mama's boys will be crawling from their mama's laps to stuff their gullets here. Gary and Lisa are great, and their love and passion for making good vegan food is evident in their always delicious, always savory menu. Mama be damned! I can't wait to get back to try their chicken sandwich!

Amazing vegan comfort food - Edit
I've visited a couple of their pop-ups at a farmer's market and at a brewery, and both times they knocked it out of the park! The first time , I had their mac & cheese, as well as their steak and cheese roll (with a side of the most delicious chipotle aioli dip ever!). Everything was incredibly delicious! Mac & cheese was super creamy and so yummy. Steak and cheese rolls, so good! They were so crispy and full of flavor. I could have eaten more! The second time I visited their pop up I got the Crispy Chicken Sammie, and holy smokes! It was by far, the best vegan chicken sandwich I've ever had! It was topped with their awesome homemade coleslaw and buffalo hot sauce, on a delicious sweet roll...absolutely divine! I had a chance to chat a bit with Gary and Lisa/the owners, they were such nice people who give off a great vibe, and it was clear they have a passion for this! If you get the chance to try their delicious grub, do it!

Buff + Blue roll! - Edit
Visited their pop-up at NEVegFest, they were offering three items, the Buff Bleu Rolls, Bulgolgi Rice, and Crispy Chicken Sammie. I tried the Buff and Bleu Roll, which was awesome and wish I could’ve had 10 more! Looking forward to trying them again.
