We had the fried chicken platter and chicken sandwich and they were amazing!!!! The chicken is made of mushroom and the texture is seriously amazing!! The chicken, mac and cheese, and kale were all so tasty and flavorful. great find in Philly!

Great food!

Everything was so great! The chikin platter of battered fried mushrooms, mac n cheese, and kale was amazing and quite chicken-like in texture, the sweet potatoes were perfectly crispy, the pizza was loaded with yummy toppings, the seaweed salad was delicious, and the strawberry shortcake was great too. 5/5

Fried Chick-un for the win!

Walked up to the market and stopped in for an early dinner. Long story short; I’ll fight you for their fried chic-un! Great flavor. Cool vibe in the store. We’ll be back.

Pros: All vegan!, Breakfast all day., Solid selection.

Good first impression

Stopped in spontaneously. Decent size menu. I learned Sour sop fruit is a thing and they have juice which tastes pretty good. I got the unchicken sandwich made of enochi mushroom. Yummy. I recommend trying. But to warn you there is a shop that kills and sells live chickens on the same street. Very sad.

Pros: Yummy food, Good vibes, Clean

Cons: Near a chicken slaughterhouse

Excellent Cheesesteak!

The second stop on the vegan cheesesteak tour is an excellent one! The seitan here has lovely texture; it’s tender, not too chewy, and has savory flavor of its own.

The onions, peppers, and mushrooms are sautéed well with just a bit of crunch in them.

The cheese is delightfully gooey and tasty. The whole wheat roll has nice flavor but could be toasted more.

The portion is quite generous! Half a sandwich is equal to a whole sandwich at The Tasty, and this one’s less expensive…

Great side dishes

This is a nice place to get vegan options of Caribbean and soul food. I got the vegan chicken platter (with mac & cheese and sautéed kale) and the divine dish large (my choices were veggie black rice, vegan oxtail, jerk veggie steak, curry plantain, and ginger zucchini). Unlike many people’s opinions, I thought the chicken was just ok, and I didn’t care for the vegan oxtail or the jerk veggie steak. However, the sides were wonderful. If I go back, I would order all sides for the divine dish and pass over any meat substitutes. The best was the curry plantain. I wish I had ordered multiples of that. The flavor was perfect. I also recommend the ginger zucchini.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Large portions for price, Varied menu

Cons: Meat substitutes weren’t that good

Tasty food/Mixed Atmosphere

Pros: A pretty and atmospheric location. Dine-in available. Really unique and flavorful breakfast burrito.

Cons: General concerns around Covid safety: not all staff wearing masks properly (if at all); when it gets busy, lots of people crowded around main counter ordering and picking up food (no social distancing encouraged) and sometimes lots of people dining in.

I recommend ordering in advance to reduce time spent indoors ordering, waiting for order, and picking up from the far side of a potentially crowded ordering area if you are at all Covid-conscious.

Pros: Atmosphere, Flavors, Nice portion

Cons: Weird vibe sometimes, Flauting of Covid protocols

Best pizza ever!

Just happened to spot this place while walking and decided to pop in for a snack. Ordered the pizza to share and my husband (not vegan) and I were totally blown away. There were so many wonderful elements—served piping hot with light melted cheese, fresh pesto, veggies, avo etc. surprising combinations that worked perfectly. The owner was delightful. Service was fantastic.

Pros: So many options, Fresh healthy food, Indoor and outdoor seating

Oh my gosh, I love this place!

Some of the best food in Philly. I'm always down for the vegan fried chicken platter.
I do miss their old location, only because I really dont like going through the Italian market. My orders often take a while, so I'd recommend you order ahead. They are worth the wait!

Pros: Great food

Great smoothies

Ive had a few different smoothies here and I really like them all. Otherwise I’ve inly tried their fried chicken sandwich and one of their salads. Both were good, but nothing crazy.

Pros: Great smoothies

Cons: Actual food lacked some flavors

Outstanding in every way

Vegan Jamaican soul food. It's flavorful, healthy, and made with love. The staff are friendly and wonderful. They have a nice variety of wraps, sandwiches, entrees, juices, smoothies, baked goods, soup, and desserts made in-house (all vegan). There is one item on the menu that is non-vegan, the Pure Pesto Pizza, and it is clearly labelled as non-vegan. They also sell some natural health supplements and soaps and toothpaste and stuff like that. This place is really quite special and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Philly.

Pros: Magnificent food, Friendly staff

Great omelette and juice.

Had the vegan omelette platter and the daily greens juice. Both were great! They opened in January just in time for the pandemic, but they said they've been busy and I can understand why. I'll definitely go back to try their sandwiches and pizza.
