A Worcester staple. - Edit
Every time I happen to be in the city I eat here. The menu is full of vegetarian and vegan options that are more than the standard option that so many places.

Clear & extensive vegan menu! - Edit
So many vegan options clearly labeled with lots of protein!
Read moreTofu, vegan chicken, plant protein powder, etc
Only suggestion would be to make online ordering for smoothies more customizable with the protein powder selection (the default is whey & it costs extra to add plant protein)
Updated from previous review on 2025-08-16
Pros: Clearly labeled vegan, Lots of vegan protein
Cons: Plant protein costs extra for online ordering

Nu kitchen is always a solid go-to! Has a whole vegan menu for breakfast and lunch/dinner. They also update their options frequently so it's always exciting to see what creative dishes they come up with :)

They helpfully have a vegan section on the menu. We had the vegan scrambled tofu and edamame dumplings for breakfast. The food was fine. The place was a little noisy,

great quick option! - Edit
i am always enjoying the food here, however i will say it is disappointing to see only some items are dairy/egg free. the vegan menu has been improved in the last year or so - namely, they’ve put everything that’s vegan on one section of the menu so it is MUCH easier to find!

Excellent breakfast options! - Edit
This place is awesome! We had tofu scramble sandwiches on sourdough and an açaí bowl. Everything was delicious, and there were many more things on the menu that sounded terrific. Coffee and smoothie were great too.

Lots of yummy vegan options! - Edit
Really good food! I got the tofu tacos and a waffle. It’s so hard to find vegan food at restaurants, especially vegan breakfast, and this place had so much to choose from. I’m not used to so many options. And they were very clearly labeled; V for vegan, V for vegetarian

Really good - Edit
They had plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. I ordered a breakfast burrito with fake eggs and impossible sausage, it came with kale and I believe sweet potato and it was great. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and the service was very quick.

They don’t rush you - Edit
This place has some great vegetarian choices. Their smoothies and sandwiches are awesome.
Read moreI’ve worked from here for a few hours while selling/showing my house. I’ve also met friends here and stayed for a couple of hours. It’s near a couple of colleges so you’ll often see people eating and studying. Great place to meet and eat if you don’t want to get rushed.

Nice place - Edit
For Worcester this place is great. Lots of healthy vegan options. Got the buddha bowl with tofu and vegan pancakes. They were pretty good, nothing to rave about but at this price point I thought they were perfectly adequate. I especially liked the decor with the skylight and copious plants, which made for a calming and inviting atmosphere.

A family favorite - Edit
We love this place. Chill atmosphere inside. Love the plants and sky lights. Super waffle and hot turmeric tea (golden milk) my two favorites. The acai bowls are delicious. They have fresh juice and juice shots. Small patio outside. If they could get the outside to vibe like inside, it would be awesome! My only issue is food is on point 88% of the time. Usually when I grab take out and order online. Some variations of the order can be off sometimes (ie. No, mayo but there was mayo or no cheese but ended up having cheese). Nothing to keep us from coming back though. We love this place.

Nice variety - Edit
Whether you want it breakfast food, a smoothie, or a grain bowl, NU Kitchen has it all. The vegan and vegetarian symbols on the menu look very similar from afar so just verify everything with your cashier for server. There is indoor and outdoor dining.

Overhyped - Edit
The atmosphere was nice but felt more like a fast food experience (in the line) than it did anything else. This wouldn't matter to me except for the fact the meals are crazy over priced. I'm not saying the food wasn't okay, I'm saying that the best thing about my vegan meal was the $3 avocado toast I ordered. That was the only thing I ordered that I felt was worth its price. I spent $30 on a salad, panini (for husband) toast and a SMALL SMOOTHIE that came out to almost $7 dollars. I would go again but I feel like now I know what I'd like to order and that makes all the difference at a shop like this-there are things to avoid in my opinion. Vegan, vegetarian, meat options available and I've been looking for an all inclusive dinner.

Unexpected find! - Edit
We were off to eat at another location and realized they were out of what we wanted. We used H.C and found this place! We had the Harvest Burrito, it hit the spot. It would have been perfect with a little more seasoning, but still really good! Thank you Happy Cow and for the reviewers!

Lots of Options - Edit
Formerly known as Nu Café. Boasts plenty of vegan options for smoothies, baked goods, and even hot meals. I often frequented Nu Kitchen to do school work, as many college students do. Definitely grab a hot beverage and try the Vegan Banh Mi when you get the chance.
