Delicious food!! - Edit
Whilst visiting New York I wanted to try out some Vegan restaurants so, as recommended by a friend, I downloaded HAPPYCOW and as a result found Peacefood Cafe.
Read moreI took a friend a long who is not vegetarian but she was willing try it with me.
I had the Cheese Burger and she had the HotPot. Followed by Peanut Butter Cheesecake and Carrot Cake with almond lattes to finish.
OMG!!! What delicious food!! I am only recently Vegetarian and I can honestly say that I have NEVER tasted a burger that good in all my life!!
The Hot Pot was delicious too.
As for the deserts the Cheesecake was impressive by any standards but the fact it was Vegan made it outstanding. However the Carrot Cake was truly spectacular although a little rich but it was moist and flavoursome!
Pros: Delicious Healthy Food, Good decor and friendly atmosphere , Great Value for money
Cons: service could be a little better but was not bad. , not enough Peace Foods in New York

Nope - Edit
Will not ever go back to Peacefood Uptown. It's obvious that the owners need to be around more. The staff ignore customers and give sass. The biggest issue I had was watching one of the servers drop a sandwich on the floor, pick it up, and put it in a takeaway box that was sent to a table. Absolutely never trusting them again.
Read moreWhile the food quality is pretty good, it can be a little greasy. The desserts and pastries were actually excellent, probably the only good thing about this venue.
Pros: good dessert
Cons: horrible service

Fantastic place - Edit
Location is nice and the place offers a cosy environment. most importantly they have a very friendly staff and healthy food, which are kind of rarities in NYC. everything is awesome, but a special mention goes to the pecan doughnut and the plain cheesecake that are indescribable.

I didn't love the favorite items - Edit
as much as everyone else...I had the chickpea fries, lasagna and fluffy quinoa salad and didn't have an omg mouth experience. They were good, but not amazing. On a save the day note, my carnivore kids did like the burger and the sandwich cookies were AMAZing (mint chocolate). Conveniently super close to the Natural History Museum and Manhatan's Children's Museum.
Read morePros: Friendly, prompt customer service, Great location, Yummy desserts.

Great vegan breakfast - Edit
I recently tried Peacefood for Saturday brunch, mainly because I was heading to Hampton Chutney Co (which has vegan-friendly Indian dosa) but it was only 10 am and Hampton Chutney wasn't open yet. Saw the sign for Peacefood Vegan Bakery right next door, so we tried it. The tofu scramble was excellent. The service was great. I will definitely be back - next time will head right to Peacefood. Another vegan place (Blossom du Jour) is across the street, so this block may have the highest concentration of vegan and vegan-friendly places in NYC. If you're looking for a great place for a vegan breakfast/brunch on the upper West side, check out Peacefood.

customer service experience - Edit
I was impressed by the waitress who attended me and two friends yesterday, and she was kind enough to offer us dessert when acknowledging our appetizers has not arrived sooner. Overall, a great place to eat with a team who cares about their customers.

Excellent food for reasonable prices - Edit
My friend and her daughter and I had the vegan chili with cornbread, the dumplings and the most delicious smoothy I have ever had in my life (passionfruit). Everything was reasonably priced and delicious, especially the chili. The bakery items looked tempting, but this was meant to be a light lunch. The wait staff was friendly and helpful, the art on the walls - fun and modern, and we enjoyed every minute of our visit.

Classy Vegan Restaurant - Edit
We visited to have a drink and take advantage of the wifi. Such a clean, awesome restaurant, with very friendly staff. We had the hot chocolate (one with soy, one with Brazil Nut Milk - incredible), and a slice of the vanilla cake. We'll definitely be back for more.

Excellent, so .. much... food... - Edit
The serves are massive, you can struggle getting though a main, but you'll want one each 'cos there is so much tasty food. The cakes are awesome and best taken away for after you recover from the size of your main. Heaps of choices, service is good, can be busy but they keep it ticking over. Not too pricey for NYC, good neighbourhood.

Love this place - Edit
I have been here twice now, both times with non-vegans in tow. I love everything I've tried! The chickpea fries are not to be missed. Make sure to save room for dessert too. The cinnamon roll is one of the best I've ever had!

If I lived in New York, I would visit here often - Edit
It is not just Peacefood but also happy food. I had a sandwich and the gingerade and a cookie to go since we were off to a show. The restaurant has a great atmosphere being bright and lively. We had great seats at the window table. Our server was friendly and informative about the menu. Very attractive and tasty food.

Fab food and great location - Edit
Me and my mum went to this cafe after finding it on here and the fact that it was just down the road from our hotel. The food was yummy and the waitresses were plesent. I had a juice and the vegan cheeseburger and my mum had the raw lasagne with a Asian salad and a ginger lemonade. We both had a dessert and have saved part of it for breakfast.

Won't Mind to go Back to try other desserts - Edit
Was there for lunch with 3 young kids while visiting to the natural museum around 2 blocks away. Was surprised that the cafe wasn't as busy as what i would expected. But after we settled in, people started coming in and mostly just for take away. We had nuggets, seitan sandwich and key lime pie. The food were really just ok. The sandwich got a very thick bread and too little pesto. Arugula were a bit too bitter and "spicy" for the tongue of the kids. Was having high expectation on the pie (as per someone's feedback), but i wasn't impressed and thought it was very over-priced (a slice at 7$). They have the largest vegan selection of desserts i ever know. Waitresses weren't very attentive or helpful but not rude.

Upper West Side Vegan Oasis - Edit
Peacefood Cafe is one of my absolute favorite vegan restaurants in NYC. The restaurant is filled with beautiful artwork, an upbeat vibe and friendly staff. Peacefood is the place I go every Mother's Day for brunch and I have been there to celebrate birthdays and Valentine's Day. Everything is absolutely delicious; my goal is to sample every dish on the menu. The PFC Unchicken, Fried Seitan Medallion Panini, Vegetable Tempura and Roasted Potatoes Pizza are standouts. The desserts are absolutely not to be missed; every pie, cookie, cake, scone and bar is outstanding. Head to the UWS to experience this vegan oasis.

bakery is amazing! - Edit
I was really excited to try this place and for the most part it met my expectations! The bakery was just so, so good- I was there three times over our stay (we were only a few blocks away, I couldn't resist!), and all of the baked stuff was amazing: carrot cake was super moist with incredible frosting, yummy banana bread that they heated up for me and served with vegan butter, chocolate chip & almond scone, and cowboy cookie. The ginger latte I got one morning was also incredible- exact right balance of sweet and spicy ginger. The savory things that we got for lunch were fun but not mind blowing- the pumpkin sandwich and roasted vegetable panini were good but felt kind of dry, and the chickpea fries were also good but not something I'd necessarily go back for. The bakery I WOULD go back for, though, and I'm sure I will next time we're there!

a wonderful place - Edit
What a find! I discovered this delightful restaurant after having a medical test which required me not to eat for four hours before. I said to the server "is everything here vegan; I don't have to worry about something being served that is animal based?" She said "that's a wonderful question. Of course everything is vegan". The kale veggie soup was excellent as was the burger with chipotle. I recommend this restaurant.

The selection of desserts is astounding! - Edit
The pan-seared Shanghai style dumplings were amazing and their ginger balsamic dipping sauce was drinkable! The chickpea fries are very tasty and spicy too, but the soy nuggets were bland. The potato salad doesn't look like much, but it is SO GOOD! I particularly like the fresh lettuce and bell pepper that comes with it. Now for the most important part - desserts! They have a HUGE dessert case that made me drool as soon as I walked in. The peanut butter cheesecake was a nice balance between sweet and salt, the grasshopper cookie sandwich has a wonderful mint frosting inside, strawberry shortcake was better when melted because it gave the center frosting more flavor, the regular cheesecake was good because it was smothered in strawberries and strawberry sauce.

simply amazing - Edit
During my stay in the city I visited Peacefood for lunch and the food was really good. The staff was really nice and friendly. I had the nuggets, mushroom pizza and a chocolate cake. It wasn't a traditional pizza but I loved it :) the nuggets was amazing and the chocolate cake was exactly like my grandmothers. I will come back for sure :)

Good food but ambiance mediocre - Edit
Peace food has a great philosophy on life through food, and for that, thank you. The menu is standard vegan fare, but the dessert selection rivals some bakeries. The best food choices here are whatever suits your palate. The salads are always a fav, but raw can be a preference, too. I like to go here because I have many choices that are good for dessert! Vegan desserts are not easily delicious, but they do a pretty fair job here.
Read moreI also love that I can go here and get a smoothie and sandwich or just veggies and cake. The categories of food here cover just about any vegan palate at any time, so, thanks Peacefood! Just work on the staff attitude.
Pros: Vegan baked goods, Vegan philosophy
Cons: Attitude

Update the menu, please! - Edit
I go to Peacefood quite a lot. It's great for both lunch and dinner, for dining both alone and with a friend, and is reasonably priced. I also like the atmosphere and the staff are friendly and service is quick. However, I'm sort of bored with the menu. It hasn't changed for at least 2 and a half years (since I moved to NYC) and there aren't any specials besides soups. If you go, I recommend the quinoa salad, the roasted pumpkin sandwich, or the kale salad (serves only at dinner), and any of the raw pies for dessert (key lime is my favorite!).
Read morePros: Nice atmosphere and staff, Reasonable, especially for NYC vegan fare, Raw pies!!!

Yum - Edit
First stop on my tour of vegan NY. Had the Roasted Japanese Pumpkin sandwich, which had caramelized onions and arugula. Very good. Don't skip the delicious and refreshing Gingerade. So great. Although I didn't get to try it, the man next to me said the carrotcake was the best he'd ever had in his life. He had a cheeseburger with the works and it looked appetizing,
