Great bowls

this was so refreshing after a week of eating heavier, classic American food. The thai bowl was delicious and filling, and the service was really quick

Pros: lots of vegan options, big portions, fresh

Will be returning for more

I like this place. The menu has creative combinations, and mainly uses whole foods. I got the Possible burger which has a horseradish cream on it. I don’t really like horseradish but I gave it another try here and it was good. But they do put quite a bit and that [censored] is strong so it goes straight to the brain.
Unless you really like that I’d ask for light cream on it or don’t get that one.
Also came w a side arugula salad w an incredibly delicious dressing. Found a new spot to go to when in Times Square area

Pros: Whole Foods paradise, Variety of food options, Quick service

Cons: Slightly expensive

Healthy "fast food"

If you need a delicious, fast and vegan food this place is perfect.
We were full after the meal and the staff was friendly, too.
The place is a bit hidden in a basement.

Good

“Sour power” juice satisfied my green juice craving and the dragon cheesecake was tasty but felt a little lacking.

A quick and healthy bite

I enjoyed dining here, it’s a convenient location for pre-theatre and blissfully uncrowded. I ordered the Jackfruit Tacos with a side salad and my friend ordered a Falafel plate. The tacos but good but the jackfruit was cold and not integrated with the other ingredients. The oil-free salad was too cold also and a little watery and bland. My friend’s falafel dish tasted more flavourful. I’ll be back and try another dish. Loved my sour green juice.

Pros: Many vegan options, Open kitchen , Convenient for a pre-theatre bite

Cons: Only 10 tables (not really a con), Can be noisy, like when the juicer is going

Meh

We were super excited to try this place based on the menu and reviews, but the bowls were very bland and missing any sort of texture - so it felt like we were eating the same thing over and over again (and these are huge!)

The salads might be better, but won’t be going back to try it.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Bowls were super bland and uninspired

Good stop for a quick bite

Located in Hell's Kitchen halfway between Broadway and the Hudson, this is a good stop for a quick superfood bowl, smoothie, or vegan chocolate cheesecake!

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, On a nice side street, All organic

Cons: Expensive, Concealed entrance, Not completely vegan

An almost hidden oasis on restaurant row

Friendly staff serving juices, smoothies and bowls from behind a counter. Bright space despite basement setting. Comfortable seating but the juicer and blender are loud at this mostly to go spot.

Pros: Mostly vegan menu

Cons: Not accessible, steep stairs to basement setting

Charming

Lots of fresh and delicious menu options, from juices, cold bowls, hot bowls, various burgers (quinoa, cauliflower, etc.), salads, and raw desserts. It is a cute garden level space, with eight little too person tables they can be pushed together and a handful of counter stools.

Vegan salad and dessert

All I need in life these days is salad and dessert. This place delivered in spades a very bountiful harvest. Vegan cheesecake of the dragon fruit or chocolate variety- great! Then there’s the salad like vegan Caesar and Rainbow salad. The they have burgers and gluten free bread (called tart ones) with toppings more exciting than avocado. Bowls are plentiful and hearty- brussel sprouts and cauliflower, even sushi bowls. Get yourself some superfood breakfast bowls like matcha and quinoa or almond butter and carob. Loved this place! Amazing!

Pros: Vegan cheesecake , Salad, Quinoa and superfood bowls

Fantastic place!

Down-to-earth, healthy, delicious food in a down-to-earth setting. This place is on what is known as Restaurant Row, but most of the other of the many restaurants on the block are not well suited for vegetarians, vegans, or those who seek healthy food. You order at a counter, either for takeout or to eat at the functional tables.
To get to this place, you need to walk down metal stairs (the place is not wheelchair accessible--those on wheelchairs would need to order out). It might seem a bit creepy at first to walk down to what seems like a cellar, but the food here is worth it.

Pros: Delicious, healthy food, Many vegan options

Cons: Not wheelchair accessible

Vegan friendly and lovely

Despite that this place isn’t fully vegan, they promote super foods and the menu is 95% raw vegan. They food is clean and fresh, the kale salad is delicious and I went back two weeks in a row for it and can’t wait to go again. The staff is friendly and super accommodating. Located on Restaurant Row in the Theater District, it’s a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Pros: Raw, Friendly staff, Charming decor

Cons: Not fully vegan

Yummy Vegan Bowls, Burgers, Cheesecakes, and More!

Whenever I visit NYC, this place is always a must! I love that the ingredients are organic, and the menu items are so fresh and nourishing. They are also very careful in preparing the non-vegan items separately from the vegan items, which I appreciate. On my most recent trip, I ordered the Italian Pesto Bowl (plus added 2 baked falafel) and the Pink Dragon Cheesecake (picture is below). The bowl is definitely filling as there's a plethora of nuts and seeds in it, and it's bursting with pesto flavor. I highly recommend adding the falafel, as they were some of the best I've ever had. The cheesecake was creamy, tart, and fruity. As for other order recommendations, I've had the Philadelphia Sushi Bowl in the past, which is another favorite of mine, and my sister raves about the Mediterranean Falafel Bowl. Definitely try this place!

Exotic vegan place

Cosy Restaurant with unconventional and creative menu. We only had breakfasr and bowls were lacking texture. Coffee creations were a bit too ambitious. Unfortunately only plastic cutlery and non-reuseable cups.
