Serves Breakfast!

I usually start my #plantbasedfoodie search for chickn waffles not becuase I like waffles but looking for the ultimate vegan fried chickn. This place in Raleigh has really good offering as a whole (with the waffles). And they’re open around breakfast time! #vegan #plantbasedfoodies

Underwhelming

The menu looked great buuuutttt the food not so much. Chili cheese fries had no cheese and the chicken sandwich was just ok. Was looking forward to getting a dessert after meal but the case was next to empty. This place is a skip for me much better places in this area. It was also kinda dirty looking and pretty expensive.

Pros: Big menu

Cons: Underwhelming as a whole, Could do better at a super market

Pure Delicious

Tried this place out for my birthday. Tried the avocado toast, green juice and purple bowl. The toast is super spicy. I loved it but was surprised. Take note if you don't like heat. Purple bowl was really good. Not too sweet. Very balanced. Wheatgrass was a little weak

Chicken sandwich was ok, they were out of waffle fries. I got a golden milk and it was cold and awful.😡pretty disappointed


Update 1-15-2023 came back for another try. We got the PVC Tikki and the BBQ Jackfruit sandwich. Both were fantastic. I upped my star rating. We will definitely be back.

Good vegan place

I tried the Original Chik'n Sandwich, the Rainbow Burger, the Mac n Cheez, and the Buffalo Ranch fries. The Chik'n Sandwich (soy patty) and the Rainbow Burger (Impossible burger) were both delicious to me and my non-vegan relative. So I'd recommend those. And we both said we liked the place and would eat there again. They also have several smoothies, juices, and smoothie bowls that look great. Worth a stop by to try something.

Pros: All vegan place, Quick service, Vegan food that even non-vegans would like

Cons: Mac n' Cheez wasn't cheesy enough

WOW!!

All I can say is wow!
I am so impressed by their food, drinks,
and the friendly staff members. I had the vegan chicken and waffles and I can honestly say that iv never had chicken and waffles that good before even pre-vegan! Everything was super flavorful and cooked to a crisp! I highly recommend going!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious food/affordable , Friendly staff members

Cons: Needs more locations!

They are doing it right!

Came through Raleigh recently and discovered this place. After stopping past here for lunch on the 1st day we ended up stopping past for breakfast the next morning. Breakfast burger was rather feeling but great!

Great variety and a nice space to stop in to recharge. Looking forward to revisiting in the future!

Pros: fast service, good variety

Many choices

I discovered this place about a year ago right here in my own zip code and love it. There are many choices, and I have tried something different almost every time I’ve eaten here.

I like the chipotle chik’n sandwich with sweet potato fries 😋

Pros: Nice sandwich size , A lot of fries , Little spicy due to jalapeño

Cons: Expensive mine cost me 19$ , Must have direct cash 💰

Stopped here for breakfast and we enjoyed everything so much. Southern comfort, pb banana waffle, and breakfast burger were amazing, all hot and fresh. We appreciate having all vegan options so much!

Good

I went with a few fellow vegans and they seemed to enjoy their meals but I myself just got a baked good and Golden Latte and was not super impressed. The Golden Latte was clearly just a mix added to hot water and the banana muffin may have been 4 or 5 days old, but my friends meals were hot and smelled good. I may have just ordered the wrong items. I would go back to try something else if I was in the area.

Flavorful Yummies

We got a lot! I love that we had was delicious and not the typical chik’n. We found out as we were passing by and we all enjoyed the food.

Pros: Lots of options, Unique soy chik’n, Homemade sauces

Cons: Not as many drink options

Meh

Disappointing especially after reading the reviews. Mac n cheese was runny with no flavor. I threw it out. Kale slaw was beyond too peppery. Chia pudding was very good, Brussels sprouts decent.

I waited 45 minutes for an order of all sides. Others who came in 10 minutes after served first🤨

I hope they were just having a bad day….

No. Really come here and try it.

Out-standing.
Absolutely will come again.
Really loved it.
1. Mac and cheese. Spot on.
Not those weirdo, tofu, arrowroot, Wheatgrass recipes. Actually tastes like M&C. Fries. Plain they would be perfect.
Add the stuff, most delicious. Chick and waff, was great. Great breading, doesn't stick well, but then it never does. But tastes fantastic.
Just didn't like the hfcs, all this healthy stuff and that gook. That was my only complaint.
Still got them 5 stars

Pros: Great options , Outdoor seating, Spot on food, pricing, atmosphere

Cons: High fructose corn syrup in the maple syrup, Closes at 7., Really bummed about the HFCS

Spicy and flavorful!

Delighted to find this vegan restaurant on the app! Good options available. Waited about 20 minutes for food to be served (will call ahead next time) but it was worth the wait. The food was delicious and flavorful! Very nice presentation. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable with suggestions. You can dine-in or there are a few tables outside that are shared with other eateries nearby. We ordered the BBQ chick’n sandwich, buffalo chick’n sandwich and a side order of buffalo ranch fries. Nice and spicy! The side order of fries was large enough for two to share.

Pros: Flavorful vegan food, Good options , Friendly service

Cons: Long prep time

AMAZING

I went to Pure Vegan Cafe for the first time yesterday and all I can think about is going back. I ordered the buffalo chickn sandwich, potato fries, and a berry blast smoothie. The sandwich was so good, probably the best I've tried. Fries were crispy and the smoothie tasted great as well. The food had great flavors nothing lacking. I have been vegetarian for about 3 years and just recently decided I was ready to transition to being vegan and I am so happy I found a vegan restaurant so close to me. The staff was really friendly and welcoming, the whole environment was just great. I had a great experience and I hope to go back again soon, I have nothing negative to say about them. If you live in the area or are willing to drive a bit of a distance I definitely recommend Pure Vegan Cafe :)
