Counter meals

The service here is fast and the seating is sparse. The food is solid. Except for the soups which are liquid. Everything on the menu is worth trying at least once but the Beyond Meat Bento Box is a sure bet if you only have one shot at ordering.

Fast and friendly

We had a bento box with soup, bao buns, juice and cake. The bento box was huge, great value for money! My partner had two different bao buns and said they were OK, and we both felt the cake could’ve been a bit more moist. Overall a nice experience, I would definitely recommend the bento box if you’re hungry and in a hurry!

Große Portionen

Die Portionen war wirklich groß und die Preise waren sehr gut. Leider war das Seitan-Chicken versalzen. Auch die Suppe, die in dem Menü enthalten war, hat leider nach nicht sehr viel geschmeckt und meinen Geschmack überhaupt nicht getroffen.

Pros: Große Auswahl, Verschiedene Menüoptionen

Cons: Versalzener Seitan

Delicious Fast-food Lunch

My boyfriend and I were visiting the Big Apple from the UK. We stumbled across the 100% plant-based Spring Cafe for lunch on the way downtown. It is a small place, meant mainly for takeout, but there are a few seats inside and outside. Inside is light and modern, decorated beautifully with plants. We both went for the Hawaiian Vegan Burger with fries and a Hibiscus ice tea. It was absolutely delicious! And good value for money. I cannot recommend it enough.

Pros: Absolutely delicious, Friendly staff, Good value

Cons: Limited seating

Go-to in Soho

BRO I LOVE THIS PLACE. I go here whenever I need a bite in soho. Lots of options,(mostly w imitation meat cheese). But there’s also a few items with just whole foods, if that’s important to you.

The have things like sandwiches, baos, smoothies, juices, and cake.

Everything there is good, pretty cheap. Good portions.

Pros: Cheap, All vegan

Yum!

I had the BBQ burger combo with salad and hibiscus iced tea. All of it was delicious! Not sure how someone else considered this affordable though. Surprisingly enough, the salad was a more expensive side. I spent over $18 on just these three items. So yeah, if you just want to try one thing, I’d definitely recommend the burger.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Expensive

Love that place! I usually do the bao bun combo and it’s ultra filling. Chinatown is basically my second home.. :)

Excellent quick meal

Delicious vegan fish and chicken lunch specials (especially the fish) for about $10.95 each. Nice hot soup included, good serving sizes with plenty of rice. A surprising find in this location! Can't wait to eat there again!

Spring Cafe.......The Place is a Gem!

So excited .....First affordable Asian Vegan Fast Food (but healthy) place. I bought the bao's and boy are they filling. The Tofu Skin Bao was spot on! Can't wait to go back and try the burgers, they have house "veg chick patties" as well as Beyond Meat patty. Very friendly service too, Looking forward to more locations in the future.

11/22/20 Update:
They have an even bigger menu now including Bento boxes, Noodle salad, etc..
I try to buy takeout there every other week. You all must try the "Black Pepper Mushroom" bow or the burger. It is mind blowingly good. What they do with mushrooms is pure magic. The burger will have more of the delicious mushroomy goodness than the bow, but what really blew me away was that they snuck in a sweet crunchy apple slice into the burger. I thought I heard angels sing when I bit into all that yummy goodness. My non-vegan picky son has had the Hawaiian burger all the time, he likes it. It is also very good on that giant fried "chickn" salad too. To be honest, almost everything in Spring Cafe is delicious, moderately priced and great portion size.
Recent YouTuber, VeganBodega Cat gave a huge thumbs up for their mushroom fries........got to try that next time for me.

Realtivley cheap, damn tasty.

Not a huge place, just a few places to sit, food is great. Tasty burgers, salads and buns. Prep is really quick, staff all friendly, sweet Hibiscus tea was addictive. Ate there a couple of times, good prices for New York.
