The food is so good

Way more vegan options on the bistro dinner menu but all of the food is fantastic. Waitstaff need some training on what ingredients are vegetarian vs. vegan.

Cons: Takeout menu is limited

Amazing salads!

We met up with a bunch of animal eaters so I was thrilled with the vegan options. For $10, I got a huge salad with 4 toppings. The tofu was delicious and great portions. I also got the white beans, tomatoes and the pickled onions. They gave everyone complimentary tomatoes soup! It was delicious. Nice casual dining in the heart of Manayunk

Should be 5 stars!

This place is amazing, been a few times and every dish is
a hit. So many different vegan/veg options and everything we've had is delicious. They even make their own cheese! A must try!

MUST TRY THE TOMATO SOUP!!!!

Tomato soup is unbelievably awesome. Unbelievably spectacularly awesome. You have to try it.

Also got a vegan Plain Jane pizza, which was very doughy, but the sauce was good. And then the vegan crab cakes, which were interesting, but I probably wouldn’t order them again. If you like crab cakes and potato salad, you would like these a lot!!

To reiterate: you need to go to try the tomato soup. Travel considerable distance for the soup. It’s that good.

Pros: TOMATO SOUP!!!!!

Cons: Doughy pizza

I haven't been here in awhile...

I haven't eaten here in awhile, but I remember the pizza being pretty good and I appreciated that they had vegan cheese years ago when not many places did. They expanded the menu and have a lot more vegan options now which is awesome.

Pretty good

Vegan cheesy bread was good. The sandwhich was meh. I like that they make their own Vegan cheese. Overall a good experience. I'm not raving but I'm glad I found it.

Great options for vegans

Went with non-vegan family so I was glad to find a place with options for everyone. I didn’t feel limited and most non-vegan items can be made vegan. I got the cheesy breadsticks and beyond burger. Everything was fantastic and I have no complaints about the food or service.

Pros: Lots of options , Easy to make substitutions

So many great options

menu is a little difficult to read, so definitely ask the server and they will help you. i love getting the garlic knots which can be made vegan by request and are soooo good! i also get the veggie house special pizza with vegan cheese, and it is delicious and filling. one other thing to note is they always give a sample of their tomato bisque, but it is not vegan so you need to ask to not get it.

Pretty good food

The service was quick and the food was pretty good. We ordered the vegan calamari, charred eggplant, and cauliflower power bowl. The calamari was ok but the sweet chili sauce that accompanied it was all wrong, they should have served it with a marinara sauce instead. I liked that the charred eggplant had a kick to it but I didn't taste much eggplant. The cauliflower power bowl had way too much tahini-miso sauce for my taste. But all in all, would go back to try other vegan options.

Pros: Many vegan options , Quick service

5 stars really!

This is my go to vegan pizza for about a year now. ~Classic sauce, Kite hill vegan cheese w/ fennel, artichoke and mushroom bac’n (sometimes olive tapenade too :p) I’ve ordered this at least 10 times and it’s always amazing. Love that the ingredients are locally sourced & organic. SO GOOD!

Pros: Many vegan options , Locally sourced veggie toppings , Organic ingredients

Be careful fellow vegans

Both my sister and I are vegan for years. We ordered a “chicken” Cesar salad along with a vegan margarita pizza. The salad was very good and when the pizza came out, we were both amazed by the cheese as it seemed very much like dairy cheese. After half the pizza was gone, the server informed us that the pizza was not vegan cheese!! Seriously, triple check when your food comes out that it is actually vegan! They gave us our actual vegan pizza afterwards but I am just very disappointed. Luckily, I am not allergic to dairy but if I was, I would be in serious trouble, never the less, I’ve been vegan for years! Very disappointed, although the salad was good, and they did have a lot of vegan options.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Gave me non vegan food

New Fave Spot!

The restaurant is super cute and the atmosphere is great! 3 floors with the cafe downstairs and 2 floors for the bistro upstairs. And the music added a lot of the atmosphere. One entire side of the menu was plant based with some alternatives listed for regular items too. We got fries for the table which were excellent. I got the margherita pizza with vegan cheese. It was my first time trying kite hill brand and I really enjoyed it. The pizza itself was really tasty, good crust and flavor. I will absolutely be coming back here!! So happy I found this place!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good prices, Great atmosphere

Terrific selection of vegan dishes

One entire page of the two-page menu was vegan, with 6 starters, 4 salads, 3 sandwiches (including a build-your-own option), 4 plates and 4 sides. I had the cauliflower power bowl and it was incredibly tasty and satisfying. Spouse had the build-your-own "beyond" burger and a salad and pronounced both excellent. I noticed a good craft beer selection, although we were there for lunch and didn't partake. Service was friendly and efficient. It's a two-part, three-story restaurant — the first floor is the Café, with counter service and inside and outdoor tables. The second and third floor are the Bistro, with table service. Both are charming, with a variety of eating spaces and lots of windows looking out on downtown Manayunk, one of Philadelphia's most appealing and lively neighborhoods. We stopped there in the middle of a 22-mile bike trip on the nearby Schuylkill River Trail, and it was the perfect stop for a couple of tired, hungry devotees of vegan fare.

Pros: Imaginative, tasty dishes at reasonable prices, Fresh, local, organic, beautifully prepared food, Variety of charming eating spaces

Lots of vegan options but...

I came wanting good vegan pizza which seems hard to find sometimes. I was super excited to see all the vegan options here. I only tried the vegan pizza and vegan garlic rolls. The vegan margarita pizza came with kite hill ricotta cheese on it and not nearly enough- they didn’t appear to have a vegan mozzarella cheese option, tasted like a tomato pie. It did have a good cook/crispness to the crust tho. The garlic knots came out dry and with a garlic dipping sauce on the side. The dipping sauce tasted odd to me. I ended up throwing most of them out when I got home. I do want to return though and try some of their other vegan options tho!

Great choice for a mixed group

The service is 5 star, because all the staff is so kind and willing to answer all questions. They have a plant based menu and you can veganize almost all pizzas. They have kite hill cheese and beyond burgers/strips. The pesto is also vegan and amazing

Pros: Stellar staff, Clear menu, Nice bistro seating

Great New "Plant-Based" menu

My wife and I are vegetarians so we were very excited to find the new "plant-based" menu at a restaurant we already frequented. We have been back at least 5 times this year and will continue to go back for the sesame avocado salad, the quinoa salad, the "fish tacos", and the edamame dumplings for sure.

Pros: Delicious Plant-Based Options

Cons: Plant-Based Menu is not Vegan, Tad Pricey

Great for vegans/non-vegans

Two sided menu- one side specifically plant-based (ask if specific items can be made vegan). Was told by waitress that all items on plant-based menu ARE NOT actually vegan, but had no problem making accommodations. Had the vegan calamari, hummus, and edamame dumplings- all delicious! For the main course, I had the recommended “fish” tacos that were very tasty! Great option if you’re dining with non-vegan friends. Will go again.

Pros: Variety of (can be made) vegan options, Tasty menu , Great staff and ambiance

Cons: No vegan dessert menu, Not specific of vegan items- unless you ask!
