Delicious - Edit
Wonderful small take out restaurant with a few tables outside. Food was unique and delicious. We tried the falafel pasta salad, toona melt and no cheese Mac and cheese. Falafel pasta salad was greens and pieces of falafel and fusilli in a tasty sauce with rice on the side. Toona melt was made from hearts of palm and also had rice with greens and tomatoes on the side. The Mac and cheese was creamy also made with fusilli. Owner Raheem was on site. Very enthusiastic and kind. Family run. Moving to a larger location on Atlantic Ave soon.
Read morePros: Falafel pasta salad, Large portions , Toona melt
Cons: Sadly out of popular chicken dishes for the day

Bland at best - Edit
The restaurant is cute and the staff are very friendly, however despite the food sounding delicious, it was bland and tasteless. The rice was undercooked, and nothing had any flavour.

Wonderful food and people! - Edit
One of the best vegan meals I’ve ever had in S Florida. A family of four and only one vegan. But the food was loved by all! We tried the mushroom burger, the falafel salad and the fried chicken. Each dish had terrific flavor and consistency. We went back for dessert and tried the carrot cake and the vegan cheesecake. Our non vegans said the cheesecake was better than “real” cheesecake. Will definitely be back every time I visit from the west coast.
Read morePros: Lots of choice!, Friendly staff, Delicious!
Cons: Not much outdoor seating

Sweet little spot with vegan comfort food - Edit
If you like Mac and cheese and burgers and became vegan.
Read moreYou can still eat it here and be ok. So far I have tried several dishes and everything is tasty and filling.
I am energetically sensitive to food. Many vegans shops are not really vegan. Here they actually are vegan, the owner is vegan and most of the cooks are too. You can feel this in the food.
Pros: Macaroni and Cheese

Homemade, many selections...family run. - Edit
I went at lunch time. It’s a popular place so it took a little time to get seated- well worth the wait. Parking is a little challenging as it’s on street and not much- approx 4-5 spots within the block associated to the restaurant. I had to go around the block and park on another street and block. It’s a wonderful way to introduce the “new to eating plant based/vegan” because the selection is friendly and familiar, a lot of comfort foods . Everything is homemade and definitely made with pride and love. They use minimal processed foods but they do use Daiya cheese and Veganaise which are highly processed foods in some of their recipes. It’s family run so Mom and her adult children are right there to take your order and serve. I had a homemade ginger coconut water lemonade that was amazing. Mom explained that she had made the batch early this morning with her juicer: coconut water, fresh lemons, and fresh raw ginger. What a treat that is: no sugar, no sweetener other than the natural sweetness of the coconut water. I have made No Tuna sandwiches with chickpeas, and also sunflower seeds, but their No TuNo is made with hearts of palm...amazing!! The mayo felt like cauliflower mayo but I forgot to ask. She did say it wasn’t Veganaise- which I was thrilled that it wasn’t. Their rice and kale side is excellent. It’s a must try. DelRay Beach is soooo lucky to have them!
Read morePros: All vegan, Homemade, minimal processed, Family owned and operated
Cons: Size- it’s small and popular so seating limited, Parking- limited on street parking

Patricia was very friendly and my lunch was delicious. I had the pasta/falafel salad. It was a delicious mix of mixed greens, pasta, and chopped falafel; served with a side of curried rice. It was perfectly light for lunch.

Just Ok - Edit
I want to love this place more. We support it, every time we are in the area we stop here to eat. I appreciate that they have raw food options for me and vegan food for my family. I just wish it was all organic and had healthier options. They have a lot of junk vegan options. The staff is always very nice and friendly but they overheated my raw tomato soup. As a raw vegan it tasted like acid. They did not offer refund, instead, they said they put hot water and blended it hot in the vitamix. There’s a huge difference between raw gazpacho and hot tomato soup. We also arrived abt 30 mins before closing time and they were kind enough to allow us to order to go. We sat outside and ate and took all our trash to recycle at home. Again, I will continue to come here until I find other raw vegan options in this area.
Read morePros: Fully vegan menu , Raw plant based options , Nice staff, Good kid friendly options
Cons: raw food is never heated over 115 degrees , Too much junk vegan food , Closes at 3.

Overhyped :( - Edit
The place was packed but the food was just ok. I should have probably gotten something raw. Fried chicken was all breading but it was the best thing we got. Del ray needs more vegan options maybe this place will step up then.
Read morePros: Fried chicken was ok, Atmosphere was cute , Raw food is good
Cons: Mac n cheese tasted out of the box, Tuna melt just a tuna sandwich w cheeze & toast, Portions are tiny & overpriced

Yummilicious Fried Chicken and Mac and Cheese - Edit
We both ordered the Fried "chicken" and mac and cheese. They must have double or triple breaded it with all the right spices because this was the crunchiest vegan anything I've had. The chicken was jackfruit and seasoned perfectly. The cheese sauce was so creamy and good. They have lots on the menu, but just make sure you call first and ask if they have this on the menu, as it's a special!
Read morePros: Big portions, Flavorful food..nothing bland here

Fine? - Edit
The smoothie tasted good but was not cold at all... Had a hard time drinking
Read moreHad chicken & waffles... $14 ... The waffle was like gum in the middle. If you have any sort of texture issues, would not recommend.
Chicken tasted good but was so SHARP & hard like cuts the roof of your mouth

Good food, friendly staff - Edit
I went there because I read an article about a vegan restaurant that made it to the list of “best chicken sandwiches in Florida”. Sooo, I figured I HAD to try it, but when I got there (I live hours away), they said they only do the chicken on weekends. But the server apologized and was very nice and friendly. I tried the porcini burger, which was tasty, but a bit thin. Maybe I was just really hungry at the time. But it’s definitely a solid, good restaurant with super friendly staff and you should go support this place when you are in the area.
Read morePros: Good food. , Friendly staff.
Cons: Pricey for the portion size. , Only have chicken on weekends.

Best vegan - Edit
Cozy restaurant owned by a lovely West Indian couple who provide the best vegan food and great service. Located off the beaten path but easy to find near downtown Delray Beach. I had the falafel salad which was a generous, flavorful portion of greens and other veggies. For dessert I had icecream Sunday made with coconut milk. Delicious! I will be back!
Read morePros: Lots of flavor, very friendly service.
Cons: None.

BEST TASTING VEGAN FOOD EVER - Edit
It's very rare for me to find a restaurant where all meals taste deliciously OUT OF THIS WORLD: the appetizer, entree, and dessert. Usually it would be one or the other, but not all three. Every dish had the RIGHT AND EXACT AMOUNT OF SPICES. Each bite packs a flavorful punch. You know how when you're eating, after a few minutes in your taste buds get accustomed to the taste and it's like your food has already reached its peak of deliciousness? Well all of their dishes (appetizers, entree and dessert) keeps the taste buds reaching for a climax and never reaches it until the plate has been sparkling clean ready to put back in the drain basket. She put her feet and all of her ancestors feet up in EVERY plate. You can taste the love and flavor with every bite
Read morePros: Their presentation of the food is IMPECCABLE
Cons: Place too small for actual amt of customers deserv
