best

ive been to about 100 vegan restaurants in my journey in the last 8years. this place is by far the best. the flavors, variety, and price was on point. the bread the meatball sub was on tasted like New York bread.

Pros: amazing all around

Cons: none

My favorite spot 💗

This place just keeps getting better and better. Their food is always quality AND quantity. Customer service is top drawer top drawer, they make chic fil a look like its run by 3rd graders. Tyra and Nick are so personable and kind, they make Mother Teresa look like Stalin. Their music selection is welcoming and their vege options are endless. They make being vegan easy and accessible! Thank you!

Wonderful food

A wide variety of delicious food. I had the special, a sloppy joe (though they didn’t have a bun and gave it to me on a hoagie roll instead) and it was far and away the best sloppy joe I’ve ever had. Delicious. My husband had a meatball sub, which he said was good but not as good as Ethos’. We also had mac and cheese (which was ok, not great) and spring rolls (perfect little crunchy bites).

We didn’t see menus we could take away and look at: all food seemed to be listed on a board that was hard to see until we got to the cash register. Maybe we missed something?

Wonderful food, great easy to find location, very nice staff. Definitely would eat there again.

Pros: Variety of food, Delicious , Easy to find

Cons: Out of several things , Hard to read menu

Delicious

Super delicious. I got a gyro and two empanadas. Would recommend the gyro and not the empanadas. Lots of delicious hot sauces.

Pros: So many vegan options, Reasonable price

Cons: Runs out of food by 2pm, Closes at 5pm

Closes at 5!

I arrived at 5 and I could only order food in showcase, yet they were incredibly good. I’ll visit earlier next time to try main dishes. Reasonable price!

We LOVED their vegan fish, puerto rican rice, collard greens, sweet potatoes, orange lemonade and so much more! Yummy food at good prices and nice people. It's a winner!

Delicious & delightful ambiance




We love this place. We wish we had a place like this near home. The owner is very sweet and spectacularly pretty. Puerto Rican flavors are interesting. Great sauces; we’ve tried most of them. Plate is protein & two sides. The vegan Mac & Cheese side could be a lunch by itself.

Pros: Delicious international cuisine, Reasonable prices, less than $10 per meal, Unique grocery items, lots of foreign products

Cons: Often out of specialties at dinner time, Early dinner closing, 7:00., Limited yummy deserts like vegan raw cheesecake

Awesomeness!

The location has a small seating area but very comfortable. Place does get packed so be prepared for minor wait. However, the food is amazing. I have been twice and each time was perfection. The vegan gyro is so flavorful and doesn't lack anything. The empanadas are great and not greasy. There were many non-vegans eating there and everyone just seemed so happy. The owners are super kind and are very active in the restaurant. Check them out and you will not regret it.

Pros: Great vegan options!

Vegan Future Looks Bright!

If the staff and food here are any indication, our vegan future is going to be utopia. Bright smiles & spirit greeted my grandmother and I as we made our first visit here last week. The other patrons were all so friendly, too. What a great spot! We shopped the market which, though small, is packed with a huge variety of vegan items that are hard to find elsewhere. Then on to lunch made to order... Mac & cheeze was not yet sold out (squee!). It went great with the chik'n drumsticks, which were the cutest things ever, and delicious in the sweet & sour sauce. The roasted chickpeas were too spicy for me, but very flavorful. Get 'em if you like it hot. Grandma had the delicious meatballs marinara with a side of cabbage & carrots, which she devoured. Best of all - the MYLKSHAKES. Omg. Sad that they were out of mint choc chip, but I asked for a combo of PB & chocolate, and a vanilla for Grandma. We were in heaven. Very decadent. We brought empanandas home for dinner. Good value and excellent taste. If you haven't been here, go, and bring your pre-vegan friends to show them how amazing vegan is without having to say a word.

The Best Vegan Kitchen

The energy in this restaurant is amazing. The staff is super friendly and obviously care about veganism. The meals are delicious traditional comfort foods. There is a little market inside with lots of vegan items, especially hard to find items in traditional grocery stores. There is plenty of on-site parking. If you miss comfort foods after going vegan, this is the place to go.

Pros: market inside, friendly staff, 100% vegan

doing it right.

My husband and I splurged and tried a variety of their options. Personal favorites were the chicken drum stick and the jerk chicken empanada. I was bummed to see they were out of the Mac and cheeze. She said that in the weekends they run out of the Mac and cheese early (we got there at 1pm). Maybe next time.

Pros: All vegan!, Market inside so that you can pick up some extras, V friendly staff

Cons: Expensive market items (Cooked food wasn’t bad), No Mac and cheese :(

AMAZING

If you ever go here, you HAVE to try their gyros. So good. I come here around once a month to treat myself and I have never been the least bit disappointed with the food. The staff is also very kind and helpful, you can tell that they are passionate about what they do. I love supporting this place, can’t say enough good things.

Pros: Great customer service, GREAT FOOD

Amazing

I’m so glad I got the chance to stop by here while in Tampa. I got the Mac n cheese, drums, and garlic broccoli & my boyfriend got the pulled “pork” bbq empanada. So good and they were so sweet! Even gave us some free cookies ❤️ we will be back! The only con I could say was they could be more environmentally friendly by using non plastic cups and plates for people dining in, but that’s all :)

Pros: All vegan, Delicious comfort food, Great customer service

Delicious

Today I picked up two protein plates from here for my boyfriend and I and they were super delicious. I got the Spanish rice with sweet plantains and sweet and spicy "fish." Also the person who checked me out at the register was very friendly and sweet. Will most definitely come here again :)

Awesome Vegan Food

If you are vegan and enjoy Carribean food, you are in the right place! On my first visit I got jerk ”drums”, rice n’ peas and steamed cabbage with their home made hot sauce.... and they had SORREL!!! Everything was delicious, tasty and made with love!

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff, Clean and inviting, Tasty

Cons: Not inexpensive

ok.

Wanted to support an entirely vegan place, but the food was mainly comfort food and not healthy as I want it to be. However, they had excellent customer service and quickly assisted me in choosing something on their menu. The collard greens and Spanish rice were bland, and the mac n cheese had an aftertaste. Smoothie was refreshing.

Pros: Decent prices, Friendly

Cons: Not healthy vegan , Food needs more flavor

The absolute best! Awesome Service!

Clean, and bright inside, friendly service and the food... oh my, where do I begin. Tasty... Caribbean... fresh... love oozing from this place. You can tell that this restaurant is a labor of love. I am so happy that we have an amazing vegetarian option in North Tampa.

Pros: healthy eating for the least of these...

first visit

First time going into the restaurant and wow was I amazed. Upon entering I was immediately greeted by very friendly staff. I chose some things from the hot menu Togo. I went with the bbq jackfruit sandwich, a soy jerk empanada and a green smoothie. I have had bbq jackfruit before but this one was beyond delicious. The jerk empanada was a perfect (high) amount of spice and when I told them I loved spicy food, they gave me extra sauce. The spicy food was washed down with a delicious green smoothie. It was the perfect amount of vegan comfort food. Even the girl in line behind me said the vegan chocolate chip cookies were the best she’s ever had. So another plus for this vegan friendly restaurant and why I will be returning. They even had vegan substitutes to buy that can be difficult to find. So happy to find some great friendly items. I recommend this vegan, delicious, friendly spot.

best Mac n Cheeze!

Sadly we don’t live very close to this restaurant because I would go weekly if we did! The food was awesome. We loved the Mac n Cheeze! We tried the empanadas, carrot cake, vegan fish, and greens. It was all outstanding! The owner was so friendly and very helpful. The whole staff was awesome with the big group of kids we had with us. We will be back for sure! Wish we had more options near us in Clearwater!!
