Giulia PratiOctober 26, 2014Quinoa porridge with a touch of agave syrup and bananas was lovely for breakfast
Katie B.July 10, 2013Gluten-free rosewater coconut muffin - AMAZING! I ate it the next day and it was still moist and scrumptious!
The food is amazing but the place is so LOUD. Nothing to absorb sound at all. Great food, but don't expect to know what the waiter or your friends are talking about. (Still worth it.)
Hailey CaldwellSeptember 28, 2018The dumplings, un-chicken and chocolate cake... I mean wow. Vegan done right.
The raw lasagna is simply divine! Don't be afraid of it being raw, it doesn't disappoint! Oh yeah, and chickpea fries!
NorelleJune 14, 2012Order the pan fried Shanghai dumplings!!! Sooo yummy....oh and the kale salad!!! But pretty much everything there is delicious!!!
Noël DuanJanuary 3, 2013The roasted Japanese pumpkin sandwich was unbearably dry and flavorless. The roasted vegetables plate, chickpea fries, and desserts are delicious, though.
The veg panini with cashew spread and pesto is bangin'. Also start with the veg dumplings.
Julie ToddAugust 12, 2012Oh, the mmmushroommm panini and the raw key (SUB)LIME pie just kill me! I'm lucky that I live on the east side, far away from daily temptation.
Chocolate dipped macaroons, magic cookie, raw chocolate mousse pie. And the dumplings!
Everything I've had here is delish! Try the dumplings, the quinoa salad or one of their yummy soups!
BuzzFeedApril 11, 2014Unlikely as it may seem, fries made out of chickpeas can taste better than fries made out of potatoes.
Lorena MottaFebruary 19, 2015I tried the ginger soy latte and the plain cheesecake. Absolutely delicious.
You gotta try the fried seitan medallion! It's really good, and big, too! Today's special penne with mushrooms and broccolini was also delicious!
Nick MirtoMarch 23, 2012The French horn mushroom panini is amazing, tender shrroms, perfectly toasted foccacia, delicate seasonings.
Out of the pizzes, the mushroom one is my favorite: ground mushroom with freshly grilled sweet peppers and zucchini. Perfect!
Everything is always fresh here. Love the chickpea fries and shanghai dumplings
Lauren LachsJanuary 10, 2013high quality hippie food. try the asian greens salad w/ quinoa + get the dumpling sauce as dressing.
Bonnie EisenmanNovember 23, 2014Love the pumpkin sandwich and vegan cheeseburger. Chili isn't filling enough though.
Igor LenivtsevApril 7, 2014Ask for soup of the day. The mushroom one is delicious! #vegan #nyc #travel
Danilo TokunDecember 28, 2015Good food, Price ok but it took a long time for someone to take our order, even more to bring the food and even more for someone to bring us the check.
Nick PetrisOctober 3, 2014Read many reviews about the chickpea fries. They're tasty but nothing I'd rave over. Just like falafel
- Shay MamoSeptember 26, 2014Yo the raspberry crumble was really really good. Better than the cheesecake.
Be sure to see and enjoy NYC's biggest vegan desserts case!
Miranda HammerJanuary 13, 2012Chickpea fries!! Mushroom sandwich and chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, vegan and gluten free!
Alison FlammJanuary 13, 2013Chocolate cupcakes are delish! So are the carrot cake ones. (Vanilla not bad but not quite as good.)
absolutely everything is delicious but the green coconut curry w tofu is AH-mazing.
Fun Foodie NYC ToursJune 21, 2013Enjoy some vegan food and treats. Also a stop on the Spring Up to The West Side tour.- vegan paradise! make sure to try the double chocolate cookie sandwich, it's amazing!

Esra PRG - 8.7
"One of the better cinemas in NYC (a city that surprisingly has mediocre, often dated movie theaters); also a very broad selection of food and drink."
