Raw vegan bibimbap with fresh veg & tofu on bed of quinoa & sweet & spicy sauce $13 was best. Buddha bowl was bland aside from green house dressing. Choc lava cake not chocolatey or sweet enough.

Amazing vegan raw food restaurant. I absolutely love the Indian Platter. The desserts are fantastic and imaginative, like the chia seed tapioca banana split with raw vegan caramel pecan ice cream!

Had the chipotle (cashew) cheese roll and gochujong Korean fofu. Small bits of food, but so flavorful and delicious (and healthy)!

Congregate with other veg heads like the triple threat Broadway performer Ben Vereen, who is a big fan of Quintessence. Add this to your to-do list and read up on other vegan hot spots on MetroFocus. Read more

NYC's mecca for all things raw, organic & vegan, which means that, shame-producing arguments aside, you will leave this place with a spring in your step, a void in your wallet & a general glow. Read more

The bibimbap was fantastic. Fresh and filling, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Romaine burrito, Asian pate roll, any of the soups. You feel alive when you leave.

The buddha bowls are enormous. No way a person can eat that in one sitting. 20 bucks is pricey, but its dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow.

It's raw, its vegan, it's delicious. Very complete menu including some cooked. Don't leave without trying the desserts!! (Especially pecan pie)

I'm not normally big on virtuous food, but the bread & salad w Peter's Pot soup (a kind of gazpacho), all of it vegan raw, is the tastiest $10 lunch you will find in the E Village.
