I wish we stopped at any other vegan restaurant. Not only did the food take foreverrrrrr to come out (felt like more than an hour!), but it WASN'T a full meal. I ordered the Mediterranean and it was NOT worth the wait or the price. I was given 3 small falafel balls, a serving of rice, a few pieces of sliced carrot and cucumber, a small side salad(??) and a small plate of fries(????). Not at all what you'd expect from a Mediterranean plate, especially with how empty I felt even after eating. The taste was okay but again, how could you screw up the taste of sliced carrots. ? My friend ordered a burrito and got all the fixings, and said they only ate it because they were hungry. Just yikes.The service could've been improved if someone came out and gave an estimate for our food, or apologized and compensated us in some way. We're very patient people though and didn't want to be rude or put pressure by asking ourselves, but it was just ridiculous, and why should we have to?? It was not busy and people who arrived after us were being served and checked up on. A burrito and a plate of leaves and rice should NOT take over an hour to be made. Just ridiculous. Not worth the $50.When our bird food FINALLY came out, I had to ask the server, "Could we get some water?" She was chipper and brought us some, and acted like we weren't sitting there for over an hour, starving and twiddling our thumbs...... Tell me why I even had to ask for WATER. We ordered politely and were not being obnoxious. No excuse for how s*** this dining experience was.Having cute animals on the wall does not make up for the lack of service or scamming people. I hate hating on vegan restaurants but would rather people support vegan restaurants that are actually good. Skip this place.

I ordered the Mediterranean plate for $16 and was highly disappointed. The 3 tiny falafel balls were burnt. They remade them when I asked if they were supposed to look like that. The girl said she didn't know but asked them to remake them. They were worse than the first. They smelled like they were fried in dirty grease with the batter not good at all. It wasn't worth $16 with the bland rice. Never again, although the service was good. The cook with several tattos came from the back several times, staring me and my son down. I guess he was upset we didn't like the falafel.

This was a first time visit. HUGE portions. VERY tasty, so an excellent value and NO meat. If not a fan of soy, be sure to ask about which items do and don't have (none in the nut loaf-yum!). If you like gravy, ask for extra. Even my hubby the carnivore said if I could cook like this he wouldn't hesitate to make the switch (I'm workin on it!). Interesting to see lots of customers on a Monday and very diverse crowd. The chocolate chip cookie was SO buttery. Loved this place and wish I could take it with me when returning home to Wa state.

Menu is all vegan, so super easy as a vegetarian to find someone to eat! My friend ordered chili and cornbread and reported it was delicious. Her smoothie she felt was too dominated by banana. My Thanksgiving meal--nut loaf, potatoes, and veggies was delicious. Had friend tofu for an appetizer, which was done with rice flour, so probably safe for gluten-free folks. This was pretty good, but not bad. My entree was enough for 3 meals, though!! Expect a long wait, we probably waited 45 minutes for our food after ordering, but we weren't needing food immediately, so we were OK. The large patties definitely will put them behind on prepping food. We ordered several cookies to go, oatmeal pie and an everything, and the everything was very good. Oatmeal pie cookie was just ok, but huge and could be a meal in itself. Prices were higher than average for Tuscon, but it's definitely a very specialty place.

I am from out of town and I wish Lovin Spoonfuls was also in CT. I got the fried "chicken" dinner which was worth every penny. The portion was large so I had some leftovers. I couldnt believe how "homemade" everything looked and tasted. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. Then there was the main attraction, the fried vegan chicken patty. It was thick, juicy and so crunchy. This was one of my top 5 meals ever for quality and deliciousness.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to! It’s sometimes difficult to find a satisfying vegan meal at a restaurant but that’s not the case here. Everything is so tasty and in my week in Tucson, I’ve visited Lovin Spoonfuls three times ? Breakfast and lunch have been delicious!
