Fun restaurant with nice assortment of menu choices. Small building footprint equals crowded seating. Service was very friendly however, we were seated for 10 minutes before anyone came to table with water and it was another 5-10 minutes before orders were taken (therefore 4 stars).

This Jersey girl and her family loved pop over eatery! Three generations all give this lovely place 5 stars 🌟! It's clean, food is delicious and staff is kind and friendly. Our server was Julia and she made this sleep deprived mama smile with her kind and courteous demeanor. Thank you Julia. We will definitely stop by again when visiting!

What a great find in Mystic. I absolutely love this restaurant for my family. They have some of the best waffles ever! And....they are gluten free! So many options for people with different dietary needs. I get the chicken and waffles everytime I come. Their drinks are great and every month has different specials themed to that month. Service is fast which is great with little kids in tow. This is my favorite restaurant in Mystic no contest. Prices are reasonable too.

The food is delicious with dairy free, gluten free options. The staff are not very nice or friendly. The place is very small and packed. There are no tables for more than 4 people. Outdoor sitting is full of bees flying around and sitting on your food. It's only worth it if you have food sensitovities/allergies. Indoor/outdoor sitting was not available for party of 7, so we had to take it to go.

We were passing through Mystic quick with some friends and needed a quick vegan bite. My husband and I both got the Trendy Vegan sandwich. It hit the spot for something quick. A friend got the chia oat pudding bowl and said it was very good. The staff was very friendly and they were dog friendly inside too (with small enough dogs if you ask :))
So good that we went twice while in Mystic. I had the Belgian waffles on the first day and the trendy vegan the second. Not a ton of options but what they had was delicious. Milk substituted for coffee are also available.

You might feel disoriented the first time you visit. Its décor is that of a fast food franchise, yet Pop Over has only one sister site. As at a fast food joint, you might proceed to the counter to place your order, yet this café offers full service. After you sit down and look over the menu, as a vegetarian or vegan you will feel right at home here.
This new eatery clearly identifies with “V” the vegan (not just vegetarian) items on its menu. Thank you, POE, for making life easy for us finicky vegans. Do note that while the V appears on some menu items, other vegan items sometimes puzzlingly lack V. Instead, the word Vegan is either included in the descriptions or listed right in their names. For example, no V for the outstanding Vegan Power [Salad] Bowl.
The salad bowls are fresh and nourishing, whose quality surpasses those served at nearby Mystic Salad Co, so the salads alone provide incentive for dining here. My first time here, my sweetheart who is vegan raved over the Vegan Mediterranean [salad] Bowl. On my second visit, I enjoyed the Vegan Power [salad] Bowl, while my omnivore friend equally enjoyed the Southwest [salad] Bowl. While the Southwest comes with cow cheese, vegans can omit that or substitute with Green Goddess Dressing.
Other dishes labeled V are sauteed or fried. The Fried Brussels [sprouts] are fried as advertised, but crisp, so not dripping with oil. Usually I shun fried foods, but my fondness for the Brussels sprouts at two all-vegan café’s prompted me to order it both times here. Beware its overload of salt. It totally ruined this dish my first time. On my second visit, I ordered it without any salt, and savored it.
In the excellent Roasted Veggie Hash, the veggies are sauteed, not fried, and served elegantly in the iron skillet in which they were cooked.
The Buffalo Cauliflower is roasted, not fried, but too sugary and spicey-hot for my tender palate. My girlfriend, however, liked it.
My first time, the Sweet Potato Burger was an amorphous glop of oily mush plopped atop a spongiform bun. On my second visit, I had it as a side without the bun, and it was much improved, crisp and unified.
POE’s interior is bright and clean. When crowded indoors during lunchtime, two outdoor picnic tables perched on an incline beckon hardy folks, who can eat while laughing at drivers in the long line of stalled cars stuck in their own self-inflicted traffic jam while waiting for the upraised drawbridge to lower again. Only in Mystic!
