45 Best Vegan Restaurants in Newark

“I came to Metro Diner this morning off the humbug. I was starving & was craving some chicken & waffles from somewhere close in the area. Surprisingly the chicken was very seasoned and crispy. The waffles were also very tasty and soft. The strawberry butter mixed with their signature hot sauce was also pretty good. Alicia was my server. She was such a doll :) Her knowledge of the menu is impeccable and she took very good care of me. If you are in the Newark area and would like some tasty and quick diner food, go there & ask for Alicia <3 Thanks Alicia will be there again real soon !“

“Ole Tapas has come to our event for two years in a row and they are definitely a favorite. The food is always prepared to perfection and the staff is always so kind and professional. I personally always recommend the street tacos. We are so grateful for the hard workers over at Ole Tapas.“

“sandwiches are so good! I haven't gotten the pho YET! but i have only heard great things. Van is so friendly! She appreciates her costumers, and she will make sure you know it. This is a small business that takes pride in what they serve, and you can tell by the taste and hospitality.“

“So I had never tried an Açaí Bowl, but my mini me Kalena raves about them. Last week she introduced me to the one of the most incredible food experiences. If you like them or if you want to try it, run don’t walk ( or drive quickly 😊) to The Juice Joint 2.0!!! The food is great, the owner and her staff are amazing and the atmosphere👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“The 🌶️ ramen…my fav!! Delicious!“

“I've been there four times, 2x Lunch, 2x Dinner. Food, Ambiance, Service, each somewhere between Very Good and Excellent.“

“My husband and I have been coming to Chiwa Bistro since our first date in 2017. This place has always been a cozy spot for us. The food is OUTSTANDING. Dieu is an amazing server, we request him every time, and he takes care of us. He will always ask how we are doing with casual chatter. We’ve eaten just about everything on the menu at least once and loved it. I would definitely recommend coming here!“

“Everything on the menu is worth it. It’s so good! From the food, to the drinks, to the service!“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“Just found out about this place a month or so ago and got to say they are awesome. Like Pho? Like Sandwiches? They got you! Pho Sandwich is awesome! All the flavors, but no soup. And the roll they use. Toasted goodness. Mmmm. Wish I lived closer.“

“Yum!!! 3 roll special The house bread was to die for Love the lighting and atmosphere Will be back for sure!“

“We’re frequent customers at the Montvale, New Jersey, store, but this was our first visit to the Christiana (Delaware) First Watch. Spectacular food and spectacular hospitality from our server, Vanessa! I always get the ‘Traditional’ breakfast and a blueberry pancake. So yummy! My wife loved her ‘Farmhouse Skillet Scramble’! Hope we see you and your friends again, Vanessa! - Jim & Laurel Lambert“

“We've now had Viva Vegan make at least half a dozen custom cakes for us over the last couple of years, and they've all been excellent! The head baker/owner Evangelina can handle any dietary constraints. One of our recent cakes had to be gluten free and also avoid a few other common ingredients, and the cake was still very fluffy and moist and delicious... a big hit among all of our guests! She uses organic and high quality ingredients as well, which no other bakery in town does that I know of.“

“The place is clean with a friendly and nice atmosphere! My son and I had Oxtail Pho and Fried Calamari for dinner. It was quite delicious, and we did not have to wait long for the foods to be served. Excellent service! Good reasonable price for the quality of foods! The good nature and friendly chef also was outside at our table greeting us and brought out a good pot of hot tea to start. I had a chance of speaking Vietnamese with him! I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family here!“

“I went with my group on a Thursday which was a very light evening which allowed my group to enjoy our whole dining experience. Our server had time to explain the menu and make recommendation to our group that included a 4 year old. Why is this relevant? Because, she gave her the same respectful service as she did the adults. Thank you. Now let's get to the food. I had the Chicken Picatta. I had to take the picture because at the first bite I new it was about to be destroyed. I left nothing on the plate. The Impossible Sloppy for those who need a vegan option also got a thumbs up. The food comes out hot hot! No one complained! I will be back the next time I am in Delaware.“

“Great location and great food.“

“Great bowls and burritos! Well above the chain options. Food is fresh, delicious and place is clean and customer service friendly.“

“This is only the second time I've been to Home Grown Cafe and I have nothing but good things to say. I was celebrating one of my good friends birthday and this was his restaurant of choice. A good choice I may add. The restaurant was pretty slow at the time of our visit, but the staff were there to work. The food was hot and delicious and the place was clean. Keep up the good work!!“

“It was a very hectic rush on Saturday morning but we got sat pretty quick when using the wait list and our server was phenomenal, I think her name was Kathy or Cassie I’m not too sure we she was amazing and checked and made sure we were comfortable :)“

“My family and I tried this place recently, and we all had a great experience. The pizza was absolutely delicious, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt authentic and comfortable.

The next day I went back about 30 minutes before closing to grab a pizza to go. They were already mopping the floors and getting ready to close, but no one acted bothered that I came in. They were just as friendly as the day before, and the pizza was just as good.

It’s clear they care about both their food and their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for great Italian pizza.“

“Love this place! Food is fresh and delicious! ♥️“

“Very good soups, sandwiches and more! Yuuuuuuuumy!“

“Such a charming place!
The food is delicious. The prices are great.
The staff is amazing. My waitress was a nice local girl. She was so sweet and kind. She made it feel like I was one of the family.
I got the “Little bug breakfast” with blueberry pancakes, a fried egg, and bacon. Delightfully full afterward“

“I didn’t just grab vegan chocolate at 67 Cafe — I grabbed a whole experience. After snagging a delicious vegan chocolate bar from the neighboring Newark Natural Foods, I wandered into 67 Cafe, found myself a super comfy chair, and set up shop to study something a little niche: autonomous vehicle prompt engineering (yeah, it’s as futuristic as it sounds).

The atmosphere here is perfect for focus — relaxed, welcoming, and with that kind of low hum that makes you feel like you’re part of a quiet but thriving community. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Raina, who was working the counter when I came in and whom I rewarded a decent tip to. Friendly, efficient, and just genuinely good energy — exactly the kind of person you want as the face of a neighborhood spot.

Whether you’re looking for a place to sip, snack, or deep-dive into a cutting-edge study session, 67 Cafe has you covered. I’ll absolutely be back — probably with another vegan treat in one hand and a laptop full of AI prompts in the other. 🚀🍫“

“Love this place. Always good. Friendly staff. Can’t go wrong!“

“Great menu options. Always fresh and delicious. Great service too.“

“A great venue, not far from the UD campus right on the river. Good food at decent prices. Their upstairs venue space is awesome. We are there monthly for the Vanguard Event and they go out of their way with custom drinks and great service. 10/10 would recommend!“

“We stopped in to Two Stones Pub at Kennett Sq after visiting Longwood Gardens. What a wonderful experience! The service was friendly and helpful and the food and craft beers were exceptional! The mushroom soup was the best we've ever had. Wish you had a location in Ft Myers FL!!! Thanks again!“

“Tonight’s visit was very nice. Our server made our meal enjoyable. Prompt, professional and she enjoyed our cheese jokes. Thank you for a wonderful dinner“

“Had such a great experience at honeygrow! The food was fresh, delicious, and came out perfectly. Burke and Catherine were both amazing. Super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. First time here so I was unsure how everything worked. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Absolutely delicious! 😊 Everything was loaded with flavor- the macs, the sandwiches, the burgers“

“Enjoyed my birthday tonight with family and friends. Grew up in Newark and have never eaten here. It did not disappoint. Love the history and the ambience. Our waitress, Piper was phenomenal, .... friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. The food was perfectly portioned and all tasted great. The soft pretzel was wonderful. The Brussel Sprouts was excellent and the short ribs were tender and flavorful. The apple cider mule was a perfect drink to top it all off.“

“Marlin was hands down the best waiter I’ve ever had! He was so friendly and helpful, and somehow kept our drinks filled before we even realized they were running low. The food was amazing, the drinks were strong, and the whole experience was exactly what we needed. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great service! Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“Their fresh baked pitta bread is unbeatable and made with traditional minimum ingredients and not full of modern day carcinogens which are being put in breads these days . Plenty of free parking and their shop is packed with middle eastern products. They are sell fresh meat from their counter at the back part of the store. Hardworking family business and often they are in the kitchen working on their bread making so don’t panic if you don’t see anyone serving . Very decent guy who serves in the shop and very friendly.“

“For a Coffee Shop to too regularly serve luke-warm 'regular' coffee is disappointing. How hard can it be? Latte's etc are fine. Food menu has improved of late.“

“I dream about your nachos 🤤“

“Toda la comida estaba muy rica. La verdad es que me fascinan los mariscos y nunca había encontrado un restaurante como este que los preparara tan deliciosos. También quiero destacar a la mesera Talía, que es muy buena atendiendo y muy atenta con los clientes.“

“Caffe Gelato was WONDERFUL for catering a professional lunch. The entire process was smooth with the help of their team - from a last minute order, dietary restrictions, response time over the weekend, and delivery. 100% would recommend for any of your catering needs in DE.“

“went sunday for brunch! the food was really good, but that espresso martini was amazing! it was really busy but our server Ashley was awesome!“

“Prices are reasonable but the service is very poor to the point of almost being non existent!“

“What an amazing experience! Hats off to Sheldon S. For making our night. Hubby and I saw the news with the owner sharing the host of Insomnia Cookies that we took a drive to Newark DE from Middletown. Sheldon made us truly feel welcomed . He was over the top with kindness and truly seems to love his job and had a lot of respect for the owner. Thanks for being so good at your job Sheldon and keep up the good job.“

“I always ask for extra lettuce, in my bowl, cause I don’t get a lot of toppings. They put maybe a mouthful more. Wow, can you spare it.. I only get meat, bacon, rice. Plus not a single person in that place knew how to fix the soda machine. All of a sudden it just stopped, so as far as I’m concerned, they owe me a lg soda.“
