Great atmosphere, lots of vegan options and my meal was delicious. Chile-agave tofu was flavorful and cooked well.

So many vegan options clearly labeled with lots of protein!
Tofu, vegan chicken, plant protein powder, etc
Only suggestion would be to make online ordering for smoothies more customizable with the protein powder selection (the default is whey & it costs extra to add plant protein)

Nu kitchen is always a solid go-to! Has a whole vegan menu for breakfast and lunch/dinner. They also update their options frequently so it's always exciting to see what creative dishes they come up with :)

They helpfully have a vegan section on the menu. We had the vegan scrambled tofu and edamame dumplings for breakfast. The food was fine. The place was a little noisy,

i am always enjoying the food here, however i will say it is disappointing to see only some items are dairy/egg free. the vegan menu has been improved in the last year or so - namely, they’ve put everything that’s vegan on one section of the menu so it is MUCH easier to find!

This place is awesome! We had tofu scramble sandwiches on sourdough and an açaí bowl. Everything was delicious, and there were many more things on the menu that sounded terrific. Coffee and smoothie were great too.

You can order from a kook or using a QR code at your table. Extensive vegan options. Highly recommend the Smurf Juice, btw! The food is very minimally processed and all super fresh ingredients

This place is a joke. I dont know what clown runs it. But everytime theres something on the menu that people like they remove it. First it was the brussle sprouts they removed it because the neighbor at the Newbury port location didnt like the smell of it cooking so they removed it from the worcester location "so their menus matched" so they could be like every other corporate commerical soulless eatery.....then it was the applejuice they switched that and it tasted like sour apple juice and they actually switched it back then it was the peanutbutter.....then they stopped making the cinnamon scones now they killed the turkey burger and the turkey avacado panini.....what a joke. Im over it. On to the next one.

Food was great, light and filling! Latte is on point and staff was super nice. The large sky light above the dining area was my favorite as it kept a nice warm feeling on the searing area even as it starts to get chilly out.

We used to love going there for the Beyond Burger with the grilled pineapple slice and spicy sauce. But they changed the menu and eliminated it so we no longer go there.
NU Kitchen is incredible! The service is great and the food and coffee is always fresh and tasty! I love stopping in anytime I visit my hairdresser on Chandler St.

I visit once a week and it seems they never get a simple coffee order right. Takes so long to get my coffee have even been forgotten today the cashier could not even get a signature drink order straight kept forgetting the order had to say it 5 times and she still managed to mess it up. Disappointed at best. Sad because I really like the coffee too.

Good food, atmosphere, respectable staff, all around decent place, only qualm would be $$ it's over priced. Not as bad as similar places in Boston. But, on par.
Place is always packed with college kids / hipster types.
