Absolutely a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere, a calm vibe. We got to got to chat with the co owner Brad, who is lovely. Such a great dining experience, can wait to return for the items that we didnât have room to try. (But the plant based empanadas were an instant family favorite!)
Kid-friendliness: Our kids enjoyed the experience and a couple with a baby were wrapping their meal when we got there.
Handsome looking interior, kind waiter, different menu (not only like always the same stuff) and of course the food is yummi. Will return!

Overcharged for side salads that were supposed to be free with the burger. Did not pick up my calls or respond to my voicemail after the fact.

Iâve been trying more vegan spots lately and this one is top tier. Now, the menu is only a QR code so please come with your phone charged. Otherwise, great vibe, good quality is 10/10. This isnât a vegan restaurant that tries to make vegan food taste like actual meat dishes so donât come with that expectation.
The food comes hot and highly recommend the pesto and mushroom burger. If youâre a lover of tea, the loose leaf selection is really good. I even took some home.

The shawarma is actually pretty good, but everything else was meh. And itâs overpriced.

Great food, the lumpia really hits the flavor and texture⊠Reminds me of my childhood the desserts are solid as well⊠Iâve also had the fish and chips, the loki burger- meatball parm All satisfying - classic interpretations of comfort food staff is friendly, the owner very welcoming. Iâve been several times, brought dates, brought friends, always a crowd pleaser.
Gaia & Loki â A Revelation in Plant-Based Dining
If thereâs one thing Jersey City has never lacked, itâs gritâa city alive with immigrant soul and a dash of unapologetic charm. Gaia & Loki doesnât just fit here; it thrives. This unassuming plant-based haven on Grove Street doesnât scream for your attention, but it doesnât need to. The food does all the talking.
Letâs start with the meatball sub, because once you taste it, youâll question why meatballs ever needed meat in the first place. A chewy, golden-crusted baguette cradles a perfect harmony of texture and flavor. The âmeatballs,â impossibly tender yet robust, dance in the Gaia sauceâa deeply complex marinara with just the right hint of sweetness and heat. Itâs the kind of sauce that takes hours to coax out its soul, and when you taste it, youâll know it was worth every second.
And then there are the mocktails. These arenât your run-of-the-mill, sugary afterthoughts. Theyâre vibrant, complex, and crafted with the same care and intention as a fine cocktail. The âUrban Alchemistâ blends tart citrus with herbal undertones, while the âGreen Revivalâ hints at a garden party with every sip. Pair one with your meal, and youâll forget that alcohol was ever part of the equation.
Gaia & Loki isnât trying to convince you that plant-based dining is betterâitâs showing you it can be just as indulgent, soulful, and memorable as anything youâve ever had. If you come for one thing, make it that meatball sub. But trust me: youâll stay for everything else.
Itâs places like this that remind us food doesnât need pretense to be extraordinaryâit just needs care, respect, and a little bit of love. Gaia & Loki has it in spades. Jersey City, youâve got a gem here. Donât squander it.

My mom and I came here for brunch and absolutely loved the ambiance. We had the burgers, sweet potatoes fries and a side salad. We also tried one of the tea options. This was such a relaxing experience after a morning of running errands.
The food was delicious, and the service from Tyler was great! He knew all the best things to try on the menu. This is our new go to brunch spot in the area!

My friend and I were made to feel very welcome. The whole cart is vegan which pleases! We loved the fish burger and it was the best fried onions of my life, however we didn't really appreciate the waffle which was very consistent and for me it lacked taste and flexibility (afterwards I'm used to waffles Belgian, little European that I am, so there you go)

The Pasta had hair in it, and to our surprise, when we brought it to the managerâs attention, he suggested it might have been ours simply because we are a group of women. This was the first time Iâve ever had to argue with a restaurant manager that the hair in the food didnât belong to us. It was incredibly frustrating, and this kind of treatment is unacceptable. It reflects very poorly on the restaurantâs customer service, and we will not be returning.
