50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Jersey City

“Stellar service! Will definitely be back.“

“The food quality and set menus they have are really solid for sushi and quite delicious. I feel like it gets a little pricy and that’s why I reviewed them at a 4 VS 5 stars as I know I can get equally as good of a handroll in the city for a substantial amount less, but overall this is a good staple in Jersey City. The udon and miso cod are also pretty tasty.“

“I've been here a few times now, and overall, I really like it.

Apps are good. I've had the labneh and hummus. The only complaint is that the portion is a little small. the pita, in particular, is not enough for the amount of dip on the plate.

I've also had the charred cabbage, and it was not for me. Not particularly bad, I did finish it, though aside from the charred exterior, it was basically completely raw. I wasn't expecting fully cooked, soft cabbage, but a slightly lower heat would still get a good char on the outside while at least slightly softening the inside of this large wedge of cabbage. The sauce that was drizzled on top was quite spicy and good.

The corn ribs were definitely the superior small dish compared to the cabbage, although I do think the portion is too small. I could eat roughly 500 of those little things.

I don't see it on the menu anymore, but on my first trip there, I had a fried calamari and "chorizo" sandwich. There was a slaw on there that was very tasty, and the calamari itself was cooked well and was nice and crunchy. Hated the chorizo. It tasted like a cheap Jimmy Dean frozen breakfast patty. Never had a chorizo that tasted like that in my life. I picked it off and ate the sandwich without it.

Also had the pappardelle. No complaints. Delicious. Cleaned that plate in like 5 minutes. Although once again, especially for pasta, the portion was quite small.

Lastly, for my drink, I had the Nico's Song mocktail. In my opinion, it is completely undrinkable. Even though ginger is listed as the 3rd ingredient following both beet and orange juice, it was the only thing i could taste. Way too heavy on the ginger. The server definitely saw that i had barely touched the drink but didn't ask me if I liked it. I did end up just asking her if this drink was always this gingery; she mostly ignored the question, although she was kind enough to take it off the bill.

The atmosphere here is really great & the pride flags hanging like a cute little halo over the bar makes me feel good about bringing my parter here and spending money at this business. Music is a little loud but tasteful and the table arrangement/decor is really nice. Although the last time I was here, there was a table with kids all with their shoes off & their feet on the tables.

There a lot of restaurants in JC to compete with, but I still see myself coming back here every now and again.“

“This was my second time here and it was just as good as the first! The place felt upscale, service was friendly and we were offered complimentary seconds of wine. Highly recommend the octopus pasta and Korean fried chicken. Very cute date night spot.

Will be back!“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy food!!“

“Nice outdoor patio, good food, great location.“

“This is one of the best places to have south Indian food and the restaurant is very authentic. The ambiance is very decent but the food is so good. Especially their mann soru was out of the world“

“I've been here a few times already. The vibe of the place is great, and the service is good. However the food just never hits the mark. Fries are always burnt and soggy at the same time, probably being cooked at the wrong temperature. The burgers always fall apart half way through the meal, with the buns very over-sauced to the point of being sloppy, and the patties under salted.

It really has the potential to be an awesome neighborhood spot that I go to more often, just hope they can improve the food a bit!“

“Good atmosphere and great service.“

“My girlfriends purse got robbed. Dangerous place. Don't go there. Band was awesome though“

“great food and vibe. BUT they are cheap with condiments. charges 2 bucks for extra syrup for the chicken and waffles“

“A great choice for getting some high quality Indian food in the area, especially if you'd prefer to not deal with the hustle and bustle of Little India in Journal Square.

I highly recommend ordering anything from the tandoor - the tandoori chicken was perfect! And the portions are massive. I did think many of the appetizers and main dishes were quite overpriced, however.

That said, I'd definitely come back and try the rest of the menu!“

“Absolutely lovely place, super nice crew and good food! It’s a great place in all the senses!“

“Vibes and more vibes def recommended“

“🇮🇹Lovely place, delicious food, good prices, great customer service!💚❤️“

“The food is very flavorful and delicious. There are a nice variety of meals and the delivery service is excellent.“

“Delicious vegetarian Indian bites!“

“Have been curious why this place got such high rating so I came here for a one-person brunch on Sat. They really deserve the high rating.

1) coffee: most coffee shops just provide same level coffee as Starbucks, but this place is serious about their coffee beans and provide way better coffee than a Nespresso machine or Starbucks. Def tier 1 of the coffee I’ve tried. Besides, their latte price starts at $4.xx. I’m surprised at the lower price they are offering (vs $6.xx latte elsewhere) with such high quality taste.

2) food and service: I did not get a chance to try their “hot” food as the kitchen was closed 2 mins before I ordered. However the service made the whole experience beyond expectations: a) the waitress apologized for not letting me know the kitchen was closed 2 mins earlier. She did not have to apologize at all as I literally walked in 2 or 3 mins before I ordered - no difference would have been made even if she reminded me, but I appreciated her attitude. b) I saw they have “brioche sandwich” on the menu, knowing kitchen has closed I asked if I can just get a slice of toast. They gave me an exception and allowed me to order a brioche toast, what’s surprising was they also toasted it so it’s way more presentable and tasteful as a food itself. BTW the toast tasted great. And their price is reasonable.

3) very dog friendly: from the second I walked in with my dog, he was welcomed by the waitress. During my whole visit in the coffee shop, no one ever questioned, judged or confronted me.
It’s actually not too common in JC.
I usually would be prepared to answer questions like: “is your dog a service animal? What’s the specially was he trained for? Pls keep your animal on the floor all the time and be prepared to leave if other customers complained”.
Their customers (mostly from near neighborhoods) were also super dog friendly, most of them petted him and smiled at him.

For the 3 reasons above, I will be coming back in the future.“

“Siempre que puedo lo visito, me encanta su ambiente y su comida 💕🇮🇳🇪🇨“

“I got tempeh bacon and a breakfast wrap from Subia's this morning and both were amazing. So much flavor! Even the coffee had cinnamon. My wrap was perfectly put together, not overflowing, not dry, not dripping with sauce or oils. I wish more vegan places were like Subia's - not afraid to season the food!!“

“#AmazingPizza #PortaJerseyCity 🥰“

“I've been here several times but, this was the first time I asked for veggie paella & asked them to add shrimp °•~ It was so good !!!

I also had Ceasar Salad & Shrimp Ceviche which was also good with lychee martinis 🥂.“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“Great selection of smoothies and sweet bowls! And the employee on shift this morning was an absolute delight! So kind and welcoming and accommodating. I would like to see more savory options that don’t involve fake meat or bread, but if you’re looking for a smoothie and/or a sweet bowl, can’t go wrong here. Also they do have a single occupancy bathroom for customer use!“

“wow! what a great experience... 1st time went with party of 15... spoke to viom on.phone before we went and very professional 👏. great service! food was fantastic. did not rushed! felt like family serving food! really appreciate alot 🙏🏻. thank you guus for doing awesome job and great service. it's very hard to find great service in Indian restaurants! so really truly appreciate 🙏🏻 ❤ 🙌 💗“

“You can tell the owner puts so much care and passion into the food. The atmosphere feels intimate and cozy, like a hole in the wall does. The crab cake pad Thai was particularly tasty. Delicious food at a reasonable price that is well worth the wait and patience (since the owner is both the only waiter and only chef)!“

“Healthy Delicious food at reasonable prices. Seasoning and style of vegan foods I only find here. Unique to other spots. Friendly workers, fresh food and short waiting time for the order. Woman owned 💖“

“My bro brought me the Spicy Italian home. This was the best sandwich I have had in years. Authentic tasting. The bread was on point. And that cherry pepper spread was perfetto! Fantastic work!“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

“I tasted this banana pudding today and couldn’t believe how delicious it was. It was even better than Magnolia’s which I didn’t think was possible. I tried three flavors today- the classic which was my favorite, the coquito flavor which was delicious and even had flakes of coconut in it and finally the cookies and cream which was also divine. I’m ashamed to say how many servings I had because I totally went back for a second round. This recipe is delicious! Great job to the owners!“

“Great little neighborhood spot… we watched their regulars be welcomed in with a genuine greeting and smile, and as first-timers, we were impressed with the owner’s friendliness and time spent getting to know us. Everything we ordered was fabulous… Savory comfort food and affordable. Will definitely be back to this charming restaurant next time we visit NJ. Outstanding! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“This place has long lines on sunny weekends, so I decided to try it on a weekday night. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of flavors. I tried the coconut and the pineapple. Both were good.“

“My favorite spot to work & eat in Jersey City Heights.“

“The curries are my fav! Dumplings are yum, and if you are a meat eater try Korean bbq short rib, it’s beyond! 😋“

“Love Me Casa food. Been eating their food since the start and they never disappoint. Everything has so much flavor. My favs of course are the alcapurias and the empanadas... but EVERYTHING is delicious.“

“How do I love Crema, let me count the ways … Nutella Toast, Avo Toast, Mozz Toast, Beef Empanadas, Waffles and amazing brews ☕️“

“I’ve been wanting to come here for a hot minute and am so glad I finally did. You can tell they really put in the effort to make it an authentic experience. I am Bangladeshi and was looking for some food that reminded me of home. This was exactly what I was looking for. Went for take out. Tasted just like my mother’s home cooked meals. Family run. Brought the white homie and he loved it too. It was his first time trying the cuisine and was definitely a great introduction. We split a Tehari and Goat Curry each portioned for two which was the perfect amount of food for us hefty boys. We were straight grubbin OD. Would recommend Korai Kitchen to anybody wanting to try some real authentic Bangladeshi food. Very good. Onek Bhalo.“

“Love love love the food Luney makes! My kids love to eat her food a lot. It smells so good that sometimes I will try it too. Workdays become more manageable that I know whenever my kids want to eat, I have something delicious for them with just 30 seconds of microwave.“

“This place checks all the boxes. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Just had the Italiano and the cheesesteak and holy WOW! two of the best sandwiches I ever had. Amazing food, very clean place, exceptionally friendly service, we will be back for more and more! Our new favorite sandwich shop!“

“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!“

“I love Cali Shakes and everything is always delicious. Staff is friendly, the place is clean and fruits are fresh. I recently tried their protein shakes which I love BUT I noticed they do not put the full serving in the protein shakes. The protein serving size is 2 scoops. They only give you one scoop and I was asked to pay for the second scoop. Shouldn’t a protein shake come with the full serving?
I’m hoping they can include that in the near future.“

“Jersey & Co. is without a doubt the best gelato shop around. Absolutely delicious. The owner Peter studied gelato making in Italy and clearly has a passion and talent for creating incredible flavors. Some of our favorites are the Amarena, Cookies&Cream, Mango, and White Coffee flavors.

My fiancèe and I happened to meet Peter at an event and once we tried his gelato, we knew we had to have Jersey & Co. at our wedding. They not only knocked it out of the park with a delicious assortment of gelatos, but they also took such great care of us as people, going the extra mile every step of the way to make our wedding as special as possible. They even made a new gelato flavor just for our wedding!

We had previously done a ton of research of other shops in the NY/NJ area and everywhere we looked, either the product was subpar or the correspondence left us feeling unsure. But Jersey&co is gem of a local business that stands out for not only creating an outstanding product but also caring deeply for their customers. 10/10 would recommend to anybody who's looking for dessert catering for an event/wedding or simply wants a taste of some excellent gelato.“

“We hired Casa Cubana to cater my Goddaughters Sweet 16th last month. No hassle putting together a great menu for a very large family / friends' event. With constant changes on my end, the staff was always a phone call away, very courteous offering excellent advice to ensure the perfect feast. Oh and the food was amazing.“
