50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Merchantville

“Hands down my favorite spot to grab lunch in Merchantville! Their sandwiches and veggie bean chili is phenomenal. Love that they’re eco friendly by packaging with paper products and compostable utensils. Highly recommend!“

“We tried the chocolate chip cookie skillet with vanilla ice cream and it was delicious! We also tried a peanut butter cookie skillet with the salted caramel ice cream and that combination was an absolute Star ⭐️ The cookies are freshly baked to order, Highly recommend! If you are in the Merchantville area, definitely check these guys out. The shop is clean and family friendly! 😃“

“I thoroughly enjoyed the food. You must try the Happy Happy Drunk.“

“Excellent dinner tonight! Something for even our pickiest eaters. We’ll be back soon.“

“Not sure what all of these bad reviews are about. I'm somewhat new to South Jersey, and have tried four different Indian restaurants, and this one is the best. Good flavor and heat (kids got mild, I got hot - both were as expected), decent portion size, and the best prices. I ordered take out, and while the dining room was small, everything looked very clean. I've ordered from here 3 times now and each time was consistent. Keep up the great work!“

“After discovering the restaurant in March, I had to return for my birthday in August. So my husband and I made the 3-hour drive to Philly just so I could eat at Monster Vegan twice in one day. The food was consistently delicious. I could eat the eggrolls and tacos every day. The service was wonderfully inviting. The vibe is great during the day but the evening totally elevates it. I’m also thankful for their mocktail menu is just as creative as the rest of their drink menu and not just a spirit-free mojito. It’s my favorite restaurant and will gladly make the trek to Philly again just to visit Monster Vegan.“

“This market was such an experience! I highly recommend. The food was beyond amazing we had, the pretzels, Cajun food, cheese steaks, oysters and more. The people were friendly and the atmosphere was great.“

“Pietramala is a gem for vegan dining, offering thoughtfully crafted dishes that feel both elevated and comforting. The menu changes seasonally, but staples like their rich and flavorful mushroom pâté and the crispy yet delicate polenta sticks are always standouts. The handmade pasta dishes are a must-try, often featuring inventive sauces that highlight fresh, high-quality ingredients. And don’t skip dessert—their plant-based takes on classic sweets are just as satisfying as their savory plates.

The cozy, intimate atmosphere adds to the experience, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. Whether you’re vegan or not, Pietramala delivers an exceptional dining experience worth seeking out.“

“I am still glowing in the warmth of the chic and cozy atmosphere, incredible service, and unbelievably delicious meal I had this evening. This was my first visit to Miss Rachel’s Pantry, and it was outstanding from start (delectable biscuits) to finish (pineapple upside down cake with coconut ice cream). While I regularly enjoy vegetarian cuisine, I’m an omnivore and haven’t had much experience with vegan food. Chef Rachel and team’s vegan cuisine was beyond my wildest imagination — a visual and culinary work of art. So delicious- I will definitely be back again soon and regularly! Don’t hesitate! Book that reservation and let your taste buds dance with delight!“

“Fantastic menu; great atmosphere; friendly efficient staff; loved it.“

“The breakfast burrito was so good“

“An amazing meal! So flavorful! Thank you so much!!!“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“All the food is super fresh and plant based!! I am a big fan of the classic smoothie bowl but I would definitely recommend the build your own salad bowl to customize whatever you are craving. I will definitely be back to try some of their desserts and cold pressed juices.“

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back“

“Nile Cafe in Germantown offers affordable vegan Soul food with big flavor! The modest interior is lightly decorated and sparsely seated. There were maybe six two-chaired tables. Outdoor seating options are available. Walking in, locals cycled in, ordered, waited, and cycled out constantly. All the food, served in to-go containers, was fantastic. The duck in gravy and the jerk chicken stole the show before we had the dessert. After being impressed, we dug deeper into the menu. The coffee ice cream was super creamy and the cake was moist and decadent. Nile Cafe is special. Although there isn't much on the menu we didn't try, the food was definitely worth a revisit. I might just stop in for dessert when I'm around.“

“The food was so freaking good!! I’ve wanted to try this for a long time and I happened to be right outside so I picked Up a breakfast bowl.. I had To run errands so by the time I got Home to eat it I had To heat it up and IT WAS STILL SO GOOD!!! I’m not even GF or vegan but heck I could be if food always tastes like this :-) Also, it’s a black owned (and obviously a LGBT supportive) small business. 10/10 recommend.“

“Nestled inside Reading Terminal Market, it is necessary to navigate through aisles of carnivorous atrocities by other vendors, (be prepared to cover your eyes and hold your breath) to arrive at LUHV's outpost. The venue itself is underwhelming, as is the menu, but sufficient enough to satisfy any hungry Vegan, assuming one is not strictly adhering to the healthiest options on a whole-food, SOS-free regimen ::sigh:: And so, I opted to try the "Lox (made from beets) and cream cheese (tofu) sandwich (everything bagel) which in all honesty, tasted just fine. I guess it just doesn't hit the same way as on previous visits to Philadelphia as a full-fledged Vegan foodie from 2016-2020. Now, the way a meal makes me FEEL is just as, if not more important than how it tastes. I can't wait to get back home, to my daily salads and smoothies.“

“Tony and Patricia have created an awesome restaurant. The atmosphere of friendliness in the dining room is unmatched, and the food is fabulous. Go for the shared tasting menu and make the most of all the restaurant offers. And COME HUNGRY! It’s especially fun to bring friends along to enjoy the entire experience!“

“Fabulous on all levels! What a treat!“

“Short Rib - Take out, grill yourself. Super easy and delicious.“

“Charlie’s is always a great experience - amazing vegan food options! Absolutely love the food and drinks! 12 out of 10! SLAYYY! 🙌🏼“

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.“

“We came across this place while we were in Philly last month,July. We were looking for a place to dine. It was our first time with Mediterranean cuisine. Positive ambience as soon as we walk in, our server ‘s name ELIF ( hope i remember it right)guided as through with menu selection and showed the best costumer service . I appreciated the complimentary bread and the hummus while waiting for the entree.I love the taste of it as freshly baked from the oven. Food portions are just right. The price is also decent. We concluded with a Turkey tea…it amazingly taste good. Will definitely visit this place again….to Elif,thank you very much.“

“homemade delicious healthy and friendly staff“

“I think I probably have had just about everything on your menu, and I loved everything. I also like that Stina is not pretentious.“

“Good vegan options, definitely transcends the genre while still harkening back to 1990s health food vibes. I enjoy a spot like this - reminds me of LA in the early 2000s. Very charming interiors and food. The total cost was a bit higher than I anticipated, though.“

“It was a really nice vibe and great food“

“Great food, good service and reasonable prices“

“Dottie’s Donuts are the best donuts in Philadelphia. I’ll take the Pepsi Challenge to the crap they sell at Dunkin and I’d pick Dottie’s every single time. They’re quite possibly the greatest donuts in the state of Pennsylvania, which would immediately place them in the state national treasure donut contest. And once Florida is disqualified for not wearing mask, Dottie’s would see the highest standings in the runnin' for greatest donuts, worldwide. Yeah. That good.“

“As a travel agent, food is important to me. I not only book for my clients, but I also make restaurant recommendations and WOW!!!!!! This place is it 😍😍😍 I took many photos last night of the food, the atmosphere felt as though I was not in Philadelphia, but far away on a perfect vacation dining at an amazing restaurant. I'm going to post my photos on my business page, people, if you want Greek food, THIS IS YOUR PLACE ☺️ Thank you for a wonderful hospitality and an amazing time my fiance and I will never forget.“

“Everything was perfect from the moment I entered. The front host greeted me with a welcoming smile. I dined at the bar. My bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through a beautiful meal. Service was top notch. The team work was beautiful to watch. Great attention to detail. The food absolutely amazing. 5 stars“

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“Super friendly staff with food for every palate.“

“1st time visiting, but definitely not the last! Cozy, quiet atmosphere with plenty of seating. Owner/Hostess very sweet and inviting. Food was delicious and proportions were generous. New to raw foods, but this will be a staple on my list! 5-star!“

“The food was simply delicious. We had seen how well-reviewed this restaurant was and so we had high expectations coming here, yet we were still completely blown away by the quality of the food.

The shawarma had a perfectly flaky crust and the chicken was perfectly cooked.

The hospitality was also great. You can believe the hype. This place is a gem of Philadelphia.“

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.“

“Awesome food and excellent service I had a pasta night special!
kale & ricotta gnocchi, marinara, fennel, serrano jamon, broccolini comes w/ garlic bread & side caesar salad which was amazing. I highly recommend this place“

“I've had two different meals here so far, and both were very good. I guess my only semi-gripe would be wanting more sauce. The staff that was present at both visits have been amazing, as well. Vegan and gluten-free, friendly to the max.

Vegetarian options: Vegan kitchen with no meat or animal products used.

Dietary restrictions: Everything is clearly labeled, and substitutions are available in any item.

Parking: Both times I went, there was plenty of available parking close by the entrances.“

“This is my new favorite spot! The food is incredible and the drink menu is on point!“

“I cannot express how very happy and greatful I am that Nano built this mecca for Tex-Mex breakfast taco lovers in Philly!!!! I was born and raised in Austin and on tacos just like the ones I found here. Vegetarian options are available and delicious!“

“I love this place, great food, lots of flavors to explore. wonderful staff, and seeing the owner front of house and behind the line was a beautiful experience 🦋. I cannot wait to come back and eat here again! 😀 Traveled from Utah to come eat here! (plus visit my son, that surprised us with reservations) a must visit if you get a chance to go! 🦋“

“I had snapper soup there. It was an 11 out of a possible 10. My wife had New England clam chowder it is (her score system) a 10 out of 10. Best ever. Unfortunately, they do not currently have snapper soup. Missing the old Bookbinder too. Signed, Old Philadelphia natives.“

“The vibe burger is phenomenal the smoothies & cold pressed juice are some of the best I've had!“

“The staff is amazing, so friendly and welcoming. It was our first visit, and they were not rushing us to place our order. Expect to wait during peak time. BUT Worth the wait, coffee ☕️ so yummy!!“
