19 Best Vegan Restaurants in Amherst

“Found this randomly when I was traveling. Stopped because of the awesome name, and it certainly was Naan-tastic! Had a Tikka paneer rice bowl, and it was so delicious. My only complaint is you don't have locations in Massachusetts where I live ❤️ 1,000 Stars!“

“Best food ever! I keep coming back“

“The food was outstanding! Service amazing! Beautifully remodeled, my husband and I will definitely be back ????“

“Delicious Eggplant Parm but for 20 bucks or so it really should come with a salad or veggie side. Comes with an Olive Garden style bread stick. It also comes with a LOT of spaghetti!! 🍝 I got extra sauce for $3 because sauce!! I love their sauce. Sometimes I order a quart for $8 because it's delish and have it a couple of nights with my own pasta for dinner.“

“Endless fries soda refills All around great place“

“This was the best IHOP I have ever been to. The food was great, the service was friendly, and the whole experience stood out from other locations.

Everything felt fresh, well prepared, and worth coming back for. Definitely one of the best IHOP visits I have had.“

“The Tea Leaf Cafe is my favorite place to get boba.

I should note that this fact in and of itself isn't particularly impressive. I've only been to a few other boba places, and the only other place that I know the name and location of had some issues with the freshness of the foodstuffs they offered. So this place had a very low bar to clear.

That said, it cleared that bar pretty comfortably. The tea itself is good. I have no complaints about it, but also I haven't really encountered a place that does boba wrong, so it doesn't get many points for this. Where this place excels is in its atmosphere. There are black faux leather couches that you can sit on. There are tables along the side where UB students are writing their anthropology essays on their laptops. There's a bookshelf in the far corner with books that are free to take and leaf through, and board games left behind by the city's go club, which meets there every Thursday evening. There's always an interesting playlist/station on in the background, but it's rarely the same. Sometimes it's reggae, sometimes it's jazz, sometimes it's a sort of easy-listening form of pop, sometimes it's indie folk. I can't guarantee that you'll like what you hear, but I think you're always going to be okay with it.

I will levy two minor complaints, neither of which are enough to drop my rating down below 5 stars. The first is that the front door needs to be fixed somehow. The inner door doesn't automatically close, which makes the temperature buffer antechamber lose its functional purpose, and it causes the inside of the place to get a bit chilly on colder nights.

My second complaint is that the night time lighting is a little too dim for my tastes, and I imagine for the tastes of anyone who isn't there with the intention of taking a nap. The walls and ceiling of the place are already painted a dark color, so the choice of lighting makes the place pick up a bit of a cellar vibe more than a cafe vibe, and I sometimes feel my brain working more slowly than usual because of it.

But those two minor issues aside, I'm quite pleased with this place's atmosphere, staff, seating arrangements, and quality and availability of tea. Definitely check it out if you're up for some bubble tea.“

“My husband and I have always enjoyed the great food and drinks at Jazzboline, and the waitstaff consistently provides excellent service. Recently, I had the pleasure of throwing a surprise birthday party for my husband there, and I can't say enough about how helpful Mike Overdorf was! He answered all my questions and made the party planning process seamless, from selecting the drink menu to choosing the meals, even including little boxes of chocolates as a special touch. During the party, the waitstaff, Michelle and Sara, were gracious, kind, patient, and attentive throughout the celebration.“

“Heck ya baebi this place be poppin and lockin, I dig it yo“

“Bad bad experience. I was served and finished my dinner before my wife got any of what she ordered. Flagged down several people with restaurant uniform on and was totally ignored. Asked for the bill and waited ten minutes before I had to flag down a person to pay. We’ll never go back, ever!!“

“amazing food. great atmosphere and fantastic wait staff. I had the Western Cheddar omelet and it came with 3 full sized pancakes. delicious!“

“To experience with my food 18$ I not believe it“

“Our family ate dinner together on our first visit and we got to experience the karaoke room along with our meal. It was so, so fun!!! We had three small children and they loved making the hot pot and the karaoke singing. The room is large and comfortable for a large party and the staff is so kind and helpful! I would highly recommend to others and we will be back.“
