Amazing vegan options. Location is small with outdoor seating in the summer. Everything was fresh so it took a bit long to get food but it was worth the wait . Will be returning

This place is such a special gem. I absolutely love it here and always make sure I stop by when I'm in Kingston. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is beautiful, and owners and staff are so nice.

Amazing service and food. Came here for lunch on a Saturday and the place is SO cute, welcoming, and clean. I loved the burger, fries, beignets, cookies, and 2 delicious lollipop candy with lions mane! Fries especially were amazing crispy to perfection. The owner was extremely kind and knowledgeable! Great experience and the food was delicious. I look forward to going back!

If you're on a diet, don't go here- everything is amazing! We had the breakfast sandwich, the cheeseburger with fries, and the beignets! Everything is vegan and the owner/chef is SO friendly!Vegetarian options: Vegetarians that are used to real cheese and eggs will be SO surprised by how yummy the breakfast sandwich is! I ended up buying a second one!

I came to this cafe because my brother is vegan, I am not. Although I am not vegan, the food was delicious!!! The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this cafe.Vegetarian options: Everything on the menu is vegan.Kid-friendliness: The owner has great kid options.

You'll find the Secret Vegan Cafe in a small building adorned with mushrooms outside and within. The owner warmly greeted us and told my nieces to each grab a holiday gift bag with a toy and a small board game inside. She explained that the other person who worked there wasn't in today, but dispite this, our food arrived quickly. The cheeseburgers were amazing when paired with the huge variety of sauces that lined the counter, including chili mango and truffle. The fries were soft with just a little crispiness, which is preferred for me since I find that many restaurants overcook their fries. The empañadas were a little on the small side and slightly too crispy on the outside, but the cheesy inside and mushrooms made it all worth it, especially when dipped in the delicious sauces, and two are included. The smoothie was sweet and delicious. Not too thin and not so thick that I had trouble getting it through the compostable (but very usable) straw. I hadn't had a beignet before, but it was a pillowy treat so soft inside. The very friendly owner checked in with us several times and made sure everything was perfect. My only regret is that they were out of apple pie, explaining that they were usually called in ahead of time with the order. My tip: call your order in ahead of time so that they have some time to prepare it for you, especially if you want the pie. This is a small business so I'm sure it will help them. Also keep in mind that seating is limited to three small tables that each seat 2-3, so if you're with a large group then consider picking up your food rather than dining in.

The sweetest staff and some really solid food, vegan or otherwise. They flip a mean burger here and, in a world that often underdeliver on fries, Secret Vegan comes through with great crispy hot fries. Their breakfast sandwich is tasty and filling. Their salad is diverse and enjoyable. I wonder if they still have this great seaweed based burger I tried there once? Beignets are a fun treat and they do a mean hot cocoa. I recommend this place!

What an amazing welcome and overall engagement of customer by the owner, Kim and Chef Tiarra. The beignets were crunchy and tasty. We had the empanadas, the breakfast sandwich and kelp burger with fries. Each item was unique and tasted good. Too bad we did not take photos of everything. Will definitely come back.

Very friendly staff! The nuggets are a must have. And the burger is exceptional, as well. (Not just your everyday vegan burger.) All around great experience.
What an absolute treasure! I'm not even a vegan, but the empanada was absolutely delicious. The vibe is chill and the genuine warmth afforded to my autistic adult son was the (vegan of course) icing on the cake! (He also enjoyed the empanada, BTW)

Love that everything is vegan. We had pancakes, empanadas, beignets, fries, and the breakfast sandwich. EVERYTHING was delicious. It was so good, we ended up ordering an extra breakfast sandwich. The staff was super welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back! If you are in the Woodstock/Kingston area, it is definitely worth going!

YOUR SECRET IS NOT SAFE WITH ME!!I hope the secret is out real soon and Secret Vegan in Kingston, NY, will succeed beyond measure. The food is amazing. I am in awe over the awesome hospitality, the quality of the food, the quaintness of the inside and the overall flavor of everything. This is my new go to when I am in Kingston. The breakfast sandwich was amazing, especially with the truff hot sauce and the apple pie was straight out of the oven (the best I have eaten). The owners are beautiful on the outside and inside. I could go on an on about this gem. There is outside seating and plenty of parking. Whether you are vegan or a meat eater, you will enjoy this I guarantee or your meal is on me ( see you there on my next visit).Your body will thank you for introducing it to healthy nutrition that taste amazing. Enjoy!!!!

Went to this place for the first time this morning. I was a little skeptical as I am not vegan but the food was incredibly good! I really like the breakfast sandwich and my daughter, who is a picky eater, really liked her kids meal which came with a toy - a pretty awesome touch!I look forward to going back soon :)
