Wish they let their customers who bought gift cards know they were closing? Will there be a new location?

Very good and nice staff. Have had most things on the menu. Only once out of dozens ofsmoothies had a warm and soupy Nuts and Jolts. Everything else has always been great.

This is a really good place to try new things. My daughter and husband are vegetarian and vegan. We find very little places that have good vegetarian and vegan food options. It was very cute and clean we loved that they had superfoods in every item.portions were decent and ingredients were fresh. I liked that kale salad was all leafs and not any stems

The smoothies are inedible. I keep giving them second chances but keep being let down.

Started an elimination diet based on my doctors guidance and The Village Den has been so helpful. The restaurant caters to numerous dietary restrictions which are clearly labeled on the menu. I've tried the TV dinners, salmon burger and everything bagel breakfast sandwich. The portions are decently sized and food relatively tasty!

First time here. Ordered to-go. Friendly staff. Watermelon smoothie was delish, but food was burnt enough that I couldn't eat it. I was already home when I discovered it. A disappointment.UPDATE: Owner promptly rectified & I will return for a second try. Thank you.

Food with zero flavor billed as clean, take out food at sit down prices. Weird outdoor seating in the shadow of overhead construction.

Had the 'mac and cheese' which was actually turmeric cauliflower with cashew cheese! The cauliflower was really tender and tasty, although I had mixed feelings about the cashew cheese and whether or not it went with the cauliflower. It was also not even remotely close to tasting like mac and cheese, so perhaps it would be better to call it by the names of the actual ingredients.

Looking for a healthy place to eat and The Village Den never disappoints. Great value for what you get and in the pandemic everything feels safe - would recommend for sure!

Amazing food. Colorful and healthy. Great service and nice atmosphere. This is my new favorite casual cafe in the west village. Everything I ordered was great too!! Tried a side of turkey meatballs and the crunchy creamy vegan bowl. The maple spaghetti squash was AMAZING!!!! Will be back soon!!

Just had the salmon with a side of mushrooms and lentils and I have to say they were all absolutely incredible! From taste, to quality, seasoned perfectly. This will definitely be a weekly spot for me now.

Three stars? Nice try. The smoothies alone are enough to warrant a 5-rating. No complaints about the Cortado, either.

Had a great afternoon pick me up at The Village Den. Wonderful, speedy service. The gentleman who helped us was full of personality and polite. Restaurant had a delicious variety, would recommend!

I’ve only tried the smoothies here and while I would agree with anyone who said the prices here are steep, this is the only place around I can think of that can do an avocado smoothie- I’ve had a few other hard to find smoothies here and they’ve all been great. I consider this a special occasion smoothie spot ha

I first ate here while I was at st. Vincents but have kept coming here ever since. The food is wonderful, the people are great and this is a classic nyc diner. I highly recommend this place!
