So often vegan fare has lackluster taste and texture. Standout here was the textures - loaded broccoli with tempeh bacon bits hit all the right notes. Chickn on waffles were crispy/crunchy nuggety without feeling processed. Chocolate pie dessert - I forget name - but layers of fluffy chocolaty goodness on crispy crust. Worth the trip!

Delicious vegan food from full and varied menu. Attentive to food allergies. There is entertainment at times in a great atmosphere. Appetizer of buffalo cauliflower with delicious aioli. Main dish vegan chicken and waffles. Served with real maple syrup. Couldn’t get enough.

Overpriced, once the food cools off a little bit, it seemed to start taking on some other kind of look and taste. Yuck. I guess vegan food is not for me..

Nice place, cool vibe. The food is where the disappointment comes. I ordered a Waffle they lied about having maple syrup. U can taste the distinct difference between real maple syrup and syrup with low quality. Even “it was” maple syrup quality was ehh. It wasn’t even the syrup part that really did it for me. I ordered the empanadas to go, when I got home as I’m eating I see there was hair in one of the empanadas. Yuck… I definitely won’t be returning. Good idea, poor execution. A nice place is cool in terms of looks, but food quality is always #1!

We ordered from Urban Vegan Roots for our wedding buffet and they did a great job! Our guests especially loved the mushroom empanadas and buffalo cauliflower bites. They arrived on time/early and were excellent.

A must stop for Vegan Foodies like myself! Oh My you will need to bring your appetite because so much to choose from. All the items we tried were AWESOME!!!

I promise you will need to order two of my favorites. Yes I said it “favorites” after my first visit from Dallas Texas.

The Heavy Hitter Steak Sandwich was so so good, you gotta get it, even the fries were great as well, the star is the sandwich hands down. Okay let’s talk about the Korean BBQ wings, DANG they are the bomb, a must buy also. I promise you will not be disappointed, everything we ordered was very tasty.

It was a pleasure being able to chat with the owner David! Thanks for offering great Vegan food, nice decor and a friendly environment. Unfortunately we could not find parking, so I to take the food to go. I am so sorry I wasn’t able to dine in because the restaurant was so nice, lots of color, art to enjoy looking at. The next time I am in NY this will be on my must stop-by-list!

Beware! Ordering online you get socked with a hefty tip and delivery fee without warning. One sandwich, one lasagna, one 4 or. drink=$76.00 (although they said it would be $56.). They made no effort to rectify despite my having generously tipped the delivery man (before discovering how they'd racheted up the total). Really disappointing.

Place has an artistic vibe. Dine in had Chefs V Shroom Steak (I love mushrooms), with mashed potato with skin and broccoli. Very good, a bit pricey. Tried Muse mushroom drink first time (not my favorite, coffee is more my speed), and Mississippi mud cake (smallish slice, but very dense and filling). To go had Big Bando Breakfast Burrito, perfectly wrapped to eat on the plane. Would go back again since the menu is quite varied.
