The fire dragon smoothie is a go to when I need to combat seasonal depression. Vodega is brilliant. They provide delicious vegan options, with friendly staff and a fitting atmosphere. Medicine for the soul!

I really wanted to like this place, but wow… what a letdown. I waited about 20 minutes while the one (very overworked-looking) employee reheated everything in an air fryer. Yup — nothing was fresh, and it tasted exactly like that.
• Falafel: Dry as the desert. Zero seasoning. I actually needed water after eating one.
• Fried oyster mushrooms: 90% breading, maybe 10% mushroom if you’re lucky.
• Quinoa: No salt, no seasoning, nothing.
• Curried chickpeas: Couldn’t taste curry at all, no salt, peas still hard. It felt unfinished.
• Miso dressing: This was the saving grace. Slightly sweet, really tasty, actually perked up the salad.
• Tahini sauce: Not my vibe — very pasty and way too earthy
• Jerk jackfruit: OMG. No one tasted this before serving, I’m convinced. It literally tasted like canned jackfruit straight out of super salty brine, drowned in painfully spicy jerk sauce. Completely inedible.
For a vegan spot, I expected fresh, flavorful, and thoughtful food. Instead, it was bland, overbreaded, or just plain off. If it were closer, I’d honestly return the meals. Two meals, zero satisfaction.

One of my favorite places on Staten Island. The coffee was great, the smoothie delicious, and the pastries were fire. The owner is super chill too. Love this place.
My mom got the gf mac and cheese and she said it was very good. I got the oreo shake and it was immaculate.

Traveled across Staten Island to check it out. Boy was it worth it. I just wish they were closer, or at least delivered around here in Oakwood. Next time I'm over that way I will be stopping in.

I absolutely love everything I’ve tried at this vegan spot, and I’m not even a vegan. The Jack bowl is delicious & full of flavor, the Lavender latte is perfection and way better than that nasty stuff they sell at Starbucks. The service is always great! Highly recommended!

Love the food here! very tasty and healthy
The Mac n cheese is A1 delicious. I also tried the jackfruit, the salad and some of the sides. I'm never disappointed. And let me tell u this chickenless parm I got today is so damn good that I wanna go back and get another right now. To add to that, I like the people and I can definitely appreciate the ambience. If you're looking for healthy eats, I highly recommend.

I spoke with the kid on the phone asking about the solar eclipse glasses: he told me he would hold them (he wouldn’t let me pay for them ahead of time) I told him I would be coming around 2:30 he said that’s fine that he would hold them aside….when I got there he told me he had none. He assured me he had 4 in front and plenty in the back.
Quick and friendly serviceExcellent food.
