Beatnic Vegan Restaurant - Providence

Used to be delicious when it was by chloe. After the rebrand everything is worse. quality of customer service is really not good, quality of the food is way worse, everything. very sad.

Decent food but ordered delivery spinach artichoke dip from Thayer location and received a bag of crumbs. Literally like someone stepped on it. I emailed them and they said they will make sure they don't do it again but did nothing to rectify the situation. So i thought I would share.

Best vegan chili ever!!!!Stumbled across this place while strolling Thayer Street on a visit to Providence.We thoroughly enjoyed the food, cool interior, and the server was resourceful and funny. The drink was very basic.We had the golden green salad, chili, 50/50 fries, chocolate chip cookie, sprinkle cookie, and tea/lemonade.Definitely would eat here again - especially the chili and beet ketchup! ?

My friend and I recently got takeout from Beatnic and the food was excellent! We will definitely order again!

Great vegan food and nice ingredients. My only two complaints are price and quality. For price I have observed expensive vegan restaurant prices and while the food was great the portions were very small. 15 dollars for the sandwich/burger itself that is vegan may seem reasonable to some but the actually quantity of food you receive should put everything in at a cheaper price point. The second small critique is the French fries were cold and fairly stale when we received them. I realize they may have been using older fries from the lunch rush and only had the fries under a warming light available and were thus not fresh when we got there at 1:30 but they were nearly cold when we ate them. All in all the ingredients themselves were great and the atomosphere inside was fun and there were creative flavors like the crispy mushroom bacon but the high prices paired with the smaller portions was the primary factor in me not reviewing them higher. I likely won't return again and will instead seek other vegan options nearby.

I love this place and have been going since it was By.Chloe. The salads are SO good - and a really good size. I don’t usually order salads anywhere, but they really are GREAT here.The mac and cheeze might just be my favorite mac n cheeze. Buffalo cauli poppers are also really good.Usually get take-out and service is very quick. I’ve never had a bad experience there. Also the rewards program is good.Not sure why there aren’t more positive reviews; I’m so glad to have a quick, decently priced vegan spot nearby.

I love Beatnic. I took my sister, nieces, and a friend who are not vegan and they loved the food and atmosphere.

Good clean food. Cafe like set up. I got the Kale Salad with 50/50 sweet potato & regular fries & a lemonade. We enjoyed the food. Service was polite. Will probably return.

Got the falafel wrap and it was worth the wait! Wow. Crunchy, savory, little kick of spicy. Light on the stomach. Very well crafted recipe. Will definitely Be back.

My first time to eat vegan food. Tastes so good, but I don’t think it’s healthier than the meals with meat.

You can rebrand all you want but when you opened and wouldn’t take our cash you lost business and respect. In a restaurant industry state, where most of us carry and spend cash, (because that’s how we are paid) deciding to not take the most universal form of currency was idiotic and elitist. They alienated so many people the moment they opened their doors. And those of us wanting to try the new vegan place soon discovered the food is mediocre at best. SO many phenomenal, inclusive, vegan friendly options in RI you should support instead.

By chloe rebrand, I've only done take-out and delivery since the name change so I can't speak to the place itself. It's a quick vegan option. I've gotten their mac and cheese, fries, tempeh sandwich, burger and dessert before. Their pound cake is really dry. Food is okay, there is nothing that I love, and nothing that really stands out to me.

The food at Beatnics is awful. And given my two meal rule before i ever review something, which i also do rarely, i can honestly say that my second meal was like the first: Soggy wilted, dead from being wrapped and reheated all day, and tasteless on top of all that. It is the kind of food you can't even imagine tasting better even if it was fresh and hot. There is nothing aesthetically healthy here and if it is a choice, surviving on a dessert island, between a vegan beatnic burger meal and fries and the same McDonalds beef patty alternative combo i guarantee the latter will keep you happier and feeling better. And it cost $21.It is also an example of the tastes of a places location that impacts its ratings and their relative connection to what you may think is 4.5 stars. Beatnic is on Thayer, which means College somethings, which means you can only get extremes on food experiences and Beatnics must be that fast food alternative perfect for when you're stoned or studied out and it hits the spot fast and can be repeated for days without looking mouldy, as opposed to say the other extreme in a college territory like East Side pockets where being where they are adds a "best of food" experience you find growing and hidden it such locales. Lots of better dining all over that area.

The Quinoa Taco Salad is my favorite. The kids love the Mac n cheese and chiky nuggets. Yummy food spot that plays urban and other popular music.

I was served a magic mushroom salad with very visibly brown gauc. The cashier/server replied that is because we keep our guac out. Would you tell a customer that in the first place?? Secondly presentation is everything. It was embarrassing because I actually had a guest with me and I hyped up the place for dinner. I am visiting from Los Angeles and was excited to eat at Beatnic since the restaurant name change and since we no longer have this access in Los Angeles. Utterly disappointing
