It's a combination of a quick stop health food store and restaurant. The staff were very nice and welcoming. I kept it light and ordered a Tropical Paradise smoothie, which was absolutely delicious, along with a curry chickpea empanada. Nothing disappointed. I ate on the cafe side this time around, but they have a nice dining area, so I would love to come back and enjoy a full meal. No doubt this would be a go-to spot for me if I lived here!

I'm not sure if the woman I spoke with was the owner but it was a middle aged woman and an older lady working. They were so smiley, so warm and friendly. We ordered at the counter and sat and then they brought out our food, it took maybe 15 minutes? Very fast! I got "bao bao bao" buns and the "send noods" with udon and white miso broth. So warming, so comforting, fresh veggies!!! Both were fantastic and exactly what I needed. My friend also got the "send noods" but with soba noodles and the ginger turmeric broth, and she loved hers as well. The store has tons of baked goods, smoothies, breakfast all day, lattes, and a thrift rack too plus jewelry! Tons of cute magazine and books around. Just overall a beautiful vibe and I hope this place flourishes!

Last night I visited with a group of 6 friends for some late night snacks. We ordered a handful of milkshakes, some small burgers, and fries for the table. Nice thing is that service was prompt and our food was served as quickly. In past visits when they were busier the wait time for food was much longer. But that's usually been ~dinner time when the restaurant is also otherwise impacted, so nothing out of the norm. My key lime shake was delicious. Warning: these things are HUGE. Split or be prepared to have an unproductive rest of your day. Fries are so-so in my experience, but honestly when you're gorging down other things like burgers and milkshakes, I'm not focusing too much on any kind of superior fry quality. I'd have shown you a photo, but it was so good it was gone before it came to mind to snap a shot. At restaurants I'm a "get one thing and only get one thing" kind of guy, and for me that's the double Texas Ringer here. If it's your first time, that's what I'd start out with and you can branch out from there on later visits. SOLID burger. Restaurant is generally clean, given the amount of traffic that comes through. The neon 50's (?) vibe is a nice touch to match with the food that's being served for an all-around experience that matches. And open late? Great for your late night dinner or dive food cravings!

The place has plenty of natural light because of the floor to ceiling windows and mirrors. It's clean, and the service was professional and welcoming. I ordered the Thai chili salmon burger combo and added Thai chili shrimp to my sandwich. The combo also comes with a strawberry salad and a fresh pressed juice. I got the watermelon juice. The salmon and shrimp were seared perfectly. The bun was soft and fresh. My only wish was that I wanted the Thai chili sauce to have some more spice/heat. It was still good. I'd give it a 4/5 The strawberry salad was phenomenal. The combination of the feta cheese, cashews, fresh strawberries, cranberries, and the deviled egg paired deliciously together. Each item complimented the other. 5/5 The General Tso Turkey Breast Burger had a nice tangy sweetness I don't like onions on my sandwich; however, the caramelization of the onions were spot on, and the burger was juicy. 5/5 The watermelon juice was good, but I would suggest either serving it ice cold or with ice, mint, and a lemon/lime wedge on the side because I had to drink it before the ice made it too watery. 4/5 Lastly, I had the Mexican-style grilled street corn. The corn was actually sweet, and the contrast of the corn and the sauce mixed with a lil spice made that very inviting to the palate. I had my eye on a few other menu items, and I will also try a smoothie on my next visit. You can't go wrong when a restaurant in the middle of the hood is focused on healthy food options and winning!

I had asked for chia but I didn't mind the mistake- not sure if it was a language barrier. It was a 9 min wait for my food. There's plenty of tables and it's a peaceful inside, no loud music. There's also smoothies and other drinks, and tortas if you're looking for savory food. Would revisit for sure!

*Cross posted to Google for visibility*…read more Casa Borinqueña is seriously something special. I stopped in and ended up chatting with one of the owners--he was so kind and clearly loves what he does. He walked me through the menu and pointed me to some favorites, which made the whole experience feel really personal. I got the Bori fries and the mofongo cups (one "chicken," one "beef"), and everything was incredible--rich, savory flavors, crispy plantains, perfectly cooked plant-based meats, and that mama sauce tying it all together. When I asked about desserts, he even gave me a cinnabon bun to try, and it was unreal--warm, soft, perfectly sweet. Already planning my next trip back. I can't wait to try more.

Casa Borinquena is so delicious! I have been a fan since their pop-up days in Oakland and I was…read moreexcited to bring my parents here and they absolutely loved it. We got a ton of stuff to share: the loaded tostones with beef, the Bori fries (yucca) with mushrooms, pinchos, rice with gandules, and pastelillos. Everything was really great, but I think our favorites were the tostones and yucca fries! Great flavors, well-seasoned, really just perfect! It's delicious Puerto Rican food that just happens to be vegan as well. The restaurant is fairly small, and you order at the counter. The person helping us was super nice and helpful in making recommendations. Everything is served in takeout containers even if you eat in, but I don't think that's a big deal. It's casual, in a good way. We also got a bunch of desserts to take home... and that coquito tres leches cake was soooooo good! Highly recommend! I hope Casa Borinquena has a long & successful run in Philly, so make sure you visit!

Nestled in a so-so neighborhood is a nice, inviting place called All the Way Live. Apparently,…read morethere is/was more than one of these locations, but when I look on their website, there is only this location currently. I was eating with mostly a vegan group of people and learned about how my interests differed greatly from theirs and learned to appreciate the different vegan spectrum levels more and to realize that there is more of a spectrum. Being a raw vegan is a whole nother level and while I am open to this kind of food, I wouldn't want to restrict myself to this lifestyle as it would be too stressful and unenjoyable for me. The group seemed to be a fan of this place, and I am no exception to that. Many didn't like Vedge at all whereas I did, one or two said Monster Vegan could consider charging more which i disagree with even though I haven't made it there yet, Su Xing seems to get respectable ratings by all, Charlie's is mixed but I am a fan personally. If vegan meat tastes too much like the real thing, this turns off a significant number of vegans. For a non-vegan foodie like myself, or possibly vegans strict to their diets that miss meat might appreciate this type of food accessibility. Even though the ingredients here are all raw vegan (to start), they are made flavorful for a more healthy experience. The apple cake I had here had a different texture than your typical American cake. I believe it was layers of fuji apple itself and it was made moderately sweet- not overly sweet like a typical American pastry. The candied squash I had here was fine with the unexpected salad to accompany it, but i didn't feel the candied part of it per se. The mushroom "cheesesteak" I didn't feel was really much of a vegan cheesesteak, but it was still flavorful enough with actual mushrooms and veggies within a roll. The prices are on the higher side but seemed appropriately priced too. The ginger lime drink I had tasted natural but flavorful. Pricy, but flavorful and refreshing. As to the reviewers who were frustrated by the place closing with no proper notification, that is very frustrating. I get it's a local place, but those kind of details are important to at least have on your website- something within the store's control. Somewhat ironically, my group was here because the Nile nearby was closed on this particular day only. This was on their Instagram. During my time here, my group asked me out of 10, how would I rate the cake. I said 9 or 10 at the time and don't regret that. They were surprised by such a high rating. I haven't had too many specific vegan cakes myself nor do I need to specifically try to overindulge myself in cakes. I was a bit overwhelmed to try to review on the spot but felt it was my duty to try to because I have been writing many reviews currently. Also, I see that it takes me time to think about all these things in my reviews like this one here. This review would have been too much to tell a person in-person. After further prior review investigation and more thought, 10% is high for credit card surcharge and there should be more transparency on that beforehand if not displayed well. 5% would probably still allow a slight profit but also be more appropriate and reasonably easy to calculate I think. Also, because of the area this is in, one could argue maybe the prices need to be tempered down. This is specialty too and it is all quite debatable.
