Very yummy old school (70s style with some updates) vegetarian restaurant (aka kosher dairy). I was…read morea little overwhelmed by all of the choices on the menu and decided to get an omelette for dinner. I could choose three veggies and a cheese. I picked spinach, arugula, mushrooms, and their house made queso blanco. It came with a few yummy French-fry-style roasted potatoes and one of their famous dinner rolls, which was multigrain and very hearty. Not cutting edge but all well-made and tasty. The bakery items looked amazing but I was full! So I got a piece of their carrot cake, which other customers were raving about, as well as a vegan gluten-free sunbutter cookie. I very much appreciate that they have outdoor seating! They happen to be very close to a smoke shop, so eating outside they just were a lot of people vaping or smoking as they passed. It's also a particularly hectic corner with people going to the theater or for music show. But I am planning to come back while I'm here and to try something else!

I swear that's why I've always loved tofu! And I'm mostly vegan now the past 28 years, and my mother the past 12. This place is a staple in New Haven and testament to their good food for staying open all these years. When Claire's first opened vegetarian restaurants weren't a thing, and over the years the menu has shifted.. but it's always good. For me it's home cooking style, comfort food.. they have their own style. This place was around before everyone was freaking out about carbs.. thank god! I never leave without a cookie and a muffin for later.. they're the best! I recently got hooked on the Sunbuttter cookie, and also enjoy the Lithuanian coffee cake muffin. Soups and salads come with the classic Claire mini loaf! A delicious buttery(is it vegan? don't know) mini loaf of bread, just as tasty as I remember it from my childhood. Their oat milk Matcha Lattes are creamy and they don't slack on the matcha. The service is always friendly and helpful. The menu accommodates vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free options as well. enjoy!

We stopped in on our very first day for a late lunch and tried a variety of items, including the chowder, Caesar salad, fried oyster mushrooms, sandwiches, and a fresh juice. Everything was outstanding - fresh, flavorful, generous, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Coming from the Bay Area, we also found the prices very reasonable. The staff and owner were warm and welcoming, and we loved seeing photos of animals from local sanctuaries displayed throughout the restaurant. We enjoyed our lunch so much that we ordered breakfast from Love It Vegan on the next two mornings. The omelets were hearty and delicious, and the home fries were perfectly crispy and well seasoned--no ketchup or sauce needed. Love It Vegan is truly a gem. Whether you're vegan or simply looking for a great meal, this place is well worth a visit. We wish them a long and prosperous future and look forward to returning the next time we're in the area.

It's a family owned place where the husband and wife duo manage everything. The food tastes like authentic Gujarati home cooked food.

I spent a few days in Connecticut a few weeks back and one place I was told I needed to try, was…read moreSoulfully Vegan in Berlin. I ended up coming here on a Thursday night with a friend who eats here pretty often and I was stoked to check it out. The menu is full of burgers, hot dogs, sides, and shakes and after some consideration I decided to order some french fries as well as a meatball sub......but I was told the meatball sub was discontinued so I settled on ordering some chicken strips with the french fries and also a milkshake to wash it all down. The chicken strips were pretty dang good and I was a big fan of them. They were super crispy, the "chick'n" tasted great and the french fries on the side were top notch as well. Now, I'm pretty sure the milkshake I had was snickerdoodle or something like that, but it's not on the online menu so I could be wrong, but either way, the milkshake was freaking delicious and absolutely something I would continue to order on future visits. Overall, Soulfully Vegan is a wonderful vegan spot and definitely something needed in Central Connecticut. Vegan fast food is fun and I can definitely see myself returning on future trips to the nutmeg.

In my heart of hearts, I want to gatekeep Soulfully Vegan, but I know it would be a disservice to…read morethe world if I did that. I visited the Soulfully Vegan's stand at the Big E last night, and let me tell you, it was an experience that changed my life! We had the chance to meet Alison, one of the co-owners of this amazing truck. She was super friendly and had this warm energy about her. She answered all our questions, and I really appreciated that. Now, I usually don't eat anything when I go to the Big E because everything there is deep-fried and heavy. But this truck totally changed my mind. I was curious about the big dog, which is a vegan hotdog with vegan cheese, vegan bacon, and jalapeños. I was surprised to learn that all the meats and cheeses were vegan. (I know that probably sounds silly considering it's a vegan truck, but that's is such a rare find in Massachusetts.) I'm not a vegan, but I do enjoy vegan products. I don't eat pork or beef products, so I can't usually eat hotdogs when I go to Fenway or any other event. But the big dog exceeded my expectations! Every bite was a chef's kiss. The hotdog tasted authentic, with a perfect balance of saltiness. The crispy bacon, evenly spread cheese, and the perfectly warmed bun all complemented each other, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors. Alison was so sweet that she even offered us a strawberry milkshake. The strawberry milkshake was hands down the best milkshake I've ever had. The consistency was ideal for a milkshake. It was the ideal level of sweetness and the little chunks of strawberry sent me over the edge. I thought I was going to die and go to heaven. I cannot say enough good things about their food and customer service. If you plan to go to the Big E or venture to central Connecticut, then you have to stop by and check them out. I hope this business continues to thrive! I can't wait for you to open a truck or spot in Boston. I'm sending you all of my good vibes and manifesting it for both of us!

This place is clearly a local favorite as the small parking lot was full, but we lucked out as someone was pulling out as we arrived. The service was top notch! We were greeted by a friendly young woman who seated us right away in a 2 person booth. The place is your classic stainless steel exterior and the inside was packed with happy patrons. The people in the booth next to us said they rarely dine out but they frequent Georgie's for their food. We were served by 3 different young women who were super friendly and professional. Before we got our food I was thinking I would come back for the service alone. Now the food. I ordered Georgie's omelette with home fries. 5/5. Excellent omelette and though the home fries were just potatoes they were cooked with some crunchy bits that simply elevated them. Laura got the eggs Benedict and she loved it. 5/5. We also ordered the buckwheat pancakes with blueberries and bananas. These were the best pancakes I've ever eaten 5/5! On top of it they serve organic food and locally sourced ingredients. The diversity of their staff was another added feature. This place is special!!! Laura and I agreed that it was the best meal we ate during our New Haven weekend. I would go on a 1.5 hour road trip for this place. Top notch!

In this food bar, stainless-steel food trays inside a glass case enable you to view exactly what's…read moreon the daily menu. You choose to fit your appetite. The large combo platter comprises your choice of seven dishes, the medium platter is five choices, and the small is three. The five items depicted in my photo of my medium-size plate are, clockwise from the top, grilled tofu, steamed broccoli, baked sweet potatoes, sautéed green beans with red peppers, and curried potatoes. The above descriptions double as the simple names of the dishes. The food does not masquerade behind pretentious titles, nor does it appear flamboyant or pretend to be fanciful. What you're served are affordable and generous portions of delicious and nutritious food. Real food. Americans call this natural food. In the Rasta lexicon, natural foods are redefined as Ital foods. As you might adduce from the photo, the café's two owners are Rastas, and their cuisine is authentic Jamaican Rastafari Ital. "Ital" is derived from the word "vital." To provide "vitality," Ital food on your plate differs little from how it looks on the farm. Ital food is usually vegan, but not always. Only four of the five Rasta cafés in Connecticut and nearby Worcester are strictly vegan. As there is no Board of Ital Cuisine to issue certifications, Ital cooking does vary with the territory. The Ital food served at Caribbean Style Vegan is, as its name attests, always vegan. It also is always nourishing, colorful, and skillfully prepared. Nothing is ever too spicy or too salty or too sweet or too oily or overcooked or undercooked. Grilled in a spicy barbecue sauce, even the jerk tofu is humanely spiced. With just the medium platters, I always feel satiated but never bloated, evidence of the frugal use or total absence of oil. Never drowned in oily sauces, the veggies remain visually recognizable and inherently flavorful. Caribbean Style Vegan stands as my favorite of the seven Ital cafés in which I have dined both stateside and in Jamaica. At the two Ital cafés that I visited in Kingston, neither served any mock meats. Yet at some cafés in the U.S., their varieties of mock meats almost equal their numbers of veggie dishes. I am mystified that in our corner of New England they serve so many highly processed mock meats, a concession to the American lust for meat. In contrast, Caribbean Style Vegan upholds a higher standard. It serves only a single mock meat. Grains, beans, greens, and root vegetables predominate. Most veggies are steamed; a few are sautéed; none are deep-fried. My kind of food. For in-house dining, you'll find two sunlit tables along the south-facing wall of plate glass window. Still, the café is more conducive for takeout. I have witnessed a steady flow of regular customers who sometimes place multiple orders of takeout meals to deliver to their families waiting at home. Yet even when other customers wait in line with you, the wait is always short. Their social media accounts is seldom updated. So view only their website. Yet, the website menu is viewable only during open hours. To place an online order or simply to view the website menu, you must wait until 12 noon, Wednesday to Saturday.
