My mom and I absolutely adored this place, they have so many cute odds and ends so the atmosphere is amazing, they have post positivity signs and pro choice and eve free stuff for people who need it! As for the food, it was so delicious! Everything from the breakfast, to the wrap for lunch, to even all the deserts was just so fresh! They' even have fresh sauces made in house that was so good nothing I've ever tasted before! Service was amazing, we were greeted and given time to choose what we wanted, served and offered really nice hospitality. If you're in the area or even a little farther it's so worth coming out here, my mother and I came an hour out to try this place and it was worth the drive. We will definitely be making the trip back down here again! read more

Cat's Luck - Vegan Near Me - Neptune City, New Jersey

The food was just okay. I was with my boyfriend. He got the tofu scrambled egg biscuit thing, and I got a waffle. He said it was okay but wouldn't order it again. I thought the waffle was fine, but it was very soft, almost pancake-like, not crispy like I would expect of a regular waffle. The ambiance was very cute. You could tell they love animals. Lots of vintage decorations and nostalgia all around. Everytime I looked at the walls, I noticed something new. There are only 2 tables inside and several picnic style tables outside. The bathroom is big enough for a wheelchair. Overall, it's a nice place and I'm glad to eat dairy-free food. I didn't have any issues with the service that other reviews have mentioned. read more

Cats luck continues to deliver! I've never had a disappointing meal here. My non vegan friends love it, my family loves the pastries - especially the pignolis! Service is always friendly, and they, and the decorations, always make me feel at home. It's also a bonus they allow vendors in the shop too! Love my Udder Chaos Farm Sanctuary hat! read more

Second time here and I finally tried the food. Got the breakfast crunch wrap. It was incredible. My wife got a bunch of cookies and everything was delicious. We're both ex-vegans and if you're like me and considering going back to vegan, this place will encourage you in that direction. Truly forgot how good vegan food can be when it's not lazily done with tofurkey. Will definitely try to visit again soon. read more

amazing food, great service, and just an overall amazing place! my go-to is always some version of the fried chicken, whether it's just the side or the chicken and waffles, always amazing. the baked goods are awesome too! everyone that works there is amazing; friendly, helpful and funny too! my favorite vegan spot near me! read more

very delicious vegan food, quite an extensive menu... So many choices I had difficulty picking. We ended up getting the chickpea sandwich and the taco mac & cheese.... both were so scrumptious. The ingredients were fresh and tasted like they were expertly prepared. In addition they had tons of bakery goods that all looked so tantalizing, we had a moon pie and a chocolate peanut butter brownie, and they were both out of this world.... as if all this wasn't enough ... the atmosphere was very cute, lots of artwork and felt very homey, and staff was super friendly and helpful..... if you are vegan, you must come check this place out and even if you are not vegan, you will love all the food just the same! read more

Vegan treats and comfort food done right!! Both the staff and the cozy atmosphere leave you feeling welcomed. Their crunchwraps are amazing!! Recently ordered a Big Cat crunchwrap on a whim and loved it. Their treats pair so well with a latte. read more

The hot food was delicious including the Kale which I've never enjoyed before I tried this one. The Crunchwrap was awesome and not messy at all. Unfortunately the bakery section with the glass baked goods from what we purchased seems to all be on the stale side and the flavors were very mid. Also there were very few seating options inside which made it feel a little cramped but there were some tables and seating outside. read more

Cat's Luck - Poboy Crunch Wrap with chips and Kale - Vegan Near Me - Neptune City, New Jersey

Got coffee from the coffee place inside called steady hand. But the review is for the food place. Chicken Sammi was good and the alternative "chicken" was delicious with the honey mustard came with a side of kale and chips. The crunch wrap was just okay. I think compared to your taco bell crunch wrap what lacked was the melted cheese and abundance of sour cream alternatives. I would like to see just a little bit more of a positive attitude from the person up front and ultimately the is the missing star on this review. read more

I live almost an hour away and try to stop by as much as possible...I'm not even vegan, it's just that good. The Bagel with Just Egg 'n Cheese is bangin'. And you know what else is bangin'? Adding temeph bacon and the walnut sausage to it. The loaded biscuits are also amazing. The stuff that takes the cake is the bakery case. And cake is a baked good. So it makes sense. We order all the savory stuff ahead of time and then shop the case with our eyes. In and out in about 5 minutes. Everything in the bakery case is good. read more

I wanted to like it. I really truly did. I'm a cat mom who loves plant based food. The drink was great but the crunchwraps were just not. The brunch wrap had curry or turmeric, not listed in the description and the cheesesteak tasted like sausage. Friendly greeting from the owner, waitstaff was not as friendly. I tipped 15% before receiving service so maybe I didn't tip enough. read more

I am a lifelong vegetarian, & if I was on death row & needed a last meal, I would have them bring me the Seitan Rueben from Cat's Luck & one of their snickerdoodles. Do not sleep on this place, they are incredible, & the staff here are really cool & kind. read more

So I absolutely love what they are doing here! It's only a little mixed because the "chili" was crazy spicy as in inedible. The Caesar was great as well as the pastries. I think I'd highly recommend the sweet stuff here. I didn't want to give a low rating cause over all the place and people are great here. So definitely need to try something way less spicy next time. read more

Cat's Luck - a woman sitting at a desk - Vegan Near Me - Neptune City, New Jersey

I try to be more plant based and this place randomly came on my radar. We ordered the chicken sandwich and crunch wrap. The chicken is made of seitan, and my first time eating it. Tasted mostly of honey mustard, it oozed out of the seitan. The crunch wrap was a bit dry--maybe the tortilla chips absorbed too much moisture? The kale salad was good on both, though I'd probably rather have passed on the chips and just have had a slightly cheaper price. Food was pretty good overall. Service was a bit cold, though. We were slightly put off by some of the signs around the establishment. I'm all for human rights but there was a particular sign stating, 'put the proud boys in the hospital.' A bit too violent for my taste. read more

Cat's Luck is consistently awesome. We love both their desserts and their meals. Moving back to NJ last summer, this was one of the first vegan spots we found and have never had a bad experience since. The Italian sandwich is delicious, and I appreciate being able to get a classic pork roll egg and cheese, minus the cruelty. The anisette and sandwich cookies are my favorite! The portions are generous and the atmosphere is super cute, always something cool to look at. The staff is very friendly and patient while we spend way too long trying to decide what treats to get :) and there is quite a variety! Steady Hand Coffee inside of the shop is really good too. read more

Delicious!!!! I went here for the first time today and I had a BLT because everything looks amazing (follow them on Instagram!) I couldn't decide. The sandwich was sooo good as was the side kale salad as well as the lavender shortbread cookie which was the best cookie I've ever had and a moist chocolate cake. They have breakfast all day and many choices and specials. Highly recommend. read more

Cat's Luck - Vegan Near Me - Neptune City, New Jersey

I was diagnosed with my dairy allergy 3 years ago and finding good treats is hard. Although I'm not fully vegan, I tend to eat mostly plant based as it's easier with my allergy. This place is a blessing!! The options on their hot menu and the full bakery case is amazing. I didn't try anything from the hot food menu, but I was able to grab a cosmic brownie, banana nut crumb cake, a cinnamon roll, and compost cookie. The cosmic brownie was so good I got nervous for a second because I thought I was eating dairy, LOL! And the crumb cake? Literally blown away. My favorite was the compost cookie, it was a thick and soft on the inside cookie that I've been thinking about since I had it. What's even better is everything is so reasonably priced. From someone who pays so much more for their dairy-free/vegan alternatives this place is so affordable for someone looking for vegan options. I will be back, with my friends who were shocked when I told them it was all vegan goodness! Thank you for creating an affordable, kind, and welcoming environment for everyone with delicious food. read more

Whether you are vegan or not, if you have a sweet tooth or a craving for some delicious junk food you HAVE to visit Michelle and the crew over at Cats Luck. I got a whole box of different goodies and shared them with my non vegan family and they loved it! My personal favorites are the Big Mac Handpie and the Chick'n and Waffles Donut. Michelle also cares about her community... She does cake raffles or other kinds of fundraisers where 100% of the proceeds to directly to local organizations. Cats Luck is worth checking out! read more

I'm a big believer in eating and shopping local and cats luck did have me weary because the wide menu selection. But I was willing to try. I bought the Mother's Day treat box.

I'm sorry I really wanted to like this place in terms of food. I love what they are doing for the community but food is meh at best. I got the fried chicken sandwich my sister got the lasagna Crunchwrap and we had a slice of spicy peanut butter cake. The chicken was so thick I had to unhinge my jaw to take a bite and it tasted closer to fake sausage than chicken. My sisters lasagna Crunchwrap has a weird seasoned kale and the tomato sauce was definitely something store bought. The spicy peanut cake was not spicy and extremely dry. Not sure if fresh or just very stale. The little side salad next to the sandwich was good though and chips not bad. read more

Cat's luck is all vegan (bonus!!) and has a super cute set up with art pieces throughout. I stopped by on my way to CT from PA - it added over an hour drive but it was worth it. Their food options are unique, you won't find the typical fries and veggie burger over here and they all sound soooo good! Its difficult to choose what you'd want - so you have to come back and you'll do so gladly! They also had so many yummy looking sweet treats!! I'm so far away but I've been thinking about planning a trip somewhere in the area soon just so I can make a stop here. So yummy! read more

Baked goods are consistent tasty and fun my FAV by far is the blueberry crumb and the chocolate pretzel "cake" .. droolllll Food to order is not as consistent.. I've had semi burnt to under cooked whether its potatoes or anything that needs "toasting." Portion to price ratio is definitely higher than most surrounding locations and when you're paying prices like that you shouldn't need to pick apart your food or push things to the side. Food to order always seems like it's made in a rush but an average to go order is 30 mins plus. If you disagree with anything from there .. good luck they don't want to hear it, customer service is non existent... the attitude given is take it or leave it basically. read more

Amazing vegan food with an equally delicious selection of pastries which will be very hard to resist. The staff is very friendly and there's plenty of things to choose from however it's take out only so plan to eat in the car. read more

I've been out of the review game for quite some time, my apologies if I'm a bit rusty. Think of a place where you can get amazing and unique pastries. Now think of a place where you can get absolutely delicious food. Next, imagine you can get all of these delicious items without products produced by the animal agriculture industry. Finally, what if such a grand place also gave a genuine darn about people, not just their customers, but about all people. If you've been looking for such a place, look no further than Cat's Luck. Usually, I would wrote a post about certain items a place serves, but I don't know where to start with this place. Try everything at least twice. It's all so good. Their breakfast? Amazing! Their lunch? Outstanding! Their pastries? Omg! When you take everything into account and add that everyone working their are just awesome people, this is the place to go if you're looking for the embodiment of pure awesomeness. If you haven't been to Cat's Luck, get your behind down there. And if you have, go again! I hope to see you all there. read more

The staff- friendly The wait- feasible (made when ordered) The baked treats- fantastic The food- fantastic also The price- can become overwhelming I've enjoyed every item ordered thus far. -ALL the baked treats (they even had doggy treats for my pooch) -The waffle...YUM (I ask for the waffle to be well done as I like a little crisp vs fluffy) -Tempeh bacon...Good but salty, maybe this is how tempeh is supposed to be as I only had it here. -Sweet potato fries YUM -The biscuit and gravy YUM - Mac & Cheese...Good - Chickpea Tuna...YUM (The type of bread used is too hard for the roof of my mouth) -Bagel w/cream cheese, plain & vege YUM (Comes untoasted but may toast if I asked) I've considered a number of factors for my rating: -Todays prices for everything has inflated, even tho vegan food has almost always been pricier than reg food. -The cozy location may be understaffed as far as the wait for amount of food ordered and quantity of orders in person or over the phone. It's also made when ordered giving me the security it hasn't been laying around so that will take some time to put together. -Even tho I haven't ventured more of the menu, my selections are pretty basic and have been consistent in quality and taste. -The baked goods always tip the scale of what I wanted to spend as I order several desserts which have all been yummy! My bill is $80 at the end of it all. read more

First and foremost, we are not vegan and absolutely love this bakery. So if you're thinking it's not for you because you're not vegan, think again. 10/10! We absolutely love Cats Luck and have been picking up their baked goods when available at Twisted Tulip (a coffee shop in north NJ!) Now that Cats Luck is on their own in a brand new shop, we took a trip down a few weeks ago and were not disappointed! Well worth the 90 minute drive. Would have to say my favorite was the crumb cake read more

I had no clue this place existed until a couple months ago when they had a clothing swap. As soon as we walked in on the day of the swap I knew I liked the vibe of this place. BUT THEN I actually saw the menu. As a vegetarian of 17ish years, I was overwhelmed by the prospect of having actual options to choose from on the menu. Everything is vegan AND delicious?! I got a crunchwrap that first time & have gone back basically every weekend since. It's basically become happy place. Between the delicious comfort food, the really kind staff & the creative array of bakery treats I'm hooked! I've been telling everyone I know irl how obsessed I am & that they need to check it out. Now I figure it wouldn't hurt to leave a review telling internet strangers they should also check it out :) p.s. I literally NEVER leave reviews, good or bad. I just love this place so much that I was willing to take the time to do this. That really should tell you something read more
