    BEC on a Croissant
    Naomi L.

    This is such a cute spot in Williamsburg, they have some outdoor seating and lots of fun pastries! I loved the vegan BEC on a croissant

    Rachael M.

    Everything here is amazing. I love the chocolate chip cookie croissant and have bought multiple times. Recently tried the French toast muffin and cinnamon roll and both were excellent.

    This is my new favorite vegan spot in Williamsburg! The music instantly transported me back to France. The service was excellent, the food was absolutely delicious, and I loved the decor--both inside and out!

    grilled chicken caesar wrap
    Anne B.

    Cozy cafe in Williamsburg with a completely vegan menu! I love the convenience of being at a vegan cafe and not worrying about whether a sauce contains dairy or what the upcharge will be for nondairy milk. Service was super friendly, the woman working the counter seemed new & very eager to help. The baked goods case was full, plenty of vegan baked goods from cookies to croissants. The cappuccino was solid, and I appreciated that they had soy milk as an option as that's been a rarity nowadays. I got the grilled chicken caesar wrap and had no complaints, it tasted like the Daring vegan chicken with romaine and some crispy onions. Lettuce was crisp, salad was dressed just right, and the wrap itself had a nice grill on it. The entire menu was enticing to me with lots of options, and it's great quality for what you'd find at a coffee shop, but don't think it'd be fair to compare the food here to that of a proper restaurant. I went on a Monday morning and it was pretty quiet, I was able to pull out my laptop and get some work done with the wifi. About eight tables total inside with a few more outside, most of are small ones for 1-2 people. I've been by on weekends and it seems quite a bit busier, maybe less of a work vibe then.

    The teeniest tiniest sliver of cheesecake imaginable for $7
    Kate V.

    I love their food. Specifically the steak sandwich, which is tender and marinated to perfection. I've only ordered delivery so I can't speak for the service or the ambiance. HOWEVER, I ordered their cheesecake slice for the first time and it was the TINIEST sliver of a slice for almost $7!!! A normal slice would be twice as big as this one. That's incredibly expensive for what amounts to a couple of bites of cake. I'm adding a picture to show how egregiously tiny this slice of cake was. At its widest point it was 1 inch. Very disappointed. It tasted great so it's a shame.

    Very cute spot in the neighborhood! I don't know if they were understaffed that day or it usually takes this long but it took a long time to get the food out, I probably waited 20min which is longer than average for lunch. Luckily I wasn't in a rush.

    Brussel Sprouts and Almond Cappuccino
    Jules

    Great vegan eatery and bakery. Ran across it by accident but looks like it's quickly turning into a neighborhood staple. Lots of vegan baked good like croissants and muffins. They're known for their vegan takes on typically meaty sandwiches, ala heros and meatball parms. I didn't get a chance to try those yet, but had their brussels sprouts, which are excellent and generously portioned, and an almond cappuccino. All were delicious, the vibe was relaxing and comfortable. The staff was sweet and attentive. I'll be coming back to try more treats soon!

    hot chai Hot Latte
    Andrielle G.

    Am I vegan? No. Did i order the Meatball Parm sub on doordash not knowing it was vegan? Yes. Did i absolutely destroy the sub like there was no tomorrow? Hells yes. Absurdly delicious and after reading these reviews, i have my eye on the mac & cheese next. The Chai Latte was well spiced & i adore the cup art. Can't wait to check out the in store vibe soon because "plant based butcher shop" is a must see.

    Chick'n Chick'n Parm Sandwich
    Allison D.

    I'm surprised there are only 52 reviews for this place on yelp! It's been there on grand street for quite some time and I finally got around to ordering some take out. The Mac and cheese lived up to the hype and so did the chicken Caesar wrap. The Mac and cheese could have been heavier on the bread crumbs and the wrap could have used more Caesar. Maybe that's just me, but this certainly won't stop me from ordering again. My partner had the Italian hero and I thought the texture was so unique. think all of this it best eaten immediately though, I ate part of my wrap a bit later and it wasn't as good cold! I didn't eat inside the restaurant but plan to do so at some point. Food was delivered very quickly and in one piece!

    Local kombucha
    Emily K.

    So incredibly cute in here. I loved the unique flavors and had a fantastic pistachio vanilla cortado. The barista was kind enough to custom make the cortado flavored even though it wasn't on the menu. She also gave a great recommendation for the local kombucha and it did not disappoint.

    Chick'n Parm Sandwich
    Rebecca P.

    This is a cute little shop that has both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff member was nice but it would be helpful if they had some type of bell or something when the staff are in the back just so they know when customers are out and ready to order. The sandwiches aren't bad but overpriced in my opinion. I was especially disappointed since I ordered the Italian HERO sub and it is supposed to come both turkey and roast beef but only was served with one because they ran out of the other yet they did not bother to mention that at all when I ordered or when I was given the sandwich. It is definitely a pet peeve of mine when restaurants do this and definitely decreases the value for me. For the chicken parm they do put the sauce on the side which is nice so you can choose how sauces you want it to be.

    Mac and cheese
    Roue V.

    Was in Williamsburg and wanted a delicious light bites cafe style. The menu was yummy and the options were exactly what you needed to find at a spot like this. They offer coffee, desserts, delicious pantry items that are heavenly for your cheeze board cravings. I tried the chicken Cesar salad, Mac and cheese(cashew cheese), the steak sandwich and the meatball sub I was really hungry and wanted to try all the options which me and my friends all split and stayed stuffed! The outdoor seating was beautiful it was too cold to hang outside but in the spring summer I can only imagine how lovely it is. Great spot everyone paid around $30 and under which is ok for something like this. Also side note it is self seating and you order at the register and then food comes to you.

    The best steak sandwich
    Matt B.

    Incredible vegan meats, which make incredible vegan sandwiches. My wife & I ordered "the best vegan steak sandwich" ($18 plus tax) to split, which was pretty huge. The product they use for the "steak" is pretty incredible, tearing like real beef brisket, and marinated nicely, served with chimichurri, on fresh white, sesame seed-coated bread. Large portion and just delicious. Awesome spot.

The menu is stacked--sandwiches, hearty apps, macs, and cozy entrees that make you forget you're eating vegan. During my visit, they were running a Reuben sandwich special that seriously tempted me, but I went with the oyster mushroom calamari, and wow, the seasoning was spot on, and it could easily fool a seafood lover. My friend tried the seitan wings and was really impressed, even though he's usually not into mock meats. They came with super flavorful sauces and were definitely shareable. He also had the smash burger, which was a total win--savory, satisfying, and gave big diner vibes. We heard the milkshakes are amazing too, but we were too full to fit them in. Next time, for sure. Only downside? The service was on the slow side--we waited over 30 minutes between apps and mains. It's a popular spot, so some delay is understandable, but it was noticeable. Overall, I loved it and can't wait to go back with an emptier stomach and room for dessert.

I was a little disappointed to see the skirt steak from my first visit was no longer available, but that quickly disappeared once I tried the mofongo. The mofongo had bits of tempeh bacon mixed throughout and was topped with oyster mushrooms. The plantain was sweeter than the traditional green plantain mash I'm used to, but I actually loved that twist. The oyster mushrooms were seasoned so well they reminded me of chicharrón, while the tempeh bacon added the smoky, savory element that mofongo traditionally gets from pork cracklings. What really tied the dish together was the creamy coconut curry, which gave it a delicious Caribbean-inspired twist. The entire dish was creative, comforting, and incredibly flavorful. I'll definitely be back again soon.

I did wait about five minutes before someone greeted me. The restaurant wasn't busy, but it looked like the servers were also handling hosting duties. One was bringing food to a table while the other was closing out a check. Once someone was available, I was seated by a very friendly hostess. I ordered the chimichurri steak, and it was excellent. It was easily my favorite part of the meal, and I'd definitely order it again. The person I was with ordered the curry goat and substituted the roti for beans and rice. They really enjoyed it, but we both felt the portion was too small for the price. The quality was there, but I do think the serving could be a bit more generous. We also ordered an appetizer that disappeared almost as soon as it hit the table because it was so good. I also had the Island Onigiri, which I really enjoyed, along with a passion fruit drink that paired well with the meal. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. The only small thing I noticed was that the restaurant was a bit chilly, and I felt like my food cooled down pretty quickly because of it.  The music was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, and overall I had a really good experience. There are still quite a few things on the menu I want to try, so I'll definitely be back and will update this review after another visit.
