The crispy crabby patty was everything and then some! The flavor and texture didn't skip a beat. Truly a 10/10 and something I would return for. And their desserts, so many great options. Service was great ! Whom helped me was very nice. And although I did take out , the ambiance was welcoming! Very nicely done. My first time and definitely not my last. Thank youuu How Delish ! read more

I go here often enough and the customer service is amazing. They also have rewards and an app now so I recommend getting your points. Nice black-owned spot with variety of vegan options and it is clean. There's space to dine-in and they are open on Sundays. The energy is also open enough where strangers will have a convo while waiting. Coming from Brooklyn, I'm happy to have this spot so close to where I am now. Savory: My go-to is the chickpea tuna sandwich. I've tried it on a roll, long sub, and gluten-free... highly recommend the long sub. It's way too messy on the roll for me. Typically get it with the works. The potato salad is also very good most of the time (sometimes the potatoes are a little undercooked). I've also had the macaroni salad and the fried mushroom sandwich which are also good. I definitely enjoyed the thanksgiving special with stuffing (highly recommend that if they bring it back this year). Tip: if ordering a hero and you don't see yourself eating the entire thing in one sitting, I recommend requesting for the sandwich to not be cut so you can cut it evenly on your own For baked goods: the peach cobbler is good and it comes in a cute cup with a little spoon. I've also had the lemon cake & rum cake. Would order all 3 again. Would love to see donuts or cinnamon rolls (hopefully without cashews or walnuts due to my allergy). DRINKS: I haven't had a drink there that I would get again. The teas are overwhelmingly sweet; hibiscus punch was a lot like kool-aid to me. I also don't recommend the matcha if you are a matcha snob. Harper's Cafe is a great black-owned spot for a consistently good latte and they use quality matcha if you want quality nearby. Great spot with lots of options, especially if you're looking for a black-owned spot to support. read more

How Delish in West Orange is one of my favorite fully vegan spots, hands down. Their deli sandwiches are my go-to. Fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying!! It's the perfect lunch, and honestly the perfect beach day meal too. There's just something about a giant, delicious vegan sub that hits every time. A while back they hosted a soul food night with oyster mushrooms, mac and cheese, greens, the whole lineup, and it was amazing. But those deli subs are still the thing I keep coming back for. They're huge, filling, and just taste like someone really cared while putting them together. There's seating inside and a wall where you can write your name, which I think is such a cute touch. Makes the place feel personal and loved. I also tried their carrot cake at VegFest recently and it was delicious and moist. They had a pretty steady line of people the entire time, so clearly the vegan crowd knows what's up. The subs run around $20 and everything is made fresh to order, so expect to wait a bit. It's worth it. I'm definitely looking forward to going back soon!! read more

Great food, great atmosphere and service. I had a special on the menu: fried oyster hero sandwich with the works, lemonade ice tea and tiramisu. I got it as take out. Sandwich was delicious and even better after sitting in the fridge for another day. I ate one half and saved the other half for later. The tiramisu was rich, decadent and delicious. A bit pricey but I paid for top notch amazing quality. Also the dessert case looked so tempting. read more

Why isn't there a ten star button? My only complaint is that the sandwich was so delicious I burnt my mouth gobbling it down. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. I got a vegan sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on toast and I nearly cried with pleasure. It's the first really actually delicious, satisfying, non scary meal I've eaten at a restaurant. Kudos for knowing the right answers. Kind and friendly wait staff too. No photos, I gobbled my sandwich too fast. read more

The decor and vibe of this restaurant were super aesthetic. I'm grateful that there is a black owned business in the neighborhood and that there is a café to stop by to work from home but outside. I was surprised when I saw the prices of the food. I would definitely say that the prices are a higher than I'm used to seeing at cafés. We ordered the a hamburger and a cheeseburger for lunch with a Matcha latte, two mango iced teas, one iced tea lemonade, and the peach cheesecake. - my cheeseburger was all right. I wish the bread was smaller because it kept on sliding off of the meat. I would probably order it with American cheese next time. -The Matcha latte was delicious and just what I needed to caffeinate me throughout the rest of the day -the mango lemonade was more mango than lemonade, which was perfect and refreshing for the concert we were heading to. -iced tea lemonade tasted great, but was super sweet I know it's called a dessert shop, but I'm glad they had a lot more than desserts on the menu. This café is good for a work session hanging out with friends or hosting an event In terms of the service, one of the cashiers had horrible customer service while the other one was super kind and welcoming and knowledgeable about the food and the neighborhood. The first one kept flipping the menu upside down without saying a word to motion that they were no longer serving breakfast past 1pm. It would've been nice if she communicated with her words, but hopefully she'll evolve overtime and develop better customer service skills. All in all I would probably come back for drinks and to work read more

The staff make me feel like family. The shop is clean. The vibe is chill. The baked goods are delicious (special shout out for that brownie, it's moist and perfect). The paninis are BOMB.

Amazing gluten free and vegan cookies, cheesecakes and desserts. I found this place looking for dairy free cheesecake and I'm so glad I did.

I can't believe that I forgot to write the review! I was here a while ago and completely forgot! I truly apologize HD! Hmm, that first paragraph was from 2020 y'all......for shame! It is now Dec 2023 and I'm finally getting around to finishing the review. Why am I this way??? :-(((( Anywho, please forgive me and let me continue my review! The food here is excellent! This was the second time I visited this establishment and it didn't disappoint! We ordered so much food but no worries, it all got eaten! Waste not want not, don't believe in wasting food, especially if it's a lil pricey. I am in love with the breakfast sandwich and banana foster waffles! The chic'n and waffles were also Devine, perfectly seasoned and perfectly crispy. The lavender matcha...perfection ! I can go on and on about the goodies here but the best thing for you to do is try for yourself! That's all YELPies! Enjoy! read more

My partner is both gluten free and vegetarian. With the Clover app, I ordered a couple of desserts from How Delish HD to sample with him. - GF Pecan Pie Cheesecake Slice: I ordered extra pecans for an up-charge. They were really good. This cake wasn't my favorite though. - GF Caramel Cheesecake Slice: This was my favorite. If someone gave this to me without saying it was GF, I wouldn't have known because the texture and taste was on point for a cheesecake. - GF Tiramisu Cup: Best of the three items we ordered. It looks deceiving in size (smaller at first look) but pretty rich so the size makes sense. I was surprised by the number of GF options with the desserts. If you are looking for a substitute to the gluten version, I think How Delish does a good job! read more

Found this cute little diner in West Orange. Self service you order your food on the counter and they'll bring them over to you. Spacious room for small groups. They have so much varieties of Gluten free desserts/breakfast items which it was a PLUS for Boyfriend. Their breakfast was amazing. I got their Banana Foster waffles with caramelized bananas, pecans, cinnamon and drowning with a rich caramel sauce. /hash brown/ Mint Lime Ginger tea that was AMAZING DELICIOUS Boyfriend got their gluten free cinnamon sugar French toast, home fries, gluten free patty and coffee with oatmilk Everything was good, but the desserts are good too i was quite disappointed with the triple chocolate oreo cheesecake, but my bf's gluten free apple crisp cheesecake was delicious. I wish i had more They're only opens for lunch, breakfast but they have this Friday night pizza. Which i can't even wait to check out. We are sure definitely coming back soon.

I was in the area looking at wedding venues and wanted to grab a quick bite. I don't know the area very well so, of course, I looked up on Yelp a place with breakfast sandwiches, and How Delish HD came up with lots of good reviews. No parking lot but finding a street parking space was quick and easy. The inside decor of the restaurant is very cute and fun. We did not realize until we got inside that it was a vegan restaurant. I was plant-based in the past but no longer so it was a pleasant surprise. My partner on the other hand was not quite ecstatic about that because I promised him a typical breakfast sandwich haha. What we ordered: - Pastrami, Egg, and Cheese on a roll - Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on a biscuit - Fresh squeezed Orange Juice - Strawberry Shortcake Parfait I'd recommend getting your breakfast sandwich on a roll vs biscuit because as soon as it arrived it was already falling apart (shown in photos). I ended up eating the sandwich with a fork instead since the biscuit was very crumbly which kind of takes away from the whole idea of a sandwich. In the end, we were both satisfied with our food and it was very good but you should go in knowing you will not be getting the sandwich options that NJ is known for. The star of the show is definitely Strawberry Shortcake Parfait. We loved every bit of it! I look forward to going back and trying more of their dessert options. read more

This review is well overdue! I've visited How Delish a couple times and everything is delicious! I love that they sell deli sandwiches since it's hard to find something veggie friendly anywhere else. Their plant based menu has everything from BLT's to roast beef to hot pastrami along with breakfast items, desserts and so much more. Their desserts are TOP KNOTCH! Lemon cake, tiramisu, brownies, cookies, you name it. Every visit, the service is on point. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu items. You can pick up your order to go or dine-in. On my most recent visit, I brought my boyfriend (non-vegan) to try out their food and he loved it! Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, GF or none of the above, you'll enjoy everything about How Delish! read more

Hungry, I look for a Vegan meal to order through UberEats. I really like subs! I'm glad about finding another Vegan sub spot. The Roast Beef sandwich travels well (about fifty minutes) fresh from the eatery though the second half tastes good though not as good as when from a fresh wrap from the eatery with the juices dripping. The first half fresh reminds me of my first time having a sub from an eatery in elementary school (my pre-Vegan days) from the super long subs everyone has to/ share. The sub is huge. The bread is consistent so the juices don't soggy the bread. I feel like vinegar on the side is necessary if holding the second half for later (beyond thirty minutes after re-wrapping). The Hot Cocoa (w/ soy milk) is good, smooth and silky, with a sweetness just right. I like having a sub and hot cocoa spot. read more

Really enjoy coming to How Delish! Discovered them at the NJ Vegfest, but have since been to the shop several times. It's appropriately named as their sandwiches and desserts are absolutely delicious! Have tried a few of the sandwiches, potato salad and several desserts. Don't know how they make everything so good but are able to keep it vegan. Actually, delicious is an understatement about the desserts, they're kind of amazing. The cafe is simple and clean, the staff is nice and friendly, and there's parking on the street. You can dine in or take out. Oh, and the owner is a lovely woman, so very glad to support the business. read more

The food here is amazing! I recently went there to get my go-to sandwich, which is the hot pastrami with cheese. That day they didn't have any pastrami but they suggested another vegan meat, salami, which I haven't tried. Boy was I glad that they recommended it because it was definitely DE-LISH! And I also had try their cheeseburger, not like the beyond or the Impossible burger patty but it is also a winner in my book! I will be ordering it again! read more

Delicious entrees, sandwiches, and fantastic desserts! Wonderful ambience and staff! My new "go to" in Essex County!

The beginning and end of VEGAN NATION is here!!! I have been coming here religiously every single weekend for about almost 2 years. The staff is so hard working and pleasant. This includes but is not limited to the owner herself & her husband who work so hard to make things amazing every day. The quality here never lacks, the wait times are reasonable giving the amount of business that they get - which is a lot!! They have a wonderful menu with ample variety for all. Vegans / non vegans are heavily encouraged to visit this place & get wowed by their great food just like every person I have introduced to this location. The ambiance is gorgeous & community oriented; with several seating options including bar stools, large tables, & more intimate smaller tables. They have an online order option where you can pre order or even get their food delivered. (Granted that the distance is feasible delivery) Their pop up menus are extremely amazing because they never dissapoint & are always changing it up. Make sure you give them a try!! You will be hooked! Thank you guys so much for the continuous service, & amazing food. You are amazing!! read more

Not vegan but was definitely a fan! My friends recommended this place to me so I had to try it out. I am open to eating vegan food, I love to experience any food I can as a foodie. Upon arriving there were a few people waiting, the ambiance was cute. They had menus and a digital menu that you can look at while waiting. I ordered the vegan Turkey sandwich with the works: lettuce, tomato, onion. The cheese was extra, I got the American cheese. I also ordered a small macaroni salad and the salted caramel cheesecake. I was told 25 minute wait, which was okay. I don't think they're doing dine in so I went home to eat. The sandwich was great! Definitely gave me the same texture as a regular Turkey sandwich, you can taste the difference but it wasn't a bad difference! Very tasty. The macaroni salad was good as well! And the cheesecake was also yummy! Would be coming back again and bringing my vegan friend! I also loved how they personalized my sandwich wrapper lol. read more

One of my cousins didn't realize the sandwiches didn't come with cheese. The rum cake is lit . The cashier asked if we wanted music and put on a great ol skool playlist for us. I will definitely be returning. Even before I leave for some rum cake . I forgot to take pictures cause I was so hungry but I will next time. read more

Italy in a cup! That's all I have to say about the Tiramisu. The food is also so so good... my favorite is the chickpea sandwich which reminds of a childhood favorite sandwich.

I'm definitely going back to try some different menu items. read more

Have been driving past this place for awhile and finally got the chance to stop in. I ordered a BLT with extra mustard. Now I'm not vegan but do dabble in it from time to time. I've had meatless bacon before and depending on the brand, it can have a particular taste. I was hoping that would not be the case here as I didn't know the brand they used (and didn't ask). Moreover I was really hungry. The employee was patient and pleasant, taking time to answer my questions. The actual store (which sits on a corner) is bigger than I thought as there is another side to it accessible thru a small alcove. I waited like 10-15 mins then got my sandwich. When I got into my car, I immediately opened it (after getting a couple of pics lol) and took a bite. It was surprisingly tasty. Almost like a Blimpie sandwich as it had the red onions, black pepper and a bit of oil and vinegar. The bacon was really good and was a perfect crisp. I did not get any cheese on it. I did ask for my sandwich to be toasted and it wasn't but I did not see that as a huge concern. I would definitely visit again and try some of their baked goods. read more

Let me say I love this spot; like for real, their regular sandwiches are a decent sub for "hero's" , desserts and soul food & pop ups are delicious! However, *sigh* I gotta be honest... The panini's are saltyyyyy! Listen, I'm not trying to be funny or degrade the business, but whatever they use to either grill the panini or whatever must be adding saltiness, I couldn't even finish it! You can see I even took some of the "meat" off since we know the processed "meats" are salty in their own, man I still couldn't eat it. Make no mistake, I know what I sign up for when I decide to get a mock meat sandwich, but no this is beyond salty! I gave the other half to my friend & they gagged & tossed it. Please y'all, like adjust something. All taste buds are different & usually I wouldn't wanna leave this review, but this panini was $20, like, it should be edible. I even asked for no bacon and it was STILL too much on its own, it's like high blood pressure waiting to happen :( I hope it gets better. read more

Wooooah! That BLT sandwich tho. So here's what happened: Last time I came here, I had a few issues and I wasn't pleased; mostly with the service. The owner reached out to me to apologize and tell me she was implementing changes to improve the areas her employees were lacking in. She also invited me back so that I could experience the difference. I finally made it over there today. The last couple of times I was there, I had the chickpea tuna and that was always delicious; the issue was never with the food. This time I decided to try their BLT and Omg!! Woooah! I can't even begin to describe how good it was!! I'm not Vegan but everyone thinks I am :-) I eat at Vegan establishments and gave up eating meat about 2 years ago for health reasons. The thing I miss most about meat is...you guessed it - bacon; but not anymore. Eating the BLT from How Delish reminded me that you can give up eating things that are bad for you and replace them with healthier plant-based alternatives...even if you're not vegan, like me. The BLT sandwich was truly amazing. I was dancing and humming the "Yum song" the entire time I ate it. In case you don't know what that tune is...it's generally what little kids are caught humming (and dancing) when eating something so tasty. Haha! Btw, I had a slice of rum cake and that too, was freaking incredible! Oh and about the improved service - Superb. I want to thank How Delish HD for offering excellent food and great service at affordable prices. My expectations have been exceeded. I'll be back for another BLT and I'll be trying out their other sandwiches, as well. read more

I had to take a visit after seeing fellow Yelpers posting gorgeous, unbelievably vegan treats! I'm not vegan but I appreciate the creativity & innovation with vegan desserts & dishes who make it hard to believe its vegan! During covid, no seating inside so pickup only at this time, but there are some outdoor seating! The bakery is on a busy residential road, street parking only avail, no meter & set up on a corner. Upon entering is lovely decorated stylish cafe! The ladies at the front were kind & had a display of ready made vegan treats, large cake size to share & mini individual treats to go. But I wanted the cheesecake dessert flight & made sure to wait 30mins to get it! It appears it's made-to-order! While I waited, I got invited to post up on their community wall-- such great vibes here. Can't wait till indoor dining opens. When it was ready, the treats were absolutely gorgeous! It was a little trip to take back home & the syrups melted just an itty bit but still intact. Surprisingly the whip cream didn't melt at all. My favorites were the peanut butter & the birthday cake, creme brulee with banana topping and the strawberry cheesecake... MMm!! The chocolate cakes were decadent & rich in cocoa. I loveeeed them all. Now I know a great place to enjoy with vegan friends or even a healthy fun treat! read more
