Was driving state to state. Looked for a vegan restaurant and got so lucky to experience such beautiful place. LGBT friendly and respect for all life (we came here two days in a row and brought different friends to share this amazing experience with.) Food was amazing the owner is great human service was exceptional, straws were made of paper , the cups were biodegradable (It must cost a fortune), even the toilet paper is best quality earth friendly, the soap is vegan not tested in animals, and there was such sensitive touch to decoration and everything else. If I ever travel this way again I make sure to come back. It was definitely one of the highlights of this trip. read more

This is the BEST Mediterranean food I've ever had. It lives rent free in both and my partners head. It's been months since we found this place during our travels. If this place wasn't 2 hours away I'd be there everyday. Great choice for vegans and vegetarians as well. They don't give you the same old boring food that you find on most plant based menus. I'd give them 10 stars just based off of creativity and menu size. The flavors were unmatched and I thank you for making great food for the people read more

I absolutely love this place!! Super cozy, welcoming spot and Ash obviously has a passion for not only preparing delicious, wholesome food for his costumers but also makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. I will definitely be coming back...oh and the Philly Cheesesteak is ridiculous btw. Thank you. read more

I had a great experience at this cute neighborhood cafe. I think there was only one person working and he did a great job - gave some good recommendations, made the food, and brought it out to me very quickly! I got lentil soup and flatbread with hummus, cucumber and tomato and it was exactly what I needed, healthy and satisfying. Perfect! read more

Atmosphere was very cozy, service was fantastic, and the food was delicious with lots of vegan options. Hummus was amazing!

UPDATE: ordered the same chocolate date smoothie. Got to the end of my drink and noticed a shard of plastic at the bottom. I would hope this is a one time error because mistakes happen. The owner runs this shop himself and had multiple orders to prepare at once. It did take a star off of my review. Still, the grapeleaves are amazing. Maybe just skip the smoothies. This place is amazing and I only got the privilege of trying it via doordash.Im Middle Eastern visiting from out of state (from California, don't judge me) and was not expecting to see Arabic food. Decided to give it a try. LISTEN TO ME. Order the grapeleaves. I was so shocked when I got mine and realized, "wait, these are handmade?!" Grapeleaves/ Dolmas take a long time to prepare so most places just sell the kind you can buy in the can. These are amazing, if you get something, order this. Now the rest of my order was still pretty good, nothing crazy. The thing with this place is it's all healthy. Expect your food to be a little bit dry because they bake things, not fry them. It's not bad, but like the pita chips on the fattoush (salad with cucumber, Arabic seasoning, tomato, and pita chips) were not my favorite. But I get the whole healthy thing they have going on. read more

SO many vegan options, from drinks to appetizers to meals to desserts! The iced mint tea is delicious. The vibe is calm - with warm mood lighting and quiet traditional Middle Eastern music. The layout is a bit strange at first - with a counter that you order at, then a hallway, then the cafe seating. read more

Awesome and delicious Vegan restaurant. This was my first time tasting vegan food. That was recommended by a vegan friend. It was better than I thought, matter of fact it was so good I kept coming back trying different things on the menu. I have never been disappointed and I strongly recommend you try the beet hummus if it's available. read more

Just ate at iCreate Cafe and I HAD to post a review right away. It's small and cozy, like your favorite coffee shop. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I had a Syrian salad with stuffed grape leaves and iced mint tea. My food arrived fast! I took a moment to smell all the amazing flavors coming off the table - garlic, mint, cucumber and vinegar. The veggies were fresh, firm and delicious. The stuffed grape leaves were served warm much to my delight. Give it a try, even if you're not Vegan/Vegetarian. You won't be disappointed! read more

Been plant based for 3 years now and since then I have been told so many times to come. My wife and I went tonight and the food was superb! The baba was 10 out of 10! I got a mushroom wrap and it was amazing. Wifey got the falafel wrap with a side of stuffed olive leaves. She's said the olives leaves were the best she has ever had. We will definitely be going back and we'll get the exact same order! Met Ash too, the owner, he was great and such a nice guy! Can't wait to go back! read more

LOOOOOVE this place! Have eaten here and gotten takeout a number of times over the years, and the food has been consistently EXCELLENT. My husband is from the Mediterranean and rates their food very highly - says it tastes like home. I was so glad to see they are still open despite COVID. We called ahead with our order, and were told we'd be able to eat outside. It was a beautiful fall day for al fresco dining. We had ma'aneesh zeytoun, Fava bean salad, and a bunch of sides. All SO good. I'd give 10 stars if I could. Go, you won't regret it (if you love Mediterranean food, vegan food, good coffee... i could go on and on). read more

Súper cool vibe inside, wonderful food and great business all together. I would definitely recommend for anyone who likes to try new things

Wow! I was so pleasantly surprised by this little diamond in the rough! I am transitioning to vegan food and trying new places...this has by far been the most delicious and impressive vegan cafe I've visited. A wonderful selection of food and very warm service..you can tell they truly make their food with love. I tried the "vegan cheesteak" (basically black beans with mushrooms onions and peppers..with vegan cheese.) AMAZING!!!! Absolutely delicious. My only issue is...I don't live closer! I was just visiting Pottstown for the day. But I may make the trip from Philly every one in awhile just to come here. I definitely recommend this place, 2 thumbs up!! read more

iCreate Cafe - Special of the days: "Cheesestake" delicious!!! - Cafes Near Me - Pottstown, Pennsylvania

Loved it. The first time we went, We ordered a whole lot of salads and soups. Everything was very fresh and delicious. As my husband says, it is rare that I agree to eat at a restaurant in this part of Pennsylvania more than once and I'm glad to report that this is place I have returned to a few times and will continue to visit. read more

The food is good it just took a long time. But I would still continue to go there. The guy was nice.

Wonderful food! The owner is fantastic!!! If you're ever looking for good food from someone who takes environmental impact and diet seriously, this is the place! read more

Such innovation in these times gives me hope for the future after all. Ash took his skills in training and management AND cooking and combined them into something unique. iCreate Cafe is one street back from High Street, along tree-shaded King Street, in a renovated home. Don't be scared by the hand-drawn Romney campaign poster at the army recruiter next door. The front is cozy hang-out living room space as well as the location of the tiny kitchen. As you wander further in, you see other areas with different personalities: small training rooms with computers and whiteboards, a cafe table area, and more sofas and chairs which look perfect for a book discussion. Beautiful colors and decor and lots of art too. Ash offers an interesting collection of classes: Arabic language, resume writing, animation, WordPress, and web design stuck in my head, not things that are easily gotten elsewhere. He said an 8-hour class is about $200, so it also seems very affordable and a different format than local colleges. Such a warm inviting place made me consider classes I could both take and teach here. But most people would not stop by just to check out classes, and that is where the food comes in. I did not get to try his coffee, but you can see the raves on here. He offers an array of healthy Mediterranean dishes, all vegetarian (mostly vegan) with a Syrian touch. My spouse had a baked falafel sandwich which I got in on, yum. The creamy babaganoush was a large portion (I'd eat this with a spoon); we had to take half home. I loved my freshly-made foul with fava beans, also a huge portion. He brought some other things out for us to sample, like a pesto he was trying out on sandwiches. Ash grows a lot of his own vegetables. There is a good selection of tea too. Nothing is fried. Maybe he will get in some desserts from Vegan Treats in Bethlehem. Prices are very affordable. We were stuffed with plenty to take home, for under $20. People seem to come in just to visit with Ash, and there is a lot of activity on his Fb page. We can't wait to go back, and we will be getting lots of takeout too, since someone in my family drives by here quite often. I wish we had this in Reading, but Pottstown is close enough. There is more going on in Pottstown than I thought, and their main street is wide and has a bike lane: ripe for renewal or already in its way? People are seeking affordable homes closer to Philly. If only there was a passenger train that went beyond the main line; these areas could really come alive. read more

1st and foremost: Ash is awesome. He's knowledgeable, creative, and puts love in his food. 2nd: his food is AMAAAAAAAZING!! I've tried several of his dishes, and everything is good. You can't go wrong here! 3rd: the cafe is soooo comfy-cozy. It's homey, decorative, and you feel like you're in someone's home as a guest. There's a little library of books to enjoy, and he runs documentaries on health/wellness/vegan on Fridays at 7. Awesome. :) simply fantastic. Lastly; YES!! It is a cafe! You can just come to eat!! read more

After visiting some family down in Pottstown, we wanted to find a vegan place to eat out. Enter iCreate cafe. Ash was so friendly, and makes the best falafel. I ordered babaganoush combo (with red pepper hummus), he brought it and my omnivorous children are my dinner... At least they saved the tasty Syrian coffee. My daughter ordered the black bean burger. She loved it, with the exception of the sauce, but a 9 yr old palette can only expect so much (I liked it). My 8 yr old ordered the falafel wrap. Before I blinked it was gone. Overall, very good food in a comfortable setting. Loved the decor, noticed a few nice pieces from IKEA, and shot some fun pics of his signs. read more

Definitely a place that you need to dine in to enjoy the full experience. I really enjoy the creative space here along with the friendly vibe. I especially enjoyed the bean salad, sorry going blank on the official name of the salad. Because nothing is fried here the falafels taste was very different than what the group is used to, so it was not as expected. read more

ICreate serves authentic, fresh, healthy, vegan Syrian food. And I couldn't be happier with it. ICreate is couple blocks away from me and I go there once in a while for a quick bite. Such a nice atmosphere, really nice owner and I could sit there for hours. I would recommend this place to anyone who appreciates ethnic, homemade vegan food. read more

The best, personally crafted Middle Eastern food I have ever had. Interesting and unique ambiance as well.

They tend to not have much staff, so I've gone here a few times and hard a longer wait despite the place not being busy. That said, the food is excellent and should be a destination for everyone, but for vegans especially read more

AMAZING!!! Saw this place on DoorDash and ordered for lunch! SO happy I found this local gem and will definitely be ordering from here again! I'm not vegan but this could definitely make me start eating like one! read more

iCreate Cafe - 19. Falafel Wrap - Cafes Near Me - Pottstown, Pennsylvania

When I first discovered this amazing place, I was a gasp at the beauty and thoughtfulness put into this place this is not just an eating establishment, but social, artistic, expression, of healthy surroundings, as well as healthy [Delicious] food! The gentleman who owns the place really makes it all feel like home, only with a hanging out vide, real down to earth. The continuous flowing fountain accompanied by the soft, rhythm, and eclectic music, puts you in a relaxed mood. I recommend this place for anyone who wants a healthy and delicious treat, that will have you delighted. read more

I ate here with friends a couple months back. The atmosphere is interesting to say the least but the food is inventive and legit. My only gripe is that the falafel burger my husband ordered was super dry. Sometimes you have to evaluate whether what you are producing is putting style over substance. My panini however was moist and bursting with flavor. I would go back just to have it again. read more

This place is legit af. Frankly, I'm shocked that a place of this caliber exists where it does. Don't screw this up, Pottstown!!!

This place is great. It is been around for a long time, and for good reason. I love having a place to go to that has only healthy options. And it's delicious!. The service is exquisite and the employees are kind and respectful. I totally recommend the tabouli and pretty much everything else. read more

On the way from Reading to the Philly Premium Outlets I Yelp searched for a vegetarian restaurant. iCreate was one of our choices, I called ahead to inquire about the cafe. I was slightly confused at first, since the cafe offers classes, coffee and food, but soon discovered that iCreate is a novel idea! The owner was super duper friendly. The coffee was amazing, as was the food! I cannot say I've ever sampled Syrian cuisine before (very similar to Mediterranean or Lebanese), but Yum! Everything was so fresh, the fattoush salad had homegrown tomatoes! The babaganoush was blended and seasoned to perfection, not chunky and flavorless like many I've sampled. What a gem of a place! Really, everyone should be going here. The prices were reasonable, the atmosphere relaxing, and the food exceptional. All around I recommend iCreate! read more

This isn't just another Mediterranean restaurant. It's a very special place with delicious homemade food and a community atmosphere. There's lots going on here with movie nights, open mics, and other events. But most of all, it's the food that makes this place so unique. The very friendly owner makes all the food here. So in some ways you feel like you're going over to a friend's house for a meal. It amazes me how people will spend money on hummus in a container at a grocery store when they can get homemade hummus that is creamy and fresh at iCreate for about the same price. There aren't many places I can say this about, but everything I've had there has been excellent. Chickpea salad, mushroom salad, fattah -- all great. Both the hummus and the baba ghanoush are so so tasty. It's almost like you're having them for the first time because they taste so different than the dry and not-as-fresh versions you get at many other places. My personal favorite is the falafel wrap. Again, so different than what you usually get. It's so fresh and not dry and greasy like it is at too many other restaurants. The tahini sauce that it comes with is so so good. Can't get enough of it. It seems like so many places now have middle eastern food. Every diner and cafe seems to offer it. And it's often mediocre. So it's so amazing when you get The Real Deal here. It's authentic and you'll immediately be able to tell the difference. And there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Definitely worth the trip if you don't live nearby. read more

Decent food in Pottstown? I'm sold. Having family in the area, I have had a fair number of subpar pizza slices (ugh.) and terrible sandwiches (really, how can you kill a sandwich?) in the area, and didn't hold my breath for more than that. Having resigned myself to eat at Perkins (again!), I decided to boot up Yelp and see if anything was close by. iCreate popped up and was offering a $5 for $10 and had some decent reviews. I decided it was worth a try. Hey, it couldn't possibly be any worse than Icehouse. Went it, and it looked very different from what I expected, but the man behind the counter knew his food. The tahini was garlicky and tasty. The falafel was baked, not fried, and the pita was spot on. The man made very pleasant conversation, and when I told him that his sandwich rivaled the ones I buy in Manhattan, he was very pleased. In other words, if you're looking for some Middle Eastern tastes, give it a shot. read more

A friend and I were at the outlets about 10 miles away and were both hungry, so I fired up Yelp from my iPhone and searched for restaurants nearby that had vegan options, as my friend is vegan. First to come up was iCreate Cafe. A quick look down the menu while in the car, about to leave the parking lot and we both agreed we'd like to give it a shot. Neither of us are from around the area, so we left our fate to Yelpers who left reviews and the looks of the menu. It's in a quaint part of town, and upon entering has a warm atmosphere. Not sure if it's self seating, take-out or if there's seating in the back, we proclaimed we were new and not sure what to do. We were handed menus and spent a few minutes looking them over, then placed our orders and sat at a table near the door and the counter / prep area. Being the only ones in there at the time, the owner made small talk with us, asking how we found it, where we were from, so on. It's actually nice and refreshing when people ask these questions because it means they care about their customers and don't see them as just people coming to give them money. The food was prepared quickly, I had foul and my friend had falafel, we both got an order of grape leaves. Everything is fresh, really fresh, and we could see some of the prep work going on. Probably the best grape leaves I've ever had. Not soaked in heavy oil for a few days prior to serving, these were actually light and refreshing. I also ordered a Syrian coffee that was also excellent. It's a quirky little nook of a shop that I'd frequent far more often if I was in the neighborhood but will visit if & when I'm back down around that way. read more

Looks like I may be going against the masses here, but I did not enjoy this place at all. It was very uncomfortable from the moment I walked in the door. I didn't get much of a friendly welcome, nor much help with the menu. I asked for suggestion, got a half emotional response. I felt more like I was an inconvenience than a new and potentially returning customer. Ordered 2 falafel dishes, which I thought were $1 off on Fridays. I may or may not have gotten that deal...I wouldn't know since I never got a receipt or saw my bill itemized. The falafel was dry, and I'm pretty sure that my side of hummus was a container of tsaziki sauce. In the end, we hardly touched any of this food. That's a shame. I had high hopes for this place. read more

First off, this is not your traditional sit down restaurant. The setting is the first floor of a rowhouse with a couple of tables and a couch. This is not where you want to take someone on a first date for a quiet romantic time. We came here on here on a Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. and we were the only customers. Ash gave us lots of attention and answered all of our questions. We got a salad and a sandwich. The food was very good and the prices were great. And there is $5 yelp deal available! Definitely worth a return trip. read more
