Went here with a vegetarian friend, who is also not a huge fan of the veggie burgers that taste too…read moremuch like meat. It was a risk, because you know how vegetarians can get about cheese (I'm vegan now. When I used to be vegetarian, I'd get annoyed if a meal didn't have cheese in it, or if it had vegan cheese. I've noticed that a lot of my currently vegetarian friends are the same.) , but I figured that he would be cool about it, because he knew that there wasn't much else in the area that I could eat that had a/c. I love my city, but the restaurants need to get their a/c game in order. This is a slightly elevated burger joint. The options are meant to be on the healthier side, so they do stuff like sweet potato fries or a side salad with the burgers instead of potato fries. Here's my tip: get the salad. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much flavour they can pack into a small but mighty green salad with some dressing on the side. It'll mean that you can avoid eating sweet potatoes (unless you like sweet potato, in which case, you're at the right place). That said, the side salad was excellent. Crisp greens, and a few bonus veg, with a creamy tasting dressing. No complaints, 5 stars. My friend got the black bean burger, and I got the chickpea burger. We got the burgers exactly a said on the menu with no customisation. This was a very VERY good choice. The chefs at Brick City Vegan know what they're doing, and they absolutely season the heck out of the food. Everything tasted so good, and the table fell silent as we demolished the food in front of us in the cool a/c. There was a napkin dispenser on the table, which you will need, because the burgers are generously sauced, and a bit of a mess to eat. Who cares? The food is incredible, and just the right amount of filling. Both of us ate every last morsel, and left feeling satisfied. For both of our burgers, I think it was less than $30 grand total after taxes. Not the cheapest meal, but certainly not at all expensive by vegan standards.

-First Impression- Came in around lunch time, wasn't very…read morebusy. Everything seemed very clean and neat. -Food- Fresh and delicious! My salad was big enough to split into two, maybe even three servings, but I'm greedy lol. I chose the build your own salad option so I basically added one of everything lmao -Service- Staff was friendly and efficient. My order was ready extremely fast (orders through Uber Eats, took a 5 minute walk to pick it up) -Price- Portion sizes definitely justify the price. It's hard to tell the actual size of the salad is tough to judge from pictures, but trust, it's pretty big! -Did Not Like- Not applicable! -Noteworthy- I was only physically in the store for about 40 seconds to pick up my food, but I was pretty impressed in that short amount of time -Recommend- Would definitely order from here if you're looking for something healthy and filling. I'll be back soon for sure!

Location is great and the inside is very modern and cozy. Has some nice seating inside, a very nice and clean bathroom , and some outside seating during the nice weather. Overall food has always been consistently good here and the flavors always hit. The variety on the menu is great too because you are not limited just to salad. Their chicken and breakfast wraps are great and very filling. The salads are all great of course and the protein options are all tasty. One of my favorite things here is coming for the coffee which is made from ORGANIC coffee beans and even the whole milk they use is organic. Can't find that anywhere else in Jersey City...if you can please let me know! And lastly, the staff is all amazing and very kind. They are always very welcoming and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. Definitely recommend for everyone to try this location. Will be back soon to have another tasty latte

I was checking out the menu from outside and it sort of reminded me of Panera in terms of…read moreselection, which evoked negative emotions (given how bad the quality of Panera has gotten recently). And the prices are closer to Sweetgreen than JustSalad, which is fine. But the macros looked solid and it's close to Base, so I was on the fence. One of the staff was kind enough to chat me through the menu and our nutrition plans, so I told myself I would give it a shot. It greatly exceeded my expectations. Think back to before Panera sold out to Corporate cost-minimizing, it was even notably better than that. The spicy calabrian caesar is simply a perfect lunch. The lettuce was crisp, the chicken was fresh, the chilis were thin-sliced and pickled to add a more delicate heat and acidity, the parmesan is shaved reggiano to add a bold cheesy bite that can stand up to the spicy caesar dressing. And I had crispy shallots and quinoa on mine, which was excellent. Even the croutons were fresh. I read a little online and it's clear by the attention to the food and the community fundraising / philanthropy that these are owners that are looking to invest in the neighborhood and the community, not checking some excel spreadsheet on their phone from a resort in Italy (looking at you, Panera. Nobody made you sell out). What a fantastic experience. I'm about to move about a mile away, and after writing this review I'm going to grab a pair of running shoes so I can continue to stop by after workouts. I could use the cardio anyway.
