Rude and unprofessional waitress, Slow service, but the food was good. We arrived at our 2:30 PM reservation excited to try this place out. After sitting there for some time, we didn't see a server approached us, I informed the hostess we had tickets for a show after lunch but I knew what we wanted to order, so the pleasant and welcoming hostess was kind enough to take our order and informed us that she is a waitress and training. When our server did finally approach us we informed her that we already placed our order, but we did have some questions about the gluten-free pizza options. After sitting for a very long time, someone who wasn't our server brought out the (wrong) dessert before the salad and pizza that we ordered. By that point, it had been 45 minutes just waiting. We waved down our server and ask how long for our food, she attempted to throw the kind hostess under the bus by saying that the hostess didn't explain or set expectations. She repeats this multiple times with a snarky attitude but what expectations she's talking about I don't know. She goes to the kitchen and returns and with an attitude saying that the chef told her to tell us that they are "not a quick service restaurant" Who expects to go to any restaurant and wait 45 minutes and not even the appetizer salad has come out! So one hour later, our food comes out. Our waitress never came back to the table. The hostess and other server had to help us by bringing the food out, getting to go boxes and even the check. She literally never came back to our table or looked in our direction... completely unprofessional, her and the chef. The food was good (harvest salad, spicy pizza, and tiramisu), but sadly we won't be returning due to the unpleasant nature of the waitress & chef. Thank you to the hostess and the other gentleman/ waiter that helped us. read more

Oleum - Half smoke and spice and fire starter - Vegan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Been here a couple times, For vegan it's really good but just to rate the food it's basic. Parking isn't bad on a slower night I walk from my house, but they have valet. Pasta was always very bland, and other than cheese there is nothing really to put on it. l guess that's the recipe. I get the soup with the batata harra. Brunch is definitely for a sweets person all the non sweet stuff tastes exactly the same. The portions are huge on the sweet stuff. Saja/Benu/Bean/Al lovely servers some others feel a bit awkward. The bar is nice there's some new people who kinda rubbed me the wrong way. The manager kind of runs around the floor at night, he should wear black to blend in if he is gonna run back and forth. The experience I have always depends on the server I get, but they are all really eager to please. I'd love to see it in two years! read more

We went there for dinner based on a recommendation as we're pescatarians. Ordered the Vodka sauce penne pasta it tasted fair but surprised that it didn't come with some sort of vegetable side dish pasta only for $24 we also ordered the Carrot/root appetizer which was tasty & my wife had the bean soup she also said it was good. The bread was extra, just saying a lot of pasta dishes with no vegetables Don't think I'll be back so quickly if every They did have pizzas 12 inch but in my opinion pricey $20+ read more

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not a vegan: food was absolutely amazing. One of the best meals I've had in Baltimore. I ate here right before they had their permanent location in the harbor so it was take out only, and I have to say for managing taking orders and running the kitchen the owner did a phenomenal job. The Eggplants had to have been my favorite, the coconut nectar drizzled on top was the perfect touch. Can't wait to try their permanent location next time I'm in town. read more

Everything was absolutely excellent. The food is simply to die for, as is the ambiance and service. Our bartender/server, Minnie, steered us to excellent apps, soup, and entrees.

One of the best meals I have had in a long time. I was skeptical about vegan but you would seriously never know it. Got the plant starter which had thick cuts of eggplant perfectly fried. It's so much food you could easily take home half and put it on spaghetti for a whole other meal. Potatoes had the perfect amount of spice and the pasta in the bucatini was cooked the ideal amount of al dente. Don't sleep on the matcha latte either. Nice outdoor tables and friendly service. Already planning my next trip. read more

Great overall experience. Waitress was incredible and food was all fantastic. The food came out timed perfectly. Appetizer and entrees were both hits. Highly recommend the wedge salad. read more

Amazing vegan food. I'm not a vegetarian but the food ranks as the best meal I've had in Baltimore. Split a pizza, wedge salad and eggplant dish. Cheese on pizza was very creamy so no worries if non vegans are in your group. Sat outside with view of the harbor. Server was very friendly and made great recommendations. read more

I came to this restaurant, hoping that I had a good day then my food was amazing. Trying a new restaurant. No support. Food was OK. A little blame plane service wasn't serving. I don't know how to put that but it wasn't doing a job. So it was OK I'm not gonna say it was the best. It was OK not good at all. I don't even know what to say. But other than that, the place look good. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find a vegan restaurant close to our hotel and decided to give it a try. They had a lot of options I'd never seen before at vegan places so I loved the different variety. It was in sort of a small corner of a mall or something which was a bit odd but fine. They had live music playing and honestly it was overwhelmingly loud for the space. Our sever was very friendly. We ordered the fried green tomatoes: delicious!, pizza 1/2 Margherita and 1/2 pepperoni: the crust was great but I didn't love the cheese or the pepperoni. Also it wasn't the normal marg style pizza that I was expecting. We ordered the butternut squash risotto with vegan chicken: this was really good. I couldn't tell the chicken was vegan at all! We ended with a tiramisu that was good. Overall, not my favorite vegan place but a great experience and I recommend! read more

After 6 visits in less than 3 weeks we can say this is a restaurant that is simultaneously sooo good and very exciting. It's so good because the food is consistently excellent and the service is experienced and enthusiastic. While like us, Oleum is 100% plant-based, our adult children are not vegan and they LOVE it. Oleum is so exciting because we know that this relentlessly energetic and creative chef/owner and her exciting new brand are headed for big things. We love the savory pumpkin soup, the amazing assortment of hummus options, the absurdly good pizzas, and the PERFECTLY prepared pastas. The young man cooking multiple kinds of pasta (in the open view section of the kitchen) has made us about 12 consecutive perfect al dente servings. Very impressive. And the desserts....one is better than the next but we think the carrot cake and tiramisu awesome. There is not a better tiramisu anywhere. This is a restaurant that deserves a first visit, begs for a second visit, and earns loyalty with a unique combination of friendliness, excellence, and enthusiasm. Cannot recommend more highly! read more

We had a great time dining at Oleum for the second time. Our server both times, Bean, is delightful and knowledgeable about all the courses and was able to answer questions for us as non-vegan diners. The cheese substitutes tasted authentic, and I loved the red pepper raviolis along with the fried eggplant. We loved the former restaurant in this location and were disappointed when it closed but decided to give Oleum a try and were not disappointed. We will be back! read more

The only healthy love life I've ever had started here. The food is so good with would make you question why vegan food isn't more popular. Great ambiance and warm welcoming staff. Even has a cafe with the tastiest baked goods! You're missing out if you haven't been here yet. read more

Unfortunately I did not take any photos...but let me just say, the food was AMAZING!!! Our server, Allie, was just as AMAZING, in addition to being knowledgeable. She gave perfect recommendations that did not disappoint. I had the Toum Raider and my friend had the Meat Lovers (both pizza). Follower up with Tiramisu...all of it, to die for. The owner (didn't get her name) was so very gracious, came over to say hi and thank me for my service. She is a military spouse. The ambiance was nice and I'm sure during the warmer months it's perfect! S.O. to all...especially the chef(s). We will definitely be back read more

Just visited Baltimore for a wedding. My husband and I were walking by Oleum thinking about finding some lunch when one of the waiters encouraged us to take a look at the menu. We are so glad he did! I ended up going back a second day with a friend it was so good. It's a small but cute space in a generally empty mall-like space right near the harbor. The dishes are vegan but this does not detract at all from the experience, presentation, or taste -- honestly I thought it really improved everything (I'm generally a fan of vegan spots). My husband could not stop talking about his love for the "chicken" pesto panini. I got the artichoke tomato pesto panini and must agree. Home made pesto ftw. The next day I enjoyed a margarita panini (excellent, creamy, melty vegan cheese) and my friend enjoyed the risotto. They offer fun Italian sodas and coffee drinks here, as well as a deliciousssss carrot cake. The food itself was good enough for five stars, but the service was even better. The servers were attentive, friendly, and happy to answer questions and share recommendations. I had a nice chat with multiple people working. My only regret is I don't live in Baltimore but please -- you must go here if you're in the area. read more

Ordered the chicken panni which came with chips my wife had pasta which came with chicken. We were both satisfied with both out meals . Mine with pack with meat and cheese threw out the whole sandwich. The customer service was top notch and the ambiance was nice different would recommend this place read more

The ambiance was great, along with the mocktails! Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. We ordered shortly after being seated, and it took about an hour/hour-and-a-half to get our food. Some of the main dishes came out before the appetizers did. The food was delicious once it finally came, but there was no real apology or explanation as to why it took so long. I know this is a newer restaurant, so I'm hoping they're just working out the kinks! read more

I ate here 4 times while in Baltimore for a conference. The food was so good I wanted to try everything. My favorite main was the miso mushroom bucatini. The server suggested I try with beyond steak and it was so good. My favorite side was the salatat Marrakech, so fresh and fruity. The desserts were divine as well. We tried the tiramisu and the triple chocolate torte. Highly recommend both, but my favorite was the tiramisu. Their lattes are also delicious. Hard to find a good vegan caramel, but the cookie butter latte hit it out of the park. Wish we had a restaurant like this back home! read more

Oleum - Dessert menu - Vegan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The food was flavorful and delicious. The prices were not bad, and the waitstaff was really lovely and helpful.

If you don't feel like reading everything: Don't go here expecting that if you try something and hate it off the first bite that they're going to take it off your bill. Whole story: My wife and I walked in for brunch on 6/22 and were pleased with Oleum's flexibility to get us seated. It was our first time so we ordered 3 different plates to share and 2 drinks. All of the food was delicious EXCEPT the biscuits and gravy. My wife and I both took a bite and immediately were put off by the taste of the biscuit and gravy separately and the dish combined. This is where things went down hill. I told our waiter that we both took a bite and that the dish was not good. He asked how it could be improved and we told him, he asked if there was any way for it to be remade but that would include changing the biscuit recipe all together. We then asked for it to be taken off our bill and long story short it was a mixture of "oh I have to ask the manager and they prob won't because you ate it". No prob, took the cost of the dish out of his tip since there was no effort. But it concerned my wife and I that the waiter was too nervous to speak up for his customers. read more

The Yelp listing is a little confusing, as this is a residential location, not a mall. Oleum was recommended by a nearby resident and it did not disappoint for Father's Day brunch. The cinnamon buns are ENORMOUS and delicious. I had the breakfast burrito and it was a tasty combination of avocado, potatoes and eggs. My wife had the mezze hummus, which was fresh, with wonderful hot Lebanese bread. We will be back. read more

Visited Oleum for early dinner. Their food is great, really rich and while plant based/vegan, it is crafted in a way where anybody (vegan, vegetarian, average don't really think about what I eat eater) would enjoy it. Their pastas are highly recommendable! read more

Oleum's food is so delicious and made with quality ingredients. We were staying at The Ivy hotel and found Oleum via Yelp. The food did not disappoint. Even via delivery the food was delivered hot and had not lost any of its character. The presentation in the carry out containers was great!! The fried eggplant had a delightful mix of flavors in each bite!! The margarita pizza had a delectable crust with fantastic fresh basil. The mushroom pasta was hearty without being heavy with multi layers of mushroom flavors. My husband absolutely loved the batatas and the flavors were divine. Next time we go to Baltimore, we will enjoy the vegan delights of Oleum!!! read more

My second trip to Oleum -- at their new Harborplace location -- was just as delicious as the first. Be sure to try the Toum Raider pizza, which is an absolute flavor bomb. I couldn't stop eating it! The pickup spot was a bit difficult to navigate to, as there isn't much parking, but Oleum provided clear directions and got the food out to me quickly. I will recommend Oleum again and again to anyone who will listen!! read more

Vegan food in a random plaza? Yep. Don't let the location deter you becuz the food at Oleum is fantastic. Never have I ever called a salad incredible but this mountain of vegetables was incredible, delicious, fresh, great combo of flavors paired with the rocket soup. Next day peppery pasta was great, filling & spicy. Tiramisu pancakes were huge, portion sizes are solid af. last but not least, Bean was a joy, great recommendations & awesome person in general. Now stop reading and go eat some vegan food. read more

I wasn't expecting much with it being a vegan restaurant but I was pleasantly surprised. I had heard so much hype from this restaurant that I had to try it. The establishment isn't new, we had been here with prior restaurants and love the decor overall theme. Our server was Anika (sp?) and she was so great. Gave us recommendations and overall was very attentive. We started with the cannellini tapas and the spicy potatoes (I don't remember the name) and both were great. There are options to increase the spice level, I like spicy food and I don't think there's a need to increase it...it's plenty spicy. I got the cremini bucatini as a main dish and my partner got the blackened Alfredo. Both were very flavorful, and our protein choice tasted as it was advertised - spicy "sausage" and "chicken" (it's a vegan restaurant, friends). We also got a pizza to try and to take home. We got the Ledo and the fire starter. The firestarter was really good, but I wasn't a fan of the ledo pizza. Just wasn't very flavorful. Overall and great experience and will definitely be back. We also ordered a pumpkin soup which didn't make it to the table, which in the end was fine because we wouldn't have been able to finish it. Haha read more

Seriously good eats! I remember back when vegan cheese used to be the butt of so many jokes, however one trip to oleum is all you need to change your preconceptions. It's a shame they're stuck in this tiny little corner of a shopping center (my guess is that the Atlas restaurant group buys up all the good real estate) because this place had the best food I've ever had in Baltimore. Their pesto paninis are out of this world with how creamy, sharp, and tangy they are. I had to double check with our waitress about everything being plant-based because it was just so mind blowing! read more

I went here with my husband last week for a date. I really had high hopes because of the reviews, but the un-cleanliness of the place was such a turn-off. High-end restaurants like this reflect not the workers themselves, but the owners. And whoever owns this establishment needs to learn how to mop. read more

There is magic occurring on Aliceanna Street in Fells Point. Somehow, through some kind of alchemy, humble plants are rendered into delicious dishes that cannot be distinguished from sausage, beef, chicken, cheese. Yes, this is a vegan restaurant. Don't go because it's vegan. Go because the food is delicious. We had the fried eggplant starter. Crispy crust with a creamy interior. The bucatini in mushroom sauce with added sausage fooled my husband, who thought he was eating meat. The pizzas are so yummy; crispy crust, delicious toppings. The pesto was so good. The space is inviting and service was great. Terrific addition to the diverse food scene in Fells Point. read more

I had an amazing brunch at Oleum. The food, service, and ambience were absolutely delightful. Looking forward to a return visit!

Great vegan food with lots of interesting options. Odd location inside a mall, but still decent.

I went here with my brother before a concert and the food and service were the absolute best! Benu was our server and he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. The food was served at the perfect temperature and we loved it all! Benu highly recommend that we enjoy the food family style because everything is served when ready. I highly recommend enjoying the meal this way to ensure the food is able to be consumed when served and avoid one person waiting longer for their meal. Thanks Benu and the rest of the Oleum staff for a great dining experience! read more

Miso Mushroom bucatini was amazing and tiramisu WOW. This is the 3rd time we've ordered from Oleum and everything is always so delicious. Sorry no photos the food disappeared too quickly. We will be ordering again soon read more
