Peacefood is an OG vegan staple in New York, and with all the new vegan spots opening up, it's sometimes easy to put Peacefood on the back burner. My most recent visit reminded me why I love Peacefood so much. This location near Union Square is incredibly spacious and unlike many ny restaurants, there's actually room between tables so that you aren't listening in on your neighbor's conversation. I came in the midst of a snowstorm and the staff was incredibly welcoming, offering spots to hang our coats and letting us sit as long as we needed. On weekends they have cinnamon rolls that are warm, soft and have plenty of cinnamon flavor throughout - definitely get if you're there on a Saturday or Sunday. Weekend or not, the bakery case is consistently filled with great options, haven't had a treat I didn't enjoy here. I tried the burger which was served on focaccia bread and plenty of fries. The fries were seasoned well and the burger was a beyond patty stacked with sprouts, onions, tomatoes, pickles, and peppers. The PFC tenders were also great; they were essentially "chicken" tenders which we got with both their ranch and chipotle sauces. The tenders were adorned with lemon wedges and shredded carrot which was a bit odd, but was easy to put to the side. The serving sizes here are generous and the price was quite reasonable, especially compared to similar vegan fare. If you're debating going to Peacefood, this is your sign to stop thinking and have your next meal here! read more

Peacefood - Cinnamon Bun (FRIDAY, SATURDAY, & SUNDAY ONLY) - Vegan Near Me - New York, New York

SERVICE - located near union square - spacious interior with seating for larger or smaller groups - pick up counter in the front displaying pastries and cakes - servers are friendly and welcoming - ambiance good for a semi casual meal MENU - diverse selection of appetizers, entrees, and sweets - all vegan/vegetarian - average price FOOD - ginger turmeric soy latte (9/10): steamed soy milk with turmeric and ginger. This was such a cozy and warming beverage for a chilly day. The ingredients are simple so each one is strong. It usually comes sweetened with agave but I requested an unsweetened version. Since it had latte in the name I was under the impression it was caffeinated but it has no espresso in it. - carrot cake (9/10): two layers carrot cake with a decadent creamy filling and generous layer of frosting. This was one of their more popular desserts and it did not disappoint. The cake layer is moist and studded with walnuts and dried pineapple for added texture and flavor. The icing is creamy though was a bit too sweet when I had it on its own. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! I want to try the entrees as well before giving it a final ranking. read more

I've loved Peacefood for years. I got one of the specials - a panini with roasted vegetables, pesto, and a red pepper sauce, and added tempeh to this. It came with a side of salad or fries. This sandwich was huge and delicious. I didn't get dessert this time but everything in the dessert case is excellent! read more

Clean and classy establishment. Left here feeling nourished. The wontons were absolutely delicious and super soft. The pan seared "steak" was amazing!!!! So so good. I wish I personally picked that for my meal. I went with the oyster mushroom dish, which was also great! Martha was our server, who was attentive and knowledgeable. Thanks Martha! Can't wait to come back and visit! read more

One of the more Reliable , consistent and authentic vegan/ vegetarian spots left in Greenwich Village. Food is always homemade and prepared from scratch. Soups are delicious. The bakery items and desserts ate spectacular. My favorite is the vegan confetti vanilla birthday cake. Some favorite soups are cream of broccoli, cream of pumpkin and vegetable mushroom barley. The ginger turmeric latte will warm you up on a cold winter day. Some of my favorite dishes are the thin crust potato, mushroom pizza, pumpkin quiche, chick pea fries, and the miso tahini sprout sandwich. Highly recommend 10/10. read more

Picked up Cesar Salad to go, absolutely delicious! Also had their chocolate chip cookie sandwich, not as sweet as I expected to be. I will definitely be back to try more! read more

We went in for takeout. They were pleasant and quick, and the key lime pie and strawberry shortcake were well packed and delicious. Worth a visit, though the prices are a bit high. read more

Local friend took me here. Beautiful place, not very noisy, menu has inventive items and comfort foods, which we ordered, all vegan but hard to tell. Great pastries, I hear, and the chocolate cheesecake proved it. Informative servers, just the right amount of attention. Looks like a great New York place. read more

Peacefood is enjoyable! I came here for lunch and they have a nice menu! We ordered the miso tahini sprouts sandwich, the Japanese pumpkin sandwich, and a side of cheesy fries. I found the miso tahini sandwich to be nice, but a little bland and the bread was a little stiff. I really enjoyed the veggies chosen as the filling like the sprouts, but it wasn't AMAZING. The Japanese pumpkin sandwich is definitely the better sandwich option on the menu and really different! I would recommend that one more. It has just the right amount of sweetness. The cheesy fries were standard but a nice comfort food! I appreciate how this restaurant offers more cozy eats! For dessert, we ordered the carrot cake and chocolate cake. Of note, the slices are pretty large which I appreciate since it's ~$10/slice! The carrot cake had a really good flavor and interesting components like walnuts! I also loved the frosting since the cake itself is not overpoweringly sweet, so it's just right. I think my only complaint is that the first layer was undercooked/slightly mushy, and the bottom layer was properly cooked. The flavor was great, but the inconsistency of the texture was a bit off putting. The chocolate cake was visually beautiful, but it had a really grainy texture so this was a bit dry. However, I think the desserts stood out more in terms of flavor! In terms of service, the staff were super friendly and quick!! I love the concept, the vibe, and the extensive vegan and gluten-free options! Overall, I think the food was just okay, so I would not be RUSHING back to eat here again. But I would try it again and order differently :) read more

Always satisfying. Great soups and salads lots of varied things to try. The atmosphere is simple but chic. Thisnis a vegan classic in NYC.

Our vegan friends recommended Peacefood, and it exceeded our expectations. The ambiance was charming, and I loved the art on the walls. The food was comforting and delicious. I tried the miso wonton soup and raw lasagna, and I appreciated knowing that the dishes were prepared with care and thoughtfulness. Being gluten-free and dairy-free, I enjoyed the lasagna. Although it wasn't served warm (because it's raw), the flavor and texture were enjoyable. They don't serve alcoholic beverages, but they do have a great selection of teas, and their coffee is quite strong, a perfect complement to their scrumptious desserts. We ended our meal with carrot cake and peanut butter cheesecake. I loved the icing-to-cake ration of their carrot cake (they didn't scrimp!). The cheesecake wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated. They offer a wide selection of desserts, and I can't wait to try the other options. Above all, the staff were attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

The Servers here are Very Accommodating, they did Really Well choosing and preparing their team here, Very Welcoming and friendly! I try to buy my own Plant-Based Groceries from Whole Foods, because in my experience, especially tasting out at an assortment of Fine Dining Restaurants from Tampa Florida, Saint Petersburg Florida, and Here In Manhattan New York, I Don't Really lower my standards Unless the Service is just so good I give in a little When I'm There, or the Food is soo good I Ignore any weird personalities still showing through the personnel. I get it, Restaurants are a business, but Professionalism and putting love into your work{Serving like a butler OR Tasting and Cooking food within The Line you Know You'd still Love to Eat for Yourself} is what makes a business stand out Best... not any other strange quirks. I don't write reviews Too Often, but I Am Happy to Say that during my 3 Year Stay here in NYC before moving West of the U.S. Peacefood Cafe *Downtown* was one of the Few of my Favorites in terms of a Completely Plant-Based Menu ~ Restaurant. I Loved their PFC Tenders, and I brought a coworker from the Piers to try the food here, and he said... "I Thought this place was vegan!". Hahahaha the PFC Tenders were so good he thought it was just what they were imitating! I've tried a few other options on their menu which Were also Great, but I'll Add that Their Desserts are totally worth the price! I hated going into restaurants and ending with a Tiny Desert[Worst on dates and the girl is still hungry hehe] that costs more than what was given, and Peacefood Cafe Has Big Portioned Deserts. This Restaurant may not be on the Verge of Fine Dining, but for a Clean Kept, Large Cafe They Were Amazing. Bravo Peacefood Cafe! read more

I don't think you guys understand. Their PFC unchicken cutlet focaccia sandwich is the best sandwich I've ever had in my LIFE. The vegan chicken cutlet is truly unreal. Pair this heaven-in-a-sandwich with their spicy Szechuan wontons? You will ascend TO heaven. I kid you not I've ordered those exact two items probably 20 times in the past few months. Peacefood, you rock my world read more

This place is a wonderful find! The restaurant is clean, modern and comfortable. They don't make you feel rushed. I started with the Gingerade which was delicious! My entree was the Hong Kong BBQ, which was truly out of this world. I could eat there every day. read more

Since my last review in 2019, I have gone vegan and gone back here many many times over. Went yesterday for lunch with a colleague/friend and had the Japanese sweet potato sandwich which they serve with a radish salad. Delish. I usually don't do caffeine after 11 am or noon, but their turmeric ginger soy latte is so inviting on a cold day so couldn't resist. It was outstanding. Their service, as always, is friendly and efficient, even if a little ditzy :) but that is okay, it is part of the charm of this place. read more

Peace food was highly recommended by our host. The all vegan menu was full of items we had a hard time imagining what they would be like. We kept bringing the waiters back to ask more questions. As it was, it took most of an hour to order and quite awhile to prepare and serve. But it was worth it though we were very full and it was late so we'll have to save the delicious desserts for another time. I ordered the pfc cutlet with mashed potatoes, cauliflower and covered in a marinara sauce which as delicious as it was generous. My partner had the Beech mushrooms with veggies and a round mound of brown rice (not the most appetizing way of presenting. It also was generous and tasty. We were able to have quite a bit to take home to add to a meal at $54! read more

I absolutely love Peacefood Cafe! Here's my list of orders: - PFC Seitan Medallion Focaccia Sandwich (substitute with PFC Unchicken Cutlet) - Chocolate Ganache - Ultimate Cheeseburger & Fries - Gingerade Enjoy your meal! read more

Perfect place to enjoy dessert! I think their tiramisu and carrot cake are literally spot on in the flavors, texture and presentation. I have been wanting to try other things here but every time I end up here I just want the tiramisu or carrot cake because they are so spot on and many other places that try similar items miss on the texture or flavor so I feel like I have to enjoy it where I can. Definitely recommend here for a great vegan dessert! read more

Came for lunch with low expectations given historical disappointing experiences with vegan (and gf) food but was blown away and will def be back. Visited for brunch and it wasn't too crowded so got a nice spacious seat towards the back. Staff were very attentive and had great explanations for each dish. Especially liked the chickpea fries (though a bit salty), dumplings and seitan sandwich. Pumpkin was also good and the carrot cake was moist and a larger portion than I expected. read more

Leaning into fall with @peacefoodnyc's seasonal menu full of warm and hearty dishes. Nothing screams comfort food than a plate of steak, mashed potatoes, and string beans. I'm a whole foods, plant-based type of vegan so I did not order this special. But a taste of it from my friend's plate had me shooketh. It had a deep, umami flavor. Clean. And the texture was natural. I want to say it was made out of mushroom. If you do know, please tell me. Else, I might just have to go back and order it for myself to find out. The mash and string beans just took it over the edge, with the potatoes soaking in that porcini mushroom gravy goodness and the sauteed beans adding a textured crunch. Layered in some sweets and closed the meal with a slice of the cashew cream cheesecake and peanut butter cheesecake served with a comforting mug of apple orange cider. Service was warm as always. It was a satisfying way to celebrate World Vegan Day. read more

I've been here several times and have had a variety of dishes. ThIs last time marks my first time in the main dinning: I usually opt for the bar. But this option is no longer open as the staff has taken it over. No worries. Service is almost always casual; like "oh hey, I'm headed to the kitchen, hungry?" but very friendly. Food sounds better then it actually turns out to be. Not bad but not great. I think they shine at desserts. The decor is lovely.. read more

I have been going to peacefood for more than 8 years now and it has always been my favorite vegan restaurant. Incredibly kind staff, speedy service, and amazing food. There is always ample seating and great ambiance for a family/friends dinner, date night, or solo meal. I always get the same two items, the pan fried Shanghai dumplings and the pfc tenders. The dumplings, which are my favorite dumplings in the city, have a bit thicker and chewier of a dough with a mushroom chive filling. Even as a mushroom-disliker, these are still incredible and would highly recommend. The chicken tenders are also a fan favorite, with non-vegan friends also enjoying them. If I had one recommendation for a change, I would love to see them use reusable metal cups for the dipping sauces rather than paper to generate less waste. Hope others continue to eat here and keep their business going, they deserve it! read more

Attention, all vegans, by curious vegans/vegetarians and carnivores. Please gather here! This restaurant offers cooked and raw food/dessert that is not overwhelming, and I love that as a vegan! The ambiance, the service and the positive vibes from the employees is inviting. Every individual that I've encountered at the restaurant had such a welcoming attitude. I got the chance to meet and chat with the owner for a bit and he was lovely. Down to earth for sure! The cashier was very helpful and prepared my to go orders with such care. He made sure that I was supplied with all the napkins and utensils needed. Handsome gentleman, I must say . The baker was sweet and made beautiful/tasty desserts for the restaurant. The pan seared dumplings and cinnamon buns are a must buy! They offer various types of cinnamon buns such as, espresso, tres leches, coconut and of course, the classic cinnamon bun. If you haven't already visited their two locations (Union Square and UWS), please do! They're very appreciative of your business, no matter the amount you paid and I love that. Also, be sure to check their Instagram page for daily specials. Thank-you Peacefood for keeping veganism alive and to the community, please help Peacefood to stay alive as well. Peace read more

We had the soup (pumpkin) and salad combo (Caesar) and the picnic plate, while my fiancé had the chili and seitan sandwich. Provided the rainy day in Manhattan, we were both so happy with our choice of this cozy cafe with our hot soup.

Oh my GAWD. This place is incredible. I had dinner alone and highly recommend the main dishes. The raw key lime pie was good. I went back the next day to try their strawberry shortcake and it did not disappoint. U had to split it in half and share it with my partner because it was so thick and dense. Run don't walk here.

Brought our young granddaughter for dinner here before going to see Blue Man Group; she's vegetarian so that made sense, as this place is vegan so she could have ordered anything from the menu. She was a happy camper! The 3 of us shared the chickpea fries as an appetizer and they were so good! I was expecting a plate of roasted chickpeas, BU it wasn't that. It was several long skinny rectangular French-fry lookalikes, served with a vegan ranch dipping sauce. The fries had a little spicy kick to them and she liked the dip (I'm not a ranch dressing fan, but that's just me). For entrees, she chose a salad from he appetizer menu, with quinoa and greens, and a sliced avocado (maybe half of a very large one?). She ate a lot of it and we took the rest with us which I enjoyed for breakfast a couple of days later, a little soggy but fine. I very much loved the raw lasagne. Thin slices of zucchini, eggplant, other veggies and what was probably a cashew cheese - this was delicious! My husband had some kind of cutlet teriyaki, which he really liked a lot. Dessert was called for (9-year-old!). We were all pretty full, so we ordered 2 of heir mini-brownies. OM!G, soooo chocolatey, so delicious! Go! read more

The spicy wonton special was fire! Wasn't a fan of the lentil soup -usually it's my favorite but this had a lot of dill and didn't work well with those wontons. Found myself wishing they had some sides to order because I'm a small plates person but I'll go with friends next time to explore more dishes in one sitting. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. read more

I ordered the Szechuan wonton and the dumplings and was pleasantly surprised by both. Food is delicious, great flavors, and everything here is vegan!!! Also ordered the peace bowl which I didn't try yet but it looks amazing. Great mix of flavors and colors and super healthy. read more

The other night I went on a terrible first date and despite that I still had an amazing meal. I don't know if there's a much better review that one can give than that. The chili fries are phenomenal. I almost filled up on that & the soup, but fortunately didn't and got to try more. The staff was so friendly and our waiter was so phenomenal. I would've rather been sitting at my table with them. Plus, the atmosphere is really great and the location so close to Union Square is perfect. I go to the comedy club around the corner often and I definitely plan on popping back in here for lunches and dinners in between sets. read more

Re-rating peacefood because it is truly a special place. The staff are friendly and ready to answer any questions. The food is consistently delicious. My current favorites is the burger and the dumplings. The smoothies are also yummy, especially the Bombay delight. I feel so sad that this place is struggling financially ~ rent in the city is so high and way too many important community restaurants have closed due to impossible expenses. Please consider eating here, being your friends and family (even if they are not vegan, they will like it! as attested by my carnivorous father). Hoping peacefood will be around to serve many more tasty & nourishing meals. read more

Good food and desserts! Carrot cake and key lime pie are delicious! Love the vibe. Very friendly staff.

The chickpea fries - holy moly. I am beyond obsessed. My friend and I split the chickpea fries and I'm so glad we did, although in retrospect we probably could have each gotten our order because they were amazing! The fries come with a vegan ranch that is also delicious. For my meal I got the sweet plantain lasagna and it was incredible. The portion sizes were big and I brought half of it home for lunch the next day. My friend go the parmesan rigatoni + pfc cutlet which is a tofu based cutlet. She loved that the rigatoni pasta was also mixed in with cauliflower and other veggies so the dish wasn't heavy. Upon entering we were warmly greeted by two staff members who gave us our choice of a table and promptly brought us waters. They were so kind and fun and it was great chatting with them throughout our meal. Service was incredibly prompt and we got our food quickly without feeling rushed. I love that the menu feels safe, because everything is vegan and the menu is clearly listed with gluten free options. Overall ambiance in Peacefood reminded me of a hotel lobby but the staff and food made up for the funky vibes. I feel like it could be a fun spot to grab lunch and read a book at or bring a laptop and do some work. I have a feeling Peacefood might be my new winter take-out go-to! read more
