    Great food. Very clean & relaxing place. I ordered the Coach Malik which is: waffle, egg & sausage (vegan). It's was delicious.

    The food and owner are wonderful, I just wish there was a bit more room for the seating area. I recommend the Bob Marley bowl

    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.

    Love Caribbean? Come check out this place! Very nice owner and welcoming. They partner with a pizza…read morebusiness so don't be confused lol. I love oxtail Caribbean-style, and this dish did NOT disappoint. The oxtail was delicious and full of flavor, and the sauce paired perfectly with the rice and peas and a side of cabbage. They were also kind enough to bring out extra plantains... YUM! My husband ordered the fresh roti with curry chicken, and it was huge--definitely big enough to share. He also loved the oxtail egg roll; it looked super crunchy and absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back! Few tips: - Small parking lot but there's residential streets to park at - They accept Apple Pay - They serve cocoa bread with their patties!!! YES PLEASE! We will definitely be back! Thanks for the delicious lunch!

    While visiting friends I drive past this spot and knew I was having dinner here. You enter to…read morewonderful Caribbean music playing and are greeted my the kindest member of the team. There are multiple ways to view the menu which is helpful. You can eat in or carry out. They had a few vegan options which I appreciated. I grabbed the Naija Bowl and a lentil patty. The flavors sent me... I was ready to go back and stock up on them patties the next day but they are closed on Mondays. Let me tell you how next time I'm in Jersey I'm gonna have to get a catering size order of them patties with a side of Jamaican Ginger Beer and be left alone. Check this spot out!!! It's a must.

    I go here often enough and the customer service is amazing. They also have rewards and an app now…read moreso 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.

    The crispy crabby patty was everything and then some! The flavor and texture didn't skip a beat…read more 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 !
