I have been to multiple pure vegan cafe locations. Today I picked up some buffalo ranch fries, a breakfast chicken sandwich and a backyard burger and a PBJ smoothie. I have ordered some version of this before. The smoothie was great, I do love the fried chicken on the sandwich. The sauce makes it feel heavy and since it's just sauce and bread and chicken I ended up wiping some off. The fries were mainly buffalo! Backyard burger was good. I am glad they have multiple locations and have been branching out, but at the cost that takeout vegan food typically is, my hopes were higher! I'll be back to try it again. read more

Visiting NC for the weekend and found the best vegan spot! We ordered masala bowl and BBQ platter (September special). The platter was so amazing! If you are around the area, come and try it before September is over! If you are vegetarian or vegan, definitely try it out! The server was very nice and helpful when we are being indecisive with what to get! I wish I was staying in NC longer so I can try different menus as well too! read more

We visited Pure Vegan Café for the first time without knowing exactly what to expect, and we were pleasantly surprised to discover that it specializes in flavorful vegan Indian cuisine! For lunch, we tried the BBQ Platter, Masala Bowl, Golden Latte, and Chunky Monkey Smoothie. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and truly satisfying. A wise friend once told me that if you want authentic Indian food, look for a place where Indian families gather. Sure enough, we noticed some dining here--which reassured us that this spot is the real deal. And yes, the food absolutely lived up to that expectation! We'll definitely be coming back. If you're in the area and looking for a warm, inviting spot with tasty vegan options, this is a must-visit. Cheers! read more

Nutritious vegan food at a decent price. We stopped here for lunch and left happy and full. The lady working the counter (Veena?) was welcoming and helpful. It was our first time here so she provided insight on popular choices. We opted for the tikka burger ($10.99), breakfast burger ($12.99), and kale slaw ($4.50). We chose to sit outside and our meal was brought to us. The order was accurate and arrived quickly making it a good spot for short lunch breaks. A water station and more seating is available inside. We enjoyed each of the items but found the texture of the Tikka burger and the flavor of the kale slaw surprising. Although the tikka burger looks crispy, it's not at all. It's very soft. Not an issue if expected, but seeing a crispy burger while biting into a tender patty was disappointing. I really wanted that crunch. If I made this at home I'd put something with a crunchy texture on it like pickles, crispy onions, peppers, etc. Then the kale salad was drowned in dressing. I know it's slaw but it was too much. read more

This place is great if you have food allergies. I am not Vegan, but I like the fact I can eat the cheese here. I have the burger which is made with impossible meat, it was full of flavor the bun and the cheese were delicious. It was a bit pricy, but it had great flavor. The employee was very helpful and friendly; the outside tables were nice. The burger came with no sides - we ordered the kale salad- not my favorite- it was drowning in dressing; I didn't eat it. read more

AMAZING FOOD!!! I love this place so much! Came in for the vegan chickn club breakfast and my hubby got a chikn bacon ranch sandwich. He's not a vegan but he really enjoyed it and said the chikn had really good texture. Both our dishes were delicious, and the service was great. The ownership is friendly and welcoming, and the decor + ambience is lovely for dining in. We'll definitely keep coming back! give this place a try if you haven't yet!!! read more

Pure Vegan Café - Chik'n Bacon Ranch (NF) and Club Breakfast (****NEW****) - Vegan Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Enjoyed my visit here! Husband and I came here to try their vegan food for dinner on a Friday evening. The place was small, but had plenty of seating available. Our order also came out rather quickly too which was nice. I got the backyard burger, and he got the chicken sandwich and an order of chili fries, and we also got a jackfruit biriyani and a side order of Mac and cheese to share. My favorite was definitely my burger! It was super flavorful. I also loved my husband's chili fries. The portion was huge and we had to take most of it home! They were super fresh and hot! The Mac and cheez was good too, nice and creamy. I didn't like his chick'n sandwich as much as my burger, but chicken sandwich lovers would definitely enjoy it as it tasted like real chicken! My husband enjoyed it as well. We weren't too used to the flavor of jackfruit from our biriyni, but people who love spicy might like this dish. I would definitely come back again for burger and fries though, and would love to come during lunch to try their juices and mango lassi!! read more

The name doesn't make this obvious, but this place is a mix of Indian and more American style items. The American style trends more towards the fake meat and cheese kind of thing, while the Indian food is more classic to the cuisine. Stopping in for brunch, I got both an uttapam and a side of tofu scramble. The uttapam was good, but I wasn't sold that is was the best you'd be able to get in an area with as many Indian restaurants as the Triangle. The tofu scramble on the side had some curry spices and finely chopped vegetables and was quite scrumptious. Adding a chai resulted in a very spicy beverage with ginger and other zingy flavors and possibly some tea. I doubt you'd struggle to find this sort of Indian food done well around here, but if you're seeking vegan specifically, then this is the place to look. read more

I stopped in with a friend for brunch after our pedicure and was pleased to find a lot of gluten-free options. I opted for the strawberry waffles, which were pretty tasty, and the golden "latte" (I used quotes because there was no espresso). My friend ordered the acai bowl with a smoothie, and she like both. The staff member was helpful and made suggestions. read more

This was my first time eating here and I got it to go so no pictures, my bad. The gentleman that helped me was very friendly and patient with me as I ordered. I got the chick'n vindaloo and the Chicago hotdog. The vindaloo was good over all I could have done without the chick'n but the potatoes were top tier. The sauce had the right amount of spice but was a bit lacking in the vinegar taste that I so enjoy! Now the Chicago hotdog dog hit all the right notes. I could have eaten that several times. The restaurant was clean and empty to my surprise because the food is pretty good and that comes from someone who isn't a vegan. Happy eating! read more

Being new to Plant based foods we've decided to go out and try some vegan/plant based foods to help expand our dishes. I've tried a different restaurant before (not this one) and it wasn't good so I was nervous to try another place. And it's no regrets here. The food is delicious and VERY flavorful. We definitely will be back. read more

Wonderful and tasty food! I'm a life-long vegetarian, and I'm just so happy I found this place. I can pick anything off the menu, what a treat. :) I will definitely be returning read more

It's a quick option with breakfast/ brunch and lunch/dinner items. Operating hours are reasonable, food is okay. I've tried the chick'n sandwich as well as the buffalo sandwich, bbq sandwich which is pretty good if if you're ok with the texture and if not opt for jackfruit. Fried cauliflower lacked flavor when I had it and the sauces didn't help. The biryani rice for the price I wouldn't get again, plus it was too spicy which I don't think is noted on the menu. This has never been a spot for me but a quick vegan option since there are not too many options in this area. Also, the service is pretty quick every time I've been. read more

I ordered an impossible burger with toppings on the side. Unfortunately, I did not receive lettuce, tomato and pickle. I did receive a kale mixture and the ketchup, mustard, and garlicky sauce. Despite the omission of toppings the burger was good and the sweet potato fries. The sweet potatoes set in was a nice size, served hot. The carrot cupcake was delicious, but the portion was noticeable small. It was more like a half of a cupcake. The cauliflower wings was a large portion, but there was a dark seasoning on the cauliflower that overpowered the Buffaloe seasoning, which was quite tasty. As a vegan, it was a treat to eat here. Nice atmosphere. read more

Wandered into Pure Vegan cafe for lunch. It's a counter service place in a strip mall. It has several tables and a relaxing environment with lots of plants except for the too loud contemporary pop music that was blasting. The menu is large -- something for everyone. I'm not vegan but am gluten free and I could not say no to a gluten free Belgian waffle. I cannot even remember the last time I had a waffle! It came with strawberries, coconut cream and syrup. The menu advertised maple syrup but it was not. It was your basic syrup with main ingredient being corn syrup. The waffle was fabulous -- crispy on the outside but dense and moist on the inside. Perfection. I did not eat the coconut cream. Husband ordered the chicken and waffle and enjoyed his as well. We ate there and although our food was served on real plates the only cutlery was plastic. Metal flatware would have been better for cutting. Overall a decent spot and great place for vegans. read more

I think this place has changed ownership since the last time we came here. However I don't believe this has changed the quality of the food. This review will be short and sweet. I'm not a vegan but this place crush's making awesome vegan food. The buffalo sauce burger is may favorite burger here. Prices are fairly reasonable. The ambience is fine but could be worked on a bit more. Service was quick, we didn't wait more than about 5-8 minutes for our food. Will be back! read more

The food was fantastic ... service was quick and very friendly. Menu was varied with many different cuisine options. And it was VEGAN!!!

Very grateful for this restaurant in Brennan Station on Creedmoor Road (on the Chow side) when the Vegan relatives came to town recently. There were items that made non-Vegans happy as well. Order at the counter. Menu is large and enticing. Much of it is Indian inspired. Plenty of American options as well. They also have breakfast items all day and do smoothies. I tried the PVC Tikki, which is a burger made from potato, peas, carrot and spices, and toppings. Also got an order of sweet potato fries for the table. Husband tried the South of the Border Burger, which is an Impossible burger with toppings. Littles did the Strawberry Cream Waffle, one of whom made the mistake of pouring too much syrup on his, then couldn't eat it because it was "too sweet" LOL. Both types of fries were delicious. Others tried some of the Indian style offerings and loved them. I tasted the Samosa with potato & peas which comes with two sauces. It packed some heat and had lots of flavor. Dislikes: the drinks! Two "lemonades" for the kids were $17. They were bottled juices, so that was why, but it would have been nice to have some less expensive drink options. Didn't help that they forgot to bring them. Had to ask for them when the food arrived. No alcohol here, by the way. And my biggest dislike about the drinks is if you want water, they have small thin plastic cups that you pour yourself and no ice. Atmosphere is that of what it is, a counter-service restaurant. When they are preparing smoothies the blending is super loud. read more

I'm vegan. From out of town and ate here three days in a row. The food is very well seasoned, and great portion size. I ordered the drumsticks, chilli fries, brussels sprouts, chorizo tacos, chocolate chip cookies and sausage biscuit, with sea mango and the strawberry sea moss drinks. The wait time was not long. Very clean and extremely kind, personable and welcoming owner with excellent customer service. For my final day, the owner made sure my food was packed well for my travels back, which I greatly appreciated. I will return for my next visit to Raleigh. read more

The food is delicious! We've had the backyard burger it's his favorite and I enjoy as well! The fries are crispy but the sweet potatoes don't come crispy. I had the buffalo chik'n and the chik'n bacon ranch. Buffalo had too much sauce for me personally but the chik'n bacon ranch was delicious! I recommend adding pickles to any one that doesn't come with them! We shared a chili dog I believe will double check that and it was soooo goood! I'm not a fan of the sodas. I recommend the shakes/smoothies. I had the Java smoothie and it was so good I definitely want to get another! I highly recommend this place! Easy parking and clean location. Friendly staff and it's clean and nice inside. read more

Ever since I randomly stumbled across Pure Vegan's Cary location (now closed), it's been my go to vegan spot. I'm not a vegan but I absolutely love all the vegan options. I've always thought they had the most amazing smoothie bowls in the area.. So duh when I nearby I was in the area and decided to grab a smoothie bowl. I got there and I was informed that the smoothie machines were broken and have been broken for over 2 months. So there weren't any smoothies or fresh pressed juices available to order. They've been waiting for a tech-why a tech would take over 2 months idk. The disappointment in that news me to this write review in hopes that management sees it. Please fix those machines! lol no but seriously. Much love to all the other options there but the smoothie bowls are truly unmatched. The menu has changed a quite a bit since my first visit. Outside of the smoothies bowls/fresh pressed juices. The Chipotle bowl (taco salad) and samosas are highly recommended! read more

For vegans/people with food allergies, this spot is a flavorful oasis of choices! This restaurant has a 100% plant-based menu, with a strong influence of Indian cuisine as well as American dishes. The curry was very flavorful, and the texture of the chick'n was pleasant and close to "the real thing." Cold-pressed juices and smoothies are also available (the truly healthy kind). This spot is great for a quick lunch or dinner, offering inside and outside tables. read more

I'm not vegan so I admittedly hadn't stopped by here despite living nearby for a while. My mistake! I didn't realize they had smoothies and smoothie bowls until recently. Stopped in today to get a purple bowl and it was absolutely delicious! Super fresh and balanced and NOT overly sweet like most chain smoothie places in the area. $9.99 for a 16 oz bowl with three toppings plus granola which is also a great deal for the area. Service was very friendly as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Made a delivery order, we ordered the mac n cheese, chicken biscuit, chicken wings, Chilli hotdog, faloodas, juices, and banana nut muffin. Mac n cheese was lacking MAD flavor. Needed seasoning BAD. Chicken biscuit was good Chicken pieces were very tasty Chili hot dog was good Faloodas needed straws Juices were good Banana nut muffin - completely missing from the order Tried asking for a refund for the item that I didn't receive.

We arrived and walked to the counter to order. Immediately I noticed the 90 sanitation grade and wasn't pleased. But the food pics online looked nice. Another person entered and went to the cold food case directly next to where we were standing. Even though we were the only ones waiting to order and there was only one other table in the restaurant. (Which speaks volumes on a Sunday brunch time) The customer began speaking to the worker/s who didn't speak to us. And then began ordering his food. While we were standing there for a few minutes with no help. While they clearly saw us. We inquired what we needed to do to order and was told you order here (where we were standing). Clearly not since now we have been skipped over to order. Customer service is not their strong suit. Neither is cleanliness based on their sanitation grade. Would have loved to try the food but don't want to spend my money with someone who doesn't care about their service. read more

I had the kebab and side salad with the cilantro dressing.

I'm not going to lie, the Chik'N Sandwich (Delicious) made me a believer. I typically don't eat vegan "meat" options because of the taste, but this chicken was battered and seasoned to perfection. The Berry Blast smoothie was delicious and a little on the thicker side! This would be great in the AM! You can never go wrong with fries so I tried the Buffalo Ranch! I'm a waffle fries fan already so the Buffalo ranch drizzled on the top was like icing on the cake! I also tried the vegan brownie. It was moist which is a plus;however, I like my brownies a little crisp on the edges. The service was good and the food arrived quickly. I will be back soon! read more
