I just had the best impossible burger I've ever had. Great food, not too expensive, the waitress was very nice. Great ambiance with good jazz music (Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, John Coltrane etc.). Overall great experience I recommend!! read more

excellently varied menu! lots of things here to choose from and drinks are all delicious. food itself is a bit sweet for my taste? like salty things came out sweet. could just be how they prepare the vegan ingredients and their culinary choices but not really my thing. kinda slow service. nice people though. pretty inside. read more

Couldn't figure out where to eat while at Central Park and decided on this healthy vegan spot! My friend got green tea and Buddah bowl. I ordered the fresh squeezed cucumber, apple, carrot juice and enchiladas! We are completely satisfied!!! Highly recommend!! Will be back read more

Tasteless under cooked salmon and "spinach" that looked like kale to me. Dumplings were okay but really disappointed with the rest!! read more

AMAZING food and customer service. It's my go-to restaurant. There are so many options to choose from. You don't have to be vegan or vegetarian to LOVE this place. read more

I absolutely love this place. Wonderful service tasty food never had a bad meal. Oh and maybe the best coffee I've ever had!

I woke up with a hankering for pancakes but have an egg allergy . I called and a very friendly woman confirmed they have vegan pancakes on the menu . They were delicious, perfect size , perfect amount and fluffy :) read more

Our New Year resolution is to stop eating meat so we are trying vegan places in our neighborhood. We ordered the buffalo chicken wings, impossible burger, avocado grain salad & sweet potato soup. The chicken wings blew our mind! Tastes exactly like the real thing. I do wish there were more than 3 per order. The burger also tasted like the real deal. Everything was fresh & we were satisfied with our meal. read more

Great food. Lots of choices and the best carrot cake ever. The chef and staff are wonderful.

Flawless. 11/10. I walked by the Greenwich Village location a million times as an undergrad at NYU, and for whatever reason I never gave it a try. Over ten years later, I recently moved to the UES and have been eating vegan fairly regularly (though not exclusively). Saw Quantum Leap pop up on Seamless tonight and decided to give it a try. It was nearly impossible to choose a meal from the insane selection of promising options, so I went for a variety. I was 20 minutes from my apartment when I placed the order and the food was there before I was. Got a bowl, a burrito, and a bao bun, and everything was beyond excellent. Fresh, filling, and flavorful. This place is locked in as my go-to vegan spot in the neighborhood. read more

Pad Thai and the lasagna was great. Large portions. Nice people serving us. Would go back.

I had the seitan platter and it was amazing! Super delicious and just a bit of spice. They also have vegan desserts (I'm taking one for later). Everyone was super nice and it was a great place to go to stay out of the rain. With the jazz music in the background I could easily sit here for hours with a book or journal. read more

Quantum Leap - Seitan platter - Vegetarian Near Me - New York, New York

Delicious food with great presentation and variety. Truly catering to the vegan or sometime vegan that loves great food.

This is a great little spot that I hope to come visit again soon! While I was originally concerned about options, the menu is very inclusive with chicken and salmon for non vegans. Really enjoyed the air baked fries, Japanese soba noodles with veggie dumplings, spring rolls, big leap burger, tofu bento box, and tacos. Very happily discovered the wonderful banana vanilla supreme shake, and my family was pleased with the pineapple berry coconut and peanut butter chocolate. The vanilla and chocolate are protein powders, so they can be swapped. There isn't much sitting space, but Jenny was happy to push tables together for us. Everything was fresh, even saw mushrooms being brought through the restaurant. read more

Quantum Leap - Big Leap Quinoa Burger and Crispy Veggie Spring Rolls - Vegetarian Near Me - New York, New York

Best. Veggie Burger. Ever. I was just about to take the tram to Roosevelt island but wanted to get something to eat before I went over. Using my eyes I looked around and but didn't see many good places and then just before I finished scanning I saw a small sign that said "Veggie burger". I went in and noticed the place was very relaxing and cute with a waitress to match. I ordered the veggie burger with fries and sure enough, it matched as well. I've never tasted a veggie burger so good. I told the waitress how I felt about the burger and mentioned that she must hear that a lot. She said that she hears the most about the impossible burger ( but I don't personally like impossible burgers). In addition to the great place and great taste , the service was great! In the age of terrible customer service, I just love good service read more

The best vegan/vegetarian food I have ever had. Probably the best food I've ever had. My whole family came half of which are non vegetarian and all plates were clean at the bed of the meal. The desserts are unbelievably good and the food is to die for. Wish we had pictures of the food but everything was eaten immediately. Great ambiance in a cute quiet spot. read more

Love that they have lots of vegan options from a variety of cuisine types! Sadly the fries were not that crispy and the guac I tried was definitely nearing expiration (kinda oxidized and tasted bitter). Would still go back! read more

the pancakes are oh so yummo. and the staff is friendly (Charlotte is a boss!) its a bit small inside and there's not much seating, but if it's not crowded, the atmosphere is chill read more

Great little spot that has some interesting vegetarian and vegan options as well as full menu of all types of food. Friendly staff and nice diner type seating - not a lot of tables to choose from, so you will be near others. read more

Yummy!!!! Great choice for vegans, vegetarians, and their friends! The service is great

Very solid veggie-friendly addition to the neighborhood. Uses many premade vegetarian basics (burgers/chick'n) and dresses them up in creative ways. If garlic bread and French fries had a baby = garlic fries. Nice service, low key atmosphere, cozy vibe. read more

Probably some of the best vegan food I've had. So delicious !! I got the Buffalo chicken wings and summer salad rolls and they were both incredible. Definitely the best imitation meat I've had and they even put it on a little stick so it's shaped like a wing the sauce is amazing and so is the dip. As for the salad rolls also INCREDIBLE, they have mushrooms in them which is a very fun addition and I always love when they have mint. The sauce is delicious. The food is also so affordable which I really appreciate. The quality is top notch! Can't wait to try more of the menu! read more

Ordered via Uber eats I got the nachos The portion size for $12 was huge. They were some of the best nachos I've had in so long and they are HEALTHY!!! This restaurant doesn't make u choose between satiety / taste and health, you can actually ENJOY healthier versions of some pretty unhealthy dishes and they actually taste just as good if not better than the unhealthy version read more

I had lunch at Quantum Leap Saturday, November 5, 2022 I was impressed the food was excellent. read more

Overpriced once you factor in 10% service fee on top of the delivery fee. I've ordered from from 1st Ave location last couple years but now fed up with reducing portion size and increasing prices. Vegan Buffalo wings went from 4 down to 3 wings but price went up +10%. Plenty of other examples. The food is really good but the decreasing portion size and fees on top of fees makes it not worth it. If anyone has any other vegetarian options UES, let me know. read more

I ordered pick up through an app I have, but changed my mind once I got there and asked if I can jsut have it there in the restaurant. I would have been fine eating it in the to go containers but the staff was very sweet and had the chef serve it how they would had I come in as a walk in customer. I had the salmon on fire lunch platter , which includes teriyaki salmon, brown rice, and veggies. If you're looking for good food that doesn't make you feel heavy, this is the spot!! Portions were also huge and veggies were everything from pumpkin to cauliflower to kale. The place itself is spacious compared to other spots in the area! read more

The food is incredible!! The tofu/tempeh is so flavorful and the produce is fresh and delicious. The service is fantastic as well! A new favorite read more

Wow! What a great dinner! Asked for suggestion and hit a home run! Had the vegan ginger soy chicken plate. The flavor was amazing! Also had a great glass of house wine. Service great! A vegetarian's treat!! The carnivore in the family ate the real chicken chipolte wrap and loved it too. Will definitely be back!! A true find!! read more

After a late class last Saturday, I was craving Mexican food, decided to try Quantum Leap on UES. The restaurant offers a healthy menu, vegetarian and some chicken and fish choices. I am not a vegetarian but I really like vegetarian food, like the Butcher's Daughter in LA. Started with the soup of the day which was split pea loaded with vegetables, great way to start dinner on a very cold evening. Had the vegan chili enchiladas with soy chorizo which were delicious! Finished with the walnut carrot cake. Thank you Jenny! for bringing your food and warmth to the neighborhood. read more

My boyfriend and I loved it so much we came back two days in a row! The menu has a great variety of items to satisfy allllll of your cravings (vegan and non-vegan). We ordered the impossible burger and vegan philly cheesesteak for lunch the first day and came back the next day for brunch!! Their big breakfast was just as delicious. Both days we received impeccable service. We will definitely return soon! We will have something different every single time!! We are sooooo happy to have found this amazing restaurant!! read more

This has been my long standing favorite spot for ages. The original vegan spot that has a really good and healthy vegan food (there aren't many in nyc..). They recently started serving chicken and wild salmon. The salmon was delicious and would definitely order again. I honestly would go here almost every day if I lived nearby. So good and such a great menu read more

Overpriced for the amount of food and quality. A cheesesteak was $16 and was barely filled and had no flavor. Vegan wings were good but extremely small. Overall we paid $60 for two people to eat and it wasn't worth the price at all. read more

Absolutely incredible food...I chose the vegetarian Buffalo chicken burger and from bun to protein to toppings, it was almost a spiritual experience (that good!) My wife went with the big leap quinoa burger and was similarly astounded. Please also consider ordering the garlic fries--delicious, too! read more

This place is a treasure. I am not by any stretch of the imagination vegan or vegetarian...I just love good food. The menu is exhaustive and the food amazing. I've never had anything bad here, and always walk out appreciating not just the quality, but also the feeling of having eaten something a little healthier than usual. Today I brought a friend (also non-vegan/vegetarian) for brunch and she was blown away too. Blueberry pancakes, hash browns, chicken apple sausage (yes they have meat dishes), berry mint lemonade...what's not to love. The service is attentive and sweet, and the price point also very reasonable. read more

This is my go to for many years. I followed them as they moved to different locations. Its always fresh healthy solid food that tastes amazing. And the owners are super nice and aim to accommodate your diet needs. read more

Love this place! Such tasty fresh and affordable food that makes you feel healthy and happy. Highly recommend the nachos, burgers, and the chocolate mousse pie was amazing too. The owner is lovely and gets pleasure seeing her customers enjoy the food. Comfortable, casual. Highly recommend. read more

Been meaning to try Quantum Leap since I moved to the UES 2 years ago. I recently started ordering from the restaurant and can't stop. The food here is excellent in taste and quality. I tried the herb salmon entry, salmon burger, black bean burger, and soy chicken katsu with curried lentil rice. Not only is the food tasty, it leaves me feeling good afterwards. The desserts are also worth trying. I had the blueberry peach pie, apple walnut cake and chocolate moose cake. I personally loved the blueberry peach pie and apple walnut cake. Will be continuing to order from this restaurant to try other menu items. read more

I'm a vegetarian and my friend is vegan so,we decided to try this place out. We started off with the vegan buffalo wild wings they were pretty good but it was a little awkward trying to split the third one so it would've been nice to have four. I had the crispy soy chicken sandwich, which I think might have been a frozen patty, but it still tasted pretty good with all the fixins. My friend had The skinny Quinoa taco bowl, which she said was good. The women serving up was really sweet and everything came out pretty quick. I would definitely come back to this place, especially since my boyfriend is not a vegetarian and they have options for both of us. read more

We ordered for take out. Food was good but we were expecting tastier food or more quantity for that price range. Specifically, the size of French fries for $8 was a joke. That being said, this place is a good vegan option in the neighborhood. Just too pricy. read more
