This business is sadly closed now, but I really hope they return one day. So thankful for years of delicious vegan sandwiches. We would drive 40 minutes for those vegan breakfast sammies and cuban sandwiches. read more

That is one good bbq chick'n sandwich! They did make it taste like real meat. It had that nice fried crispiness to it. Also got empanadas and the vegan cheesesteak. Both were very well made. Service was decently fast and pleasant. It's a little pricy for the amount of food you get and there is only a couple of tight tables to sit at and they are next to the heat of the kitchen. Think next time we will get takeout from here. read more

This place is so convenient to order out from. This food is really good! I love their chickpea tuna salad especially.

I've been wanting to check this place out ever since it opened and finally got the chance today. I ordered the verbena, buffalo "chicken" sandwich, and mac and cheese- all to-go. As a huge fan of the Rachel sandwich (it's a Reuben with pastrami instead of corned beef), I really enjoyed the veuben. The sauerkraut and thousand island dressing were spot on! The buffalo chicken sandwich had a lot of hot sauce, which made it really flavorful but take not if you're used to a more mild buffalo sandwich. Unfortunately, the Mac and cheese was really bland. I've seen other reviews about how cheesy and delicious it was, but that was not at all my experience. Hopefully it was just an off day. The staff were super friendly and helpful. One thing I'd love to see is more menu options with vegetables, lentils, etc. as the base rather than meat substitutes. I will definitely be back! read more

While it won't replace the flavor and total robust enjoyment of a real cheesesteak for me, the vegan orientation of Savory Leaf Cafe is definitely a worthy alternative when seeking a healthier, more vegetarian diet. The shop is in the rear of the Trenton Farmers Market on Spruce Street, with an interesting menu mimicking meaty standards like ribs and bbq chicken done vegan with all plant ingredients. My "Famous Cheesesteak" looked authentic at first glance, but on closer inspection the seitan strips with sautéed onion, vegan cheese in thin baguette roll was a tan color with a firmer texture than grilled beef, and weaker cheesiness. Best part was the very good roll that held the sandwich well with firm crust and nice flavor. I liked it as a change of pace for a healthier meal, but not enough to seriously consider altering my diet for this on a regular basis. Definitely an "A" for solid effort. Service was friendly and welcoming of questions about the business and philosophy. It was entertaining to sit at their hightop and watch the world go by. Trenton Farmers Market is quite a show on weekend mornings in summer. read more

Buffalo chicken sandwiches the best. It never lets me down. I crave it when they're not open. read more

This food so non-vegan friendly. The meat alternatives were crazy real and tasted so good. Sweet potato chips too . The men working were real gems. Offered us samples of the cold brew which was awesome and he gave us mini muffins. Go here for an amazing vegan meal. Can't wait to go back. Post quarantine update: Went to the Trenton farmers market and had a great time. This was me and my sisters first time back here since November 2019 and wow it tasted even better than we remembered. Great place! Go if you can read more

I found this place after I went to a food festival. Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious and flavorful. I'm so happy to have a vegan spot near work!!! read more

I went to Savory Leaf Cafe to try out their vegan options. The Vibs (vegan ribs lol yes get in to it) were sooooo good. They were covered with the right amount of BBQ sauce over French fries. You can get them over greens or in a hoagie (I believe) but of course fries for me because yeah. I also ordered a Mac and cheese. The Mac was good just needed a bit more salt but it was very rich and creamy. If you go to the Trenton's farmer market, stop by Savory Leaf Cafe and enjoy your meal! read more

Savory Leaf Cafe - The Original "Vibs" Vegan Ribs Lunch & Mac & Homemade Mac and Cheese Lunch - Comfort Food Near Me - Lawrence, New Jersey

While it's in the corner of the Trenton Farmers Market, it's definitely worth a stop if you're plant-based or considering the plant-based lifestyle! I tried their vegan mac with violife cheese, which was surprisingly good, along with their banana chocolate chip bread. I didn't get a picture of that before I devoured it, but boy was it soft and perfectly baked! Definitely great treats and you wouldn't know that they were vegan other than the words on the menu saying so. I'd recommend for sure. read more

I tried this amazing hidden gem last time I was home from Brooklyn, visiting my parents. I had come to the Trenton Farmers Market with my mom and we were looking for a place to have some lunch. My first reaction as a vegan trained chef from NY...WOW! This place looks awesome! It's always the small places that have a big impact on us! I have my favorites in Brooklyn, NY do they me wrong but when I took a bite of their "Buffalo "Chicken" sandwich Holy Wow! It was one the best I've ever had! I was so stoked to have found another mouth watering vegan place, and only 15 minute driving distance from my parents house in Princeton, NJ! Bravo! Also, my mother got the roasted beet burger and we shared some fries! Overall 10 out of 10! I even had the pleasure of greeting and Meeting the owner! A delightful man, super humble about his awesome creations! Plus not to mention their staff is super helpful and understanding of food allergies! Which is a big plus plus for me as I have a severe tree nut allergy! I was so impressed! I can't wait to go back and try more menu items! Although, I have been craving the same sandwich I tried a few weeks back! So yum! Cheers! From Your New Customer, Chefanie read more

Savory Leaf Cafe - Buffalo "chicken" sandwich (I got mine on their ry bread, instead of the bun it comes with. Out of this world good! - Comfort Food Near Me - Lawrence, New Jersey

Conveniently located in the Amish Market all the way in the back, this quaint spot delivers on taste. I was only able to try the impossible burger which came on a very tasteful bun. The texture of the patty has the same consistency as beef and closely tastes like it as well. I enjoyed my meal.l which came with plain ruffles like chips and purple slaw which was also tasty. The prices are decent, $11.00 for the burger. Wait time was about 20 minutes. Don't plan to dine in if you're coming during lunch as it's limited seating 4 tables with 2 chairs. The two staff were friendly and welcoming. I'd come here again to try other items on the menu. read more

A must try. Amazing for non-vegans because of the spot on meaty/oily flavor, if you have some family members you want to immerse into the world of vegan this is a good spot. This place is so delicious, awesome options. My friends and I got a reuben, cheesesteak, and a Cuban sandwich... all delicious. Vibes are so chill and staff is friendly and sweet. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. photos attached !!! Amazing quality food!!!!!!! VEGAN FOOD FOR THE WIN AS ALWAYS Update: Ordered the tofu scramble And the "lox" of Love bagel read more

My partner and I decided to look for vegan food in the area we were in and this place came up. Based off the reviews and menu, we were so excited! We got the Reuben, Cuban, and picadillo empanada. I honestly don't know if it was just an off day or maybe because it was later around 4pm, but everything lacked flavor. The fries were the best thing we ate that day. Picadillo empanada was pink ! Very disappointing. In terms of service, it was very much pay and eat. No outstanding friendly service or smiles given. We weren't brought out our food and the individual who seemed to be in charge did not greet or ask us if our food was okay. The ambiance is great because it is located inside a farmers market with tons of little vendors to check out. If you happen to be there when they offer wine tasting, definitely give it a try! The woman representing Terhune orchards was lovely. read more

These guys are pretty new at the Trenton Farmer's Market, and I just tried them today for the first time. Awesome! I got the Veuben which came with sweet potato chips and coleslaw, and a cookie. So tasty! The folks who work here are super friendly too, too :) read more

I've been going to the Trenton Farmer's Market for over a year now. This is the first time I tried The Savory Leaf because the menu looked interesting and hey - it's in the farmer's market, so how much closer to real ingredients can you get? I had the Farmer's Market Burger. Absolutely delicious! Wish I took a picture of the "burger" because looked as good as it tasted, but sadly I snarfed it down before I thought of that! Service was fast and friendly as well. Will definitely stop by again. read more

Absolute perfection. So far I have tried the cheesesteak (added hot peppers), and the Roast Beet and NoTurky Seitan Hoagie. O. M. G-- so insanely delicious. Really friendly and efficient service. Vegan or not, highly recommend! read more

Coming from out of town intending to explore nearby Princeton found this in the Farmer's Market. Last business at the end if coming inside of the main entrance. We ordered the Reuben and ribs sandwich and a Mac and cheese (which we had to take another to go). The Mac and cheese first of all was so cheeeesy delicious. Had the old school Mac and cheese packaged noodles but with a yummy vegan cheesy taste. The service is fast and personable. The staff even gave us some local gems all throughout New Jersey. The ribs was delicious. The Reuben was okay, had a good ratio of sauerkraut. Overall, a great destination with so many variety fruits and vegetables and vendors in one area. read more

Went here after looking up vegan food in my area and I was pleasantly surprised! I love the fact that they offer vegan cheesesteak, it was so good! I also tried the veuben sandwich which might've had too much sauerkraut but it was good nonetheless. They were out of a lot of items but they explained that they would be closed the next few days which was why they were trying to empty out their inventory. Although that was a little inconvenient I appreciate the fact that they seem to care about the fight against food waste. Will be coming back! :) read more

Holy smokes awesome food to satisfy your taste buds (Omg) out of this world ,try it yours self you won't be disappointed at all .

Love the vegan Rubens from here! They're always kind and pretty fast too. Highly recommend!

Had the all day breakfast sandwich and fries from their food truck at the Holland Ridge Farm, delicious. I foolishly asked if the egg that was on it would have a runny yolk, the gentleman reminded me that this was a vegan egg. The sandwich was hot, the brioche was beautifully toasted and light, the Violife cheese that they use melted like real cheese and the egg had an amazing texture and fluffiness. The fries were lightly seasoned and crispy. Best part, for being vegan food truck food, it was amazingly and reasonably priced! Would definitely stop by the flagship Cafe if I was ever in the area! read more

We ordered Togo from here for the first time and split, as a family the vegan cheesesteak, Cuban, and Reuben sandwiches with some fries and Mac and cheese, and all were delicious!! Personally I'm loving the Cuban. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Been slowly trying to go vegan and this is my go to spot to get food from... I've had almost everything on the menu trying new stuff every weekend and it's all amazing I have yet to be disappointed from them. Amazing food and super friendly staff. Even if you're not vegan you'd love it it's worth the try. I've tricked a few of my friends into trying their food and they didn't believe me when I said it was plant based read more

Amazing place. The Reuben sandwich and the cheesesteak are the best versions I've ever had regardless of having meat or being vegan. Very friendly staff. I would eat here everyday if I could read more

The food here is amazing!!! I had the vegan cheesesteak and it was cooked so well. The flavor was amazing! I had the mac and cheese as well I was not a fan of that but the flavor was very good!! I will order again!! Being vegan in this area is hard to find the food you can eat and enjoy, but this is the place to be!! Thank you so much! read more

Very good amazing vegan food. All fake meat. Healthy food options. Nice soup and bread. Very good staff.

This place is awesome I easily come once a week and it makes me so happy that there's a good vegan spot around here. I think my only other option if I'm too lazy to cook is the Indian place at TCNJ but I'd honestly prefer to give my money to a spot that's 100% vegan. That being said, I wish they would add some califlower bites because those would go great with the sauce that they put on the "Chick'n" sandwich. read more

Absolutely adore this little place and their mission to bring good Food to good Souls! Our area has needed a vegan place for so long. My family has tried the Veuben, Cuban, and Vibs. They were all delicious. The employees are always attentive and kind. We will definitely be back! read more
