    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.

    Buffalo "chicken" on the left, veuben on the right, and Mac and cheese front and center
    Allison H.

    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!

    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

    Buffalo chickn salad

    The Savory Leaf Cafe is always a hit in my family. I've come here a handful of times and have never left disappointed. Once I started buying this salad, I can't stop! My non vegan family members LOVE the impossible burger. Staff is always very friendly! It's a must visit if you're in the Trenton area.

    The Original "Vibs" Vegan Ribs Lunch & Mac & Homemade Mac and Cheese Lunch
    Mara C.

    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!

    Homemade Mac and Cheese Lunch

    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.

    Buffalo "chicken" sandwich (I got mine on their ry bread, instead of the bun it comes with. Out of this world good!

    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

    Impossible Burger (good)
    CJ L.

    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.

    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

    Half of the Veuben Sandwich
    Dana D.

    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 :)

    The Famous Cheesesteak
    Tina H.

    Ordered the cheesesteak and the macaroni and cheese. The cheesesteak has thick chunks, nothing remotely like a cheesesteak. And the macaroni cheese is very watery. There maybe some other good things on the menu but this was a waste of$18 and a 25 min drive. Smh

    Veuben Sandwich on pressed roll (they were out of rye bread) and cheesesteak
    Olivia K.

    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! :)

This review is for the day event. There is also an after party that looked like a good time. Something I immediately noticed up arrival was the level of security provided at the event throughout the day. There was a police and security staff presence. You are throughly scanned with a metal detector to go inside or to the outdoor space. Your purse is open and looked through. Several individuals in line had pat downs. The security was very thorough and still friendly. A lot of effort goes into making this feel like safe space and I really appreciate that. The block party was happening this year! A DJ provided some great music throughout the day. Outside in State Street there were some amazing street vendors selling clothing, jewelry, and make up. Terri's tshirts had the most amazing shirts. Every item is hand made and unique. Most of his tshirts also had matching tie dye patterns on the front and back. I will definitely shop with him again. After shopping we headed inside and ordered some food. There is also a smoothie bar on the left side. You can get your food and drink medicated or non medicated. It's an extra $10 to get an item medicated with 300g of thc. You could not order off the regular menu for this event. Instead there was a whiteboard of specials to help with speeding up service. The food was amazing! Food took longer than expected but we didn't mind as we were enjoying the party. It was disappointing for two of us to have our food brought out after everyone else had finished eatting and bagged up. We had to remind the cashier twice we were missing food. It was 20-30 minutes after everyone else's food was served that the last meals arrived. Definitely an area of improvement for next year. After lunch we moved to the back lounge area and there were more vendors, but these were all cannabis products. The prices were insanely low. The variety of items to pick from was fun to check out. The gentleman selling the infused beverages was giving out free samples. Several vendors had samples as well but he and his product were most memorable. There back outdoor lounge had some very comfy looking outdoor furniture and a stage for performances. Next time I'd my bring my food there to eat. I always love the Street style art that's all over the facility. The decor is the best. They even decked out their ATM. If you are into cannabis this is really a cool spot to visit, especially on 4/20.

    My own experiences here tended to be in the 3.5 or higher range but I feel confident that rounding…read moreup to 4 is warranted. First of all, it is the closest takeout restaurant to the Civil courthouse( also known as the place where potential jurors come to check in and wait to be called) I love that they share a small storefront with a florist, but it does make for tight quarters, esp during the ordering and waiting process. And the customer service was top notch. My first visit was for a lunch order. It was difficult trying to read the specials of the day menu, let alone the standard menu. This was due to timing, several people were ordering and or waiting. Once chicken quesadillas caught my eye I stopped reading. My selection came out fairly quickly and was packaged with small containers of salsa Fresca and sour cream. But I'm pretty sure menu read that some type of salad was also included, this was left out. They were pretty good too, well seasoned pulled chicken and cheese, the flour tortillas were perfectly grilled and stayed that way even in the package. It was a nice serving and I would have really enjoyed had it come with a fresh and simple salad. I would order again as well. My next two visits were just for a pick me up bakery item. The pumpkin muffin was excellent. The chocolate chip one was not very good. Not enough chips and a dry texture. But during each trip the owner was right up front and being helpful and friendly to all. I feel that this spirit does go into the food that is prepared and served here. Good spot for locals, workers and even the confused juror.

Walk past their kitchen and it is Amoroso's Flower Shop, where you can still buy a bouquet of roses for your anniversary. Love the adaptive reuse of this old storefront on S. Broad Street, Trenton; right across from the very old courthouse. It is hard to find driving by, and there are seldom parking spaces within the surrounding area. But, if you work or live in the neighborhood, or go to the new civil or criminal courts, you can walk over and pick up soup, sandwich, breakfast muffin, etc., on your way to the office. It closes at 2:00 pm. Service is exemplary given how small the space is. The two friendlies who helped me out were attractive and efficient. One made up my grilled chicken chipotle wrap, while the other provided the history of the business and worked the register. Both were happy to pose for photos when I pulled out my Yelp screen after ordering. You can see the results. The lunch was very good. Fresh, quality ingredients and TLC. Plenty of stuffing for a large wrap. It was enough for two meals. @ $8.50, it was a spectacular deal. Too bad there is no place to sit, because the room is comfy in a cramped way, and it would be nice to absorb more atmosphere from the winsome workers.

The owner -- who I thought was a customer, and a few of the staff were outside of Crave making a video for their social media and I was completely unaware of what was going on. Instead of me having patiences, and figure out what was going on, I became a bit impatient and got a little frustrated, because I was trying to park (typical New Jerseyan). The owner explained to me what they were doing and instead of me being more understanding, I was a bit immature and had an attitude. I want to apologize for that! I was completely blown away with how amazing the food was. How friendly and knowledgeable the staff is, and the atmosphere in there makes you feel like you're in your little own oasis, not NJ! I got the Hungry Man bowl -- 10/10. -- Roasted potatoes served with broccoli, burnt carrots, cheddar cheese, bacon, chimichurri steak, drizzled in their basil pesto. Also 2 kids bowls, one was for my uncle because he can't eat large portions anymore. My son tore his up and once I got to UPenn and my uncle woke up from a nap he ate half.
