Very happy to have discovered this gem! I stopped here for lunch with my dad just after they opened at 11:30 am Thursday. It was quiet when we arrived, but more customers were streaming in by the time we left, many of whom seemed to be regulars and have a good relationship with the staff. Our waitress and the other staff were all really sweet. Besides their food menu, which caters to a variety of tastes and diets, they also have a cocktail menu, and extensive wine and tea menus. I really like that they can do lattes made to order (hot or iced, sweet or unsweetened) with any of the teas they offer - I got a tea latte with the Chocolate Cream Truffles tea. It was very pretty to look at (topped with foam and dusted with cocoa powder) and also tasted nice and smooth. My Tempeh Reuben and side of Kale Slaw were so good! All the individual components of the sandwich were tasty and together they were perfectly balanced. I was just so excited to see this on the menu because I love the Swiss cheese/kraut/sauce combination of the traditional Reuben but can't have the meat, so I was very happy to be able to enjoy it with tempeh. I had a taste of my dad's vegetarian chili too. It was very tasty and a little sweeter than most chilis which was interesting. I had a vegan chocolate cupcake for dessert. This was less "interesting" than the rest of the food I got but still good. The shredded coconut on top was a nice touch. Definitely a place I'd visit again! They also have dinner specials and occasional special brunches which I'd love to check out sometime. read more

I like this place. Lots of vegan options. Good coffee. Cute vibe. Friendly service. Affordable.

Food was good, but I had a really bad experience with the service and the manager. I went there for lunch last Friday, (Jan. 9th, 2026) and ordered a wrap and a bottle of beer. I asked if I could have the Mexican salsa sauce instead of Dijon mustard on my wrap. My server behind the bar, , (who is also the manager), said no problem, but there might be a few black beans in the sauce, she made no mention of any extra charge for simply using a different sauce. When she gave my check, she had added $5.50 , just for salsa instead of Dijon mustard . When I protested, and asked her to remove the charge, she refused, and was very rude to me. I didn't use bad language, or behave in a threatening manner. A female friend of hers, who was seated at a nearby table, with two men, joined in, and they both ganged up on me. Since I was using a credit card, I had no choice but to accept the added charge. I told her that what she was doing is a practice called "Padding" a check, to beef up the bill. I asked her if this is how she was trained, and her answer was, "I didn't have to be trained, this is how I do things" . I was in the middle of gathering together my belongings, and putting on my coat, to leave, and she came around the bar to my side, and said, "Let's go, you're not leaving fast enough", (Quote) I left, as soon as I had my coat on. She also said that there was a problem, a few days earlier, when I came in for a quick beer, before catching my bus. Well, guess what that "Problem" was ? The draft beer was totally flat, and warm, and all I did was let them know, and asked for a bottled beer instead. I did what any customer would reasonably be expected to do. Before I left, she told me, "Don't come back ". This is horrendous treatment of a customer, especially coming from a manager. P.S. Jan. 15th, 2026 - I am responding to a few points in yesterday's reply from the business owner to my complaint: 1. She said I was expecting an add on for free. This is erroneous, because I didn't even think of a different sandwich sauce as an "Add-On", which it should not be. 2. Saying I added Beyond sausage to my burrito, which is an "extra charge" Again, erroneous, Beyond wrap is $13.25, and Bean Burrito is $12.95, so it's fair to say that they're both the same price. What I actually ordered was the Beyond sausage wrap, and merely requested the Burrito sauce instead of Dijon mustard. What the manager did was bill me for a Bean Burrito, $12.95, and added a "side beyond sausage", and charged me an extra $5.50 for what was supposed to just be the Burrito sauce, which is not in my opinion a legitimate "Side". 3. Saying that I should have asked if there would be an "Up Charge". It's the responsibility of the server to let the customer know, that there will be extra charge, it's not the responsibility of a customer to ask. read more

I've been eating here since they first opened and it's always been outstanding. Trying to find somewhere with both vegetarian and gluten free options can be really hard, but they have both here! Even when it's packed full on trivia nights, the service is always excellent. The vegan nachos, tempeh Ruben sandwich, and the beyond sausage with peppers and onions are my favorite items. If you're looking for a place top go with friends that has a really nice atmosphere, lots of options for everyone, and is extremely affordable, this is your place! read more

We stopped in because the yelp reviews were so good, and WOW!! The cafe mocha lattes blew our socks off! I had a vanilla (sweetened, whole milk) and my best buddy had a chocolate cafe mocha (sweetened whole milk). Both were AMAZING - they remind fed me of vanilla cake and chocolate cake. How do they make them so good? Who is the coffee wizard? I'm very happy I found you and we will be back! read more

So grateful to come back to town to visit family and be able to eat delicious healthy vegan food! Place is cute and staff was so friendly and knowledgeable.

This is a great cafe that caters to people with a wide range of diets. They offer dishes with meat in addition to vegan and vegetarian options. I had a Beyond Meat sausage wrap - it was really good, with flavorful sauce. Service was also attentive and courteous. The café itself is also very spacious and nicely decorated. There's a sofa/sitting area in the back. I hope they do well - I would love to come back. It's a hidden gem. read more

I miss the Grapevine! Best staff, best food, best drinks. Always delicious vegan and vegetarian options. But lots off food for meat-eaters, too. So it's a great place when your dining group has mixed dietary needs. read more

I came to visit my friend in Johnson city for the weekend! She told me about this cafe so I looked up the menu... the reviews looked great! The cafe is very welcoming the staff and waitresses was very friendly... it's a small and intimate setting. I ordered the tempeh Ruben... it was delicious! The made it vegan for me because it comes with Swiss cheese so they swapped it out for vegan cheese. My friend ordered the dipper sliders she said the were good as well, and her daughter ordered the beyond sausage with onions and peppers it was also delicious. The only disappointment was the lemon drop martini... it was awful very weak and bitter, they were kind enough to take it off the bill. Overall great food and service!!! Definitely will come back! read more

I stopped in with my mother in law for lunch on a Wednesday. The place was pretty full, and I only noticed 3 people working. There was one lady cooking, one lady serving, and one lady floating around helping the cook and server. As busy as it was, these three ladies KILLED it! I was impressed with both the service and the food. The space is really cute too! I had the vegetarian Reuben, and would recommend it to anyone. read more

After following the Grapevine Cafe on Instagram for a while, I finally got to try it and it did not disappoint!

I'll be back again soon. Two thumbs up! read more

Love their food! Their Portobello Mushroom Panini is amazing. I have never had a bad meal.

Have enjoyed each vegan lunch and dinner I've had in this lovely setting. Staff is always so friendly and helpful. They outdid themselves when we dropped in without a reservation on Valentines Day. Not only did they let us take the one table they had left, but we were able to order and enjoy the seafood paella which was a special option they had available just for that day. We're looking forward to catching Kid Bess perform one of these many days we will return! read more

I went for dinner last night (8/23/17) with friend and was a little disappointed. On the plus side, at least there is some place on Main St in Johnson City that does not look like a complete dump. The resturant is very nice-looking inside. (However, I am not a big fan of the extra high tables and chairs.) The service is also very friendly. A bad sign was that from 6:00 to 7:30, there was only myself, my companion, and another couple in the restaurant. Seeing that made me wonder how much longer this place can stay in business. I had the Chicken Caprese on a bed of rice. The actual food was good, and it had a nice presentation, but my meal was not warm enough--which makes me suspect that it wasn't right out of the oven but rather had gone from frig to microwave. My companion did not complain about the mac-filled poetobello mushroom, so I imagine that was acceptable. I felt that the humus tasted a little off, and they definitely don't know how to make a scone. (I'm tempted to send them my recipe.) Overall, this place has great potential, but in such a depressed area (Sorry downtown Johnson City! But you look like the South Bronx circa 1988.) they may struggle. I'm glad I tried this restaurant, but I'd only go back to try them for lunch to see if that was better. I suspect that this might be more of a lunch place. read more

One of my favorite spots around here. Tons of vegan options and they usually have a daily special that is vegan. Their desserts are out of this world and most times vegan! Amazing service and owners - 10/10 recommend for vegans and meat eaters alike! read more

Wonderful surprise in a small quaint town. Great variety of options on menu, healthy, delicious and cool! So glad we found this place when we needed to stop for lunch on our way upstate. read more

I'm in love with this place! It's so nice to see cute little quality businesses popping up around the area. I have only visited twice so far but I plan on becoming a regular. I've come here with my best friends the past couple weeks for lunch and have been so impressed by the welcoming and happy vibes, the quick service and the fantastic lunches! So far I have enjoyed a turkey and pesto panini and a portobello mushroom sandwich. Sandwiches come with a side. I'd recommend the kale slaw. It's really tasty! They also carry NYS wines which I love. I do hope that people start to hear more about the Grapevine. I would love for this business to stick around for good! read more
