This is one of our favorite places and we feel so lucky that it's so local because it eats like something you'd have to drive out to an art district in the city or something like that. Every single thing we've tried has blown all others out of the water and a lot of the things they offer you can't get anywhere else around here at all. They are friendly and real. We feel like we are with friends when we go here. We love the vibe inside. We will go here when we are having a bad day because we know it'll be better after this. We will go here when we are having a really good day because it's the best way to celebrate. We absolutely cannot wait til they reopen. read more

I only tried one thing here which was the mushroom nuggets and french fries. Was kinda a wait and not too long I got the meal, it was ok. I kid you NOT the french fries tasted like McDonald's fries 1 to 1. I don't know if that's a good things or bad but it's the truth. (I used to eat a lot of them back then not anymore) The mushroom nuggets was fine, a bit too oily tho. Only leaving a 3 star cause it did seem a little... unsanitary than expected but I don't want to bash. also there is seating, but limited seats. read more

A hidden gem! A must try for delicious cholesterol free chicken strips or burgers :) Vegan plant based chicken strips made of mushrooms are the perfect comfort food. The crisp savory moist strips were the savory dinner dish I wanted. Family also loved, absolutely loved the cheeseburgers! We also enjoyed the cauliflower buffalo wings. Great 'breading' - crispy not soggy. Service was great! Good was quick and fresh! Smoothies were also a perfect match. Fresh fruit, all vegan. Small 'cafe' casual fast food (ish) with a few small tables. A must try for all! read more

Found this small cafe that's all plant based if you couldn't tell already. It certainly is one of the more unique places in Naperville. Vegan Bar is actually a juice bar and restaurant. Bad thing is it can be expensive. This is ironic because it resembles fast food mostly. Cramped place inside where you order at the counter. It's only got a few tables so it seems most people get it to go. The menu resembles a typical fast food restaurant. Has a whole bunch of options. There's too much to get, and it's a good thing it's expensive because I would be getting tons of stuff. It's about $9 for a smoothie, of which there's a few flavors. Last time I got the almond milk smoothie. It's made with almonds, bananas, and dates. They also have a few lemonades. It's about $8 for appetizers. These include the Cauliflower Bites, which make a plain vegetable actually palatable. It's about $12 for each main item. The prices certainly add up. A good one is the Barbecue Lion's Mane Nuggets. These are made with the mushrooms and almost taste meaty for sure. Also has burgers. Last time I got the Bean Cheeseburger With Fries. This is made with black beans and has the typical toppings. Has a ton more on the menu. They add more to it so it now has tons of stuff. Great tasting food and plenty of things to get that's not made from animals. It's closed Mondays. There's of course the fact that everything here is okay for vegans. read more

Space is small with few tables and chairs. It's right next to DMV. The person at the registrar was nice and helped me make a decision. The coffee machine was not working, so I could not order hot drinks. I ordered shrimp and chicken tenders with Buffalo sauce. Both come with fries, which was good. Shrimp was good, but batter was lacking seasoning and was a little thick for my taste. read more

This tiny spot is well worth seeking out! There is limited but clean & pleasant seating. Friendly service & an impressive menu - it's nice to see so much more than veggie burgers & impossible meat. My daughter had the nachos, with homemade "cheez" sauce & fresh tomatoes & jalapeños. I had the "chkn" wrap with kale, tomato & cucumber. The chkn was perfectly seasoned mushrooms in a sweet mustard sauce. Everything was delicious. I just wish I lived closer so I could order from there more often!! read more

Such a great little hole in the wall place for vegan food! I got the buffalo cauliflower tacos and they were absolutely delicious. There was only one person cooking, running the counter, and serving food, so there was a bit of a wait but he was so friendly and we didn't mind waiting at all for the exceptional food! My husband enjoyed a vegan burger and he is a meat lover through and through so you know when he compliments the taste of vegan food that it really is good. If I find myself back in Naperville I will definitely want to retur read more

I had to go to the DMV, so stopped in for a quick coffee. I was surprised to see it here and as I walked in the place looked very small but had quite a few customers! I quickly placed my order and requested French vanilla but they only had two or three flavors (maybe just update the menu to reflect), so just went with caramel out of the syrups they had. He was about to refund me saying the machine didn't work, but it eventually did and the cappuccino tasted great! I love when new vegan options appear nearby and would definitely consider coming back and trying some food if I'm in the area (the other five star reviews are awesome and super encouraging) :) read more

Food was awesome and being a vegetarian we had lot of options for food. Will definitely recommend people.

I wanted to try something new on my way back home and this place has been on my bucket list for a while with some of my out of state vegan friends wanted my thoughts on this establishment. The location of this place is absolutely perfect! It's in between a DMV and a bar and you got this great healthy alternative. I wanted to try a bit of everything so I tried their potato fries, Avacado - cauliflower lettuce wrap and their nutty banana smoothie. The food didn't take too long to cook but it definitely was very memorable with every bite. I'm not vegan either but it's definitely one of the best vegan joints I've been too. Dine in part of the building is small but there's somewhat of an outdoor area. Staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable of their menu tons of great items to take home. I definitely want to come back and try their chili read more

I ordered the 2 piece fish plate made with banana blossoms, and the lions mane nuggets. Both were sooo delicious! I didn't even give myself time to take pics. I don't think I will ever go back to eating real fish. Both portions were very generous too! The lady that took my order was very nice and helpful. She didn't rush me when I was deciding on what to order. She brought my food outside to me while I was enjoying weather! This is my third time here, and will continue to choose them everytime! Thanks Vegan Bar !! read more

Great offerings of non-inflammatory vegan foods. They make from scratch so please no gripping over the time it takes to prepare your food. It's best to call in and then pick up, not a particularly comfortable place to sit and dine. read more

This was THE best vegan food we've had since moving to Naperville! It hit all the high points including mouth savoring flavor, delightful service, and the best buffalo wings ever! My son loved his avocado cheeseburger and I devoured my "chicken" sandwich with joy in every bite. We also loved the thirst quenching hibiscus passion and orange clementine tea . The service was incredible, the ingredients thoughtful and delicious, and everything was made fresh! The lions mane mushroom ingredient being my favorite! I am so happy with this experience that we plan on making this a weekly event! read more

We ate here while visiting family in Naperville. The inside is small, but we were able to sit and enjoy a nice lunch. The Italian beef was delicious! My husband got the lion's mane chicken tenders and he enjoyed them. read more

Vegan Bar - Italian beef with cashew cheese - Vegan Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Tomato and lettuce were fresh; only things I appreciated with this meal. Burger was burned, bread too moist, fries soft and soaky, it tastes like something was wrong with it. Server communication was super short and felt like not interested in helping or overall serving. There was a hole on the ceiling and dirt and pieces dropped on the floor and the cashier counter. Inside the kitchen did not seem neat and clean. I could understand if something was happening that cause all this but staff were unapologetic about how their restaurant and how they served me and my family. I will look into other vegan restaurants in the area next time. read more

We had a great experience here. It's a small business and the place is small - so keep that in mind. They make the food fresh, so if there are people ahead of you, expect to wait a little bit. The service was very friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. We had smoothies, soursop tea, sweet potato fries, nuggets and a "burger." Everything was very tasty. We will be back. read more

Food was good, service was also good, and the ambiance was also good. We were prepared for good food but we were unsure as we have been to many vegan places that were terrible. But place is a pleasant surprise. They have delicious food. I just wish they were closer to my town. read more

My meal here was AMAZING. I got the Buffalo chick'n wrap. It was unexpected - more flavor than a traditionally vinegary buffalo sauce. The chick'n was mushrooms! The lion's mane nuggets were crazy. The breading rivals the best fried chicken out there. I met the owner, and she's wonderful. My kids loved the icee (pictured). I can't wait to come back!! read more

Do not go here, 45 minute wait time for a burger and tacos to go. They clearly do not know how to handle more than one customer at a time. read more

First off, this is only my second review ever and I'm a huge foodie! I was traveling through the area and was looking for some vegan dinner when I came across Vegan Bar. And WOW WOW WOW! Hubby and I tried the lions mane chicken sandwich w/ fries and the Chicago style hot dog and everything tasted amazinggg and was cooked to perfection with a whole lotta love! Not to mention the fish they so kindly let us sample which was outstanding! The owners were so sweet spirited and the restaurant is so cute, chill and welcoming. This easily became my #1 vegan spot, and it's black owned!! Love love love! Hope to see you guys again soon, love from Gary, IN! God bless! read more

Today I decided to try out Vegan Bar and I am so glad I did. The service was great the gentlemen explained some of the menu items and was very friendly. I ordered the Chkn sandwich which is a lion's mane mushroom battered and fried with a side of French fries which were some of the best I have had in a while. The sandwich was delicious everything about it was right on point. I did a side of Buffalo sauce so I added it to part of my sandwich so with or without sauce it is a solid sandwich. I will come back and I highly recommend the Vegan Bar. Ambiance is very relaxing with a clean modern look to it. Next time will try a salad with the grilled oyster mushrooms and a smoothie or juice. read more

Those Lion's mane Tenders were the best Vegan Tenders Ever!!! OMG Slap so Hard! Super Satisfied!

Note: I am not even a vegetarian. Been here 5 times now and had a great experience every time. Everything I have had so far is excellent. The meat substitutes are top notch and I really do have trouble telling the cheese isn't dairy. read more

Always so happy to find a fully vegan place in the suburbs :) Nice menu with lots of offerings, so far I've only tried a few things from their lunch menu. Prices are really great too! I really enjoyed their cheeseburger and their chicken nuggets are good too. I hope to eventually try everything once! read more

Food is excellent! It was a ton of people inside Saturday and they still were so nice as they worked to get out the orders. My food was great. I had to ask for extra salt but the fries were crispy. There is no up charge for sweet potato fries which allowed my wife to get her own fries for once. They have a lot of specials and pretty much all the food has no preservatives. One lady got mad because they couldn't hold a long conversation with her as it was literally eight people in line. The cashier was sweet and polite and kept conversing with her. People are unrealistic that cashiers can hold super long conversations with you while others are waiting. The vibe is chill so why bring negativity. They allow other small businesses to promote their products which supports people. I will always come here. I visit this restaurant about 4 times per week for a year. They are very accommodating. read more

Great food! Like the variety and daily options. Maybe a few more tables at some point too

Today was my second time order food from here. I was very disappointed. The customer service was horrible. The young man at the register didn't know how to greet me as a customer. I couldn't understand what he was saying because he mumbled his words. I ordered a regular 4 piece Nuggets and fries which should have cost 7.25. I was charged 9.95 for some lions mane chicken Nuggets. I never asked for lion manes chicken Nuggets. When I got my food home the Nuggets looked like some burnt hush puppies. I would never patronize this business again. read more
