I've been watching for more vegan/plant based options that don't serve a lot of highly processed food... Just happened to stumble upon this establishment... Slightly off the beaten path... More of an experience than anything else... They had a lot of burger options but I settled on the oxtails with rice and plantains and talk about GOOD... The caramelized plantain was perfect... Food was well seasoned... They offer an array of other products like Sea Moss drinks... Note to the owner... Put the cat away when the customers come in... something about a cat and food just don't mix well for me and mine.... read more

Vegan Planet Cafe - Vegan Oxtails - Vegan Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Walked in and ordered our food, seemed like a small rush that they were unprepared for. The people behind us got their food before us and we waited about an hour for ours. The menu said Philly cheez and that's all so when I received the food I did, it definitely wasn't what I was expecting. Mine taste good even though I didn't know what it was but after waiting all the time they ended up giving my husband burnt food. We live over the bridge so I wasn't going to turn around, probably won't be back. read more

I this place. It's one of my new favorite places. I was recommended this Cafe by a veteran who was a vegan who overheard me saying talking about becoming a vegan. Well this place won me over with their vegan oxtail wrap made with jackfruit. At first I was scared to try it I put it in my refrigerator for a day or two but when I tried it oh my God I had to go back and get three more to let others try it and we've been going back ever since I this place. I love the jewelry I love the desserts I love the books enjoy the people the customers. It's around the corner from Ghent. The owners of lovely people the workers are great people. read more

The taste of the food left us speechless ands still talking about the food the next day. We ordered the plant burger and the oyster/portobello 'chicken' burger combos. Fried to perfection! Don't the let the facade of the place deceive you because our meal did not disappoint. Also be sure to check out their natural skin/hair products-we even bought some soap and soursop bitters which we really like too! read more

Cool spot but I wouldn't eat there again if you paid me. The lady working behind the counter that cooks your food doesn't know how to change out her gloves. Too nasty for me. read more

Service was good and the products that were available. Was happy to see that Norfolk Va is moving forward with nutrition

We got the barbeque burger with sweet potatoes fries... It was sooo good. And my niece got the Philly pita with sweet potato fries, which was just as good. It was a generous size. The place has a shop in it with everything for physical and inner well being too read more

Vegan Planet Cafe is amazing! I came with my best friend, and my fries were a hit! With the mushrooms dipped in mango habanero sauce! I loved their vegan sour cream, and sorrel! If you are in Norfolk and looking to try something New! Definitely give Vegan Planet Cafe a try! The owner is amazing, and so friendly! It's a peaceful atmosphere, and family friendly! read more

I just had the best vegan chicken sammie of my life @ Vegan Planet in Norfolk (it's on Granby next to brows & Meows inside Conscious Planet) First of all you walk (or in my case wobble - I'm disabled and use crutches on my good days to walk) into this place & it immediately makes you feel peaceful. The owner saw me coming from the lot across the street (I'm not the best parallel parker lol) & jumped up to get the door for me. Their menu is plentiful & I couldn't decide so I took their recommendation (next time I'm trying the burger) & I was not disappointed. Crispy, juicy, so flavorful. There was spinach tomato and pickles on it and it was enormous. I looked them up and they have ZERO health code violations. The bookstore is spiritually based and geared mostly toward the African American community. There was a lot of info on the Orishas & they had crystals and some really cool jewelry. The vibe is so wonderful. They were playing good music and everyone was incredibly friendly. If you're in Norfolk I highly recommend you check it out. 10/10 would reccommend. I will absolutely be back. read more

Definitely A Hidden Gem !!! I stopped in today, for the first time, and ordered the Cauliflower Bites combo and the Falafel Waffle Bowl with a side of the Curry Slaw. When I tell you the slaw was gone before I hit 64!!! Everything about this place was amazing! The cauliflower had a nice crunch to it, the fries were delicious but the falafel waffle bowel definitely stole the show! The aura was welcoming, the staff was friendly and everybody that came in seemed like family Everything was FRESH and made to order. The lady there kept apologizing for the wait but I told her I didn't mind waiting and I was in no rush and let me tell you the wait was well worth it! Thank you to everybody that answered any questions, with grace and patience. I will definitely be back ! Much love, peace, and blessings to you read more

The fries are not deep fried which is a healthier choice but something to note before you order them. They were cooked in an air fryer they were hot and done but soggy. The vegan sausage and burger was good. They were out of mac and cheese and nachos. This one our main reason for stopping in. The atmosphere was welcoming. read more

"She's not here. She might be back at 2." And then they walked me out, locked the door, and turned off the "open" sign. I have never had someone walk me out of a restaurant like that before, it was awkward. I don't know if I would eat here anyway though, it didn't appear to be clean and it was very creepy. I'll pass. read more

I had the Juneteenth special today. Every thing was so tasty!! The fried mushroom, collard greens, mac and cheese and cornbread were all amazing! I will definitely be back! read more

The food was very very very bland. The oxtails was a mixture of potatoes, black-eye peas and lima beans in a gravy, more so like a bean stew served over rice and peas. The rasta pasta was dry. The chicken sandwich with the air fryer fries was ok. Sorry to say... but I won't be returning ever again. read more

Can I just say I absolutely love this place !!!!! From the great energy to the amazing food. These burgers are so juicy and full of flavor and the rasta smack I am absolutely obsessed with!! Me and my gf are pretty much regulars at this point. But it was our initial first encounter that made us loyal customers, the vibe is so chill and all about the people ! our first time trying them we had such an enlightening conversation with the owner he was so genuine and full of positive energy. Don't take my word for it try them yourself!!! read more

Solid 3 stars. The rasta shmack is great. The Philly cheese sub is subpar. It's not even a sub, it's a wrap. I also wish the listed their ingredients somewhere or had descriptions of their products. It would make ordering a lot easier. read more

This place is amazing!! It was soooo delicious, and the service was excellent and friendly. My husband got the chicken sandwich that was also wonderful. Will definitely be returning! read more

Vegan Planet Cafe - Philly cheese steak and Rasta smack - Vegan Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Went there with my husband and was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. If there was a way I could give this place 0 stars I would. The place is very unclean, they never have most of the items on the menu, and they made our fries in an air fryer that I could have made at home with actual real potatoes and not frozen Walmart fries. When we got our food the fries and burgers were not all the cooked. We looked at the good reviews before going, but definitely would never recommend this to my vegan community. However, there an phenomenal more cleanly vegan restaurant around the corner called jikoni Cafe. Their vegan food was phenomenal and they answered all ingredient questions I had. All of their food was fresh and from local farms. read more

Apparently there's different cook's the male cook's food was delicious maybe the women was over worked in her defense but I will give her one more try!!!! read more

I wish I had taken a picture of the food, it looked so good! It was all freshly made with all vegan ingredients and tasted really good! Not only that but I found the service to be amazing and very friendly , it definitely is family owned and its nice to talk with the owners of the establishment! Would definitely eat here again! I recommend the blackened spicy burger and rasta schmack(Mac and cheese) read more

This food at Vegan Planet Cafe is very good , tremendous , phenomenal , astounding , and the smoothies there are spot on!!!!! Please come and buy there !!!! read more

ThLis place doesn't look apelen to the eye and to the appetite. it is definitely a wear look and only a person works in the kitchen. it doesn't look hygienic . The carrot cake is good, and the food taste okay, but the appearance is not good. read more

I almost missed it driving by but I needed a vegan bite to eat on the way back from the airport. Very nice staff and the food was even better. I've never had a chickn sandwich that good in my life. I don't know why people are complaining about selling ketchup lol veganism is not a diet. read more

This place looked interesting in the pictures, only to realize once entering the establishment the kitchen area was beyond reasonably dirty. The "stove" was completely a mess with caked on burnt food that had been there for a while. The smoothie was made in a dirty blender container with residue from previous smoothies still in the inside. To cap it off the "Chef" wore no gloves, hair cap and failed to wash their hands. While making my smoothie, he scratched his beard with his hand and I watched in horror as particles from his beard fell into my smoothie. If you value your health, your families health and that of the community I would highly recommend not going here. read more

Beware: they do not wash their hands and do not use gloves. Watched as the "cook" scratched his beard and flakes fell onto someone else's burger. If they cleaned up the area and followed basic health guidelines, they could have potential. read more

Without question, the best vegan burger place in a 100 mile radius! I can't wait to return to try the other items on the menu. Keep up the good work! Awesome!!! read more

I had the curry mushroom pita and OMG! It was amazing! I'm so glad I stopped by. I almost passed it considering the front of their building has quite a few letters missing! The Vegan Mac & Cheese is to die for. The best I've ever had AND it was vegan. I must say the inside is in little disarray, but don't be scared away. You must try this place!!! read more

Excellent vegan/vegetarian fresh home style food! Had the vegg oxtail stew lunch plate and was pleasantly surprised how good it was and flavors close to original but without the meat! Nice selection of other items for sale too-books, herbs, clothing etc read more

This place is not signed - it's actually inside Conscious Planet, which is a store that sells crystals and books on black empowerment. The food was quite tasty, and there are several other items on the menu that look worth trying. While we were eating at one of the two café patio-style tables, Brother Eternal came and sat beside us and chatted with us. A skinny fellow wearing a hat that makes me think of a Vietnamese rice farmer, he was friendly and pleasant enough, but his interjection may turn some people off. read more

So I've entered this establishment a couple of times and they are very good for books that you may be interested in reading but the vegan is full of bullshit, how you vegan but you giving me "Heinz" ketchup with high fructose corn syrup in it and the last time I went they were rude and had absolutely no ingredients for food, how are you a cafe with no ingredients or food .. read more

Very tasty food, staff was friendly, affordable, cool environment. Would definitely recommend!

We're in town visiting family, I'm so happy we found this space! Food was excellent, staff was warm and welcoming with a nourishing atmosphere. We will definitely return on our next visit here. read more

Great spot with good tasting food and the homemade ginger ale is amazing. Good spot for anybody that is health conscious
