Verdant Cafe absolutely delivers. I tried the chicken Caesar wrap and the chicken lamb gyro, and both were an easy 5/5. The chicken Caesar wrap was huge, packed with flavor, and seriously satisfying. Every bite had the perfect balance of chicken, dressing, and crunch. But the chicken lamb gyro? That was next level. It was loaded, insanely flavorful, and honestly required two hands to handle. The meat was juicy, well seasoned, and everything worked together perfectly. You can tell they don't cut corners here. Great portions, bold flavors, and food that actually leaves you full and happy. Verdant is officially a go to spot for me now, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Food is Delicious! Always a hit. I've never order anything that I did not like. My kids also love it. For those complaining. This is not considered an eat in restaurant, but you can if you want. Plants give a beautiful ambience. Staff is respectable. The food is made to order and is listed on their site. read more

Food tastes amazing ! Takes some time but it's definitely worth the wait. Everything on the menu has been perfect, what ever you want or don't want in your order they will do. read more

The food is excellent I would go back wish they had delivery and could order by phone instead of online. Congrats to owers for a great place to eat read more

Cute little place, not really an eat in restaurant despite having three tables. It's quicker to order online vs. going in person. Their menu is diverse - tacos, flatbreads, chicken sandwiches, gyros, burritos and rice bowls. Sorry I didn't take a pictures of our food. The burritos were huge, the lamb cheesesteak was amazing and the chicken sandwiches are fabulous. The chicken is thin crispy breaded patties with lots of different delicious flavors add a variety Of different ingredients and sauces. I had the Japanese chicken sandwich which had spicy Mayo and Asian coleslaw. I'll be back but next time I'll order ahead and pick it up instead of waiting. read more

Good food. Cute cafe full of plants. Best to order online since the menu is updated. If you eat here, be prepared to leave smelling like restaurant grease. There are three tables inside if you decide to eat here. The food takes a while to be prepared so it is best to order ahead of time. Large servings for each meal. I enjoyed my chorizo bowl, it was fresh and extremely flavorful. The chorizo had a kick to it. Definitely heavy on the salt. I like their guacamole bec it has a lot of lime. My friend did not like that the gauc being as sour as it was. The tortilla chips were freshly fried. read more

Ok but why was that honey chicken pimento sandwich bomb af???!! Really cool ambiance too with all the plants.

The interior of the place is very cute. The kind of place you don't mind lingering in or maybe working remotely from - I'm not sure that they offered wifi. Ordered a burrito with tofu instead of chicken. It was delicious and very large. I ate half then and half a few hours later. Service was OK. No one was up there when we came in. We ordered from the counter and then took a seat. It seemed like a place that should have table service, but that didn't seem to be the case as we also had to retrieve our food from the counter. read more

Found this place via Yelp while running errands with my mom in the area. I wanted something with some healthy options, and this sounded like it might fit the bill. The storefront itself is a plant-filled oasis in what looks like a run-down shopping center. There are lots of beautiful plants inside and out. I wanted to talk with them about it, but there was just a young person (perhaps the owner's child) at the counter to take and present orders. There are a couple of tables for eating in, though it looks like they do mostly takeout. We used the online menu to place our order. The menu is huge, with so many options it might make your head spin. I settled on a chicken caesar salad, which comes with quinoa oddly enough. (I didn't read the description beforehand.) There were more croutons than I prefer, so I left a lot of that on my plate. I ate it without dressing as well; the dressing was thankfully on the side and was a thick, creamy thing. But the chicken was really tasty. I was jealous of my mom's "red salad" with steak. It was beautiful and had a lot of greens. Her boyfriend's pork sandwich and fries also looked delicious. They both enjoyed them. With so many options (salads, wraps, hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, and more), I think it could be hard to get bored of this place. read more

Definitely order ahead on the app! There are tables there but it seems like it's more of a take out spot. We got the lamb gyro with spicy tzatiki sauce and it was delicious. Fresh! We can't wait to try more items! My order was done in 20 min, not 40 min but it was also around 4ish so it was probably not that busy yet. read more

Ordered the harissa chicken sandwich and house bowl with white rice, breaded tofu, and chili mayo as dressing. Both were delicious! The bowl is packed and enough for 2 meals. This was a pick up order, and as I walked in for the first time, I was taken by the ambience of the plants everywhere. The room was filled with delicious oxygen. I'm coming back and trying other foods. Definitely recommend! read more

Culturally diverse menu, seasoned to perfection, soothing ambiance with lots of place and three tables to sit and eat. The wait is a bit longer than you'd normally expect so order ahead for pick up or eat in. FYI: No wait staff, but very comfortable to sit and eat for a solo lunch or quiet date. read more

I am really stunned that this place exists, specifically where it exists. In a good way. Its' menu is probably the only place in South Jersey that reflects the areas diversity -- because most restaurants don't even try, come close, or accommodate for the prevailing palate. I've gone 3 times, and each item was as good or better than the other one. The ambiance is very social media pleasing but isn't really meant for Monday-Friday sit down. My only advice is to order ahead and realize that it might take an hour or so for it to be ready. read more

These were the best wraps we've ever had!!!! They were so good we went back the same week. Can't wait to order again.

Finally got to try this spot. Really cute and vibrant with all the diff plants and vegetation all over. You are guided to ordering online which is super convenient. There was no interaction w staff until you pick up your food after ordering. He was nice enough for just handing me my bag. I got the Nashville hot tofu sandwich. The tofu was def not pressed at all. It was super mushy. Idk who would want a mushy tofu sandwich. I had to take it home and bake it for an hour before I could reconstruct the sandwich and finally eat it. It was tasty and spicy after fixing the texture. The second sandwich we got was the regular Nashville hot chicken sandwich and he thoroughly enjoyed that. He said it was the closest rendition to the originals from Hattie B's and Dave's etc. he loved it. Both came with fries and they were hot and fresh, cooked well. I'll go back again, just won't get tofu. read more

I love restaurants that make homemade healthy food. And it's delicious. Definitely would recommend read more

I travel to NJ often for work. Verdant Cafe is my new go to! Some of the best food I have ever experienced on the road!

The food was so fresh! I We got the teriyaki bowl and two tacos. Good portion size and super tasty. They have plants surrounding the inside and outside, so the place looks just as beautiful as their food. There was also no plastic in their packaging. Support this local business! read more

Picked up food from here. Place is small with lots of greenery. Got the chicken quesadilla and buffalo chicken wrap. Both were bursting with delicious flavors. Both are on the spicy side the quesadilla more than the wrap. So don't make the mistake I did and get it for your kids. It was all good because I enjoyed it. I would definitely go back again to try other things in their menu. read more

This food is fresh and made to order. I've had several of the sandwiches and they are all phenomenal. They also will prepare family meals. The staff is super friendly and it is family run. Even the kids take the order sometimes. I highly recommend this over the greasy food next door. Also I was going to post a picture of my food, but I destroyed it before taking to this post. Delicious. read more

Update- 2 years later and it's still great. They've definitely updated/upgraded the space - moved things around, added more plants, changed the menu. It's a super clean space. Warm and inviting with lots of options to choose from on their menu. Definitely a good spot for lunch and even on those nights where you don't feel like cooking, but want something hearty and filling. The prices have gone up, but that's with everything else in the world recently. Support this small business! read more

SUPPORT THIS SMALL BUSINESS!!! I'll tell you why..... Found this place on Yelp... if I drove by, I would've never walked in.... The plaza is so dull and I would've never seen it. But as soon as I walked in I was amazed at the decor- mostly gorgeous green plants giving the place a fresh-air-feel. You could tell this place was run by a hard working family bc there was a younger person at the counter who was soooo nice. AND THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AND FRESH! Now, I will go out of my way to eat here read more

I stopped here on a whim while out of town the inside is small but quaint and there is a super cut outside seating area with tons of flowers and succulents. Adorable. I had the red salad which is steak spinach and Gorgonzola and it was very good. They have a big menu for a small place with tons of healthy options! read more

Verdant cafe is a hidden gem. AMAZING food, everything is fresh, clean and delicious. There are plenty of options for vegetarian and vegan peeps. Wraps, salads, bowls, sandwiches and some of the best nachos I've ever had. Very high quality meals. Everything is to go here, but the inside is full of life with plants and succulents everywhere. Can't say enough good about this place. read more

Great food, good service. Probably some of the best nachos I've ever had. Wraps are delicious as-well, keep up the good work

My companions all like their food (sandwich and wrap), but I hated mine (Shrimp taco), which is terrible. I think if you stay away from non-sandwich type of food at this place, you will have a better experience. The Ambiance is cool for sure. read more

Super cute and cool place! Food was great and portions were very generous. Def going back! read more

Verdant Cafe was an alright place to grab dinner after work while working remotely. We try to get takeout at least once a week during the pandemic to help out local restaurants. I got a cauliflower bowl with teriyaki chicken, and it had too much cilantro to really enjoy. Service was friendly but food wasn't impressive so we're undecided if we'll return. read more

I ordered the spinach bowl with tofu and brown rice. The tofu and rice were cooked to Perfection! It was my first time receiving an order from there, I'm was thoroughly suprised! read more

Food was very good, extremely impressed with the Buffalo cauliflower bites. First time I ordered I asked can the food be ready by 12 they said yes got there wasn't ready waited probably 15 minutes. Gave them another chance, placed an order the guy said 30 minutes I got their 40 minutes later and the food was not ready! Sat there for another 20 minutes. I was at work on lunch breaks both of these times. They need to get their timing down before I can order again. My co worker was unable to eat his lunch because they took so long. All we ordered was a wrap. Pitas and Buffalo cauliflower bites why does that take over an hour? read more

Very cute little shop with lots of greenery inside and out. I appreciated the vast menu and tried the Mediterranean wrap and one of the rice bowls. Both were delicious and enough for two meals each. Unfortunately the fries were cold when I picked up my order even though I arrived right when I received the text that it was done but I'll try them again for sure read more

This place is actually really really good. It's definitely a bit pricy but trust me it's definitely worth trying at least once. The chicken cutlet sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich are my go-tos. It does take a really long time to get your order because they're so understaffed, but I'd rather support these types of places more. Very wholesome atmosphere. read more

took 45 minutes for a chicken sandwich and an empanada. it was good though, restaurant had nice plants

I was in the area and figured I would give this place a try. Glad I did. The crispy chicken sandwich with cole slaw and their Greek salad with chicken was excellent. I will be ordering again!! read more

I and my wife love the food here. It's similar to ordering at a Chipotle, but the quality is MUCH BETTER. Their Guacamole is delicious, their queso is delicious as well as is their salsa. Their chips are homemade. We have had the bowls, burrito, and taco. The chicken and steak are seasoned perfectly. Haven't tried the beef yet. read more

Oh my goodness!!! My boyfriend and I just moved to the area and have been trying local places. We tried the pizza place next door to Verdant and Verdant Cafe was next on my list. Today for lunch, I ordered the Chrissy chicken sandwich with homemade coleslaw and all I can say is WOW! The chicken is fresh and crunchy and the coleslaw is seasoned so nicely. Everything about it was great. It even came with a side of fresh cut potatoes with cheese sauce on the side. The price was fair and I look forward to ordering from here again. read more
