    Cheeseburger Wrap
    Zack G.

    Counter service vegan place with a large drink menu and a large (but basic) food menu comprised of salads, rice bowls, wraps, and sandwiches. They don't try to imitate meat as much as they stick to dishes that are naturally vegan That being said, I did try one of their meat-substitute dishes, a cheeseburger wrap, and it was pretty tasty. The wrap itself was kind of stale though Also have a bunch of vegan desserts 7.5

    I am always so happy when I get to come here! I live a little far away, so this is usually a stop on my way home from New Haven when I go. I barely made it there before closing this time, and I was afraid they were going to be like a lot of places and tell me it was too late to order certain things, but they made the smoothie bowl for me with a smile on their faces, and I could not have been more grateful! I also buy goodies every time I go there like shots and bliss balls And peanut butter pie. This place is an oasis!

    I like this place because of healthy food options. The ambiance is good. I called to order take out on my way to NY, and it was ready when I got there. First thing that happened was that I called and tried to order Thai Tangle but turns out that isn't on the menu anymore & they don't have a website available with a new menu or anything updated on yelp. I asked for another kind of spicy noodle but they couldn't help. I ordered the southwest wrap and I was so upset with what I had gotten (see photo) there was an inch of substance in the wrap besides rice. A $15 wrap filled with fifty cents worth of rice with a slight layer of sauce and just a few beans. How's a vegan supposed to survive. . .? Not sure what I would ever order from here again.

    Let me be the first to say before they change their name from Pure to Wild I was, and still am, a huge fan. The food, the atmosphere, the scent you are introduced to when you walk into the building. It's amazing. I come to this place quite often and since they moved the place is bigger. The parking is better. The reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 like it deserves is because on this particular situation I walked in encountering three workers and not a single one said hi or even acknowledges that I walked in the building. It was me and another person in the cafe so it wasn't a busy issue. I noticed one girl that I see often who was in the kitchen that ended up acknowledging me and helping me when I told her no one had acknowledged me. When I'm there I normally like to interact with Linda, a worker that I encountered when I first was introduced to the place that made me want to come back more because she is so awesome and nice. I really love this place. I frequent it often. Sometimes I have to take a step back because I can literally spend an entire paycheck at this place because it's just so good. But I do feel like acknowledging people that are coming into any establishment to spend money is very important, even if you don't want to.

    This is a vegetarian/vegan friendly cafe in Wallingford. The food and smoothies are decent but the place is too expensive for what they offer.

    Chewbacca Bowl

    I'm working my way through trying all of the juices and smoothies. I have tried Apple Jack, Berry Berry Bliss, Kale Me Crazy, The Nutty Monkey and Emerald Forest. I haven't found one I don't like. I also really enjoyed the Chewbacca Bowl.

    Southwestern Wrap
    Nakia H.

    Absolutely worth the 30 min drive. I'm in town on business and staying near Yale campus yet found this gem on Yelp. Everything is made fresh and organic!! They have descriptions of ingredients and the advantages of them posted at the counter and on various tables. For those that are new to the 'clean' eating lifestyle. From drinks, smoothies, wraps and desserts, it's ALL delicious! I will definitely add this place to the list of recurring visits whenever I'm in the area.

    Wild Alchemy is a true one stop shop for eats! Vegan or not, this establishment has so many unique options, you're bound to find something delicious and hearty to satisfy your hunger! Their Falafel Wraps for one, are also out of this world! Salads are filling and delicious, they have a nice selection of snacks and a monthly feature & their smoothie and juice selection is large! They also have a few tables outside to enjoy al fresco dining, have CBD products and other supplements for sale, juice shots, and house made to go nutrient waters in their fridge in addition to other interesting brands. This is honestly the first place I've been too where I loved something from each category (food, smoothie, juice & dessert) Must tries in my opinion: Wraps: Falafel Salad: Zen Dessert: Key Lime Pie my friend devoured (June 2021 Special) and almond joy or butterfinger bar Smoothie: Creamsicle (Superfood selection) & Berry Berry Bliss Juice: Tiny Dancer & Moxie Lady (I get light on the ginger)

    The Bagel

Lots of dairy free, vegetarian and gluten free items to pick from The bagel - house made onion bread with cashew cream cheese topped with tomato and avocado Cheeseburger wrap-romaine, pickles, raw veggie nut burger, tomato, cashew cheesy sauce served with blue chips Creamsicle smoothie - orange, banana, vanilla, coconut milk, maple and baobab

    Southwestern Wrap
    Melissa R.

    Stopped here for lunch and it was great! I had the southwestern wrap with a creamsicle smoothie! The wrap was so delicious and very filling! I'll definitely be back to try more things off the menu! Their desserts looked delicious too! I only took one star off because it's pretty pricey.

    Cheeseburger Wrap
    Stefanie L.

    I used to love the old location but am super sad to say my experience here at the new one frankly sucked. I came with a friend and ordered the cheeseburger wrap, which is my favorite and my friend got the chickpea wrap. After being forgotten for well over 15 minutes and watching every person that came in after us be served their food before us, someone finally acknowledged my friend and I and offered us water and apologized for the wait. I was a bit perplexed when they brought over one cup of water for the 2 of us. After another 5 minutes, our food finally came out. My cheeseburger wrap was literally 80% pickles, which I hate. They were chopped up so small that they were really hard to pick out. It's my fault for not asking for no pickles, but also like, the wrap was mostly pickles which I do not remember from when I've ordered this before at the old location. Once I removed al of the pickles the wrap was decent but there was so little "cheeseburger" in the wrap that it was really sad to eat. My friend couldn't even eat his chickpea wrap because it was under seasoned and had an unpleasant texture. Overall was really disappointed with this whole experience and felt like it was a waste of my money. I will likely not be returning.

    The Green Skinny Juice and The Revolutionist Smoothie
    Casey G.

    Went to check out Wild Alchemy the other day and it was great! The staff was working very hard to accommodate all of the customers and everyone was very sweet tried one of their juices, smoothie, and their toast with almond butter and it was all delicious! I'll definitely be coming back again soon!

    Superfood Bliss Balls

    Healthy & delicious food! Excellent staff...very friendly & knowledgeable about offerings. Went to the one in Avon. High quality food, including locally made superfood chocolates. So far, I had a very fresh & tasty green juice, but brought home lots of other goodies that I can't wait to try. I live 30 mins away, but will make trips out there just for them as it was so worth it! So happy to have a vegan place somewhat nearby with incredible & healthy options. Even non-vegans will love this place! Update: The Chaga pie was amazing as are the Superfood Bliss Balls.

    Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Middletown! It is so nice to have a vegan restaurant…read moreso close to home. Ambiance inside is unmatched, the natural oak tables and decor, along with all of the plants creates such a serene and intimate experience! The sweet potato fries are a MUST for an appetizer. The Grilled Setian entree is my favorite on the menu, with the Southern Fried plate coming in a close 2nd. You must try the desserts, the coconut cake is one of the best I've had! Thank you ION for all you do

    1 Star -- Abysmal service. Completely ruined a Bachelorette celebration…read more We chose this venue for a 6-person Bachelorette party, expecting a memorable night. Instead, the catastrophic service completely deflated the celebratory mood. * The Delays: It took over an hour just to get our first round of drinks. Our food arrived an agonizing hour and a half after ordering.Zero Accountability: The floor had only four occupied tables, meaning staff was not overwhelmed. Yet, no manager was present to address the failure.Empty Promises: When we questioned the delay, staff repeatedly placated us by saying the food would be out "soon." In reality, "soon" meant another 20-minute wait.The sheer lack of urgency and professional management was shocking. Do not risk your special occasions, milestones, or hard-earned money at this establishment. We even had a reservation! Do better

Great tap selection and their wine list is pretty extensive to cover all palates. While the appetizers list looked good, we were not starving so we went right for the mains.

My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I came here for brunch on our way back from Boston (this is right around the halfway point for us) after there was a long wait at our first/preferred destination down the street. There wasn't a wait time at all here despite Library simultaneously hosting at least one event in a different area on the establishment, but maybe that should have told us something. Super cool interior, and there's no way around it. The building very obviously housed a legit library back in the day, complete with Doric columns (a term I usually reserve for describing presidential monuments, not restaurants), and the current business leans into it, as they should. You can see in the accompanying photo that their beer tap at the bar has book covers on them, and a lot of the original interior has been preserved. So understandably, you can see why they also sell themselves as an event space; you can play around with a couple of different business models here. Without a doubt the biggest selling point we saw on our visit. Library had an all-you-can-eat brunch buffet, which is a concept I try to typically avoid because I don't possess any portion control (there are memories from the 1990s surrounding Pizza Hut and their lunch buffet that I'm still not willing to fully address) but honestly? It wasn't a problem here, and that's not a compliment. The set-up was pretty impressive; they had a pastry table, an omelet station (I think there was a roast beef or pot roast situation over here as well?) where a cook was serving up made-to-order requests, and a long table of self-serve items for both breakfast and then lunch further down the line. So you had a LOT of options depending on how your palate was feeling. Unfortunately almost everything was a giant miss. The eggs tasted like they were made from powder, the pastries were stale and/or tasteless and virtually all of the food came off as the worst kind of mass produced meal, something you'd encounter in a very low-end motel offering. The only item worth recommending was the roasted potatoes, which I thought were very flavorful and the only item that didn't require copious amounts of additional seasoning. It was so universally mediocre I'm genuinely surprised this is still something they offer every Sunday - the quality just isn't good so it feels like an unforced error to do buffet style in lieu of a more traditional sit-down brunch. Our bartender was friendly; she wasn't consistently attentive especially in the second half of the meal (we were trying to make eye contact for close to 10 minutes for the check, and she was nearby for all of it) but when she was around she was professional and accommodating. This could be a mark against us as degenerates, but we both thought the mimosas were a little too heavy on the orange juice (I'm not looking for gasoline in my brunch beverages, but ideally a nice hue on the cheeks emerges). I have to think the brunch is not their specialty - and if it is, that's a little concerning. But if I'm back in the area during a different time of week/day, I'd see if something else works here.
