Outstanding

I am used to Vege and Vegan restaurants in Europe. which can vary in quality.
So it was so fantastic to dine at a restaurant which is vege and high quality too. Ate there 3 times in a row!
We also enjoyed Candle 79, which cost a bit more.

Such creative vegan food

With so many options in New York, it’s hard to find a bad vegan restaurant, but this one was among one of my favorites. I got this very tasty BBQ Tempeh (my first experience with tempeh!). The cheesecake was excellent. I can’t wait to move to New York for uni!!

Pros: Creative, Lots of options, Formal

Cons: Pricey

YUMM!

Came here for the first time yesterday for take out and ordered the Tofu BLT. nothing but good things to say about it! You got to choose between fries and a salad as a side which i always appreciate. I can't wait to come back and try something new!

Pros: friendly staff

Cons: pricey

One word—tiramisu!

After foregoing tiramisu (non-vegan) at Christmas, I was so happy to finish this delicious dinner with an incredible tiramisu a week later. My non-vegan husband said the burger was the best vegan burger he has had, and he has had many. We had the fried artichoke appetizer and ravioli appetizer (both so good!), arugula salad (yum), and I had a seitan special. We will definitely be back to try everything else...although I am sure my husband will want the burger again and I will absolutely want the tiramisu!

Pros: All vegan, Delicious, Attractive

the best meal of my life

My brother and I shared a bottle of wine - artfully recommended by our server- the lasagne and the mushroom rigatoni. everything was delicious, but the lasagne was phenomenal. great atmosphere with a peaceful vibe.

Classic Vegan restaurant in NYC

Blossom is a must go for us every time we go to NY.
The food is always tasty and the portions are generous. And it's organic!
The tiramisu is the best vegan tiramisu I've ever had!

Awesome vegan cafe in Chelsea

Cozy cafe on the edge if the village. Service was great. Lots of vegan options. I had an awesome bendect florentine with rosemary potatoes and asparagus on a glutenfree english muffin. I would highly recommend. I have this spot on my list to come back the next time I am in NYC.

Pros: Big menu all vegan, Priced right

Cons: Make reservations for nights and weekends.

Great Lunch Option

I stopped by for a quick solo lunch while I was out exploring NY and really enjoyed both the sweet potato soup (silky and flavorful) and the fried artichokes with a zingy lemon aioli. There were a number of other options on the menu that intrigued me and I had a difficult time deciding. The service was acceptable but nothing special. I thought the (lunchtime) prices were very reasonable by NY standards, particularly for the quality of the food.

Pros: Lots of menu options

Rancid food, too pricy for the quality

I had a very bad experience. I had high expectation for the chef degustation platter but it was so boring and expensive. The fried dough that looks like an empanada tasted like it was made days ago. My husband ordered the burger with fries but the fries were rancid. We left almost all on the plate. I’m never going back!

Wow!

Found this place through opentable & I’m so glad I did! I got the seitan cordon bleu and it was everything I wanted and more! My (nonvegan) boyfriend had the lasagna and loved
It as well! My only complaint on our whole experience was the service, I understand it was a busy night but I felt very rushed, the second we finished eating our plates were cleared. Other than that, I had a great time!

Pros: Lots of options, Accommodating with allergies, Amazing food

Cons: Service, Felt rushed

Disappointed

We hate being disappointed by a completely vegan restaurant but unfortunately this is how we felt. The waiter was grumpy, chewing gum, hardly spoke and had a pen behind his ear. The waitress cleared plates and glasses from our table whilst one of us was still eating. This is not something you expect in a fine dining restaurant. One of our main courses arrived before the other and was fairly cold and had to be sent back. We ended up eating our main courses separately. I always get excited when I see ravioli on the menu, but the pasta was a bit thick and chewy. The polenta with the truffle mushroom was lovely but the mushroom itself was a bit bitter. The kale and squash side was delicious. The mash with the seitan picatta was lumpy. We don't mind paying restaurant prices, but for that we do expect restaurant level service. Won't be returning.

Pros: Vegan restaurant

Cons: Expensive, Poor service

Simply amazing

The scallop dish is probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Everything I tried was amazing, the wine selection was great as well. Just fabulous. Sit upstairs if you can

Flavorful

Maybe we weren't completely blown away by the cuisine since we'd come in after hearing such rave reviews, so we may have expected too much. The flavors were good, but found most of the dishes to be not quite as creative (mostly vegan versions of traditional meat dishes) as some other NY venues. For the prices of the dishes, I would've expected more flair in the flavor. This seems like more a place to convince omnivores that plant-based "meat" can taste just like real meat, but seasoned vegans (especially from California/west coast) might not find it that fresh or interesting. I do appreciate what they're doing however 👍🏽

Cons: Spendy

Amazing

Absolutely fantastic food. I took several non vegans here and they couldn't find anything to complain about. The cordon bleu and lasagne were great! Also got the ganache for dessert and while it was a bit rich it was delicious. Very fast service too.

Pros: All vegan, Good food, Good service

Cons: Expensive , Reservations necessary

i want to cry (tears of joy)

i genuinely have not been this happy in years. i had the caeser with "chicken", my mom had the riggatoni, we had the isreali bourekas for an appetiser, tiramisou for dessert, and the elderflower lemonade to drink. they all were impeccable. i would pay the chef to make me food all day if i could. do! not! miss! this! restaurant! who cares if the food is a little pricey. one night won’t break the bank. COME HERE

Disappointed

The restaurant is very quaint. It has two levels. The top level is nice and airy. The bottom is busier but still very nice. Food presentation is very nice and the portions are just right.

But this is where our positive experience ends. Our server, while not rude, was clearly not into his craft. He didn’t want to be there and was annoyed at us asking for the basics (like water). The tables for 2 are very small and some are so close to your neighbor you might as well just join them and eat as a community.

We ordered apps, entrees and a desert. The soup of the day was the only thing we order with flavor and somewhat fresh. The rest, well it tasted like it was warmed up in microwave. My spouse order lasagna. The meal was dry and the cheese was hard and crusty. I ordered their GF entry and it too failed in taste. The desert, a mousse, was hard, dry and tasted days past its prime.

For the price, I expect better service and fresher food. I definitely wouldn’t suggest this restaurant to a friend and we won’t be going back.
Very disappointed

Pros: 100% Vegan, Nice atmosphere , Allergy options clearly defined on Menu

Cons: Food is not fresh, Poor service, Bland tasting food

Best Food I’ve Ever Had

They had reservations for the entire night but managed to squeeze us in. The Chefs Sampler Appetizer is pretty good, the avocado toast is the best thing on there. Everything was quick and absolutely perfect. Very attentive service.

Pros: Best Food Ever, Great Service, Nice Atmosphere

Cons: Expensive

Never eaten better food

I have genuinely never been served better food than at blossom. Blossom has the most delicious food I have EVER tasted in my entire life (including when I ate meat, eggs, and dairy). Their tofu Florentine is DELICIOUS. The mushroom ravioli in truffle sauce is to die for. If you’re willing to spend some money, you get what you pay for. You get high end, classy, delicious food. Very nice staff! I will go back every time I have the chance.

Pros: Delicious everything, Great staff, Decent pricing for high end food
