They’re doing something right! - Edit
This place is cool! Friendly staff in a traditional diner-type restaurant with all-day breakfast. I had the chick’n and waffles with gravy. Made with seitan and love, the food was very tasty and stays true to its diner roots. I could quibble with a few things (I’ve had some amazing vegan food lately, and this wasn’t “knock your socks off” good and was more like chick’n fried steak rather than fried chick’n), but it was well cooked, spiced very well and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife loved the donuts, but also didn’t love that the home fried potatoes were covered by the gravy in the biscuits and gravy, not on the side. They also used plastic utensils, which was annoying when trying to cut our chick’n, waffles and biscuits. Nevertheless, I’d definitely recommend the place and it’s fully deserving of the fifth star. In some ways, even though this is comfort food, the use of more traditional substitutes provides a more homey experience while enjoying the food that fit the ambiance well. I love what they’re doing, and I love having this option in Ithaca when we visit. Would definitely come back and try other dishes!

Fully Vegan and super friendly staff! - Edit
Went for breakfast and ordered the Breakfast Skillet and the Tofu Benedict. Both were fantastic selections. We loved the bacon on the Tofu Benedict so much I went back to ask the staff about the bacon to find out that they sell the bacon there. The staff and the owner told me all about the bacon they use . . . how they store it, how they cook it. Liked it so much, I bought 5 packages of it!

Disappointed - Edit
The beet burger and fries were acceptable but the Blondie browny was uneatable because way to sweet.

Super cute retro-style diner with only vegan food, all made in-house. We got seitan and waffles and a breakfast skillet with biscuits, sausage and gravy, home fries with peppers and onions. Super tasty! Friendly staff with a cool vibe. Check this place out!

Great vegan option - Edit
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Wish they had later hours. Also a bit noisy in the restaurant, kind of felt like a cafeteria. But the food was solid and filling!

Old fashion diner veganized :) - Edit
Last year, we were able to take out, but this year we sat down and had waffles and chick’n, buffalo sandwich, and donuts. Everything was outstanding. I ate way too much. It’s a must visit while in Ithaca.

Amazing Vegan Philly Cheese “Steak” Sandwich - Edit
I’ve only been once and it was outstanding. My husband and I had the vegan Philly cheese “steak” and they use seitan. It was so good. We also got for dessert their peach muffin which we also enjoyed.

100% vegan and everything is great. The meals can be a bit heavy, but everything I’ve had has been very tasty and the donuts are by far the best I’ve had. Can’t recommend enough!

Amazing! - Edit
I have enjoyed almost everything I have gotten from here. Amazing “chicken” and waffles, pancakes, philly “cheese steak,” donuts, cupcakes, and more. I wasn’t the biggest fan of their French fries and Buffalo tofu burger, but everything else has been outstanding. Still only take-out, hopefully they will return to in person dining soon.

Cons: Only open Wed through Sun, Fries and Buffalo tofu

Delicious - Edit
Currently they are only doing curbside pickup. You can order over the phone or online. They offer a decent size menu with lots of great options. The food was delicious. I ordered the chik’n Philly with fries, mozzarella sticks, glazed donut and chocolate chip cookie.

Delicious vegan food - Edit
I’ve heard so many great things about Angelhearts Diner and it definitely lived up to the hype. We tried the Philly Cheezesteaks. The seitan and cheese sauce were both so good. Also got the mozzarella sticks, soft serve ice cream and a glazed donut. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend everything! (As of October 2021 they still are open for takeout orders only. There are tables located nearby for eating outside and Ithaca commons is a short walk that also has ample outdoor seating.)

The BEST Donuts! - Edit
We didn't have a lot of time and the wait for take-out was 45 minutes to an hour, so we just ordered two donuts and two coffees...and the donuts were off the charts good! They were just normal glazed donuts (my fav) with icing but they were perfect. Nothing too fancy - just delicious, sweet, flaky, and amazing. I hate when resturants try to go over-the-top with their donuts. No, please just make good, ol' glazed donuts and that's what Angelhearts did with these. Although, these did have icing (which is picked a lot off) but my husband loved them with the extra sweetness. Good coffee too! ☕🍩
Read morePros: All vegan!, Delicious donuts, Nice parking area (lots of spots)

Great Vegan Food - Edit
Just had lunch at Angel hearts for the first time and it won't be our last time. I had the pulled BBQ with coleslaw which was perfectly seasoned. The Root beer BBQ sauce is excellent! French fries fresh, hot and delicious! My husband loved the Ithaca breakfast burrito which was also fabulous. Best vegan food we've found in Ithaca. Carnivores will love it too.

Fresh locally made vegan food! - Edit
I love coming here whenever I'm in Ithaca, the food is excellent. I especially enjoy having a good vegan option for breakfast. Everyone is friendly and orders come out relatively quickly. They make most items in house and often experiment with new recipes. Make sure to get the Chick’n & Waffles with the gravy.
Read morePros: Food is creative and fresh., Friendly staff, Fun retro interior
Cons: Temporarily take-out only.

The BEST! - Edit
Angelhearts is one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve been to, even including places I’ve tried in NYC. Try anything with their cheeze sauce (it’s amazing). Their donuts are phenomenal. I hope they bring back the spicy chi’ken sandwich (on a biscuit) ‘cause I was up multiple times a week to get that.

I just found out about this place and I'm mad I didn't know know about it before. The food is amazing! I tried the western sandwich and it was incredible. I've been missing a good all-vegan junk food cafe after Ten Forward closed and I'm so happy I found this place!
