Oldie but a Goodie

We enjoyed a Saturday evening dinner here recently. We had the Vegan Survival Pack, which has vegan queso and guacamole. The vegan queso was especially good, which I find is hard to pull off. This was an appetizer and was a generous portion. For dinner, my husband and I split the Wildmushroom Ramen (request no egg) and the Bravas 2.0. Both were delicious. The ramen was a huge portion and they did not skimp on the mushrooms. The Bravas were perfect. What's not to like about potatoes and tacos together!? We enjoyed the toffee basket for dessert.

Pros: Friendly service, More vegan options than in the past

Cons: Needs more vegan desserts.

I don’t know how to feel

Okay so this place has a lot of options and most items can be made vegan. However, when I get food from here I am never really satisfied! Everything kind of gives me like an oily vibe especially the sandwiches like good taste but then it feels like a brick in my stomach. Have tried a variety of menu items but nothing is really it for me. This might just be my taste buds I would give it a whirl and see what you think! Just not my jam and had to keep it real for you people.

My favorite!

The hazelnut toffee basket is incredible, and I usually also go for the verduras tacos as well. My favorite restaurant in the area, I just wish it was fully vegan.

Pros: Lots of clearly labeled vegan options, Yummy desert!

Yummy!!

I literally wanted to try everything on the menu and the fee things I tried only made that more so!! Everything was delicious, and the service was great. I had the ramen special and had a hard time stopping myself from eating more when I got full, so tasty!! Food came out quickly and wait staff was so polite and friendly. I am not from the area but if I was this would be a go to spot!! Hope to come back soon

We’ve been eating here for a decade and absolutely love the food. I wish they’d go fully vegan! Lots of vegan items or ability to make items vegan. Our fav is the Robusto sandwich with root chips! Friendly and helpful staff.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, Delish food, Great staff

Cons: Expensive, Very limited vegan soup options

Great date night spot

I live up the road from and incredible small vegetation/vegan friendly restaurant. Their food is impressive to all people that go. I brought my dad who rolled his eyes when i said i wanted to eat here (does not understand being vegan lol). He loved the k-pop cauliflower. My friends frequently do brunch here. Friendly staff. Make sure you make reservations!

Great food iffy service

Food was excellent, lots of items have cheese or dairy unfortunately- it’s very easy to omit. Our server wasn’t very attentive, she left for long periods of time without returning to refill drinks or the check, however I’d go back in a heartbeat.

pretty presentations

Family who love in the area, all non-veg, took us to Blue Sage on our visit, and we all loved our food! The portions were ample, the combinations creative, and the presentations were so pleasing. The space was really big with many dining areas, and out family said it's not often been crowded since its move from the previous location. I can see how others have commented about lacking service, though ours was okay, though we'd definitely return when we visit again!

Pros: healthy, hearty, ample menu items, crowd-pleasing choices, plenty of seating

Cons: kind of pricey but portions are big

Unique variety/menu

They are a nice restaurant. Several vegan options. My non-vegan friends even like it. They have lots of unique dishes so as long as you don’t mind trying new foods, you’ll like it. People who like standard ingredients might be a little hesitant to try things.

Great food, terrible customer service.

Food was great, once we got it. Service was slow and they didn't bring over the coffee (which says it's included in the brunch) until we asked for it, which I thought seemed odd. What if we didn't ask? Customer service was lacking after I mentioned my experience. Wouldn't go back.

Cons: customer service

Wow

I was in PA for work and read reviews so decided to go to dinner at Blue Sage. I’m used to small portions at vegan spots so I ordered an appetizer, the tostones, and the Korean bbq cauliflower tacos on the GF blue corn cakes. I was blown away! The tostones are definitely made to share since it’s a HUGE portion of the fried plantains (think large chips) and a delicious avocado, pickled onion and corn guacamole style dip. Then. THEN. The tacos. Crispy tempura cauliflower covered in the most savory, slightly spicy Korean bbq sauce, topped with pickled onions and spinach and garnished with a savory black garlic aioli. I had plenty of leftovers. I’d like to say that I enjoyed everything as my lunch the next day at my conference but let’s be real- those tacos were calling to me from the hotel mini fridge so I savored them shamelessly late night while watching bad tv. Eat here. You’ll never regret it.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Flavor!!, Gluten free

Food so good I went back two days later!

Had a great meal here! Of the two appetizers, two meals, and two deserts we ordered, only two substitutes had to be made for entirely vegan and gluten free. Taco shells were replaced with "blue corn johnny cakes" and a cheese sauce with a cashew based substitute. Our server was very friendly and the interior was much more spacious and attractive than you would guess from the outside. Went back with more friends two days later!

Pros: Easy vegan substitutes, Flavorful and colorful food, Nice ambiance

Cons: You drive right by if you don't know where it

Limited vegan options

Their menu only has a few designated vegan menu options but says that most dishes can be made dairy free upon request. What this means is that rather than replace animal ingredients with vegan versions they just remove the item from the dish. You get to pay the same amount for less food plus the meal is not the way the chef originally intended. Yay.
I'd really like to see more designated vegan dishes here and I would definitely become a frequent customer.

Pros: some vegan dishes, large dining space, service good

Cons: limited designated vegan dishes, no vegan ingredient versions, they just omit food

Disappointing

I'll put this disclaimer in here first. One, I didn't pick this restaurant, my step mother in law did. Two, I have really not gone to fancy restaurants, so keep this in mind as you read. I am really inexperienced with fancier menus and ingredient lists. That being said, I kind of hated this restaurant and would put it as my least favorite place I have ever gone to. I couldn't make heads or tails of the menu, and both personally and as a vegan, I rather like to know what I'm eating. But every ingredient listed was some foreign thing that I had never even seen before. The service was fine, but not helpful in figuring out the menu, and the place was small, crowded, and loud as a result. The food just didn't taste good, and no one in our party of four seemed to really enjoy the meal. I couldn't even finish it, and that is a rare occurrence for me. If you are used to this kind of menu and food, I'm sure it's great, but if you are looking for recognizable ingredients, family friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and tasty, simple food, don't go here. They didn't do anything wrong, they just didn't do anything right.I want to give it one star but of course I can't.

Pros: Had vegan options... sort of

Cons: Loud, crowded, Menu was not understandable, Food was not good

I could live on luna buns.

We stopped here for lunch while on our way back to Doylestown. Hands down, this was one of our better decisions of the day. The lunch menu only had a couple things on it that were already vegan, though there were things that could be made dairy free. I tried the luna buns and the vegan sandwich and they were incredible. I am amazed that I ate the entire thing because it was so much food, but it was so good, I couldn't help it! I will definitely be going back. Also, they are moving to their new location a couple doors down and across the street in a week, so I will have to check that out! I definitely recommend the luna buns! They are SO SO SO good!

We drive from Washington, DC just to eat here

We found Blue Sage on the recommendation of our hotel while visiting Philadelphia. We were meat eaters at the time (now vegan), and wanted to try something different. OH MY LORD. The blue corn asparagus tacos are amazing. And the soups.....I don't know what they do in that tiny, tiny kitchen to create these soups, but they are the best I have ever eaten. We have actually gotten up early on Saturday, driven from DC to PA so we could eat both lunch and dinner there, gotten a hotel room for the night, eaten there again on Sunday and taken a ton of soup to go. Do not miss this place!!!

Pros: Flavorful, Friendly, Adventurous

Cons: Tiny- need a reservation

Pretty Good

While visiting in Newtown, PA, I went here with family that wanted to spoil me by going to a vegetarian restaurant. It was a great atmosphere and service. I really wish the butternut squash soup was vegan, my mom had it and it looked/smelled great! She inhaled it. My dad had the tomato, which he said was taste-y. My husband got the Blue LT and he was stoked on it, he now wants me to recreate it at home. My dad had a salad, completely finished it. My mom had the slider appetizer as an entree with shoestring fries, she really liked it. I got the asparagus tacos appetizer as an entree, it was alright. I asked for no cheese and they stuck daiya in the tacos instead, not terrible but I only like daiya in small quantities. We got the caramel toffee with chocolate buttercream and caramelized banana for dessert, it had a big gob of the buttercream, a thin brittle like triangle of toffee and half a medium banana. I'd like to go again but would order something entirely different.

Pros: most items can be vegan, service, ambiance

Cons: no cheese means daiya instead?, veganize the soups please!

Very flavorful and big portions!

Excellent! My husband and I split an appetizer and 2 entrees and had to take home leftovers. The portions were really big (and they brought out chips and bean dip at the beginning of the meal)! Dishes were very flavorful too - we had a lentil dish and their vegan shepherd's pie. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is there was quite a wait even though we had a reservation, and there could have been more totally vegan options I think for a place like this (although certain things you could request be made vegan). They have a brunch on Sunday with organic coffee so we will be going back to try that for sure!
