It's All Good

The food is very good, there is plenty of seating, and the service is okay. The prices are on the high side, but not outrageous.

by Chloe is always great

I’d been to by Chloe a few times in New York, so I knew that this would be a good place to get food. I’ve had delivery and eat in from this location and both times the food was delicious. It is slightly pricey but the food never disappoints

Great food, not as great service

I ordered the vegan Mac n cheese and their lemonade, both of which were great (and I am picky with vegan mac). I didn’t give it 5 stars because their employees seemed less than enthusiastic to be there, which really dampened the experience for me.

Delicious!

I went with a non-vegan friend for the first time. We both loved it and would return! I got a veggie burger and air baked fries, and a Hostess cupcake. The veggie burger was good, I liked the beet ketchup! I can’t believe the cupcake was vegan, I have tried many other vegan cupcakes (like at the place at the Boston Public Market) and found them disappointing. This one was PERFECT! It definitely is on the pricy side for “fast casual” food but I think it is worth it!

fabulous

This spot made my wife love salads again! So many options for delicious things and would definitely try the market specials, they are tasty. It’s a huge space in a a trendy newly developed part of Boston that is wonderful, and parking is still 1000x easier than NYC.

Sucks out loud and I can't wait until it closes

This place is hot garbage. The portions are small. The location is obnoxious. You could make better food at home. And the staff are annoyed 12 year olds.

No. Really. You'll spend $40 here for 2 people and get a couple bites out of what kind of reminds you of a reheated Big Mac. It's pathetic how small the portions are relative to the price, and the actual food certainly isn't worth it. Most of the stuff on the menu is no better than heating up any given Gardein bag at home. There is absolutely positively no appeal to this McVegans tripe whatsoever.

And the staff. Oof. I know it looks like a Sephora, but you work at a vegan restaurant. Say hello to people. Make eye contact. Be a person. They hired exclusively bored teenagers to keep the vibe of Aerie suburban mall store that's been carefully cultivated here.

I cannot stress this enough: this restaurant is for people who hate food, hate vegan food, and hate money. There are way too many great vegan options in Boston to waste a cent in here.

Cons: The food is trash, The people are trash, The location is for 50 year old tourists

Best veggie option in seaport area

While visiting Boston for a conference in the Seaport area, I was delighted to see that there is a vegan restaurant amid the apparent sea of juice bars in this area.

My husband and I ate here three times, and we enjoyed the burgers, macaroni and cheese, smoothies, and pancakes. Of the things that we ate, my favorite was probably pancakes for brunch. However, the macaroni and cheese with extra 'bacon' was one of the best vegan mac and cheeses I've ever had.

I only wish, as others seem to have mentioned, that the prices were a little more reasonable. $40 for breakfast for two... that's a little steep (at least for this country mouse).

Pros: Amazing vegan mac-and-cheese, Great pancakes, Casual atmosphere

Cons: Little pricey

FABULOUS sandwiches, okay service

We had a lobster roll, a barbecue sandwich, and the pesto meatball sub. All of them were FANTASTIC. Based on their quality, I'd eat anything off the menu and expect to love it.

Cons, though -- the counter staff was disinterested and didn't know much about the menu. It seemed the woman who took my order was new, but wasn't being adequately supported. They forgot my fries (which I didn't realize until I'd already taken my to-go order out).

And, a big heads up: they don't have soda, and their branded juices are TEN DOLLARS EACH (but not clearly marked as such). And they were not great.

Pros: wonderful sandwiches, vegan lobster roll!

Cons: pricey, uninspired service

Hm

The burgers were okay, the mac n' cheese we ordered was very overcooked and mushy, all the serving sizes are small. However their cupcake (raspberry tiramisu) was good. The staff seems very indifferent and not warm at all. The prices are also very steep for mediocre food.

Pros: Yummy cupcake

Cons: Unfriendly staff, Very pricey, Overcooked food, Small Portions

So-so

I'm not a city gal but a small smoothie = $9?!

On the plus side, the place is super comfy, clean, and near South Station. It does have 1-2 things in the $5-$6 range. Beer & wine served. Food looked good, but small portions. Staff seemed pretty indifferent. :/

We love by Chloe! The food is amazing. We like their salads and their sandwiches. The spicy Thai salad in particular is to die for. The Guacamole Burger is also a favorite. And the deserts are delicious!

Pros: Delicious!

Good Service

The food here is always tasty and you get your food quickly. The food is veggie burgers, fries, salads, juices and brunch. This area is really great because you can take your food and go sit down on the docks and look at the ocean while you eat.

Pros: Changing specials every few months and items that , Gluten free options. , Quick and friendly service.

Tasty and Fun

I ordered the Pesto Meatball, Whiskey BBQ, and Large Mac N Cheese, and all this food lasted over two meals. The location is set back slightly from the street, but it is there, so if you have trouble finding it, just following Google Maps and you should be fine. I was blown away by the Pesto Meatball -- really tasty, really fresh, nicely presented, just excellent. The Mac N Cheese, and Whiskey BBQ were also really tasty, and I'd recommend these as well. The location itself is bright, shiny, inviting, and really cool looking. I ordered online to go, and their website was really easy to use, and the food was ready when I arrived. Moderately priced, along the lines of nicer vegan restaurants with seating. A few reviews have mentioned staff not being so friendly -- I didn't experience that at all, and thought staff was really friendly and professional. I'm definitely going back.

Pros: Taste, Presentation, Value

Cool place

We had the 'meatball' and the 'whiskey bbq' with fries (half half) and it was good! The fries could have been better and crunchier...the location isreally nice especially when sitting in the hanging chairs. Nice music. They also have delicious sweets like cupcakes and Co. I had conflicts going there because I heard about them sewing the actual founder Chloe which is just bad publicity but I still went because on my travels I have the deep urge to try out everything vegan I see. I don't regret it and would go again. Wish Chloe (the founder) the best though and I am excited what she might come up with in future.

Pros: All. VEGAN (even dog treats), Location, Yummy

Cons: Pricey, Bad publicity with current issues

Get the Guac Burger and the Sweet Potato Fries!

I was greeted by a very friendly person at the counter, and the service was fast. The place is beautiful, but I got my order to go. I will definitely be back.

Good Vegan Place

Don't have to search the menu and ask typical vegan question. I can close my eyes and order (for once).
My meat-eating friend was skeptical when I said the burgers were plant-based. The fries were perfect, burgers (guac, and whiskey BBQ) were top notch.
The cookies didn't impress me (may be because I'm not a dessert person). However the cupcake samples they were serving that day were pretty darn good.
Tad bit expensive, and serving size is relatively small, but worth it for once in a while.

Updated from previous review on 2017-06-04

Pros: Nice ambience, Very delicilous menu

Cons: Not the warmest staff I have seen, Expensive, and small serving size

Good Fast Food Choice

By Chloe is a very good fast food restaurant. Our burgers, a Classic and a Guac, were very decent. The french fries were soggy though. We also had a delicious Raspberry swirl coffee cake. The cake was cut into very uneven portions though - make sure you aren't shortchanged. The ambiance is neat, modern and efficient.
