Yummy Vegan Food

Friendly staff, freshly made tasty food! Uses faux meat but it’s better than the real thing! Clean environment.

Neat place

The food, service and location were all good. I got the breakfast burrito, which was very filling, but a little salty. Definitely worth checking out.

Pros: Cool location, Great service, Nice variety of choices

Cons: Saltiness

Great flavor and texture

Located in a food court. Plenty of places to sit. The food was delicious. I had the Crunchwrap Supreme which indeed was crunchy but not dry in any way. Also the Cheezesteak was a flavorful mushroom/cheeze combination. I understand from the friendly proprietor that there is a Dominican twist in there and I really enjoyed everything. Of course I also sampled the cinnamon buns ( really good!) and of course I consumed it before I remembered to take a picture!!

Great Find

We were in Reading for a concert at Santander Arena and were excited to find an all vegan place right up the street. We quickly checked in and hot footed up the street. It's located inside a food court in a repurposed old bank building. We tried the 6 piece "chicken" tenders and fries and the falafel Pita with sweet potato fries. I originally wanted the Spinach Coconut Chickpea Curry and the owner/chef felt badly because there wasn't enough left. She threw in the "small" amount (which was actually quite a bit) free of charge. Everything was amazing.
P.S. We also got two of the cold pressed juices which were a delightful refreshing treat!

Pros: All vegan, Generous Portions, Cool atmosphere

Clean Takeout Containers

I enjoyed the Complete Brunch--a waffle, syrup, two sausage patties, vegan egg, potatoes, blueberries, and strawberries.

Pros: all vegan, big portions, lots of seating

Cons: single-use plastic, pay-to-park

Holy Shiii 😋

SO GOOD. SO GOOD. SO GOOD. My first time here, I ordered the beef & cheese empanada and mozza stix. I had to double-check to make sure this stuff was vegan because it tasted SO legit. One day I’ll get some of the healthier options but I was hungry for some of my favs today 😋

Pros: Prices, Menu Variety

Cons: Parking

Amazing that this food court downtown has an all-plant spot

Alan Schuman saves old historic Reading properties and makes beautiful things out of them. I don't know how he does it. This was a crumbling bank at 6th and Washington which many people remember from long ago. It is now what looks like 2 ground floor spaces inside, with restaurant stands where the tellers once were, and you can still see the vault. Look up at the ceilings. The people who work in this area are so lucky, and I am so lucky to have an all-vegan spot downtown with a large menu to work my way through. Upstairs are apartments and businesses.

If you don't see anyone at Clean Plates in the back on the left, ring the bell. They cook in the back. We had already had lunch but snacked on a few things and took the rest home: tender and savory mushroom cheezesteak sandwich, a huge portion of fried glazed Brussels sprouts, and a big empanada stuffed with Impossible meat. Their fresh pressed juices are delicious too.

There is a large common dining area with polished black tile and a cute long raised area on the side. You can only get in one door right near the corner; I wish the other door was open. Pulse Cafe right beside CP also has vegan options. I will be back to try many things. Parking is tricky but available in front with a credit card and on side streets with Park mobile. There is a garage nearby on Reed Street and parking in back that I am not sure of the rules for. Extremely friendly service. Outdoor seating is coming soon.

Pros: All-vegan downtown!, call-ahead for your order available, empanadas!

Cons: Parking tho I have been twice & could park close
