A Wonderful New Vegan Restaurant in Boone - Edit
We ate here Monday and had a great lunch. The build-a-bowl concept allows for lots of choices. Everything was tasty and we felt it was reasonably priced. We will definitely be back soon!

Super nice staff, food is fantastic and fresh. It's super rare that I go someplace and don't have to worry about what I can and can't have -- it's ALL gluten free and vegan! My only complaint is that the main entry is a FIRE ESCAPE, but a worker happened to be outside and let me take the elevator up (am disabled.) Would recommend you take your food to go during this pandemic, since this spot gets a lot of traffic.

Unique dining experience with phenomenal food! - Edit
We LOVED this place. Mezze Day is the best time to eat here because of the breadth of options. This truly feels like a five star dining experience and is amazing for the price. We especially liked the rutabaga tofu pear! Menu is different daily. The chefs are super knowledgeable!

Wow!! - Edit
Their food is not at all what I was expecting. I was a little unsure at first, but I can’t believe how good it was!! It was all natural, plant based, and it was all home made! The people working behind the counter were very happy and excited, which made the trip even more fun! You should definitely check this place out if you want to try something new!!

Delicious EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. - Edit
The menu changes every day and it’s always amazing. All the produce is fresh and locally grown. You can’t go wrong with any combination of veggies, dressing, and nuts/seeds. I’m delighted every time I come here with fresh, flavorful food. Highly recommend getting a base of 1/2 grain, 1/2 kale. They also have good smoothies (try the date shakes!) and kombucha on tap. Go here!

Delicious, healthy lunch for our family - Edit
We visited Boone for a college visit today and were looking for a good place to get lunch. We never would have found this without the app (it is upstairs and tucked away.) we each enjoyed a delicious bowl. My only wish would have been for more protein (tofu, tempeh or beans?) Otherwise, we loved it!
Read morePros: Fresh, healthy food, Nice atmosphere , Quick service
Cons: Not very much protein available

Fine dining flavors in a quick and casual environment - Edit
It's so great to eat somewhere that you know you won't accidentally consume animal products. Eating here actually helped me fully transition into a vegan diet.
Read moreThe menu changes each day and is based on local, seasonal ingredients. I don't know if I've ever eaten such creatively cooked and season veggies all at once.

Absolute beautiful and delicious food! - Edit
This place is a MUST for all plant-based/vegan beings.
Read moreThis little place shares a space with a local yoga studio on the second story of a law firm. The atmosphere is amazing as soon as you walk in. The employees are very knowledgeable about the food and you can tell they care about the food. The menu changes everyday due to the face that the food they use is strictly local. I would have loved it if I could have eaten here more than once! Absolutely fresh, nutritious, and healing food. The flavors are fantastic and I think the portion is fitting.
Pros: Fresh food, Awesome employees, Healing environment
Cons: Plastic silverware/serving utensils

Changed My Perspective - Edit
I have been mostly vegetarian for 7 years with only exploring veganism over the past year. Kindly Kitchen changed the way I view salads. I wouldn’t even degrade what they make with the term “salad”.
Read moreBowls of veggies and nuts and quinoa flatbread and homemade tahini and so much more. I go every chance I get and have googled so many recipes in the months now that they’ve been open.
Even though I can now make my own cashew cheese and use it as salad dressing, I find something new and amazing every time I go to Kindly Kitchen. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to eat more vegetables and nuts. Their creative recipes inspire me to cook better for my family. You don’t have to be a hippie to enjoy Kindly Kitchen, but hippies are welcome as well.
Thank you for being in business!

Great place in Boone NC! - Edit
Wonderful place on the top floor of the Farmers Hardware building. Lovely location accessed through the shops or from the metal steps on the back of the building.
Read moreThe food is prepared from fresh ingredients as you order. Beautiful items to choose from. Everything we chose was delicious and fresh.
The owner was working and was passionate about his offerings. He gave very detailed descriptions of everything made that day.
The people being served in the short line ahead of me were elderly, and the owner was exceedingly patient in explaining all the options and ingredients to them. I sat at the table next to them and they left happy!
Best ever experience in Boone. Will definately go again. This is the type of place you would go to every day if you worked in town.
Hint: Have the coconut water

How to find Kindly Kitchen - Edit
Actual Address: 659 West King Street
Read moreActual Phone Number: 828 386 6005
Vegan food seekers, gluten free searchers and foodies we are on the top floor of The Shoppes at Farmers Hardware in downtown Boone. If the Shoppes are open you can find your way up to the top floor via the steps that meander through the building. If you are on King Street, enter through an old time looking door with hand drawn lettering for law offices, address 659 West King Street, but the best way is from the back using what is often called a fire escape, but is a substancial metal staircase on the back of the building leading up from the parking lot accessed from Depot street.
Whichever way you find us (no we have no sign;-) we are happy that you care enough about yourself to dig so deeply for good, wholesome food.
See you on the top floor.

Awesome Food - Edit
The food was wonderful. My husband and I stopped in this evening for the first time and everything was great. I had half pink rice/half greens with a potato cake, Gadu Gadu, Glazed carrots, pesto, and curry chipotle flax chips. It was so good, I ate the entire bowl. I cannot wait to eat there again. The cook/server was very nice as well and was very well informed about the offerings. Great place and great food!!!
