This is a welcome addition to the Harlem neighborhood!

Lyn is such a gracious host and her dishes have such a warmth and classy flair to them. Amongst the vegan dishes, I really enjoy the scalloped potato in coconut oil that’s in the brunch menu, as well as the vegan burrito and zucchini noodles. There is a special coconut ice cream dessert with Cacao dusted on top which is to die for!

Pros: Decent Vegan options , Healthy/low sodium, Friendly staff and cool vibe

Cons: The avocado fries are not vegan

Cozy and airy with awesome veg. options

I've been here twice so far, second time was even better than the first - we had more people and shared everything, which ranged from good to really, really good. I honestly keep thinking about going back and ordering everything on the appetizer menu. My son is a vegetarian and we can have a tough time in restaurants sometimes (most salads and all veggie burgers are out), but there were lots of vegetarian options - we had several that were great. We'll happily go back.

Pros: Excellent Food, Healthy Food, Friendly

Love this place!

Great place and nice atmosphere! Staff is super nice and knowledgable - they answered every question I had and even asked the chef to be sure.
Love that they offer options for my whole family - even organic baby food(called little people food, how cute!). Stunning cocktails(some non-alcoholic too!) - will have to come again for date night!

Pros: excellent food - fresh ingredients, friendly staff - answered every question , nice vibe - cozy and chill

Amazing Eats

I love this place. It’s stylish, yet comfortable and affordable, has fantastic food that’s well plated, with lots of flavor... ( that you don’t feel guilty eating ), and it is great for families ( earlier ) or even a late night date or hanging out with friends ( later ). The low inflammatory menu ties into her expertise from “The Metabolism Plan” but she doesn’t scrimp on exploring and testing new flavors from around the world, frequently expanding the menu to concocting new found libations. Yum! I’d give it five stars if I could, ( but since we have to follow the rules for even partially non-veg reviews, - we can adjust the five stars to four. It’s fantastic.

Pros: Vegetarian with some non-veg options, Amazing food ( that’s also anti-inflammatory ), Kick a— ambiance. Like seriously.

Yum

Can't say enough great things.
Great food, great cocktails and Lyn-Genet is a REAL person, not just the name of the place.
Great spot.

Cozy healthy restaurant

Had a pleasant meal here; unsure if I would go out of my way to eat here, but it was a good option as I was coming down from a work event in the Bronx. I asked the owner what she would have of the vegan options. She said the Tandoori Veggie Burger because it would be filling and is interestingly spiced. I thought it was tasty, but a little too ... soft? The burger filling had a consistency of mashed potatoes mixed with veggies, but crispy on the outside. The sauce for it was BOMB though. I scarfed it down because I was hungry, but might choose the Thai curry next time. The burger came with a large portion of roasted veggies that I took with me bc I had no room to eat any more.

The vegan pâté looks really good too. If I’m back, I’m definitely starting with that.

Pros: Fresh ingredients , Nice space! Would stay to do work, Friendly owner/staff

Cons: Don’t use salt (they have Himalayan salt @ table), No espresso drinks :(

Cute spot with some vegan options

Nice new restaurant with a cozy interior. It's the perfect place to hang for a while. The servers and owner are super nice and helpful. There are a few vegan options for appetizers, entrees, and a dessert.

We got the mushroom/lentil pate and avocado fries with drinks. The pate came on two small pieces of toast, not what we expected but tasty.

The avocado fries were panko crusted and great for what they are. The dipping sauce was great but we kind of wanted some regular fries after, so we asked of we could get a basket (not offered but we saw that they had fries with entrees). They came with cheese on them so we nicely asked if they could be remade. The server happily obliged but unfortunately they came back with cheese still on the bottom half of the fries, as of the staff had just scraped some cheese off and sent them back out. This was in the first few weeks of business so I'm hoping that they've spoken to the staff on the importance of dietary needs and allergies, especially considering it's a health focused restaurant.

The owner was there and she was super nice, sending us out an apple strudel on the house. She said it was originally made with butter but going forward will use avocado oil to have more vegan options! So that was great.

I gave it only 3 stars as I felt the prices for portions were quite high for the area, and they only had one vegan entree. The food was tasty but not mind blowing so it's not a place we'll likely be back at. Otherwise I think it'd be a good option with a group of mixed eaters or if you want a nice quiet place for a drink!

Pros: Cozy interior, Nice staff, Lovely owner

Cons: Small portions, A bit expensive, Kitchen needs to be better educated on vegan food
