Really annoyed!

I made a special trip here,
paid for parking,
walked way down the block,
only to find a sign on the door saying they closed early.
Ok, i get it, stuff happens,
but I was on the social sites and the website.
They couldve posted it somewhere.
So Im venting because this has happened many times when Ive should up to places after checking the website and social and theyve been closed.
Just another lesson for me to CALL before I go !!!

Really enjoyed!

Really enjoyed this place, the vibe & the vegan options. I got the vegan big green earth burger and it was DELICIOUS! Vegan cheese and whatever sauce they used was absolutely amazing.

Sandwichs passables

Beaucoup de choix vegan dans ce restaurant mais les sandwichs que nous avons essayé étaient décevants.
Le pain n'était pas grillé. Le tofu était en énorme morceau dans le banh mi.

Les sandwichs manquaient de saveur et étaient plutôt chers.

Miss the old menu

Menus changed but not for the better.

Used to be able to get an incredible Just Egg breakfast sandwich with aoli, pickled onions, and vegan bacon on ciabatta. They had amazing Beyond Burgers too, with inventive toppings. And sides.

Since the menu change, we were psyched to see so much labeled vegan, but really disappointed in what that food actually was. We got a BLT which was literally chunks of wet limp tofu hanging out of the bread. So weird!

The breakfast bowls are pretty good, but don’t always want tofu/vegetables. Adding Just Egg back, maybe toast on the side, would be great. Vegan baked goods besides typical “energy balls” or one GF cookie option, would be awesome too, especially at breakfast, maybe muffins or scones.

We don’t live close but we would make the drive for those old menu items, but not anymore. :(

I hope this place takes in the suggestions from local vegans!

Pros: Nice people , Beautiful location, Friendly atmosphere

Cons: Took away vegan baked goods , Took away Just Egg, Tofu not cooked

super fresh and flavorful

I got the avocado toast (one of the best yet) and a buddha bowl with added corn and cucumber. everything was really delicious, well seasoned, and prepared quickly. very generous serving size on the bowl. will definitely be back.

Went back for more

Stopped in for lunch because of the extensive vegan menu. Had the Vegan Banh Mi Bowl and added miso glazed tofu. The bowl is not under the vegan menu so be sure to look at the entire menu so you don’t miss any goodies. It was delicious and huge. Pickled carrots, mushrooms, cabbage, quinoa and some other tasty items. Super-casual atmosphere—order at the counter. Went back for breakfast the next morning before leaving town and had the Vegan Cowboy Plate with scrambled tofu, beans, potatoes, salsa with the Mean Green pressed juice. Friendly locals!

Pros: Vegan menu, Bright and cheery, Juice

Nice spot!

Multiple options on a dedicated menu and other options that I believe could be easily modified.

serves meat to vegans

We tried this place twice. Both times we ordered vegan options which were entered correctly on our receipt and they served us meat--once we ordered a vegan BLT and they gave us real bacon; the second time we ordered a salad which was vegan by default and they added chicken to it when we hadn't asked for anything to be added. If you go here, check everything you receive carefully because someone seems to want to make sure vegans eat meat. Super disappointing for a place with a long vegan menu, & evil.

Pros: extensive vegan menu, chocolate chip cookies

Cons: serving meat when vegan items ate ordered

Mmmm

Plenty of vegan and Gf options. Busy spot on the weekend. Nice outdoor seating options with good people watching. Clean bathrooms. Helpful staff. Tofu scramble was delicious. Looking forward to working my way through the vegan menu. Especially the waffles - so rare to find that v/gf!

Pros: Vegan menu section, Lots GF, Good portions + flavor

Cons: Serves meat

So man vegan options!

Pretty solid vegan food, loved the outdoor patio in warm weather. What is great about the place is the sheer number of vegan options. I really liked the home made burger.

Nice and clean environment

Many vegan options. I ordered the good morning superfood smoothie and the smashed avocado toast. The toast could have been a larger portion. It’s $7 for 1 thin sliced piece of toast.

I find avocado toast seems to always be overpriced and too small of a portion at every establishment

Lots of vegan options!

I’m a big fan of breakfast served all day and these folks offered a harvest tofu scramble bowl that didn’t disappoint. Their scramble was loaded with wild mushrooms, tofu, kale and topped with basil pesto. Really tasty and filling. We also went a little too crazy for their London Fog cookies which were so ridiculously good we had one as an appetizer and another for desert! Menu is very accommodating with vegan options marked clearly.

Pros: Nice and clean atmosphere , Lots of vegan options , London Fog cookie will change your life

Abundant options!

I hadn’t been to the Somerville one in years when we stumbled into this location in Newburyport today! There really is a ton for vegans (and their non-vegan companions, naturally). Today I got a juice and the Southwest salad.

Indoor and outdoor seating. Two single occupancy bathrooms.

Pros: Options, Sweet space

Good vibes, healthy, tasty

Nu Kitchen is a lively spot with many healthy and tasty vegan options, including grain bowls, desserts, and burgers. Good vibes! Despite it being crowded on a saturday afternoon, I got my food pretty fast.

So good!

I’ve been to both the Newburyport and Somerville locations and found the food at both to be fresh and delicious. Lots of vegan options, but the bahn mi bowl is my favorite (I’m on a mission to replicate this at home!). They also have baked goods and the GF Vegan chocolate chip cookie is amazing!

Tasty and filling

We had the Spanish Scramble burrito which was excellent, plenty of protein in a fresh and tasty package! I asked if they use a separate grill for the vegan options and they confirmed that they have a fully vegan grill. So the vegan options are genuinely vegan!

Delicious, plentiful bowls!

We got the Buddha bowl (add tofu), the banh mi bowl (add tofu), and an açaí bowl as take-out. They were all very delicious! I can hardly wait to return!
