Incredible experience all around - Edit
The vibe in this place is so beautiful from the moment you walk in. They're adequately staffed and everyone is sweet, knowledgeable and working as a team. Front of house, bartender, runners, and deli staff all went above and beyond. Food was the best I had in Charlotte. There was live music as well under the tent and it was just an all around great experience.

So many options! - Edit
I would probably never rate an all vegan restaurant less than 5 stars just for the fact of how rare they are and I cherish that. But I had an amazing experience the girl in the from was so sweet and helpful and the menu has so many options. And how can I forget to mention all the pastries!

Used to be better - Edit
This used to be our favorite local restaurant, but after a few underwhelming experiences we’ve slowly distanced ourselves. The menu was better when it first opened, the service has become inconsistent, and the prices are way too high for less than exceptional food.

Flavorful Vegan Gem with Great Vibes 🌿 - Edit
Pretty good restaurant — everything was very flavorful! The onion rings were amazing 🤤 We sat outside, and the atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend if you’re in Charlotte — great spot for comfort food and chill vibes.

Tasteless - Edit
It is hard for me to write this one.
Read moreWe ordered food, Buddha was so bland and tasteless, then Gyro had French fries and mushrooms in the wrap, and nothing’s vegetables like normal Gyro. Lot of liquid from mushrooms. Horrible.
Not impressed.
First moment I thought of chef Gordon Ramsey might help them to improve their food, kitchen, storage etc…
It tastes like soulless.
Also the price is so crazy.
Not worth.

Oh my yumminess - Edit
Just the most inspirational vegan cafe I have been to around the world! The food is delicious and can order anything as it is 100% vegan! We had brunch and then went back later for tea and dessert. The staff are friendly and the place has a vibe. Food just feels like love is in it. Been back again for tea and cake. I will miss this place when I leave North Carolina.
Read morePros: 100% vegan and brunch items. Yum! , Vegan Inspiration throughout the whole cafe. , Live music outside (check times) cool music inside
Cons: Parking! Hard to find on a weekend

Lot of flavor and a lot of love - Edit
There’s a lot of diversity on their menu. Their waffles are fantastic and their burgers. One of my favorite items are their salads because it’s packed full of protein and other veggies. They can be pricey but it’s a lot of food and a lot of flavor.

Cute restaurant with tasty food! - Edit
We ordered the Hip-Hop Chick, Señorita Bonita, Kale Salad, and the Crispy Peri-Buffalo Wings. The Hip-Hop Chick and wings were 5/5 amazingly delicious!
Read moreI was a bit disappointed because I ordered Señorita Bonita but was given a Crunchy Mom instead. The Crunchy Mom was just okay- I was really wanting a burger, but I didn’t want it to go to waste.
The staff was incredibly friendly and I love the atmosphere! Can’t wait to eat here again and try more!

Best South African Vegan in NC - Edit
Oh My God, Oh My Soul. If you are looking for an experience that captures all of the best parts of Charlotte into restaurant. You have to try Oh My Soul.
Read moreFirst to pique your eye is the decoration of the restaurant that takes an unapologetic approach to veganism. There is great benefit making vegan approachable to the unconverted, but there is a charm that brings to my face to see a restaurant to layout all the benefits of veganism in the architecture and design of the building. And, thanks to the wonderful friendliness of the staff, this full-frontal veganism still feels welcoming.
Speaking with the owners I learned, that the married duo were the first to open a vegan restaurant in their home country of South Africa before focusing on their Charlotte location. What an amazing accomplishment. With that in mind, the cuisine focuses on an American-South African fusion that does not feel too foreign for an American patron.
We ordered the mafia gyro and the Makhulu burger. And I do not know if it was intentional for the American audience, but I can say that these were the largest portions of food I have experienced at a vegan restaurant before. It feels strange saying this, but maybe it was too large. Like, so large it was difficult to eat. It’s really the only slight I could whisper on their otherwise amazing restaurant. I’m prepping myself from the rotten tomatoes being thrown my way.
The gyro and hamburger is made with a house-made faux meat that perplexes the mind. It is on par (or maybe better?) than impossible meats, and I have no idea how that’s possible in their little white shack.
If you are in Charlotte, you really have to experience Oh My Soul. I twill be coming back every time I am in town.
Pros: Unapologetically Vegan, Friendly Staff, Large outdoor sitting area
Cons: So much food

Vegan fun on Noda - Edit
This restaurant is a staple for my husband and me. I love the bowls. He loves the house-made burgers. Sunday brunch is always excellent. We also appreciate the deli and often stop in to stock-up on Rebel Cheese. They have inside seating now, which is a huge plus for us.

Amazing food with South African flavors - Edit
I have been following Oh My Soul for awhile on Insta and we were finally able to visit today. The small interior has the order counter and a large baked goods section. Outdoor seating is in the rear in a garden setting. Heaters were available for each table if needed.
Read moreThe food is what brought me and it did not disappoint. Portions were huge and every bite was packed with flavor. My wife had the Mother Earth Bowl and I had the Vuvuzela wrap (with falafel). We shared the Filthy Fries. I have had falafel in many different settings, but this was some of the best. Soft and flavorful. The pickled veggies were perfect and then there was the great adobo sauce. Now the Filthy Fries are the star. It was a massive plate which easily could have been a meal on its own. So good! There was so much food, my wife had to get her entire bowl to go. It was a fantastic meal. #Veganuary
Pros: Great food, Friendly service, Huge portion

Amazing brunch - Edit
The food was decadent and the cocktails, expertly crafted. The French toast melts in your mouth with crunchy sugar crystals, and the hollandaise sauce/bacon/tofu on the big ben were out of this world! Would love to come back for the sammies, street corn, burgers, smoothies, and cheese sampler!

So Delicious- fav vegan spot in Charlotte - Edit
This place is a gem. The servings are large, the food is unique, and the bakery always has new things!! It can be on the pricey side
Read moreHeads up! There is a 15% service charge already added to every order. They still flip the square tip screen to you and the tips start at 18%. I always tip, but I started coming less bc my meals were so expensive- after I realized the service charge I understand that I was tipping 35% or more! Helped me be able to afford coming back 🙏🏻 love this place
Pros: Unique choices
Cons: The hard to catch double tipping

Awesome vegan oasis in Charlotte - Edit

It should be a vegan Monument - Edit
Decor first: they do a magic trick. There are Vegan messages everywhere, but it isn't in your face! It's there to be admired if you like.
Read moreThe patio brings me here when there are closer places to eat.
Food: Banging. "Lekker." Gyat smacking good food. Try everything. It ate. That is just the restaurant like part. There is also a deli counter with deli food and deserts. It's the only place in NC to buy the famous Rebel Cheese and their unbelievable brie. (Good enough to fool and blow away the sharks on Shark Tank).
Bar: The drinks are more like what you would get at a rooftop bar at a big city's most expensive hotel. Swanky. Hand crafted in front of you, yet more quality focused and flavor experience than juggling shakers. (Even though some drinks are fascinating to watch being made).
Final note: I understand the owner, Richard, is a bit OCD about cleanliness and hygiene. A huge plus in my book.
Pros: Food, Service , Patio

Love the fresh in house made food - Edit
I always make a special trip to Noda to get food here when I am in Charlotte for work. I love the spring rolls and the desserts in the case. I’ve honestly never had a less than excellent items from here. The wait can be a little long but the vibes are great and it’s fun to look around at all the decor or people watch on the front porch while waiting for your order.

Tasty but pricey - Edit
I mean sure the food is good but I can’t justify the price. I spent over $30 for breakfast and I only got one dish and a coffee. That’ll probably be the only time I go here unless I get a substantial raise, lol
