Amazing - Edit
EDIT:
Read moreVegan Deli and Butcher no longer operates at Peace Love Coffee, but this place is still all vegan and a nice option in Saint Charles. Their menu includes a variety of vegan hot dogs (Chili/Cheese, Greek, Chicago style etc) as well as soups, salads, coffee drinks, and a very nice selection of bakery items (doughuts, cupcakes, rotating items like lemon bars, etc.). They also have vegan grocery items such as chocolates, cheeze sauces, jerky, dressing, hot sauce, etc.

The former chef of Utah Station recently opened the Vegan Deli and Butcher! I tried it today and it did not disappoint. Hot sandwiches are served Wed-Sunday, and only items out of the cold case the other days. It's a good idea to check Facebook to make sure they are open and to go early for food, as they seem to be selling out of hot food by 3 PM. Hopefully they will be able to ramp up as time goes on. But as for the food...my husband and I tried the French Dip and the Hot and Peppery, both made with vegan beef. Both were so good! Other sandwiches available today were the Reuben, meatball sub, and I think a couple other ones. The (all vegan) cold case had potato salad, egg salad, pasta salad, pepperoni, sliced beef, etc. They also had vegan baked goods such as cookies, danishes, doughnuts. A few packaged goods like chocolates and breads as well. I'm so happy to have a place like this in Saint Charles, and Main Street is such an adorable location. Please help them flourish!

Thank you so much for the kind words and honest review!
Read moreWe have standardized our hours by closing on Mon-Tue and 7-7 Wed through Sun with the kitchen open at 11AM until we sell out.
We are prepping food everyday as much as we can store.
We are consistently going longer into the day but yeah we still sell out on busy days.
We are also offering some cold sandwiches and wraps in our grab n go cases for those occasions we have sold out of hot food.
Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you at the counter again soon!

Good options! - Edit
Got the Reuben hot dog, a coffee, and a pop tart with no complaints! It’s a bit hard to find as it’s down the stairs and the signage isn’t great to direct you down. Market was good too, lots of vegan chocolates and other fun things

I didn’t know what to get (so many mouthwatering options) so I asked the cashier her favorites...Ruben & Philly Cheese Steak... I went with the latter and I am very satisfied! Warm, tender, cheesy goodness.

Grateful for this place! - Edit
We’ve been three times now and the food has delighted each time. We buy deli case items to bring home, too. Masked, distanced, delicious, and outdoor seating available. Online ordering and curbside pickup would bring my family there weekly.

Perfect. - Edit
I enjoyed the vegan food at Utah Station and was really excited when this restaurant was announced - especially since it was going to be fully vegan. I went opening day and have been back 3 more times in a little over a week. So far for the sandwiches I’ve tried the tuna melt, french dip, hot and peppery, reuben, and BBQ. Each one has been perfect.

Best sandwich I’ve ever had - Edit
I don’t remember what a Reuben tastes like but, i’d bet the one I had here was better. This was the first time that my non-vegan partner was impressed with the food. Not only is the food amazing, the staff is incredibly friendly and happy. I can’t wait to go back again and again so that I can try everything available. I call this a crossover vegan restaurant as it reminds me of when hardcore merged with metal to create something new and exciting.
Read morePros: The Reuben, The staff, Great for to see what they’re missing

Thank you for recognizing what we are doing is dramatically different than any other Vegan eateries, much less restaurants in general.
Read moreI mean who makes their own vegan meats and sauces from scratch? we do!
Who is dedicated to a 100% Vegan menu, across the board, no exceptions? We are!
We are a place where anyone can find something tasty and we are convincing people everyday going Vegan doesn't have to be bland!
Keep it spicy!
