UWS staple for vegan food

I go to Peacefood often, and have never had a dish I didnt enjoy (except maybe the roasted potato pizza). My favorite items are the miso tahini sandwich, mac and cheese, lasagna, and chocolate cake. It's also nice that they serve the all-day menu in addition to the dinner menu in the evening (although they may not give you the physical all-day menu you can look online and order from either menu). The staff are always friendly and I never feel rushed during a meal. The prices are a little expensive, but really on par with other restaurants in the city. I do wish the they had lighter pastries like croissants, but the desserts they do have are good.

Pros: Delicious food and lots of options , friendly staff, Great baked goods

Cons: Busy on weekend nights

Vegan cheesecake!

I've been here for food a few times and enjoyed everything, but honestly sometimes I go here just for the cheesecake. It's so decadent, and there's no other restaurant nearby that offers something similar.

Rico pero costoso

Probamos 2 sándwich palitos de garbanzos fritos. Sabor delicioso, pero me pareció un poco costoso. Faltan opciones con tofu o seitan, ya que la mayoría son solo verduras y puedes agregar tempeh por un costó extra.
Al ser un local “natural” no tienen coca cola, así que nos pedimos un jugo de piña con otras verduras, que también estaba bueno.
La carta de postres estaba excelente. MUCHA VARIEDAD y muy rico!!!!!!

Pros: Postres , Atención

Cons: Proteína en las comidas, Falta Coca Cola

Brunch

A fantastic place to have brunch on a Saturday morning! We ordered the breakfast sliders, waffles & tenders and the biscuits & gravy. The server was super friendly and the sausage gravy was SO flavorful and the tenders were the perfect texture. If it wasn't so far from our hotel and other plans for the day we would have definitely come back for another meal or dessert!

Best food we had

One of the best meals we had (up there Witt UT47, but UT47 was not fully vegan). Both the plantain lasagna and sushi are highly recommended. I had the berry cheesecake and my partner had the pb chocolate cake. Both good (his better ;))

Pros: Amazing food, Good service

Cons: No wifi , Bit pricy (but for really high quality)

Good food

This was my first time at this location. The menu seems to be identical to the downtown location. The food was good but I like the downtown location better - this one is much smaller, pretty loud and felt cramped since the tables are so close to each other.

We had soups, sandwich, rice bowl and chocolate cake. Very nice and the cake wasn’t overly sweet, just right.

Cons: Very loud and cramped

waffles and tenders i almost doubted

had breakfast with a family here - it had things folks of all ages could enjoy. i got the waffles and tenders and truly questioned if they had animal products in them! they were THAT realistic, and seasoned super well. fresh juices and delicious drinks, large plates, small plates to share, and kids foods that were also delicious! prices are high - to be expected in the city; and the food was top notch, good quality #Veganuary

Excellent neighborhood spot

Good menu; everything seemed fresh made (got nachos, burger, and seitan panini), and came back a second day for breakfast baked goods. Berry crumble cake and carrot cake were the best ever.

Pros: Nice variety/options, Baked goods, Lots of things house-made instead of processed

best pastries

Peacefood is a cute restaurant in uptown, their tomato heirloom pastry was probably made with angel tears because it was so good. The pumpkin cream cheese muffin was sooo fabina. They have a more formal lunch and dinner menu as well!

Pros: Pastries

Pas mal

En manque de légumes et de fibres pendant mes 2 semaines à New-York, j'ai pris un plat avec une purée de panais, du chou kale, des pleurotes et des pois chiches. C'était très bon, surtout les pois chiches qui étaient grillés, mais il n'y avait aucun féculent, et j'ai trouvé que c'était beaucoup trop cher.
Je n'ai pas pris de dessert à cause du prix, j'ai pris une bière puis une tisane à la place du dessert et il me semble que j'en avais eu pour plus de 45 dollars (pour une seule personne) !
Dès qu'on veut du végétal à New-York c'est hors de prix, et ce restaurant n'y faisait pas exception malheureusement.
Le personnel était néanmoins très gentil.

Pros: Restaurant entièrement vegan, Personnel sympathique

Cons: Prix trop élevé

Great neighborhood place

Nice restaurant on the upper west side. We had MacnCheez and some seitan panini.

We were able to sit outside in a cozy cubicle and watch the parade of people passing by.

Food was great and service was friendly.

Great place for lunch.

Pros: Good food, Nice place

Good pastries

One of the only UWS vegan brunch places. Entrees are mid-tier, and a bit overpriced for their quality. The carrot cake is delicious, so is the parmesan rigatoni. So are some of the other pastries

Pros: Carrot cake, Parmesan rigatoni with cutlet , Caesar salad w cutlet

Essen hat gut geschmeckt, der Salat zur Quiche hätte noch ein Dressing vertragen.
Unser Kellner hat uns sehr regelmäßig Trinkwasser nachgefüllt.

Okay

Service is great (if a little cloying), food tolerable but not great, incredible mini-brownies. The Caesar salad and raw chocolate slice I had were not very good, but made bearable by the good service.

Pros: Service, Mini-brownies

Cons: Not very tasty food, Overpriced and yucky dessert

Savory and sweet variety

This place has a great variety of savory and sweet options. We went for dinner on a Friday night and even though the street was packed we had no trouble finding a table here. Portions were big.

Excellent excellent excellent

Tons of tables, it was buzzing but now crowded. We sat ouraide and the server was attentive and kind.

Started with the chickpea fries. 10/10. Delicious and unique, like an americanized falafel.

I got the chicken and waffles and she got seitan pesto panini. Both were wonderful.

The sandwich was huge, so we took it home. It's made with fresh-made focaccia and an amazing pesto sauce.

Can't wait to come back

Peacefood is not Peaceful

Order was not accurate but pushed to believe I was wrong, soup and meal not warm and they debated with me, saying they knew it was hot instead of just making it right. In addition, said I’ve voiced concerns about up charges in the past, which I never have. I always order straight off the menu so unsure of where that came from. I said they must be mistaking me for someone else. I’ve never met the server or manager before. All this in front of my kids when I took them for a treat out for dinner. Manager was nice, so while I didn’t agree with how they handled it, I didn’t make a big deal of it in front of my kids. Took my meal to go and heated it at home. Sorry to say I will not be going back there, which is disappointing. Food is mediocre at best recently and the staff does not respect its customers. Very sad but not worth the price anymore. Not all of us are made of money and when we take our kids out for a once in a while treat, we would at least like to enjoy our time there.
