Fantastic place - Edit
Location is nice and the place offers a cosy environment. most importantly they have a very friendly staff and healthy food, which are kind of rarities in NYC. everything is awesome, but a special mention goes to the pecan doughnut and the plain cheesecake that are indescribable.

Such a delicious selection! - Edit
This was such a great find. We initially went in for coffee and cake and then returned for dinner a little while later. The range of cakes and pastries was incredible and I wish we had had more time to try them all!

Impressive @ the Upper Westside - Edit
This was our first visit here. We decided to go out to eat for Christmas dinner. We don't go out to eat much since it can be difficult finding a raw vegan friendly restaurant for me to eat at. I follow a raw vegan diet. My husband is vegan friendly.
Read moreI was excited to try the raw sushi and the raw lasagna in which the waitress convinced me it wouldn't be too much food but I only received the sushi and a cooked vegan calamari dish instead of the lasagna.
The waitress apologized and took it off the menu but never asked about what was the other thing I wanted. In hindset, it all worked out although, initially I was a little disappointed but after having the raw cashew cheese cake, I was definitely full.
My husband initially follows a carnivore diet but on days like this, he is vegan friendly and he thought the Christmas special of the vegan meatloaf, green beans, mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and homemade stuffing was one of the best meals he's had in a long time AND, he was impressed with the decent or big serving size plus, he enjoyed the hot chocolate and cake for dessert. Whenever, we go out to eat at a vegan restaurant, I think my husband always worries about whether he's going to get a small serving size and be left hungry afterwards but this wasn't the case here. He was more than satisfied.
All in all, we both agreed this is a good place to come back to especially, for dessert or if we're in the area since we live in the outer boroughs. We definitely plan on coming back with our niece who is vegetarian. We think she would really love the food AND the retro vibe of the restaurant. Plus, I still want to try the raw lasagna. Who knows, maybe by then they'll have a couple more raw vegan options.

Fave UWS restaurant - Edit
This is my favorite restaurant on the Upper West Side! The sandwiches and juices are great but the chickpea fries are my absolute favorite. The service is usually pretty quick and always welcoming. I've never had a problem getting a table and am always seated quickly.

Vegan Heaven in a nice area - Edit
Delicate vegan food, for lunch and dinner as well as coffee and cake. So many options that it was hard for me to decide! All the cakes and cookies looked great! We tried the chickpea fritters, a peanut butter cheesecake and a cookie sandwich, everything was very good! The atmosphere was very relaxed and the service was friendly and attentive! Really worth to go!

Decent but not the best - Edit
I had the seitan panini and the chickpea fries. They sounded delicious on the menu and looked great, but didn’t live up to expectations. I would go back but order something else.

Great lunch - Edit
Everything was delicious and fresh. The desserts are to die for. We made this part of our museum of natural history trip since there was no decent vegan offerings in any of their cafes. Was just a quick walk there from the museum.

Worth the visit - Edit
This place is lovely and the food is delicious. We had the curry and the pot pie as well as the raw key lime pie for dessert and all were great. Although they were out of a lot of menu items and we only found out as we tried to order them.

Absolutely excellent - Edit
It was a great experience. They had awesome specials and a full menu. (Sometimes vegan restaurants feel limited in their offerings, but they had such a diverse variety of foods and it didn’t feel limited at all.) Will definitely be back.

One of my favourite spots - Edit
One of my favourite vegan spots in NY, great and varied selection of dishes as well as a ton of amazing sweets (that I usually don’t have room for after a meal because the portions are huge…) - special shoutout to the fantastic chickpea fries! Also like the atmosphere of the place, it feels warm and welcoming.

UWS staple for vegan food - Edit
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.

Vegan cheesecake! - Edit
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 - Edit
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.
Read moreAl 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 - Edit
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!

Good food - Edit
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.

waffles and tenders i almost doubted - Edit
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
