Relaxed atmosphere, great food!

Peacefood is one of my favorite vegan restaurants in NYC. The food is unique, but very reasonably priced, and delicious! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very relaxed, and fun! The decor is neat and the set up of the restaurant makes things very casual and comfortable. My favorite dishes the Fried Seitan Medallion Panini and the Pan seared Shanghai dumplings!
Definitely a place to try! They also have great smoothies and drinks :)

Pros: reasonably priced, fun atmosphere, friendly staff

Cons: loud during rush meal times

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.

Great vegan restaurant with raw options!

My first time at the restaurant, and would highly recommend this to any vegan or vegan with a raw diet.
I loved the raw Lasagna!

Lovely staff and simple, yummy meal

A variety of options—a something-for-everyone kind of place. I was craving something simple after so much food in the city on this trip, and the spaghetti squash with cauliflower, mashed potatoes and mushroom sauce was very comforting.

Pros: Outdoor seating was great!, Attentive staff, Variety of options

Chic pea fries are made with crack

Try to eat just one, try not to have dreams about them, try not to eat all of them before I get there. Lots of amazing food and the best desserts, incredible ethical vegan owners

Pros: Chic pea fries , Seitan sandwich, Chocolate mousse pie

Cons: They don’t have one in NJ…. Yet!!

Cheesecakes out of this world!

I took my boyfriend here for lunch, but we mainly went for the cheesecake! We had the peanut butter and blueberry cheesecakes and they were both amazing. We also had the potato pizza and picnic plate, which were nice. They also had a good selection of hot drinks, but sadly weren't offering any juices or smoothies when we visited. The servers were super nice and made sure we got a table where we could easily store our suitcases.

Pros: Amazing cheesecake, Plenty of options, Friendly, relaxed staff

Not my favorite

The atmosphere inside is lovely, but the food is just average. I think that it could use more flavor and more allergen-free options.

Great food and service

Went for the pumpkin quiche after much deliberation and it did not disappoint! Big selection of baked goods too. Probably my favourite place I’ve eaten in NYC so far.

Decent, Healthy Options and Fantastic Service

The last time I was at this location was in February/March 2017. From what I could recall, it appears they reduced the number of items on their menu by about 1/3. Disappointing.

I ordered a cup of the day's soup, Green Split Pea, along with the Raw Sushi Roll. The soup was really delicious, perfectly seasoned and quite satisfying. The sushi was little more than adequate and though keeping in mind that comparison is the thief of joy, I could not help but compare it to the sushi I've had at Beyond Sushi. PF's is nowhere near as good, but it was passable and clearly one of several healthy items on the uptown location's limited menu. Once again, I found myself unable to avoid comparing, this time the uptown PF vs. downtown locations of Peacefood Cafe; the downtown location comes out on top as far as menu options, spaciousness, and ambience. Nevertheless, I do find PF Uptown to be one of the best options on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, so if you're in the area, I recommend you go there.

P.S. Megan, my server, provided excellent service; was very attentive and responsive, and never made me feel rushed.

Pros: Tasty, healthy options, Attentive and friendly service

Great 👍

The food taste well. Employees are friendly and helpful. We had filled dumplings as a starter and they were amazing! Not included on the normal menu. I had the Japanese pumpkin sandwich with tempeh. I really liked it! And strawberry cheesecake was the best vegan cheesecake in my life! The portions are smaller! Definitely enough for me but my boyfriend was starving.

Pros: Speciality of the day - steamed filled spicy dumpl, Strawberry cheesecake , Friendly staff

Cons: Smaller portions than usual

I just visited Peacefood after a long gap. When I lived in nyc I used to go regularly for lunch. The charm of this establishment and delicious food hasn’t changed.

Incredible Pastries

Love stopping by Peacefood Cafe for a wide variety of great vegan desserts. The raspberry crumb bar is incredible, and their carrot cake is the best I’ve had since going vegan. So many other options like vegan cheesecake slices, strawberry shortcake, cookie sandwiches, and more. The savory menu is also great for lunch or dinner, but in my opinion the desserts are really the star of the show!

Solid Food and Desserts

Honestly, I keep coming back here mainly for desserts. Always fresh and delicious. I’ve tried a few of their food items, nothing was disappointing but food comes a little slow.

Pros: Scones, Macarons, Cakes cakes cakes

Cons: Slow cooking

+1 on the desserts. Scones and coconut macarons are unbelievably good. Kitchen is slow though, so not a quick lunch spot, but if you have time, definitely worth a visit.

Always amazing…

This is an Upper West Side staple if you’re vegan. I’m never disappointed whenever I visit. Today, I just dipped in for a snack. I had the tiramisu which was silky, creamy and of course delicious. Always money well spent.

Pros: Great tasting food
