Worth the time off I-95 - Edit
Very yummy and worth detouring from I-95 for a break. GPS put us on another road so we barely lost any time and got good food with friendly service.

Pure Delicious - Edit
Tried this place out for my birthday. Tried the avocado toast, green juice and purple bowl. The toast is super spicy. I loved it but was surprised. Take note if you don't like heat. Purple bowl was really good. Not too sweet. Very balanced. Wheatgrass was a little weak
Read moreChicken sandwich was ok, they were out of waffle fries. I got a golden milk and it was cold and awful.😡pretty disappointed
Update 1-15-2023 came back for another try. We got the PVC Tikki and the BBQ Jackfruit sandwich. Both were fantastic. I upped my star rating. We will definitely be back.

Amazing flavors, friendly service, and comfortable atmosphere - Edit
We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday. Service was prompt and friendly. They provided good suggestions to my daughter and helped her pick something out. I had my heart set on the chana masala wrap, which did not disappoint! My wife had the tacos and my daughter had a burger. There was a ton of food and we did not even finish the fries. Everyone really liked the lunch. There was plenty of seating and a comfortable atmosphere. We will stop again on our next trip to Raleigh.

Breakfast and Lunch were pretty tasty - Edit
My partner and I went here twice in one day because it was close-by and totally vegan. We had the french toast & waffle with strawberries for breakfast. We split them so we had both and they were pretty great. If you liked the french toast at Cracker Barrel, then you'll like the french toast here. It is not overly covered in cinnamon or powdered sugar. The waffle is fluffy. The bad part is that the "maple" syrup is made with corn syrup and other ingredients. The coconut cream is thick and yummy.
Read moreFor lunch we had the BBQ jackfruit sandwich and the buffalo chick'n sandwich. The jackfruit was a bit over cooked but it had absorbed the BBQ flavor well. I am not a huge fan of sweet BBQ sauce and that is what they had (I like NC eastern BBQ, this was not that). The slaw was made with kale. I did not like the slaw but my partner found it very tasty. The Buffalo sauce was very accurate and so was the ranch sauce. It was messy but very tasty. The chick'n wasn't the standard processed chunk of vegan protein, it was more similar to "chicken" and the breading was crunchy. Both the sweet potato fries and regular fries were amazing. I couldn't finish my serving of sweet potato fries and when I ate them later (cold) they were still delicious! The regular fries were not good cold.
I had the chipwich for dessert. It was chocolate chip with strawberry frosting. It was very delicious, but the amount of frosting was minimal. When I asked for more, the owner did not take the opportunity for an upsale, instead telling me that was enough frosting.

Favorite location - Edit
The food is delicious! We’ve had the backyard burger it’s his favorite and I enjoy as well!
Read moreThe fries are crispy but the sweet potatoes don’t come crispy.
I had the buffalo chik’n and the chik’n bacon ranch.
Buffalo had too much sauce for me personally but the chik’n bacon ranch was delicious! I recommend adding pickles to any one that doesn’t come with them!
We shared a chili dog I believe will double check that and it was soooo goood!
I’m not a fan of the sodas. I recommend the shakes/smoothies. I had the Java smoothie and it was so good I definitely want to get another!
I highly recommend this place!

Amazing place with awesome staff! - Edit
I went to Pure Vegan Cafe for the first time and was so happy with the service. Despite being busy on a weekday we got our food fast and it all looked like it was hand-made. We got a burger and hot dog plus wings. The menu is huge so I recommend ordering different things and splitting them.

Soooo delicious! - Edit
I literally just finished my food from here and had to leave a review. This was my first time eating here and I got the BBQ jackfruit sandwich and oh my goodness, it was so delicious! The best I've ever had! They have so many options on their menu and it all looks amazing, I can't wait to go back and try more :)

A Mixee Vegan Experience - Edit
The experience at this mid-tier vegan restaurant was mixed. The Brussels sprouts were undercooked, and the tacos and salad were just average. While it may be a convenient option if you're nearby, it's not worth a special trip.

What the what?! - Edit
I’m looking sideways at every person that gave this place more than a 3 star review. I will say that the menu is expansive so I may have ordered the “wrong” thing because with a menu that large it’s going to be challenging to get everything right. But I ordered what I was in the mood for.
Read moreThe smoothie: Mocha Mint was very tasty. I added flaxseed and really enjoyed the mix of flavors.
The juice: Novid19 orange was also quite delicious. The name got my attention and the tastiness kept it. It wasn’t too sweet or spicy but a great balance.
The drumstick wings: though they lacked enough flavor for my liking I loved the crispiness. They were fried to perfection and good when dipped in sauce. I did not care for the texture however and mostly ate the crispy flakes after the first one.
Chili dog: nothing about this was good. The chili was in clumps, the bread was too big for the tiny hot dog and it looked like dog food in the box. This was definitely the most disappointing thing that I ordered.
The macaroni: lacking cheese and way too peppery
Side salad: looked good but they forgot my dressing so I couldn’t eat it unless it lasts until tomorrow when I can find some dressing.
Overall if I wanted a good smoothie or juice and was in the area I’d definitely swing by but I don’t need to try anything else on the menu because it wasn’t with the $55 I spend.
If I could have given 2.5 starts I would have.
Pros: The creative smoothie selections , Ran smoothly and effectively , Lots of choices
Cons: Too many menu options , Too expensive for the quality

All Vegan! - Edit
Really expansive menu with something for everyone. My breakfast burger was fantastic. Chili cheese fries had so much impossible meat and it has a great seasoning. Cauliflower wings were good. My daughter’s peanut butter waffles were surprising tasty, the flavors really worked together. We are coming back while in Raleigh.

Shared a variety of breakfast options (breakfast burger, southern comfort, and banana toast crunch) and all were excellent. I would have them all again in a heartbeat.

Oooof. - Edit
I wanted to love this place so bad! I don't know if it's just the things we ordered weren't the best options, but I wouldn't go back based on our experience. The chick'n delight breakfast sandwich was inedible. I took a few bites, and each one caused oil to gush out of the patty into my mouth. Unfortunately, I threw 3/4 of it away. The waffle was basic and I was shocked that they served high fructose corn syrup "maple mountain syrup" on the side. Because of this, I asked if the maple syrup in the overnight oats was really maple syrup, or if it was also high fructose corn syrup. The employee shared that it was real maple syrup, but we found that hard to believe. My friend chose not to finish her overnight oats because of this. 🙁

Let us rate half stars, Happy Cow!
Read moreRating based on one visit to Raleigh location, subject to change. I appreciate that the menu has changed since relocating. I tried and enjoyed the sambar though the spiciness detracted from the flavor. The impossible kabobs tasted good but the texture was softer than what I’d prefer. I had a mango smoothie but couldn’t taste much over the banana. The new location seems to be generating a lot more foot traffic so I hope they do well in the area.
