So good! - Edit
Had the buffalo chkn sandwich and it was great! Definitely hit some nostalgic old school notes. The potato fries were the show stoppers today tho. Excited to try some more of their menu!

Refreshingly good and relaxing atmosphere - Edit
I had the mushroom shawarma and chili cheese fries. Too much food for me but I just wanted to try both. I was not disappointed, I could eat either several times a week. Delicious food and great service.

Vegan gem in Northwest Raleigh - Edit
While traveling through the Raleigh Durham area we checked HC for a good vegan place open on a Sunday night and struck gold with Pure Vegan Cafe. The restaurant is bright and friendly with seating indoors and out. You order at the counter from a huge menu of American comfort food (plant burgers and chicken, fries, etc…), Indian dishes, and breakfast food all day. I ordered a burger with Mexican flavors (chipotle, avocado, and jalapeños) and my dining companion ordered samosas and Chana Masala. The food arrives quickly. My burger was tasty with fresh avocado a little bit of jalapeño heat to give it a kick. My dining companion devoured his samosas with gusto and then moved on to the Chana Masala, which he pronounced delicious with just right amount of heat. I splashed out and tried a Lemonade with sea moss which the guy taking my order assured me had health benefits. It tasted great. If you are in Raleigh whether you are vegan or not, this place is a great place to try.

Very good! - Edit
I had this delivered and it was really good. A little heavy on the spices, but it was delicious nonetheless.

The food is NOT fresh - Edit
I ordered the chili hot dog and was really disappointed. The chili tasted like it came out of a can rather than something made fresh. The cheese was mediocre, and the crunchy topping only made it worse.
Read moreThe chicken tenders were unusually dark. They looked overcooked, which made me wonder whether the fryer oil was old or if they had been refried.
Overall, the meal wasn't enjoyable, and I don't plan to ever eat there again.

Vegan Chorizo tacos - Edit
The vegan chorizo tacos are so flavorful and amazing. I added avocado and it exceed my expectations. The “chorizo” was seasoned so well that it tasted like actual chorizo. I will absolutely order again the next time I’m in Raleigh.

Good food - Edit
The staff was friendly and welcoming, the menu was diverse and the service was quick. The tacos and chili had incredible flavors. Minus one star due to cleanliness. The tables outside looked like they had never been wiped down as well as trash on the ground. The resturant itself was a bit skeevy too. Dirty windows and floors. A bit of a cleaning would really make this a standout vegan cafe.

Perfect Meal - Edit
I got chili cheese fries and the chicken bacon ranch with a chip witch. I took half home for dinner and got two meals for $30. It is well worth the price.

Stellar! - Edit
Loved this place! Prices were very reasonable for an all-vegan restaurant. We got two meals, a huge thing of potato salad, a drink, and dessert for under $50 (including tip). That’s not the norm for us!
Read moreEverything was good, flavorful, and well-made. Loved the art work on the walls for sale, benefitting a local sanctuary. The chai drink and potato salad were my favorites. I’d gone back just for the potato salad- huge portion and tons of flavor. Very fresh!
Staff was very friendly!

Just okay - Edit
I really wanted to love this place, but it was just okay. I ordered the Southern Comfort Sandwich and the half waffle.
Read moreSouthern Comfort Sandwich: Would have preferred the sandwich without the sauce it had a bit of a weird taste to it I was not too fond of but being the first time ordering here I wanted to try the items as described. Next time I would order without the sauce. The English muffin was nice and fluffy, I did like that.
Half waffle: this was also just okay. It was advertised as coming with maple syrup but it actually comes with a corn syrup based pancake syrup. I was a bit disappointed by that as I love real maple syrup and would not use the one the was served with it.
Pros: All vegan, English muffin
Cons: Not real maple syrup., Odd flavor

I really want this place to succeed - Edit
They’re clearly working really hard on the business side of things, great atmosphere, super convenient. But I get the sense that they don’t change their frier oil often enough or something. All the food here has this weird samey taste to it.
Read morePros: atmosphere, website/convenience/hours, the fusion stuff is cool
Cons: I’d rather have a higher quality focused menu, everything tastes the same in a weird way

I just ordered here and got the. Real fast sandwich and halt waffle and totally get what you mean by the same taste. There was a similar flavor happening in both dishes that I can’t quite figure out.

An amazing deal - Edit
I got both the idly in sambar and the deconstructed samosa. Each was only $8, and each alone would have been a full meal. Complex spices and great flavors. You just can't get deals like this many places these days. I'll be back for sure, next time to try their American food.

Incredible - Edit
Our daughter who lives in Wake Forest brought us to Pure Vegan Cafe for lunch.
Read moreThe food was delicious. Definitely has an Indian influence and spicy- which we love. Save room for dessert - the Biscoff cheesecake was the so tasty. The staff recommended getting two (one to take home) - wish I’d listened.
You won’t go wrong eating here.

Excellent casual breakfast and lunch spot! - Edit
Stopped in while traveling through Raleigh. It’s a great spot with a fully vegan all day breakfast and lunch menu. They have a good mix of health conscious foods and treats. My husband and I ordered breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and biscoff cheesecake. Everything was delicious. My teenager isn’t vegan but really liked the peanut butter waffles. Great food, nice clean atmosphere, and friendly staff. I wish we had an option like this in Pittsburgh!

Not so good - Edit
I like the idea of mixing popular Indian street foods and waffles etc, and I appreciate the commitment to cruelty-free. Nice art on the wall too.
Read moreHowever, is it healthy? Indian street foods involve either, or both, a lot of deep frying, and a lot of sugar!
But the worst thing was this: the 'maple syrup' advertised to accompany the waffles is about as unhealthy a chemical mix as you could get anywhere - see photo! They gave me agave syrup instead - sweet and tasteless, a poor substitute for maple syrup!
Then the avocado 'toast' was served on an English muffin, which wasn't toasted! And the 'spice' sermed to be just garlic powder (which I personally dislike). Very unsatisfying breakfast!

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.
