Good late night option, food ok

Imposible burgers were a little bland and cold; nonetheless grateful for a late night dine in spot with a vegan option.

Food pretty good, slow service

We went on a saturday and didn’t have to wait long for a table, but it took a very long time for our food to come. Vegan options are well labeled. Had the impossible burger, vegan banana pancakes, and oat milk matcha latte. It was all pretty good but not amazing. Note that the french fries share a fryer with meat, so for the burger you can ask them to swap with salad.

Great pancakes and milkshakes, watch the non-vegan extras

I had the matcha vegan milkshake and vegan banana pancakes, two of the main labeled vegan options on the menu. Both were excellent, but the pancakes were served with a tub of regular butter, which the server removed when I asked about it. They were also dusted with powdered sugar, which I don’t mind but is unlikely to be vegan. You might want to explicitly ask for these to be left off.

Nice that they have vegan brunch option

They have vegan banana pancakes! Other than that I saw an impossible burger, a vegan matcha milkshake and one vegan pastry on the menu. The pancakes are ok, I wouldn't go out of my way for them but it's nice they have them if you need to have brunch with omniscient. They get BUSY and service isn't great...hard to get someone's attention but the staff are kind.

Carb 'o plenty 🥞

I had wanted to go to a good old-fashioned diner, and I was happy to have the chance at a place that has a few clearly listed vegan items. I came for breakfast, where the main vegan item is the banana pancakes. 🥞 They also offer some smaller items, like a vegan muffin, and later in the day they also offer a vegan burger--though if one wants to have a vegan burger in this area, why not go instead to nearby Jerrel's?

Having read the previous review, I brought a book in case I needed to wait a long time to be served. However, my experience here was much nicer: the staff was very friendly and attentive, and the service was quick (my food came less than 15 minutes after ordering). The diner was clean and comfy, and the coffee ☕️ (from Jack's Stir Brew) was great--and as a plus, they did not charge extra for plant milk.

The serving of vegan pancakes was huge; enough for 1 1/2 to 2 meals. However, they had somewhat of an aftertaste; I don't get to eat pancakes that often, but vegan pancakes that I have had elsewhere I liked better. Pancakes are not uber-healthy in any event, and so if they are not ultra-delicious, why bother? On the positive side, there is a certain nostalgia associated with eating at a diner, and it is nice to find one that does offer some vegan food.

Pros: Friendly staff, clean, attractive diner, huge portions

Cons: Pancakes are among the few vegan items, and the pancakes are merely ok-tasting

Not worth it

Charming diner in a fantastic location. It's a worthwhile spot to visit if you're a tourist, but as a New Yorker who appreciates diners, I can't personally recommend it. The service is incredibly slow and lacks attention to detail; they tend to forget things like sauces. The vegan pancakes were disappointing, but I ended up eating them anyway after the extensive wait. Additionally, the side of hash browns I ordered was both cold and meager in portion size. I had hoped to develop an affinity for this place and return in the future, but unfortunately, that won't be the case.

Pros: Interior , Location

Cons: Taste, Service, Long waiting time

Didn’t get to eat here, but wish I could

Didn’t end up eating here — but we tried!
Went with patient omnis, and when staff told me their vegan pancake batter had gone bad and it wasn’t clear when they’d make more… we left. (Thanks for not serving me spoiled batter, though.)
The atmosphere was darling though — 60s diner vibes but very posh and updated. Warm glowing lights inside and gorgeous decor. Staff were kind. Mimosas on the menu on weekdays. Would have loved to eat here, but the only vegan breakfast option besides the spoiled pancakes were fruit or croissant/banana bread.

Great vibe and food

Soho diner is a great old school feeling diner, with amazing vegan options, including blueberry croissants and banana pancakes. Great coffee and really nice service.

Cute ambiance + great vegan food

I really appreciated eating in an All-Americana diner. 50s music played and I felt transported to the past. The vegan options were impressive. Albeit expensive for what they were. But they offer vegan versions of milkshakes, pie, burger, ice cream, and pancakes. Great spot to go with omni friends or family. Overall, I love this place!

Pros: Vegan desserts are yum , Rad 50s diner decor inside , Full bar

Cons: Expensive for a diner (but not for Soho), Outdoor area isn’t as cool as inside , No healthy food
