Not your average vegan fare

What a gem! Between us we had a sandwich and fries, a bento box and a noodle salad. All we're brilliant - even my fussy tween hoovered hers up. Lots of veg and interesting tastes and seasoning. Woman on the counter was super friendly too. Loved it!

Pros: Great choice, Friendly staff

Cons: Not somewhere for a relaxed meal, Not many seats, No toilets

Always Great

One of my favorite little Chinatown spots! Staff is always Ace & their fries kill!! Had the vegan bbq “pork” sandwich combo & it was very satisfying!! 🤩😋

Pros: Food quality, Fries, Friendly staff

Cons: Only one location, Needs more sustainable packaging (less plastic)

So good! I love this place

I have been here several times and it’s always great! I had the vegan chicken salad and it was perfect. Make sure they include the dressing if you are getting it to go! I also had the juice which was fresh and delish. They also have cake! I think it’s from vegan treats, so yummy!

Pros: Quick service

Cons: Small place

All Vegan All the Time - and Delicious!

This was my first time here, and I sure hope it's not my last (I haven't been down in this part of Manhattan since before 2020, and I'm not sure when I'll be back - but this place may have me returning sooner than I'd thought!)
I ordered the Vegan Fish Fillet Bento Box, as per the recommendation of Angela, who took my order and provided excellent customer service, which comes with a soup - yes, even on this warm, spring afternoon in NYC - as well as an order of the Salt Pepper Mushroom, listed as a side on the menu.
As soon as I took my first sip of the soup, I knew I had scored with this place. Satisfying, yet somehow light and refreshing, and the Bento Box contained perfectly steamed broccoli, along with tasty and perfectly seasoned sauces. Actually, I was so full that I had to save half of the Salt Pepper Mushroom for later on.
Before I left, I decided to get a small lemon iced tea, as the temperature outside continued to rise and it was perfectly sweetened with agave nectar, a perfect refreshment to top off a perfect springtime lunch at Spring Cafe!

Pros: Light, Clean, Airy atmosphere , Excellent customer service, Not least, the food!

Thank you for reviewing Spring cafe. I frequently go to this area and was unaware of this vegan spot. I will be trying it in the very near future. In part to your wonderful review.

Baos are so good!

I love this place! All of the bao I tried were super great, but I think the braised tofu bao was the most authentic. Sweet potato fries slapped and the hibiscus tea also was great. 10/10. Amazing. $15 combo with two baos and fries and a drink is so worth it!

Pros: All vegan, Very yummy, Good price

Leckere Burger, fairer Preis

Kleines Restaurant/Imbiss, dafür eine tolle Auswahl an Burgern, Sandwiches, Salaten und Bowls.
Geschmacklich hat es uns definitiv überzeugt und auch die Preise sind in Ordnung für die Verhältnisse in New York.

Pros: Gute Auswahl , Lecker , Faire Preise

Cons: Wenig Sitzgelegenheiten

Super lecker !!

Der Laden macht von außen nicht so einen guten Eindruck. Das Essen ist aber umso besser.!!

Allerdings davon drin nur 40 Minuten sitzen, was ich sehr merkwürdig finde. Aber es lädt auch nicht wirklich gemütlicher Weise zum sitzen bleiben ein .

Pros: Sehr lecker , Günstig

Cons: Nicht so tolles Ambiente , Sitzen nur 40 Minuten erlaubt

Counter meals

The service here is fast and the seating is sparse. The food is solid. Except for the soups which are liquid. Everything on the menu is worth trying at least once but the Beyond Meat Bento Box is a sure bet if you only have one shot at ordering.

Fast and friendly

We had a bento box with soup, bao buns, juice and cake. The bento box was huge, great value for money! My partner had two different bao buns and said they were OK, and we both felt the cake could’ve been a bit more moist. Overall a nice experience, I would definitely recommend the bento box if you’re hungry and in a hurry!

Große Portionen

Die Portionen war wirklich groß und die Preise waren sehr gut. Leider war das Seitan-Chicken versalzen. Auch die Suppe, die in dem Menü enthalten war, hat leider nach nicht sehr viel geschmeckt und meinen Geschmack überhaupt nicht getroffen.

Pros: Große Auswahl, Verschiedene Menüoptionen

Cons: Versalzener Seitan

Delicious Fast-food Lunch

My boyfriend and I were visiting the Big Apple from the UK. We stumbled across the 100% plant-based Spring Cafe for lunch on the way downtown. It is a small place, meant mainly for takeout, but there are a few seats inside and outside. Inside is light and modern, decorated beautifully with plants. We both went for the Hawaiian Vegan Burger with fries and a Hibiscus ice tea. It was absolutely delicious! And good value for money. I cannot recommend it enough.

Pros: Absolutely delicious, Friendly staff, Good value

Cons: Limited seating

Go-to in Soho

BRO I LOVE THIS PLACE. I go here whenever I need a bite in soho. Lots of options,(mostly w imitation meat cheese). But there’s also a few items with just whole foods, if that’s important to you.

The have things like sandwiches, baos, smoothies, juices, and cake.

Everything there is good, pretty cheap. Good portions.

Pros: Cheap, All vegan

Yum!

I had the BBQ burger combo with salad and hibiscus iced tea. All of it was delicious! Not sure how someone else considered this affordable though. Surprisingly enough, the salad was a more expensive side. I spent over $18 on just these three items. So yeah, if you just want to try one thing, I’d definitely recommend the burger.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Expensive

Excellent quick meal

Delicious vegan fish and chicken lunch specials (especially the fish) for about $10.95 each. Nice hot soup included, good serving sizes with plenty of rice. A surprising find in this location! Can't wait to eat there again!
