Delicious - Edit
Been on my list for a while. We finally got here and we really enjoyed everything. Got the Italian mix with oil and vinegar, BLT, Mac n cheese, and mozzarella sticks. Everything was truly incredible.

The BEST Vegan Reuben - Edit
Their menu is full of amazing choices, but the reuben is hands-down one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Do not skip this place if you’re in town!

Best of the best in Albany. - Edit
Joey is in many ways the very reason Albany and the 518 have such a thriving vegan food community. He is a punk master of seitan and DIY vegan meat, so it’s no mystery why Subculture reigns supreme here, even outdoing it’s previous iteration as Berben & Wolff’s (glad I’m no longer financing the non-vegan Wolff part, honestly). Everything here is good—EVERYTHING. And the menu only continues to grow and improve. The specials are always worth trying and the seitan wings are a very special Albany exclusive in the world of vegan wings. More than all of this, though, it’s just owned and operated by such great people.

Found this place in a recent trip to Albany using the Happy Cow app
Read moreI love trying Philly Cheesesteaks when restaurants use seitan as the protein. This version was way too salty and mushy. The Reuben was okay, might order that next time instead. The loaded fries (don’t remember the exact name and no longer on the menu) was the best part of my meal
Pros: 100% vegan

Delicious food and friendly service - Edit
My husband and I stopped at Subculture during a road trip to Toronto and we were not disappointed! We ordered the buffalo chicken wings, Philly cheese steak, and Italian sub and they were all so delicious. The guy at the counter was super friendly as well. No complaints!

Amazing food and nice people - Edit
Stopped here while traveling for work. I couldn’t decide what to try and asked about the mozzarella sticks but opted for the BLT. When my food came up they comped me some mozzarella sticks! I am so glad they did because they were amazing (BLT was too). I don’t know how they do it. Can’t wait to go back and try more items. Great vibes, food, and people I wish they were closer to home!

Yummy sandwiches - Edit
I got the Reuben sandwich which was bursting with flavor. There was a generous amount of seitan and cheeze and I left very full and satisfied.

Best vegan deli ever! - Edit
I’ve eaten at many vegan delis and nothing compares to Subculture. Portions are enormous (after eating lunch here, you won’t be hungry for dinner). My favorite is the Reuben but I haven’t been disappointed with anything.

Love this place - Edit
I’ve had several things off their menu now, all of it fantastic!
Read moreToday I had the Italian sandwich with added bacon and the Buffalo wings 👍🏻
Edit: just came back again today to try the special cheesy grilled tortilla soyrizo burrito and it was insane! The cheese on the outside of the tortilla got nice and crispy, tasted amazing too. Also got the mozzarella sticks which were incredible as well

Bring Everyone! - Edit
This is THE place to bring anyone that is thinking about going vegan or vegetarian! Some of the best vegan food around & you “can’t tell it’s vegan”. Some of our family members are resistant to trying vegan items & they’ve even loved their food. Their cold cuts are phenomenal & their pepperoni is THE best pepperoni I’ve ever had—even better than “real” pepperoni. You can purchase it prepackaged. We’ve put it on our pizza & it crisps up really well—it’s delicious! The only thing about this place that I’m not happy about is that they took the Cubano Sandwich off of their menu. Their Italian Mixed Sub is also my favorite, but I do miss the Cubano. Their wings are excellent—crispy & come with great sauces.

Comfort food, vegan style. The staff there was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially because we were not from the area. Definitely ask about gluten-free options because they have a bunch.

Wow. - Edit
This place is amazing. I think they have the best Mac n cheese I’ve ever had. I also had the tuna which was delicious, just a little messy. Next time I think I’ll get it in a wrap instead of a sandwich. Sandwiches come with chips and a pickle or a salad so it’s a good amount of food for the price. This place is a must if you are in Albany!
