Saved me hours and coins - Edit
We stocked up for the week at Taste and the quality and prices are fantastic. I made the mistake of “tasting” the orzo salad and it was somehow gone within an hour. So far, everything has been great and they have an excellent selection of frozen and freshly prepared foods. Perfect sizes for 1-2 people.

Woah... this was great! - Edit
Some people I know from work, who live in that area, told me about this place; the concept and menu looked great. Then they brought me a few meals as a surprise. The food was fresh and delicious, reheated really well, especially good for pre-prepared meals. The only downside of this 100% vegan meals-to-go place is that it's not in my area, but it's the type of business I enjoy supporting.

Fresh & Delicious! - Edit
We tried a few different Taste meals: eggplant meatballs, stuffed peppers, vegan chili, and ravioli.. everything was amazing! Very fresh and delicious. Really surprised at how fresh the meals were, given that they were frozen. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommend! - Edit
I already can’t wait to return. The food is delicious and very fairly priced. Unique dishes for those who want a dish that caters to someone who likes meat but wants to eat plant based and to those who are total planties.

Delicious! - Edit
I visited Taste for the first time over the weekend to purchase an assortment of items to try. Joe could not have been nicer & spent time talking with me about his products and about vegan plant based recipes in general. I have really enjoyed everything that I have tried so far! My favorites are the lentil & black bean soup, the tomato cashew soup (soooo good!!), the buffalo chickpea salad and the stuffed peppers (amazing!!). I have also loved not needing to cook as much this week as the dishes I purchased have been enjoyed for some dinners & lunches! I look forward to supporting & watching this business grow!!

Delicious and healthy! - Edit
We tried various meals, soups, salads, and one of the smoothies. Everything was delicious! My kids loved it! I loved that I was feeding my family real wholesome plant-based food ingredients! The prepared meals are perfect for days when you want a break from cooking but still want home-cooked-style healthy food. They also offer other great specialty products. My 17yr old daughter said she also loved the vibe of the store. Joe, the owner, was very friendly and welcoming.
Read morePros: Lots of plant-based meal options, Healthy, simple, whole food ingredients, Prices are reasonable
Cons: The use of blended vegetable oil to make the meals

So many delicious, prepared foods. - Edit
Joe worked for many years at his family's meat market next door. After becoming vegan in 2016, He introduced a few vegan items, such as the eggplant "meatballs" and chickpeas marinara, and they were a big hit. After trying a few additional vegan selections and seeing that there was a demand, even among the non-vegetarian customers, his family supported his efforts and helped him start his own shop next door, selling only plant-based items. It's been open for just over a week, and business is already bustling. I feel a special kinship with Joe, since my own father was a Kosher butcher in Cleveland, Ohio, and I'm a vegan. As he says on his "about" web page: "Taste: Plant-Based is a 100% vegan specialty foods store located on the Black Horse Pike in Turnersville, New Jersey, 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia. The idea for it came after years of working for my father at Meloni's Butcher Block, introducing several plant-based dishes, and seeing them boom into something customers actively sought out, even in a butcher shop. I went vegan in 2016 while pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition at Drexel University. Since finishing the degree in 2017, I completed a dietetic internship and tested to become a registered dietitian, earning that credential in 2019. That journey was not an easy one for me, and I struggled with imposter syndrome during and after my internship experience. I had put a lot of time, effort, and money into becoming a dietitian but ultimately couldn't see myself flourishing in that capacity. After much deliberation, I decided to combine my academic background in nutrition, my customer service experience at Meloni's, and my passion for all things vegan to offer tasty and nutrient-dense foods to my community. I also now have the opportunity to support local businesses that are putting out exciting and unique plant-based products. Taste: Plant-Based is a place for vegans to shop where they don't have to ask any questions about ingredients. It is also a place for anyone who simply enjoys good food, that just so happens to be free of animal products.
Read moreTaste: Plant-Based could not have come to be without the help of my parents, grandparents, and girlfriend. I am very fortunate to have them all in my life. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll find something you like."
Pros: The food is delicious. , Prices are good. , Knowledgeable, answer any questions about veganism
