breakfast! - Edit
Walked to get breakfast. Looked at reviews before ordering and lots of people said to get "bacon, egg, and cheese" muffin and apple cider doughnut. I did and it didn't disappoint. Also got a Sunset Proposal drink. Delicious!
Didn't care for the tall stools and eating counter, so I took it to-go back to the hotel.
Pros: Apple cider doughnut!
Cons: tall counter seating

Awesome sandwiches! - Edit
This chain is one of my favorite in NYC. You have plenty of choice and the sandwiches are awesome. The vegan cheese they use is so creamy! I'm really fond of it. I also really like their smoothies, even if they are a bit pricey. Definitely worth a try when near one of their locations. Prices are quite fair for the sandwiches and staff is usually friendly. Service is quick even if crowded.
Pros: tasty junk food, quick service, friendly staff, creamy vegan cheese

Pleasant but not outrageous. - Edit
I've enjoyed some meals more than others at Terri's. I find the sandwiches here range from very good to below average, depending on the day and what you choose.
I've also found that the menu is hit and miss.
On our last visit here we ordered the southwestern Chicken Melt which was filled with goodness and had greatex-mex flavors going for it (My wife LOVED it) but, The Chicken, Bacon, Ranch sandwich was EXTREMELY subpar. While (according to my wife) the chicken apparently tasted exactly like the real thing, you would have needed a microscope to find the bacon and the Sandwich was dryer than the Sahara (if there was 1/90th of a bottle of ranch in it than I'm Elvis).
I Honestly do not see what the fuss of some of the other reviews are about. A great Faux Meat Sandwich should be so jam packed with goodness, that you have to eat it with utensils. Here I could one hand the sandwich and there was little that would fall out. While I hate the murder of Animals, New York Delis get the basic concept of a lot of filling between 2 slices of bread correct, which is something you CAN get in vegan places like the Chicago Diner or to a lesser extent Blossom. On the other hand Terri's Sandwiches looks just like how carnivores stereotype Vegan food, lean, thin, and unfilling.
While it has some good offerings, with all the amazing vegan restaurants AND sandwich places in NYC, this wouldn't be my first choice.
Pros: Felt good after eating here
Cons: Some dishes are Dry & Bland, No Bathrooms or even sink to wash your hands!!!, Very little seating

Fabulous resto - Edit
Quick yet tasty vegan eats, which was perfect. Had the southwestern chicken melt and it was delicious. The portion was generous, I did not have any room for dessert. I can't wait to try more, because it was so good. Highly recommended. Wish they had more seating, but we ended up with takeout to eat in Madison Square Park.
Pros: Delicious, Quick
Cons: Limited bar seating

Amazing all around! - Edit
I was surprised to find out how small it was, but it was still a great experience! The employees were friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. I got the bacon cheddar chicken and ranch Sandwich, the almond delight smoothie, and a PB fudge brownie to eat there. All of it was amazing!! And the food was served to us SO fast, in only about 5 minutes. Also, the portions are pretty generous. Got a GIGANTIC PB cookie to take home and after eating the PB fudge brownie, I had to get another one before leaving to bring home. Such a great place and highly recommend:
Pros: great atmosphere, amazing food , generous portions
Cons: small

Allll the breakfast choices - Edit
Breakfast sandwiches- that's plural because they have more than one option, so rare! Tried the 'Egg' & Muffin, it was awesome! Couldn't resist an apple cider donut on the side which was also incredible. Places like this prove that we don't need animal products for great food!

Excellent food and smoothies - Edit
Another amazing vegan place. Must try Brazilian Bombshell smoothie, tofurkey sandwich, Thai mock chicken wrap. Excellent food and special dishes. The staff is also super cool and friendly with a good taste in music!
Pros: food taste & range, healthy ingredients, smoothies & juices

Great for breakfast or lunch - Edit
We recently stayed in NYC for a week and alternated between Blossom du jour and Terri for breakfast each day. All food here is vegan. The sandwiches are excellent - probably they have the edge over Blossom du jour as the sandwiches at Terri have a little more sauce and flavour but overall there's not much to choose between them "meatball sub","philly cheesesteak","avocado chicken" (allvegan)- if you want american style sandwiches they do around 6 really, really nice ones. Good portion sizes. Good shakes and I had the chilli one day which again was nice. Exactly want you want for breakfast or quick food. There's a few more seats than Blossom du jour down the road but both were great. Really glad we ate here.
Pros: Great messy classic sandwiches, all vegan, inexpensive
Cons: not a lot of seats

Good - Edit
Good eatery if you just want to stop by and get something to eat or a healthy snack and a smoothie or juice. Located in a great area, therefore it's a busy atmosphere inside. Friendly staff.

I Love Terri - Edit
Terri in Chelsea is my go-to take out spot when visiting New York City. Last time in New York, I stayed in Chelsea for a long weekend. I stopped at Terri when I arrived and stopped back several times over the course of the weekend. My favorite sandwich is the veggie. I have tried others, including the pulled pork and buffalo chicken and those were fine, but I just keep going back for the veggie which is one of my favorite sandwiches ever! The only sandwich that I did not care for is the Thanksgiving which just uses turkey "lunch meat" slices that I was not expecting and just did not like in this sandwich. Terri also has wonderful shakes, chocolate is my favorite, and smoothies, Acai is my favorite. I hope Terri expands and comes to other cities including my own. The staff is pretty friendly too.
Pros: Great food, Good service for take out, Decent prices for NYC

Great for take-out - Edit
Loved the food I tried here: Lady in Red juice (in a bottle in their fridge), quesadilla wrap, and a cookie. The quesadilla was really excellent, cheezy and spicy. But I was disappointed that there were only a few counter-type seats. There was a constant flow of people coming in to order take-out. If they could add a few tables somehow it would be perfect.
Pros: Nice variety of vegan fast food
Cons: Not comfortable for sitting

Tasty Wraps - Edit
I love EVERYTHING they have, maybe most the Asian Chicken Wrap. Incredibly tasty and yummy. I guess there is no wrong choice there. Staff is very friendly, prices are nyc-like.
Pros: Big variety , Friendly staff
Cons: too expensive juices

Awesome! - Edit
Went here on a recent trip, and this place is amazing. I had the thanksgiving sandwich (tofurky, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy...I forget what else) and a butterfinger milkshake. Both were super awesome.
The prices are a bit high, but it's good for a rare occasion or special day.
I would absolutely eat here again.
Pros: All vegan, Milkshakes
Cons: Pricy

Mmmm...chicken caesar wrap... - Edit
We got the chicken caesar wrap, which was amazing. I love the combination of vegenaise, tomato, and lettuce. We also got the Thai chicken wrap and it was good, but not amazing - something about it being hot and didn't taste fresh. The staff were so friendly. As we left they gave us a piece of fruit we had never tried before (mangosteen). It's more of a take-away place than a sit down and eat kind of place.
Pros: Super friendly staff, Great food
Cons: No bathroom, Not many seats
