Best Vegan Restaurant!

I've been going to this place for years and it deserves more recognition. If you're visiting the area you MUST come here no matter your diet, you won't be disappointed!

Pros: Delicious Food, Tons of Variety, Great Desserts

Cons: Food can be oily

Pretty good all vegan place

I went to the place twice. Ones when it was at old location. I enjoy flavor of food but unfortunately everything is way too greasy for me. I do enjoy their desserts a lot. And wish they were close to me.

Bland - I wasn't impressed

We ordered the chickpea salad, the onion petals, nacho salad, cheeseburger bacon slider, chicken nuggets kids meal and the seitan Sammy. Everything tasted very bland and very similar. If I had to guess, the only spices used are salt and pepper. We spent over $100 and won't be back.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: No flavor

Yum in the Tum 🤤

It’s always nice to know that even if your order is messed up or wrong, it’s not filled with animal products 👍🏼🙌🏽

Food is always yummy, service is usually fast, and staff is friendly and accommodating. Buffalo Chick’on littles are 👍🏼🤤😍

The restaurant itself is big with indoor and outdoor seating. Though there is a step, with a little muscle, it is wheelchair and stroller accessible. High chair available.

Pros: 100% vegan, Large restaurant , Friendly & accommodating staff

ZERO FLAVOR

I’m so bummed to say that this place was simply awful. We got the Oyster Po’ boy (fried oyster mushrooms with zero flavoring, really just an insult to mushrooms), breakfast sandwich (just salty), Chicken Littles (fried, zero seasoning), cheese steak (floppy seitan with flavorless sauce). The burger was okay. The salad was fresh. That’s about it.

Kinda insulting to vegans. It’s not supposed to be like this. Just because it’s vegan doesn’t mean it’s supposed to be flavorless.

Fantastic!

Update: We’ve eaten here three more times since my initial review and it’s been fantastic each time. I’m still partial to the eggplant “parm” hero. So good!

I cannot go to Orange County, NY without stopping by this place. We’ve been multiple times and we always get the eggplant sandwiches. Seriously, they are the best!

Good Vegan Junk Food

Pleasant people, pleasant food. I love going here, and always have a pleasant experience. Love there sandwiches, they can be a bit messy, but all the best sandwiches are.

Easy parking (25 cent parking nearby) and I love the vegan themed pop art.

Pros: All vegan food, Vegan Junk food 😋

Order takeout for a Better Experience

First and foremost, the lack of air conditioning on a 90 degree day was difficult for our family of six. The location and atmosphere were less than ideal and we opted for sitting outside at the high-top tables, as they're were exactly enough seats for us. It was colder and a bit more comfortable sitting by the busy road since there was a slight breeze.

I was excited to try the chickpea tuna sandwich, as I've never had chickpea tuna but was disappointed as they paired it with a toasted sub roll which was cut entirely open. The hardness of the roll squished the tuna out of the sandwich with every bite, leaving me eating roll, lettuce and tomato while the tuna plopped out onto the basket. It was quite a messy ordeal to eat the sandwich, as I used a fork to scoop the tuna back into it. An untoasted kaiser roll would have better a better pairing.

The burgers, fries and onion petals were fine and my son enjoyed his VBall sub but, the sweet girl working the counter wasn't knowledgeable about how the food is prepared, as shown by the kids burgers arriving with lettuce and tomato that she said they wouldn't have and my tuna including the tomato she said it wouldn't have.

Prices have certainly increased since the most recent photos of the menu were posted.

The food was good despite being costly but, the restaurant could have been cleaner and in better condition.

Pros: Plenty of choices, Tasty, Kind owner and staff

Cons: No Air Conditioning, Busy, hipster area with terrible traffic situation, Unappealing restaurant interior

Delicious!

The food was exceptional, with tons of options! Plus, the staff and owner were thoughtful and attentive. You could tell they were excited about their food and restaurant.

I am somewhat of a seitan connoisseur myself, and I found their seitan was delicious. Excellent crisp on the outside, not dry or rubbery on the inside.

Definitely go if you’re in the area!

Pros: Customer service, Array of options, Large area inside

Cons: Coin paid street parking (25¢ per hour though)

I wrote this 2 years ago, but it still stands!

Went here for lunch today with my family and the food was absolutely AMAZING. I had the Vball sub and it was out of this world delicious. It was served on a super fresh semolina roll and the texture and flavor of the Vball and cashew parm were spot on. We all tried each others food and mutually agreed that everything was equally amazing.

I knew I had to leave a review as soon as we were greeted by the owner Nancy upon walking in. She was incredibly friendly and very accommodating. I believe she was the only person cooking today and she handled our four person order, large takeout orders, plus other diners orders like a pro! Our food took about 10 mins to come out (which is record time compared to other local restaurants). So excited to have a vegan restaurant in Chester and I cannot wait to try more of the menu!

If you haven’t tried this place yet, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. TGIV has something for everyone.

TGIV has moved to Goshen, NY since I originally wrote/posted this review and her food is still absolutely amazing. She has even more options than when she was in her old location. You will not be disappointed.

Pros: Delicious food, Very friendly owner, Great location

Cons: Can be a bit pricey since relocating

Vegan Sandwich HEAVEN

11/5/21 New favorite place for full meals as well as sweets when in the area — mainly, errand shopping in nearby Middletown. More-Than-Worth the 15min extra drive.

My bf who eats mostly veg loved his Saucy Seitan with added Cheez ($15 plus extra 1.50). I wasn’t starving but got an order of 8pc plain Chick’on Littles with a side of hot sauce, which I gobbled down pretty quick cos they were so good! The batter and crunch were spot on fantastic and even the subtle flavor of the plain were as great as I was hoping.

Also snagged a bag full of sweets as they carry quite a large assortment of Vegan Treats from Bethlehem, PA. Two donuts, one cake slice and a giant cheese danish later and two fully satisfied tummies.

The lady behind the counter was very sweet, too. Always great to have loving folks behind the operations! You are Appreciated. 💚

Will be back ASAP!

Vegan comfort food

Love the food here! Favorites are the vegan wings and fried mushrooms. The front is stocked with baked goods from local bakeries, fiancé and I had cannolis the other day which were excellent. You must go here if you are vegan or vegan-curious!

A must stop

I visited them a few years ago in their former location and was pleased, but their new spot has it topped. Unique items like Riceballs and potato croquettes, fresh juice and lemonade, and probably one of the northernmost restaurants that carries Vegan Treats. The owner is super friendly and grateful. As Legoland has no Vegan options (even being dishonest about it through email), this is a must do for anyone visiting the area.

5 minutes from LEGOLAND

If you are vegan and going to LEGOLAND you must plan to stop here! If you are not vegan and going to LEGOLAND you must plan to stop here and then become vegan. The food is delicious and the menu has so many dishes that you’ve never had vegan. There is great outdoor seating and the indoor dining room is spacious and comfortable with beautiful plants. The oyster po’ boy was sooooo good, and portions are huge. Something for everyone and desserts too!

Pros: Comfort food, 5 minutes from Lego Land, Unique dishes

Thank goodness for this restaurant

Found this gem on a recent trip to Legoland with the family. It’s roughly 2 miles from Legoland and should be a must for any vegan visiting the area. The food was amazing, the owner was extremely friendly and helpful, and the only complaint I have is we live too far away.

Pros: Oyster Poboy! , Friendly , Delicious

Cons: None
