Not Fully Vegetarian - Edit
Though they're listed on Happy Cow as vegetarian, they are not completely so. They offer real fish sauce with some of their dishes. Very vegan friendly in spite of this.
Pros: Food was delicious
Cons: Not fully vegetarian as they offer real fish sauce

Amazing! - Edit
This is my favorite restaurant in Charlottesville. They serve delicious food, fast. It's an assuming restaurant right on the downtown mall, and everything I've had has been filling, well seasoned and unique.

Delicious Fare in a Hurry! - Edit
I ordered from The Spot for the first time today and was really impressed! Kathy was friendly and engaging, and the food was ready really quickly. The Bahn Mi was so delicious! So many flavors and textures, and I can't believe how scrumptious the tofu was. I'll definitely be back!
Menu is 100% vegetation, most things are/can be made vegan.
Pros: Great menu, Friendly owners, Fast service
Cons: No seating/indoors

Wonderful. :) - Edit
This place was wonderful. It was a very small place on the corner, but it sure did deliver. The food was amazing. I had "The Bowl of Wonderful" with a curried tofu. The person with me had the caramelized onion noodles with the ginger sauce. This was my first time really eating out as a vegan, but i have been vegan for eight or nine months. It was really great to have some great vegan food. :) The woman working there was really nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend it.

You have to go here - Edit
This was my first time in the Charlottesville area and searching for places I can eat (I am gluten free and vegan so options are usually limited). The Spot had good reviews so I decided to check it out- I was not disappointed. Julie and Kathy were more than accommodating and helpful and even leaving there I was so excited to try my food (I got the Cup O Wonderful with vegan BBQ and noodles with carmelized onion tofu). I got one for lunch and one for dinner. Let's just say I had to find something else to pull together for dinner because I ate them both! It was absolutely delicious. I also have a very sensitive stomach and system and was perfectly fine with both of these items. Clean ingredients. I planned on going back the next day and was sad to find out they were closed Saturday so I could not but I will DEFINITELY be back next time I am in the area. Thank you Kathy and Julie!!!
Pros: Excellent food, Friendly Staff, Good Vibes
Cons: none
