The Veg Hub

Had the chicken with jalapeño ranch, and tried my friend's bbq Philly cheesesteak. Both were amazing! The Pellegrino sodas are also a delight, I recommend the prickly pear. I'm sad I can't give more than 5 stars. Out of the multitudes of vegan restaurants I've eaten at in my travels, this ranks right up at the top!!

This place was great! I had the philly cheese steak and chicken on a salad base DELISH!! The staff and chef are so sweet and very accommodating. I only wish the plates were available because I really wanted to try the Mac n cheeze but that won't be ready until March 😞 I would DEF go back great food and good vibes

This restaurant is amazing!!! The quality and taste of their food is just fantastic. I would go over and over again. I believe everything is homemade? I love their chicken melt on dutch crunch bread. Their chicken and macaroni and cheese is really good too. It's the perfect price and they give hefty portions. I would recommend to all vegans and non-vegans!

This Oakland based "food-social" start up truly does vegan eating Justice! We had the pleasure of visiting their newly opened brick and mortar cafe during their soft opening, with only sandwiches and some sides available. The food was so deliciously good that we are looking forward to the planned January 15 grand opening, when the menu will be expanded to include plated dinners, with neighborhood delivery as a dining option. Order at the counter, and watch your meal being prepped in the open kitchen concept. You decide your sandwich base, choosing type of bread - wrap, quesadilla, gluten free or a no-bread organic salad blend option, in which you choose the veggies from the salad bar on which to build your base. Next add your topping, from a seitan Philly cheese melts (steak classic, Italian, Bar-B-Q, spinach mushroom) to Gourmet Chicken (fried, jalapeño ranch, mozarella, sweet teriyaki). Extras/sides offered were hubster fries, cheese steak fries, hubster nachos, sesame kale salad, chips.
My spinach mushroom sandwich on the organic salad blend base was sublimely good; well seasoned sautéed seitan, spinach, mushrooms & mozarella topping fresh kale, greens, broccoli, cranberries & a sprinkling of nuts. A very generous portion side of cheesesteak fries was shared with others, who enjoyed their show string cut as much as I did. One of my companions praised his choice of the Bar-B-chew as a wrap as being delicious. Our other diner, who stubbled upon the cafe while in the neighborhood the week before, & recommended it to us for lunch, enjoyed his quesadilla based cheesesteak.
Service was friendly, knowledgeable & quick, despite everything being freshly prepped as ordered. It was the cashier's first day, & despite his nervousness as a trainee, he got most of our orders right, & remained positive, which contributed to the relaxed atmosphere. The VegHub's socially responsible business plan focuses on the educational ethics of serving good, healthy vegan food, while offering cooking classes to families & kids, an after-school program for the kids & jobs in the area, with future profits being shared on community projects. Ingredients are locally sourced as much as possible, much of it being made in-house. No parking lot, yet ample on street metered parking out front and nearby. Conviently located near Fruitvale exit off I-580. Small, neat, very clean cafe, well lit.
