A Box Delight

For Starters, the Brother I AM, is a unique being. Enjoyed the conversation. The food was very good. I had Gumbo, Butter nut squash fries, vegan burger, and berry smoothie. I had a sample of the Mac n cheese in which I wish I ordered a side. Everything was very tasty. When I'm in town I will definitely stop again.

Great, buffet style restaurant

Great find! It was like getting a home cooked meal with friends. There were several entree and side options to choose from. Everything we had was delicious; oyster mushroom curry, salisbury steak, dirty rice, macaroni & cheese, and squash. Great atmosphere. Visited with the owner/chef and other patrons. #Veganuary

Always 5 Star

The food never disappoints. I haven’t been to Mobile since he opened the cafe, but I have tried everything on the food truck menu prior to that. It’s always delicious! I usually eat the food so fast I forget to take a picture, but I have a few where I didn’t forget.

Delicious

09DEC2023: I had lunch with my Mom at the new Vegan Time Cafe location. It was nice being able to eat in the cafe instead of getting takeout from the food truck. Mom had the nachos, which she loved. That’s definitely her favorite here.

I had items from the hot bar. Honestly, I don’t recall the names of any of the dishes. I just asked Chef Eddie to load me up with his favorites. Everything I tasted was amazing. I also tried the blueberry sea moss smoothie. That may have been my favorite smoothie ever.

Their drink selection is very limited. My mom hopes they sell sodas next time we dine here. I’m fine with the smoothies.


26JAN2023: We drove across town last week to try this place after reading reviews here. The nachos, butternut squash fries, and burger were all very tasty. Will most certainly eat at Vegan Time again.

Odd but good experience

Got to talk to the owner for a long time about their life and food philosophies. Super cool person--named chef I am I am. Gave me some life advice I needed.
On the food side--got the boneless wings (I think?) Which were fire, got the oyster mushroom 6 inch, which was extreme fire, and the butternut fries, which I detested. Sorry chef. They were extremely weird, like covered in a thick gloop (kinda like aloe Vera gel from the store)that didn't really taste like much. And there was SO MUCH gloop!! Tbh, though, I wouldn't have ordered the fries without a recommendation, as I'm not the BIGGEST butternut fan, so that could be part of the reason I didn't like them, but really it was the texture that did me in.
Anyway. I will order the wings and sandwich (or maybe try one of the rice platters) every time I'm in the area. Felt like there was health benefits but still tasty (none of that unseasoned quinoa crap that is so often served at vegan spots).

Pros: The people working will explain menu items, Good diversity to menu for a food truck, Super well seasoned

Cons: The gloop :/

Delicious Food, Delightful Chef

My husband, our toddler and I were visiting Mobile and had to check out this all vegan food truck. We got the oyster mushroom sub, BBQ chickpeas, and crab cake sandwich. It was all freshly prepared by Chef Eddie who kept up a friendly conversation while cooking. It was all SO good. Our toddler loved the chickpeas. I hope we can get it again before leaving town.

So Good

Staying on Dauphin Island which is pretty much a vegan desert, Vegan Time in Mobile was well worth the drive. I had the most delicious burger and my partner loved the loaded taco. It is obvious the chef is dedicated and very creative. I highly recommend Vegan Time.

It’s Vegan Time! You Need to Go Here!

This truck has AMAZING food! Everything from the service to the food is out of this world fantastic! I am so happy to find vegan food on the Alabama coast. Coming from somewhere with lots of vegan options I never imagined finding such a gem in the South. I’ve been driving from California across 7 different states trying vegan all over and this, by far, is my favourite spot.

We ordered the nachos, boneless wings with hot sauce, and Cajun butternut squash fries. Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious and flavourful. The best part is, it tasted indulgent and rich but made us feel amazing afterwards. Healthy, unprocessed and everything is made from scratch. The owner even came to check up on us to make sure everything was good; such a nice guy! We can’t wait to come back!

Pros: 100% Vegan, Unprocessed and scratch made, Friendly service

Cons: Park seating only

Amazing experience and wonderful food!

The owner is a special human being, just being around him for a short time lifted our spirts and fed our souls. Anytime we drive though Mobile, we will look Vegan Time up. Delicious nachos, patty melt & burger! Thank you!

Try it TODAY

I finally got to try Vegan Time after finding it on this site last week. The food was just as good as I imagined! I took the advice of a recent reviewer and tried the burger. It was VERY good. My side was BBQ chickpeas which were also crazy good. I also got a strawberry smoothie, and I'm so glad I did. I will definitely be back, and I will be recommending Vegan Time to everyone I can. Thanks, Chef Eddie!

Pros: Amazing food, Great smoothies, Great vibes thanks to Chef Eddie

Cons: Not closer to me, There aren't more of them, I can't realistically eat there every meal of the

Great friendly service for our lunch stop on our road trip. Definitely jealous of locals that can be regulars! Worth the stop for other travelers reading, check Facebook for current location!

Pros: BBQ sauce is great, good on the baked chickpeas, Loved the fried oyster sandwich , Benches and tables in park at current location

Vegan Time Food Truck is my FAVORITE place to grab lunch!

Mr. Eddie is the owner of Vegan Time, and when I first placed my order, he told me his story of how the vegan alkaline diet increased his health vitality and I was so inspired. The food here is 100% vegan and alkaline and I feel SO GOOD after eating lunch here. There is a customer loyalty card and I go once a week to get my stamp, and after 5 stamps, I get a delicious butternut squash pie but if I save up to 10 stamps, I get a free meal! My favorite dish here is the grilled veggie sausage wrap with a side of salsa. Normally, I'm not a fan of desserts, but the butternut squash pie (comes with a combo meal, along with a beverage) is a homerun.. creamy, delectable, and subtly sweet. I also love the pizza. It's the right portion, light but filling, and superbly energizing. Fast food and processed foods make me feel sluggish as I wrap up the work day, but a lunch from Vegan Time gives me energy and boosts my mood. And everything is made from scratch from fresh fruits and vegetables. Come see Mr. Eddie and chat him up or call for a pickup order during your lunch break. I am so happy I found this place, we need more of them in our great city of Mobile, AL. Plant-based cuisine is the future for our planet and our earth, and Vegan Time Food Truck is at the frontline. Wooo!!

Pros: Delicious fresh plant-based alkaline food, Loyalty cards offered, Friendly owner and staff
