Good food!

Good peanut butter noodles and the Italian tofu sandwich was good but I wish there was a potato side rather than only corn chip option. Agree with other reviewers that there is a kind of quiet awkward vibe

Pros: All vegan

Good food, odd atmosphere

The food here was good, and felt homey and comforting. However, the atmosphere was quiet and felt a little funny. Did not feel comfortable.

Really had high hopes

With all the great reviews, we were excited to give them a try. Atmosphere was ok, albeit minimal. The girl waiting on us didn’t seem excited to be there and paid us little attention. We ordered a couple plates to share but were not blown away by either. The black bean sandwich was the better of the two, with the black beans being the best part. The noodle salad was meh. We left there somewhat unsatisfied.

Pros: Many vegan options and a few vegetarian , Easy to get to location, No waiting

Cons: Unfriendly service, Average food, Mediocre atmosphere

Great food, friendly staff

My son and I drove 12 miles from Manchester to try the food at Willows. It was worth it. The split pea soup was excellent. Our favorite bowl was the Supa Fly.

Pros: Great tasting options in sufficient quantity , Food arrived promptly , Friendly waitress

Hearty, filling vegan dinner

Willow’s was exactly what I was looking for on a cold New Hampshire night. The space is warm and cozy while also spacious. I got the special which was lasagna with tofu ricotta. I also got a cup of the coconut curry veg soup which was delicious, subtly spicy, and slightly sweet with homemade croutons. The meal was excellent, the cookie was just ok.

Pros: Healthy and hearty , All veg , Nice environment

So worth the drive!

The place is so charming & magical.. So many things to chose from.. I opted for the lentil-walnut burger.. it looked really “simple” when it came out but it was so delicious! The soup of the day was chick pea & rice it was so flavorful & hit the spot on a rainy day as did the hot chai tea! And I couldn’t leave without taking the butternut lasagna they had as a special for lunch the next day.. it had their homemade ricotta & was so yummy & comforting!

Pros: Fully vegan, Great specials

Cons: Pricy , Not all menu items were available

Yummm great vegan restaurant

I went to Willows with a non vegetarian, we were going to go in and look at the menu and decide if there was something there she wanted to eat. It smelled so good we stayed without even looking at the menu and the food did not disappoint! We had the black bean burger and pad Thai like dish and the gluten free cookies...all were amazing! I will definitely be back!!!!

Great Burgers

The homemade veggie burgers here stand out! I've had both the North East (black bean) and South West (lentil-walnut w/ jalapeno). They are flavorful, substantial and well priced at $9. I'm not generally a big fan of walnut burgers but this one is delicious.

I've had a mixed experience with other items on the menu. I find many of them to be very salty. Despite being on the edge of too salty, I do enjoy the Supa’ Fly (house pad Thai with tofu and nice fresh veggie elements) WHEN they have PAD THAI NOODLES. The last three times I tried to order this they only had thread noodles which quickly become a salt-mush in the sauce = not good. I've learned to ask before ordering. I was also really disappointed by the seitan shepherd's pie special, as I love both seitan and shepherd's pie and was so excited to find a vegetarian version. Potatoes covered a soupy gravy of rather strange flavor with sparse small bits of sietan floating around. I'm not sure what I would call it but it wouldn't be shepherd's pie.

All that being said, I appreciate the real ingredients, paper to-go containers, and general compassionate ethos. I do order selectively but come back for the items I enjoy!

Pros: Homemade veggie burgers - YUM, Quality ingredients, Care for planet and living beings

Cons: Many items too salty, Some dishes are on the pricy side for what you get

Great vegan food

Willows is my go-to place for delicious vegan food in New Hampshire. The facility is always clean and the owner and staff are the best. Sandwiches, salads, bowls, all delicious are the order of the day. BYOB so come prepared.

Pros: Great chef., Relaxed and clean., Compassionate and accepting vibe.

I love everything here

I love that everything here is Vegan and in the summer you can get icecream bars (cashew). Especially love the quesadillas. Very nice building, nice staff and wonderful to be able to feast in everything.

Delicious and fair pricing

Stopped at this place on the way home from Vermont. Really chill vibes, really nice staff, and a super chill house dog that hung at our table. We had the Southwest and the High Vibes, both delicious and well sized for the price. Took a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie to go. Definitely worth a stop off if you are in the area. Support these local vegans.

Pros: Delicious , All made from scratch , Nice house dog

Great food and pleasant people

Very low key place. Dog sitting in the corner etc. The wait staff was very nice, and the chef brought out the food. I had the "high vibes" wrap. It was very good and flavorful. I like the place and will visit again. P.S. I was in and out in about 40 min.

Quirky, Fun Eatery!

Willow's is a quirky organic vegan eatery nestled away off of Main St in Concord.

Greeted by the owner and her (giant, friendly) dog, you instantly higher your vibration to match. The large, sprawling dining space is sparsley seated, with much more open space than tables. Purple paint and local ads clad the wall with energetic healing, vegan bakeries and meditation classes.

The food options are plentiful. And although we stuck to wraps, the quality and freshness stood out. The High Vibes was fit for a meat eater with seared seitan, onions, peppers, garlic and other yum. The Om Ashanti is a fresh take of vegetables with a lip smacking tahini. Both were sesiating and delicious.

If I had to offer some feedback for improvement, it would be around the smoothies. Both we got were just a bit "plain" and underwhelming. The berries can be a bit neutral if not kicked up by another element and any smoothie with banana is banana overload. Better balance would be my recommendation.

All in all Willow's is a refreshing option in the area and we will be back!

Pros: Quirky, Fun

Cons: Banana fest smoothies

wonderful!

Went for a late Sunday lunch and it was very quiet. Service was fast and staff is very friendly. I had the Half Moon sandwich and it was superb, I also had the mamcita smoothie and it was just perfect. My husband (who is neither vegan nor vegetarian) had the North East sandwich and we both agree it was very tasty. Will definitely be returning again, I want to try the whole menu! Currently residing in Manchester and it is so worth the drive.

Pros: vegan, excellent service

yum!

Very sweet restaurant, including an awesome dog who likes to hang out. I had steamed greens, a BLTA and a cupcake. Everything was delicious!! Menu lacks a little, but well worth the time and price.

delicious and great vibes

I had a True Heart wrap. Loved it! Clean "egg salad" type sandwich. This was such a great sandwich. The flavors were great with a little crunch from the lettuce. Our server Morgaine was friendly and helpful. Relaxed vibe in their clean, lovely dining room. So happy I found this gem.

Pros: friendly clean atmosphere, delicious food, great staff

Only vegan restaraunt in the area

I want to love this place, but there are better options ar non-veg places in town. I ordered a black bean burger, which was really good. My husband got a seitan wrap which tasted yummy, but was dripping in oil. I ordered a chai to go and waited at least five minutes for it and there was only one other couple there.

Pros: vegan

Cons: Pricey, They were slow so it was awkward hearing the waitr, small sides

LOVE!

SO excited to find this little cafe!

We were quickly greeted, seated, and introduced to the place. I am Vegan, and brought along a very fussy Vegetarian, as well as my omnivore who often refuses my cooking if it is vegan. They were both able to make choices well before I was, as I wanted to try EVERYTHING! We started out with a couple of very tasty smoothies- the girls had Berry Bellas, and I tried the Mamacita. VERY YUM!

By this time we were greeted by the resident canine, much to our delite. The omni ordered the Ms. Luna, Perfectly prepared tofu, and a very tasty sauce (although slightly messy, lol). My fussy girl absolutely loved the black bean burger of the North East, and my taste test agreed. I ordered the Next Level, as I don't have an opportunity to cook seitan at home. Delicious sandwich, nicely marinated, with crunchy veggies, and my favorite mayo (commercial, I make my own at home).

ORGANIC! VEGAN! DELICIOUS! Need I say more? =D

Pros: tasty, friendly staff, including the canine resident, lovely decore

Cons: hope they are more crowded at other times we went , at mid-meal time

delightful and welcoming Café with delicious food

my friend and I happened to be in the area so we stopped in. I was not as pleased with my meal as she was (my black bean burger was too spicy), but the chocolate cream pie with cookie dough crust was amazing and we both agreed that if we were ever in the area again, we would stop in at Willows.

Pros: variety of vegan options, it's a big space if you wanted to bring a group, fresh juices, smoothies, and desserts in addition

Cons: not close enough to my house
