SarahJune 19, 2015Drunken Cowgirl, hands down. Plus they have just about every non-dairy milk option you would want for your morning latte.
Amy CheongSeptember 8, 2013Service and food were amazing! I got the breakfast tofu scramble and my parents got the pancakes and philly cheese. Will come back!
Elie BleierDecember 29, 2014Reuben, almost macro bowl are solid options. Must try an egg cream or a milk shake (with added whip cream)!
Louise OrganNovember 29, 2016Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Not to mention the super tasty veggie food.
Delicious vegan and vegetarian diner fare. The wait can get insane on the weekends but it's worth it.- Boris JonesApril 8, 2015With retro decor and a chilled, casual vibe, this is a popular spot among the locals – expect a short wait, though it is worth it. Read more
Henry W. NgDecember 1, 2013Biscuits n gravy w/ a side of kale. Drizzle hot sauce on kale. Eat. Feel awesome.
Benjamin HornMay 16, 2012Great service, classic counter dining and DELICIOUS vegan food. Try the vegan chili and grab a vegan pastry on your way out. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Anthony SmithMay 31, 2013Get the Cubano. Do it. Do it now! Sorry if that came off pushy, I'm just looking out for you stranger. But for real, get the Cubano.
Pablo DouzoglouMay 26, 2013The menu offers a lot of variety, but ultimately lacks creativity. There are so many vegetables and legumes they could be using to create delicious dishes while staying away from the fake Chick'n etc
Sabrina NelsonNovember 14, 2015Try sitting at the bar to enjoy folks behind bar Aaron is a pure energetic joy
AbbySeptember 3, 2018Pricey. Breakfast better than other meals. Usually a wait but put your name down and head to a bar nearby.
meaghan theriotisoverAugust 17, 2010Everything is vegan. The pear and Ginger scone is delicious: perfect balance of ginger and pear, not too strongly spiced, and the texture is perfectly crumbly without being dry. Thumbs up.
Clare ReidyFebruary 16, 2019The caulifire wings are so tasty and don’t skip on the Kickin Cowgirl and Cinnamon Swirl pancakes 💜
Margaret WolkAugust 7, 2015Vegan pancakes got me like :-))))) gluten free items and replacements- there's good vibe from the customers and staff
inna katsJuly 9, 2019The Mexican style bowl is dry, the meatball one is great with a side of roasted kale (mmm garlic).
That GirlDecember 18, 2016Best vegan brunch spot. Take your non-vegan friends too. They will not be disappointed.- MegMay 9, 2018The chick’n burger is beautiful as are the tots and literally everything else on the menu!
Great vegan diner! I love making a trip out to Brooklyn to enjoy their yummy foods!
Leanne AlyssaJuly 29, 2019Go for the breakfast burrito! The tofu scramble is perfectly seasoned. Skip the buffalo wings- L. T.August 4, 2015Everything looks delicious here! I had the burrito breakfast. But our server was rude. Friendly to other tables - maybe they were regulars?!
Get the SAG breakfast sandwich. You will not be disappointed.
Adil IbrahimAugust 23, 2015Got the chicken and waffles...probably should have ordered something more nutritious. The waffles were crispy, and the soy chicken was good. It was regular diner level stuff, nothing mind blowing.
Sam SmolenskiMarch 1, 2016Champs is the one place I really miss after moving out of nyc. Classic diner food vegan style.
John DavidApril 2, 2012The coffee is delicious and bottomless, food has never disappointed me and the service is incredibly friendly. Skip the Second Stop and walk a block further to Champs, it'll be worth it.
Always awesome, always incredible! Their Reuben is out of this world! #vegan #what 🌿🌿🌿🌱🌱🌱
The Rueben Sandwich is amazing as is the breakfast enchiladas. Plus they always seem to be playing great music!
Liese BiesJuly 19, 2015It's ALL vegan! Very friendly staff and willing to meet up to your dietary wishes.- inna katsDecember 6, 2017I'm in love. If I never eat meat, dairy or eggs ever again, I'll be fine-- as long as the food is from this place.
Love this place. Might want to come flr late brunch since there's always a wait. Eveyone here is so nice and cute!
Chris GampatMarch 16, 2018Even if you’re not a vegan you can find something very enjoyable here. I sure as heck do!
JackalopeJuly 1, 2013if you get the biscuits & gravy i highly suggest you sub sauteed greens for the standard salad for only +1, goes perfectly!
These are the best vegan pancakes I've ever had. And I try them everywhere they're available. Hell of an establishment, this one.
Joe SicariApril 2, 2014Hell a good vegan diner food and one of the best cups of coffee you can still get your hands on.
Alexis BrillSeptember 8, 2012Croque Madame for brunch is delish! Their deserts are also mind-blowing. Only downside: Cash only.
Kind enough to make me an iced mocha. A little lighter on the sweetness but I love it indeed.
star dionneOctober 9, 2019I loved the super good and light whip cream that comes on top of the fruit- ArjunSeptember 3, 2022Underwhelming vegan breakfast/diner food. Pancakes were okay but tofu scramble just tasted of pepper and hash browns were very oily. Very friendly staff though!
Get the Drunken Cowgirl! Super satisfying and delicious! Tofu Scramble, Bell peppers, Chorrizo sausage, chili, and garlic bread!- That GirlJanuary 28, 2019If you’re here for brunch, be prepared to wait. Get a donut at Dunwell on the next block to pass the time.
Great little spot. Great vibe...great service...great food. Loved the Cubano! Mmmmmm.- Always awesome, always incredible! Their Reuben is out of this world! #vegan #what
Jastine KhoFebruary 23, 20181 hr+ wait on the weekends. NoWait app is used here. Milkshakes are incredible.
Marissa MessnerJune 14, 2015Everything is delicious. Try the French toast slam and the tofu Benedict!
Afi Yellow-DukeAugust 1, 2015The food was really good (and I'm not even vegan!) and priced reasonably. The decor was funny, too, if you like the ironic crafty thing. But, we had an incredibly rude waitress. Unsure if I'd return.
The Club Racer is awesome ! I always get the Burger though.... Cheapest and by far the ABSOLUTE BEST veggie burger in NY!!! Vegan cheese too!!

"The Yummiest! SO MANY different flavors too. Almost as good as Ronald's in Vegas but with way more variety. The PB&J doughnut is highly recommended."

"Very good draft beer. Fun bar for a couple or a first date. The brunch is Brooklyn's best kept secret. Amazing Pat LaFreida burger. Good coffee and coldbrew. Best part is four plus tables in the sun."
Travis Statham - 8.6
"Love this place! I always make sure to go by or a visit when in NYC. Tons of craft beers on tap and all your fav 80s arcade machines at 80s prices!! (25 cents a play!)"
