Reviews of Brick City Vegan (Formerly known as Urban Vegan)
I ordered 1 chickpea burger to share with my dad because he tends to not like vegan options and he ended up finishing my burger! If we weren’t in such a rush I would’ve went back and ordered two more. The burger was hands down probably one of the tastiest vegan burgers I have ever tried. My dad and I both loved it. I was surprised he was still talking about it as I wrote this review. He mentioned it reminded him of this meaty dish he tried before but this was much better. I also loved both of the Mint and Hibiscus teas. The hibiscus tea is a must. The coleslaw was delicious, we both enjoyed sharing it. Will definitely get my own next time. I also recommend adding the chocolate macadamia cookies as they are very tasty and good for dessert! Everything was incredibly affordable as well, I loved the price!! Will definitely find myself coming by Newark more often.
P.S the staff made the experience better! Thank you Urban Vegan :)
Incredible vegan food!! My partner and I don't branch out much in terms of food bc most North Jersey vegan food we've tried hasn't been great. I'm so happy we decided to come here! The burger salad, cheeseburger, and pulled BBQ biscuit were amazing. Urban Vegan could hang in LA, that's how good it is 😉
Drove 40 minutes to try this vegan spot and it was worth it! Staff was very welcoming and accommodating! Our new favorite spot for sure. Black eye pea burger is a MUST try! We ordered several things off their menu, mains, sides, cookies, hibiscus tea, mango smoothie & everything taste super delicious! Above my expectations, looking forward to eating here with my family again!
Top Notch. Wonderful metl-in-your-mouth burgers. Perfect combination of crunchy and soft, sweet and salty. Hit every part of the pallet, served with sweet potato fries you cant go wrong with any option on this menu. A true delight and fantastic customer service. Definitely will be back!
Great vegan spot in Newark ! It's right on broad St. It was busy when we got there, but the food was phenomenal! I got a chicken sandwich and a black eye pea burger. It is a home made burger which makes it waaaay more delicious than a beyond or impossible. Will definitely be going back !
Run here! The cheesesteak was so juicy and flavorful. I’m not vegan/vegetarian so I temper my expectations when it comes to vegan restaurants- but the food here was absolutely delicious! I had the Philly cheesesteak and side salad, let’s just say I couldn’t believe it was vegan. I’ve found a new go-to burger spot. The salad was refreshing and came with a light vinaigrette. The staff were friendly and the dine in area was pristine. Highly recommend the food here, loved every morsel of it!
Love love love!!!! Sooo delicious, vegan, amazing customer service, nice ambiance..We tried sweet potato burger, sweet potato fries, pulled pork on biscuits and coleslaw. Definitely going back and trying all their menu items.
I was with my daughter watching a live Cirque Du Soleil performance in Newark. After it was over, we were both hungry and I was worried that we wouldn't be able to have healthy choices in the depressed area that we were at. Boy, was I wrong! Luckily, as I began my food search, I happened to drive right by a vegan takeout place called Urban Vegan (myurbanvegan.com). The menu had about three dozen vegan food options including vegan burgers sides, and sandwiches. I ordered the Chikpea Burger. It was so delicious that I woofed it down in no time (Where's my manners?). My daughter ordered the California Burger and she too loved her order. The sweet potato fries we ordered were fresh and tasty as well. The menu seems to be partly inspired by soul food. As it turns out, the owners are African-American. They also offer several types of natural smoothies. I wish my South Brooklyn neighborhood had a place such as this, but for now, I'll have to travel to get tasty vegan food.
Been vegan for a month now and I decided to explore my local vegan options. Urban vegan!!!!!! This place understands how to make a new vegan feel happy with the transition. I had the black eye pea burger and the sweet potato burger, both of them were spectacular. They both came with a fresh salad. I will definitely will be making this place my weekend go to.pictured (Black eye pea burger)
Loved the place. Everything they sell is vegan!! Loved food ambiance and experience!! I had Spicy Chikin sandwich!! Was smoky and amazing. Would love to come again. Pro tip: if you order from home order sauces on side for your burger.
Jose and Tatiana was so cute and very helpful and gave me one of the biggest chocolate chip macadamia cookies !!! I love the flavor so much. This is my third time here and I love everything I get. I love the chickpea burger and pulled bbq biscuit 🤩
Got the chicken biscuit. Pretty yummy! Needed a little extra sauce but I’m a sauce person. I also had the forever young smoothie. REALLY good! I’m pleased. Would come back.
Came here with high hopes and was not disappointed! So many choices, opted for California burger- came with a side salad with lots of dressing and delicious chopped veggies. Also got the hibiscus tea. Everything was excellent, including friendly staff and really nice dining area. I will be back for the chicken sandwich! ❤️
I ordered food for myself and nephew and we BOTH LOVED IT. Not only was the food excellence but the energy inside the location was nice and relaxing. I found me new favorite spot!! Special shout out to Tom for recommending the Hibiscus Tea.
I’ve visited this location frequently. I love the Power bowls. It’s the healthiest option on the menu.
My favorite aspect about this location is the customer service. I always receive a warm greeting when I enter! EJ has helped me numerous times and is always open to answering my questions/sharing recommendations.
Such a cute place and they are so nice! The chicken biscuit was great! As are the smoothies!
The only thing I'd recommend is adding protein powder for an additional option for the smoothies.
Delicious food. Feeling good after eating here. Tasty and healthy fare. Nice place to sit down too. Staff friendly and flavors and portions of the food excellent. I would make sure to try this place. This place has food that will please your mouth and your stomach!
Wow I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Thank you so much to my guy Tom! He was so helpful and made my first experience so very pleasant. His customer service was more than exceptional and I can tell he is very passionate about what he does. He made great recommendations and even told me his favorite drink which is the Mango Berry Lime. He walked me thru the menu and answered all of my questions. He allowed me to try the sauces and to choose all of my favorite ingredients for the power bowl. The food was absolutely delicious. The chicken sandwich did not disappoint and had all the qualities of a classic chicken sandwich without harming any animals in the process. The power bowl had black rice which is super healthy and not often offered at many vegan restaurants in the area. I love that everything tasted so clean but full of flavor like the black eyed peas. So savory and cooked perfectly. I will definitely be coming here regularly and highly recommend this restaurant for vegans and non vegans. No surprises or funky flavors you don’t recognize. Everything is made with familiar flavors and ingredients. My only complaint is that they don’t deliver to Montclair lol But now I have a great reason to visit Newark more often. Thank you everyone at Urban Vegan. This Vegan Chef was very satisfied ❤️
The food was really delicious; black-eyed pea burger & philly cheesesteak. The side salad, w a pop of fresh dill, was tasty and had one of the best vegan salad dressings I've ever eaten! Will definitely visit again.
I’m very happy that Newark has a vegan spot! It was my first time here and my experience was very good. Jada was very warm and welcoming while taking my order. Melanie prepared the food carefully and also in a timely manner. Their Hibiscus Tea (pictured below) is very good and fresh. I will be back and will also recommend this spot to family and friends!
First time eating here... Staff were friendly. Inside decor and seating areas are nice.
Food is just OK, very pricey for what you get. Nothing to write home about. Had the chicken biscuit ($11 not including fries) which was ok. My kiddo had the biscuit beyond burger($14 not included fries) and the biscuit fall completely apart. Drinks were good..we left still feeling hungry. Overall, it's ok if your looking for a snack, high pricing and little food. Staff were really friendly.
I don’t know how often I’ve rode past this place and never knew it was there. Not to long ago I had a conversation with a resident of Newark who said that their really isn’t any true or factual vegan restaurants in Newark, just some that offer vegan or vegetarian options. I was in Newark on business and a friend said let’s do lunch while I was there. She found Urban Vegan on google maps. The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in is the smell of green vegetables. A very clean healthy fragrance you’ll never get in a restaurant that cooks meat. Being a close observer I noticed in the rear of the place a food prep area that was very clean. Your meal and beverages are prepared behind the register and it was very clean also, and they were busy at the time. If you dine in they bring your food to your table. My friend who is known to throw back some chicken or a burger was totally surprised that vegan food was so delicious. She was outdone. I had the black eyed pea burger and all the trimmings were fresh, cool and crunchy. They offer a smoothie named Forever Young that I didn’t taste until we were back in the car. I would’ve purchase a liter of that delicious beverage if I had tasted it in the restaurant. It’s my official vegan joint when I’m in Newark. Even if I just grab a Forever young smoothie. Oh, I almost forgot, the bathroom was very clean, almost sterile. #vegan #googlemaps #newarknj #sankofatafari #kingofcoffeenyc #kingofmarijuananyc #nyc
Was warmly greeted by Danyele and she was super helpful as we made decisions on a sandwich and smoothies. I ended up getting the chicken biscuit & plantains and the food came out fast and everything was delicious.
Phenomenal. Our favorite is the pulled BBQ biscuit & black eyed pea veggie burger. The cole slaw was must try & Biscuits were bomb! Danyele, Orlando and Melissa were wonderful!
Delicious food and great service. Danyele was great to us and helped us choose, since it was our first visit. Great find. The Chicken Biscuit was great and the cookies are some of the best I ever had
Amazing experience, I originally went to Newark to handle some business and decided to grab some food. Glad I chose this place. My food was great! My only discrepancy is that the patty for my burger was fried however I knew that before I ordered but they made the burger sound so good and it was. They did have other options like a bowl in case you don’t want fried food. It was clear that they were a little short staffed at the time however the young lady in the front handled everything really well. And I do want to point out, although she was moving from register to preparing food, she changed her gloves each and every time. I appreciated that a lot! And also kept a great attitude, even through the work she made sure to remind me to leave a review. As an entrepreneur I enjoy great customer service and she did everything right.
Was politely asked to review my experience here by server Nadimah (EJ) and I am happy to say the food is absolutely fantastic here. I come here every time I drive anywhere near Newark — it’s incredible and everything on the menu is worth trying. That said the chicken biscuit is my current go-to. Get yourself some great food and support local businesses in a great city. Please excuse my photo, I couldn’t help but take a bite before snapping a pic ♥️
Food was AMAZING!! My sisters& I ordered power bowls( highly recommended) Everything was Amazing especially the customer service, Big Thank you to the employees Danyele, Jose & Orlando.
I hope to return soon 🥰
Highly recommend, best vegan spot in NJ!! My mom ordered a black bean burger and a chickpea burger, she loved the black bean but the chickpea was also good. I ordered a cheese burger, which I loved. All the burgers were well seasoned! The vegan cheese was the best I’ve ever had. The sauces were great and the buns were phenomenal. Fresh salads came with our burgers! We also ordered the green drink and the strawberry banana drink, both were amazing but personally the green drink was the best I’ve ever had.
I had an incredible “chicken” sandwich from Urban Vegan. Their chocolate chip cookies are also good. My pickup was ready just on time and the service was friendly. Thanks for a pleasant visit!
The food was soooo good ! I’m definitely coming back again! The smoothies are also so delicious!
Loved this place! Came here with my aunt and my cousin before entering a concert at the Prudential Center, and it is sooooo delicious! We had the Chicken Biscuit and my aunt had the I Luv Shroom Burger. We all loved the food, and mostly we loved the employees. They are super friendly and attentive! Thank you Urban Vegan
This place is sooooooo good. I’ve had the sweet potato burger, black eyed pea burger, pulled bbq, chicken biscuit, and cheesesteak. I’m convinced that nothing on this menu would disappoint.
They Have Power Bowls With All The BEST Freshly Maid Sides and Toppings. I Always Get Plantings $4.50 W A Power Bowl : Black Rice, Quinoa, Cilantro, Red Diced Onions, Avocado, Chick Peas and Greens $13
Totally amazing food-but the first thing that strikes you is how considerate and helpful they are.
We got two bowls, one of them with chickpea and black rice, and the other one with the barbecue oats, which doesn’t sound like it would be good, but it is totally delicious. How they create such a meaty texture from oats is beyond me, but the barbecue is delicious. I also got one of the biscuits and I swear that is the best biscuit I’ve ever had in my entire life.
Soft and moist and flavorful, we were only passing through New Jersey, but it is something I will crave for the rest of my life.
And one last thing, I was really touched because the guy behind the counter, who took my order, came out to give me my bag to go. I gave him a five dollar bill as a tip, and I noticed that he turned to the kitchen showed it to them and put it in the mutual tip jar. Seriously good vibes and good food here.
Wonderful staff nice ambience and clean. The food is amazing McDonald and all of the poisonous five food. do not have nothing on this place loving it. If you have kiddos, bring them there instead of traditional fast food. This is great for our community. Plus it is black own love it only down note is that there is no parking watch out for a ticket as the bus stop in front of the store it seems to be the only alternative.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾♥️♥️♥️
This restaurant is phenomenal. The food has so much flavor and the service provided was top of the line. I ordered two entrees and I am immensely impressed with both. They were even able to accommodate my gluten allergies. The staff also keeps this place clean!!!
Feyintola was a sweetheart and very hospitable. We were able to engage in some small talk and she shed some insight on the owner. Next time I am in Newark…I will be coming back. Grateful for this spot😋😋😋
Frequented this place over the summer while looking for a meat replacement restaurant. EVERYTHING I'VE ORDERED WAS DELICIOUS! I did not miss meat. Lol my favorite is the California burger with the sweet potato fries... mmm mmm good!!
First delivery order - absolutely won't be the last. Great to have it delivered when working from home. There's a lot going on but it all make one delicious burger. 2 and 👍🏾👍🏾
This place was so good! The food was delicious (I'm not vegan but Danielle thankfully recommended her fave the black-eyed pea burger and I loved it!). I don't give out 5 stars often but everything was spot-on: fun/clean vibe, welcoming staff, yummy food, fast service, even gonna give these folks sustainability kudos for not just handing out straws and reducing packaging waste. Def coming back!
First time trying Urban Vegan and vegan food ever and I have to say THIS PLACE GOT IT!! The manager Jose was amazing, so attentive and the experience was amazing. I had the California Burger w/ sweet potato fries and the for ever young shake. My lord I thought I wasn’t going to be full because “vegan” , THIS IS A LIE! I walked out so full. This place is 10 out of 10 with no reservation. Will be back for sure. ☺️
I was so happy to find out about a new vegan spot that is not too far away. I ordered online, the cheeseburger biscuit and the cheesesteak. It came to a little over $30. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and it was busy. I walked up and it is set up like a fast food spot. I was greeted and told the lady I was picking up. She got my food for me and I left. I got the cheesesteak for myself and the cheeseburger biscuit for my friend. I had a piece of my friend's sandwich and boy was it good. The cheesesteak was ok. It was filling but I probably won't order this particular sandwich again. I wish I got the biscuit sandwich. I will get that next time.
This place is sooooooo yummy!!!! Whew chile!!!!😋😋😋😋 I ate the food too fast to take a picture! The sweet potato burger and power bowl!!! Yesssssssss!!!! Go off then!!! I'll take pics of the food next time I go back …
The food is excellent! I ordered the sweet potato burger with sweet potato fries. If you’re not funny about a soft textured burger, then you can appreciate how savory this meal is. It was my first time ordering from here and I’ll be back! Tom was super sweet and helped me out.
This place is a God send! Danyele is super sweet, and always greets me when I come in. In fact the entire staff is very friendly. I guess you can say I have become a regular. The Power Bowl is a staple for me now! I love that they offer healthier meals that offer alternatives to the processed imitation meats. I normally order for pickup right through their web page, and I have ordered more times than I have fingers and toes. I will gladly continue to support Urban Vegan! Thank you for the great service!
Enjoyed lunch with my bro. Food was amazing! Had the cheese burger with sweet potato fries. Delicious! The cashier & server were sweethearts.
Would give them a 10 if I could. Ordered a chickpea burger with side salad and hibiscus tea. Flavors are bold and delicious, food is fresh. Staff is super polite and presents the menu well. I would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious, filling lunch.
Great place, Food is excellent even if you are not vegan. Our server Danyele D took care of us. I recommend the black eye pea burger or the cheesesteak you will thank me later. 🎉🎉💥💥
This was my first visit and I loved it! I had the pulled BBQ biscuit with sweet potato fries and pina colada (drank it on the way home). The food was delicious even after driving a few miles home to eat it. The establishment is clean, inviting and the staff is friendly. I'll definitely visit again to try other items on the menu. Update: I tried other items and they were just as delicious.
Let me start by saying I'm a meat eater. Someone who enjoys food. I chose the build your own power bowl, created the salad I was craving and the flavor was more than I expected . The $12 were totally worth it. The portion was perfect enough to be a meal, ingredients were fresh ( I chose fresh greens, chickpeas, tomatoes, avocado ) and the dressing -Testy herb vinaigrette was amazing. I tasted my friends sweet potato burger and that too was flavorful. I will be returning and taking my friends.
I had their Black Eyed Pea Burger, Coleslaw and a Hibiscus drink. Everything was absolutely tasty! The food was very fresh and I liked that it was decadent while still energizing. I didn't encounter any of the post meal tiredness or "Itus" that so often happens with heavily processed, overly carb loaded food.
The service was excellent and I like the 3 big booths that I think actually can lead to more interaction amongst the customers. Even if you've only had regular meat burgers and sandwiches I think you would be doing yourself a favor by trying this spot. It really is that good.
It's great to know this place is open Saturdays and Sundays too. I can't wait to go back!
Extremely accommodating staff, super friendly and the food is amazing im not even vegan and I love this place will be coming back on the regular basis 🔥🔥 …
Atmosphere was good and establishment was clean. Staff was very friendly but I found the wait time to be excessive. Additionally more than 3 items that I wanted to order was not available because of missing ingredients, that was disappointing but seems to be more common among several establishments in this day and age. The power bowl was good especially the pulled bbq oats. Looking forward to trying them again
Always an amazing experience at Urban Vegan! Introduced my friend to Vegan food for the first time today and she is now HOOKED. Thank you to the staff for great service! Jose is doing a wonderful job managing this location. Thank you very much!!! We will be back!
Amazing service , amazing food! Execution in an excellent timely paced manner! Shout out to Tom and crew for phenomenal customer service! Definitely recommend the Hibiscus tea! Whenever I’m back is without a doubt that I’ll be stopping by! Thank you urban vegan team!
As a vegan of 7 years I was suuuuper impressed with the food here! The burgers were so flavorful and well done, the plantains were delicious and didn’t even need a dipping sauce, and I will be dreaming about the Mint Tea for the rest of my life. This is a must-go-to for vegans everywhere!!
I really wanted to like the food. It was a spontaneous Sunday lunch meet with my friend trying new places.
The people working in the store are great with service. The atmosphere was inviting and nice for an afternoon chat and chew.
I have this thing about mushy and soggy. If either occur with food I have gag reflects. Sweet potato fries are nice texture and Stay crispy. Also really good with the yellow BBQ sauce. I also had the chickpea burger with coleslaw on the burger(that's how it come) with a mint tea.
My chickpea burger was very mushy. Basically the consistency of the patty. It would have been better for me with a crisper well done finish. The coleslaw had the potential of being tasty but it was overcome with too much liquid from the white sauce. This made the bun soggy and the burger extra mushy. I even tried taking the bun off and do one side. Only managed to eat a small portion of burger. I don't do sugar so my tastebuds are just wired differently. The mint tea was a very sweet tea which massed the healthy mint content.
Really wanted to like the food as I initially stated. So maybe Sunday was just an off day.
I would give 10 stars if I could, the food is amazing and I'm not even a vegan! My expectations were shattered. And the playlist was dope, we were dancing in our seats. Definitely get the sweet potato fries and the Mango Berry Lime drink! I'll be back soon
Great Place! Tons of great vegan options! Jose and Tom always take care of me! Phenomenal job Guy!
I really hope this place stays poppin because I work near hear and it's so amazing to have vegan food options! I got a sweet potato burger with salad and didn't even miss the meat. I felt so energized and ready to go back to work after my lunch. Definitely coming back here to try all the different types of burgers they have and explore their smoothies and juices!!!
I love the fact that there’s now a vegan friendly place in downtown Newark. The food is amazing soo you won’t be disappointed. Even if you’re not vegan you’ll enjoy anything you get off the menus. I also appreciate the fact that when you enter the store you’re always greeted by someone. That may be small to some but i really appreciate the customer service efforts. Huge shoutout to the GM Tatiana who helped me out when I forgot to add an ingredient to my sandwich!
It was a super good experience, awesome flavors and great time. Highly recommended.
First time in Urban Vegan, let me tell you, this place hasn’t let me down! Definitely a spot to enjoy delicious food & drinks with a partner. Or alone…Thanks Jose for the for making my first experience the best. I look forward to come again.🤙🏾💯💪🏾 …
I love this place (I am a repeat customer). Great staff, food, and service. It's great coming here before game's at Prudential center. We got the sweet potato fries and plantains with the black bean burger and pulled bbq pork biscuit. All super great.
I’ve been coming to this spot since I moved to Jersey and I love their food and service. Tom always services me above and beyond. Anna, Layla, and Mahogany are super nice and friendly! Definitely recommend this vegan spot 😎
The cheesteak and sweet potato fries were amazing. Really good regardless if you’re a meat lover or not. This place has become my regular lunch spot 🫶🏾 but it is pricey. …
I tried this Urban Vegan yesterday and it was so good. I ordered the black bean burger and a powerbowl with beyond burger black rice and avocado and their yum yum sauce and a mint tea with chocolate chip cookies. The food was good and the space was clean and cute. Prices were really reasonable for good portions packed with flavor. IMm not a vegan but I placed another order today bc it tasted fire. Will definitely be coming back
Terrific food. Very tasty vegan food, and the sauces are especially good. The staff are the greatest--very positive and accommodating to customers' dietary concerns. We definitely will return!
Amazing find for vegan food in Downtown Newark just a couple blocks away from Prudential Center. Had the Beyond Cheeseburger, but can't wait to try more dishes. A must for vegan and non-vegan Devils fans!
So my husband I wanted to grab a bite to eat so I looked up vegan places and Urban Vegan popped up and this place did not disappoint. The food was SOOOOO GOOD😋. I had the Pulled BBQ with sweet potato fries and then another one that I had to save for later with sweet plantains that I will be eating and munching on at home 😋, and my husband had the sweet potato burger with coleslaw and everything was soooo good. We also had the hibiscus tea which was also amazing we will be getting the other tea that they have the next time we come because we are definitely coming back. I believe the guy named Tom helped us out and he was so awesome and patient with us on deciding what to get because everything on the menu looked so good and the place looks so nice. Love the whole vibe the people that worked there down to the food. Oh and one more thing the cookies are soft, and soooo good 😋💖
I love this black owned vegan restaurant in Newark! The staff is very friendly, wonderful customer service. Business is very professional. Most importantly, food is amazing. I wish there more restaurants like this in the area.
Super fast and friendly service! Restaurant was clean and loved the decor. Food was spot on and felt very hearty and filling yet light and healthy. sauces were the bomb!
TALK ABOUT LOVE IN A BOWL!!!!!
Danyele was such a sweetheart.
The staff were lovely. We had lunch here and it's so cute and clean. I have never here of BBQ oats before but I will be coming back for more!
We order the black-eyed pea burger & the Philly Cheesesteak. Honestly, very happy I stopped in! I’ve been vegan a long time and this one of the best plant-based cheesesteaks I’ve tried. It’s made from pulled oats, and OMG impressed is all I have to say! DELICIOUS. The staff is very friendly and accommodating as well. I will definitely be back.
Ordered the chicken biscuit and it was amazing, I ate it before I remembered to take a picture😭✨ I can’t wait for the next time I get food from here. The inside is really pretty too and the bathroom is single stall and really clean
I am not a vegan or vegetarian we had lunch here to visit with friends. I had the Black-Eyed Pea burger as recommended by one of the employees. It was fantastic!! I would definitely eat here again.
One word: YUMMMMY. I bit into the chicken biscuit and almost lost consciousness. But a serious criticism is that they desperately need to overhaul the seating arrangement. Rip out those three massive booths and set up six little tables with chairs. Much better. But SO delectable.
Restaurant was clean with chill vibes music. Food was all vegan and tasted great. Many options, definitely want to come back to try the other dishes.
I love this place! I usually order the California burger but everything here is amazing! Danyele is the best !!!! service is never a disappointment. Once you try their food you’ll be a regular for sure!!
Delicious Food The cheesesteak was So freaking good I’m not even vegan and I love this place!
Super friendly staff, the place is clean, food is amazing. Vegan Sandwiches, Vegan burgers, and pick your own power bowls. The price is reasonable.
Absolutely delicious!! I had the philly cheesesteak, and it was phenomenal. The “cheese” was smooth and creamy, and the whole experience was lovely. The staff were very friendly too!
Urban Vegan has a great atmosphere and so many options that I couldn’t make up my mind! Thanks to Danyele for her patience while ordering. Can’t wait to come back!
I ordered the Black eyed pea Burger with sweet potato fries. It was absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and accommodating.
Stopped in after a Sunday at prudential center and we may have caught the crew off guard with the 8 top on a Sunday at 3 but they came thru with delicious and perfectly executed dishes for everyone: I got the cheese steak and coleslaw , and it was amazing
Danielle is the absolute best! We’re Louisianans so we’re accustomed Southern hospitality. She did not disappoint.
First time here and was very excited to see what the hype was about! A friend and I had lunch today she ordered the Philly and I ordered the chick’n sandwich and we both ordered the black eyed peas. Though the chick’n sandwich was delicious it was so darn small and overpriced to say the least. The black eyed peas weren’t good so I asked for the chickpeas which were absolutely delicious! I tasted my friends Philly that’s said to be made with oats and honestly we’re both vegan chefs and we find it hard to believe any oats were involved in the making of this sandwich lol! Though it was delicious it to fell flat in quantity as there was far more bread then filling. Overall, I’m glad to have experienced this place but not interested enough to go back especially since I’m still hungry after spending over $20.
The place is cute and clean, food is delicious and a bit cheaper than other vegan restaurants I’ve been to. I would definitely recommend trying out this place
This place is absolutely incredible super healthy a lot of great options absolutely love the BBQ hold oats very flavorful and would highly encourage you to check this place out. The service is great.
I got the cheeseburger and it was so good. I like that it came with a salad too. I absolutely loved the space, the hanging plants brought such a cozy vibe to the place :)
The chicken biscuit was delicious! And My Server Danyele D had awesome Customer service! I Highly Recommend this place!
I’ve eaten here several times, loved everything I’ve tried! So thankful for more 100% vegan places popping up in this area. Also, I've brought several non-vegan friends here and they enjoyed it a lot!
The food is sooooo good! it’s a hidden gem honestly and Jose & EJ were super friendly and amazing. They answered all my questions but the food. chef kisses, it was amazing. We had the bowl w the BBQ pulled oats & the chicken sandwich. I’ve been to a lot of vegan places and i’ve never been anywhere that offers this kind of variety. Loved it 🤌🏼🙌🏼
Ej made our experience wonderful, I am from Houston, Texas. Came to Newark/New Jersey and wanted some vegan food. I had the Sweet Potato burger and fries. AMAZING. Thank Ej and the Hibiscus tea made everything outstanding. I'm will be back.
Located in a lovely part of Newark, Urban Vegan is a wonderful gem hiding in plain sight. Staff member EJ was a pleasure from door open to door close, offering me several suggestions for my lunch meal.
I ended up ordering the chicken biscuit, and a Mango Berry Lime fruit shake. Layered with cheese, onion, tomato and lettuce, the chicken comes out crispy yet with great inner texture. The "buttamilk" biscuit it comes on, while not the most durable, is incredibly moist and satisfying.
The Mango Berry Lime fruit shake is reminiscent of an amalgam of ice cream truck favorites. Just the right amount of sweetness, while also being the perfect straw-sucking-consistancy.
I have been floored by when whole event here in what I am now calling "The Gem of Broad Street". I'm hearing they will be expanding East, and I intend to be dining at a new and closer location soon(but not soon enough).
First time, will not be my last. I really enjoyed my power bowl didn't think Vegan would taste so delicious
ITS AN EXPERIENCE!!!!!
Urban Vegan really just brings a comfort that’s not even explainable, firstly I got the chicken sandwich without onions, all though they still put onions, I didnt care and thought it was the Universe doing this to me, for some odd reason I enjoyed it with onions??? I dont even like onions!! So it was meant to be after my first visit!
Overall presentation was beautiful, my girlfriend got their bbq pulled oats sandwich and THAT WAS HANDS DOWN!!!! Never ate something like that in my life.
THEIR HIBISCUS TEA 😍 Just speechless about it.
Urban Vegan is THE spot, great staff, great cooks and amazing energy and atmosphere, I saw one of the staff members with a crystal resting on her 3rd eye, and idk that just really stood out the most,
Moments and things like this do not happen, but they did here. I ALSO LIKE TO ADD I DONT LIKE SWEET POTATOES BUT I LIKE THEIRS?!?!? I fully and wholeheartedly love Urban Vegan! Thank you.
I got the Pulled BBQ biscuit sandwich and plantains on the side. Everything was delicious! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, vegan or not!
This was my first time experiencing Urban Vegan and I must admit that they did not disappoint! I ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich with sweet potato fries. Perfect choice! I’ve never tasted anything like it! Not to mention the staff was extremely friendly and courteous. I will definitely be making another trip! Thank you guys so much for an overall tasteful and pleasant experience!
I went for a quick lunch and the whole staff was awesome. I'm not a fan of Vegan food but this one was top tier. I got help from the Manager named Jose to chose something yummy and it was indeed yummy. The restaurant is clean, the staff is helpful and the prices are awesome. I'll be coming back here each time I'm in Newark🤌
Really cool atmosphere and good food. Had the I Luv Shroom Burger and the Chicken Biscuit. With sweet potato fries and a mint tea. Really good, highly recommend.
Me, and a friend went today, and it was a very pleasant experience. The staff was very friendly, and the food was amazing. Will definitely be visiting this place again.
Great place! I had the best experience with their staff. Cashier EJ was very polite and engaging. I ordered the cheese burger and pina colada smoothie and it was very tasty. I definitely recommend this place.
My daughter convinced me to try vegan food and I immediately thought about this place. It's so easy to get there by bus, so I went in having no idea what to order. Jose was super kind and helpful and we decided to go with the cheesesteak and a biscuit with hibiscus tea. Do NOT miss the tea. It's the best I've had in yearsss. I would go back because of how good the food was, how clean it is (specially the bathroom), the prices and the super nice manager Jose.
This was a great find in Newark NJ. The place has a cozy vibe to it where you can choose to dine in or eat out. I ordered the Biscuit Burger with. Piña Colada fruit shake. I enjoyed the taste. I am not a fan of sweet potatoes fries or sweet plantains but thats just not my preference. Everything else was perfect for a quick lunch. I'll definitely be back.
Food was delicious and I’m not even Vegan. Just wanted to try it and I really liked the cheesesteak. Also great service from Jada. She is very friendly and courteous and helped me with my order. Will be back.
Hands down the best vegan chili cheesesteak I’ve ever had. I will be having one every time I step foot in this neighborhood!
The food was amazing and Ej was very nice and welcoming good vibes I love it let’s go !!🤎🥬🥦🫑
When you walk inside, the energy is fresh and warm and EJ greets you with enthusiasm!
I didn’t know the menu since it was my first visit and she explained the fan favorites and I went with the Philly cheese steak and sweet plantains with hibiscus tea. Service 10/10 Food 10/10
Music 10/10
I am delighted. There food was delicious. I ordered the black eye pea burger and it was beyond my imagination. Very tasty with all the additives! I will order the chick pea burger next round.
Get the hibiscus & lemonade mixed, Half & Half is they call it! Perfect thirst quencher after that biscuit…which was good af as well! Definitely don’t mind the drive when (the taste) the food is made with love. Thank me later @imlawbtw✌🏾😏 …
The food was delicious and the ambiance was comfortable. Excellent, customer service! The store manager, Gladson hospitality is appreciated and hopefully the community will enjoy the food and service as much as I did.
Today was my first time trying Urban Vegan & I have to say I am soooo happy I finally tried it! I definitely will be coming back. One of the employees, Tom, was such a help when it came to me debating on a California burger or just a cheese burger. His customer service was GREAT..made the experience more better. Thank you Tom!
The food here was amazing! I ordered the California Burger, which I totally recommend. I had to give this establishment 4 stars instead of 5 because they messed up my order. I requested salad instead of fries….. they gave me fries and charged me extra for the salad I never received.
Quick service and great staff suggestions for first timers even in a busy Friday. Sweet potato burger 👌🏾 …
The food was excellent. I enjoyed the “Chicken” Biscuit, sweet potato fries and a “Forever Young” smoothie. Absolutely delicious...and a nice, clean line environment.
Great vegan spot in the heart of Newark. I love the burgers as well as the mint tea. Service is always fast and friendly.
If you're a foodie looking for healthy comfort food this is the place. Fast, friendly, fresh. Had the California burgers n fries. Checked to make i wasn't being punk, taste like meat and the smoothies are amazing
Recently was told about this restaurant by 2 people. Staff hospitable and clean space. The pulled BBQ biscuit is so flavorful! Accompanied with sweet potato fries and mint tea.
Best Vegan spot i’ve had in upper Jersey!
OMG the staff is friendly the food is fast low cost and takes the headache away from being healthy and overpaying.
I hope they franchise more store because I would eat here at least twice a month.
✅Fifi at the front is great ✅
Love love love this place, food is always good and the cashier Dominique was the absolute sweetest. 10/10 every time I visit.
Not bad! It's a great addition to this area in Newark. I had the vegan chicken sandwich, which probably falls somewhere between Morningstar Farms and Gardein in quality/texture/taste. The buttamilk biscuits are amazing, and the sweet potato fries are just on the better side of average. The staff is friendly and attentive. Mohagany, Danielle, and Rolando all worked efficiently to get my order ready for me even though I showed up a few minutes early, and they were all smiles while they did it. This place is a solid vegan option in Newark.
Visited here while we were in town! We had the vegan chicken biscuits 😋 they were really good , the kale salad is amazing as well as the plantains. In addition the customer service was great! …
Tom, Layla, and Alondro were so lovely! I loved seeing a local business that employed people from the community and focused on locally sourced ingredients. Definitely coming back next time I’m near prudential!
This my second time visiting! Today I had the California with sweet potato fries. I called my order in around 7:57 and they close at 8. They allowed me to place my order without even saying their closing time. I arrived about 8:10 and my order was almost ready. Washed my hands in the bathroom only down side was a little soap was coming out the dispensary at a time. Which made me a little irked since I just left work and wanted to scrub my hands for 2 minutes. Besides that everything is up to par. Establishment clean and the manager Jose has good customer service skills. Fresh veggies on my burger super plus. I'll be back soon! Thanks! I can see this being a chain in the near future. I'm excited for this business! I would show the food but I was hungry didn't have time to take a picture MAYBE NEXT TIME!
Awesome! Non-vegan and came here for the first time with a vegan friend who loves this place - had a quinoa bowl and it was fantastic - fresh and flavorful. I've been back twice in the two weeks since! Restaurant itself is clean and staff is super friendly. Go!
It's actually Really really good healthy dishes. I would love more of variety than the selection that they have. But I even enjoyed the staff. I'll be back for the yum yum sauce for sure.
super cute local business, very clean and aesthetic inside. the food came out quickly and overall was a great experience. tom, layla, and alandro helped us out and were very nice through the entire process
I’ve been here multiple times and each time it gets better! I love the atmosphere and the people who work here, they are all so kind. The food is phenomenal and I recommend coming 100%!!
I would like to personally thank Jose, for his amazing customer service. My 1st visit I lost my wallet and he helped me retrieve my wallet… The vegan food is delicious…. Love the place
I must say the food is delicious. I order earlier today. I was pleasantly surprised by the customer service. Tom you made my day, stay bless 👍🏾
I have to say,while I was visiting from california,I was looking something quick but healthy and good.oh,,it was good..I got the vegan California style cheese
burger and it was delicious.i would go there again when I visit newark ,nj...the ladies that help me were very nice and they let me try the vegan oatmeal cookies..DELICIOUS..the mint tea,on point.go get some of that vegan goodness
My experience is always delightful. The staff is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Layla was extremely pleasant!! The food is Delicious & Always Fresh!!
Fantastic food. Staff is great. Big thanks to Danyele D for her positive attitudeand knowing my strawberry banana smoothie order by heart.
This place is simple delicious, staff is friendly and the food is always good, too bad they only have one location, but it’s definitely worth the drive!
I had an excellent vegan bowl. The staff could not have been friendlier and more accommodating. Great experience!
Love this place. The food is fresh. Danyele was very helpful, friendly and recommended the hibiscus tea. Delicious as always. I recommend the hibiscus tea. 5 stars.
Absolutely the best fast vegan food on the east coast. We’ve have eaten at vegan restaurants around the US and this is in the top 5. Fresh, inventive and people are so friendly.
The power bowls with bbq pulled oats, sweet potato burger and sweet potato fries are tasty.. the prices are acceptable too..the hibiscus tea and mint tea are delicious.
Food is A1. Fresh and tastes well. I will definitely come back. It's just a little pricey otherwise great and filling.
That black eye pea burger was amazing, I will be returning.
My daughter and I visited for the first time on 10/11. OMGGG THE FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL!!! I HAD THE POWER BOWL AND MY DAUGHTER HAD THE BEYOND BURGER!! OMG WE WILL DEFINITELY PATRONIZE AGAIN!!!
This place was so good that I planned on ordering 3 meals since the last time I've been here. Don't sleep on it, it's the best vegan food you'll ever have.
had the spicy chicken sandwich, chocolate chip cookies, and the buttamilk biscuit and it was all delicious! and great customer service too, thank you danyele!!
The chicken sandwich is straight fire. The spicy sauce is super yummy and the customer service makes the experience. Go try and go vegan ❤️🌱
Service was amazing. Danyele did a amazing job with her customer service.
If I could put 10 stars I would,
Danyele was so accommodating and sweet while she took our orders and made this experience pleasant!
First time, great staff and manger. The food was great plus the mango berry lime shake 😋
Great food, Great service. Laila was really friendly and staff was welcoming. Love that it’s black owned!
Best vegan Philly cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. This place is great
Excellent service! EJs expertise helped me select a delicious choice. The manager Jada was very welcoming and helpful. I truly enjoy this place. I want to try everything on the menu.
Just went back I love this place and Tatyana had great customer service along with the other workers. Food was ready quickly and efficiently! I’m grateful!
Visiting from Charlotte, was looking for something good and healthy. My sister and I spotted Urban Vegan and decided to try it out. We were not disappointed!!!!
Customer service is superb and food is amazing!!! We both had the black-eyed pea burger and sweet potato fries..delicious!!
Going back to try the power bowl and chick pea burger or sweet potato burger on next visit.
Such amazing food and service! Always fresh and delicious! I love recommending this place to other plant-based food lovers!
All I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW!! I came here the other day and was so impressed by the service, the venue, and the food. A young man assisted me with my order and he was so kind and patient with me since it was my first time there. I went with a burger and also asked them to make a chicken sandwich for me which is not one the menu but they were willing to accommodate! Also got some sweet potato fries too. The food may seem pricey but I’m so happy to support! Please remember that they are located in a prime location and likely have high rental cost. Also remember that they are preparing high quality food that cost more for them to prepare. When you consider all this, the price point is just about right. This place is such a gem and a win for the city of Newark. Had this place been here when I was studying at Rutgers Law, they would’ve had all my coins lol. Please try them out, I’m sure you’ll enjoy :)
The food was AMAZING!!! The staff was super friendly. Everything my husband and I tried tasted delicious: the chicken biscuit, BBQ pulled oats biscuit, sweet potato fries, plantains, and coleslaw. The BBQ pulled oats biscuit was to die for, what a great combination of flavors! We swung through Newark on a road trip and ordered online for pick-up. The food was ready when we got there and was perfect. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I had all the different burgers they offer and they are all stellar! Texture wise, they aren't quite like a regular burger (besides the two with beyond patty), but it doesn't matter. They are some of the best tasting burgers I ever had. The side salad is also always on point and everyone working there is beyond friendly.
No doubt the best burger I’ve had. I love that it also comes with a side salad, which is amazing as well. We had California burger and black eyed pea one, both are crazy good. Will try others next time. Super friendly stuff! Shoot out to Tom and Jose.
The food was delicious. The sweet potato fries and the biscuit were really good
This place is amazing!! Their food is so fresh and delicious! You can legit watch them make everything right in front of you. The food is 10/10. The staff is 10/10 and the decor on the inside is 10/10.
We had the cheesesteak (delicious! I’ll be coming back for this!) the chickpea burger!! (So flavorful and fresh) and a power bowl! Which the serving was very generous and again delicious!! This place is also VERY CLEAN! Look no further for some delectable vegan food in Newark!!!
Can’t wait to come back!
I have ordered the black-eye pea burger a few times. The food is the best vegan food I have tasted besides the food I cook at home. Very flavorful. The salad you get with the burger is real salad...spring greens, kale. The yum yum sauce is awesome. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Very Very satisfied.
Great food and service! We love the vegan pulled oats sandwich, vegan chicken sandwich and smoothies. Thank you Jose, Ada and Tom!
3.5 ⭐ Visited this establishment twice. Being from Philly, I'm spoiled with vegan options. Not many options in Newark, so been here twice. Maybe three times. One time my order wasn't prepared as ordered. The food is good, but not great. Overpriced in my opinion. Every time I have ordered, my food was never prepared on time (according to the Uber Eats app). They have a lot of potential.
Me and my boyfriend came here for a quick grab to eat and the food was absolutely delicious! Everything was perfect. Tom is so nice made sure we were satisfied with everything. This will be my new go to spot whenever I come to Jersey
Very Delicious!! I enjoyed the atmosphere, customer service, and the food. I will highly recommend this place. And it’s black owned! Very good!!
Stopped by here just before the Newark museum of art. Great menu of vegan items. We both had the cali burger and it was really fresh and delicious. Mint tea was refreshing too. Highly recommend this place - clean, super nice staff. We’ll be back!
One of the best burgers we had lately 😍
Loved it
It’s healthy and delicious !!! Recommended
Daniele was friendly and professional. I love her disposition and will be back the food is great and the attitude of the staff is amazing.
The manager...Jose is a very cool guy ..the service is very helpful building ur meal..
The drinks are awesome and all employees are nice
Delicious food. Friendly staff. Clean establishment. I look forward to returning. I've tried the BBQ pulled oats biscuit sandwich + one of their salads. Wowzers. Sooo good.
Food was great workers & customer service ice was also phenomenal ! Definitely recommend ! Good eats
The kinfolk keep it healthy here with some classic soul food and other dishes... but vegan. I did the California burger with sweet potato fries. Careful with parking as the meter wasn't working for us.
The staff was very friendly, you are greeted as soon as you walk through the door. The food, OMG!!! My husband and I ordered a black eyed pea burger, a chickpea burger, fries, coleslaw, and a salad. Everything tasted like it was made with love and care. Our favorite was the black eyed pea burger. The drinks were also on point!!! We live in CT, we will be back!!! Sorry there are no photos. We tore through the meal, before we knew it! I strongly recommend!
The food was really good. My only complaint is I should of ordered and picked up my food. It took 35 mins to get my food and my lunch was over. I wish it would of been quicker once my order was placed as a walk in.
One of the best vegan spots we have! I got a bunch of entrees and it was all so delicious. This is the kind of place you come back over and over so you can try the whole menu. Staff is super friendly and helpful as well. If you're in the neighborhood it's a no brainer.
I usually cannot eat an entire "cheesesteak". But I ate that entire "cheesesteak". All vegan of course. Which was honestly better than any cheesesteak I remember before going meatfree. The fries were also phenomenal. I wouldn't get the plantains again but that's just me, a bit too greasy. The service was phenomenal. I was there yesterday around noon. Would go everyday if I could. 💓 I wish I lived closer!!!
Jose and Tom work here, they are so sweet! Omg, best service I’ve ever had in Newark, and I was born here. I came in with a friend 5 mins before closing and they were so polite, explained the menu, made suggestions — and the food is spectacular. The BBQ sauce is CRACK, okay?
My experience at Urban Vegan is always 5 stars! The staff here at Urban Vegan are extremely polite & professional. However, I want to give a special shout to Fe-Fe, she always always displays outstanding customer service!!!
My 3rd time at this location and always great customer service and delicious food! Highly recommend!!!
Love this place! Great food! Great vibes and great service!
Danyele was so polite and helpful! 👌🏾 …
Our first time here and it was better than I could have expected. Honestly some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had especially for fast casual. Both of their chicken sandwiches were incredible. For a second I really thought it was actually chicken. I was impressed with their biscuits which was shockingly good considering it wasn’t soaked in butter. Fresh cut fries are always a plus. The house-made black eyed pea burger was solid. By far better than a synthetic veggie experiment like impossible “meat” or other patties. The experience was only made better by the cheerful charm of EJ who was delightful as well as the very humble owner. We will be definitely returning to this spot. This is a home run for Newark.
Excellent find! I had the cheeseburger and sweet potato fries and they were delicious.
I’ve been meaning to go but I never had the time. Finally I did today and got the sweet potato burger. Holy cow it’s good. Brioche bun, the sweet potato burger itself is amazing, and I opted for sweet potato fries instead of a salad and they were so awesome. I actually called them and had to tell them. You’re missing out if you don’t go.
The food was delicious and a great transition for people seeking to transition to a more plant based diet. Unlike the assumptions many make about vegan foods. It was very tasty and filling. It definitely hits the spot as an alternative to traditional comfort foods.I tried the power bowl with BBQ pulled oats and it was so tasty. The sweet potato burger was also excellent, flavorful and juicy. The food really inspires me to experiment with different flavors and textures, 2022 might be the year my family transitions to a plant based diet.
Really good chicken biscuit sandwich! Only 3 tables, Limited seating and busy at lunch be prepared to take out.
I’m grateful for Urban Vegan. It was becoming hard to find a vegan place I liked. The menu has endless options. My go to order is the chickpea bowl with black rice, a side of sweet plantains, and the hibiscus tea. My favorite vegan place in North Jersey. Well worth the stop if your in the Newark area.
Eating at Urban Vegan is absolutely AMAZING!
I had the chickpea burger ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ which came with a fresh side salad. All of the ingredients tasted so fresh! The meal was delicious, clean and comforting. I felt light after eating it. I was fully satisfied but not tired or stuffed.
I enjoyed sitting down in an open, clean, beautiful atmosphere with plants hanging. The view of the City Hall across the street and light coming in was super nice. Definitely will be coming back to try the whole menu! So grateful, thank you! 🌞
This place was so nice. Tom, mahogany, Jose and Rolando treated me well. I’m definitely coming back
My second time here and the experience has only improved. My Wife and I recently converted to being vegan and finding this place was heaven sent!!! The service is amazingly welcoming and efficient. The taste of the food is nothing but gourmet level cuisine I had the california burger and it was excellent. I'm proud this place exists especially now that I've converted. The service provided by Jada was above and beyond I might swing by just to say Hi!
The cashier (a young lady) was very pleasant and professional. I placed my order online and it was ready as soon as I got there 15-20 minutes later. The sweet potato fries are some of the best I've ever had!
I really like and appreciate the staff, Tom,mahogany,Layla,rolondo at urban vegan. The hospitality was and service was 5 star…!!!
This is one of my favorite go to place whenever I'm hungry I grab the chickpea burger on biscuit with spicy sauce and barbecue. You must try to think about it I'm having one right now. They keep everything fresh in the food always put me in a good mood when I need something to hold me down. Like love and stop by to try your favorite organic natural vegan food. Plus they have fruit juices salads.. Trust me you will be back!! Love peace in urban vegan eats
I went there and the employees were so nice. We were helped by EJ and another girl (sorry I can’t remember your name. You were so nice!). The food was delicious. I got the California burger, sweet potato fries, and the sorrel drink. All of it was so good and definitely filled me up. I had it for lunch and dinner! 10/10 and would definitely go back. Just thinking about the burger is making my mouth water.
Very excited to have a spot like this in Newark. The food was great and everyone was super friendly and helpful (s/o to Danyele behind the counter!)
This place blew my mind. The spicy “chicken” sandwich is so good I thought I was eating chicken. Beyond amazing. Definitely coming back and bringing friends and family. They need to bottle the spicy sauce and the teas are great !
Outstanding! I ate my food so fast and didn't leave any crumbs -- it was that tasty. EJ was so sweet, and prepped my order really quickly. The staff was warm and welcoming, and everything was delicious. I can't wait to come back again and try all the great stuff on the menu.
I’ve never had vegan food before so it was pretty much my first time. And when I TELL YOU the California burger was delicious and so fresh and the side salad was amazing. The hibiscus tea was really good and refreshing. EJ was amazing, patient and explained all the popular options which made it easier to choose. Would definitely recommend if your in the Newark area.
Jose and Danyele were so nice and super sweet. So polite and generous. Made me feel so welcomed.
One of the best vegan burgers I have ever had, it’s a new experience and will definitely be coming back.
Layla is awsome she definitely helped me big time with my order. Thank you. Support!
I’ve had a lot of vegan burgers and I can easily say this was the best one! I highly recommend this place!

On above date and time, I came here fir the first time. The young lady preparing the food deserves an A+! I watched as she changed gloves whenever doind a different tast. The cashier was VERY polite and helpful. I asked about the ingredients and she took time to answer with being frustrated. This has happened to me in the past but not here. The atmosphere is welcoming so are the staff. I am currently waiting for the food so that will be the update. As of now 7 stars!
I am not a fan of vegan food, however because I live around the corner from the establishment I was curious. Ordered a California burger which is plant based alond with a Power bowl with a Remoulade sauce. My Power bowl consisted of black rice, fresh onions, tomatoes, avocado, cucumbers, and this plant based meat. Excellent, excellent, and excellent! My food was super fresh, and my mind and stomach are very satisfied. The service received was adequate, and I did not walk out.
Yesterday was my first time going to urban vegan, I needed a quick meal before getting back to studying. The place is absolutely adorable, and the staff was very kind. I ordered the California burger and it was absolutely delicious, As well as the sweet potato fries. I’ll go so far as to say that burger tasted better than impossible meat, and I love impossible meat. Their hibiscus drink was also delicious. I will definitely be back, and shout out to their clean bathroom which I took a mirror selfie in .
First of all you have to come in try Urban Vegan in Newark! Let’s start with EJ she is such a light and the whole staff is amazing and sweet.
The food is top notch and vegan! The country biscuits are so savory and delicious and I love the mint mixed with hibiscus tea. The vibe is it. Come through explore a great meal that’s good for you! Love it here!
Visited there this past weekend, food was amazing. Furthermore, I think they should put a emphasis on customers who came in store to order rather than orders online. I was waiting for 45 min for my food while online orders was made and just sitting waiting to be picked up. However, will definitely visit again!!
Be sure to call order/order online prior to visiting to eliminate the wait.
I had a wonderful experience from the moment I walked in the door! The entire staff was pleasant and welcoming. I ordered a bowl of greens topped with a beyond burger, pickled red onions, cucumbers, avocado, tomato, chickpeas, and yum yum sauce. I’m not vegan but it was AMAZING! EJ was the best, she even sang happy birthday to me (she has a wonderful voice). I will definitely be returning whenever I’m in the area.
Partner and I stopped here while waiting to pick up family from Newark airport. Great vegan food in a nice spot in the city. Plenty of street parking all around meters only take quarters, dimes, nickeles. 25c = 10 min. Great food and great service!
I placed an order for pulled BBQ biscuit, cheese steak, sweet potato fries, hibiscus tea, and a For ever young. The food was good the service not so much. When I placed my order the cashier, whom I also think is a supervisor, took my order. She explained that it will take 10-15 for my order to be complete. When I returned my fries were ice cold. I asked for fresh fries and her response was, “ they were fresh but you left and came back.” I literally left for 10 minutes! I love supporting black businesses but it’s the customer service that will make me never come back.
All I can say is WOW. I ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich is it was soooo good. Placed my order online, and it was ready by the time I got there! Still nice & hot— so you know the estimated wait time was spot on. Greeted by a gentleman who had a gorgeous big smile. Definitely a place I’ll be returning to in the near future.
Love it nice people great food great music / Danyele D , Tatiana and Rolando are amazing!
Food was so good i wanted to keep eating it ! Juice amazing ! W eat here again . Staff very friendly !
Awesome food and service. Jose was very gracious and his customer service is top-notch. We will definitely be back. Prices are stellar. 5-star all the way!
the manager jose is the best employee I ever know in Newark his work ethic was incredible, Anna help me with everything and the cook Ronaldo OMG 5 star food thanks guys!!!
I must say I received great service from Tatiana and Riniah at urban vegan. They were friendly and fulfilled every request with a smile. If you’re looking for a healthy meal served with friendly smile stop by.
I juat left this very clean restaurant.
I am a chef. The coleslaw was fresh.and well made
It was Not overly sweet.
The blackeye pea bowl with black rice was delicious and enough for 2. Next time will ask for the sauce on the side.
The blackeye peas burger perfect
Hibiscus drink just right.
I am 40 minutes away i will make the drive again.
Tom Rolando Layla mahogany were so nice to me I'm definitely coming back.... Tom my guy guy ❤️
Amazing service by Jada and her co worker. They were super attentive and very engaging and made sure that as first time customers that we were well attended to and super responsive with offering insight on the options they offered for the different meals!!! They made me feel amazing when I visited and the beyond cheeseburger I had was SOOOO GOOD! Also, they cooked the plaintains to perfection!
My first time trying pulled oats and one of the best vegan sandwiches I've had.
My power bowl was delicious the dressing made it even better !! Great atmosphere and wonderful Customer service!!
I just had the best vegan burger I've had in years at Urban Vegan, a relatively new spot in Newark. I ordered the cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and they were both delicious. Finished with a mango berry smoothie. Place was clean, staff was friendly. 5 stars.
Had a wonderful meal! I came here with a group of friends and we all throughly enjoyed our meals. We each had the chicken biscuit sandwich and mint tea. The sandwich is very good, but the mint tea is to die for. It's incredibly refreshing and not too sweet! Great for a summer day!
Jada and the rest of the staff was very accommodating.
The food was excellent but only matched by the service from Tom, Layla, Rolando, mahogany
Fast, accurate food. I was greeted instantly. The workers there were kind and helpful. Thank you.
I love this place! The hibiscus tea is so delicious and so is the Philly cheesesteak 🤤. ALL VEGAN! …
This place is amazing! Great food and the staff is always so friendly and helpful. It looks super
clean and beautiful decor. My favorite is the California burger. Very delicious!!! Haben had amazing customer service and made my day with her awesome personality. I’ll be back here often!
First time here .. staff is very friendly… restaurant is clean…. I’m excited to try meal and my shake…..yummmmm
Recently moved to Newark, and this place was a wonderfully delicious vegan surprise! I really enjoyed their signature Philly cheese steak and mint tea (so refreshing!!) and the staff was also very friendly! A wonderful way to be greeted into the city. Can't wait to visit again and try something new!
The food was absolutely amazing and the staff is very friendly! This is a great spot for non-vegans who want to try great tasting plant based food and for vegans who would love a break from their own home cooking. I LOVED it!
Tom, mohagony, Layla and Anna were so good to me I’m definitely coming back !!
Danyele D did excellent job and very friendly. The food was delicious.
The restaurant has amazing food. I went to this restaurant not knowing what to order, so I asked the manager what to order. The manager Mr. Jose recommended the California burger and it was amazing. The restaurant also had excellent customer service.
The food is great customer service great. I recommend visiting and dine in the atmosphere is welcoming
Food was so bomb. Amazing. 😋 and the sweet potatoes fries are addictive. …
I ALWAYS VISIT THIS RESTAURANT WHEN IM THE AREA. SO I DECIDED TO COME HERE ON A SUNDAY AND THE STAFF LAYLA MAHONGY & TOM WERE GREAT & HELPFUL..
I Loved Danyele Service, she was so sweet 🥹 it was actually my first time here and loved it
Amazing service….. Ms. Danyele D is the world greatest
Dined in, and got food to go! The biscuit burger was so yummy, and the food came quickly! The staff, all courteous and friendly! The establishment was clean, hand sanitizer dispensers right at the door as you come in and on some of the walls by the staff door in the back? The Manager was very nice as well! Worked well with her team and also interacted with customers nicely. Will definitely go back!
I visited the Urban Vegan a week ago on a Saturday while visiting the area for shopping.
What a vegan gem we've discovered. There are only three booths for dining in so we had to wait just a little for a table, but were able to get our order in while we waited. I ordered the chicken sandwich, my daughter had a rice bowl and my husband had the California Burger.
Everything was served with a smile within 20 mins.
The food was delicuous. We were all very happy with our food and will definitely be back soon.
Tom and Orlando and Layla were great with Good service. Food is amazing
Jose has great communication skills and he was so helpful with my order and my smoothie tasted amazing
As a vegan they
Give fab options and the food is amazing. It’s made with plant love !!
When I first visited Urban Vegan, I was not vegan. I was also having problems with my blood pressure, and my doctor was suggesting medication. A friend of mine took me to Urban Vegan and the decision to go was a life changer. The food is spectacular. The people that work there are professional and very kind. And the atmosphere is so peaceful. When I left there I decided to try the vegan diet. That was about a month ago. Since then my blood pressure is under control, and I have lost over ten pounds. This is a great place to go!! No doubt about it!!
Good food and good vibes! You definitely have to try it if you’re in the area!
Great Customer service from EJ great food the Mango berry line tastes very good. I love the music giving me much Island Vibes. Based on my first visit I would definitely come back to this restaurant.
I just started my vegan journey but I was about to break. I was on my way to the soul food spot next door to get me some fish. As soon as I walked in the lines were wrapped around the store… I walked out and said this was a sign for me to keep going. I looked to my right and there this gem was. Still skeptical because Vegan food is pricey and always a hit or miss, I walked next door anyways, I got the regular cheeseburger and I was not upset at all. I will most definitely be back!🙌🏾
Really enjoyed my first time ordering and picking up from Urban Vegan, can't wait to do it again!
Very clean restaurant, following all covid protocols, pick up was pretty easy just walked in and gave them my name. Parking can be tricky in the area as it's mostly street parking, but found a spot quickly.
Ordered the cheeseburger, cheese steak, and chicken biscuit sandwiches along with sweet potato fries, and would rank the sandwiches in the same order. All delicious, but I've had my share of beyond burgers and the way they put it together was incredible. The cheese steak was also really good, a little saucey so it can get messy, but that's what you want! The chicken part of the last sandwich was really good - between two biscuits makes the overall sandwich taste a bit dry, but separately the biscuit and chicken were really good.
Can't wait to go back, thanks for the enjoyable vegan food!
The food is amazing and the workers are really nice. Tom was soo helpful! He suggested the Mango Berry Lime shake and it was delicious. Definitely coming back!
I've been eating in Vegan restaurants for over 25 years. Urban Vegan is awesome. Good food. Fair Prices. Courteous counter service. Nice interior. For Vegan fare, UV is a unique addition that will be a regular stop when I'm in Newark.
Oh My God... I had the best vegan/veggie burger in my life from this place. It was incredible. And I've tried many many vegan/veggie burgers. This is the BEST.
For reference, I ordered the 'I Luv Mushroom' burger. It was super tasty.
The only knock I can give this place is the price. It isn't cheap.
I eat and enjoy meat but the burgers at Urban Vegan are not just a substitute for meat, they are better. I ordered the cheeseburger. It was satisfying,healthy and delicious. A guilt-free indulgence. The staff was gracious and the place was very clean. A five-star experience.
Shout out to the Queen EJ she was thorough with the menu her innergy was so pleasant. Everything we ordered was delicious. The staff was great. We dined in and the atmosphere was nice very clean. Will definitely come again!
2nd visit at Urban Vegan. Do yourself a favor and stop in for their delicious vegan burgers. The service is unmatched. The staff Jose, Ada, Dany and Rolando are great, always efficient, happy and polite . The food is absolutely DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend!
I have been trying to get here for a while now. I'm so glad to have made it. They are professional people, with great service and great food.
Friendly staff and a great atmosphere! The sauces and food are delish!
Went to visit this place on a drive by with my wife and to say I was pleased was an understatement. The food was delicious we had the California burger & cheeseburger along with hibiscus tea & sweet potato fries. The service was great & the owner followed us outside to inquire about our experience which was a plus. I will be back
Food is delicious. It's hard to find good vegetarian food, forget vegan and this place is completely vegan. But it is definitely on the pricier side. I would still recommend, maybe not for a daily go to place but a treat every now and then.
OMG!!!! The food was AMAZING!!! Although our 1st time there (Feb 11th around 7pm) the system went down and no longer accepted credit cards. A customer before us was nice enough to pay for our order with cash and we cashapp'Ed him the money. Our order (for two people) came out to about $47... reasonable price and did I mention how good the food was!
Kudos to the Super friendly staff that displayed professionalism in the midst of a system failure. It got so crazy customers were walking out, there were delayed orders and orders that were placed by customers that weren't received on the restaurant side... throughout all the madness the frontline all handled with care!
I can't say that about the manager who came in an hour after the system had been down(heavy set black man). He came in with a nasty disposition and spoke in a very unprofessional tone to the employees who worked so diligently while under lots of pressure! He could definitely use some leadership courses. You won't retain great employees with a manager like that. Based on the restaurants promise of priding themselves on treating everyone with dignity and respect, holding that manager accountable would be the first thing I address as the business owner.
Other than the manager talking down and at his employees, I would highly recommend trying this vegan restaurant!!!!
Great healthy and comfort food vegan spot. A solid variety and everything is well prepared and tastes great. Two of the employees EJ and Jada were a great help as well as this was my first time visiting the restaurant and best believe I'll be back very soon!
Worth a visit if you happen to in the Newark area. Went there with the wife during lunch. She had the chicken biscuit sandwich with a side if sweet potato fries and the hibiscus tea to wash it down. I ordered the biscuit burger with a side of sweet potato fried and the banana strawberry shake. All of it was super tasty. We will be going back for sure.
Urban Vegan is a small but bright and clean dining space and environment. From the "welcome" greeting upon entry, to the friendly staff, to very tasty and we'll prepared menu items, my dining experience was quite delightful. Thank You Urban Vegan for your long overdue and much needed presence as a healthier, plant-based dining option in the community!
Danyele providing amazing customer service and made my order exactly the way I like!
O..Me...Goodness( Yes I said it & read it as such please😉) The food is awesome, amazing, flavorful & nice presentation(sandwich still in place looks just like the menu) the customer service is spectacular so nice & patience I was pleased & happy with my food I live in Harlem and travel to Newark for this food hopefully you can expand into Harlem because I'll be the1st in line I even have my family n friends eating from here as well keep up the phenomenal work I appreciate you bringing healthiness to our neighborhoods Thank You👍🏽😊
This place is sooo good and the food is fresh! And the employees are SO kind! I will be back
🥰 what can I say about this place besides phenomenal. Im proud my city is doing big things with Urban Vegan. I love how they’re Educating the people on the proper way to eat and providing comfortable space to dine in and enjoy. Thank you for thinking of the people with this one 🙏🏾 …
Love the food here- great variety and options. Staff is great! Tom and Rolando hooked us up today 🙌🏾 …
JUST TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY!! I can’t stop ordering from this hidden gem. The chicken biscuit and hibiscus tea are my FAVORITE! So tasty and satisfying, like… This place is addictive. I really hope this place stick around for years to come and I cannot wait until they start to span their menu… maybe breakfast sandwiches, cauliflower Buffalo/barbecue wingless wings?!😉 but for now I take whatever they have to offer because it’s freaking delicious. AMEN TO URBAN VEGAN!
Stopped by today to try the food. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I wasn’t sure what to try and they suggested the pulled BBQ oats,I added that to my bowl and it was delicious.I will definitely be returning.
As a beginner to veganism. This establishment’s food is bomb they were very welcoming and the music 🎶 is pure vybzzzzz

I am far from vegan. However, i enjoyed the California burger, and will definitely order again when in the area. The hibiscus tea was very refreshing . ENCORE!
Extremely welcoming staff with tasty vegan options, beverages and smoothies. Delicious drinks, not only ECO friendly but people friendly too. The environment was clean and cozy. But, again the staff were well versed in the menu and outstanding as it relates to customer service!
It was a pleasure to eat here Tom was of great help he made our food with love. First time here and Im def coming back.

Thanks Danyele for the great service. Everyone always has great service here especially Jose just know i appreciate you guys!
Customer service was phenomenal, the food was good. No miscommunications- they took their time to understanding me. My food was mad in a timely manner. I like this place, it was my first time here.
Side Note: plan ahead there’s only seating for 3 different parties.
Bomb tasty vegan food with super friendly service.
The philly cheesesteak is phenomenal and the bbq biscuit was delicious!
The side of plantains (sweet maduros) were great and so were the sweet potato fries!
Oh-- and boths of the teas (mint and hibiscus) were SO good! Hibiscus was better so go for that one if you can't decide.
Overall, great vegan food and awesome service.
Shout out to the entire crew who were super personable and sweet. Extra kudos to EJ for her inviting and warm energy.
We will definitely be back!
One of the best vegan cheesesteaks I’ve ever had!
Great and amazing food. Jose was very helpful. 10/10 recommend.
Never had vegan food before, tonight was it freaking delicious and easy to digest. Tom is friendly and polite. 5 stars
The food here is quick, inexpensive, and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Healthy too! You won’t believe it’s vegan! I had an outstanding “chicken” biscuit & now I’m hooked! Recommended to anyone in the Newark area! Very friendly staff too!
First things first Layla Jose and Mahogany where such a big help the service is amazing here for someone who isn’t vegan I’m sold
I don't eat Vegan food but this place has totally change my mind about vegan food this food is amazing I recommend you to try it and you will not be disappointed! Ej's Service is great as well! Definitely coming back for more on the menu!
One of the very best experiences I’ve had at any establishment .. food was amazing. Really fresh & flavorful ! Not to mention great. customer service ! I felt very welcome and everyone was really nice .. one of the managers there especially caught my attention . NiJada Jones is her name .. she really made sure I needed for nothing .. very patient , very professional.
This place is amazing!! Whenever I'm in Newark I just have to stop here at the Urban Vegan. The food is amazing, the customer service is great and the environment is so calm, warm and inviting. Definitely going back soon.
EJ IS THE BEST! So patient, and helpful. The food is actually worth it and the prices are fair for the quality of food that you’re getting. Good good made with love (Chickpea bowl with plantain is amazing).
A. This place is super cute giving off a very earthy warm loving vibe
B. The service is awesome, EJ served me today when I went and she was so lovely
C. And the food oh Lord amazing
Overall, urban vegan is a must try, must buy, must love!!! I’ve been here a couple times already and definitely plan on coming back for more
Oh my gosh I had the spicy chicken sandwich with hibiscus tea. I am not a Vegan but that food was delicious 😋 HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend going there! …
What a fabulous little place to enjoy a delicious vegan lunch! Great vibes!
First time here. Food was fantastic. I got the beyond cheese burger and hibiscus tea. Tom was a great server. Would strongly recommend.
A good place to check out for vegan burgers 😊 they’re really good …
Loved! The veggie burgers come w/ amazing side salad with house dressing. Not too far of a walk from prudential and food is pretty quick so great option before a game or show.
This is my favorite place to eat. It blows my mind that it's Vegan! The people are incredible too. I literally try not to go here everyday but I CANNOT help myself. It is just that good! I am so thankful for Urban Vegan.
My Daughter and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ❤️ Urban Vegan Newark. I love that Urban Vegan has brought a much healthier and fun restaurant to the community.
Food tastes AMAZING!! Great flavor prepared with Love.
OUTSTANDING SERVICE provided by Haben Jada.
I always love to check out vegan restaurants for work. I’m not actually fully vegan, but tend to eat that way. Had the Philly cheesesteak, which was made with pulled oats. Usually, I’m a seitan kinda person, so this was something new to try. And it was delicious! Even a frequent meat eater would be satisfied. The cheesesteak had a satisfying amount of filling.
I also got to try the power bowl, which is more along the lines of something a bit “healthier”. There was a plentiful amount of each ingredient.
I appreciate that this restaurant has some traditionally healthy options and some more “fun” options, and that all of them are satisfying.
Can’t wait to come back for more!
service was great! staff was friendly and knowledgeable. they took the time to explain the menu. restaurant is very clean and modern. Bathroom is well kept. prices are very reasonable. definitely will frequent this restaurant. A++
Simply one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I was so impressed by the Philly cheesesteak and chic’n biscuit sandwich. Highly recommend stopping by there when the opportunity presents itself.
The food was so amazing but what really took it above and beyond was the service! From the welcome as soon as I walked in left me speechless, I felt so welcome. They made sure I was beyond satisfied. Definitely recommend this place.
I went to this vegan spot today and Jose took great care of me! please check them out!
I love this vegan restaurant best vegan place in Newark ! Hand down.. the chicken biscuit it’s so bomb with the ranch omg and the drinks are super delicious ! I can’t wait to try the whole menu. The atmosphere it’s also so great to dine in
Amazing food! Amazing Service! They are always on point when I come here. Great place!
Food is Great! Customer service is good as well.. nice clean place
DELICIOUS! I am on a mission to try everything on the menu ..I started with the cheeseburger and the butter and jam biscuit.
Good food but really it was the great customer service for me. Huge shoutout to Danielle, Rolando, and Mahogany! Thank y’all
Really good food, had a plain cheese burger and a pulled pork biscuit and both were delicious - I do wish there was a little more pulled pork on the sandwich, but I also order two sandwiches, so clearly I'm always looking for more food lol. The staff was super sweet and my sandwiches were ready super fast.
Worth the 40 min drive the Philly cheese had that flavor and hits 🤤
Daniele- was great and super helpful. Her customer service is right on point!! Great place!
Tom, Leila, and Rolando were amazingly helpful and the food was SO good
Amazing atmosphere and vibe inside. The staff are so nice and welcoming. The chicken biscuit is my favorite! Made me come back the next day and following! :D try them out!
Came here with some friends after a show at QXTs (the location from there couldn't be more convenient!!). The food was SO good!! Burgers, fries, plantains! And the staff were really friendly and attentive!! Definitely going back!
My favorite place to eat in the whole city
The food is great the service, the service is great and the vibez are unmatched
Jose was awesome and very helpful, the food is great! Definitely recommend
Food is a lil pricey but overall fresh
This is my first time and baby absolutely amazing. The establishment is spot. Super cute.. I had the chickpea bowl. Sweet plantains, and mint tea. DELICIOUS. Definitely coming back.
Love this place! Daniele was very helpful and pleasant to talk too.
Thank you
Urban Vegan is where it's at! I truly love the food and service. Everyone is so pleasant. Thank you Jose for recommending the pulled BBQ Biscut!
Absolutely #1 Newark Nj food spot everything plant base. Food for your body. Great customer service fruit shakes and signature drinks awesome come on in and try it out.
Tom and Jose were amazing. I found out that I have a Nigerian brother. I love coming here.
Jose was amazing and the sweet potato fries were the bomb . Com! And the chicken biscuit is to die for! A trip to urban vegan is always worth it!

Please visit this establishment, you WON'T be disappointed.
KIM B.
Been here a dozen times! I love that they have natural protein options not only imitation meats. Will continue to visit!
My sister and I treated me to a birthday lunch on Sat Aug 21, the food was awesome and so was the the staff. I have vegan for really long time, Urban Vegan menu was on point. I definitely will be back.
This place is perfect! It is so perfect that my girlfriend and I went back twice in one day. They are very friendly, very accessible and outrageously delicious! I found my new favorite place! :)
Clean environment , friendly staff members Tatiana,danyele,Tom, Asmar the food is delicious I will be returning.
One of the best vegan places in Newark hands down!!
Amazing place! Great food! Don’t hesitate to try it! You won’t regret it!
Wow! The food was amazing as always and EJ was such a friendly and professional staff member. She even gave us a private magic show while we eat. Ok maybe that was in my head cuz the food was so good but I enjoyed my self regardless
Great experience I love the food and the atmosphere is great Tom Jose Rolando are amazing great customer service and hospitality .
I love this place! Tom is super friendly every time we come here. The food always taste really fresh as well. 🙌🏾 …
Glad I was turned on to this spot. They have the best cheese steak made from pulled oats. I never heard of pulled oats but UV prepares it so well that it tastes just like steak. The Mint Tea is so refreshing. The sweat potato fries are cooked to perfection and the coleslaw is soo good and not spicy like a lot of places make it. Coleslaw should not be spicy but good and refreshing. The only thing about it is they could use less mayo because cabbage makes its own water and it tends to get too soupy when it sits...but its still good. I've bern back 5 times since I found out about it, traveling 45 mins just to get good vegan food. My trucker husband orders and has it delivered to him by Uber Eats while he's waiting to be unloaded at Hello Fresh that's how good it is.
Mannnnn this place is AMAZING!!!!! Tom fixed my Philly Steak and it was better than any I've ever had. I will definitely be back and I'd recommend this place to ANYONE! Thanks Urban Vegan!
Best Vegan spot I’ve been to thus far! Customer service was phenomenal. Jada made sure everything was going well. I will definitely be returning to enjoy another meal!
Very good service. Friendly and efficient. Food was delicious!
This was my first time visiting this place and it was amazing. The staff was friendly and the food was prepared well. The cheeseburger and sweet potato fries were absolutely phenomenal. I’m already thinking about when I should go back
Excellent customer service.
I saw the Ad. for Urban Vegan online and drove over 35 mins to try them out.
It is so refreshing to find a vegan restaurant that is also black owned. The food was delicious and the staff were professional and friendly. Mellissa was awesome. I'll be going back very soon!
This is by far the best and I mean the best vegan burger spot I've ever tried. Their California Burger with sweet potato fried are the best!
Great food.
The vegan cuisine was superb - healthy portions and attractively prepared. Will make the trip just for the dining experience.
I've visited this location 3 times since opening it's very clean with pleasant customer service Provided by Jada. Weather you are Vegan or not I'd recommend a visit and will be returning. Thank you for thinking of the people. Power to plant life.
Food was marvelous, and Tom was our experience even more delightful! Will be back!
Beautiful place and tasty food
Thank you jose for everything you the best
Food is amazing. They have healthy and quick on the go options...burger a yes for me and the black rice with the black eyed peas..... Welcomed addition to the downtown vibe.
I ordered tmthru doordash. Got the pulled oat sandwich I believe and the jelly biscuit. I was really good. My non vegan friend liked it as well.
I would like to go back. But the price and portions were unsatisfactory for me
Their food was delicious and the staff was so friendly. Shout out to Tom for the amazing service! Highly recommend:)
The carrot cake was so moist and amazing without raisins just the way I like! Fabulous panini, I will be back! I wish I could buy seitan the way they prepare it, so hearty!
EJ and JOSE were so helpful! My first time here they gave me great recommendations. Nice clean vegan spot 🥰 will be back soon! …
Got the Pulled BBG biscuit sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries and a side of ranch. Everything was fantastic, best vegan ranch I've ever had!
Layla & Tom was very nice to me I had a great experience
Great restaurant! Food looks and taste amazing
The food was so delicious I scarfed it down in like 10 seconds. Everyone was so welcoming and nice to me. I got the cheeseburger and the sweet potato fries that were the crispiest fries ever!
Great Food!! I travel all the way from the Bronx to eat from here, the chicken biscuits is free, and the cheese steak is the best!!! I highly recommend this great establishment! Blessings!

Great selection of vegan burgers, sandwiches, and drinks. Jada was a great cashier. It’s really nice to have a good vegan restaurant in downtown Newark.
This is a place I would recommend if someone is local to Newark or passing through. The service is pleasant and professional, the food is tasty, and the hanging plants are not a bad touch. It was the right place to go. :-)
Yesterday I came to eat again and I see they have a NEW MENU 😍 they have new burgers and new bowls🔥 I try the chickpea burguer and the chicken sandwich with the spicy sauce OMG!!! This vegan spot is the best in NJ Thanks mellisa for that wonderful help to decide my food again …
They’re good is really good as they have a couple options for plant-based eaters and simply vegans. Jada’s customer service was also amazing!! !!!! Nice concise and cozy intimate dining area as well. #ThisIsNewark
Really glad Urban Vegan came to Newark. It’s convenient and has great vegan options! The mint tea is also a fave!
Forever Young for the Win!!! I’m Forever Grateful for Urban Vegan!!! Best Vegan drinks and meals I’ve Ever Had!! I highly recommend!! The customer service is top notch as well!
Unreal. The food is soooo amazing. I wanted to include a picture of the food but it was so good we accidentally ate it all! A Vegan’s Dream!
