Vegan deli!

Sooo yum! Great protein options unique market items like vegan parm & steak tips. The burger was 10/10 super moist. Also love that it’s ethically vegan with animal liberation posters 💗 Will definitely be back with friends!

If you want to enjoy some great nyc style subs, this is the place!! Delicious! Limited place to sit out/inside, for a quick bite. Also some great groceries to be found here.

Hits the vegan spot

This place was behind our hotel we stayed in for a few days while in NYC and I think I went there every day. They have a great selection of vegan snacks but it's quite pricey. Loved their sandwiches though. Proper comfort food.

New menu!

They recently updated the menu and happened to add a lot more options that appeal to me compared to their old menu. Today i tried the Pippa sandwicg and it was not only delicious but HUGE. I NEED to figure out how to replicate their yuba ham!

Must Stop in NYC

My go-to stop to pick up a vegan sandwich (among other things) before heading to the airport.

Snacks, soft serve, and deli offerings: all plant-based and terrific.
Time to eat there? Get the Reuben.
On the go? Get the Rocko Club. Splurge on the mac n cheese or soft serve, you won't regret it.

Bonus, it adjoins with Moo Shoes, my favorite all-vegan accessories store in NYC. Great cruelty-free shoes and handbags!

Take your pick of vegan goodies!

Great selection of all vegan grocery items. Ordered the croissant breakfast and salted caramel milkshake. Both were fantastic!

Phenomenal Sandwiches

Vegan Sandwiches in different variations. They offer sandwiches on Rolls, Bagels, on a Croissant or a Hero. Many different toppings with alternatives for meat, cheese and egg. We came there two times because it was so good! They have also some sweet items like donuts, croissants and cookies, and a small shop offering vegan groceries. Definitely the best vegan sandwiches I had in New York!

Pros: Various toppings, Very good meat and egg alternatives , Friendly service!

Best vegan spot!!

Hands down my fav place to visit in NYC!! The Monty is one of the yummies Sammy’s I’ve ever had! My non vegan partner has ranked it in their top 10 favorite sandwiches and I’d call that a win! Pastries are amazing and grocery selections are great! So many fun new things to try here!

Soft serve 10/10

I’ve gotten their vegan soft serve twice. This past time I had a vanilla and peanut butter twist and it was amazing in a waffle cone.

Teurer Veganer Supermarkt mit Imbiss

Der Supermarkt ist teuer. Der Bagel mit Frischkäse war lecker aber nichts besonderes.

Cons: Preis, Freundlichkeit

Very hearty sandwiches

Would definitely recommend going there to grab a sandwich on the go! They are huge and delicious. Not much room to sit inside.

Chocolate Chip Cookie

Been wanting to get here for a while. Ordered for pickup but was not sure how far in advance to order because of some conflicting info online. Some parts of their menu/website say 1 hour to pick up, others say 20 minutes, and then when I received the confirmation email it said typically 30 minutes. Anyway, we ordered the Monty, a side of Mac n cheese, and a chocolate chip cookie. The Monty was extremely soggy and the peppers and vegetables overtook the flavor of the sandwich. There was a small amount of meat and mostly vegetables which was a shame. Sandwich was like a 6/10 - flavors were good but the fact that it was too soggy to enjoy really took away from the sandwich. Mac n cheese was great and the cookie was a 10/10. Would return and try other sandwiches.

Best salad ever

Had the Orchard Cobb salad and it was lowkey one of the best salads I’ve ever had! Each component was super flavourful and together perfectly balanced. They have lots of sandwiches and fresh pastries too. Grocery section has a lot of unique and hard-to-find vegan products.

Pros: Life changing salad, Friendly staff, Quick and delicious food

Cons: No wifi, Only disposable containers/cutlery

Good

This was around the corner from
our hotel so we went there a couple
times. We had four sandwiches and all of them were good but nothing special. The store has a good selection of vegan items and I love Moo Shoes next door (and their store cat)

A must visit

Great prices, incredible food, awesome atmosphere inside. Also has a terrific selection of vegan products for cooking at home that’s really cool. My only request would be that they sell coffees and lattes as well, breakfast isn’t breakfast without some coffee and I always have to go down the street for it

SO GOOD

I've been here 4-5 times so far and gotten the daily every time and they're always amazing. I like browsing the vegan groceries while I wait.

Vegan deli + shop

It was so nice to find a vegan place where I could try some New York classics and sit down to enjoy my sandwich by the window. I also did a little food shop so I could try vegan products I don't usually have access to. It made my dinners at home easy and accessible.

Pros: Vegan deli with a solid choice of sandwiches, shop for groceries at the same time.

Cons: A bit loud for me, not many seats available.

Trendy

It's not actually too focused on the grocery part of things. There are a lot of trendy and expensive snacks for sale, though. I bought 2 dates filled with peanut butter for $7, and it says they were grown in Coachella Valley. Those were really good.. I also bought a snack that's just croutons covered in nooch for $8. Decent, kind of enjoyable. Some tiny poptarts for $8, which were so gross. Haha. I looked at some staples that I usually get, too, but they were also overpriced. The vibe I got is that this place exists for Instagram and to be vegan for trend. Dont come out of your way, but if you're already nearby, perhaps only come with the sandwiches in mind?

Good

The pastrami sandwich was super tasty. Never had vegan pastrami. But it was quite similar to what I remember several years ago when I wasn't vegan.

This is considered a $ rather than $$, but I'd consider this more of a $$. The prices for the sandwiches are a bit high. But I guess this is new York, despite me seeing cheaper sandwiches elsewhere

Updated from previous review on 2025-05-27

Pros: Pastrami, The grocery options are good too.

Cons: Pricey

Great selection of vegan treats

I had the croissant with egg, bacon, cheese, spicy mayo and scallions and it was delicious but a bit sloppy so was quite hard to eat! My husband had the Cuban and which he also loved. Fully vegan with lots of great options and a shop which sells lots of fun vegan treats. Definitely recommend you go if you’re vegan in NY

Pros: All vegan , Great breakfast and brunch options , Fun shop
