Probably the best desserts in the city - Edit
I frequent peacefood, probably because of their ideal location, but I also enjoy the food. They have a good variety of just vegetables and faux meat dishes, but my favorite part are the desserts. They have a large variety and everyone of them are delicious. I highly recommend the tiramisu, carrot cake, cheesecake, and some of their scones.

Varied menu, enjoyed it a lot - Edit
We had a Starters dinner comprised of dumplings, chickpea fries, and the chicken strips (can't remember the actual name). I was definitely impressed by the chickpea fries; they were very well seasoned and the texture was different and better than I was expecting. Looking forward to coming back for more.

Delicious vegan desserts (but mid savory food)! - Edit
I’ve been to Peacefood before and thought the (savory) food was underwhelming. But they’re a great spot for vegan desserts.

- Hot chocolate mint (with oat milk): tasted like a liquidated Milano; feels nostalgic
- Carrot cake: very good and not overly sweet!

Great downtown vegan spot - Edit
A delicious and filling meal! I had the mac and cheese and got a juice as well. The service was quick and attentive. I hadn't been to this location in a while, but it's a great space and conveniently located near Union Square, Washington Square Park, and NYU. A perfect place to stop for a quick lunch!

Tasty vegan food and hearty portions - Edit
Lots of vegan choices, food was very tasty, and portions were large, especially for NYC. I had the chickpea fries for appetizers— it was very tasty but a bit spicy for me (menu did indicate that it had Indian spices) and was not oily at all. I had the pumpkin sandwich —it had a sweet flavor profile, but adding the tempeh (which was very savory) balanced it a lot. Spelt bread was fresh and hearty. Had a good selection of house-made vegan cakes and pasties, which I took home to share with my family.

I’ll probably be back - Edit
I got the miso tahini sandwich with added tempeh here before heading to JFK. I thought the miso tahini sauce would be more savory, but it was very sweet. The tempeh was pretty good though, and it held up well on the trip to the airport. I’ll probably be back to try more of their menu.
