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.
Read moreOrdered:
- 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!

The carrot cake is simply to die for - Edit
I’m a regular at this consistently good vegan gem in the city. Their version of the burger is great, and their carrot cake is simply the best I’ve ever had

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.

I Finally Found The Vegan Dessert To Fully Satisfy Me - Edit
I'm a lifelong chocoholic relatively new to veganism. So far, the vegan desserts I tried in the last year were decent (5-8/10) but not great. This streak of mediocrity ended when I tried the chocolate peanut butter cheesecake at Peacefood Cafe. Wow! 9/10. I did not have time to sit down for a full meal but I will soon and report back.

Delicious & Versatile Vegan Food - Edit
The food and upscale atmosphere of Peacefood gives the perfect melange of cozy and welcoming. I had the nachos, chickpea fries, “steak” with potatoes and green beans, a mouse tart slice and a chocolate cake slice. Everything was delicious and my favorite was the “stake” which had an incredible taste and texture. #Veganuary
