Vegan sandwiches 🥪

Small cool looking spot. We took a 40 minute drive to get here. Been on our vegan bucket list for quite some time. Well worth it! Triple threat and Lucy was delish.

First Visit

I had the triple threat and it was awesome! Best vegan sandwich I’ve had in my 9 years as a vegan. I definitely
recommend it and will be returning for it.

The best!

Great vegan deli. The Triple Threat (Italian sandwich) ruled. Perfect flavor balance. Fresh. 10/10. I bought a bunch of slices to go to make this sandwich at home. The macaroni salad was great. And the people working there were friendly and helpful. Can't recommend it enough. I wish this place was in my town.

Too salty for my taste

the staff are super nice and place is really sweet but honestly the sandwich I got (triple threat) was good but really salty (everyone has dif tastes tho so maybe others like it!).

Excellent sandwiches

I'm not usually a fan of cold sandwiches, but the triple threat was so good! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu 😁

Great sandwiches

I loved Seitan's Helper. I had two of the BEST sandwiches I've ever had. Their seitan meat is absolutely delicious. The Triple Threat sandwich was my favorite with mortadella, salami, pepperoni, vegan cheddar, red onion, roasted red peppers, banana peppers, greens, mayo, vinaigrette on a focaccia hero. Their bread is also baked fresh as well, so bonus points for that. The deli itself is a cool vibe and very Brooklyn! They also have rotating specials.

Pros: Price , Cool vibe, Great sandwiches

I love coming here. Super sweet people behind the counter and amazing stacked sandwiches. I’ve tried most things on the menu and haven’t had anything I didn’t like. Also pretty reasonably priced for Bushwick vegan food.

Best sandwiches ever!

Hands down the best sandwiches I've ever eaten, vegan or not. We had the T-bird and the evil twin, both amazing but the crunch of green apple and pickled green tomatoes in the T-bird was truly something special.

Definitely a takeaway vibe rather than a sit down cafe, but absolutely worth a special trip out here! I only wish I was visiting NYC for longer so I could have gone again!

Pros: Amazing sandwiches, Staff are lovely

Cute place

The restaurant has a super cute atmosphere and the sandwiches were sooo savory and delish!! I love that they had so many not typical vegan options to add (such as bacon from Seiten, vegan cheese or omelette)! The kombucha was nice for people who do not like their drink super sweet! And also the staff was extremely friendly and sympathetic 🌞

The only thing I’d criticize was s that the bread could have been better (missed some crunch and actual flavor - but this is also pretty normal for bread in the USA) and that the seating area inside wasn’t super comfortable

Vegan, queer, made from scratch!

I took a 30 min train and walked for another 30 min to find this gem. Soo worth it!

I tried two sandwiches, and they were delicious.

Just go! 😊 #Veganuary

Lovely sandwich shop

We made a special trip to this place to try their sandwiches and we were not disappointed! We got the sexy devil and the Jason - both excellent. Lovely owners too.

Ingredients made from scratch

Seitan’s Helper has an awesome thing going on. It’s a vegan deli, with all its meats made from seitan, in-house, from scratch with cheeky names for its sandwiches like Evil Twin and The Omen. And they are delish!

Had the BEC from their standard menu which comes with their chickpea nomelette with maple bacon and red pepper jam on a potato onion roll.

Also tried The Creature from their specialty menu made with grilled chik’n and red peppers, cashew mozzarella, olive tapenade, and chimi churri sauce on focaccia.

These sandos do not skimp on flavor. Like the place, they burst with personality. Can’t recommend Seitan’s Helper enough. It made my day. #Veganuary

Oh. My. God.

This place is awesome. If you want something that will blow your mind, try the Pan Witch: a breakfast sandwich with pancakes instead of bread. Run by the nicest folks you’ll ever meet too.

Pros: Delicious, Reasonably priced, Amazing service

Great sandwiches

Cute little place with deli vibe. Went with the evil twin and the am rito. Both were great and filling. We had some desserts too (amazing - very tasty) but didn't snap a pic before they were gone. Would go again.

Sandwich place

I remember coming here during the pandemic super excited about all the options but the sandwich I was ultimately unimpressive I do really want to come back and try another one since their food looks so good I just did not find the taste to be as good as it looked

Best tofu scramble

I LOVE the tofu scramble here. I don’t know how they make it so perfectly. Wish more sandwiches included it instead of the nomelette, which I find less flavorful and sort of sticky? Anyway, the sandwiches here are generally amazing. The housemade mozzarella spread is delicious, and the seitan is, of course, tops. They are offering pastries now, which unfortunately aren’t as great as the ones from Pisces Rising, but it’s nice to have the option.

Tasty sandwiches

We ordered the Triple Threat and Evil Twin which had a good amount of seitan inside as well as coleslaw, cheese, and mayo. Nice bread too! These two sandwiches were kind of similar to each other so next time, I'll order the egg sandwich for a different taste.

Hail Seitan!

The place is so good. They specialize in faux deli meats and have plenty of fantastic sandwiches. They also do brunch on the weekends with some of the greatest breakfast dishes we’ve ever had. The Biscuits & Gravy and the BEC breakfast sandwich are must try’s. They serve a bunch of baked goods/desserts from a few different local vegan bakers. The also have a full variety of coffee drinks. The service is friendly and professional. It’s really everything you want a vegan cafe to be.

Pros: Fully vegan, Great tasting food, Reasonable prices

Cons: It’s supposedly a temporary location

Amazingly cheap vg eats

This spot is super hip and has great food. The brunch menu is short and sweet and will not disappoint. The sandwiches are $6-$8 when a lot of other vg places will charge double that so this is a must !!!

Pros: Great options , Affordable!!!, Great vibes
