DELI is the word to note - Edit
Yes, they make excellent vegan sandwiches and soups, but you can get those lots of places in Philly. The thing that sets this place apart, is the availability of vegan meats and cheeses, by the pound or less. That you cannot get in too many places, if any in Center City, Philly. A 1/4 pound of their Corned Beef, 1/4 cheese of your choice - I am hooked on their American - get some sauerkraut and 10,000 Island dressing elsewhere and you can make a few of your own Reubens at home.
Read morePros: Deli Vegan Meats and Cheeses by the pound or less, Great prepared salads like Chicken and Tuna
Cons: Can't think of any

Amazing food - Edit
The customer service here was great and the sausage egg and cheese sandwich was phenomenal. I tried to go back a second time but they closed early. Highly recommend

Best bagel, “lox” combo - Edit
An oasis in a busy flesh filled historic food court, this place is definitely worth the visit! Haven’t had a bagel combo like this ever as a vegan. Mock tuna also super tasty and not over filled with mayonnaise like they usually are.

Vegan gem in the middle of Reading Terminal Market - Edit
Quick, affordable *all vegan deli*. I had the tuna salad, chicken salad the Reuben, as well as the breakfast egg and sausage. The sandwiches were very filling and super dee-lish! The deli offers basic soups, sandwiches and a full service deli counter to sample and take home some yummy looking vegan cheeses and lunch cold cuts. So far, I've sampled the pepperoni and the capicola and both were very yummy. I stayed across the street at the Marriott and this deli was my go-to for quick, filling meals every day during my work trip.

Wish I tried more - Edit
I was visiting Philadelphia and wanted to check out Reading Terminal Market. Luhv is the only vegan place in there. I tried the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. The flavors were good but the “sausage” and “egg” both squished towards the back of the bagel every time I took a bite of the sandwich. The texture of the egg seemed more similar to a spread because it wasn’t solid. I wish I had bought the tuna and chikn salad to go tubs so I could’ve tried more. If I’m ever in the area again I will definitely go back and try more.
Read morePros: Good flavors, Variety of options

Solid lunch option at the Terminal! - Edit
First off- the sandwich menu looks limited, but that’s because they are very solid options! I had the chicken salad on rye, because who doesn’t love rye. It’s huge, it lasts 2 meals. Plus they support local biz like Dotties and currently batter & crumb (Brookie!!!) Customer service was great and I even got a fist bump for being vegan 😂
Read moreUpdate: I’ve since tried the Reuben lunch special with energy soup ❤️ - greasy Sammy but so good!
Pros: All vegan, Can get vegan cheese & meat BY THE POUND!, Snacks & treats too!
Cons: I wish it was right next to my office

Stopped by for breakfast during a Philly overnight. I was blown away by how delicious everything tasted. My little vegan twins loved everything too. Friendly staff and great prices though I’m used to the pricey NYC vegan food.

Small menu, but a winner! - Edit
This is a deli to buy meats, cheeses and salads to take home. They also make a few sandwiches you can eat in RTM. The Reuben is greasy and I liked that!

A vegan island paradise in a sea on non-vegan chaos! Especially for vegan Philadelphia Convention Center attendees, a great spot to grab a great meal that is extremely convenient! Highly recommend!

Amazing service, tasty food - Edit
This ALL vegan deli is lovely! Perfect spot to grab food while out in the city. It was very busy from a convention so a few things were sold out but the cashier was the friendliest and happiest woman I've ever encountered. I ordered the tuna salad in a pita wrap. Everything was very fresh. I believe the "tuna" is chickpea based and it is seasoned well. The vegan cheese just tasted like cheddar cheese. And the portion size was great, I only ate a little more than half for one meal. Also wait time was not long at all which is always a nice surprise for Reading Terminal. I can't wait to go back amd try more food here.

Oasis in the middle of the food desert - Edit
Historical food court with just about every animal product you can think of, and then there’s this small little vegan deli. They recommended the Reuben sandwich, which was definitely life-changing. I’m talking the best Reuben sandwich that I’ve had even better than the original. I had them put it through the grill to make it extra crispy so it was just right for me. Definitely recommend with confidence. Only thing I would say, is it would be nice to be able to pick any of their deli meats to make your own sandwich, but you can only order their fee set sandwiches on the menu. It’s a very tiny place, so I’m sure they have their logistical reasons. You can buy all kinds of vegan cheese and vegan meat deli products for Takeaway. Simply fantastic!

Tasty Fast Options - Edit
I've been to this place on two separate occasions. On the first occasion, I got their chicken salad sandwich and, on the second, I got their sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. The chicken salad was just okay, but the breakfast sandwich was delish. I can't really explain how it was delish because it's literally comprised of some kind of homemade, sausage-tasting grain patty, an egg-y tofu puree, and an everything bagel, but it is worth the try! For two sandwiches, we paid $20 with a tip, so not too bad. These are hefty sandwiches.
Read moreThe deli also serves some of Dottie's Donuts, and you can get a lot of their meats and cheeses from the Herbiverous Butcher to go, so there are lots of items to choose from. Reading Terminal Market, where this place is located, is a fun and high energy atmosphere, making this place extra worth the stop.
Pros: Tasty food
Cons: A little hard to find when the marketplace is busy

Solid choice, even for gluten-free - Edit
This fun concept for a deli was epic. They have one deli meat option (scrapple, a local cultural meat) and veggie patties that are gluten-free, as well as bread. I had the chipotle chickpea with gouda, and it was incredible.

Delicious! - Edit
While it’s not fun to walk by all the dead animals to get to this stand in the Reading Terminal Market, it’s important for an all vegan place to be there to represent. The Sausage, Egg, and Cheese sandwich was amazing. I’m not sure what the house made sausage is made of but it’s super tasty. The Lox Bagel had way too much cream cheese but was good otherwise. They have some sweets, but I didn’t try any of them.
