Wow

Can’t say enough about this place. Super fresh, super healthy, amazing staff, great vibe. It’s elevated but comfortable and I would say priced very very well for what you are getting.

Pros: Quality , Portions , Freshness

Cons: None

A must visit

Visited their pop up in the harborplace pavilion first but so glad they have a full space and kitchen now. Sandwiches: messy and delicious. Pizzas: great crust and house made toppings. Smoked eggplant wasn’t something I knew I needed to have but it was amazing. Desserts: perfection. So many amazing choices that it’s perfect for a group if you’re into sharing plates and everyone getting something different. (Or find your favorite and keep it all to yourself, no judgement)

Pros: Entirely plant-based, Friendly staff, warm atmosphere

Amazing food amazing people

My husband is in a wheelchair and we didn’t know the entrance had steps. But a couple that was also camping for brunch and one of the employees helped and we got in without an issue. Brunch was so tasty. Cinnamon roll, scramble tofu and hand over pizza. YUM. We had ordered takeout a few times in the past but it was nice to enjoy their new location.

MUST visit

Easily the best vegan restaurant around, has me seriously considering moving back to bmore!! Service is top tier, all staff and the owner were so friendly, even on their very busy last day in the harborplace location. This is definitely the best brunch I’ve ever had, we ordered a ton and everything was tasty!

I cannot say enough good things about them, you have to go!!!

Pros: Best service , Variety of sweet/savory , Great drinks

AYFKM it’s unbelievably good

Came for brunch. Wish I was in town longer because I want to try everything on all their menus. Everything is had was amazing beyond expectation. Tofu scramble was NOT ordinary, it was full of intricate flavor and carefully constructed textures. Bloody Mary was excellent, latte perfect. The scramble portion was a full meal and yet I still had order the ravioli bravas just to try them. They’re unreal, get them. The place is cute and everyone in it super friendly. Honestly I’d say this is one of the best vegan restaurants in the country, definitely for the price point. It would easily fit in with the best in Los Angeles and New York City; Baltimore is lucky to have Oleum.

Pros: Amazing flavors, nothing ordinary , Cute location, Friendly staff

Home Run

The Baltimore vegan scene will see me again. Oleum hit it out of the park; and with their new location in Fells Point this June, a home run has been scored.

Pros: Food, Staff

Be prepared to make hard decisions!

There was nothing on the menu we wouldn't have like to try which is great but also difficult to make a decision. We settled on sharing the dolmas & mezze (included toum, muhammara, and two types of hummus with four flatbreads). Everything is made fresh to order, to the point the flatbread is still warm when they bring it out. Amazing stuff.
We also go a coffee butter latte and the peanut butter horchita. Amazing sweet drinks while still maintaining a wonderful coffee and tea taste.

Some of the best vegan food I’ve had anywhere

Truly amazing meals we came back the next day for more. The whole menu is bomb.

Firestarter pizza, hot Italian panini, mezze, Caesar salad, bucatini, risotto and the new chocolate tart 🔥 social hour cocktail 🥂

Great service from the louis, bean, and the owner the whole team seems happy to be there. Wish we had a spot like this in SF. We will be back

Exquisitely Delish Plant Based Meals

Delicious whole food plant based dishes & drinks that keep us returning for more! Outstanding flavors, generous platings of nutritious, seasonal food. Great service (love Bean!). An extraordinarily talented Chef Adibe & her amazing team produce memorable meals both familiar & exotic. Try all. Highly recommend! Thrilled to have Oleum here in Baltimore. 👏👏👏😋

Pros: Best cannelli beans of my life!, Best risotto esp. leeks & mushrooms (peas pls😁), Exceptional Chef Adibe & her Wonderful team

Everything here was so good!! I had the Leo (pizza), miso mushroom bucatini, Moroccan lentil soup, and dolmas. A lot of food, but also very light. Service was fast and we got everything promptly

Pros: Tasty, delicious food, Fast service

Fantastic

I went there for the first time last weekend and it was incredible. The pesto panini was the best vegan sandwich I’ve ever had. The pizza was extremely good also. They know how to use vegan cheese sparingly for best effect.
We were told they are moving to a new location at Fells Point in a couple months so check before you go.

Vegan haven in Baltimore

We received warmly by the servers, and sat away from the main doors to try to warm up after a cold and wet morning.
I warmed up with a delicious chai latte, bowl of soup and vodka pasta. There were so many choices on the menu, and after a road trip around the area it was fantastic to finally find vegan food in a small independent business.

Pros: Independent business , Fully vegan menu with lots of choices , Delicious food

Delicious Comfort Food

Oleum is located in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor so it is a bit pricey. The restaurant makes the best of the space it has by using privacy screens to keep the tables separate from the mall corridor. Vegans who are used to making do might feel overwhelmed by all the choices on the strictly plant-based menu. I really enjoyed the spicy Italian sandwich and my omnivore parents relished their food, the wedge salad paired with potato soup and pesto pasta with basil and tomato.

Pros: Entirely plant based, Good selection , Attentive wait staff

Cons: Food doesn’t all come out at once

Amazing vegan food

Incredible food and committed to veganism. Feels impressively fancy especially given their somewhat awkward location right now in the old mall. The mains are all very solid, with big portions and creative menu options, but the desserts are the highlight! Do not miss the tiramisu!

The servers have always been so kind and friendly. They also have a coffee and dessert bar tucked behind the restaurant further into the mall. Oleum is awesome! You will leave very full and very happy!

The Best!

An altogether fabulous experience--the food, the staff, the ambience! I especially appreciated that everything is made from scratch onsite. I find most restaurant food to be excessively oily and salty, but the soup and salad that I ordered were delicately spiced and satisfying without weighing me down. Also, there were many gluten-free options. Will definitely return!

A new favorite!

I had their calzone, the one that has pesto, just delicious! I also had a few of their lattes over the few days I was in the area. So much fun trying different flavored lattes. Now anytime I go to Baltimore, this is a must!

No flavor

I was very disappointed by this experience. I ordered the vodka pasta and the Alfredo and both were absolutely flavorless. We asked if they had seasonings…. They did not. Sad to have wasted so much money on food I could’ve made better if I had made it myself. The staff was nice but I would not recommend coming here.

Cons: No flavor, Expensive , Small portion

Great for vegans and friends

Was happy to find Oleum on Happy Cow — would never suspect such a gem is inside this mall-like building. It is super close to the convention center and Inner Harbor hotels. The food was delicious and is the type of food that non-vegan friends will enjoy. The Cannellini Tapa was rich, hearty, and delicious and could be a meal itself for lunch with the accompanying flatbread. The Mushroom &Leek Risotto had layers of great flavors. The small plate is more than enough if you had an app. The dessert menu is a goldmine for vegans! The owner was there and was on top of things, making sure her team was tending to tables and properly preparing and presenting plates. Very friendly and chatty.

Pros: Delicious food, Options, Great staff

I would marry Oleum

Oleum
I texted at least five people about Oleum. It was probably the best meal I’ve ever had. The flavor, quality of ingredients, freshness, service, everything was top notch.
There were so many things we wanted to try on the menu, we agreed to come back before we even experienced the food.
Our server Benu was so personable and had the best recommendations. He and the chef made accommodations to my allergies without making sacrifices to flavor. He informed us we could do half and half on pizzas and the two flavors he recommended (Toum Raider & Firestarter) were out of this world delicious. Benu was so attentive, he seemed destined to make sure we had a great experience. We were so appreciative of him! The chef also came out and introduced herself after we ate our pizza and she was so sweet and interested in our opinions. Of course we had nothing to offer except that it was perfect. I was interested to learned she was a midwesterner, like myself.
We started the meal with two lattes. I had a raspberry latte that reminded me of everything valentines day, and my husband who ordered a plain latte got talked into the cookie butter latte and raved about it. No regrets (thank you Benu).
Next we had the ravioli which was definitely fresh pasta and I liked that it was pan fried on the bottom. The flavors were refreshing.
The toum raider had the most amazing cheese I’ve ever had, the kale was fresh and crisp (I’ve never even liked kale) and the garlic was so tasty. The firestarter had spicy Calabrian chilis (but Benu kept our water full constantly) and a delicious italian sausage. At this point we are way past full. But after seeing how talented the chef was I definitely had to have dessert.
Neither of us have ever liked tiramisu but we trusted Benu and we are so glad we did. Drop everything you know about the freezer burned tiramisu that most restaurants serve and you will be in for a treat.
I don’t have one complaint. The packaging and items used during service seemed environmentally conscious, the restaurant is right on the water and the inside is so charmingly designed. I had even messaged Oleum and they gave me advice on where to park (came from out of state to see them). I grabbed parking for $3 and it was a 5 minute walk. I hope to visit many, many times. Thank you so much!

Pros: Amazing taste, Great service, 100% vegan

Super friendly team and amazing food!

Super friendly staff! The food is all vegan and amazing! I tried the Toum raider pizza which was phenomenal. The carrot cake was also delicious! I had the rose cardamom chai - which had a very weak flavour and wouldn’t have that again. All the menu looked incredible and I can’t wait to go back to try more!!! Perfectly situated at the harbour.

Pros: All vegan with super friendly staff , Lots of choices, Delicious food

Friendly team. Currently on street level in shopping mall in harbour (tourist) area. Much garlic but sweets are always and potatoes can be done without. Look at the photographs, pls, OMG 🌟 Insane pancakes & sweet rolls (not always containing cinnamon) on Sunday(s). Lovely intereor decorations, too.
