Not good - Edit
The sandwich was ok. The service was bad. I support vegan restaurants and shops as much as I can, but I don’t support shops that don’t treat their customers fairly. Just now I realized that I wasn’t treated fairly when I ordered the other day. I ordered first before the other customer but they receive order first. And the staff was kind and friendly to all the white customers, but they weren’t as kind to me, a non-white. I’ve never felt this way before in any country or restaurant that I’ve visited in my life. The only place and restaurant I’ve felt this strange feeling was there. And now I just realized what this strange feeling is. If I could give this shop a 1 star, I would.

Meh it’s fine - Edit
Lots of bagel shops have vegan cream cheese in NYC but there aren’t that many vegan bagel sandwich options so I wanted to give this place a try. They have a vegan carrot lox bagel sandwich called the Edith. Unfortunately they only have plain or everything (I prefer sesame) but opted for the everything. I was surprised by how sweet the carrot lox were. If I wasn’t so hungry I don’t think I would have finished this. I was pretty disappointed; I expected savory not sweet. My partner tried the Bowery sandwich and had a much better experience. He really liked it—I thought it was just OK. YMMV

Brands and items you don’t see elsewhere - Edit
Lots of gems of new products here - super fun to look around. I also you often get a little something prepared to eat, either a soft serve cone or breakfast croissant sandwich.

We loved this place - Edit
What a great selection of vegan groceries and made to order food. We were recommended this place and so glad we checked it out. We ordered the no egg, bacon, cheese and spring onions croissant and it was amazing. We also had mac and cheese. We don't have the 'no egg' in England and ot was fantastic. Would definitely go back. #Veganuary

Awesome little vegan shop - Edit
Great variety of vegan groceries here - if I had access to cooking facilities in NY I could have bought a lot of stuff. We got a vegan cheddar spread, two kinds of cheesy flavoured chips, a fig-based salami, babybel cheeses, and soft serve ice cream to eat there - vanilla and Mexican hot chocolate twist for me - amazing.

Incredible menu - Edit
The food is amazing, so many options. The bagel was not on the menu but when we asked if they did them we were told that anything on the menu could be made on a bagel. We tried a plain bagel with cream cheese and the Bowery roll and both were amazing and good prices too!

Fantastic! - Edit
Soooooo much to choose from. I had the breakfast croissant on one day and the Caesar salad on another, both were great. And with so many products available, it's hard to resist buying everything in the store 😆

Seriously, we split a Francis sandwich which was like a warm embrace on a rainy cloudy day, bought some snacks to take home and had the best creamy soft serve ever - SERIOUSLY - this soft serve is the real deal and was so good we went back for more😉

Wide Variety, Very Expensive - Edit
I didn’t get anything from the deli, but I did check it out and purchase a few items from the market section. I was so impressed with the wide array of products (they carried brands and products I’d never seen before). I also love that everything is palm oil free, but everything was soooo expensive.

Best vegan fast food on Manhattan - Edit
We had sandwiches, salad and soft serve, and everything was super tasty, easily the best vegan fast food I’ve had on Manhattan! The service is fast and friendly, and the grocery store has tons of yummy pre-packaged things like vegan cheese, snacks and candy. Highly recommended, support a fully vegan business instead of the big “health food” stores full of animal products!

Creamy soft serve - Edit
I tried the soft serve here and it was everything I wanted it to be. So creamy and really delicious. The peanut butter had a really strong PB flavor. Will definitely go back next time in NYC

Everything You Need (and then some) - Edit
Orchard Grocer has it all! As an Angeleno, I’m not used to finding grocery stores that are comparable to Besties…..Orchard does just that (and might even rival them)! The sandwiches are heavenly. The service is friendly. The variety is great. You gotsta check them out if you’re in NYC #Veganuary

Bland & disappointing - Edit
Huge disappointment. Reading all the 5 star reviews makes this place sound amazing - sadly not the case. I tried the Monty which sounded great but was pretty much the blandest sandwich I can remember eating. It tasted like a plain roll, just a bit saltier. I asked the staff member if they could put it in the grill for me (since warm food is tastier than cold food)and they refused on the basis that “that’s the way it’s supposed to be”.

Delicious! - Edit
This was the first place I stopped for food on my last trip to NYC after finding them on Instagram. I was not disappointed, it was some of the best food I had on my trip!! I had a Reuben and it was super tasty.

Sensational - Edit
When you combine the coleslaw from the chicken sandwich with the strawberry soft serve, it tastes like a vintage bowling alley carpet. Please try
