Good food,although fries were limp and cold :( - Edit
The “wings”, mac&cheese, house ginger ale, the “po boy” and vanilla ice cream were outstanding whereas the burger was okay. The fries were not what we expected. Limp and cold. I was surprised to be charged a extra for asking the shitake bacon to be on the side and not on the Mac because my son doesn’t like them, but I do. I was also charged extra for asking for the cheese in the side, instead of having it in the burger.

Great vegan comfort food - Edit
We went there for brunch. The menu is an all-day menu and some dishes sounded great for brunch, like the waffle, French toast and chick'n waffle. Everything was delicious but I wish they had a specific brunch menu and more coffee options.
Read moreWe also had wings on the side. All the "chick'n" is made from seitan and it's really good!
The service was amazing and it's not too pricey.

Mac and cheese!!!! - Edit
Some of the best Mac and cheese. They use numu cheese which I always appreciate. Their seitan steaks are delicious. They also always have cool events going on that are good to keep an eye out for.

Phenomenal Vegan Food - Edit
One of my favorite places in the world. It’s always a pleasure to be able to select from an all-vegan menu, not having to worry about what may be in the food anyway, or asking for alterations to the dish.
Read moreUrban Vegan Kitchen has something for everyone, no matter the meal. Check out the “Chick’un and Waffles”!
If you know in advance that you want to go, consider making a reservation (currently through Resy).
For a proper dinner, check out their sister location, Blossom.
Pros: Great selection, Breakfasty/Brunch food!

Fun spot! - Edit
We’ve always had such a fun time visiting UVK! They have a DJ spinning some nights and we enjoy sitting at the bar. I do wish the Mac and cheese was a little bit more flavorful and creamy, but we’ve loved the chickn and waffles and massive lasagna!

Decent food but overpriced - Edit
The menu is not large and has a lot of seitan based options, so I chose the tempeh BLT. Coming from SF I'm used to high prices but $17 for a normal sized vegan BLT is pushing it ($21 with avo) and then what I thought was a $10 sundae was essentially a large scoop of ice cream (two normal scoops if you want to be generous). Pretty outrageous.

It was alright... - Edit
I think I may have oversold this place to myself before I even got here. I saw some food photos and it looked great and although the food wasn't bad it wasnt incredible either. Let's put it this way the price point doesn't support the quality or taste. Honestly, I almost couldn't believe I decided to pay those prices but again I oversold myself and then when I had to pay the bill I died a little on the inside. Both hubby and I had the Ckn& Waffles and Pancake bites. They looked so good when they got there but were a little too dough heavy for me. "Chicken" wasn't bad but a little dry and waffle with slightly doughy as well, wanna know what stole the show the fricken Kale on top of the waffles; oh lord baby Jesus I could have eaten a whole tub of that and been completely content. It was really good and the seasoning was deelish but again not $22 good,know what I mean? We went close to dinner and decided not to eat from that menu since the dish was on the brunch menu also.

Cons: the price! needs to be reduced...bad

Great brunch - Edit
We came here for brunch and got the hush puppies to start with, the breakfast sandwich for my partner, and the chick-un and waffle for myself. I'd highly recommend getting the hush puppies; they were delicious. Apparently every table had ordered them according to our waiter. I much preferred the waffle plate to the breakfast sandwich, which was just ok. Prices were quite high for the serving portions. Service was chill and friendly. If I lived in NYC, I'd come often and eat my way through the entire menu!
