What a wonderful find!

I was visiting Columbus for a football game and looking for vegan food for our tailgate. From the charcuterie board to the breakfast bowl to the sandwiches; this little gem did not disappoint. The food was incredible.

Pros: They make all the “meats”, The menu items are freshly made, Breakfast options were incredibly good.

Cons: No!

A gem

Vida's is an absolute gem. I get their sandwiches and deli "meat" fairly regularly throughout the year. I have yet to be disappointed! I've also ordered their Thanksgiving meals two years in a row. Fabulous food. The sandwiches are reasonably priced and staff is friendly.

Worth the trip

Outside of town, but I'm glad we made the trip. I was a little disappointed with the Mac & cheese but the deli meat was great in a sandwich! I liked the chorizo too.

One of my favorites

I’ve been going here for years, so I thought I’d finally leave a review! I love this place. The food is good, the owner and employees are always great, and the location is convenient for me. I’ve brought non-vegan friends and family here, and they liked it too!

The sandwich I’ve been crazing!

We stopped before heading to a concert, and were not disappointed! We shared the pulled pork, macaroni salad, pesto melt, and chkn salad sandwich…all delightfully messy and fully of flavor!

Pros: Flavor, Quality

Amazing brunch

This was my first time visiting Vida's and it happened to be a Saturday late morning so I was able to get brunch! Their stuffed waffles are so unique and so tasty. The vegan sausage is spiced so well. The person working today also made me a new item not yet on the menu which was a hash brown bowl filled with veggies, vegan egg, and vegan sausage - so tasty! There is also vegan faux meat available at the counter, which is unique. May buy some next time.

Update:
I have been back a few times since my initial review, and I have been so happy with all of the food! I also did an Easter dinner preorder which was amazing (forgive my photos, I forgot to get pictures before we started eating 😅). The owner is so nice and loves creating new items and trying new recipes. The vegan meats and cheeses are all homemade and have such great flavors and textures. Highly recommend!

AMAZING VEGAN SANDWICHES!!

I brought my dog to OSU Vet & had a few hours to kill. Found Vida’s on Happy Cow & what a revelation!! I thoroughly enjoyed the Hot Ruben. I’m vegan but it tasted just like the meat version. So delicious! The deli meats in the case looked very appetizing & the service was friendly & prompt. Definitely stop by & try Vida’s Plant Based Butcher if you’re nearby!

Pros: Quality, Taste, Service

Great breakfast!

Vida's is known for their vegan deli sandwiches and deli items like cold cuts, deli salads, and vegan cheeses, and they have complete holiday meals as well. I really like their sandwiches, the California being my favorite, but their breakfast is where it's at! I had the most delicious blueberry stuffed waffles, sweet potato hash, and a vegan breakfast sandwich. They have some really unique breakfast items. The seating inside is limited but they have a beautiful patio when the weather is nice. Prices are also reasonable.

Pros: Great weekend breakfast, Good prices

The best vegan reuben

Finally tried the vegan reuben and it was incredible! I went back later in the day to get some vegan breakfast sausages and vegan chorizo to go. Both delicious!

Go-To Sandwich Shop

We love all of their sandwiches!! Even my non-vegan family members love it. I especially love the ability to buy just vegan lunch meat from them as well. Very convenient for lunch. The smoked turkey and ham are my personal favorites. They do a great thanksgiving offering!!

Pros: Delicious, Many options, Kind

Cons: Not a lot of indoor seating

I wanted to like this place

I was excited to try this place. But it was not good and left a weird sour after taste in my mouth. Mac and cheese taste like it was made with ass daiya cheese. Their sandwich mayo was gross and probably what caused the sour taste. The “meat” was probably the best part but a little heavy on the liquid smoke flavor.

Only ate half the food.

Next time I would purchase the deli meat by itself and make something at home with it.

Cute yet unpretentious

I love the authentic vibe and concept at this little shop. It feels like an old school deli but everything is vegan and made in-house. You can grab and go packaged cheeses and deli meat already sliced and there is also a small menu of items. The shop is very small so seating is limited.

Pros: Items already packaged to go, House-made cheese and meats

Cons: Limited seating

Our new go to in Columbus!

Columbus is not lacking vegan options! Our normal go to place was closed on New Year's Day but Vida's was open so we rolled with them. With their promising menu we decided to indulge and why not have lunch along with ordering your dinner since we are out traveling home for later. We were not disappointed.

With it being New Year's day we each ordered Vida's Reuben and devoured them before thinking about trying to take a picture. My girlfriend likes to avoid rye bread but walked away impressed. IMO this was the best vegan Rueben I have tried to date!

She ordered their Philly Cheesesteak and I ran with The California as our take away dinner on the highway. Both of us agreed that both of these sandwiches were great as "cold" sandwiches and could only think about how these would of been fresh up!

As mentioned there are quite a few options in Columbus but Vida's is worth the excursion!

Pros: Great Selection, Easy Access

Cons: Not located in my hometown

Best in Columbus

The plant based meat is the best I’ve EVER had. You can taste the love and care that he puts into the food.

He was so amazing that he sold me a “Reuben kit” and I made it for thanksgiving. Vegans and non vegans LOVED it. I ate Reuben’s for breakfast for 4 days and the beauty was, since I had the fixings, I could make them one at a time.

I had the beef and cheddar Sammy today on my quest for more Reuben supplies and potato salad. I was eating the potato salad in the car without a fork on my drive home.

Do yourselves a favor; check this place out. Don’t buy the Reuben kit and cut off my supply tho - I’ll be ordering that on the regular. I’m so so happy with this place.

Turkey pesto melt was delicious, the bacon was not

I went with an omni friend to Vida's and we both got the turkey pesto melt, it was amazing. It was genuinely one of the best sandwiches I've had and my omni friend had the same opinion. Both the cheese and meat had great texture and flavor.

I got an order of the brown sugar peppered bacon and the texture and taste were very disappointing. I was unable to finish it and ended up throwing it out.

The shop itself had little seating indoors, they did have outdoor seating that was great.

Pros: Sandwich was great, Service was quick

Cons: The bacon wasn't good

Love this place!

Vidas has become a go to in our household! We love that there's so many different options for both hot and cold sandwiches, that you can order just a half if you're not so hungry, and all of their delicious sides. Each of the sandwiches and sides that we have ordered have been great and we truly feel like they've taken note of reviews since they opened and have worked to make each of their offerings even better with time.
Additionally they also have the typical butcher cheeze and protein display which is super fun to see all veganized! I have heard though some less than great reviews of their cheeze blocks that you can purchase by weight.
Wait time has been normal to fast each time we've visited.
Limited parking, but has not presented an issue to us yet.
Indoor and outdoor seating is available, but only a couple of tables are inside. Both high and low tops.
Everything is packed to go.

Pros: Quick
