Food is so good!! Literally everything I’ve had here tastes amazing and it’s so vegan friendly. Casual but cute place. I used to go to the old location in the west village but glad there’s still one here and is an affordable place.
Lovely lunch! It was so nice to have so many vegan options plus items for non-vegetarians. Several of our family members are ready to declare it their favorite restaurant in NYC! Plus the staff was so kind and accommodating.
Amazing food amazing atmosphere and the people are very nice. Very very good every time! They were kind enough to make sure i knew when one item had egg whites in it as i am vegan.
So much choice! Being vegan is tricky sometimes, this place does have some vegetarian and non-veggie options but it’s nice for those to be the fewer items on the menu.The garlic impossible meatball sub was delicious. And I’m hatching a plan to come back for pancakes!
The food here was delicious! I am not a vegetarian but my uncle has been for over 40 years. He said he had wanted to try this place for a while so we finally did. He regrets not trying it sooner. The food was so tasty. We started with the mango habanero wings which had heat and so much taste. Then he had a Boca burger and I had the chicken katsu. We both agreed my chicken katsu was the stand out dish. It was so tasty and I genuinely would never have known it wasnt real meat. It is a must try dish and my favorite. The staff is incredibly friendly and the food is delicious!
Co worker Did a pick up today. Terrible impossible burger bottom bun stale and burnt.fries were ok.Even tho my co worker invited me for lunch def. Never again! Over priced couldnt even pack forks and ketchup for the fries.Co workers salmon salad looked really good though.
Sooooo delicious, so many options on the menu. Highly recommended
Very tasty vegan/vegetarian comfort food! The Buffalo chicken sandwich is fantastic and the garlic fries are addicting! My order was on time and correct too.
Worth „salmon” Burger and desserts worth a michelin star!! Cool and amazing staff. Cheap! Perfect!
Delicious! Nice lunch offertMust see eating place to veg I vegan people
Service is great because if anything is amiss, the owners leap through time, putting things right that once went wrong, hoping each time that the next leap will be the leap home. They also have pretty much every formulation of vegetarian meat substitutes imaginable. Given that they have both the Impossible Burger and the Beyond Meat burger, somewhat disappointed that they don’t offer a “Beyond Impossible” burger consisting of one of each patty, though I suppose that might stretch the time-space continuum beyond its breaking point.
This Vegan spot has delicious food and excellent customer service.
I met a friend here for an overdue lunch catch-up on a rainy day. My thoughts are usually all over the place but when I was here I was grounded in the cozy atmosphere and simply prepared, delicious healthy food. We ordered steamed vegetable dumplings, Buddha bowl and a quesadilla. The peaceful and relaxed pace of the meal made for an equally great conversation with my friend. Put this place on your list.
This place is not vegan or vegetarian. Last 2 orders were burnt so badly - charred. Not edible. Air fries were completely blackened. Bottom of peach and blueberry pie was black. How could the chef let that leave the kitchen. Order was also wrong both times. So disappointed. Inedible food. Too bad.
If you’re a true vegan, go here! Try the delicious BBQ Jackfruit Burger complimented by the Vegan Habanero Wings (or any wings they have)! Ask for Caroline ❤️
We were looking for a vegan friendly place to eat at, and found this gem on Google. If youre looking for good comforting food, vegan or not, this is the the place youd wanna go to. First, they have TONS of vegan options! We had 2 burgers, the impossible and the Crispy chicken soy burger, both of them were great! And not only was the food delicious, our waitress was the nicest! She was so friendly, helped us decide patiently, she was just a wonderful hostess and really delighted our stay. I highly recommend this place :)
As a vegetarian, this place has AMAZING vegetarian food! Can’t wait to come back
I am not a vegan or a vegetarian, but I loved the food and the options at this spot! Highly recommend to the hesistant!
I fought off the whole plant based meat food genre but I tried the cheese steak and it was excellent. I may be changing my diet lol…
Oh my GOD. Amazing place for all vegans. I have such a hard time find Asian vegan and my goodness it’s just amazing food. Adorable spot too.
10/10 would recommend! Best vegan food I’ve ever had.
I love this place!! The food is incredibly fresh and delicious, and there are so many options from super healthy to comfort, but all still good for you and the planet — I like that they have everything from vegan alternatives to organic salmon & chicken. This is my go-to spot when I dont feel like cooking but still want to eat something healthy, yet satisfying — usually takeout is one or the other! Also the staff is so cheerful; its always a pleasant pickup experience. I only wish I had discovered this place sooner :)
Food and service were both great!Food was phenomenal. Got the garlic fries with an impossible burger and soy chicken burger.Delicious. The burgers are very filling, fries are extra on the side. A little pricy, but that’s standard for Manhattan and the burger was good enough to justify.The impossible burger was great. What really impressed me was the crispy soy chicken burger. Those can be kind of hit and miss, but this is the first time I’ve enjoyed a soy chicken burger. Would recommend.
Super good food! The new vegan Honey Garlic BBQ Wings were delicious, great texture and flavor profile. The juices and smoothies are also great, super fresh and tasty.
This is hands down the best vegetarian restaurant! A true classic. My boyfriends mom used to go here when she was a kid and now we go! The flavors are so bright and fresh. I strongly recommend checking it out - I usually don’t leave reviews but I want this restaurant to stay alive post covid because its just so good. Open since 1974 - let’s keep it going for at least 40 years more!
This restaurant is a treat! The menu is creative and delicious! Will be making regular visits!
Wow. Wow wow wow. I ordered the soy chicken sandwich and curly fries and it was the best Ive ever had. Everything arrived, hot and fresh and crispy. I had to double check that I ordered a vegetarian sandwich because it was SO GOOD. Thank you for making amazing food!
Absolutely the best healthy food you can find. Staff is so pleasant and so affordable. Highly recommend!
Excellent food and service. A great experience I wasn’t expecting just walking by and walking in!
This place is Phenomenal! Ginger chicken superb, desserts are just perfect! One of the best food quality Ive tried in New York, and they make you feel at home. This is the place I go when I want to treat myself with super healthy delicious food. Prices are really really fair!!!!
Super friendly with great vegan lunch specials AND SOUP.
I randomly chose this restaurant for lunch today and I loved everything about my experience. The Buffalo chicken burger (sandwich??) was soooo good and the lady/person who helped me was so sweet and made me feel so welcome and comfy even though I was only there for like 10 minutes. Definitely recommend!! 🥰😋
They have amazing wraps!!! I’m not a practicing vegetarian, but was still very impressed by this place. I picked up the buffalo soy chicken wrap and it came with guacamole and chips. It’s tasted delicious and was perfectly made. Highly recommend!!! Can’t wait to go back.
So so yummy, clean, filling, and fresh! The black bean burger was so fresh and delicious, even the bun is perfect. Tater tots were perfectly crispy and textured. Eggplant parm is solid. All the salads are great. Such a great healthy spot.
My wife and I really enjoyed Quantum Leap. I had the vegan pancakes w/impossible burger in English muffin and it was excellent. My wife got the vegan ginger chicken and loved it. Jenny, the owner, also gave great service. I highly recommend.
Delicious food. Great service!
My boyfriend and I loved it so much we came back two days in a row! The menu has a great variety of items to satisfy allllll of your cravings (vegan and non-vegan). We ordered the impossible burger and vegan philly cheesesteak for lunch the first day and came back the next day for brunch!! Their big breakfast was just as delicious. Both days we received impeccable service. We will definitely return soon! We will have something different every single time!! We are sooooo happy to have found this amazing restaurant!!
Honestly the sweetest staff and really amazing food
Such a good little place with food that warms your heart. The service is so kind and catering to your needs. I have come here a few times and was never disappointed.
Vegan paradise. The menu has been created with great care and each item is something to admire. We took forever to make our brunch choices and loved everything. Top marks!
Great food and service. I usually don’t like cooked salmon and the teriyaki salmon with rice and veggies was extremely good and tasty.
Nice restaurant, nice people, delicious food, nice place. Can highly recommend that place :-)
Delicious food, fast service- great for lunch
Great vegan option in the UES with a diverse menu
Wonderful! Everything is very tasty! 😋
Slightly pricy and I would give 4 Stars but this place deserve to get more popular. Great selection of various veggie burgers and you can pair it with a good beer at a very reasonable price. I will definitely come back
The vegan diva sandwich was amazing! Oh and the lemonade was great! Not your average bitter or sour lemonade :)
Horrible customer service and food was below mediocre.
Just love their food. Clean, tasty. Some restaurants we fall asleep after eating. All their food is so clean and fresh feel good all day.
Awesome ... Food .. Highly recommend... Smoothies... Off the hook.... I recommend.. Beet, pineapple and mint with a little blue berries...
I go here at least once every couple of weeks and have never had something I didnt like. Great food and extremely friendly staff. Dont pass this place up.
Amazing food. The owner is also really nice and accommodating.
Food was good until I found a hair in my food.. Disappointed.. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and an impossible burger with fries.
Great place , great food , great service...... like what more can you ask for !!! And it has that warm home feeling to this little place.

2022-04-02Love this! This cozy cafe had calming energy and a fantastic menu with vegan+soy, soy-free vegan, carnivorous, and pescatarian options. I had the garlic beyond Philly cheesesteak with fries and it was so, so good! The cheese was perfect, not too gooey, not too solid, and the bread was perfect, holding everything in a neat rectangle.The service was also very welcoming! They serve wine and beer as well.

2021-09-13What a lovely place for vegans. Went for lunch and was surprised how busy this small place was. I’ve been passing by it so many times and never got in until today. Service was very friendly and knowledge . When I asked for the gluten free bun for my vegan burger, the lady immediately updated me that the gf bun has eggs in it and offered to put it over salad. I got the aloha pineapple beet burger, grilled vegetables and lemonade. All tasted great. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes on the menu .

2022-09-05Lovely vegetarian spot close to Trader Joes. I popped in and had artichoke with remoulade. Being from new Orleans, i was drawn to this. It was great! I definitely wanted more remoulade.The chef was kind and the server attentive. It is a cozy place that I would definitely recommend.

2022-07-23I knew I was coming to New York and I couldn’t wait to try Quantum Leap! It did not disappoint. I had the vegan divas sub and it was the best vegan sub I’ve ever had. The ham and cheese, fresh basil, the sauce, it was perfection. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection. The had complimentary iced green tea which was refreshing. Our waitress very attentive and super friendly. I’m glad I made this restaurant my first stop. I will be coming back.

2022-08-14Every time we come here the food is as amazing as previous time. The staff is also extremely friendly and helpful. I think this is one of my favorite vegan spots in town. FYI this is not the best spot for a date night, but a place for really tasty and high quality vegan food

2022-06-04I came to Quantum Leap nearly two years ago right before the beginning of the pandemic and it was so memorial that I came back during a short visit to nyc. Quantum leap feels like a hidden gem with their cozy quiet space and extensive vegan menu. We felt very well taken care of and the food was spectacular. Highly recommend 💖
