I thought the breakfast sandwich was great, they definitely use fresh ingredients. The wife got an avocado toast and the egg was a bit undercooked, over easy is ok but the white wasn’t cooked and when broken it leaked a clearish liquid. They do have an assortment of gluten free baked goods but if you have celiac please note they are cross contaminated which they lady behind the counter told us.
I'm a foody and haven't eaten meat in over 40 years.
The steak special--mmmmm. I hope it becomes part of the regular menu. Please! I think they should take it to Shark Tank! :D Scrumptious. They nailed the texture, taste, and preparation. What a treat for any diner, but especially a vegetarian/vegan!!! My carnivore boyfriend said it's indistinguishable from actual steak.
Best vegetarian dumplings ever in the wonton soup: full of vibrantly delicious ingredients, fresh, and great firm wrapper. I loved the broth too. I hated to part with one of the wontons, but I had to give my boyfriend the pleasure of eating one.
And the desserts are incredibly moist and high-quality. I can barely eat typical American desserts b/c of the oversweet mix of poor ingredients. I savor every bite of every dessert at Peacefood. There is real food in the desserts, like what seem like just enough chopped plumped raisins as a sweetener in the gluten-free, vegan dark chocolate loaf.
I also appreciate the ambience at Peacefood. It's a place to unwind and enjoy yourself and your food.
This cafe is great. It has clearly labeled vegan and gluten free items. We got the Not Your Every Day Nachos and the Vegan Poke Bowl. Both were yummy and the house made nacho cheese was especially good. They also had house nut milk for their Chai Latte.
I had to get the lemon poppy seed muffin on the way out which was one of the most moist gluten free baked goods I have had.
You order at the counter and they give you a number to bring to your table so you can choose where to sit. They have free Wi-Fi if you want to bring your laptop and work.
The bathrooms are clean which is always a plus. There's one single on the first floor as well as gender neutral stalls in the basement.
I came here with my friend and she ordered the regular burger with a gluten free bun and I ordered the vegan burger. However, they had mixed up the order and brought us out one vegan burger with a gluten free bun and one regular burger. Luckily we figured this out before either of us had eaten a burger that would make us sick, but definitely be careful if you come here with allergies or restrictions.
Spot on - we went there for a holiday lunch and tried both a Latke egg special and the chicken shawarma. The flavors were well balanced and the staff was very knowledgeable with my girlfriend’s food allergies. They have good gluten free options for appetizers, entrees and desserts. The fresh mint tea was very refreshing and paired well with the flavorful dishes.

My friend was in the mood for Italian food, so I went hunting for someplace nearby w lots if veggies and plenty if things I could eat (no dairy or gluten). We had a fantastic meal, and have been talking about it for days since. Will def be back w friends and family soon.
Simple and delicious! Huge chunks of lobster. My wife had the regular lobster roll on a gluten free bun. I had a truffle lobster roll on a regular roll. We both loved our food.
The poppy seed cole slaw was fresh and refreshing.
This is not a fancy place, but who cares when the food is this good?
This was THE spot my adult son wanted to visit on his birthday trip to NYC with me and his sister. He had seen the Netflix documentary on Blue Hill and it totally inspired him. He planted it in his mind that he wanted to visit Dan Barber's restaurant one day. When I told him I wanted to take him to NYC for his birthday, the first thing he asked to do was to visit here.
He raved about the restaurant all the way to NYC. He even had us watch the documentary so we could understand why he was so excited about it. Before we came, we all had super high expectations. I was kind of worried that our expectations were too high.
As the first dish was served and we bit into the raw veggies, we didn't know exactly what we were to expect - after all, how different could a radish be? But we thoroughly enjoyed each bite. When it came to the turnip, we hesitated - raw turnip? After we took a bite, we looked at each other and almost at the same time said: "That's a turnip?!" It was incredible - sweet - juicy - perfect. We ate everything - greens and all - it's that good and that fresh.
With each dish that was served, we found ourselves transported to a time and place where food was alive - where simple foods tasted incredible all on their own, and where food could be enjoyed without punishing you later.
When we made our reservations, I indicated that my daughter and I were gluten-free and dairy-free. We always avoid those because we don't do well with the glyphosate found in most wheat products (from Round-up being used on the crops) and the hormones and antibiotics pumped into dairy cows that make their way into the milk.
After we watched the documentary, we decided to drop the restrictions. My daughter was almost in tears as she bit into bread and butter that was so incredibly delicious that she was wishing she could find a way to have it every day. We all enjoyed the dairy, bread, and every part of each course. And, hours later, we didn't have to "pay the price". The price had been paid ahead of time by sourcing ingredients that both taste delicious and deliver proper nutrition to the body without any harmful additions. We couldn't have been happier.
We enjoyed our meal so much that we decided to change our plans and go back for the Sunday lunch 2 days later. That was an equally wonderful experience.
And, what meal out is complete without incredible serving staff! The staff here are wonderful and went out of their way to welcome us and help us celebrate my son's birthday in the perfect way.
Thank you to everyone at Blue Hill Restaurant. And thank you to Dan Barber for your commitment to a vision. We see it with you.
Our only regret is not being able to meet the chefs who created such fantastic food. Your talents were greatly enjoyed by us three.
I got a burger without bread because I am gluten intolerant. I asked for it well cooked as it was a hamburger (you shouldn't eat hamburgers that are not completely cooked) and it was very dry, as well as small
I only ate this and spent around $40 with tip
I know they also have gluten-free pizza (I haven't tried it)
The pão de queijo is exceptional and alone makes this coffee shop one of the best in New York. The selection of baked goods is impressive, and they sometimes offer non-alcoholic spirits. The food menu is unique and delicious. It would be great if they added an artisanal gluten-free bread option for their sandwiches. Overall, Ocafe is highly recommended.
Wonderful place… I get breakfast here almost daily. I am gluten and dairy free and they understand cross contamination and are very helpful, accommodating and kind.
Delicious Mediterranean food, quick, friendly service, decent prices for the area, convenient location to union square. Take out, pick-up, order at counter/sit-down options. Appreciable vegan, plant-based and vegetarian, and gluten free options. Found this place as a compromise to get a quick bite for me (vegan) and non-vegan friend. Atmosphere filled with middle-eastern music - in the mood to dance but not loud enough to drown out ability to have an intimate conversation.
Loved the Kruveet pan
