    I love mood food but their staff lately has been extremely rude and unprofessional. When I asked for a manager, one of their staff, Kathy, lied and told me that they were and then hung up on me twice. I've been going here for 10 years (since it was tast) and even though I said don't worry "I'll still be a customer" I don't think I will. My order was also missing some things. I actually got a delivery order but because she was being so rude and hung up I went to pick it up. She was being really embarrassing on behalf of mood food in front of customers. I let it get to me for a second and said "you know what you won't last long here" as I walked out of the door (not proud of that but I was so annoyed by it all) and then she literally made a death threat to me and said you won't last long either. Yeah..... avoid this place people

    The food is OK, decently healthy and fresh has that small town cafe vibe. The coffee is abysmal but I don't expect miracles as it isn't a coffee shop. My low rating is mostly because they have a massive organizational problem. There are always a ton of employees behind the counter yet when I come in to order or pick up I'm usually ignored for a good 5 minutes unless I actively speak up to get someone's attention. I often wonder if I've turned into a ghost as employees don't seem to be aware of my existence standing at the register. I understand maybe they are always slammed fulfilling online orders, but maybe they should dedicate someone to taking orders and giving pickup orders to customers in the store. At least an acknowledgment like "be right with you" would be nice. I don't think I'd go here if I had other options but I work in the same building and there's not much around.

    This place was SO GOOD when it first opened (Tasteatery). I do not know what happened but it all went downhill; it gets worse and worse every year. The people who work there literally do not know the menu at all. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and I asked about the baked good and I asked what was gluten and dairy free and the woman was trying to tell me the FLOUR based scone was gluten free. I got attitude for it as well. Devastating. This place is not the same as it used to be, it's quite sad.

    Sadly, I can only give them one star for service and two stars for atmosphere because they charge extra if you ask for more dressing. I have consistently not had good service here. But I do have to say that their food is good. I always get the salad and their vegan Caesar dressing is a healthy option. I recommend the food here but taking out might be the best option!

    Very bad service, and I do not blame the workers who probably make very low wages. For me the last straw was the lack of a printed menu. I was told by the workers the manager wants to go paperless. Which is a terrible trend by restaurants. My experience is that restaurants following this trend will make available a printed menu for clients upon request. So, they want to force me to navigate their menu on my small mobile screen for the privilege of bringing my business to them. Prices are trending very high also. By the way, on my last visit I walked out without buying what I wanted.. The display didn't show a recognized name for my favorite dish. The guy taking the order did not understand what I was trying to order. They blamed the owner for wanting to go paperless.

    1000% recommend mood food. Since we have been trying to eat healthier me and my husband have been here atleast once a week. The food is delicious! It is a bit pricey but when your getting good quality of food you don't mind paying for it! The coconut carrot muffins are the bomb!💣

    Thrilled with this little place, not too crowded when we went and it has lots of options. All burgers can be substituted for turkey or beyond meat. There are also vegan-specific food options. The burgers came with a delicious cold risotto side salad and 3 amazing roasted potato wedges. Just make sure to eat them hot so they stay crisp and juicy! It came out to about $15 per meal - not expensive at all compared to a restaurant, and it's WAY better than fast food! I was totally stuffed, and I can't wait to try the smoothies next time!!

    I had a quick breakfast meeting here this week and the staff was extremely nice. They all seemed to be passionate about serving and my oatmeal was nice & hot— made just the way I love it.

    I've been coming to Mood Food for several years. Their food is high quality, healthy, and always tasty. I am partial to the paninis. I found a quinoa bowl quite good. The smoothies always quench my thirst.

    I have always loved this place for their amazing and healthier options that come prepared with fresh ingredients. However, their consistency has dropped off. Don’t know if there was a change in management. Several times I’ve come in for lunch at around 1pm and they had run out of steak, chicken, and burgers. How can you run out during a lunch rush when you’re open until 8pm?!! And the worst part is they don’t inform you until AFTER you’ve paid. Poor communication between the kitchen and person taking your order. Disappointed too many times. No apologies or make-good customer service one will expect and for that reason I will not be back.

    Horrible place!!!! First we’ve made an order for burger, 10 min later waiter show up and said that they’ve run out of meet burgers, we’ve have no choice to replace beef burger with whatever is available in stock. But this is not only the issue: very loud music, I don’t get it is this is a place to eat or dance????!!!!! We’ve asked politely to lower the music, associate said” sure” guess what? I am assuming that these guys love loud music and don’t care about the customers. That was our first time and last time going to this place.

    They were gonna make us pay twice and blamed it on the system claiming it wasn’t their fault. They wouldn’t make the sandwich until she payed twice. STOP BLAMING IT ON THE SYSTEM. We got no apology too which was super messed up. THE EMPLOYEES WERE NASTY AND RUDE. So unprofessional, never going their again, so unbelievable.

    I really love their food, it's very good fresh, healthy and wholesome has enough variety for a resturaunt. But they are kind of inconsistent in portion wise food. And the employees there are not that friendly, they are kind of cringey, and also the MOOD they give gives a bad mood on the food.even though the food is really good I defintely sometimes do. I really dont want to go, because of their judgmental attitudes, or bad mood vibe they give off because I don't have time for that. They lack to understand a business is defintely about a relationship with the customers and treating them well and if they continue to see it as strictly professional to the employees they are defintely losing loyalty and connection and losing more profit from what they can harness.

    Always a fave. Quality sourced ingredients and delicious food.

  • 4/5 Marcus D. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been here twice for lunch and the Crazy ChickWich is AMAZZZZZZZZZING. Both times were incredibly delicious, so good that I don’t wanna try any other menu items, although they have a big selection to choose from. Smoothies are also good, made fresh to order so you can’t go wrong there as well. Recommend if in Fort Lee area.

  • 4/5 Nicole M. 2 years ago on Google
    Went during lunch hours to get smoothies and iced coffee with some friends, we ordered and waited. Inside wasn't too busy, a ton of pickup orders, it was almost 30 minutes until they finished our order. I understand when they have a lot of pickup orders it's stressful, but taking care of the in person customers is important too. They only started our order after we asked about how long is left until they make it. But I know many of my friends like their food and coffee.

  • 4/5 JUNG HOON C. 2 years ago on Google
    Their pecan bar is the best! Never turned me down. Coffee tastes great too! Use rear parking lot for free instead of metered street parking.

  • 4/5 Vivian H. 2 years ago on Google
    First time coming here although I've driven by everyday for years. They are super busy, had to switch my stay-in order to to go...tho my daughter got her wrap 10min before me. Food was quality and delicious.

  • 5/5 Thepiggyrules 3 years ago on Google
    This place is definitely a go to for healthy food that is mouth watering delicious. The owners are wonderful, down to earth people who make you feel right at home. The picture is of their Hot and Dirty Bowl. Absolutely delicious.

  • 4/5 Beth E. 1 year ago on Google
    Their food is very fresh. Their storefront is very clean. This time, since I was doing my morning walk, I didn't eat as much. I just bought freshly made zucchini bread and a hot chocolate with almond milk. The zucchini bread was moist and delicious. The hot chocolate was creamy and not too chocolatey. The only thing I did not like was the fact that a medium hot chocolate was $5. It is hot chocolate, seriously. If you are looking for healthy food, this is a great place. They have protein bowls, salads, healthy smoothies and more. I've eaten their protein bowls before and they're very good. If you want to sit and eat, they have a nice size dining area and on a nice day you can sit at tables on the sidewalk.

    I've been coming to Mood Food for a few years now, and am blown away by the quality of the food and the exceptional service! They offer a wide variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, along with a great selection of beverages, including smoothies, fresh juices, and healing tonics and teas. What really stood out to me, though, was the exceptional service provided by the staff. They were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about their work. They worked hard to ensure that every customer was satisfied with their food and drinks, and their efforts did not go unnoticed. Overall, I highly recommend MoodFood to anyone looking for delicious, healthy food and great service. The combination of a great menu and excellent staff truly make this place stand out.

  • 5/5 Evelin C. 1 year ago on Google
    In the short time since I found Moodfood, I've become obsessed. The first time we went in, I pulled them off of Google maps cause it was the best healthy option close to where we were going. I tried ordering ahead but didn't have luck after being left on hold. Don't be like me. Check the apps and order through there. You won't have a chance over the phone because the place is crazy busy. I learned that the minute we walked in. I love that we can see them make the food. The place is clean, and even though service can take a while, their servers are happy and efficient. Order, pay, then have a seat, and they'll find you. Remember to tip! The Soothing Ginger Tea is my favorite drink, but I also recommend the Golden Mylk or a Comforter Latte. The sandwiches we have tried have all been fantastic. - Ranking - 1. The Turkey & Brie (turkey, brie, tomato, greens, and avocado with honey mustard). 2. Wannabe Virgin (hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, red onions, and cucumber with oil & vinegar). 3. Big Cheesy (Steak, bell peppers, mushrooms, cheesy sauce). The Turkey Chili is yummy and popular, just like all their soups. We have yet to try them because they are sold out by the time we reach. Their menu has something for everyone so take your time. Next time we go, I will get a bowl to switch it up. Cause who wouldn't want to eat a Hot & Dirty Bowl? I know I would. The names are silly, and I like that. If you love bacon and want to be bad, get the Sticky Fingers (organic bagel, cream cheese, bacon, raw honey), and you'll see what Drake means by "You know how sticky it gets" ;D. Don't you dare ask them to make the bacon crispy cause they already know! Grab plenty of napkins. You're going to need them. Now, if stuffing your face on the spot doesn't leave room for a soft and sweet treat, do like me and take a GF Coconut Carrot Muffin or Coconut Bar to go. You're welcome!

  • 5/5 Greg B. 8 months ago on Google
    My go-to health place in the area. Just delicious food, super friendly and knowledgeable service. Lots of vegeterian options and everything I tried so far tasted great!

  • 3/5 Darin G. 9 months ago on Google
    You're not getting much value from this business: $17 for an hombre bowl with protein. The black beans are flash-rehydrated, the rice is under-cooked, the portion sizes are VERY small. The food fills about half the serving bowl.

  • 1/5 Lindsey U. 6 months ago on Google
    This is a place i come to weekly, often and with the past experience I can’t justify coming back here… I’m highly allergic to dairy, I let them know this when I ordered the hambre bowl, I asked for it to be served with no cheese as it comes with cheddar… I received the bowl with cheese and kindly re-emphasized that I’m allergic and cannot have cheese. They apologized and quickly replaced my bowl. But again, the bowl was given back to me with majority of the cheese removed. I still had so much cheddar cheese throughout the bowl so I showed the worker and he was apologetic and said he would tell the chef to change it. So that is 3 times of being served a dish with cheese in it after being notified of an allergy. I wish places especially ones that focus around being health friendly would take allergies serious. Sadly I will not be returning.

  • 5/5 Bruh B. 7 months ago on Google
    Balsamic Salad With Skirt Steak is THE BEST!!! Would definitely come back for it. Can’t wait to try the other foods on the Menu! Especially the smoothie

  • 5/5 Peter L. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious, healthy, fresh food. The menu is a little overwhelming if you don’t know what you really want - there are lots of choices and all different little menus available. Staff is super nice and attentive, the food is always consistent and very good, I have been going here weekly for years and haven’t had a bad trip. Good coffee too.

  • 5/5 Timothy B. 3 years ago on Google
    Best food truck I think I've ever gone to. They actually catered my wedding in October of 2018 with a number of different mouth watering tacos. We had an additional full menu from another catering company but all our guests could talk about were the tacos from Good Mood truck. We heard they were nearby and had to stop by, this time getting a couple of burgers and some truffle fries. Besides the food being absolutely amazing, Dean (owner and chef) actually remembered my wife and I from a wedding they catered a year and a half ago. Highest recommendations for this truck, whether you need a delicious meal for yourself or catering for an event.

    (Translated by Google) We went to eat in late February 2020, ate a healthy breakfast of Starry Egg, Quinoa, Broccoli, Carrot, and Asparagus. The menu is understandable and can be personalized if you wish. In addition to figures and staff who serve well. Although we do not leave full, if we leave satisfied to have eaten healthy. (Original) Fuimos a comer a finales de febrero de 2020, comimos un desayuno saludable de Huevo estrellado, quinoa, brócoli, zanahoria y espárragos. El menú es entendible y se puede personalizar si así lo desean. Además de figuras y el personal que atienden bien. Aunque no salimos llenos, si salimos satisfechos de haber comido saludablemente.

  • 1/5 joan l. 4 years ago on Google
    I’ve been getting disappointed every time I go so I just stopped going. Every time I want to order something, the girl always says they don’t have it. One time, I tried ordering a smoothie and they said they couldn’t make this particular one because they didn’t have bananas left... and then 5 minutes later after i ordered a different drink, an employee came out the back with 3 boxes of bananas. What is that?!?! Another time, they didn’t add salmon to a meal we ordered & didn’t offer to make it because it was too late. Not going back here again.

  • 4/5 Michael L. 4 years ago on Google
    Not a bad spot to get many vegetarian options, good juices selection. But what I don't like is a very hectic, low quality Brooklyn corner bodega feel. But 4 stars anyhow for the variety.
