Lovely new addition to JC Downtown and I was so excited to finally have the opportunity to finally try it. Upon walking in, what a beautiful job they have done with the place. Light, airy and grand at the same time, extremely cleanly as well. The staff was so polite and and extremely welcoming. I came for a late lunch and quickly ordered a light Crustini Trio and Watermelon refresher. Something so simple blew my mind purely on the basis of fresh ingredients and care. So refreshing and delicious, they have definitely made a regular out of me.

Gaia & Loki is one of my favorite restaurants in JC. Must visit if you are in JC. In my opinion, they serve the best Vegan in the NJ - NY area. The menu has a diverse range of vegan dishes, covering cuisines from many parts of the world. The food is aesthetically beautiful as well as very appetizing. It's a delight to see how much effort they have put in curating the menu and creating the dishes, truly showing their passion for Vegan. It truly reflects in the food which is always delicious and hits the right spot. The best part is that ingredients used in dishes are healthy and fresh which I found lacking in many other Vegan places. And some days if you are lucky, you get a complimentary Hibiscus tea 🌺. The interiors are chic and give the place a good positive vibe. The staff is friendly and service is good too. It's a nice place to come and dine with friends, family or even alone. Plus It's a BYOB. Vegan or not, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a whole and hearty meal which will leave you happy at the end of the day. You would want to come again and again!

Cute new vegan place! We came on opening day :) The space looks very stylish and the staff were very nice and accommodating to my 5 year old and me. We didn't have a lot of time so we tried the fried cauliflower and the Lumpia (meaty type of spring roll) and we ordered the eggplant schnitzel to go. My kid got fries and apple juice. They also gave us a sample of the watermelon refresher. Everything was tasty and fresh. We can't wait to visit again and try more of the menu!

First time eating at a vegan restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was impeccable and the owner and staff were not only friendly, but personable. My family and Friends really enjoyed our experience to say the least. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Vegans & non vegans if your looking to get a good buz with a taste of greatness in your clean dish I recommend gai & Loki! Yea I said buz there byob so grab a bottle of your finest wine or choice of beverage and enjoy it with some lumpia’s. Now that salad your going to have to try it yourself it’s to good to talk about

I really wanted to like this place. But honestly, let’s give them another month or two to figure out their value proposition/vibe. Because right now it feels like an ok place to grab a sandwich for lunch…and that’s it…I’d love to see some more innovative menu items and a liquor license and, once those things are in place, updated opening hours.

We went here to enjoy a nice weekend brunch. The ambience is good but the table which we were seated at was right next to the washroom which is not a pleasant experience while having food. We ordered tacos, primavera pasta and waffles. I personally didn’t enjoy the tacos as they were filled with rice and tasted more like burritos than tacos. Everything else was delicious and portion sizes are good. Its a little bit on an expensive side but worth visiting at least once.servers are sweet and accommodating too.

Mouthwatering, food heaven!! Just in the short year we have lived in Jersey City, we have been to Gaia Loki dozens of times. Some of our favorites are the mushroom alfredo pasta, the Loki Burger, the fried chicken burger, the bacon onion cheese burger, the basil pesto pasta, and the Mac and cheese. The chocolate peanut butter cheese cake is also rich and delicious! Thank you Gaia Loki for amazing experience after amazing experience.

Best experience!! I’ve been wanting to come here for brunch ( I kept hearing about it ) I finally got to eat there and let me tell you.. AMAZING !!! The food was delicious & our server James was so sweet ! I recommend the breakfast sandwich and the French toast ! Get the tea too! Definitely coming back !

Pluses and Minuses. Minuses to start. More than an hour wait for food. No adjustment to the bill. Didn't even refresh our coffee. Server forgot to put in our order. Pluses. Food was very good. All vegan. French toast was perfect. Textures were fabulous. Fresh fruits. Delicious crispy croissant. Kicker was a fresh from the oven batch of corn muffins. I'd give it another shot but I was generally disappointed by the wait and the service.

First the food is delicious, I’ve been here several times now and everything is delightful, including the staff especially the owners who are vegan for the animals. The atmosphere is a great date space you can bring your own alcohol if you’d like to drink. Highly recommend for both vegans and non.

Gaia and Loki is a great addition Jersey City. I am non vegan and absolutely loved the plant based Gyro and Eggplant Parm. My food was served with a fruit flavored infused water that was really the cherry on top. The vibe was great! the server was very pleasant. I am looking forward to stopping in again and recommend this place for anyone who wants to eat good food, vegans and non vegans alike!

We found this place on google maps and it turned out to be the most Fabulous place for not only vegan food but any food I’ve ever had. The owner/ chef was more than accommodating!! This is a 100% Vegan restaurant and we would love to have it in western NY. I’m sure vegan or non vegan patrons would LOVE it here!!!

Food was great. We shared the Filipino Lumpia and I had The Gyro for my main course. Great vegan food. This is not a quick experience if that's what you're looking for but the food is great.

Very tasteful vegan food, some of the best in the NY/NJ metropolitan area. Many gluten-free options and a vast variety of options are on the menu. Friendly staff that explains details and accommodated us with extra sauces for the delicious sweet potato fries. Also great were the potato leek soup, vegan burger and mushroom pasta. The only thing was the orange juice tasted like bottled one and not fresh. The rose/fennel tea was superb and a highlight accompanying the many food highlights. Also a neatly designed interior of the restaurant. Can’t wait to be back for brunch and more!

Good vegan spot in Jersey City. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The interiors are very chic and modern. The staff is very nice and service is prompt. The burger was really good but it was extremely difficult/messy to eat, and I wouldn’t recommend it.

The owner was truly amazing. When we walked in, we were truly hungry. He offered us a dish called "chips and chilly"(I hope I got this correct). It turned out to be the best dish we didn't order. :) The pesto pasta is delicious and has enough veggies (which I like). All the guests were also served with a small mango welcome slush which was refreshing too. Kudos to the owners!!

So good. One of my favorite eggplant Parms - the sauce is hearty and the texture is just right. The Loki burger was also delish. I recommend the salads as well - very fresh and light to balance out the meal. The staff is very attentive and amiable. Great place (try it even if you aren’t vegan like me!)

The food was great! They are BYOB. Loved the portobello mushroom gyro. The mushroom Alfredo was so good, and I liked that it was creamy and hearty but without any dairy. Tea and chocolate cake for dessert was really nice.

We love Gaia & Loki! We live locally and stopped in for lunch after seeing that they are vegan. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Everyone was attentive and thoughtful about our dietary restrictions. One of the best gluten free pasta dishes I’ve had! Everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite spots in NJ & they are vegan. Their food is flavorful and made with love. Their staff is super attentive and makes you feel at home, even on solo adventures. The neighborhood is fun, great things to do near by. Favorite meal is the mushroom gyro but everything on the menu is great, especially their Brunch menu on Sundays (French Toast me please!).

First of all, the decor! Very chic. The fries.. well, just look at them. I’m told it’s the best vegan burger around (by 2 people). The specialty brunch drinks were 👌. Waiter recommended adding champagne from the liquor store across the street. Lovely idea. 🥂 And the Gaia bowl was good. Kale was perfectly cooked. 🥬. I only wish it had a little more seasoning and that the breakfast potatoes were smaller and more caramelized and crispy. Great vibe tho. They have outdoor seating, as well. Good service too.

Coming from someone who is not Vegan, I can say that I love this place and their food! The staff is amazing and the food is delicious! The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly! Great place.

Staff were extremely friendly and tentative to our diet needs. The food was DELICIOUS, best vegetarian food I’ve had in a while. BYOB also. I will be coming back again!

The pasta is really tasty but the portion size is so small. It’s mostly tomato and pepper you get, which is a shame since the sauce is so flavorful but where are the noodles... The burger on the other hand was big, also tasty. Accommodating and hospitable waitress.

TLDR: In our top 5 best vegan brunch places in 8 different countries and 9 states. Huge portions, reasonably priced for the NYC area, and amazing flavors! Atmosphere: cute, with thoughtful decorations. Clean and well maintained. While many vegan restaurants seem to be haphazardly decorated, Gaia and Loki subverts the expectations in all the good ways. Service: Sunday brunch is BUSY. Get a reservation. Without one, we waited 10 min to sit at the bar, but the staff was kind and attentive even though the place was full to the brim. Our server Riley is one of the best servers we have had since after COVID worldwide and hands down the best server we have had in the typically rude NYC/Jersey area. Riley deserved every cent of his tip, and he should be a model for all servers to be trained. Honestly, we ate at Eleven Madison Park two nights ago, and Riley was better than our $1000 staff over there. Food: the shining star. The comfort food is not greasy. Even the onion rings (yes, the ever illusive vegan onion rings) did not leave grease stains on my fingers. Their "eggs, bacon, and sausage" were all high-quality faux meats and were not your typical grocery store Gardien packets. The wife had the chicken and waffles, which was surprisingly amazing considering most of the vegan chicken and waffles down in the South where we come from can't compete. The breakfast potatoes had a TON of flavor and were not deep fried, dry, or greasy but were pan seared with onions and peppers that elevated the typically simple side. I had the bacon and egg croissant, which was flavorful, filling, and flaky. The hot sauce they brought out was ACTUALLY spicy! So many vegan restaurants are pumpkin-spice-valley-girl-whitewashed to the point where there is nothing spicy. The sauce had a great kick. I'm not sure if it was homemade or at least local, but it was great! We are 100% going to come back again. And the kitchen cares about presentation. Food is nicely plated and not just thrown together. Owner/operator of this fine establishment, please know this was better than our $1000 meal at Eleven Park Madison. Our only recommendation would be to lower your price by like $2-3 and then give half the food! Why? I want to see you thrivd in the long term, and no one needs TWO fat waffles, fried chicken, and a side. You could make a tad less per plate, but cut ingredient costs and increase the number of people coming to the restaurant. I know us fatty Americans like our big portions, but you're too generous. But maybe this #FloridaMan is wrong, and the Jersey locals need a single meal to feed a small country :D All jokes aside, amazing all the way around, and we are excited to come back and eat our way through the rest of the menu!

Incredibly, delicious. A new vegan spot with a great vibe. The food was incredibly and the staff was even better. Definitely will come back, you should definitely come and try it out. 👍🏽

I dropped by for a quick lunch on a Friday in the middle of a busy work day. The food was tasty. Ambience was welcoming and relaxing. Lunch portion was good. Prices reasonable. Overall a good experience

So good! Highly recommend for vegans and vegetarians. Really delicious food, friendly staff, and great ambience :) Also BYOB!

Gaia & Loki is a vegan haven in Jersey City that offers a delicious and personal dining experience. With its mouthwatering plant-based dishes, friendly and attentive service, and unique BYOB policy, it stands out as a top choice for vegans and non-vegans alike. If you're seeking a place to enjoy wholesome vegan cuisine and relish a warm and inviting ambiance, Gaia & Loki should be at the top of your list. My visit was a true pleasure, and I look forward to returning to explore more of their delectable offerings in the future.

Gaia and Loki is a great vegan restaurant in Downtown Jersey City. The decor is really nice and the food is great. This was myfirst visit but I look forward to coming back to eat more.

New spot, vegan food, restaurant not cafe. Come sit down and have a great bite not a good bite. The food was delicious 🤤 and I’m not even vegan. The customer service was on point. We celebrated my moms birthday and Father’s Day and they accommodated so easily. Definitely will come back, you should definitely try it if your considering

One of my favorite vegan restaurants to date. The ambiance of this restaurant is cute and cozy. The staff and service are also good. We ordered Filipino Lumpia, The Gyro, Loki Tacos, and Pesto Pasta. For the side, we had onion rings and french fries.  All the items were very delicious. Though the price is on the higher side and the serving quantity is small, it is still worth visiting at least once. I would go back here and recommend it to my friends and family.

Very pleased with the experience overall! Decor is super chic, it would be a cool place to hang at a bar with a cocktail. The staff was super friendly. Most importantly, food was delicious. I’m a meat/dairy eater so eating vegan is not a requirement so it surprised me how much I loved the “burger”. It was a “healthy” portion and was full of flavor. The fries were amazing! My friends salad was fresh & tasty. I’ll def be back to try other items.

Mindblowingly delicious! We ordered the peach cobbler pancakes, avocado toast, and the tofu scramble for brunch today. Everything was unbelievably good. We also tried their hibiscus tea which was very fresh and flavorful! We have been to Gaia & Loki tons of times by now and always highly recommend them to our friends.

So Good! I’ve been waiting for this spot to open. It’s byob, very cute atmosphere but also really yummy food. I got the eggplant schnitzel and my friend the plant based gyros. I thought the portions were good and our bill was under $40 for two meals plus we bought wine there with us. Owners were also there too,very friendly and attentive.

This place is ridiculously good. Like the best food I have ever had, Vegan or otherwise. I want to take everyone I know here so they can also enjoy how delightful everything is. The owner was so nice and the chef was also a sweetheart. Every single bite was heavenly and we tried at least 5-6 things from the menu. The onion rings were straight fire 🔥 and I don’t even normally like onion rings. The bacon egg and cheese tasted so real it was unnerving. The pancakes and waffles were so good! The presentation was gorgeous and I literally can’t wait to come back and eat here all the time now!!!
