    The food was AMAZING! We will be back to try some more of their food options. We got the Sausage Coney with Cincinnati Chili and it was excellent. The dining area was quite small, only 2 tables which thankfully 1 was open as we did drive quite a ways to go there on this rainy Saturday.

    AVOID the Mac n’ Cheese. I pray one day vegan Mac N cheese will be great today is not the day. It tasted like flavorless, season-less, watered down Mac n cheese. It was very disappointing. 😢 I do recommend the beyond with cheese burger! The sauces really complimented the vegan beyond burger. It was so tasty. The ck with veggies and udon was okay. They ck and veggies was yummy! But the udon itself did not have enough sauce. I just needed more sauce to be great. Do get the spring rolls! Crunchy and yummy, and the sauce goes well with it.

    Another update, because every few months I get amnesia and order here again. The food quality is officially gone. The mac remains flavorless, and the American Panini is just coleslaw (made from packaged cabbage and mayo and that’s it) and jarred pickles with a single, thin, tasteless layer of deli slices. And don’t add chips, or you’ll end up with (non-organic, non-GMO) Baked Layes. Absolutely a waste of $12 to get $3 of food thoughtlessly prepared. Please either scale your business model to match your capacity or your prices to match your quality. This order was the last straw. This place has finally outlived itself. Update: the service has gotten significantly worse over the years. I just waited 20 minutes in line to pick up an already completed order. Most of that time involved none of the staff even acknowledging that people were standing at the counter. But they allow DoorDashers to cut the line while everyone else waits and waits. They need at least one more person working and a pickup counter. And there’s no where to eat anymore. There are about 6 seats in the front, but good luck getting one. The food is okay, but not as good as it used to be. I’m eating the mac and cheese, which used to be my favorite vegan mac anywhere, and it tastes like unsalted pasta water with barely a hint of cheese flavor. This place will always hold a special place in my heart, but they’re quickly aging themselves out of the market. After this experience I’m not sure I’ll be back. I love this place. It's got the old school vegan vibe, and turns out delicious fresh food. There's a great mix of really healthy food and junk food (they're even serving Impossible burgers!). The place is always full of non-vegans raving about the food, and a meat eater will definitely find something to enjoy here despite the lack of actual meat. Service can run a little slow, but not bad, although they do get packed around lunch and dinner. It's comfortable to eat in, or you can order at the register or by phone for takeout.

    We love the loving hut! My favorite things are the cheesecake and the crispy rolls. We also like the chick'n wrap and the crispy burger a lot. The sloppy joe and 3-way are good too. My husband also liked the drumstick and I like the macaroni. Good customer service and good prices.

    Insanely good vegan food! Cheeseburger really impressed me, BBQ drumsticks we're very tasty, Pho was excellent and the CK Panini was substantial in size and flavor. Complimentary hot tea is a great touch, very reasonable price for a hugely satisfying meal! Oh and the strawberry cheesecake is a MUST

    I absolutely adore this vegan restaurant! The food is not only delicious but also a testament to the love and care that goes into every dish. The sweet lady who owns the place adds a special charm to the experience. Her passion for vegan cuisine truly shines through. The menu is diverse, and each item is a delightful journey for the taste buds. The warm and welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like a home away from home. Kudos to the owner for creating such a fantastic space. I highly recommend this gem to all vegans and non-vegans alike!

    Recently had my first experience with this establishment. I do not live close-approximately 40-45 minutes away. I was in the area and decided to fit in several things in there in my day. I ordered ahead for pick up. Very glad I did. When I arrived at my pick up time I waited at least 10 minutes to get to the register. The customer ordering took a lot of time asking questions. Then everything seemed to stop as the cashier was very busy helping in the kitchen area. I don't think my food was even cooked yet at my pick up time. I finally walked out almost 15 minutes after my original pick up time. In saying all that... I must say that the cashier was extremely friendly and apologetic. She explained that they have several "rush" times, and I hit one of them. Sort of understandable. But the timeliness of my order pick up is still a reason I did not give 5 stars overall. I will definitely give a HUGE 5 star rating to the food! It is hard to find a 100% vegan establishment. This did not disappoint as far as the quality and taste of the food. I tried the spring rolls-spot on with the dipping sauce. The dumplings were a delightful mix of seared, chewy outside and flavorful inside. Other reviews mentioned you would either love the mac n cheese or not. I am a LOVER for sure. Great texture and wonderfully creamy. I had the chili cheese brat as my entree. WOW!!! This place nailed it with the Cincinnati chili. I would give this way more than 5 star if I could. I ordered chocolate cake, carrot cake and a cookie. I have not tried those as of this review but will revisit. So aside from the timing issue I will definitely be back when in the area. I'll just be mindful of the possible wait time. Highly recommend.

    Loving Hut is an all vegan inspired take-away resturaunt. Very, very limited seating. It offers a vast menu, bottled non-alcoholic drinks; such as sparkling juices, kids box juices, kambuchas, ginger beer and more. Desserts are sliced chocolate cake or Cheesecake. The resturaunt cannot accommodate large groups to sit. On busy days..you will wait up to an 30 minutes or more if order inside. So, I advise to fall ahead and order for take out. The servers are friendly, there is no wait staff or table service. The decor is dated, but for a carry- out resturaunt it, fits its vibe. It sits in a building shared with a pet store and gas started across the street. Parking is behind the building. Kid-friendly only if you're wait is not long. They do have a kid menu.

    My friend suffers from a tick-borne illness that limits what he can eat. Loving Hut was a great option for him and although I eat everything, the food was yummy! I had the black rice burger and my buddy had the impossible 1/4 pounder with “cheese.” We shared crispy spring rolls. Everything was delicious! Their desserts look amazing too. I’ll go back again for sure! 👍🏼

    I did a doordash order here. The food tasted delicious and was devoured very quickly. we are the philly sandwich, impossible sandwich, Mac and cheese, and chilli. Food is expensive, but if you're craving it once in a while, definitely worth it Only issue was that there was a piece of plastic in the sandwich my husband had. Totally unacceptable, loses 2 stars.

  • 5/5 JoJo M. 10 months ago on Google
    This is our favorite restaurant in Cincinnati! We make a point to visit when we are traveling though. Today I had the raw Ruben which was amazing and we shared a Cincinnati chili and my partner had the Philly cz stk sandwich, it blew their mind. The desserts are absolutely delightful! We get the chili every time because it is so yummy.

    Everything on the menu (besides the mac) is amazing the woman working is such a pleasure. It's always busy but it's 100% Worth the wait this is the best vegan food u can get the vegan ranch and sour cream are the best I've ever had I think u can bring a non vegan here they wouldn't even know 😋 seriously It's worth a try

  • 4/5 Jescica W. 8 months ago on Google
    This is a cozy place. It smelled amazing! You can watch them prepare foot from the bar or choose a small table to the side. Take out seemed to be busier than dine in for lunch. Friendly staff talked while you waited. There was no wait for me as I was take out.

  • 5/5 Olivia S. 1 year ago on Google
    LOVE this place, wish it was closer to home. The sunny burger is amazing!!! And the raw taco salad!!! Mmmmmm don't forget a piece of cake 😍 Yum yum yum can't wait to go back. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Josh M. 11 months ago on Google
    Visiting from out of town I found this spot through Yelp. I had the Mexican wrap with Mac & cheese, the girlfriend has the quarter pounder with mac and cheese as well as the vegan fruit cheesecake. Both the Mexican rap and the quarter pounder were excellent, the mac and cheese was good but not extraordinary,, and the cheesecake was superb. If you were looking for a place with a broad menu of all vegan items, I would highly recommend stopping by!

  • 5/5 Sarah Keeling H. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow. This place delivered just what I needed. I have my first cold since going to a plant-based diet doing so and have been craving pho. Loving Hut came up in my search for pho on Uber Eats, so I tried it. It was phenomenal. I’ve been meaning to try Loving Hut for a while and I’m SO glad I did.

    I Absolutely Love the Manager or Owner of Loving Hut. I am Vegan and have some issues so I am only eating fruit and raw foods right now so they have 3 raw vegan food items on the menu. Raw Pasta which is my favorite which consists of Raw Spiral zuchinni noodles and a pine not sundried tomatoe marinara sauce that is so good. I usually order 2 large and they have a raw Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut and raw flaxseed bread that I truly enjoy and for dessert raw unsweetened blueberry pie with a cashew crust..every once in awhile I get the raw taco salad..so I am coming to meet the manager/or owner not sure of their title but I have to meet her in person.. She is so nice sometimes she gives me a free raw unsweetened blueberry pie. This last order I was gonna order it but it was not available on the Uber eats app only the regular blue berry pie was available and I told her I was not able to select the raw unsweetened blueberry pie in a note for the order and she put one in my bag for free again. I want to come work at Loving Hut that's how much I love the food.election and the products then the world class customer service can not be matched. I àm a Plant-Based Vegan Chef with kitchen Manager exp. I'm ready to put in my notice and take my talents to Loving Hut. Owner/Manager I am not ashamed to say I Love You.. thank you for being You! See you soon! Everyone in Cincinnati need to experience this restaurant and the exceptional customer service and genuine Love from The Loving Hut!

  • 5/5 Nessa D. 1 year ago on Google
    By far the best place in Cincinnati to get vegan or vegetarian food! Personally I love the buffalo wrap and usually get that but everything I’ve tried is delicious.

  • 5/5 Melissa B. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been on a kind of detox and health journey for the last few months (not vegan; but, meatless). Stopped in The Loving Hut for dinner and decided try the Toona Sandwich (cold). HAD I NOT KNOWN IT WASN’T tuna fish… Absolutely a new favorite!!! Today is Thursday; I guess I’ll give myself until Saturday to get another taste, of Toona! Yum!!!

  • 5/5 Kristy U. 1 year ago on Google
    So fresh! Delicious food and even if you aren't vegan I guarantee you will love the quality and price for what you get ! Also extremely helpful friendly staff. Love this place

  • 4/5 Ry 1 year ago on Google
    I got the mac and cheese, drumstick with BBQ sauce, beyond brat sauerkraut, raw pasta, and kids grilled cheese. Items I would ABSOLUTELY get again: beyond brat sauerkraut and raw pasta, SO delicious it was ridiculous! I loved the alternative bun/wrap the beyond brat came in, seasoned very well, sauerkraut and was delicious. The raw pasta I was nervous about but you can't even tell the noodles are vegetables! That sauce was irresistible, so flavorful and the walnut meat on top was an excellent texture pair #1 thing I will get. The next is the drumstick, good texture and flavor, would get again. Items I could do without was the Mac and cheese and grilled cheese. It put me in the mind of American cheese with the way it melted and the bland taste. I prefer my vegan Mac and grilled cheeses to have a sharp, poignant taste along with a more solid formed texture.

    This place is delicious! The staff is so nice the food selection is is great. I’m not vegan but their 1/4 with cheese is my favorite burger in Cincinnati. I absolutely recommend giving them a try.

  • 5/5 Tyler C. 1 year ago on Google
    Loving Hut is a phenomenal option for vegan food. Their soups are delicious, and their Vegan Philly is one of my favorites. So yummy - perfect for a cold day. There's not a lot of seating inside the cafe, but it's perfect for takeout. You won't regret giving this place a try.

  • 5/5 Latreece CEO-SheGlamafied C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing!!!! The owner is a very kind lady who remembers me after my first visit. I’ve tried the Mac N Chz, and bbq wrap which were very good. I love love love the Toona I get it in a cup with tortilla chips added. Trust me you will crave it. My kids enjoyed the sloppy joe and the veggie burger. This will be our go to do lunch and dinners instead of fast food!!

  • 1/5 Christine B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an order with a hair in it. I called and asked for a refund but had to fight teeth and nails just to get my WHOLE order refunded. The lady only wanted to refund me for the sandwich but didn’t eat the meal because of the hair. I went to the store to get a hard copy receipt, found out that she didn’t refund me the whole order but was nasty when I politely inquired about the rest of my funds. This will be the last time EVER doing business with this establishment. Customer service and business etiquette is HORRIBLE!

  • 5/5 Mark M. 1 year ago on Google
    No exaggeration to call this a game-changer in Cincinnati. My gf and I had all but given up in despair at having evening meals out on date nights. The sandwiches are all delicious, and there's some excellent ides and vegan burger options. Basically, it's all freakin' great! Finally I can enjoy a meal at a restaurant and NOT be reminded of genocide at every turn.

  • 5/5 Jeff c. 1 year ago on Google
    Great welcome vegan and vegetarian meals, locally sourced, made from scratch. A little taste of california here in the midwest.. prices are low, especially considering the high cost of natural foods.. I love this place and stop by anytime I'm in the area.

  • 5/5 Homme de T. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm not vegan, and normally I despise most of what passes for food in typical vegan restaurants, but not here at Loving Hut. IT's different. Not to be a punster, but you could tell they actually put some love and attention into the food. The post covid eating arrangements are not optimal but they have a couple of tables out front. They definitely mainly seem geared toward take-out currently, but sidewalk seating is surprisingly enjoyable. They seem to be affiliated with some sort of East Asian new religious movement or Guru, but they don't push that in your face. I liked the place and will probably come back the next time I am in town.

  • 5/5 Ebony P. 2 years ago on Google
    The customer service was amazing. The owner and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Gain a wealth of info about starting my journey as a vegan. The food was delicious especially the beyond burger. I will definitely be returning.

  • 5/5 Natasha A. 1 year ago on Google
    We live in Dayton, but my spouse took me to Cincinnati for my birthday last week. While out, we stumbled across this place for dinner (thanks to the happy cow app). Seriously WONDERFUL food and the staff were AMAZINGLY kind! We will make the trip back just for the food. Thanks so much for all you guys do!

    Welp cincinnati don’t have too many vegan spots and I regretfully have to RIp the Loving Hut for horrible customer service and mis information on a menu item. I am allergic to egg and dairy so often times my preference is vegan because I can order whatever. Loving hut advertises as using Gardein chickn. I am allergic to egg and dairy. I immediately experienced some sensitivity in my mouth and had to take Benedryl . I waited until customers left because I didn’t want to give the impression that I was causing a scene, but I asked about the items in the dish I ordered. I knew it had to be the noodle or the protein. When I began to ask questions very politely, she took offense and pleaded that they are vegan and would never have items containing egg/dairy. I expressed to her that accidents do happen but she ended up telling me the chickn wasn’t gardenin. I asked her to tell me the brand she said she can’t tell me that. I really wanted to know so that I can google ingredients because I’m willing to bet it was egg white as many vegetarian alternatives contain. I reminded her that you can’t just be switching up ingredients and not informing your customer because people have food allergies. I also reminded her that she actually SAID do I want the gardein strips. She said “I’m sorry” but there was no empathy. She literally said I’m busy and walked about. I won’t be back! Then when I called they said you can eat in now. The back area is closed and it’s basically just a table in front of the window . I will NOT be back just on the strength that she wouldn’t share the vegan chickn used. I wonder if she can legally withhold that info and who I should call. I’m going to ask several people specifically call to inquire about that chicken just because why is it a secret.
