    Delightful vegetarian food that keeps the original taste of the ingredients, great at making delicious textures. The environment is fresh and beautiful just like their name.

    Went here for Sunday brunch as a group of 5 and had made reservations. It was moderately busy on a Sunday afternoon and noise levels were on the quieter side. We were given a very comfortable 5 people couch seating in the restaurant closer to the bar. After receiving our menus, we waited for a good 11-14 minutes for us to flag someone down to take our order, which included Kebab ($15), Nachos ($18), Parsnip Ravioli ($16), and Truffle Mashed Potato ($8) for small bites/appetizers. The Ravioli and Nachos were ok, but the Kebab's were very tasty! It felt like real meat! We shared our mains which included a Blossom Burger ($21) and a Pesto Pizza ($23) - both were really delicious and the tapioca cheddar and soy bacon were an absolute surprise in terms of taste and appearance in a very good way! While the service was a little slow at the beginning it picked up throughout our stay. One thing we did not like was an automatic gratuity of 20% on a table of 5, where our fifth person was our 2 year old who wasn't really served! That was a little disappointing and we would've liked the option to choose our gratuity. Overall, an excellent experience though.

    Holy vegan heaven ! Absolutely one of my favorite vegan & gluten free restaurants in nyc so far! I did not give it a 5 star cause the atmosphere & decor needs a lot of help. But!, from service all the way to the flavors & presentation of the dishes were stunningly delicious. Highly recommend it! You won't regret it. This is how vegan life is so take a risk & never go back to meat.

    A menu bursting with flavour and comfort food. The big plates are BIG, but the lasagna felt pretty light in my tummy in spite of the generous portion. The space is bright and stylish and the staff super friendly. Oh, and there are highchairs for babies, but no changing facilities.

    This place was so good! The wait staff was great and the food was delicious. We ordered the ravioli which was amazing as well as the Caesar salad and gnocchi. So delicious. You’d never know this place was all vegan! Oh yes and the tiramisu was amazing as well. Highly recommend.

    Great upscale dinner option for anyone whose vegan or plant-based. My boyfriend surprised me with a dinner date here. Best dish? Skewer with chimichurri sauce. Delicious and filled with flavor and heaping with spring greens on top. I ordered the Picata dish but I just can’t do the texture of seitan. The sauce and truffle potatoes were delicious though. The Buffalo arancini was also lacking in flavor, with no flavors of Buffalo coming out.

    Our server was very nice. Nice and clean place. Food I would say was average for me. Good place for people who are vegan/vegetarian. I would not go back but rather explore other places for better food. Definitely if you are vegan/vegetarian, try it out. Around $120 + Tip for three starters, one entree, a drink and two desserts.

    I was in the area, looking for a quick bite. What a hidden gem!! I ordered the roasted cauliflower (it was supposed to be small, but it’s quite a generous plate to be an appetizer!), and the zucchini blossoms with cashew cheese (omg). I specially like that they have so many gluten-free options! The staff was super nice, quick and attentive. Definitely will come back for more!

    Incredible dishes for brunch. The crispy artichokes were meaty and came with a delicious, tangy sauce. The country breakfast and Benedict was delicious as well. I couldn't believe how some of the items weren't meat based especially the tofu eggs. Prices are fair as well. $68 for two drinks, an appetizer, and two entrees. Would definitely come back again. I'm curious about their dinner.

    Lovely creative restaurant that offers many different kinds of dishes. We got the lasagna and pistachio covered tofu - they were both delicious and unique. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated. Our waiter was also nice. The only thing I did not appreciate was the fact I ordered a Diet Coke and got the drink in the picture instead.

    First off great service. Second their was so many food options got this plant based girl to ponder it took me forever. The local Pinot Grigio was fantastic and the moscato di’ aste was 100%. The artichoke and mushroom appetizer was wonderfully cooked, great texture but a bit too heavy on the lemon for my tastebuds. The Fraser salad was delish. The sietan bacon was 200% out of this world amazing. Made the salad. Loved the chopped lettuce. The sietan cutlets over garlic mash and kale was really fantastic. My other half was kicking himself for not ordering it. Tons of food on that plate for sure. The spouse tried the burger and said it was ok. I think he was sad he didn’t order my dish. The chocolate ganash with peanut butter cream and ice cream was definitely for a chocoholic. I had the coconut tiramisu and h thought it was very flavorful. World totally go back here.

    Excellent food. All really delicious. Got a tofu BLT and lasagna bothered excellently cooked, well portioned, and definitely couldn't tell it was "vegan". The interior is warm and cozy. Will come back again

    Beautiful restaurant with tasty & creative vegan food. I really enjoyed the Seitan Piccata. The sauce was tasty and fresh. However my friend thought the seitan was tough and the sauce was oily so hardly touched it. The server was nice enough to not charge us for her plate.

    Our experience at Blossom on University was wonderful. The waiter was so kind and helped me choose the perfect glass of wine. The food was perfect, we got the jackfruit tacos and the gnocchi. Fluffiest gnocchi I ever tasted and the sauce was so rich and creamy. And the chocolate ganache with ice cream on the side was also amazing.

    Went for a Saturday brunch. Though had booked the a table in advance, it was not crowded. The food was really good specially nachos and pesto pizza. They have some good soy free options too. Staff was courteous. Outdoor seating is too small for a group of 4 or 5 people. Recommend indoors for bigger groups. In all, great place for vegan food.

    Good food as well as drink… the service was great and even the interior is nice home like…overall not that expensive and food comes fast and very tasty… their deserts are good as well

    They have a small yet well chosen wine selection and the food... Insane!! The service was also far more friendly than any other (vegan) restaurant we have been to in NYC

  • 4/5 Will Z. 1 year ago on Google
    First time here and it was great! Staff was very friendly and attentive. It had a cozy atmosphere inside that I could have stayed hours in. Food was prepared quickly and was quite tasty. Next time I come I will definitely be trying something new from their innovative menu.

  • 5/5 Angela Carmen S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice ambience with tasty exotic vegan food. I had the Cape Cod Cakes made with tofu. It was delicious. You would never guess. They have plastic separation between tables.

  • 5/5 Kyle M. 3 years ago on Google
    Its a very cozy atmosphere for an outing of one or two. The food was really lite and the staff members were on point. My only gripe is that there wasn't too much communication between the staff when it was time for the check. I ordered vegan tacos with the cashew ravioli, strictly strawberry herbal/decaf and chocolate ganache for dessert.

  • 5/5 Vincent Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing service and food. The food was more on the pricey side but it was delicious. Highly recommend the Tiramisu!

  • 5/5 Kristina S. 2 years ago on Google
    Upscale and kids friends spot for brunches. It’s probably one of the best vegan places I’ve ever tried and this is coming from someone who is not vegan actually just like to explore new tastes and flavors.

  • 5/5 Renee M. 2 years ago on Google
    Vegan fine dining at it's absolute best. Every single dish was delicious and unique. Highly recommend the pistachio tofu, cape cod cakes, seitan piccata and tiramisu. I am already thinking about going back. Non-vegans would enjoy too. They do take reservations and have outside seating too. Come hungry!

  • 5/5 Cara C. 2 years ago on Google
    Other than the food always being absolutely delicious, we had a great experience because of our server, James! We were celebrating our friends’ engagement and James was just lovely. He also let us know that we had tipped on top of the included group tip amount, what an honest gesture.

  • 5/5 Leona P. 2 years ago on Google
    I truly enjoyed my experience here. My favorites were the jackfruit tacos and the arancini!! The service was good as well. They don’t have there liquor license so only beer and wine.

  • 4/5 Tierney N. 2 years ago on Google
    The southwest seitan sandwich was lackluster. It needed more caramelized onions, avocado, more vegetables in general. Ambiance is nice. Truffle mashed potatoes were phenomenal. My friends risotto was good. And my other friends vegetable stir fry was very good. Great service!

  • 5/5 Serdar A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, fast service. Friendly waiters. The price is good.

  • 3/5 george c. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food. Wife and I split a mushroom and artichoke appetizer which was good, although we agreed it needed more garlic and less lemon. Bacon Cesar was good. Her braided Seitain and mash was soooo much better than my impossible burger. The tiramisu must have been good because I did not have any

    Delicious food and great atmosphere. Friendly and attentive staff. Will be back to try other menu items. Prices decent for a vegan restaurant.
