    So glad I found this place!!! Super cute spot. I was hoping to get the BBQ pulled pork, but they were out of jackfruit. So I opted for the mofonguitos quinoa carne and a beef & mac empanada. I also got a homemade tamarind juice. So yummy!! Definitely recommend getting a couple more sauces for the quinoa/bottom ($1 extra for more sauce).

    I was super surprised to find a vegetarian place in this location. The place is small but the food is great. It has a lot of Dominican Republic style with a nice twist and vegan. Good for a small group, trying various dishes and sharing.

    Close to the house so that is a plus. Very clean inside and a cute vegan menu. I wouldn't say a dinner spot but a great lunch spot due to the menu. One of my favorites is the fresh juices they have (soursop and Tamarindo). The servings are perfect and one of my top sandwiches would have to be the Cubano. Very much worth stopping by and don't forget to ask for your condiments.

    My friends and I decided to get takeout from this cute little restaurant and we couldn't be more thrilled with our food! I love Dominican food and this restaurant immersed itself by bringing a vegan take to some very classic and timeless Dominican specialties The food tasted fresh, fried to perfection, and was delicious. 😋 I was pleasantly surprised by the patelito filling as it had pieces of noodles I would’ve liked to taste more of the “meat” flavoring as opposed to so much noodle on top of the fried disk. The patelitos would have tasted so much better with sauces which we unfortunately did not receive any of for any of the things we ordered. Unsure if this something that should be asked for when ordering but I didn't see an option through Uber Eats :(. The carrot cake cupcake was so delicious but unfortunately melted when received due to being in the same bag as the hot food but was still deliciously moist. Overall would recommend and would return 😊

    Vegans rejoice. The food at The Vegan Factory is amazing. This restaurant is a unique and special place. I have not seen any restaurant like it anywhere in the Bronx. Since there is no meat in any of the dishes they serve, it is necessary to come up with some creative recipes. That is exactly what The Vegan Factory has done. The restaurant has a green and pink theme. It was a take-out place but now there are chairs and tables so people sit down to eat. The chairs are super cool! They are a green color, very comfortable, and have a smooth velvety texture. I decided to eat nachos. This delicious dish is made up of tortilla chips, quinoa-beef, beans, pico de gallo, salsa, etc. Using quinoa to replace meat worked well because combinations of flavors were great. I also had the vegan cuban sandwich. It was quite tasty with the mushrooms and seitan bacon. The flavor is as close as you will get to a Cuban sandwich without the meat. The empanadas are a breath of fresh air because they are not the typical greasy meat-filled empanadas you find in other restaurants. I tried a plantain empanada and a quinoa, cranberry empanada. The empanadas have a delicate flaky crust, both empanadas were excellent. You really should check this place out if you are a vegan or not a vegan.

    Absolutely delicious Dominican/ Mexican/ New York classics—vegan style. Loved the mofonguitos & chopped cheese sandwich. Juices are outstanding. Lovely wait staff. Super quick. Woman-owned business to boot!

    We were extremely happy with our food order. We had an event on Saturday October 23rd for our last film screening of the year in the Bronx. The food was on point. The customer service satisfactory. We will definitely order from NSV again! Vegan food is delicious!

    Hate to be the one to do this. I was super excited to eat here especially seeing my two worlds collide, my culture and food lifestyle. I got two patacón chimi. What makes a chimi a chimi? Garlic and oregano. Both Chimi had no flavor at all. The only flavors were from the ketchup. I asked my partner, thinking that maybe just mine was an error. Sadly, both tasted like beans from a can with no seasoning. I wish I could say more but there’s just nothing more to say. If this was a one time error, please remember that any day, you could have a brand new guest. First impressions are important. The concept is there, execution wasn’t.

    I told Anna I would stop in after passing by by car for months now. I still ended up ordering Uber Eats to deliver to me instead. My first time and it was just delicious and comforting. The cauliflower wings are delicious- tasty. I had it with rice and black beans. Today I finally walked up the block in person. Anna wasn't there but the other lady at the register was just as nice and pleasant. Today I had the burritos and was awesome. Filled me up quick and had a great taste to it. This is my new healthy spot in the BX. I love the fact that such a place exist in the BX. I also love its really close by me so I am going to be there a lot moving forward! The juices are awesome and the vibe is low key and full of positive vibes. Check them out asap! I can't wait to test the rest of the menu out!

    I really love that this is a local vegan Dominican restaurant. I had a soursop juice. It was refreshing and light. Liked everything . The cauliflower wings , I’m not a fan of. I was hoping it would of been coated with the sauce ( like Cheesecake Factory) it is not. You have to dip it. I ordered the bbq flavor. They nailed the flavors in the mofungos . Would buy again. The Philly was good.

    I love it. The portions are large. I was BEYOND satisfied with the amount of food I received. I got the spring rolls, el patacon and the Yuri Fries I believe it was called. Very flavorful, the plantain for the patacon was not over fried or too oily. It felt like a healthy cheat meal and I loved it 😂

    I was impressed with the food here. I've eaten at hundreds of vegan restaurants by now, and the dishes here are memorable. I got the Mofonguitos Con "Carne," Patacon Chimi, empanadas, and mango juice. The Patacon is unique, using plantains in place of bread. My friend also ordered Mofonguitos Con "Carne," and he usually does not like quinoa; he enjoyed this dish, as did I. I haven't eaten the empanadas yet, everyone else has, but I was eager to leave this review because I was impressed. They had some cupcake desserts for dessert lovers and vegan slogan shirts (I loved that). Good vibes here as well; everyone was super friendly. My only thoughts on improving are not food quality based, that's on point! Although the food does take a while to come out, so ordering ahead could resolve that if you are short on time, I wasn't. Additionally, and maybe in the future would like to see more sustainable "to go" packaging, and the ketchup they have has high fructose corn syrup in it, which I don't use. Next time I am in the city im coming back!

    Great place. Delicious food. Only wish the “meats” in the items taste a little more like their non-vegan counterpart. Mac n cheese can be a little cheesier too. It almost looks like it’s plain noodles with a bit of cheese over it.

    Hear me out - Their food is good (I got the chik'n quesadilla) but I think they use daiya cheese and it's so gross. I'm in bed nauseous from it. I ate the quesadilla because every other part of it was good and I tried to take the cheese off but it's a quesadilla lol. I don't think I could get it again feeling this sick after eating it. The pastelitos and milanesa are good and I would recommend.

    Intimate and community building atmosphere. We made friends while dining in. The food rocks. Where else can you eat vegan with Domican flavor? The answer is, you can't, so you should treat yourself to an amazing culinary experience.

    Amazing food !! I went earlier today and got the mushroom burger w mac n cheese. Also, the young lady in the front (Rosanna i believe was her name) was so sweet and she has great customer service.

  • 3/5 Andy 1 year ago on Google
    Great tasting dishes, I’ve ordered from this spot a couple of times and my orders have come out tasteful and high quality, pricing is very fair too. The place is still a work in progress but I definitely see their vision on where they’re going with this and I love it, very BX cultural along with the motherland DR flavor but 100% vegan, can’t get better than that. I hope that they improve their wait time, I’ve had to wait 10-15 mins extra for my order every time I go there I guess they’re understaffed in the kitchen but the food makes up for it I guess. Overall great place

  • 5/5 Clara S. 11 months ago on Google
    We came from upstate to handle some immigration issues, stopped by Vegan Factory before our appointment....and let me tell you this place is wonderfully authentic, with the most delicious & unique vegan dishes. We all loved it!

  • 5/5 Aisha B. 10 months ago on Google
    I gave this place a shot because my vegan friend couldn’t shut up about this place. One thing about me, I am a very picky/judgmental eater. That being said their mac & cheese is amazing, their little chicken fingers are really good, sauce enhances the flavor. Chopped cheese is better than your corner stores’ 🤷🏾‍♀️ come at me 😂 Totally forgot it was a vegan spot until I saw my friend with the quinoa bean whatever🤣. I don’t like beans but I bet if I was blindfolded. I wouldn’t have known.

  • 5/5 Alex S. 2 years ago on Google
    I went last week and got a burrito, yaroa fries and mofonguitos de carne. The food was AMAZING. Rosanna was so nice and she has great customer service. Definitely will be coming back!!

  • 5/5 brandon c. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is amazing, and if anyone asks me, I won't shut up about it. It's nice to have such a high quality vegan spot so close to home.

  • 4/5 Wesaun S. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here Tuesday June 21 before work event in the area. Tita gave excellent customer service. She was courteous, kind and helpful. The food took 15-20 minutes as she said. Worth the wait. Didn't feel that bad. May be best to call ahead if you don't want to wait or want to wait less. Keep in mind they don't accept cards (even your debit) for less than 15. Because of this, had to get 2 orders. Because of this, I spent more than I would have liked. I don't mind now because I had the privilege of sharing. Usually, I cannot eat much so that would have been a little inconvenient since I was on my way to work event therefore would not have liked to carry much for long. However, both orders were delicious. I do prefer warm food. I didn't know the tuna of the tuna tostadores would be cold so I was disappointed at first, the tortilla shell was a little hard, but not stale. A softer tortilla option might be preferable for those with sensitive teeth. Once I adjusted, eating the tuna tostadores with the chimi sauce was delicious. I also appreciated the generous serving size. Because of the size, there's also not a public restroom if this would be important to you. Patacon chimi was excellent. Warm & delicious. I was surprised at how big it was. The cabbage and other fruits/vegetables in the meal were fresh. Their homemade patty is way more delicious than any processed vegan patty/veggie meat you'll find out there. All in all, it was a great lunch experience, and I would definitely recommend. If I have another work event or obligation in the area, I would be willing to return.

    I was looking for a vegan restaurant to enjoy my birthday. I googled Next Stop-Hub. My friend hadn’t eaten vegan before and we were not disappointed. The food was so delicious, well seasoned and my friend couldn’t believe he was eating plant-based food. The staff was warm and it is a small place where 8 or less could sit and eat. Take-out is worth you going to pick it up. I ate pulled pork, tacos, chicken and it was all great! Prices were reasonable too.

  • 5/5 Samantha S. 2 years ago on Google
    Even if you aren’t vegan, you can still enjoy the food. Soooo tasty & the portions were great for the price. Service is great as well. I can’t wait to visit again and try more!

  • 5/5 Devildog U. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm steadily on my way to veganism. Doctor gave me a whole bunch of bad news last year and since turning into a life style of veganism I've shocked him. All to say I went to this restaurant once and wanted to buy everything. Food is excellent, and the people who run it, are just as excellent. Didn't know vegan food can taste so great. I'm truly hooked.
