This place is a great one, a very good vegetarian restaurant with a great service in Parsons Blvd. I was really craving the French toast and it was delicious. The mushroom and truffle omelet was excellent and the potato cheese wrap was delicious. I can not wait to come back to this place.

The cutest little spot, brightly decorated in blue, photos and art work dedicated or affiliated with Sri Chinmoy. I'm unsure. French toast deluxe with strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream was very delicious. The Mediterranean omelet with olives and pesto was delightful. Home fries- seasoned well and crispy.

I found myself in Jamaica Queens while running an errand on Sunday morning when I stumbled upon this cozy and quaint vegan breakfast spot. I have been a plant based eater for over five years now, and vegetarian/vegan restaurants are sadly few and far between in Queens- so of course I HAD to try it! After taking a glance at their extensive and delicious sounding menu, I ended up ordering some vegan pancakes deluxe (pancakes topped with walnuts, banana, strawberries, adorable mini blueberries and a side of real maple syrup), as well as the tofu scramble with veggies and hash browns seasoned with Italian seasoning and a side of sourdough toast. Everything was colorful, fresh, and bursting with flavor. For $20, the value was incredible and the portion was huge and filling. (See my photo!) This was hands down one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in months ! The dining room is closed right now due to Covid 19 but I hope to eat some brunch here with family and friends in the future. The interior is just adorable! The workers here were very friendly as well. Will definitely be back for more. PS I wish you guys were on Uber eats for delivery !! That would be awesome

Amazing! You have to try to believe. 10/8/2023 We returned today to extend our experience with this place via never before tried selections from the menu. I left feeling like I had just finished a meal prepared by a team of culinary alchemists.

Delicious vegan/vegetarian food! I really recommend the vegan sausage, egg and cheese deluxe. The ingredients really melt in your mouth and work well together. I also got the pumpkin pancakes, it's a very large dish and feeds two people. The egg Benedict was also really yummy but I found the vegan sausage, egg and cheese to be more tasty.

It was good. And so nice to be able to go somewhere that had Gluten Free. Too bad the cross contaminate... ugh! The pancakes were just ok. The cherry chocolate ones were definitely the best! The oatmeal was outstanding the the potatoes were inedible. They were not cooked all the way and the seasoning was just weird. All in all, it was ok

Searched online for ‘healthy breakfast in Queens’ and this is one of the restaurants that came up. Service was quick and food was served hot and fresh. Its good that they have regular and vegan options. We’d definitely recommend and come back!

I honestly cannot express how much I love this place. Fresh ingredients. Several vegan options. Intimate setting and excellent service. EVERYTHING on the menu is 100000% satisfying.

A Classic Diner with a lot of history. Will be back to dine in.

Definitely the best kept secret on Parsons Blv. Queen. Such delicious and wholesome Vegan dishes served up with taste and perfect.

I recently went vegan and was looking for a vegan restaurant close by. I started coming here to eat as well as go to Guru health foods next door for my organic groceries. The food is delicious and cheaper than going to Mc Donald's to poison myself. The person preparing my meal wore gloves and the use the same type of juicer I use at home. It's the little things, like the Devore and something simple as biodegradable straws . My orange juice tasted real fresh also and was fresh squeezed. I hope not many people read this review because I don't want this place crowded the next time I visit. The only drawback to this place is that they close at 3:00 pm.

I had a layover at JFK and took an uber to a quite unassuming but fantastic veggie diner. Everyone was so friendly, had a seat at the counter, and watched them make fresh juice. Omelet was superb, ask for a side of pesto, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing! Really nice place to get tasty fresh food. Great service and a tranquil ambience. Food was too yummy to await photos. We had Eggs Benedict (best, not in photo though) Vege omelette California omelette Pan Cake Deluxe All were fantastic. Their coffee was good! Surprising for a “diner” and even had free refills but like everything else you can taste the quality of the ingredients honestly. Even the egg yolk color tells you they have the good stuff. They even brought out toys and dinosaurs for the toddler! We spent $57 (before tips) for 4 adults and 1 toddler but we had a whole dish left to bring back. You can do it quite manageably for much lower. Look forward to going back!

this is a nice establishment, peaceful environment, prices were fair esp for vegan food, and portions were large. the employees are mostly white, while most of the clientele was black, everyone seemed kind and decent. retro feel, and accommodating to kids.

Great prices My veggie burguer was delicious zero grease and the taste was nice, the patty texture resembled meat's, but not really the flavor which is awesome cuz I obviously don't like meat. The blueberry peanut butter shake was on the lighter side not too thick which I loved and the best part! The service and the price!

We found this absolute gem when looking for vegan options close to our AirBNB in Queens. Excellent flavors, loved the French toast with authentic looking whipped cream the most! Also bought the cool runners hat from them 😀

Love this place, food is always delicious and fresh! Had the chipotle bacon wrap, passion fruit smoothie special, and blueberry banana coconut pancake special.

Healthy vegetarian meals, treats and hospitality. Kinda spooky. There's a framed picture of a clean shaven older Indian gentleman, placed on Victorian chair on a raised stage... I guess it's a special reservation.

Love this place. Great breakfast options. Just interesting tastes that delight the palette. Live the Avocado migos, Mediterranean omelette and the pancakes deluxe. Oatmeal awesome as well. Doubt their are any bad options on the menu. I was unsure before coming here for the first time but never since. They seem to have a loyal following and have bern around for years. Spiritual creations. Count me a loyal follower now as well. I have to try their lunch options one of these days....lol

Could eat there everyday without problem. Delicious food and nice place to chill out. I hope I can eat there another time soon. Thanks for all.

I'm so glad they have this restaurant here. I drove from the Bronx and it was definitely worth it! We are Vegans and loved the options thanks alot will be back very soon!

Best veg brunch in NYC! Try eggs florentine, yummy.

Great food, great atmosphere and great staff. All around good 🕊️

Vegetarian friendly place for the breakfast. Good options and nice taste. Friendly staff. Vegan pancake option is good. Hottest sauce from yellow bird is 🔥 milk for the coffee is served in a cute little cup

Ever since coming across this spot, I've been going nearly every week! The omelettes are incredible (especially the mushroom truffle one, mmmh), and I even branched out the other day to try the vegan philly cheese steak. It was .... delicious!

I’ve been passing this fine establishment since I was 14, and I never took it for a moment to try it until today. I must say.. this place has changed my perspective on things! I love how vibrant the food looks along with the friendly smiles that greet you! An amazing place to try out, definitely will be back again soon! 🤞🏼✨

Had a really nice lunch here yesterday. I was in the area looking for good places to eat and stopped by because the decor is cute and had good reviews. They have a great selection of options and the food was delicious. I had the burrito and the soup of the day (cauliflower curry) and it was great. Would recommend if you’re in the area!

Excellent place for a vegetarian breakfast!

Not even vegan! they don't even have kosher

Fantastic vegan food

Came across this place by accident and it was the best accident I could've hoped for. I'm always looking for new vegan food and this place delivered my expectations. Pictured is vegan chorizo and a cheesy potato burrito. Their orange juice is served fresh and sweet. The staff is very friendly. Perfect spot for a casual breakfast. I'll be back!

Vegetarian spot in New York, and the food was seriously good, especially the sausage, egg, and cheese on a roll, and the eggs Benedict. It was a bit crowded, so be prepared for that. On the plus side, the service was top-notch, so that definitely made up for the crowd.

If you are serving real eggs you are definitely not vegan nor vegetarian. Just friendly to them. Lol

I love this place. Vegan options Great decor Beautiful staff. Some baked goods that I look forward to trying next time. The brightness and comfort of this restaurant is fantastic. One I've never experienced before. It's like home cooking, when you visited your grandma and she made all your favorites. I love the fresh juiced options. So healthy Enjoy!

Food was amazing! Great portion sizes! Will definitely come back!

This restaurant was suggested to me by some friends.And I was not disappointed I'm always looking for new vegan food and this place delivered my expectations. Pictured is vegan chorizo and a cheesy potato burrito.The staff is very friendly.Perfect place to enjoy somethig good. I'll be back!

Loved eating at this establishment. The service was exceptional, the atmosphere was very calming and peaceful. The vibe from the other customers was great. And the food was truly amazing. I have eaten at many other restaurants that call themselves vegan/vegetarian and lacked taste. Lacked creativity. This restaurant is worth stopping at and eating in. It really is a “smile of the beyond” because it leaves you smiling beyond your meal.

Friendly staff, good food, and great cold brew. I do not often have an occasion to come to New York, but I will definitely be back at some point. The burger I had was excellent. Most restaurants don’t serve stripple, and it was amazing to have that on my burger. 10/10 recommend.

Very flavorful veg bowl 👍🏿. And delicious side snacks like that Banna walnut bread.

Great vegetarian food. The steak on a roll is a family favorite. Tried the Eggs Benedict, potato and cheese wrap, soups and they're all great tasting.

Incredible range of super-delicious vegetarian food. The breakfast items that I've had were all superb. The meals, drinks and cakes are also delicious. I never tasted anything at the Smile of the Beyond that wasn't excellent and the ambience inside the restaurant is wonderful! I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Take Out is Not the same as Dinning Inn

Food is excellent at this place!!! I came here with my family & we all enjoyed the experience. The waiter brought some toys for the babies and overall we enjoyed every dish. All the food is served fresh and warm, and likely made from scratch because it tasted homemade 😍 I’ll be returning for sure!!

The cutest vegetarian diner in the area. Possibly the only one too (pretty much anything can be vegan here)! I had such a delicious omelet and my partner ordered the French toast deluxe they were both phenomenal. The place is so friendly and they have reasonable prices too. Everyone should eat there at least once.

Love this place. My favorites are the potato wrap and the vegan chix wrap with extra Buffalo sauce

Wow Thank God I found this place. I searched Vegan place near by and this restaurant was 5 minutes away. I read about it and I was curious. I didn’t expect it would be so good. Love the decoration it feel so peaceful. I ordered vegan Corned beef hash and chocolate chips vegan pancakes. It was a lot good I saved half for my dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Food from Heaven. Can’t wait to be back

Vegans delight! must try if in the area

Long wait... only 4 tables. Very small place. Nice staff though.

I love this place. Has alor of options and the food is very good

I really love this place. My favorite place to visit at least once or twice a week. Healthy good food. Great calm atmosphere. The guys that work there are awesome.

Quaint restaurant with a wonderful selection of vegetarian and vegan meals. Smoothies are out of this world good. Don’t miss this one!

The staff are all men here, which isn't a problem. The problem is some of them are rude, they seem to ignore you. Especially if you're a woman. They forgot multiple items and when asked for, they were never received. Had no problem taking them off the bill though. But the food is amazing every time. Service on the other hand.

My intention was to go to a very popular vegan restaurant, but was closed when I got there. So I googled vegetarian/vegan" restaurant near me. I was famished, so I picked the closest. Seeing the place, I thought I was not gonna enjoy it!🙄.. the dining area was not attractive. But I was wrong about the tasting of the food. We ordered three different plates. I've never had vegan food so delicious, it was hot and tasty. VERY delicious!!! And I got alot for my money. And it tastes even better the next day, after heating up. This will be my fav spot moving forward. The staff where very professional, and the music was very calming. Even though we waited a long time 😁. It would be wanton if I got upset about the wait, giving the calmness of the place, and the staff. Keep it up guys. Eating healthy is a lifestyle. people please don't hesitate, just try it. Am glad I stumbled upon them😊💙

The food was very good and tasty,.y first time eating from there.

Wow!! Favourite diner by far!! Gluten free pancakes are awesome. Omelets are incredibly tasty. Portions are big. There are so many delicious choices of vegan and vegetarian meals. Healthy juices and smoothies. The people are super friendly!!! Would come every day if I could. Not expensive, either. Open 8am to 3pm.

Cheap good food

vegetarian food, yeah, my preferred treat. two thumbs up for this place.

Great healthy food and friendly staff.

The calmness of the place was unique and relaxing. It’s the type of place you can sit down and have a conversation for hours. Very homey and comfortable. Staff friendly. Pricing was excellent. And the food was delicious. I’m not vegan or vegetarian AT ALL; however, my girlfriend is starting a new diet so as a way to show support I took her to this place for brunch and omg their egg Benedicts were DELICIOUS 🤤🥰

I have passed by this restaurant for many years and never took time out to eat a meal here. Let’s just say that good things come to those that finally create time to explore new things. I had the Vegan Chorizo Hash with a Ginger splash, I enjoyed my meal very much. The menu is quite affordable as well.

The place looks very ran down and the food looks ok but I wouldnt really go here

Quality vegan meals at a competitive price .

Great spot! Gem in the neighborhood. Clean food and nice staff.

Excellent breakfast

Food was absolutely not great ... I’m a vegan my entire life and the food here is BAD... I had the tofu scramble and pancake deluxe.. There is no soul in the food .. go figure. And the 2 star is only because it’s halfway vegan.

Love this place. Very zen and nice staff. The place is estatic.

(Translated by Google) Delicious everything! I am not lazy or vegetarian and I loved everything! I have tried pancakes, Florentine eggs, eggs with asparagus, smoothies ... the vegan bacon is amazing! It looks like pork! I love everythingoooo (Original) Deliciosos todo! No soy vagaba ni vegetariana y todo me encanto! He probado pancakes, huevos florentinos, huevos con espárragos, los batidos... la tocinera vegana es increíble! Parece de cerdo! Me encanta todooooo

Very relaxing atmosphere here, great prices and delicious food with plenty vegan options!

Solid food at great prices

Love it!! Very yammi!

Peaceful shrine to a kind soul that is also a diner with a veganized menu. VEGAN WAFFLES. Vegan scramble. Meatless chorizo many options.

vegetarian food and the scene here is super good. super place to meet and chat with coworkers. i'll return with my coworkers.

Awesome, tasty Vegetarian dishes, breakfast and dinner. Offers gluten free with vegan style foods. The drinks are fresh. The smoothies delightful. Space is in the small side but offers two seaters or 6 seat options.

Best authentic vegan and vegetarian food that I’ve had personally in Jamaica, Queens. Both food and drinks taste extremely fresh, everything is prepared with care. They make non meat taste just as good as meat if not better. They have a ton of options that even the pickiest of eaters could choose from. The staff is both friendly and professional. Definitely my go to spot for when I’m staying away from the meat. Prices are affordable. Only downfall about this place is it closes at 3 so hurry before then.

You can always taste the love that goes into every dish they prepare. They always server with such grace and kindness. I always keep coming back and bringing with me all my friend and family to be apart of this wonderful experience.

Still love this place started coming here in 1977 in high school. Not much has changed and that's a good thing. Stakelets still great but what happened to my alfalfa sprouts? Sauce a little different. Always clean and good staff. Will come back if in neighborhood. Try it!

Happy Hour here before a movie is perfect, food is small enough (and inexpensive enough) to try a few items. Good selection of beer as well. And the atmosphere is fun, loud but not too loud. Staff is friendly and outgoing, would recommend.

Sat outside in some beautiful weather for a great brunch. Started with the arugula tostada and the cod churros. They were a bit salty for my taste, but still good. Then shared the pork belly salmon sandwich. It was mouth-watering as were the fries. Solid choice!

What I recommend for breakfast: Eggs benedict + coffee Lunch; Turkey avocado wrap. Always try seasonal specials here. I am a local so below is based on at least 5 meals per month and attempt to eliminate bias. As you have read, this is all meatless food. The diner is run on an ideology of peace and tranquility and you feel that immediately and throughout—you tend to feel relaxed and satisfied . The atmosphere is light and friendly. Tall booths mean intimate enclosures for friends and family to chat easily. It is well decorated and clean, though there are some utilities visible under the counter from a few seats that can be unattractive. This is a calm environment and conversations are easy to have, and, chatting it up with staff is welcomed and enjoyable. This is a very casual diner setting, so if you are looking for cloth-napkin treatment, adjust your expectations. Clientele is a real mix of working class, spiritual, Boho Hippie, and college kids, and especially locals of all backgrounds. If you're looking for a sample of the diversity of NYC, add this to your list. Weekends are busy, so get here at opening or be prepared to wait 10 to 15 minutes (but no more than 15 mins usually) The quality of the food is consistently above average. Adventurous eaters will enjoy most options and may be impressed with how easily you forget you're at a vegetarian restaurant. Menu Options can be easily adjusted for picky eaters and kids. It may require several visits to enjoy the variety of the menu, for example, at breakfast you may not order one of their fantastic blended drinks or pancakes if you go for standard savory items, but you really deserve to try these items at least once. Coffee here is not typical diner coffee—it's tasty and refreshing but it will kick your butt so be prepared for caffeine-induced x-ray vision. Service is very fast, about 10 -15 mins on average, even when they're busy. They accept cash, credit, debit. Family of 4 can leave satisfied around the $40 mark but expect $55 - $60 for 4 adults. Located on a busy Parsons Blvd hill, can be a challenge for some drivers. Neighborhood looks and feels safe if not a little gritty. Parking is limited along Parsons, I suggest parking along Normal Rd. for added peace of mind. There are a few shops within the blue strip of buildings shared with this diner which can be fun post-meal exploration. In all you spend 30 - 45 mins here with usual service, add another hour for hanging out and checking out the area.

The best vegan burger I’ve had in a really long time omg wow get the ghost burger. And the French toast is bomb and the home fries was amazing too I’m very happy my belly is happy. Highly recommend

While a bit out of the norm, the ambiance and food were each delicious. I appreciated the warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere. Fresh food is guaranteed here.
