    Please make food consistent! This was my go-to lunch spot, but the past couple months, I’ve been disappointed so many times. I usually get their taco salad, which used to be cheaper, delicious, and have shredded lettuce and better ingredients, but my last quinoa taco salad was terrible. They poured too much dressing- salty watery soggy salad. Lately, they don’t even chop veggies properly.

    A great place to eat fast causal vegan food. The portions are well-sized and there are a variety of fun vegan options. The atmosphere is cozy and small with a few tables to sit down at. No complaints about the staff. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. Hope this helps!

    I ordered take out from this place and the food was delicious! I ordered the guac burger and sweet potato fries. The patty is one of the best I've eaten in a long time.

    A nice place to grab lunch/dinner. The food is quite good, I tried a few things and liked everything. The Guac burger and Chicky deluxe were delicious and so were the chicky dippers. The mac n’ cheeze did not taste like mac & cheese but it was still really good! My only complaint is the staff are not welcoming whatsoever. They weren’t friendly at all. I initially thought that it was that specific staff member but when I came in the second time, it was a different person but I still experienced the same thing. (I miss when this was by chloe because the staff were nice, kind and the atmosphere was always lively)

    Very poor attempt at a vegan chicken sandwich. Super disappointed. And it was served semi-cold (though I think made fresh?). Sweet potato fries were okay but worse than most I’ve had. One of their dipping sauces was excellent. And service was super friendly. Just couldn’t make up for the food 😩

    I loved every single thing we tried at Beatnic! The Mac n Cheeze is incredible and I loved the buffalo cauliflower bites. A great spot for a quick lunch

    I ordered for pick up and they gave me a lunch bag type of bag. I asked for a bag with a handle as I’m traveling and he refused stating that they are running low as if the bag swap would effect his salary. Avoid this establishment if you actually care about bare minimum service.

    Yummmm. No meat burger done right! Thanks for making it colorful and fun too. The beverage selection is on point. How do we get more of these places? Price is right!!

    Excellent vegan restaurant right here. Was such a relief on a hot day, to get this delicious food and nice cold air conditioning! The burgers here were incredible. The fries were excellent and the service was very good as well. The prices are very affordable for delicious food. What more can you ask for. Highly recommend whether you're vegan or not. 5/5. Follow me for more reviews, photos and great tips.

    Great vegan spot. Got the kale ceaser and jackfruit chicken. Very tasty! Only thing I’m picky about was there were stems of kale in my salad which are a bit too crunchy for me - nonetheless the greens were fresh and dressing superb!

  • 4/5 Tian C. 7 months ago on Google • 77 reviews
    This vegan poke bowl was SO good (a bit salty but it's expected bc of poke sauce). The rice was a bit hard/old but it still tasted yummy. I was craving sushi and passed their sign outside for this. First time trying Beatnic and won't be my last.

  • 4/5 Mrudula s. 5 months ago on Google • 62 reviews
    I tried the crispy jackfruit chicken and the Cheezeburger. The burger was good, it had some dehydrated mushrooms which were burnt rather than crispy but the beetroot sauce was yummy and the chikn fingers were pretty good. Good place for a quick bite.

  • 3/5 Gautam K. 3 months ago on Google • 40 reviews New
    I found food to be too dry and without much flavor. I had better vegan burger, wraps. Chocolate cookies is okay bt dry. Brownie is nice. I think they shud let us choose sauces and provide more portion of sauces. Didn’t really enjoy the food

    Giving this a three because I’ve been going there a lot and today I was served some buffalo caulipoppers that were barely warmed. As if they gave me something that was already there. First time being disappointed there

  • 5/5 Ross F. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious vegan fast casual that’s very filling!

  • 5/5 Eva L. 2 years ago on Google
    I have eaten here twice and both times their costumer service was amazing. They truly have the best workers here!! I am not vegan or vegetarian but their food is delicious and affordable. I will definitely keep coming here! 😌 P.S. this is my first time writing a review for a restaurant so that says a lot about this place 🤭

  • 5/5 Rod T. 2 years ago on Google
    Ok holy **** that was ABSOLUTELY amazing. The Mac and cheese is out of control good, the chicken sandwich is incredible. So, so recommended!!! Incredible to have these great options as a vegetarian.

  • 5/5 Mosotho M. 5 months ago on Google
    I'm not vegan, so I always compare the substitute to meat. Today, I had the Chicky Ceasar Wrap 🤤 It was delicious! Jackfruit was used as the meat substitute. The texture and flavors were superb. Beatnic also has a variety of sauces. We entered the restaurant at the last minute but the staff treated us like it was only 12pm 🩶 My receipt says Sam took our order.

    New favorite spot. Love their Kale Salad 🥗🥗🥗 Their cupcakes are to die for

  • 3/5 Sarah G. 11 months ago on Google
    Food was delicious while I had it… but 10 minutes after I finished, I experienced a ghastly stomach ache. Not sure if I’m allergic to anything or if it was the food . Disappointing.

  • 5/5 Sylvia W. 10 months ago on Google
    Best chicky Caesar wrap I’ve had! Their mac and cheese is also a must try- such a great vegan spot, even my meat wring friend choose to go there for lunch.

  • 5/5 Dritona R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious; I got the vegan chicken Caesar salad wrap and it was great. It's a cute lunch spot hidden away from all the SoHo chaos so it doesn't get overwhelming busy. The staff is super friendly as well.

  • 5/5 Dieynaba N. 11 months ago on Google
    I loved my vegan burger , omg one of the best no need to put ketkup etc... everything is inside!i wasnt feeling the mushroom that nuch but it was fire! However, omg the juice blood orange...was a nono, no taste no flavor no sugar it was a waste of my money! Ive drinked that kinda juice somewhere else and it was wayyyyyyyy better.i will come back for the burger not for juice nono o

    I really, really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately the two items I got were virtually inedible. Crispy cauli poppers were sad and super soggy. Air baked fries (both, regular and sweet potato) were dried out and drenched with zatar. One out of two dipping sauces was delicious. Service is super friendly, hence one star. Sadly I will not be going back to try their other items. There are so many great vegan options in this Town. CRISPY CAULI POPPERS

  • 5/5 Devon C. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered online and got the peanut salad, the Mac and cheese and the s’mores bar. It was ready when I got there. Everything was. So. Fire. The s’mores bar was executed perfectly. Omg it’s so good. The Mac and cheese is so good to me too. Probably the best vegan Mac I’ve ever tried (my bf is vegan and he didn’t love the chz too cheesy) the salad would have been better if I asked for the dressing on the side but loved the flavor and the tofu and the crunch . If you’re vegan try this place

  • 5/5 Sarah L. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is awesome! Best vegan burgers and vegan anything in New York. I've almost tried everything on the menu and have yet to try something I don't Love. Burgers are great and tasty, lovely smoothies, nice breakfasts and heavenly avocado toasts and salads. Oh and the sweet potato fries are fantastic, served with great dipping sauces. Friendly staff and quick service. A must for vegan foodies 😋

  • 5/5 Alan Mark H. 1 year ago on Google
    The Classic is the best vegan burger I’ve had. The pickles and the slightly spicy beet ketchup and sauce provide juiciness and great flavor. I was in NYC for business, and after a week of heavy eating, this burger was perfect.

  • 5/5 Aaron B. 1 year ago on Google
    As a constant meat eater, I definitely didn't think I would like their food. I was pretty skeptical, but was blown away. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking to introduce your friends to Vegan food. The space is nice and quaint as well which makes it nice for conversation and just hanging out while you enjoy your meal.

  • 3/5 Theresa 1 year ago on Google
    I love their kale Caesar salad, but I’ve got a problem with their burgers. Their fries are air fried and therefore kinda stale. Someone should tell them that cooking oil is vegan lol. Also the bread on the burger was bland. Ill go back to the salads.

  • 4/5 Ashesh G. 4 years ago on Google
    Great counter-top restaurant if you are vegan or like vegan food. Mac n' cheese and smashed avocado toast are two of my favorite items on their menu. Usually gets very crowded and seating is limited. Service time is quick.

  • 1/5 Madison M. 2 years ago on Google
    My salad would have been a lot better if it had dressing. Who does that? Why would I not get dressing in my salad. Lol

  • 4/5 Devonna C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great customer service and the food is good. I would go back.

  • 5/5 Florian K. 1 year ago on Google
    Formerly by Chloe, newly reopened Beatnic is a great spot if you’re looking for plant based grub in SoHo. During a busy day of shopping this cute street side restaurant has great decor, cheerful employees and a somewhat pricey fast casual menu (their salads are a rip off). Other than that you really can’t go wrong with any option, as they are variations of the same core ingredients, and service is fast and efficient. If anything is wrong with your food the staff always will take it back and remake it for you, and their outdoor seating is particularly nice as the weather gets warmer.

  • 5/5 Josh O. 3 years ago on Google
    Vegan BLT! Been wanting to try this place for a while and am so glad I stopped in. I wanted to try everything on the menu but I picked the BLT which comes with shiitake bacon and a delicious chipotle aioli. Looking forward to coming back and trying more!

  • 5/5 Christina E. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is surprisingly good!! I wasn't sure what to expect since I do not usually eat this type but I could get on board! I am atarting to understand what all the hype is about.

  • 5/5 Miriam G. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty vibes, good service. I had the tahini dream salad which was great. It would be nice if they offered a water fountain/ water bottle refill station, especially as the small water boxes they sell are $3. Otherwise a great experience.
