👍👍 Love this place! I ordered a custom bowl: quinoa, tempeh, radish, kimchi, broccolini, topped with sesame tahini. It’s bomb! The hojicha is also a great pair to the bowl. People often mention bowl, quality, amazing,

    Finally a fast casual Matthew Kenny spot! I knew I could always trust the quality and flavor of all Matthew Kenny's brands. This place is one of the best casual take out (can dine in too) vegan places offering ultra fresh, delicious and quality ingredients on my list now! The bowls can be dressed up with diverse and filling nutritious options. My favourite were the broccoli balls (crunchy with seeds) and tumeric rice cauliflower. Everything is free of refined sugar (they use agave or date syrup). My friend and I also had the amazing tea: hojicha latte and eternal focus (their take on caffeine free coffee) which was a mix of lion's mane mushroom, chai, ginger and oat milk. The highlight on top of all was Ahmad the staff onsite. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about the ingredients used. I first ordered the tea then was catching up with my friend, and lost track of time when I wanted to order food (they had out everything away!). He still fixed me up with two amazing bowls! That is top notch service! Definitely highly recommend. Another plus is it's a zero waste concept everything is compostable. Edit: wish they are open on the weekends too!! Very hard to visit during the week. Would love to have the food again

    Excellent bowl with genuine ingredients to eat something healthier, the place is particular but there are quite a few seats, most people eat takeaway. You can choose pre-assembled bowls or customize it according to your preferences, the cost is quite low

    I had the most delicious bowl with beets, broccoli balls, pitaya rice, edamame, beet hummus, kimchi, and mango. To drink I got the chai latte. Everything was very refreshing tasting and so fresh. The atmosphere of the place is really nice as well. There is a good amount of seating as well. Great spot for vegans or anyone wanting a healthy bite!

    Food is nice, but I placed a pickup order an hour in advance and when I arrived was told they didn’t have the ingredients to make what I ordered. Instead of calling me when they realized this, they waited for me to come in and then I had to wait behind other folks to place a new order. The friend I was meeting experienced the same thing, and during our time there, multiple other people came in with the same situation. TLDR—nice food, poor communication, often don’t have the advertised dishes, and mind-numbingly slow service even if you order ahead.

    Great food, however they close 40 mins before actual time and staff is extremely rude. Hope Management can do some training and compliment the wonderful food with decent service

    Food tasted very bland, there wasn't anything redeeming in the bowl I got and my friends who ordered at the same time agreed. Seems like a nice environment, but food could really use an upgrade.

    What an amazing place to eat well and do good. From design, food quality and ethos this place is second to non. Huge fan and will be back here often.

    Had an amazing and nourishing lunch here while walking around the city. The interiors are nice and tranquil. The balance and light bowls were tasty and filling. Happy to stumble across this place. Highly recommend!

    Super salty. Mediocre QSR. Id rather go to the sweetgreens across the street (which isn’t saying much).

    Wow- this place is fire. Their bowls are so good and have such different vibes so you can switch it up and not get sick of the same flavors.

    Had the pleasure of eating at Scen recently. Amazing and knowledgeable team who talked me through the menu, the food was beautiful - make sure you try the bagels!

    Amazing energy and aesthetic, delicious and healthy food and I can't believe the prices - great value! Can't wait to come back and try all the items :)

    I stumbled across Scen on my walk this afternoon, and I am very impressed! I got the power bowl, which was full of flavor and well portioned. The ambiance is also so cute, I wish I brought my laptop to work! Welcome to the neighborhood, scen!

    The first few times I went here were amazing, however the most recent time (yesterday for lunch) was very disappointing. It seemed as if there was someone completely different in the kitchen because everything was nearly inedible. I am going to give this place one more try as the first few times were so good, however I would recommend that you seriously look into quality control as there seems to be a huge gap from day to day.

    Truly exquisite. A culinary experience that is not to be missed. I've been vegan for 2 years and it was such a pleasure to visit New York and experience the epitomization of the hype I have heard about the quality of vegan food in this city!
