The food was so delicious! I have never been to a vegan Dominican restaurant before but I definitely want to go back. Imagine eating an empanada with Mac and cheese in it! Or a burrito with everything like a regular burrito but with Mac and cheese! I have to go back and try more things! And they had games and books to read while you wait, it was such a good experience. Definitely one of my top recommendations!

Can we first talk about the ambience here! It's so magical and pleasing, warm and cozy, green everywhere! My first time here and it was very exciting. Service was top notch! He explained everything to me without me saying it's my first time! The food is excellent! The right amount of everything in pure perfection.

So happy I stopped by...no regrets. You just want to try e everything on the menu, the selection of vegan food is beyond. Customer service is top tier, so patient with me and even suggested top rated dishes. Bottled juice is super refreshing and the space inside is very comfy. I will be adding thos spot to the list for my Brooklyn vegan list.

After a rigorous day of admiring vintage subways and turnstiles at the New York Transit Museum, a hop, skip, and a jump away is a verdant oasis in the concrete jungle – Next Stop Vegan. This is where the beets drop harder than in any Brooklyn club, and the kale is massaged more tenderly than a five-star spa treatment. Upon entering this temple of tempeh tranquility, you're greeted not just with a menu, but with a manifesto that screams 'Plant Power!' Forget the sad lettuce leaf and carrot stick stereotype; this is where vegan cuisine struts its stuff on the culinary catwalk. My adventure began with 'El Plato' – a dish so harmonious, the United Nations could take notes. The portobello mushrooms? Sautéed to such perfection, you'd swear they whispered sweet nothings to the black beans beside them. Next, the Mac & Cheese - a dish that defies all dairy-free logic. It's a creamy, dreamy, 'are you sure this isn't cheese?' masterpiece that could bring world peace if given a chance. Then came the Twisted Burrito, a spectacle of spiraled splendor that's as twisted as a daytime soap opera plot but much more satisfying. Each bite is a plot twist that your taste buds never saw coming. The Empanadas, oh, these golden crescents of joy, were packed with Mac & Cheese that could make a grown hipster weep with joy. It's comfort food within comfort food; it's like Inception, but with dough and no need to wake up. To quench my thirst, the Fresh Passion Guava Juice, a drink so divine, it must be what the gods sip on Mount Olympus while watching vegan cooking shows. And the cast of this culinary show? Blenlly and her team, the maestros of the meatless, the savants of soy, the wizards of wheatgrass. They don't just serve food; they serve smiles, they serve passion, they serve that 'I'll definitely be back' experience. Next Stop Vegan isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination. A place where your palate can backpack through a world of flavors, where every dish is a stamp in your culinary passport. So, fellow travelers on the veggie voyage, make your next stop, Next Stop Vegan. Your stomach will purchase a lifetime ticket.

Feb 2024: 10/10 the energy the service the food very flavorful and lots of depth to the dominan cuisine. It was all made with love and it shows through the care of presentation, service, and seasoning. They have games you can play while you wait. Freshly made drinks and its all vegan people. It is a place where you will be talking about the next week. Highly recommended!

Great food, great service. A welcome addition to Downtown Brooklyn. As someone who (occasionally) works in the area, I was disappointed to see so many great restaurants disappear during the height of the pandemic. Thankfully I’m starting to see signs of culinary life begin to reappear. For my first visit I tried their lunch bowl special: Stewed eggplant, rice, and plantains. At first glance I didn’t think the bowl would be enough food, but after devouring everything in the bowl and sitting and chatting with my coworker for a few minutes, I began to feel satisfied. But I’m greedy, so I also ordered an empanada, which was delicious. The passion fruit drink perfectly complemented the meal vibe. Definitely check this place out if you’re looking for a spot that offers a proper mix of healthy eating and good flavor without the guilt.

edit: been here many times since it opened and the quality is still very good and the food is delicious. first time trying and it was amazing!! the food was delicious and refreshing. the mac & cheese empanada tasted like real cheese and was cooked to perfection. the restaurant was very clean and the server was extremely nice. can’t wait to come back and try other dishes.

I checked out the Next Stop Vegan Brooklyn location, close to the Brooklyn Bridge. I ordered the El Plato (white rice, black beans, soy beef, side salad topped with avocado slices and sweet plantains) and a side of Mac n cheese. Everything was good and flavorful. I will return to check out other items on the menu and highly recommend it. The atmosphere was very relaxing.

Heard about this place on social media and it did not disappoint. A great inclusive staff and amazing service. The food was just amazing. Full of flavor. I can’t wait to go back and try the other items on the menu.

Came here for a quick chill meal because a veggie friend recommended it. The menu has a lot of cool sounding options but we opted for a Philly cheesesteak and the york-mex bowl, as well as a be’f and mac empanada. Everything was super tasty! I actually didn’t realize when I ordered that the cheesesteak was just mushrooms and not even fake meat, but it still tasted super good. The vegan cheese even had a nice melty quality, which I feel like vegan cheese usually can’t do very well. Was really impressed at the quality of the food. The overall vibe inside was nice too, and there was ample seating. Service was also great, the guy behind the register was also the only one serving but he somehow did it all really efficiently. Overall, very impressed! Definitely recommend this place, especially if you’re vegan/vegetarian.

Best vegan food I've ever had. The seasoning is phenomenal. Made me fall in love with plantain. Had both their burger and El Plato and both were mouth-watering. It's a tragedy they don't have any close to where I live (outside the US) but if I ever visit NYC again this will be at the top of my list.

Ambiance: 5/5 The whole interior decor was so calm and aesthetically appealing to the eyes! It felt like a warm hug to be in such space. The exterior appearance could be improved (store front was kinda hard to see from across the street but I bet it would bring in more customers if it had more eye catching effect if you can see it from afar) the interior definitely made up for it! Staff: Super friendly staff!! The cashier was super friendly and funny. We didn’t get the name of the cashier who helped us but thank you for walking us thru the menu. Super helpful. Activities: Cool music playing while you enjoy delicious food. They also have books and board, card games for customers. They also sell shirts and other stuff. Food: A huge fan of the twisted burrito!! The satisfaction was good too. Loved their vegan empanadas. They also have freshly squeezed juices. The passionfruit was so good!! Good luck to the owners!!!! ♥️♥️

So many delicious vegan options! We had the Chimi sandwich and the El Plato—both were amazing. We also had the Yarao empanada whcih was awesome. Even the fries were really great. The person working there was really kind and friendly. The cafe was super cute and clean, and had games (Connect Four, Uno, etc) to play. Highly recommend!

So flavorful and fresh. I’m not vegan but they just make everything look so damn good. It’s amazing. I will def be coming back. Staff is so sweet and helpful. Very chill. Lots of natural light and nice ambient Latin music but not super loud.

Extremely friendly service, good food (certified kosher by IKC!), and fun decor. They even had kid-friendly games available to play while we waited for the food to be prepared. We enjoyed the Yaroa empanada (sweet plantain, “beef,” and “cheese”) and the mac & cheese, but the highlight for me was the BBQ Pulled “Pork” (BBQ Jackfruit w/homemade cranberry coleslaw on a hamburger bun). It was definitely on the sweet side, but that’s just what I was craving 🙂. We ordered the NSV Burrito, Twisted Burrito, and Veganator to go to have for lunch the next day, and they prepared them perfectly (with the sauces and toppings on the side) so we could reheat them and add the sauces ourselves.

Definitely a new favorite! If you are looking for flavorful vegan food this is the place to go

Highly recommend!!! The mofonguitos de carne were delicious I was dancing in my seat eating it the whole time haha It was great to finally taste her delicious food without the long lines and sold out menu by the time I got the chance to order at Vegandale lol The owner herself was there and es un amor ❤️ Can't wait to go back and try something new. Oh and her juices are sooooo good!!!

This place is truly amazing. Great food and customer service!! My boyfriend and I ordered pickup/takeout here for lunch. The food was ready very quickly. We ordered lots of things so we could try a lot. We ordered the mac and beef empanada and the yaroa empanada, both of which were amazing and I will be ordering again! We also ordered the twisted burrito, which had everything on it and was delicious and flavorful! I don’t usually love mushrooms but these were great! The mofongitos de carne were the perfect size and packed with flavor, we also added guacamole to them. Last but definitely not least, the chimi; the chimi sauce was on another level! My boyfriend said it tasted exactly like childhood and eating an OG chimi sandwich. We will definitely be back here frequently!

After work vibes. Stopped by Next Stop Vegan to try out some dishes and ordered the El Plato, which consisted of black beans, brown rice, avocado, plantain, cabbage & a medley of vegetables. We enjoyed it. This is shareable depending on your appetite. It was tasty and quite filling. We had the cauliflower wings, which is breaded cauliflower with different sauces on it, like bbq and hot sauce. It was okay and a light snack to go with the El Plato. We tried the homemade juices and they were okay. Looking to try the Empanadas and burgers next time. So stay tuned. Service was polite, on time, friendly and a reason to go back. They have a points system, so make sure you ask about that and build your points to get a 10% discount when you spend $100. Those are easy points to get even on a first visit.$$. It’s a nice and cozy spot in Brooklyn. Check them out.

Tried it the first time not going back again: Ambiance is great. Very soothing with all the decorations. Food not so good at all. 1 burrito for 18 bucks? That too tasleless? Not worth the price. For the salad (supposed to come with the sandwich, a slice of tomato cut in two halves and shredded cabbage. CABBAGE? WOW! You could add BEANS BUT WHO ADDS MACARONI PASTA in a burrito??

I went here on 2 separate occasions. The food is really tasty. Advice, verify the price because the menu and register may not be the same. It's little challenging order-wise if you are a plant based alkaline person. I ordered the chickpea tuna; it gets a little messy and a little disappointed with the iceberg lettuce and choice of bun. The tostada was off the charts. It was sooo good. The staff is really pleasant and will answer any questions as best they can. Good vibes inside.

Best service in NYC! Stopped here after a quick bite after visiting transit museum- and was blown away by the warm welcome from Wendy. Felt like she invited me to her cozy foliage-surrounded house for a plant based lunch. Not only was she very personable and friendly- but she explained the menu so well that I wanted one of everything. Decided on the Philly cheesesteak and was SOLD! Was so scrumptious, there were only a few fries for leftovers. This place is a hidden gem!

I went today for the first time. The owner is so delightful and she welcomes you with a smile and a warm joyous energy The food was amazing, and it has all the Latino flavors but with a vegan twist. A fantastic addition to the neighborhood. You must try the mofonguitos.

had the lentil empanada and the sweet and spicy oyster mushroom burger and fries. the burger was a little pricy but otherwise food was phenomenal all around. the service was unparalleled and the interior design and atmosphere was superb. definitely would like to come back and try some more options.

It was my first time to this place and I really enjoyed it. The Chimi Sandwich with Fries were Delicious and Amazing. All the veggies that I want! The server was very Nice when she brought out the food. Highly recommend this place for a Vegan Dominican Lunch and Dinner!

Great Restaurant, wonderful atmosphere and decorations, lovely stuff! The food was awesome and you can enjoy delicious meals without a bad conscience! The only point I have to criticize are the paper cups and plastic cutlery. Please switch to using regular cutlery and glasses for the drinks. So we can help the animals AND the environment. Thank you!

My friend and I decided to go to Next Stop Vegan for lunch on a Thursday at 1pm. My friend kept seeing it pop up on Instagram and recommended it. You place your order at the register and then you can either take it to-go or they will bring the food to you at one of the tables. When I arrived, I ordered to grab a table, but most people left after the lunch rush around 2pm. The space has chill vibes and nice decor. I ordered the BBQ Pull Jack sandwich ($14.99) and my friend got the Sweet and Spicy Mushroom Sandwich, which I forgot to take a picture of the menu for the price. Note that if you get takeout from another app like Seamless, the prices are slightly higher. Both dishes came with fries. Flavors were on point for both sandwiches. The best flavor was the mushroom on my friend's sandwich. Also, if you are not a big spice fan, you can still enjoy the mushroom sandwich, since it is a mild kick. I think the fries could use a little more flavor and be more crispy. I understand that the restaurant is in downtown Brooklyn and vegan food tends to be more expensive, but I think the portion size is on the smaller side for the price. Overall, I would definitely recommend Next Stop Vegan, especially if you are visiting the Transit Museum nearby! I would come back to see if their other dishes, especially their Mofongo dishes, have similarly powerful flavors.

After a fun visit to the NYC Transit Museum we decided to walk-in at 12:30 on a decent spring Saturday to this very welcoming restaurant with sufficient indoor and outdoor seating. It's a self-serve setup, so you go place your order and then have seat. We ordered a side of Mac n Cheese ($5.99) for our 3 year old which he enjoyed. We also go the Twisted Burrito ($15.99) and BBQ Pull Pork Sandwich ($13.99) as our mains. Food overall is absolutely excellent. The BBQ sandwich definitely was a lot more on the sweeter side because of the BBQ sauce, but they had plenty of hot sauce Sriracha bottles around that helped me adjust the spice on the sandwich and went really well with the seasoned fries. The burrito was delicious too, but the gluten free tortilla chips that it came with, lacked some sauce on the plate. Probably a complementary service of Guac would've paired really well with it. Service was excellent, noise level average (just background music) and they do have some excellent homemade juices too - costing $7 on an average. Overall, absolutely excellent food!

Amazing food quality, many options the menu, huge portions so with half of it you are full! I recommend even if you are not Vegan!

We have been wanting to come here for awhile and was finally able to come and try the food. Super satisfied with the experience- from ambience all the way to the staff, everything exceeded expectations. Food was spot on and even got to chat with one of the chef, I got the impression from him that it’s a great place to work and it a collaborative kitchen. We will be back many times because we only had 3 items and would like to try them all.

We got: Empanadas Plantano Power Chimi El Plato with Portabello Country Club Fresa Flavor DR drink 10/10 AUTHENTIC DOMINICAN FLAVOR As soon as I walked in I felt at home. Staff was welcoming. Being my first time, the staff took the time to explain the menu thoroughly. They were so sweet. First stop when I’m back to NY.❤️

Yesssss, I loved the food here! The staff is polite and welcoming; the menu offers a great selection of vegan Caribbean food. Everything I ate was delicious, I loved the seasoning. Even my husband that is not vegan enjoyed the food.

The food was absolutely delicious (and pretty may I add), I had the Chimi Sandwich and added bacon and their cranberry coleslaw to it. The bread was light and soft and a bit crunchy and the fries were good as well. The girl who served me at the register was very lovely!
