One of my favorite spots in West Philly. Always quick and perfectly seasoned food. It has great vegan options and the date night smoothie is a must have drink.

Their portion size is huge for the price!! Generous with their sauces too. The cashier was super sweet and the place looked clean small but clean.

Came for the vegan cheese steak. In the process, fell in love with the jerk seitan platter. I can recommend this without hesitation.

Literally the best vegan jerk I have ever had!!! Menu is so vegetarian friendly, the guy working the counter was super kind and helpful, the food came out pretty quickly for having 2 other people order before us- like 10 or so minutes if that. It was around $30 for 2 people to eat but the portions are very substantial so I wouldn't say it is too expensive for the amount you get (and the quality of it too)!!!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for good vegan eats at a reasonable price :) Made my day

The food is so good, I had the jerk seiten, greens and rice & peas. Oh the green smoothie was delish... I've had the cheesesteak also and it was really yummy. I would absolutely recommend this place!!

I came here for a TooGoodToGo. What I got was good but I didn't feel it was a lot for the program. I got a container of vegetable soup. The juices I had are delicious. People here were efficient but not particularly warm or cold. No seating that I noticed in this area- just order and go. A vegan favorite from years ago for others I have been acquainted with. I hear I should try their Jamaican patties but I will probably avoid TooGoodToGo from here.

Warm and friendly staff and food is very balanced. I love stopping by here for my Jamaican fix whenever I'm in town! I'm partial to the Jamaican jerk tofu/seitan wrap, which comes with brown rice and sautéed greens. The flavor is so balanced.

This was a surprising little spot that I am happy we bumped into on our travels. They provide some healthy options and it was perfect for our vegan/vegetarian palates. The Vegan jerk chicken wrap has some spice to it and was so good. The garden salad wrap was delicious also, my only wish is that I had more of that sesame vinaigrette dressing tossed around in there. We grabbed a piece of bread just because and it was soo good. I'm not a banana bread fan but this one... YES. I can eat that with a hot cup of tea any day. Definitely recommend popping in. Just a note, probably better to take to go there is not a lot of seating. Not good for groups looking to sit on, but good for take out for a group.

I ordered Hibiscus via Uber Eats. I wanted something fresh and healthy. I haven't eaten at this place in a while, so it was a perfect choice to get back to loving their food. They give good portions and good flavors. I ordered the super powers smoothie, garden wrap salad and salmon platter with veggies and jerk sauce. I definitely could've bought two of the super power smoothies because it was so refreshing and tasty. The super power smoothie contains, blueberries, strawberries, antioxidants, gogi berries, sea moss and rice milk. I was initially interested in ordering it because it has the added bonus of sea moss. The smoothie is a beautiful dark red or purple color and has a thick consistency. I couldn't wait to drink it from the look alone. I'm definitely thinking about getting another smoothy soon. Maybe one of their green goddess smoothies. The salad is a very simple and delicious. It has fresh crunchy lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers and avocado and a side of sesame vinegarette dressing. It was wrapped in a tortilla and cut in half. The portions was enough for one hungry person. I also ordered the salmon platter option with brown rice, sautéed veggies and jerk sauce. The jerk sauce was a good flavor and little spicy. The brown rice was accompanied with brown beans and the salmon cooked well. I was given a lot of salmon, enough to share a piece with someone else. The meal was so filling I couldn't eat it all. Wish I lived closer get smoothies everyday. I've never actually went into the store. This is my first time ordering via Uber eats and the previous time someone ordered it for me. Will visit soon!
