Peacefood Cafe

Peacefood Cafe is one of New York City’s most established and well-loved vegan restaurants, operating two locations across Manhattan: one in the Greenwich Village and Union Square area and one on the Upper West Side. Founded with a mission to share the joys of vegan cuisine with everyone, Peacefood has built a loyal following over the years by combining wholesome, thoughtfully prepared plant-based food with a warm, community-oriented atmosphere. The restaurant holds both kosher and RAM vegan certification, making it a trusted choice for a wide range of dietary requirements including vegan, gluten-free, and raw food preferences. The extensive all-day menu features a broad selection of sandwiches, salads, grain bowls, hot entrees, and daily specials, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Standout offerings include a celebrated raw lasagna, a chickpea burger, and a variety of house-made pastas and stews. The in-house bakery produces an impressive array of vegan pastries, cakes, cookies, and desserts, including a fan-favourite raw key lime pie and banana bread, all made without any animal products. Fresh-pressed juices and smoothies round out the beverage menu. Both locations offer dine-in, takeout, and delivery options, and the cafes are popular for casual lunches, relaxed dinners, and weekend brunch. Peacefood has consistently been ranked among the best vegan restaurants in New York City by major food publications and review platforms.
