I came in and ordered the chocolate cake and the mac n' cheeze. The cake was really most on the inside, almost pudding like and the corners were crispy which I thought was interesting. It was more like chocolate bread with frosting. I do think they put too little frosting on so a big slice. The ratio needs to be more equal. As for the Mac, it was horrible. I think mac should be saucy and cheesy but this was the opposite. It needed some seasonings. But I with saying all of this, I would give this spot another try. read more

Delicious !! Amazing ! I wish I lived near by and could eat from here more often ! What a great lunch spot or place to grab food and hit the trails !!! read more

DELICIOUS!!! What a gem !! The perfect place to grab lunch and food to take on your hikes in the state parks !! I can't wait to try more items for the menu ! It's very clean in here + smells like good food! The chicpea wrap and the buffalo Mac are the bomb! read more

Never disappoints! Especially love the buffalo sliders and chicken parm! Happily drive out of our way to grab takeout.

Well we may disagree on whether Pats or Gino's has a better cheesesteak, but I'm sure we can agree that the Freakin' Vegan got the best vegan cheesesteaks around! I love the name! I appreciate the vegan menu! I recently went vegan after learning animal agriculture is the leading cause of climate change and also realized that animals are sentient beings. Also eating meat is the cause of a lot of illnesses. I was able to order right from Yelp and use apple pay to pay for my pickup order. The food was ready on time. They offer curbside pickup and have different delivery options. There's currently no tables to dine in because of Covid. Saving the world is expensive! 16$ for a cheesesteak and 6$ for Mac n cheese is pretty steep, but the portions are big so I saved 1/2 for tomorrow's lunch. They were both delicious as well! I'm a little too cheap to eat here regularly, but I'll definitely be back to try some more items and I recommend that you stop eating animal products and check them out too! read more

Love the vibe and the owner. If you are looking for delicious comfort food, this is the place for you. Must try!

This place is hands down delicious. My first day on my vegan journey and I felt so inspired and motivated to do this change. The vegan queso was actually better than normal queso. The guac was delicious and I overall have no complaints. The service was good and my 6 yr old even ate everything (as picky as she is). I will absolutely be going back. Also, the calamari was made from mushrooms and it tasted like actual calamari. I loved it. read more

Who knew vegan food could be not only healthy but also delicious? What a find! There are so many options, and each is worth trying. My husband and I have tried many of the selections. Each is fresh and tastes terrific. It's not heavy, and it's healthy. The owner and manager are committed to making customers happy. read more

wonderful people, wonderful food. It makes me feel good to patronize a compassionate enterprise.

I Just tried the cutlet hero and it was delicious. It's exactly what you'd expect from a cutlet sandwich. The "chicken" was thin and crisp. Absolutely not greasy at all. Everything was fresh and in perfect proportion. I Can't wait to try the rest of the menu! read more

Freakin' Vegan - Cutlet sandwich - Vegan Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

I have been wanting to try this spot for so long and I finally got the chance. I called in my order of the chic'ken cutlet sandwich and yes it's 100% vegan. When I arrived I parked locally on the street. I walked in and a man that was cutting up food asked if he could help. I told him my name and he said a few more minutes. My food came out about 3 minutes later. I paid a little over $17 and left. When I got home I dug in. The sandwich was huge. It had a good taste to it as well. I definitely would like to try more things at this restaurant. read more

5 stars is for the food !!! It's a take out spot I had the Cheesesteak and I can honestly say it was better than a Philly made with meat !!!! The corn tamales was out of this world when I think Vegan I think Straight veggies but this place lets you have your cake and eat it too thanks I'm a FAN !!! I drove past and it's empty goodbye delicious vegan food read more

First off I wanna say that wow! This location has adorable decor and I was very pleased by how clean and organized the inside looked. They don't have dine in so it's pick up only. The food my partner and I got was their Philly Cheesesteak, their bbq Mac and cheese, two of their desserts from gonepie (the peanut butter brownie and cowboy), and their cheesy bbq waffle sandwich! We did not get to take photos of our food because we were very hungry so I apologize however I will still deliver this review: Here's my thoughts: Philly cheese steak: amazzzzinggg! This sandwich was extremely flavorful and even my bf was surprised it was vegan since he himself isn't. The portion size was also very good since he got full off of just half of the sandwich (it was a "hero" size so think subway but bigger). Cheesy bbq waffle sandwich: so yummy. I was thrown off at first because it looked like a regular sandwich on a roll when I unraveled it so I wondered "where's the waffle fries?" But once I took a bite I was met with a cheesy goodness and fries that brought a happiness to both my tummy and face. The bbq chicken tasted just like the real thing if not better honestly, and I enjoyed the coleslaw since it created a nice crunch with the whole sandwich. Bbq mac and cheese: I'll be honest I had high hopes for this item but was a bit disappointed because while the portion size for the Mac was good, I felt that (1) it lacked a bit with the cheese since it didn't feel like a traditional Mac and cheese compared to the vegan ones I've had and (2) the bbq chicken while it was yummy with the sauce, once you finished the smaller portion of that you're basically left with just the Mac. I would recommend they consider adding more chicken to the meal considering the Mac and cheese by itself is $6 so by default (given the price of the bbq chicken option being $12) the assumption is that you're paying $6 for the chicken add on (which isn't a issue but considering the portion you get I feel it isn't as worth it). Nonetheless though I really enjoyed this dish but would skip it next time I visit. The deserts: We had such high hopes for these as they looked delicious but unfortunately we agreed that the texture of the chocolate fudge at the bottoms had a strange texture once chewed that felt grainy and wasn't what we anticipated it to be like. The peanut butter one had a chocolate layer at the top of it that was yummy with the peanut butter but the grainy-like texture just made it hard for me personally to enjoy it for what it was. The cowboy had yummy sprinkles and a mint candy in the center that my bf enjoyed but after a few more bites he said the same issue persisted where it didn't feel as flavorful. Overall would we visit again? Yess! There's so many items to choose from their menu and I want to definitely do reviews/take some photos of my food next time. The workers there too I almost forgot to mention are very kind and speak Spanish incase you struggle with English or want to bring your family to try vegan food. Highly recommend you visit and try even the dishes that we critiqued because everyone's tastes are different. Only giving 4/5 because of the issues mentioned but those other food dishes were perfect read more

This plant based vegan takeout spot is small and mostly for takeout, but plenty of food options!!!! I tried the broccoli & cheese empanada- it was a bit soggy but tasty. Mushroom empanada was decent. The cheesesteak was ABSOLUTELY amazing and is a must try !!!! I am still raving about how good it was - meat was crispy and cheese was so tasty! read more

Tried the buffalo and BBQ sliders from freakin vegan at the NJ vegfest. They were tasty, but veryyyy pricey. Not sure if these prices were standard for their restaurant or special pricing just for the expo. They had a bunch of other comfort food options that also smelled great! read more

Absolutely love this place. The owner was there when we placed our first order. Very friendly, professional staff. A wide variety of options, and generous portions. The philly cheezesteak was amazing! We'll be back! read more

Wow! This place is awesome. I am not vegan but as someone with an anaphylactic allergy to some non-vegan foods it's very hard finding places I can eat with certainty. Naturally I called and asked some questions, I was amazed at the understanding and assurance that I received from the owner about this places dedication to being all plant based and vegan with no possible cross contamination. I ordered the buffalo mac and cheese, waffle fries pulled pork sandwich for myself, and a chicken parm sub for my non-food restricted boyfriend. I am blown away by how good my food is. My boyfriend couldn't believe it wasn't chicken after trying it! Overall the food is VERY good and this place has great service!! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. Owner is amazing and food is outstanding! My favorite is the chickpea 'tuna', although the mash potato bowls are a guilty pleasure as well. read more

Ok, I am not the vegan here my wife is but the cheesesteak was excellent. The bread which is essential to an excellent sandwhich was outstanding. My wife loved her empanadas. We will be heading. We took our food and went down to the Great Paterson falls. Two firsts made our day. Greg G read more

I can stop going to this place they just opened in Cliffside Park location and I have not had a bad selection yet.... If you're Vegan or not hands down the best fast food in town :-) read more

Found this place while googling for a vegan food option and came across this place. I am not vegan but my boyfriend is so this was a great option for him. We got the buffalo chicken mac and cheese and cheesesteak empanadas. As someone who isn't vegan, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The service was great! Super friendly and quick! read more

The owner, Kurt, is absolutely the nicest guy ever. As nice as he is, if you can imagine, the food is even better. The empanadas are so fresh, the chick pea salad wrap, & Mac n cheese are amazing. If you're in Ridgewood, this place is a must for every meal! read more

My daughter and I drove 40 minutes to try the vegan menu here last week and it was well worth the drive. We sampled the cheesesteak (in the photo), thin crust pizza, corn tamales and macaroni and cheese. The cheesesteak was amazing. The pizza was too but we did have to put in the oven to get it super crispy because the dough was too doughy for our liking. The Mac and cheese was one of the best vegan versions we ever had. My daughter inhaled the tamales they were seasoned perfectly. Would easily drive here once a week for that cheesesteak. Also the guy behind the counter was super friendly and their menu is varied enough that we are looking forward to going back soon to try other items. 100% recommend! read more

I do not eat vegetables but I absolutely love this place. Everything is so delicious. The Mac and cheese is divine.

I was just about to post about how good the cheesesteaks are when I saw that a bunch of people already posted about how good the cheesesteaks are. Still, this place has the best vegan cheesesteak in NJ. I bet everything else is good too, but I haven't been able to summon the will power to not order their amazing cheesesteak. read more

Get the cheese steak! The onions are caramelized, and the bits of pepper and cheese sauce are delicious. It comes on a crispy loaf that I could eat by itself. 10 out of ten! My non vegan fam loved it too. Order ahead so you don't have to wait when you get there. Their Buffalo chicken sliders were awesome too. They were spicy with fresh coleslaw on bakery like buns. read more

Tried for the first time and really liked it. Got the chickn parm sandwich. Owner was friendly and informative when I asked questions.
