I am whole foods plant-based, although sometimes I cheat. If I lived closer to this place, I would never cheat. Everything is amazing and the caring and kindness with which it's made makes it even better. I love this place and wish I didn't live over an hour away. I don't think you need to be vegan or a raw vegan to enjoy the food. I also enjoy spending time in the comfy seating and enjoying the surroundings. read more

Great options for vegans and vegetarians. Super healthy choices for food and smoothies. The owner and staff have great energy too.

Only had delivery but was amazing and reasonable priced. Nothing was undercooked or slimy

The most UNUSUAL menu in the area! If you are looking for RIDICULOUS! healthy...try this raw food. I stopped on the square near the Kirby for lunch with a few friends. Not really equipped for inside dining here. I recommend take out. That being said, the food was different but EXCELLENT! Service was exceptional, taking the time to explain process and ingredients. A new "restaurant" in the works located in Luzerne. I am looking forward to many meals at that location when it opens. STAY TUNED! read more

Amazing people and food!! All made fresh and delicious. Try to blue bowl. So good!!

We are visiting family and I was so craving healthy vegan food!! Was so impressed by Danielle and this amazing gem. Everything was so good and the service was top notch. I wish I would have taken more pictures of my food. It was too good not to eat it all!!! The atmosphere was super cute as well. I felt like I was at home. I will definitely be back to try more of all her delicious raw vegan meals!!!! If you are looking for high quality eats and service stop here!!! Go Raw!!!! read more

A gift to yourself. This wonderful place is nourishment personified. Always consistently delicious.

Unique delicious and healthy. Best to order for takeout. I wish there was a place like this near my home!

Amazing. It's a dream to have a place like this in the area, it's hard to come across. Food is fresh and yummy. The owner is an absolute doll. She is friendly and welcoming to everyone and anyone who enters her establishment. It's nice to sit down and read books from the library that they have while you wait. I recommend this place 100%! read more

I'm a huge meat aficionado, sampling BBQ, tacos, and steaks on four continents and numerous islands, countries, and states. So when the restaurant with the highest star rating was vegan, I was intrigued. I chatted with the owner, and he recommended the tacos. I placed an order, and was blown away. If I had not known that they were vegan, I likely would not have guessed. They tasted better and meatier than some of the tacos I've had out there, and that is impressive. Enchanted by the magic, I decided to try the tuna. While quite good, I could definitely tell that it was not tuna. I then chowed down a couple of the chocolate cookie dough balls, which while a bit dry, were delicious with a gulp of water. If I am ever in the area, I'm certainly coming back, as great food without the guilt, is a great thing. What is even more impressive, is that 6 hours later, I still did not feel hungry. I wish they would franchise, and open up nationwide, as the the place would do really well anywhere. read more

An easy five star review. Unique friendly and fun Great books to read while there too. read more

My daughter always brings me to vegan restaurants and every time I think, here we go...more crunchy granola food..and every time I get way better than I expect. This place says it all for itself. I have never seen any restaurant with so many 5 star reviews. The place is adorable, makes you feel like you are at home eating. We tried so many different things...a avotiser, quesadilla and a BLT...yep, vegan bacon folks. You will see what they are on the menu, but the avotiser is an avocado taco, delish...the vegan bacon is made with eggplant. I was so impressed with the operation...all these food dehydrators line the kitchen and when they are making it , the whole place smells like bacon. The flavoring is just like it and texture is almost like the real thing. I love real bacon but avoid it because of the calories and nitrates, but you can go crazy with this stuff. read more

In love with Nucleus and was even better than expected. Just moved to the area down from Burlington VT and we've been searching for quality fresh food options to go. Happy that we found nucleus. The tacos are amazing, the meat substitutes are delicious, and the veggies are so tasty too. Try it for yourself! read more

Such a nice find. I'm a vegan but don't have much experience with raw food. The food is interesting. It's a whole different thing than we are used to, but it's pretty tasty. The people are very, very nice here and the prices are based in reality, which is nice. Sometimes these raw food places are super expensive for not a lot of food. I had the "cheese sandwich," which really isn't a sandwich at all, but more of a big cracker with lots of really tasty fresh food on top. Loved it. Surprisingly filling too. I'll be stopping in again without a doubt. read more

Nucleus Raw Foods - It's really easy to miss this place. They need a bright colorful sign so badly. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Luzerne, Pennsylvania

Apple based juices are amazing. Banana based smoothies are thick and sweet. This area needs a place like this. Where else can you get a $17.00 glass of quality juice? A jar? A pouch? Don't forget he puts quality filtered water in his smoothies to give you that perfect level of thickness required by a true smoothy artist(not too thick). Ask for your drinks to stay at the restaurant and save landfill garbage by getting it in a mason jar or order some of his imported cashews in a to-go pouch. In one word VALUE. You get what you pay for. If health and vitality opened a restaurant it would be a lot like this one. This place is growing and expanding because of the benefits it brings to the community. Everyday is better than the next and I can't wait to see what's around the corner. enjoy! read more

So happy to find a raw vegan place here while on vacation! The team was super friendly and recommended yummy juices. Per yelp's recommendations, I got the tacos, and they did not disappoint!! Walnut meat with a vegan cream sauce and fresh tomatoes. We brought my great uncle because he loves fresh veggies and he loved it. The books, games, and piano bring a homey laid back feel. We actually had to double back because I forgot my purse and the ladies had saved it in the back and made sure I matched the ID. Wonderful food. Wonderful team. Wonderful atmosphere. A must visit. read more

I had to drag my wife here, as she isn't a big raw food fan. However, she had the tacos and absolutely loved them! I had the nucleus burger which was also delicious. The zucchini bread bun was amazing. Both staff members also checked on us to make sure everything was good. Overall, nucleus was awesome, I wish I lived in the area so I could come here more often. read more

Probably the most interesting spot in Luzerne County. 100% Raw, Vegan, Organic, Gluten free, and soy free. Everything is made from scratch. Smoothies are hands down the best in the area, and probably best in on the east coast honestly. The food is very good, but probably unlike anything you've had before so don't be scared to try it. Definitely do not miss if you are in NEPA. read more

Healthy snacks.. variety of options regarding juice and smoothies..all natural and relaxing environment

Tacos. Raw tacos. Raw tacos that are crunchy and delicious. Crunchy as in the chew but also crunchy hippie. Honestly, I don't know this area but didn't expect this jam in my pass through. We got a few smoothies (which were at discount for Christmas in July) some veg burgers.... and the tacos. Those crunchy delicious tacos. There are some books and puzzles around the quaint, cozy sitting area that I definitely fooled around with. I could see myself here again to try some of their other foods as it took me quite some time to make a decision, even with their help. I would probably recommend the tacos. read more

Sorry, but this place stinks. Literally....like old bananas. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, even if they were vegan. Fruit flies everywhere. My "burger" was like eating raw bread dough with a mixture of seeds and milk. It was awful. The flavor was worse. It tasted like the smell of school paste. The idea of fresh, vegan, raw foods is great, but this just wasn't good. read more

I have absolutely no idea how one manages to make raw vegan food taste as good as they do here. I mean seriously, raw tacos? With walnut meat?? Ingenious. Honestly this place is fantastic. The inside is adorable, the owners were happy to explain the menu to a first time customer, and the food is fantastic. It's a shame this place is in the back-ass of Luzerne because I'm certain that it would be all the rage if it had a bit more publicity. read more

This place was great! Great food and staff. My favorite was the juice, had to take some home!

This place is awesome !! I love to have the green smooth and house salad is the best !! All food is good and natural also recommend chocolate and strawberry - Love the Cinnabon smoothie for breakfast Burger and crab cakes are awesome food makes me so happy when I eat here I have energy for days! The owner is kind hearted and has some really cool "rocks" ... Love this place ! read more

Super friendly staff and the food is amazing! I really wish we had a place like this in Pittsburgh!

All I can say is.. YUM! The staff is so friendly and helpful. I got the acai smoothie and the zucchini noodles with avocado. Both were outstanding and I can't wait to try their vegan tacos! They also have dog friendly outside seating for the warmer months so my little guy can come along next time! read more

By far the best vegan/raw food restaurant I've been to, and I'm from California (where they are on every corner). Every meal I've had is phenomenal. And the prices are unbeatable for the quality of food. The service staff is so friendly and helpful. Ask for the buffalo sauce, it goes well with just about everything. read more

What a treat to find this on yelp. I don't get a chance to eat raw as often as I like and wish this place was near me in Florida. I had the sushi appetizer. Wow crisp, cold and delicious. Tasted like sushi and was amazing. Had a spicy sandwich and it was delicious and filling. Followed that up with the chocolate bon bons. Came back in and bought 2 more containers to go. Apart from the food the vibe and welcoming nature of the owner was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the music and all around feeling of this place. Definitely worth the drive if you are finding on yelp like I did. read more

Hands down, this is my favorite vegetarian / raw / vegan restaurant. It's really tasty, healthy food that you feel so good about eating. For this quality and type of food, the prices are reasonable and the staff knowledgeable and very friendly. I usually go for the avocado sandwich and lasagna and split it with someone. The smoothies make for a great dessert too. I wish them success in the future because they really deserve it! read more

I live 1 hour away from this place and it's worth the drive. It was my first time eating at a completely raw vegan place, and my experience was amazing. The food was delicious and the staff were so nice and helpful. I ordered Ray's Smile salad and a Nucleus Juice. It was AMAZING! The ambience is very homey and everyone that comes in are super friendly also. Great place to sit down and eat something delicious and healthy. read more

So glad to find this gem! Three of us stopped in for lunch. I had a migraine and the "Be Here Now" (lemon ginger apple juice) wiped it out.

Amazing food with a cool comfy vibe. I ordered the original tacos and a nucleus juice. Both were so fresh and delicious. I think anything you order here will not disappoint and the best part is that you just feel so good after eating these healthy raw foods. The woman behind the counter was also so nice and passionate about the work she does there. Too bad I live in NY otherwise I'd be here every week. read more

Absolutely delicious! On our last visit we ordered two of the build a dish w/avocado on a bed of greens, an avotizer and a quesadilla. Everyone there is always super friendly and helpful. It's super hard not to order one of everything off of the menu. Try the mini coconut macaroons at the counter. They're always great. The smoothies are also wonderful. So glad to have a place like this so close to home. A place w/great, friendly service and delicious, thoughtful, well made food. I can't wait to go back and get a build a dish with zucchini ribbons and walnut taco meat!! Try this quaint place. You will be glad you did! read more
