CG I can't speak highly enough about Simply Green. It's my little piece of heaven when I'm craving good homemade, fresh vegan meals. The atmosphere is so comfortable and pleasant. My family members that aren't vegan love their food too! There have been a couple bad reviews due to people bringing in food from the outside. There is a clearly stated sign on the door stating "No outside food". And that is because of people with gluten allergies, etc. How sad that people behave that way. Awesome place! read more

I wish I lived closer, but honestly, I would probably go broke! I LOVE Simply Green - the family who owns it is so sweet, the servers are attentive and kind, and the food is delicious, healthy, cruelty-free goodness! You do not have to be vegan to truly love this place, but the fact that I can walk in here and eat anything makes my day every time. I highly recommend this place - I keep coming back for more at least once a month from 30 minutes away, and I'm always super happy with my meal! read more

This is an all vegan restaurant with a wide variety of different food options. Always so pleasant when my family and I don't have to worry about making sure our food is completely vegan! The inside is small and very comfortable, it's well kept. Usually when we come we like to sit at one of the booths, but tables are also an option. Service is good too- pretty fast and the people are friendly. Usually I need extra time with the menu so they come back to take my order The portions are very generous and delicious! You can tell that they care about what they give to you. It is fresh too, you can see people making it in the kitchen. Their smoothies are also a big hit in my family. I recommend trying the baked mac n cheese, it is absolutely delicious! My only critique would have to be the prices, the food is very expensive. I have been to other places where it is less pricey and just as good. Otherwise, great place. read more

If you're a vegan or vegetarian in your mid 30s who grew up in this part of Bergen County but has long since moved to NYC this is the perfect place to take your open minded and/or health conscious parents who still live in the area. Searching out vegan comfort food is my life's work and this place has possibly the best vegan mac and cheese I've ever had and the pizza is great also. I don't write many Yelp reviews but this place deserves it. If you are nearby and are reading this definitely go there. read more

This is my favorite new spot. I was there yesterday. The food was outrageously and awesomely great. I got the chick'n parm panini, lentil soup, hummus and my friend got the eggplant parm. I wish I lived closer, but my friend lives near Ramsey. This will be our new place to eat. The staff, maybe owners, where very friendly. I will recommend this place, even to my non-vegan friends. 10 stars is more like it. Yummo! read more

I went here with my mom for Mother's Day lunch. We decided to try here since it was a relatively new place in town. It's a small restaurant and they do not accept reservations. There were 3 young waitresses who greeted us when we walked in and we were told to sit wherever we wanted. There were a decent number of food and drink items available. We had the Energize Sunrise smoothie, which surprisingly was not overly sweet despite the numerous fruit in it. However, we did ask our waitress to not add any additional sugar sweetener. For appetizer, we shared the hummus dish. For entrees we had the Vegana Parmigiana sandwich and the Protein Paradise salad. It took a long time for us to get the hummus and after inquiring about it, we were told that the kitchen was backed up. However, it did come out shortly afterwards but our entrees came out like 5min later. We really wanted to be able to enjoy both dishes but we barely had time to digest the hummus and pita that our entrees were half eaten. I would come back here next time but maybe on a day that's not so crowded. read more

I'm not vegan but my coworker is and thanks to this place, I will happily eat vegan more often!! I had the Po'Boy and it was absolutely delicious. The bread is perfect, the eggplant is crispy, and the combination of the spicy "mayo" and sweet kale slaw was on point. Will be back again! read more

My new go to Vegan restaurant when I'm in the Ramsey/Mahwah area. The food is delicious, I absolutely love the Vegan Parm sandwich. They have a great selection and I can't wait for them to finalize their permanent menu. Staff is very friendly and attentive (which surprisingly is NOT the case at most vegan restaurants I visit) and they always seem to be busy when I stop in. I'm looking forward to my next trip down to Ramsey just so I can stop in for breakfast or lunch. read more

Delicious great food and clean environment!! Good portions to share. The oyster mushroom scampi over linguine has such an amazing flavor!!!!!!!!!! We can't wait to go back and try more recipes. read more

Simply Green Cafe - Vegan Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

We are everything! And it was all amazing! Earth Nectar, calamari, or Caesar Chicken wrap plus buffalo!!

Since I work in the area, I have picked up food a few times. I have had their salads and smoothies and they are amazing. I highly recommend this place to healthy eaters like me. read more

Food was so good! My boyfriend isn't vegan but he enjoyed every bite of his empanadas. Also the staff is super friendly, definitely going back. :) read more

I love this place! Amazing food and service. I haven't had chicken parmigiana is like...15+ years? It was so, so good! Fish taco special was amazing. You MUST try the Caesar chicken wrap. I don't eat many 'fake meats' or things like that, but Simply Green Cafe is a special treat. The Caesar wrap is my fave and I get it often, but I want to try everything! The dinner menu looks amazing, and I am planning to check it out soon. The ladies at the counter are super sweet and helpful. There are a handful of booths and a few tables, seat yourself. They also have tasty dessert treats! They have fresh juice and smoothies, and the salads are amazzzzzing!! I really wish them the best of luck, and hope others take note! This area of NJ is behind the times for being a suburb of NYC. Vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc people are here, and this is just what we are looking for. Check it out - even non-vegans - You will not be disappointed! read more

Amazing amazing vegan food! Couldn't even tell that the chicken parmesan was vegan--it tastes THAT much like real chicken, without the saturated fat, cholesterol and cruelty, of course! Love this place. read more

Omg!!!! To die for vegan food and lots of gluten free options too! And the vegan donuts!!!!!!! Should be called heaven on earth!!!! Best vegan food around including breakfast, lunch, and dinner! read more

LOVE this place. I've been there many many times! So grateful it is in Ramsey!

One of my favorite vegan places. The food here is so good and prepared so well. The servers here are also super sweet. This place gets a 10/10! read more

Most amazing vegan restaurant I've ever been to!! The mac n cheese is impressive. It's vegan - the sauce is made from cashews, not cheese. The penne alla vodka with fried tofu was also delightful! The fried calamari is actually made using mushrooms, and tasted great. The servers made the perfect recommendations for us. Everything was so delicious, and I'll definitely be back to try their breakfast and lunch options. read more

IGNORE THE TROLLS-- THIS PLACE IS THE BEST VEGAN SPOT IN THE AREA!!!! EVEN NON-VEGANS WILL LOVE!! First, I've been going to SG for a couple years now, mostly pick-up but frequent dine in. The food is always DELICIOUS (perhaps TOO delicious. Easy to overindulge... but that's my fault, not theirs :-)) and the service is prompt and courteous. I love the Buffalo Chick'n Wrap for lunch and the Plant Hunter Platter for breakfast (think I'll get that this morning actually... hmmmm). But everything is delicious. Have taken several (skeptical) non-vegan friends there and they all came away super-satisfied! Pro-tip: get the french toast or waffles..... ymmmm!! As I mentioned, it's easy to overindulge here because everything is so tasty-- so like any place, realize "vegan" doesn't necessarily mean eat-as-much-as-you-can. Oreos are vegan too, after all. That said, they also have lots of oil-free choices which are healthier options. But that's the thing, right: you go vegan for at least one of two reasons: health or compassion. SG is definitely primarily, but certainly not SOLELY, geared toward the compassion end, with many American favorites (See: chicken wrap above) created cruelty-free. If you are looking for celebrity chef-style haute cuisine or something like that, this isn't it. Nor does it need to be... or even claim to be. This is terrific comfort food. Take it for what it is. As of this writing, SG has an average rating of 4.5 stars. So that's good. Unfortunately, there's a few trolls lurking in the midst here. I suspect some may suffer from separation anxiety or some other form of trauma. I hope they find the medication they so desperately deserve. Let's look at the main issues they crawled out of their caves to croak about: 1) Service 2) Ambiance 3) Healthiness of the food 4) Price Let's take these one at a time: 1) Service: I've NEVER had bad service here. EVER. I'm not exactly sure what people are talking about. The place is on the smaller side, maybe a dozen tables. But the place is clearly family run, a few people in the back of the house, one or two in the front. That's what I would expect and any more would be overkill. Honestly, I'm not sure what the service expectation is here. Maybe someone snapped their fingers and they were upset because the server was taking an order and didn't hear? Maybe they went the one time the place had unexpected demand? Whatever. I've never experienced anything like this in more than a dozen times there. 2) Ambiance: One toady troll said, "The environment was below average given that there was no music, food on the floor, and you could hear the orders being called through the whole space." First, I've never seen food on the floor but conveinently, this toad posted no pictures as evidence. The rest is pretty comical. This is basically a small diner and any place this size will have the issues she described (not that I ever noticed them myself or even cared to pay attention to them.) It's a single room and it's not a night club. You order a sandwich, you eat it and you leave. Get over yourself. 3) Healthiness of the food: I believe I discussed this above but I'll dive a little deeper. One reviewer said this, "You can market yourself as healthy but when your serving coated, pre/seasoned frozen French fries out of a bag to fry them." First, while I don't think they market themselves as UNhealthy-- nor should they, it would be incorrect-- this isn't a health spa. Again, the majority of the offerings are comfort food which required zero cruelty to create it. People looking for those options maybe they grew up on but who don't want to kill animals to do it will love this place. There are healthier options as well, of course, but they aren't the main reason you go here. I myself am largely vegan who went plant-based for health reasons (I wear leather belts and shoes) so I appreciate the healthier options here like the tofu platters. There's something for everyone. You just have to know what you are asking for. 4) Price: I found one troll talked about how overpriced this place is. I've always found the prices to be quite reasonable and coming from Manhattan as I do, which ironically apparently even this reviewer is from, the prices are downright cheap! With tip my wife and I usually walk out of there paying around $15 per person give or take, though we often do add ons here and there which can take it above that and we still never have sticker shock. If $15/pp for dine-out mean is "outrageous" to you, I suggest you explore better career options. Side note: I find it amazing how online trolls will have some strange expectation not met at a tiny family-run place and go flame them on the internet. I feel bad for the owners having put all this time, money, blood and sweat into this vision for compassionate food everyone can enjoy and them some doofus with a smartphone decides it's time to express their unaddressed emotional issues against small business owners. Get a life. read more

Love this place! Staff is so friendly and the food is to die for!! Sometimes I just wish they were open a little later than 4pm on certain days. read more

This place is amazing! An extensive menu of vegan food that you really can't get anywhere else. The owners and staff are super nice and helpful too. I wish I lived closer because I'd be here all the time! read more

Loving this new Vegan spot! Great variety of plant based foods for everyone to enjoy. my non-vegan friend loves this cafe! My favorite is Skyline salad with warm pita. It's Delicious! Also, the tofu scramble platter with plant "hunter" is awesome. Can't wait to go back for more! read more

So excited to have this cafe near me. The potato pancakes and eggplant sandwich were amazing!

Went to try this restaurant today. The staff is very nice and pleasant (thats why the 2 stars) but extremely slow. There were only two other tables with people, so it wasn't because they were busy. First, our coffee was never refilled after the first pour. Second, we found a small piece of plastic paper in the last quarter piece of my breakfast quesadilla, which I very quietly brought to the waitress' attention. Lastly, they never offered to take my breakfast off the bill. We left our usual 20% tip and left without a word. Unfortunately for them, we will not be returning. read more

My absolute favorite place! Amazing food- Service- Atmosphere. This is exactly what Ramsey needed!

Fantastic food, really great people working there, and walking in ordering take out it was ready so fast!

Love this new place! The food is great and the prices are right! Skyline salad is my fav so far and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Owner is very chill too! My daughter loves it here and jumps for joy when I tell her we're going to the "vegan place" read more

Great menu, made to order, and plenty of options for those gluten free! Plus my gluten/cheese loving boyfriend loved it ;)

Whether you follow a vegan diet or not, this food is delicious to anyone with taste buds! Such a great selection of food- there really is something for everyone on the menu whether you want sweet or savory! We came on a Saturday morning for brunch, and had a great dining experience. Hunters platter, breakfast burrito, and Oreo protein pancakes were ordered--and each was delicious! The service was great too. Give this place a go! read more

Simply Green Cafe - Hunters Tofu Scramble Platter - Vegan Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

Delicious vegan sandwiches as well as coffee with your choice of soy, oat, or almond milk!

I cannot believe a place of this high caliber is in a little tiny strip mall in northern jersey. I work nearby and often get takeout from here during lunch. Every item on the menu is phenomenal. EVERY ITEM. My non vegan coworkers are SHOCKED when they order from here... its so so good and so inclusive. Thank you, please open more locations. read more

So very excited that we have a vegan restaurant in the area. More excited that it is DELICIOUS! Heather and her Dad are putting their hearts and souls into making great food. We had the tofu scramble and the eggplant. The sweet potato fries were so good (we never get to eat fries anywhere, such a treat!). We will be going back often. Need to try everything. Check it out. read more

Best vegan breakfast sandwiches I ever had! I drive nearly 40 mins to get it and IT IS WORTH IT! Little tip.. ask for everything bagel seasoning on the sandwich. Life changing. read more

Tried this place for the first time. I'll be back over and over again. There aren't enough restaurants like this in NY/NJ period. Wish they came to Hoboken, they would crush it there. read more

So I was super excited about this location, being vegan since June 2018 I try to find as many vegan restaurants as possible. I walk in, and there is one person taking care of everyone in the building whilst holding a baby. Cute baby. But that has to be tough to maintain a specific standard. I also noticed there was no music whatsoever, it was a bit of an awkward environment with everyone having quiet conversations. I had seen on the menu they offered mozzarella sticks which grabbed my attention because I haven't had any since i went vegan, so I wanted to try these vegan versions they offered. The waitress/cashier/idk what other hat she wore brought out 4 mozzarella sticks with a huge marinara (unnecessary) portion. It was okay, it tasted more like tofu than anything, nothing to write home about. I then perused the menu and didn't really see anything I hadn't seen before but I wanted to take advantage of being here since it is pretty far from where I live. I decided on the Cheeseburger Empanadas with fries. The portion was about a 6 dollar portion size, not 9.75 worth. It wasn't spectacular, just felt like I was mainly eating grease. The silverware was blotchy and not very pleasing to the eyes. The water cup looked dirty, or way too old and I wasn't even sure if it was tap or filtered. I hope it was filtered. When I finally finished the bathroom was not well maintained. I went to the counter to pay my bill and I was charged 20$ total. The cheeseburger empanadas like I said were about a 6 dollar portion and i was charged 8 dollars for 4 measly mozzarella sticks. I paid and gave my 20 percent tip because I know what the service industry is like and even if the service isn't up to par 20 percent should always be given. All in all I gave 2 stars because I love vegan spots otherwise it would of been 1. I doubt I'll ever come back to this location but I do hope this review helps them up their restaurant etiquette and professionalism. And maybe adjust the inflated prices? Once again cute baby, not worth 24 dollars. The experience was lackluster and disappointing. read more

Amazing vegan breakfast. I got the summer special smoothie, vegan veg sandwich, and cup of fruit with seeds and nuts. All top notch- sandwich reminds me of jersey classic breakfast. Staff was friendly and they have a gender neutral bathroom read more

What an awesome vegan spot! I'm not vegan but I love their sandwiches and smoothies. Po Boy, eggplant parm, and the philly are my faves!
