The Vegan Garden was at an event serving samples of their products. OMG! With flavors like that, I can immediately turn vegan! The kung pao chicken over rice was sooooo good! I have to admit, I went back several times to try this dish. The business card that I picked up didn't tell me what their business model was... catering? restaurant? what?! So, I looked up their website and found out that they sell pre-cooked packaged food and ship it to your home. All you do is microwave the food in a bag. Wow! That's actually interesting. This concept got my noggin thinking... In late March, I'll be staying home for several weeks and won't be able to do my usual restaurant hops and check-in's. I'm pretty sure I'll be requiring their service by then. Plus, that kung pao chicken is calling my name again... For now, I'll keep them bookmarked and will be in contact with them for some delicious vegan food. read more

I have yet to figure out why The Vegan Garden has such negative reviews!! They are not the most appetizing looking thing when you first take them out of the box but boy do they not disappoint once cooked! I've had the pleasure of trying the dinner and breakfast package and everything has been great! Some of the complaints I read were that they were full of salt. The nutrition information is on each package and I haven't seen any meal with more than 400mg of sodium. I'm super sensitive to salt too and my fingers swell up if I eat too much of it. In addition to the low salt there is low sugar, healthy ingredients and it tastes great! I haven't tried all my meals yet but so far I haven't had anything that isn't delicious! I've tried other meal services and the vegetarian options are always carb heavy- not with Vegan Garden! They offer some carbs coupled with a lot of veggies! And the calorie count is so reasonable! I don't feel guilty eating the meal when it's around 200 calories whereas other services are around 500 per serving. My only feedback is that the paper that the muffins are baked in is very thin which makes the muffins tricky to get out of the paper without some paper sticking to the muffin. You will eat some paper. I'm very glad that I gave them a ty despite reading the reviews and being very wary. In terms of delivery everything came as described and on time! Not a single complaint with the delivery process! They email you telling you it's on it's way so you know exactly when to expect everything! It may sound like I work for them but I don't! I'm just a happy customer who stumbled across the company on Groupon and I am so glad that I did!! Almost forgot that so far every meal I have eaten is in My Fitness Pal!! Makes it so easy! Thank you Vegan Garden!! read more

The Vegan Garden - Minestrone with lentils, kale and a lot of other things - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Hayward, California

Everything has been delicious in my kick starter order. I'm surprised how filling it is when it comes looking small vacuum packed and frozen. It's also super low fat and sodium yet very tasty. And, everything tastes so fresh! The vegetables and mushrooms are as if just cooked. The only 2 negatives is the price (especially with added shipping) and that it comes in styrofoam. read more

Food is very tasty, company responded to my inquiry quickly, everything is fresh and ready to eat after quick heating. Food was completely thawed but cool to touch, safe to eat regardless and i experienced no problems with the food quality. 5 stars if delivery could be faster! read more

This place is the best!!!!! I did their 21 day juice/smoothie cleanse first, and lost 18 lbs initially. Then went back and bought additional juices, and after 2.5 months I'm down 26 lbs. They are SUPER accommodating, nice, good people (especially Martina) and allowed me to mix and match the flavors I liked best too!! Their juices/smoothies are VERY filling and taste delicious. The only flavor I wasn't a fan of was their beach potato one, because I'm not a big fan of butternut squash in my smoothies. If you're contemplating juicing, and don't really know what you'll like or if you can do it, DO NOT question any longer and order from The Vegan Garden! I promise, you won't regret it. read more

The Vegan Garden is the BEST! At first I was skeptical when receiving my first order of food and the packaging; however once I opened and ate each and every packaged food item, I was pleasantly surprised !!! Each item was deliciously made and seasoned well! And let me not forget about the Protein Smoothies! They are wonderful and so delicious :-) I am a lifetime fan and already made my 3rd purchase! The staff is warm and so accommodating! Martina is wonderful! read more

My initial review was removed because I 'promoted' too many alternatives to this smushy mess. So resubmitting just to inform/warn you of how bad this 'food' is; This is the grossest thing I've ever eaten, and a really poor introduction to vegan meals for anyone who doesn't know any better. Looks like astronaut food, comes out soupy, soggy, runny, salty, grainy. Not even worth even the groupon price. I've actually TRIED to make meals out of this food, but it's so so so so bad. I ended up turning to junk food to wash out the weird taste it left in my mouth. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. read more

I ordered 2 meals to be delivered. All I got was a confirmation email. I didn't get a email saying when it would be delivered. I emailed saying I wanted to cancel the order the next day. I got no response after emailing 4 times! Beware this company is a scam! They will take your money! read more

Okay, so I don't usually write reviews, but there is a lot going in the meal delivery game, and this is the best option I've found. First, I don't want to cook anything, so many of the companies out there are off the table for that issue alone. Other companies do automatic shipping, which I NEVER allow as stopping it can be a major pain, and these companies also send at least a couple of weeks at a time. I don't have that kind of freezer space. I can order two months of food from here, pay, have it shipped every week, and then reorder if I want without having to try to shut down the automatic order. I have not found this option with any other vegan food delivery company. If you're looking for fresh vegan food, this is not it as it IS frozen. And, no, it's not like going to a gourmet vegan restaurant. However, this serves the purpose if you are looking to eat a vegan diet, need convenience, and want portion control. I bought a couple of weeks to try before going into the two month plan, and the food is good. The mac and cheese is delicious, as are the other entrees, and the smoothies are fabulous. Brown rice is never sent as an entree. It goes with another entree. This totally works as a diet plan or a backup to ensure sticking to a vegan diet. read more

I hated the meals. I wonder how frozen food can be called "clean food". It didn't even taste like real food. The juice was OK. Cookies good but overpriced. I threw everything out. By the time customer service responded to me and sent me a survey, it was too late. They knew how unhappy I was with the food from day 1 but they only sent delayed apologies. I made several attempts to contact them then gave up! I paid quite a bit including out-of-pocket shipping charges. My biggest problem was, as a life-long vegetarian, receiving frozen food that looked like meat (with meat substitutes). What a horrid experience!! I will never recommend The Vegan Garden or order from them ever again! Bad food and bad customer service! read more

Food quality is abysmal, both in terms of the taste, sad and soggy texture, and the non-fresh quality of ingredients used. A couple meals were edible. Unfortunately, we had to throw a few away. And we never waste food, so this was a new low. I can make better vegan food by just combining frozen veggies and packaged sauces from the grocery store. I couldn't believe how gross some of these items were (eggplant dish, hummus, stroganoff, and everything with TVP). This service depresses me because I am vegan and I'd hate for this to be someone's first impression of the vegan food. There's a lot of delicious stuff out there, but sadly this is not a good representation. read more

Absolutely terrible! I ordered from them 4 weeks ago and my order finally arrived yesterday. When I opened the box, the meals were half melted and some of them had busted open. I wrote them an email voicing my concern and asked for a replacement. They wrote me back stating it was okay for them to be half melted but to freeze them immediately. Great, thanks. I'm glad it's okay for you, but you're not the one eating them. They also said that the packages give the illusion that they are open when they are actually not (as I stare at the contents of my hummus spilling into the box). I'm so disappointed in them and myself! This was the second order I had placed. The first order was decent but a few of the meals made me sick. Not sure why I went back to ordering from them again, but won't be making that mistake again. Save yourself the disappointment and stay away! read more

The Vegan Garden - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Hayward, California

I work kind of extreme hours and it's hard to find time to cook so I was looking for a way to save time and money, and still eat healthy. I saw the Yelp coupon which seemed like a good deal so I went for it. I had to order over the phone because of the coupon, which ended up being no problem because of the wonderful Cassandra. She was really incredibly helpful. The food came beautifully packaged the next day in dry ice, totally frozen. Impressive service. OK so the food. I am actually a vegetarian and I cook a lot of veggie food. Maybe my taste and standards are different, but I thought it was just OK. Reasonably tasty, but not delicious. And the Asian entrees I thought had too much salt. Some of the textures were off... maybe from being frozen? I don't know. The desserts were pretty good. The quality of the food is what has kept me from going back. It just didn't knock my socks off. Overall grades: Service: A+ Packaging: A+ Food B- read more

Thankfully I didn't pay full price for my meal delivery plan. I bought a voucher from Gilt City for a week's worth of food - breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert. First off, I don't like that you can't pick a specific date for receiving it, like you can with services like Blue Apron. I just had to wait until they decided to send it, which ended up being about a week and a half after placing the order. The meals arrive in a giant box and are vacuum sealed in plastic and look like mush. But I don't judge a book by the cover and was open-minded about trying everything. The first two meals were fine. After that, it all went downhill. So far I've tried about 90% of the meals, and 50% of them have been inedible. I've been spreading them out over the past couple of weeks because the thought of eating them now makes me feel sick. Every dish seems to have one ingredient that overpowers the flavor. On top of that, textures are bad - often runny - after being microwaved, and I make a mess each time I'm preparing a meal. Worst meals: Mushroom Stroganoff Bak'n Scramble Bangkok Salad Carbonara Better meals: Chocolate Mint Cookie Jumbalaya Tofu Chow Yuk Chili I had high hopes and was severely let down. I gave one star for the mere fact that I did receive the product I purchased, and one star for the meals that were decent. read more

I really like the ease of these meals and the food is pretty good. I am incredibly unsure of the nutrition information however. There is no way some of the items have as few calories as they say and likewise a lot of the sugar, fat, and protein information seems impossible. If you're not actually counting calories or other stats though, not a big deal. read more

Bought a groupon and upon checkout they charged $19 for FedEx delivery. Classic bait and switch tactics. I would appreciate more transparency on Groupon's behalf as well. read more

I ordered this off of a Groupon and it seemed like a decent deal. The groupon was about $100 for 14 Dinners and 14 Breakfast meals as well as a $29 shipping charge.. Half of the meals are a decent size while the other half are not. Some of the breakfast items I received were not a sufficient breakfast by any mean.There was a small muffin, a granola bar, ect. I also received a small side of brown rice as a dinner meal.. I don't mean to be a glutton but a spoonful of rice is not a dinner. A lot of their food that they send out has some form of fake soy meat. It would be nice if they didn't put the fake meat in almost every meal. Overall, I would prefer to order from Blue Apron or another Vegan meal plan. read more

I purchased a groupon a few months ago for The Vegan Garden and fell in love with their food. The food is wonderful and taste great, you can tell they really spent time preparing the food so it doesn't taste like cardboard. I love the gumbo and the smoothies. It is very refreshing to have healthy food that taste great and is also good for you. I am now a regular customer who enjoys their entire menu. I recently had the honor of speaking with Cassandra (from The Vegan Garden) and her demeanor was very pleasant and her customer service skills were extraordinary!! I am a customer for life and I wish The Vegan Garden all the success in the world!!!!! read more

YIPPIEEEEE!!! :) My first shipment just arrived. I just had my first meal and I can already say it's wonderful. I just had the Garden soup-and it was some of the best and freshest I've ever had (nice & spicy). The customer service is stellar (what up, Cassandra?!) courteous and fast. :) The box arrived with the food frozen in dry ice about 4 business days. The packages are very attractive and appetizing. I live in Los Angeles. I'm a vegan who tries to keep away from wheat. In L.A. we're blessed to have many vegan options, but this is a big town with tons of traffic. I can't keep driving around town spending anywhere from $10-$20 meal. I'm also tired of reading labels to make sure unwanted ingredients don't sneak in. Now I have a freezer full of yummy, mostly organic, gluten-free food without all the driving, hassle OR the cooking (ummm...YAY). Now, I can focus more on my life and not my food. I also have about 15 pounds to lose and it's tricky as a vegan. These portions are perfect! I feel like I have a private vegan chef. Thank you Vegan Garden--I'm already hooked. :) (I rated the pricing as moderate, based on what you're getting. It's not "cheap", but you're not getting cheap food.) Remember: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! :) read more

Hello?? I have been trying to reach customer service. Someone!?? Anyone??! Is this place still in business at all?? Or did they just take my money and run? read more

I hate cooking--actually, I don't know how--and I love home delivery meal services. Thus, I was excited when I saw the Rue La La offer for two weeks of Vegan Garden dinners and snacks. The price of $99+$25 S&H seemed reasonable, so I immediately ordered. Their shipping process from the West Coast to the East Coast was very slow. However, my food was still frozen rock solid when it arrived because they packed it well in dry ice. Now for the important part: the food is mostly quite good. With one exception, I loved the entrees. I was surprised at how flavorful each entree was and I enjoyed the variety of ethnic cuisines. The Szechuan Eggplant was a bit too spicy/hot for me, but I still thought it was delish. I ate it with brown rice and it was enough for two portions. The Jambalya with tofu sausage, the Tofu Chow Yuk and the Lasagna Napolitano were OFF-THE-HOOK!!! The only entree that disappointed was the chili. I'm actually wondering whether my particular chili entree was *defective* because I can't believe that they would intentionally make it this way: watery consomme-like broth with a rare/occasional tomato and bean floating around in it. Seriously. It was 99.5% pinkish water. Chili is supposed to be thick, rich and hearty. If my chili-broth was, in fact, an anomaly, they need better quality control in the kitchen. The 14 snacks consisted mostly of different cookies and apple crisp. The apple crisp was very good, as were the cocoa mess cookies. But the peanut butter cookies were too dry and crumbly for my taste. I would have given Vegan Garden 5 stars if their chili had not been such a disaster. Even so, I will order again and, hopefully, sample different offerings. One final note: I try to eat healthy and I believe that Vegan Garden's foods contain mostly fresh, non-GMO and organic ingredients. However, the process of nuking the food at home just seems counterproductive to me. I don't think that fresh, well-prepared, healthful food should see the inside of a microwave. Wish I could avoid that. read more

First off, I'd like to mention that I've been ordering from The Vegan Garden for a few months now, on and off, depending on their coupons/vouchers. Because of the amount of time I've been a customer, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on the pros and cons of ordering with them. Food: The food itself I find to be hit or miss. There are some dishes I love, some I barely tolerate. This of course will vary by individual. I wish the packages they offered were more tailored seasonally...for instance, I don't necessarily find hot soup appetizing in the summer, in 100 degree weather. In addition, some people are vegan because they do not like the taste of meat, so the fact that some of their dishes (like the beef broccoli) are just "fake meat" versions of the original is unappetizing. Thankfully, they do have an a la carte option to just order the specific meals you like, but this turns out to be more expensive than ordering a package. They rarely offer coupons for a la carte ordering--the one time they did offer one, it didn't work when applied at checkout. Customer Service: The first time I emailed the company with a question, the answer came promptly. Thereafter, every time I tried to call/contact, I never received a response, which is not a good look. Specifically, I emailed regarding coupon codes, since I would get an email about a current one, only to go to the cart at check-out to discover the code wasn't working. I sent emails with screengrabs to alert them of the problems (this happened more than once), but received no response. I also emailed to inquire as to when exactly I would be receiving a shipment since their system seems to be "ship the food whenever we feel like it," which is problematic if you make plans to be out of town (which happened to me once). Website: I wish they included nutritional information for their dishes/meal plans. Not just calories, but macro counts would be great too! All in all, if they could fix their customer response issues, tailor some of the packages, or fix their coupon code process, this could be the perfect place for a busy vegan to order their weekly food. read more

I received a box of desserts from The Vegan Garden as a Christmas gift and was very disappointed. The only ones I could eat were the chocolate muffins. All of the other muffins, bread and cookies were dry and hard as a rock. I had to throw them away. I wrote to the company but did not receive a response. read more

I am absolutely a fan of The vegan garden! I work as an ICU nurse, and my fourteen hour work days often leave little room for meal prep and healthy eating, Vegan garden has most definitely made it easier with delivery service! I have ordered from them when I lived both in California (san diego), and now, when I live in Manhattan. I must admit my California deliveries were more timely, and cheaper shipping fees, but overall I have been satisfied with my the timeliness, packaging, and quality of my orders. My only bone to pick with the vegan garden is the nutrition- specifically the calorie count. They often seem incorrect. For example, a muffin with 37 carbs will only 121 calories. when just by simple multiplication of 37 x 4 calorie per carb gram you get a caloric value of 148 (not including fat calories, etc). I am trying very hard to watch my weight, and maintain a healthy caloric diet, and I feel the vegan garden's calculations may not be entirely accurate? Can someone attest to this? Would appreciate any feedback!!! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would!!! They have, by far, the BEST customer service I've come across in longer than I'd like to admit. I had an issue with the delivery of my purchase. My lovely apartment complex signed for my food and decided not to inform me. So for 10 days my once frozen meals were melting and rotting with no knowledge to me. When I sent an email to The Vegan Garden wondering where my package was they were extremely prompt in their return. The woman I spoke with was so understanding and so helpful. She sent out a brand new order of my 28 meals, even though it wasn't even their fault, for no charge to me! I just got my food today and it is just as great as their customer service. Thank thank thank you for not falling into the horrible trend of treating your customers like crap!!!! Much appreciated!!! As soon as I run out I'm placing another order read more

I bought a coupon deal here just to try the Pioneer Meal Deal and have to say, I am impressed! Although I am not a vegan, or even a vegetarian, I really enjoy eating good, healthy and lean foods as well as avoiding meats often. The quality and recipes from The Vegan Garden are really quite good. Everything I have tried so far has been very tasty! I also particularly like all the variety of dishes that were included. Mexican, Italian, Asian, etc. This was a pretty good deal for what I paid but I don't honestly know if I would pay the full price since that seems a bit on the pricey side for what you get, although I do realize there is a lot of labor involved in cooking each dish and vacuum packing them all up, etc. I chose the delivery option for my order and it arrived well-packed in a styrofoam lined shipping box with dry ice on top. Each pouch arrived still frozen. I will certainly order from The Vegan Garden again if there are any deals because this service really makes it easy to eat vegan with ease and convenience. You don't even need to know how to cook. They have individual dishes that you can pick and choose and add to your cart and order on their website in addition to combo meal deals, and you can even subscribe to a meal plan where you get deliveries every couple of weeks unless you cancel. One could conceivably never cook, and still be able to eat vegan using this service, if you are willing to pay the prices charged. It's a neat concept for sure and something that interests me, if only it weren't quite so costly. Two slight negatives/areas I think need work: -There was no letter nor heat up instructions in the box at all, something I was looking for from this company being a first time customer. Subsequent deliveries would probably not need this but it would be nice to have one on the first delivery. -The 'order shipped' email or website update (when looking up your order) takes a couple of days to be sent/updated. In my case, I had the order delivered before I knew it even shipped. They only ship out on Mondays and since I'm in the Bay Area, my order arrived to me the next day on Tuesday. It would be nice if they sent the 'order shipped' email a bit quicker such as on Monday when it ships or Tuesday morning. UPDATE- I purchased another deal from the deal site (the terms stated 2 per person could be purchased) however The Vegan Garden invalidated the code so I was not able to use it. I had to contact the deal site to get my payment refunded. Not too pleased about this, and I'm subtracting a star from my review because of this. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. This stuff they are serving should not even be considered food. I've tried every dish now and had to throw them all out (the hot n sour soup was ok). It's the WORST food I've ever eaten. I even had other people try it to make sure something wasn't wrong with me and everyone agreed, it's horrible!! My roommate had the Mexican Wedding Cakes and said, "they got a divorce". The service tho, was great, it was packed well and the delivery was quick. Unfortunately, this chef should not be in the food industry. read more

Hands down best vegan beef broccoli there is. You can't even tell it's vegan and that's the best part. I've had several smoothies as well and those are well worth it. Spoke with Martina and she has been extremely helpful! Will tell friends and be back for more read more

The Vegan Garden - :) - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Hayward, California

I am not vegan. With that being said I definitely fell into the line of thinking that vegan meant that vegan food would be boring and bland. I had the pleasure to find out I was wrong, way wrong. A buddy of mine gave me a "cocoa mess cookie" and I have to say it was the the tastiest thing I've had in a while and I'm not even into desserts. Super chocolaty and peanut buttery with the right amount of sweetness and oats. That experience opened my mind to veganism as a whole and I look forward to getting full meals to see what else is out there. I don't think I'll stop eating meat but I do know I won't be missing out on a whole other world of goodness that I thought was for goats. Bring on the delicious veg! read more

So I'm changing my review as I spoke with the owner, who explained that FedEx is having issues with getting the shipments to the customer on time. That doesn't surprise me as I've never had much luck with FedEx. They are working on a solution so that they can start shipping to these states again. I get that sending frozen items can be an issue, but I've gotten food from other companies with no problem. It might be a recent thing with FedEx, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I've bought from a TON of other companies, and I just don't like their food as well as The Vegan Garden's meals. I would love to stay a customer, so I hope the issue is resolved soon. read more

At first I thought, "How good can frozen meals shipped 2200 miles taste?" Wow was I pleasantly surprised! I'm still working my way through the box, and everything overall is really good except for the horribly crumbly texture of the peanut butter cookie (you touch it and it literally turns to crumbs with very few whole pieces to eat) and the hard, stale taste of the monkey bread. The muffins, banana bar, chocolate oatmeal cookie, and chocolate chip cookie ARE heavenly. I'm stretched for time and don't have the freedom to obtain and cook my meals right now so this is a good temporary solution. I received my order a day earlier than expected. Each item comes shrink wrapped which looks odd, but efficient nonetheless. The only item that suffered some travel damage was a muffin which was squished, but I heated it up and the taste outweighed the deformity. :) I'm so happy to see that none of the baked goods use coconut oil. Instead they use vegan butter (soy milk and/or egg replacer). I can't believe the volume and yumminess I get for so few calories! If the price wasn't so high, I may become a regular customer although I'd have to pick and choose the better quality products over others. read more

I got the 3 day cleanse package of smoothies. Everything was delicious, no chemicals or fillers. I'm ordering tons more because it's perfect to take to work for a lunch instead of ordering from whatever restaurant the crew picks that day ( never healthy). It's frozen when I toss it in my bag in the morning and it's defrosted by lunchtime. Gets rid of cravings, keeps me away from the pastry cart. I think the price is fine considering the convenience. I haven't tried any of the meals. read more

So I really love the food, it is delicious. I sometimes catch my husband sneaking some of it also! However, I have really struggled with the delivery service. I placed my order on December 26, 2014 for weekly meal delivery, but did not receive the product until January 10, 2015. A FULL 15 days later! They explained that this was due to FedEx delivery issues around the holidays, I wasn't sure that made sense, but okay. The following week, I received my order perfectly on time January 17, 2015. They had redeemed themselves (despite the fact that the order was missing some meals, but they offered to fix this). Unfortunately the redemption was short lived, on January 24, 2015 I did not receive my order. They explained again that the issue was with FedEx. The said the delivery would arrive on January 27, 2015. Well it did not, but we had a storm in the North East so I thought okay maybe it will be a day later. A day later, today, nothing. Also the FedEx tracking number is not working anymore. Separately I received a notification that my next shipment would be arriving a day early, on January 30, 2015 instead of Feb 1, 2015. Yet no word on the missing shipment. I have called and sent emails, but have not been responded to yet. What really gets my goat, is that on January 26, 2015 they had the audacity to charge me for the NEXT month when I have only received two shipments. Now I understand that it has been a month since I placed the order, but if you have not shipped a months worth of product how can you charge for the next month in good faith? Every time I do speak with someone on the phone the person is perfectly polite. I get the feeling that they do not have enough man power to handle the operation. I am not sure why they are okay with FedEx screwing up so much for them. The food is delicious. I would like to continue ordering from them. I am waiting for a call back regarding the delivery situation, the missing box, and the premature charge. We shall see. read more

Some of the food was okay to decent, some was inedible. When I contacted customer service about the items that were too hard to eat, they just suggested heating them up in even more in the microwave. Fail. I'm also concerned that they don't list all of the ingredients. read more

OMG AMAAAAAZING!!!!! As a mom of 3 and business owner, I have no time for anything - Especially losing my extra weight and preparing healthy vegan meals, so I started my quest for Efficient Vegan options that I don't even have to think twice about and can just grab and go. I researched 5 different companies and this was the ONLY true 21-day fully prepared cleanse/fast out there! It takes 21 days to make/break a habit so I was set on finding a 21 day program. I started, however, with the 5 day cleanse just to see if I liked the flavors and they were all SOOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Even the "greener" ones I was afraid to try were Amaaaazing!!!! My husband even kept trying to steal a few! After just 5 days, I felt lighter, lost weight, and no more issues in the restroom! .... I just ordered the 21 day and am beyond excited for it to arrive!! I have 54 lbs to lose and im confident this will get me back on track... also, I have peanut allergy and when I called to place my order, the gentleman was so kind as to make sure he removed the peanut butter options and replace with my 2 favs - pink Cadillac and piña colada!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! I'd give them 10 stars if I could read more

See all

Great food, Service, and Shipping! I don't have too much time on my hands, and eating good and healthy is important to me; which is why I had decided to give Vegan Garden a chance. I can't say enough about my great experience with The Vegan garden starting with the ease of ordering, fast shipping, and quality healthy foods! My favorite of the dishes I ordered had to be the morning glory bars, Mongolian Chicken, and Apple crisp. 5 Stars all around! Highly recommended. read more

I purchased the Groupon for 14 dinners + 14 desserts for $75 (note upon redeeming the Groupon I found out there is a $25 delivery fee, which was probably in the fine print that I didn't read). Being the optimist that I am, I bought two. I couldn't get the Groupon to take on the website, so I had to order over the phone. When I gasped at the delivery fee, Cassandra kindly only charged me the fee once. The Food... Dinners - Good. I liked some better than others. Medium to large portions. The fire and ice pasta is out of this world. The Mexican Jumping Bean Salad is hearty, but a little uninspired. Another yelp reviewer wrote that they are low in Weight Watchers pointsplus. Some are, some aren't. 5-12 pointsplus. There are a lot of duplicates; I wish there was more variety. I see other dinners on the website, like the lasagne and pizza and wish I had gotten those. Desserts - Absolutely delicious. For any Weight Watchers out there, they are between 4-5 points. Very worth it. In my opinion, it was worth the money. Paying $100 for 14 vegan, prepared delivered meals that are flavorful and quick to heat is a great deal. I also love supporting small business owners that support causes that I believe in (veganism). The customer service is great. I read that a few others had negative experiences, but I had prompt responses to all of my inquiries. Plus, give a small business a break! They found a little success and are having a bit of a difficult time managing it. Sorry it affected you, but work with 'em a little! read more

I AM IMPRESSED!!! Starting with the delivery of the food, how it's delicately packaged with the proper inserts and dry ice. The food is delicious, real natural food, fresh, with great flavors. The smoothies are AMAZING! made with all natural fruit and Veggies. Even my husband is loving the food and smoothies. They have great customer service too!

Cassandra always answers my questions/nagging in a timely manner, my shipments arrive in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania frozen solid, barely any time passes from order date to arrival, and the quality vegan food is absolutley amazing!
