We LOVE this place. They have delicious food (I've never had anything I didn't love there), the prices are fantastic, and the owner and her daughter are the sweetest people you'll ever meet. We drive from 25 minutes away for this place! read more

Our first time--will definitely be back. Convenient and plenty of parking too. The owner is very nice and service was exceptional. We enjoyed a yeero and the daily special. read more

Vegan Community Kitchen - Daily special: Potato and Leek lasagna. Enough for a hefty snack tomorrow too! - Vegan Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

I stopped by on a fluke today, I'm definitely not a vegetarian or a vegan. I got a Gyro to go,it was delicious. NowI should be activated as the tzatziki sauce was left off, but I'm not because the other flavors were so great. Whatever they used to substitute for the lamb was just delicious. I will be back to try it with sauce next time. read more

I can't begin to tell you how delicious it all was! We ordered so much food to try, and loved every single bite! Authentic flavors. Would recommend to anyone, and everyone. Will be back soon! :) read more

See all

Great food, excellent staff. We arrived here by accident. My father wanted to go the bakery that he knew of in the area, when we arrived, it was a vegan restaurant. My husband and I were ecstatic! We are pescatarian so this restaurant was right up our alley. We were cracking up because while my dad wanted cakes and cookies(that he didn't need), We ended up at a great place that served delicious healthy food. When you walk into this establishment, you smell nothing but yumminess. We all had their hibiscus tea.WOW- Delicious! and we bought my mom and dad VEGAN cookies. They actually liked them . My husband bought a vegan burger and accidentally left it at our parents house, my mom tried it and loved it! The next time we come into Fuquay Varina NC, we will be back! read more

Vegan Community Kitchen - This hibiscus tea is awesome! - Vegan Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

Amazing food. Friend people. My non-vegan spouse also loves everything they've tried. So delicious.

I am not a strict vegan but I do try my best to avoid animal products in food. I was excited to try this place after finding it on yelp. It's nice to not have to worry about the ingredients in the food. I agree with some of the other reviews that there is a LOT of seitan. However, everything we got was very tasty. My only complaint was the amount of disposable stuff. Most vegans are also pretty environmentally conscious and if they want to appeal to those people (like me) they should consider replacing their disposable plastic, forks, cups, etc with real ones, or at least compostable ones. Overall it was a good experience and I'll gladly change this to 5 stars if they start using reusables! read more

Vegan Community Kitchen - Vegan Kitchen Cheeseburger - Vegan Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

Amazing food!! Great quality, fresh ingredients and by far the best vegan burger I've ever had. Highly recommend! I am new to North Carolina and so pleased to find this vegan restaurant. read more

Their menu has plenty of options, I was impressed. I didn't know what to get so I went with the recommendation, the Christmas Burger. First of all the portion was big but it was the flavor that was incredible. I really have to retrain my large, meat-eating, American taste buds to the flavors of the world! You truly feel transported to another country full of exotic and intense flavors. The bun was perfectly toasted and the burger was topped with fresh baby spinach and smothered in their homemade hummus. Simply wonderful. You must try their hibiscus tea. I was expecting the typical tartness but not this time; they've infused the tea with plenty of spices. Once again transported. The ONLY thing is they are still not hosting patrons inside due to COVID. There are only two small tables outside other than that you'll have to take it to-go read more

Not only is the food here phenomenal but the owners are incredibly sweet and kind people. Whether you're looking for a quick bite to eat, a filling lunch or dinner, or the delicious variety of desserts they have to offer, you are without a doubt going to leave happy. I highly recommend trying the kitchen burger but they're weekly specials also never disappoint! Thank you Vegan Community Kitchen! read more

Vegan Community Kitchen - The Kitchen burger with Mac & Cheese with Broccoli - Vegan Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

I can't get enough of this place! Their food is delicious, even for my non-vegan family. I think we've tried almost everything on the menu, but there's one thing I ALWAYS order, and that's their chocolate cake. Deeelicious! read more

The name is misleading. Very disappointing. The food was fine. I can't say I enjoyed it nor can I say I didn't. It just was.

Wow. This place something else. Everything we had was incredibly fresh, and absolutely delicious. The vegan gyro/yeero? Unbelievable.

I love this place and I wish it was closer to me in east Raleigh. My husband and I keep inventing errands to run in the Apex area just so we can eat here. Everything is vegan and incredibly delicious. The house made seitan that's on most dishes is incredible. The prices are super reasonable; last time we were here we had two sandwiches, two sides of fries, and shared an iced tea for $27. read more

I just had Beyti Kebab, Grape Leaves, and Tzatziki delivered from Vegan Community Kitchen and I cannot even articulate how incredibly delicious it was!! I'd like to add this was some of the best food I've ever had, not fresh. Due to the distance between myself and the restaurant it took about 30 minutes to get here and it was INCREDIBLE still. I knew from the first bite of the amazing grape leaves, this place was going to be a hit. And it was. Thank you to the Vegan Community Kitchen for making such delicious yummy food. read more

So glad we tried this place, it was AMAZING! I've eaten vegan food for years in different parts of the country, and I must say that this is some of the tastiest. The kitchen burger is the best burger I've had in my life. The sauce they put on it is soooo delicious. The cold sides were delicious as well. The food came out pretty quick and the staff was very friendly. I can't recommend this place enough, and will definitely be back! read more

I love this place, but the hours are literally the exact opposite of when I want to order food. I've tried at least 5 times recently, and they're always closed. read more

Lots of problems with Vegan Community Kitchen (VCK) - but the best kind of problems to have! * Problem 1: What to order? So many excellent choices! Overwhelming, but positively so! Vegan selections but also some that are gluten-free! Solution 1: Order multiple different items to try and go back multiple times! * Problem 2: So much food provided for each order! Solution 2: Save for leftovers - great for several meals! If you ordered multiple different items as I suggested for Solution 1, the entire family can try something different the subsequent days. * Problem 3: What about meat-lovers? Solution: *I* love meat, but am trying to move more towards vegan. I *love* VCK' s meals; their offerings might even convince all but the most diehard meat-eaters. Their choices may even move those like me to become vegan. The "meat substitutes" taste fantastic regardless of how much they appear like meat and they DO appear like meat - amazingly so! * Problem 4: I do not want to eat seitan-based food all the time. Solution 4: VCK has so many seitan/gluten-free choices, too, that one could eat there every day and limit their seitan consumption. (Lentils, beans, veggies, etc .....) * Problem 5: Tasty deserts. Solution 5: Well, this one is tough, but: Eat so much of the great regular meal that you don't want desert. Yeah ... , right ... read more

Wow. The best food money can buy AND the prices are great. You must try this place. Use their website to make your order and it should be ready in 10-20 minutes. The staff is soooo lovely. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

The place was recommended to us by a vegan friend and we went there tonight. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. We had the Yeero Wrap and it was beyond delicious, truly melts in your mouth. My wife had the stuffed sweet potato and it was wonderful. Can't say enough about the Hibiscus Tea was mouth watering. Refills were free. Can't recommend this restaurant enough read more

This restaurant is on the corner of the little plaza that it's in, and I was able to order to go as I had to meet my family somewhere else. I ordered their kitchen burger with fries, and the burger actually got to be too much sriram for me personally. It was still really good but a little soggy from me taking it to go. The lady I called and interacted with at the register was incredibly cordial and helpful with my order. The prices are about average as it's equivalent to any other restaurant I've been to. I definitely will come back again for their food and to try out some of their baked goods! read more

This is my favorite vegan restaurant. The selection of dishes are all delicious options. For me, the portions were large. I had the lentil soup and mixed bean salad today. Both were delicious. I did have to take some home from both dishes. Their Hibiscus Tea is delicious! I think I'm the future, I will mix it, half tea half water. I don't usually drink very sweet drinks. Mixing it will make it just right for me. I would highly recommend you try this restaurant, even if you don't typically eat vegan. My husband and I are not strictly vegan, but we really enjoyed this restaurant. read more

Since the year 2000 I've lost 280 pounds. I love eating Great Vegan Food and this restaurant exceeds my expectations for quality, price and hard working service. Give them a little time to improve even more and this will be a restaurant you will visit more than once a week read more

I had read about this from Nextdoor and decided to give it a shot. It was far better than I expected. I tried the gyro, my son got the cheeseburger and I can't remember what my wife had but she liked it. The gyro was good I wish the tzatziki sauce had a more vinegar dill flavor to it but it was decent. My son wasn't a fan of his burger. The cheese did have quite a different flavor from American cheese. I tried a few bites and it was't bad. I wish I had tried more of the sides besides french fries. The cucumber salad looked amazing and all the other sides in the class cabinet looked very fresh and not stale or like they had been sitting. I'm sure we'll try this place again. The prices were fair for the amount of food you get. read more

I have never written a review before, but I was so overwhelmed with disappointment that I felt the need this time. We ordered dinner from here last night, I got the falafel wrap and my husband got one of the many seitan items. The actual falafel and seitan tasted fine, but I don't know why it's called a wrap. There was SO much lettuce and tomatoes crammed in I had to eat it with a fork & knife. Which overall isn't that big of a deal, I guess. We also ordered the hummus and some side salads. I enjoyed the Kale salad but the hummus was the worst I've ever had....it was incredibly bitter tasting. I had to add my own lemon juice in order to even tolerate eating it. This hummus was also in my "wrap" which was a bit disappointing to the overall flavor. For dessert we ordered the Nutella pastry item, which was terrible. I am not one to say no to dessert, so the fact that I couldn't eat this says a lot. My husband thought the food was OK, so it's likely that he'll eat here again. But frankly, I thought the food was incredibly mediocre, which was very surprising after reading so many positive reviews. I do like supporting small, local businesses, so hopefully there is some constructive feedback in this review that could be useful. read more

Food is absolutely amazing and the service is so friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to try every thing on the menu, so good!

One more visit before I make it 5 stars. We had the yeero today and it was awesome. Hard to believe it wasn't meat. The menu has many more Middle East dishes for us to try. read more

I don't usually write Yelp reviews but my food I just ate was so amazing I had to. Seriously, eat here!! I am dairy free not vegan so I got everything cheesy. Their Mac n cheese burrito dish was sooo good. Their 3 bean salad was the best I've ever had. I haven't gotten to dessert yet but I know it will be amazing. It doesn't matter if you are vegan or not-- you'll love it! It's worth the drive from Raleigh. We will return! PS I'm writing this during the stay at home order and ordering online and picking up was a breeze. read more

I'm on day 4 of a plant- based diet and this place will be my life saver! What a great meal! I had the vegetable wrap and a side of roasted veggies, and my husband had the special of the day, Philly "cheesesteak" with a side of roasted veggies. Everything tasted so rich and flavorful. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and their hibiscus tea is AMAZING. Make sure you get a vegan chocolate chip cookie after your meal. It's decadent. I can't wait to go back! read more

The food is great here. Everytime I visit I'm pleasantly surprised. Everything here is 100% Vegan. I will definitely return soon.

A hidden gem in a wasteland of pub food, the Vegan Community Kitchen is an excellent choice if you are looking for something different in Apex. Admittedly, we are food snobs - but when the mother and daughter who make the food have 2 restaurants (one on Turkey and one in Apex), you know you're going to get authentic food. Forget there is the word vegan in the name - it's all good. read more

Not open to the public... I drove 45 mins to eat here just find out they are only taking online orders. Such a waste. I will never return to try the food read more

My favorite vegan restaurant!!! I had the special it was Turkish pizza .. so yummy !!! Huge portion and great price..My mother Had the spanakopita and didn't even realize she wasn't eating dairy .. so good!! Def will go back read more

The food is delicious, the people are wonderful and the atmosphere feels like home. Thank you for bringing an all vegan kitchen to Apex. I will absolutely return and highly recommend. read more

I'm vegetarian and it is always a treat to find a restaurant where I can eat everything on the menu! The falafel here some of the best I have ever had, and the specials, which change regularly, are always delicious. The doner "meat" is seitan, so the restaurant is not at all gluten free, and it is a little on the pricey side for the casual atmosphere, but the food is delicious, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I love trying out different vegan restaurants, so I was excited to visit this new spot in Apex. My mom and I each ordered an Authentic Yeero + a side of orzo salad. Our food was fresh, filling, and delicious! I will definitely be back! read more

I found this place because of yelp and my young son and and I enjoyed what we got- a burger and fries for him and a gyro and fries for me. I tasted his Burger, too! Both were quite good, and the meat alternatives were texturally appropriate. I would like a little more flavor and was told at the counter that I could get extra sauces if we wanted next time. Very nice, friendly, agreeable, customer-oriented and tasting. We chatted with some other diners there about what we were eating and everybody seemed to be happy and excited about their feeding game we were told by three different people that the mac and cheese was fantastic! That's what we're trying next time. read more

My favorite vegan restaurant hands down. It's cheap, fast, and delicious. I always get the soup and salad which is $5.50!!!! The lentil soup is so creamy and you think it would be boring but it is so fulfilling and satisfying. They have so many salads my favorite is the potato salad. Plenty of gluten free options. They are always so friendly and epic!! My friend got a burger which is really good! read more

Vegan Community Kitchen - Vegan Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

This food is great! I've only tried this once and it really hit home for me. I will definitely try this again!

Vegan Community Kitchen brings genuinely delicious, comforting and interesting vegan food to the table whether you order from the traditional dishes or choose one of their spins on classic burgers, mac and cheese, or cheesesteaks. My omnivore friends love everything from the lentil balls to the substantially filling Kitchen Burger, and I enjoy the thrill of being able to order anything on a menu! The stuffed eggplant boats are my current go-to; lushly tender eggplant halves filled to overflowing with VCK's tasty homemade seitan, served with a salad featuring their magic trick of perpetually ripe tomatoes no matter the season. Even being takeout-only for the past year, the small team in this kitchen have managed to turn out reliably wonderful food to satisfy body and soul, with compassion for ourselves and the environment around us at the same time. Don't be afraid to try a meal without meat - there's a whole culinary world waiting for you! read more
