    Alyce was a true 10/10 experience. We walked in for a weekday lunch/brunch and started with the…read morebrisket tacos as an appetizer, it was an amazing first impression, it was absolutely perfect, I just wish I wasn't sharing - next time we'll each get our own! My entree was shrimp and grits which was also delicious, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and there was a poached egg on top which always makes everything better. I got to pick a type of bread to go along with the meal and was about to choose sourdough until the server mentioned the option of a fresh baked biscuit! Bonus - it was served with butter and house made jam. My husband got the mojo chicken which was also very good, especially the black bean puree. We also wanted to try the crispy bacon fried rice (which also came with an egg!) and it was something we'd definitely order again. Last but not least, the service was amazing! Can't wait to try their dinner menu.

Everyone was asked how the food was and service except for our table which consisted of two black women, this was the man in the instagram Videos he completely ignored us . Then we went to the wanderer next Door which we later found out that it's an extension of cafe Alyce and the same man showed up and still ignored us. I will never return here my money is best spent somewhere else.

I got the to the max with 3 proteins and basically all the veggies and toppings included. Really delicious and enjoyable food that also tasted healthy. Service (4/5): I ordered pickup through door dash and had no issues. Order was done fast. Only thing is I wish they included cups of water that we could drink. Ambiance (5/5): nice shop with plenty of bench and stool sitting. It's well lit and has nice music playing.

    Staying in downtown Jersey City for work and decided to grab poke. I wasn't exactly sure where this…read moreplace was located. Th GPS led me to the side of the building at 525 Washington. For anyone else trying to find it, it's actually inside the building on the first floor, so don't be thrown off by the directions. I ordered the "You Create Plenty" bowl with two proteins. I went with half white rice, half mixed greens, tuna and spicy tuna, scallions, cucumber, edamame, mango, ginger, masago, spicy mayo, sesame seeds, and shredded nori. The bowl was flavorful, fresh, and very filling! It was perfect for a late lunch or early dinner. However, I'm giving it four stars because the proportions were a bit off. There was way too much ginger, not nearly enough mango, and definitely more white rice than mixed greens, despite ordering a half-and-half base. Still, it hit the spot, and I'd come back again!

    We love Gaia and Loki!…read more It's so beautiful inside and the seats are so comfortable! It has such a wonderful lively and friendly atmosphere. The staff goes above and beyond! We are always so impressed. The Incredible food is all vegan! Their menu is full of so many options and they alway have specials. So many healthy options. I love their lasagna! Their Cauliflower Piccata is divine! Everything is always played beautifully too Alsoooooo their tea selection is next level!

    Got a bunch of stuff from here for take out and it was all delicious!…read moreThe standout for me was the Penne Alla Vodka-- sauce was so tasty and well cooked penne. Flavorful sauce that was creamy enough but not too heavy- better than some "fancy" vegan Italian restaurants I've had in the city. Also comes with a side of garlic bread. The mushroom empanada was very good- each piece is huge!! They are deep fried, and would be nice to have a baked option perhaps. The filling was really good- seemed like a mix of meat substitute and mushrooms. Also tried the vegan crispy chicken burger- portion was huge. Very nice sesame bun and "chicken" patty was thick and hearty. For dessert, got the strawberry cheesecake which was so-so for me. The texture was ok but the taste was not cheesecake-y enough for me. But it was still good overall. The slice was HUGE! Definitely for sharing. Also got the vegan gluten-free choc chip cookie which I really liked- crispy edges and chewy center, not too sweet. Everything was well-packaged and service was fast after ordering for pick up. The staff were lovely. Overall, Gaia & Loki left a great impression for yummy vegan comfort food in Jersey City, with very generous portions. The restaurant seemed popular and crowded, and has a nice casual vibe to it. Come with an appetite, and people to share with. Will return to either in person or order takeout again!
