Their new location is very nice and spacious and there's plenty of parking too! We got the Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread, Grilled Romaine, Hearts of Palm & Lion's Mane "Crabcakes", and Southern Style Plate with BBQ "pork". The cornbread was so moist and the crabcakes were flavorful. The grilled romaine was a revelation - I loved whatever creamy sauce it came with, the candied nuts, and the smokiness of the romaine. The BBQ "pork" was probably my least favorite thing, but don't get me wrong, it was still tasty. We asked for a little more BBQ sauce to go with it and our waitress got it for us right away. The drinks were also fantastic! I got the Autumn Flare which was coconut water, housemade falernum syrup, pineapple juice, and lemon. So refreshing and yummy!

The home fries were cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend!

If you are around the area, come and try it before September is over! If you are vegetarian or vegan, definitely try it out!

I have been to multiple pure vegan cafe locations. Today I picked up some buffalo ranch fries, a…read morebreakfast chicken sandwich and a backyard burger and a PBJ smoothie. I have ordered some version of this before. The smoothie was great, I do love the fried chicken on the sandwich. The sauce makes it feel heavy and since it's just sauce and bread and chicken I ended up wiping some off. The fries were mainly buffalo! Backyard burger was good. I am glad they have multiple locations and have been branching out, but at the cost that takeout vegan food typically is, my hopes were higher! I'll be back to try it again.

I finally got to try Eden's Vegan while the food truck was in my neighborhood. I wanted to try…read moreother things but I couldn't get clear feedback on the ingredients. The male in the truck was a bit vague (seemed in a rush or not willing to share) I do understand as mentioned that most things were made with soy excluding the bread and cake I purchased, so I finalized my purchase without buying anything outside of desserts. I would have liked a more details on the preparation of the other items. The pumpkin bread and the zucchini cake were delicious. My Mom even enjoyed the zucchini cake and she's not a fan of zucchini and didn't know it was vegan. Very satisfying.

I came here for the High Tea I'd seen advertised on Instagram. I'd attempted to make a reservation…read moretwice- the first time I called and the person who answered the phone told me I could make an reservation online. I tried this, but the system wouldn't even let me try until 30 days in advance, which I did, but was told I wouldn't need a reservation on a Sunday afternoon at 3pm for two people. I showed up and half the staff seemed really confused until I pointed to the tiered plates on other tables, then they said "ohhh the tea party!" lol. They got someone else, who said she wasn't sure she could accommodate us because we didn't have a reservation! I showed her the email on my phone which said "your reservation request was denied" because we supposedly didn't need one. I wouldn't usually have been so insistent but my friend had driven like 40 minutes to hang out and have this plant-based experience. She ended up relenting and bringing us the "tea party." The tea cups were the size of a shot glass and the tea bag selection included Lipton. I think it would have cost them basically nothing to give everyone their own teapot so you could actually seep your own flavor of tea, or even a bigger mug. It was just a little silly. They also start you off with a cute little labeled pitcher of lemonade- so cute but I wish they would have continued with this theme of labels or else just given us a pitcher of water because I was really thirsty by the end. The food that was made in house was delicious- the vegan pimento cheese sandwiches (bread tasted kind of stale though), the samosas and other savory pastries were delicious. The star of the show for me was the flatbread- veggie with some sort of aioli on it- I just loved it! Then there were store bought crackers and jelly (not chutney as we'd hoped/thought) and some store bought cookies. They had homemade vegan baked goods there, so I wish they had just tried a little harder to have some on hand for the high tea experience. The ambience was not great for a high tea experience. It's fast-casual so you order your high tea at the counter. Also they had the door open so it was really hot and the pollen was coming in. All in all, I would return but definitely for take-out, never for the high tea. The cost per person was not commensurate to the experience I had. That's a bummer because with some very small tweaks they could have a great niche!

The…read moreorder taking process - not so welcoming as the lady taking the orders was clearly more into her phone than anything else on this slow day. I also used the restroom and the water line was spitting out as much air as water, so to ensure they were aware and too prevent a potential issue I told the lady at the front. She got pretty perturbed that I did this but went and informed the manager anyway - show as watching videos on her tablet and didn't seem to care. No bother for me, I just trying to be nice and make sure an issue didn't happen. The manager came over later and told me they were working on the pipes, causing the issue, nothing to worry about. The front desk person was completely put off, like I was complaining - which I wasn't. Kinda weird. Next order was a door dash a few days later and it seemed to be lacking the care pout into the in house order - but it wasn't bad. Food is good but my main reason not to return was the front counter person not wanting to see customers on a Sunday morning, makes for an awkward experience.

I hate to give such a bad review for this food truck but I think they still have some kinks that…read moreneed to be ironed out. We tried this food truck out at the Cary Pimento Cheese festival. We were excited to try the beyond burger and it seemed convenient because the line was short. There were about 4 people ahead of us but the staff in the food truck were working so slow! It took about an hour before we were able to order and actually get the food. The food was also disappointing. The beyond burger came on sliced bread, which is fine. But the bread was smothered in butter. Just touching the sandwich covered all my fingers in grease. I couldn't even eat the burger. I think the key to a good food truck is being efficient while also providing great food and this truck fell short for both.

I'm an omnivore and don't especially…read moreseek out vegan but of about eight food trucks for meals (excluding trucks for exclusively for drinks, desserts, etc), this was the most interesting and novel to me. I figured I could have fare similar to the other trucks pretty easily any day of the week. I got a Crispy Herbed Oyster Mushroom Sammich (hemp cheddah cheeze, red onion, green leaf lettuce, roma tomato, sweet spicy sauce on a sesame seed chickpea flatbread) and was very happy with it. The taste and texture were great and I appreciate that they serve it wrapped in paper - it might stay warmer but it also stays together better. On the negative side, it's a little pricey and service was kind of slow. I saw sample menus before going to the event but there were no prices. Before I went, I actually thought I might get a side but the sides were expensive and made me believe they might not be "sides" but more like standalone entrees or perhaps a shareable side. Truth be known, I hit another truck for some $5 fries after I finished the sandwich. Most of the other trucks were swamped but this truck was not. Even still, it took about 20 minutes for me to get my food.

I was more in the mood for the gyoza across the way, but where else was I going to get a lunch specifically designed to balance my cells' pH levels? My mind was open (at least to the taste of the food, which was described deliciously, if not to the theory behind an alkaline diet) but the food was unfortunately so inedible that I had to go to another truck to get fed. The 'black garbanzo bean burgah's 'sesame seed kamut flatbread' had the exact texture of a sodden sponge, which gave the sandwich the impression of already having been chewed. It was impossible to tell what was going on with any of the other ingredients because they had become an indistinct mush. I could not have told you under threat of death what was in it. I thought frying it in oil later at home to get it crispy might help, but sadly, it did not. Goodbye, $15.

They offer a variety of cupcakes, cookies, and donuts, all plant based and gluten free, and everything I tried was incredible. The donuts especially stood out. I honestly didn't know a vegan donut could taste this amazing. They were soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet, and packed with flavor. Not dry or dense at all, just absolutely delicious. Whether you follow a vegan or gluten free diet or just love a great dessert, this bakery is 100 percent worth a visit. You would never guess these treats are vegan and gluten free. Highly recommend.

I decided to go with a cupcake variety. You don't get to pick what kinds you want. It's whatever they are baking that week, which worked fine. Half a dozen cupcakes are around $20, so I got four of them for $80, which was the right amount for 18 people, with leftovers. Do note that the website calls them "party size". I didn't know what that meant, so I called. It means regular size, which was a good thing at that price LOL. I was glad party size wasn't mini ones. Loved that I was able to order them via their website in advance. They were nicely boxed and ready for me when I arrived Saturday morning to pick them up. Easy breezy. And they were a hit unlike previous vegan cakes I've bought in the past from other places. I asked them to remind me what flavors they were and she suggested I take pics so I could let our guests know. So the attached pics show the yummy flavors.

I was also impressed by the wide variety of dessert options available, which made the experience even better. It's not always easy to find vegan desserts with both quality and selection, but they definitely delivered. This place is truly a gem, and I will definitely be back again.

And wouldn't be right not to order sweet tea. Andrew and his staff treated our table like we were royalty, so not only was the food incredible, we had an amazing experience, too. You can really tell the love and care that has been put into curating such an authentic, cool spot. Impeccable vibes.
