Living On the Veg: Reviews & Ratings
You need to come here. The food is incredible, the ice cream is delicious, the people are wonderful and the atmosphere is awesome. From the punk rock theme (love the stockers based on punk bands - can you name them?) To all of the homemade food and desserts, this place is my new go to when in the area! And it should be yours too! Fully vegan, they also have gluten free options available, homemade everything, great drink selection, and oat based soft serve? Perfect.
Somehow just went here for the first time, and I plan on going any time I can. Food was incredible, vibes were immaculate and staff was so incredibly sweet. The hot food from the kitchen is great, and the baked goods and milkshakes are perfect for grabbing on the way out. Highly recommend the chuckwich, olde city, and the nachos
My partner and I stopped here for a bite while on a 6 week camper van road trip. We were looking for something tasty, yet clean and fresh to satisfy our vegan cravings. Living On the Veg DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Each bite we took was immediately followed by glances at the menu to strategize the next order. Couldn’t pass up the soft serve ice cream, which was amazing. We came back the next day for breakfast too. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the food was 10 out of 10. We can’t wait to return here next time we are in town. Thank you LOV!

Amazing Picky vegan eater here and don't like the processed substitutes. This place goes beyond homemade. The daily special " buffalo soldier " was incredible.. potato salad was 10/10. Can't wait to come back and enjoy!
Amazing Spot for Vegan/Vegetarian Food! We stopped by this place on our way back from a motorcycle ride to Barnegat Lighthouse, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. I ordered the black bean burger, while my wife and son had a sandwich and burritos. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The service was friendly and efficient, and the juice bar area with high chairs added a nice, comfortable touch. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d definitely come back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great plant-based options!
I’ve been coming here for years. It Never disappoints! Today I had The Knuckle Sandwich, sooooo good!
