“ I love Next Stop Vegan in Downtown Brooklyn! The food is delicious, but what makes it even better is the amazing hospitality. The owner is so personable and takes the time to speak with customers, which really makes the experience feel special. The portions are huge, which I absolutely love. Highly recommend, and I’m not even vegan! Honestly, everything on the menu is a must-order. ”
“ The food was amazing ! I had the Dominican independence special dish, Moro negro with pastelon. A must-try for anyone looking to celebrate Dominican cuisine with a vegan twist. I can’t wait to go back! You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in what they do. The great service made the whole experience even better. ”
“ Food is bomb! One of my personal favorite. I’ve probably tried their entire menu and not one complaint. About anything! All of who I introduce to NSV have had a good experience. It’s the perfect space for a non vegan to flirt with the fact that vegan food taste good. The owner is so welcoming when you dine in and the entire staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Best Caribbean vegan food in NYC. ”
“ Our first time at this place, and we loved it! The food was uniformly delicious, and the atmosphere has a very positive and inclusive vibe. Wonderfully friendly and attentive staff (special shout-out to Degar, our server). We'll be back soon, and will be warmly recommending this to all our friends (even the non-vegans). There was a customer there in a wheelchair, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate them. ”
“ Absolutely must visit for unique and diverse vegan food!! Not only is the food incredibly delicious but the owners Blenlly & Javier are so kind and welcoming (as is their staff). I also love how they continuously innovate in the kitchen and introduce new vegan specials — like their most recent bbq rib plate!! I’ve tried many of their dishes and loved every single thing here. Seriously can’t recommend them enough for vegan food that is actually filling and flavorful ”
