find serenity in the heart if the city at Franchia Vegan Cafe! eating here felt like I was at an oasis retreat - so peaceful & calming. very zen & spacious space! the food we tried was flavorful & so delicious. 100% vegan + gluten-free options

Hard to believe that all of the great food here is vegan since it tasted so good. The broth of the chef noodle soup had many dimensions of flavor. Noodles were a buckwheat & sweet potato blend that had unique and pleasant texture and carried the broth well. The pumpkin-misu was perfect for fall vibes and was a good combination of cream and pumpkin pie. The black sesame pie had a moderate sesame flavor with accents of salt in the crust.

New Favorite Vegan Korean Restaurant in NYC. Everything single dish - OMG - absolutely delicious!! I still think of their lion's mane fritter dish. It is a cutesy place with simple but very traditional looking Korean decor-especially the wood roof that needs to be called out for how beautiful it is. Basically authentic flavors & decor Only issue, the place is not designed to support big groups and if you are going with a baby, you will be seated on the ground floor with very few seating options.
