“ My friend Pinar and I recently found this gem in Brooklyn during a birthday weekend in the city. The owner, Rony, turned out to be the true jewel of our entire four-day vacation. We visited twice--once for dinner and once for a late breakfast/early lunch--so we tried many items. Rony is a Haitian American veteran and symbolizes what makes our country great when it's truly realized and accepted. Now, on to the food... During our first visit, we tried the Toona Salad, the vegan steak with steamed rice and green beans, and the plantains. During the second visit, three days later, we ordered the chickpea curry, apple oats, and the tofu scramble wrap. You can tell by the pictures how delightfully everything is presented, and the flavor was a hundredfold as good. I'm not vegan or vegetarian like my friend, who has been vegan for many years, but I wasn't missing anything. I've loved mushrooms and tofu my whole meat-eating life, and when correctly marinated and prepared, both are textural marvels, ranging from delicate and custardy to deep-fried and crunchy. Their unmatched flavor-absorbing powers make mushrooms and tofu a blank canvas waiting for the artist to make their mark. Rony Theodore is such an artist; he created all of these wonderful flavors and recipes. I can see why, as we enjoyed our meals, there were people constantly picking up to-go orders. He never missed a beat acknowledging their presence and keeping the customers engaged during our entire visit, both times. The staff is friendly and top-notch; you can tell they feel appreciated and part of the family. The chickpeas in the Toona Salad provide a low-glycemic protein option that I couldn't have imagined before trying it. Growing up military, I've had my fair share of tuna sandwiches, and I'm happy to have the chickpea version from now on. The plantains and their special sauce weren't sweet or glazed like I've had in the past, and I appreciate being able to enjoy them lightly fried without any extra sugar; like Rony, they're sweet enough as they come. The chickpea curry was super flavorful, and the texture was perfection. The green beans were sauteed flawlessly both times and flavored with garlic, as they should be. I only had a bite of the apples and oats before Pinar polished off the entire bowl in under four minutes--seriously... I'm mad about it. Did you only need a great latte? Don't miss out on the God-tier espresso machine and burr grinder; the staff is trained to make amazing macchiatos along with several other espresso- or coffee-based beverages. Also worth mentioning are the various coconut waters in the fridge towards the back of the restaurant. I've never been a fan of coconut water, but I bought a case of the bottled version because it's really like having someone hand you a coconut with a straw during an island getaway. Hearing the Haitian language spoken by Rony to his staff gave me some smooth-brain feelings; it's such a beautiful language. I'm fairly certain Brooklyn has a plethora of Caribbean-themed restaurants, but with respect to the others, this one stands out well above anything I've tried before. You can tell this establishment appeals to a healthier crowd, being located directly across from a large gym. Everyone is friendly inside and out, and all of the locally made artwork will keep your attention as you wait for your meal. Stop by on your next trip to Brooklyn and do yourself a favor: spread the love and eat healthy. You won't miss the calories or the cholesterol, and you might make a friend for life, as I did. ”

“ Just ordered from this place for the first time, and I’m highly satisfied! The fried oyster mushrooms, black rice, and broccoli were absolutely delicious. The set up inside is small but very clean and chic. I definitely recommend this place if you want to try an all vegan dish for the first time. Great seasoning and batter. You surely will not be disappointed! *P.S. heads up this business has two spaces which are right next to each other, one for juices, and the other for food. Make sure when you order online you and your courier are aware of both* ”

“ The food was absolutely amazing. The open concept , so you can see how your food is being made, the owner was awesome as well as the workers. Listen yall in town come check them out. Money well spent which leaves your tummy happy after. ”

“ First time eating here and stepping foot inside. And from the very start i was greeted and welcomed. The whole menu was overwhelming and a great way just because i wanted everything. Ronnie was amazing at answer all my questions and helping me pick up my option. I ordered the Salmon Rice vegetable and absolutely amazing... will definitely be back to try other options. THANKS RONNIE AND SPREAD LOVE & EAT!!!! ”

“ Delicious food with unbelievable vegan options for the health conscious all at terrific prices. Loved this place so much we went twice. The owner is also a veteran living the American dream and has the biggest heart. Don’t hesitate at all. Just eat here!!! ”

“ I came to this restaurant for a quick lunch with my aunt and everything we had was delicious. I will definitely be returning, the owners hospitality and conversation made the experience all the better. My favorite thing was the cauliflower garlic Parmesan wings! ”

“ I had the oyster mushroom sandwich with sweet potato fries. It was 8/10 for me. Very flavorful and a good-sized portion. It could've been a 10/10 if the packaging kept my food from getting soggy. I waited 10 minutes before someone even acknowledged me, which I didn't like. I wish someone would've fixed me to the kiosk so I could've just ordered instead of waiting to order. I waited another 20 minutes for my food to be done, which I didn't mind because I like my food well done. I will be going back again because the food is good and I know to go straight to the kiosk and order if it's someone else already ordering ”

“ The restaurant is beautiful and the employees are so friendly. The food was BOMB! Def one of my top 5 favorite vegan restaurants. Amazing service, great food, great prices. Thank you so much. See you soon ”
