I’ve been to Red’s Leaf Cafe a total of 3 times. This amazing Vegan Cafe is very precious to me! 😃 The HAPPY energy in the cafe is immediately apparent. The food & the drinks are vibrantly colorful and the melange of uniquely delicious flavors are mind blowing! The beautiful way the food is plated is a true art form. Each visit feels like a fun culinary journey! It doesn’t matter if ur vegan or not, the delicious & unique array of foods is always a thrill! When I know I’m going to be there, I always feel giddy like a kid in a candy store. I’ll let the pictures speak now. See for yourself. We are lucky to have this unique cafe in NJ.

I've been here twice for breakfast and then lunch. Both meals were excellent. Everyone was happy with their food. The food is tasty and beautifully presented. There is a range of prices, with the upper end approaching $30. There are mocktails, smoothies and other healthful soft drinks The place has indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating has stools so we opted for table inside.

Quick Review: Plant-Based Perfection If you’re looking for a spot where the food is fast but the quality is high, this is it. We walked right in with no wait time, and for $40 for a two-person meal, the value is genuinely hard to beat. Here is the breakdown of the dishes: • Lentil Soup: A soulful, hearty start. It felt incredibly nourishing—exactly what you want from a well-seasoned, classic lentil base. • Chimichurri Seitan: The absolute star of the show. The seitan had a fantastic texture, and the chimichurri added a bright, herby zing that cut through the richness perfectly. • Panini Sandwich: Perfectly pressed and packed with flavor. It had that satisfying crunch on the outside while staying tender and savory on the inside.

I don't know why Google removed my previous review and pictures but this is the 2nd time coming here. Both times were excellent. Food is prepared with care! You can tell that Nathaly, the owner, loves what she does. I recommend the fried oyster mushroom appetizer which I've had twice now. Everything on the menu is health conscious but does not taste like it. Will be coming back to try other items on the menu next time. The drinks are fantastic too! Lots of unique drink options.

Red's Leaf Cafe has become a new favorite spot this summer! I am happy to go out of my way to visit this VEGAN establishment- it is well worth it. The prices are very reasonable, the menu items are well portioned and filling, and the service is always wonderful. Most importantly, the food is absolutely scrumptious. My favorites so far are the Soy Sticks (my absolute favorite vegan drumsticks I've tried ANYWHERE) and the Nacho platter which is bursting with gooey flavor. I've enjoyed everything I've tried so far and look forward to trying many more of the creations coming from this kitchen. It's a cute spot with some outdoor tables and plenty of nearby parking, so there's no reason not to check them out!
