Fons Empanadas

Deeeelicious! Just stopped by and jumped down 2 empanadas—tinga & mushroom. Very yummy, I want to try the other flavors. Thank you for giving me the garlic sauce (soy-based) to try, as a garlic-lover I devoured that as well. It was extremely tasty but I will not be kissing anyone right now haha 😂 We need more cultural foods and meals that are plant-based so we can enjoy these cuisines and this is a great addition to the neighborhood. I’ll be back for sure! Small seating area inside with 2 tables. Accept cc/ApplePay No restrooms Very friendly co-owner/staff working.

Such a great location for a quick lunch break; there’s a little park right outside. The garlic is a must with your empanadas, and every flavor is fantastic. Love how cute this was!

Plant-based empanada with scrumptious fillings that you dip in an incredibly tasty garlic sauce - delicious treat. A new spot along Bleecker St, across from Fr Demo Square along 6th Ave. I highly recommend you stop by and try out their offerings. Their acai bowls are delightful, as well! A must try if you love your acai. The place is not huge with only 2 indoor table seating. But across is Fr Demo Square with several benches and on the side is a little park with benches, as well. Come by and try it out!

Growing up within the Latino culture, we eat empanadas all the time. It’s a staple but being vegan it has been so difficult to eat or find empanadas !! I found this place on TikTok recommended by @veganbodegacat and I knew I had to go downtown to try! It’s a tiny shop off Blecker and I was surprised by all the options available! The gentleman working at the counter was extremely patient because we had no idea what to choose! The empanadas were absolutely delicious and hot! and I would 💯 come back for more. They had a great deal and honestly made me order more then excepted to buy! And I loved every bite!

Yummy plant based empanadas. The ingredients tasted fresh and good quality. Also liked that the empanadas were not greasy. We tried all the flavors except the pulled BBQ which has brown sugar. All seven flavors we tried were great. Favorite were tinga (carrot based dough) and the sweet potato chili.

Omg this place is great. Delicious vegan empenadas and dips. I got the chotizo cheese and potato and the Pulled BBQ, which are all vegan. Pretty colors Open late too. Great customer service. They are also a drink available house. My tea was Devine. See my full review on Instagram at Annastravelsnyc and TikTok Annastravels.

Fantastic place, excellent service always clean and neat! I never heard of vegan empanadas and I give it a try and it was one of the best empanadas I ever had. I had the chorizo cheese and potato and the tinga, amazing 😍I would recommend it 100% can’t wait to come back and try other flavors and the açaí blows!

The smoothie was amazing and so were the empanadas! They are baked and made of cool ingredients!

Delicious empanadas. I was very impressed by the service, attention to detail and delicious empanadas. They came out extremely fast after we ordered and we were not disappointed. Don't expect to be able to sit here, though. This is more of a grab and go place which for NYC, makes sense.

Love to see a small place specialize in such unique plant-based flavors. The menu breadth is impressive! Visited mid-morning and they were out of most items, and explained that they regularly run out of things, getting more every couple weeks, versus running out of a days batch at a time. The Tinga empanada had good flavor, well-seasoned, but the dough was quite tough/stale and overall the texture lacked a sense of freshness. I would return if I was nearby, to see if the other flavors were available to try. Service was very friendly.

A to-go place for empanadas and drinks. Unfortunately my empanadas came out a little burnt on the edges so the first few bites were very hard and dry. But the filling was really great.

DELICIOUS!!! They had a variety of ALL VEGAN EMPANADAS! It said that they should all be different colors but it was hard to tell in the end. I bought a pack of them for my family and they loved it. This is a casual service counter with açaí and empanadas. The guy who worked there explained all the flavors and recommended some to try. You get 10% off with student ID as well.

This place is delicious very tasty has an incredible taste I had the Ropa Vieja and it was so good don't forget the garlic sauce the blueberry & lavender lemonade is so good I highly recommend this place the service is amazing super clean smells amazing and can't wait to come back omg I cannot believe this was so good

Food was amazing. Service was fast and ready to go. The colors bring a nice feeling of calmness

I first learned about Fons in Chicago. So glad to have them now in NYC! The only place I know that offers an all vegan empanada menu. Each savory empanada is colorful, made with unique ingredients, and offer vegan protein. At $5 each, you may get full from having two. I tried the sweet potato chili (not very spicy), andean, margherita, and smoky mushroom. All of the empanadas I ordered were great, but my favorites were the smokey mushroom (green color) and the Margherita (orange color). Also, got the sweet apple cinnamon empanada (blue color) to finish off with something sweet. This was okay....I prefer the savory ones. The empanadas are ready and placed in an oven when you order. You may also just order them and bake at home for freshness. The menu features lemonades and iced teas as well. The space is shared with deep purple, which sells acai fruit cups. Seating is limited to two tables. No restrooms. A great casual and quick vegan dining option near NYU.

Delicious plant-based empanadas. Many interesting flavors. I wish it was easier to tell the flavors inside without cutting them. The colors are too subtle.

Really good food but not enough empanada options, and the smoothies are really good as well

Cool concept, very unique flavor combinations, and good vegan ingredients. They also come out piping hot. The empanadas are not huge and at $5 a pop, there are less expensive options for big orders. For the novelty and taste, these are a great snack. My friends ordered the lattes and were beyond pleased. Would come back soon.
