NuVegan Cafe Petersburg

First time for everything and they didn’t disappoint. The welcome was welcoming, the food was solid. I really appreciated that the cinnamon roll wasn’t ridiculously sweet - such a nice balanced treat. The drumsticks were fantastic, flavorful, crunch, filling. The greens were valid, no complaints. Now - the Mac it could’ve used a wee bit more love & something about the texture threw me off at first but it was GOOD. I will definitely go back for the steak and mushroom mashed potato meal, it’s 2 hours from me but i would definitely make the drive for quality vegan food. I do appreciate that it’s also black owned - absolutely love to see it! I also must add, getting the food is so nice and quick. Can’t beat that! Would definitely recommend, vegan or not. You outta visit. Circled back on 08/17 to try the pepper steak. With the yams and the collard greens 9/10 definitely recommend those 2 sides. On my third visit I’ll try the country fried steak!

We love NuVegan Café! Such a fresh, original concept for vegan dining. The food was absolutely delicious, and the team was super friendly and welcoming. The setup reminded us of a vegan twist on a Sonic Drive-In—complete with a tented outdoor seating area that gave it a fun, laid-back vibe. We ordered the garlic kale, mac and cheese, and a prepackaged drink—and *WOW*. Still can’t get over how good that vegan cheese was. Creamy, flavorful, and honestly better than some dairy versions I’ve had! Can’t wait to go back and try even more. Highly recommend for anyone—vegan or not—looking for flavorful plant-based food with great energy.

Beautiful service! The food was amazing but being able to actually feel the owners care about what you’re about eat felt even better! I helped with the removal of an old pole sign and won’t forget the absolute treat I received, with a plate of food. I look forward to going back every time!

Ok…listen….now listen again. When I tell you I did several double takes looking at the food like we were having a stare down because it was so delicious. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽. This is not a paid review. Nor was I asked to leave one. This is based on my mid meal experience lol. Portion size….#onpoint, flavor….#onpoint…price….#onpoint….timely delivery…..#onpoint. I finished off the meal (in pics) with a slice of banana bread and a coconut cookie 🤤…I almost got emotional lol. Curbside and DoorDash for now but I can’t wait to enjoy the atmosphere when the dine in option is available. Definitely a gem for the Petersburg area!

Words can’t describe how good the food was. Definitely a 10/10. I got the chicken sammich with kale, cabbage, yams, and Mac n cheese. The service was great and I highly recommend this business. My new favorite spot

Everything was absolutely stunning and delicious. Portions are huge, staff was incredibly friendly, and I can't say in enough words how fabulous the food is. 10000/10 Thank you for the pleasure of getting to enjoy your cooking 🖤

I work for Amazon and came in to deliver a package and I was lucky enough to meet the owner who gave me a huge sample of his food! I was excited to try some vegan food and it did not disappoint! The Drummies are amazing!!!! And the Mac n’ cheese was so good! The staff was so friendly as well and I will definitely be returning on my own time!

I’m so glad NuVegan is back. The food is even more delicious. I’ve gone twice now and each time the food and service have been phenomenal. Both times I got drummies and mac n cheez. The second time I also got a fish sandwich that I meant to share with my sister but it was so good I convinced her to let me have the entire thing lol. Also the drummies with 2 sides is enough for two meals (for me at least) so while the meal may seem a bit $$ at first it’s actually a good deal.

Vegan food with Southern flare! At the time of my visit, there was no dine-in option. Call in your order or pull in, park and someone walks out to take your order. I ordered the Rasta Pasta and it was good. The quality of food is really good.

I'd been hoping for a vegan spot in Petersburg for years because I frequent the area. Stumbled upon NuVegan and was NOT disappointed. My honey and I got the black bean burger and kale salads. I love the garlic salad but I actually mixed them. We then ordered the drumsticks which were the best! They also brought out samples

Sometimes in life better yet, monthly you should try something new. NuVegan Cafe has plenty of parking. I truly enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and staff interaction. I enjoyed the testimonial from a regular customer who spoke of her weight loss journey since changing to eating one vegan meal a day. It is set up cafeteria style so you have a variety of options. I ordered savoy beans, rice & gravy and chk'n drummies. I was surprised that vegan tasted so good, The seasoning of everything was amazing! But don't forget dessert. I tried the pineapple upside down cake. Who knew that eating healthy could taste so darn good.

The restaurant was great! The staff were informative and knowledgeable about the food served. (Not vegan just like healthier choices). Thanks for the patience and providing healthy choices. The food was great! Highly recommend.

I love it here! I was so happy when I found out they moved to Petersburg! The shrimp is so good! The Mac and cheese never misses and don't get me started on the vegan crab cakes!! The owners and staff are so welcoming! Can't wait to go back!

They currently have service where the waittress comes to your car and takes your order then brings it out. Youc an also phone in your order. This was my first time at NuVegan. My waittress was very friendly and made suggestions. Since going vegan 4 years ago, it is seafood that I miss the most. I could not decide between the shrimp and crab cake so my server suggested I get a split order. The shrimp had a texture similar to real shrimp and they were just crunchy enough. Had a subtle flavor and were cooked just right. The crab cake was fabulous! Was seasoned and tasted just like a crab cake. Seasoned perfectly. Loved the texture, crispy and moist at the same time. I was given a container of sauce for the shrimp. It had a nice flavor not sure what it iwas but almost had a sweet and sour type flavor. I am a big remoulade sauce fan for seafood so would love to try it with that. I got mac and cheese as a side. I wish I lived closer to this place( I live about 50 miles away). I look forward to my next visit. I really enjoyed my meal. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food that you get. If you are near Petersburg, definitely give this place a try.

My friends talk on and on about the chkn drummies and they are delicious. It's the vegan mac for me though. The crab cakes and black bean burger are delicious too.

I have been eating at NuVegan for several years now. They had a location in downtown Richmond, VA then transitioned to Petersburg. And I transitioned right along with them. They have some of the best vegan and vegetarian foods that I have ever eaten. The food is cooked to serve and taste sooo good. Being a vegetarian in Virginia (in this area) has not been easy. But finding NuVegan was like finding a diamond. The staff are extremely personable and very willing to accommodate your request. I decided to have a special dinner for my husband's birthday and they delivered the food to my home piping hot. I recommend that you call your order in advance as they get really busy. The chik'n wings (vegan) are the best, my husband absolutely loves them. Each and every dish taste wonderful and the pricing is reasonable. I would recommend this gem to anyone who loves vegan soul food, you will not be disappointed. I have shared the chik'n wings with my non-vegan friends and they absolutely did not believe it wasn't real chicken, and they loved them. So vegetarian/vegan or meat eater you should try NuVegan, you will be pleasantly surprised.

The food is amazing and the staff i s excellent! Such a warm and inviting atmosphere with quick service! They even have gluten free and allergy free options!
