I wanted very much to like this place, but each time I went back hoping for more I was still disappointed. I've eaten there once and had takeout 4-5 times, and basically the food is mediocre and overpriced (e.g., 'side of greens' is simply a garnish), and the staff seems maybe to have been hired for their ideology without concern for service experience. Service is slow, confused, and disinterested.

Firstly, I should say that I'm not vegan/veg, though eat and enjoy vegan/veg foods. I've been to V-Spot 3 times over the years. The first time, I wrote off the bad experience as a new restaurant finding its feet and mistakenly hiring incompetent/unfriendly waitstaff and charging $7 for a bean burger consisting of a small bun and a handfull of beans. The second time I went, I was equally unimpressed with the food, the staff and the pretentious attitudes that are oftentimes wrongly associated with places like this, though at the V-spot, the attitudes were present (i.e. hipster, lazy, egotistical, holier than thou attitude). My sister, a vegan, was in town over the weekend and desperate to try V-Spot, despite my claims that I'd never go back. The waitstaff was beyond horrific. In addition to asking for menus, water, salt, utensils and the status of our food, the food took FOREVER to come (in a restaurant that had possibly 15 patrons). My friend is gluten intolorant and asked about ingrediants in an item, the waitress responded that she didn't know, but probably it was probably ok, though never checked or asked the chef. (She ordered something "safe," as she didn't want to risk getting sick with the waitress' guess about ingredients.) I ordered pasta with marinara and veggies - the safest thing I could find on the menu (how can you screw up pasta?!) and home fries. The pasta was passable and light on the sauce means LIGHT, but at $12/plate, it should be passable! The homefries came after the rest of the food STONE COLD. I did get hot ones, though had to flag down the waitress (as she never once asked us how we were enjoying our meal, despite being the table next to the register/bar). Now, I will never EVER go back. The food was sub par, the service was horrific and the scene was dull, at best. The next day, sis and I went to S'Nice (5th Ave, 2nd St), also vegan/veg and both of us loved the food, staff and ambiance! GO THERE INSTEAD!

I've now been here 3 times for brunch and all 3 times I loved it! They have brunch on Saturday and Sunday which I really like. The best is the breakfast burrito and the tofu scramble. Get the bacon-but pass on the sausage. And you can order a side of pancakes-which I love. The mimosa was very strong so I only had one-but they do offer unlimited for $10. Take your friends here and show them how good vegan food can be. Trust me-you won't miss out on anything.
