Arnold's Way

It has been a minute since I had been back to Arnold's. It was as always amazing. Did the spaghetti sauce white Alfredo sauce. Washed it down with a berry blast whip. Grabbed a bunch of dehydrated pizza's and snacks. I am ready for the week. The food is freshly made and it tastes amazing but that is not the best part. This is actually really good for you too. Can't wait to go back.

I must start off by saying Arnold's is definitely NOT going to be for everyone. It can seem kind of cult-ish. Like the kind you would find in the desert in Cali in the late 60's. Not the Manson following kind, the "we're going to change the world one vegan and a time" kind. And I gotta give it to them, they help out A LOT of people with all types of ailments. Whether it's high blood pressure, high cholesterol, pre-cancer, obesity, Arnold makes it his mission to heal. I'm a big believer in "let food be thy medicine", and Arnold actually proves it! Arnold himself is always around. Whether he's actually behind the counter cooking up a storm, simply ringing people out, or just chatting about his many books he's written over the years that line the shelves in the space, he's bound to be available. He's an absolute character, and conversations with him can be inspiring. His passion for veganism is obvious and enjoyable to witness. Follow him on Instagram as he interviews patrons and friends, and post coupons! Everyone who frequents Arnold's seem to know at least somebody else, and everyone is always super friendly, striking up plant-based hippie conversations with one another. I personally enjoy the community. Some may just want to come and eat, and mind their own business. I say embrace it all. Like an experience, not just a meal. After all, raw vegan is a lifestyle, not just a diet. They often host 30 day raw vegan challenges, all you can eat nights at such a reasonable price, and pot luck dinners too! If you're a newbie to the raw vegan food movement, definitely start by indulging in one for their famous banana whips aka vegan "ice cream". They have a variety of pre-designed recipes and the option to top your own with healthful add-ins such as cashews, caramel date sauce or cacao. You can even add other fresh fruits such as mango and strawberries too. They are sure to please even the toughest critics of "weirdo veg-heads and the food they eat"I have enjoyed their zucchini noodle fettuccine, thick, filling smoothies and many of their salads. I personally LOVE the open faced "living cracker" sammies best. "Toona" and the "cheeseburger" are my two favorites! They're topped with special sauce, pickles that add the perfect punch, carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, and I always add avocado for an addition charge because, well, it's avocado!!! The crackers themselves have awesome texture and it's nice knowing all of the nutrients haven't been cooked or baked out of them. SO YUM! Their desserts are not to be missed either. Raw key lime vegan pie and apple pie are my favorite. The key lime has the perfect tart taste, (but let it thaw a bit), and the apple pie with warm spices and hunks of the fruit with a date mixed nut crust is incredible. I always pick up his kale chips and his "cheese" spread to bring back home, WHEN the cheese is available. It's everyone's favorite! They also sell oils, bulk bags of ingredients such as cacao nibs, coconut oil, hemp seeds, chia seeds, vitamins, Himalayan salt lamps and other health conscious goods, books and foods. The space is inviting and small, but a tad odd. Ordering can be a bit strange too. Order at the counter, pay at the other counter, grab a seat and they'll bring your food out when it's done. Super laid back. Arnold's can be a tad difficult to find as it's located inside a small mall. Bring quarters for meters out front when the parking lot in the back is closed, which it has been recently. I wish Arnold would open a location in the city as raw vegan is my absolute favorite way to eat and this is just sooooo far from Philly. I feel so naturally energized when I eat this way, and I admire the creativity to cook this food so very much. Absolutely worth a try for the slightly more adventurous and open-minded foodies. Food & mission are 5 star in my book. -1 for locale and ambiance. Not sure if that's fair or not.

So delicious and healthy! I don't often eat raw, but happy to have this option with delivery and takeout. My favorite was the pizza!

Ambiance: I was confused at first. It didn't seem like an eating establishment. There was a guy chilling in the corner, studying. And he was on and off the trampoline incessantly. It was noon on a Thursday. Food: we came to have a vegan lunch. And a vegan lunch we had! It certainly did look and taste like a vegan meal. Unlike the Green Fork that tastes more satisfying and appetizing. Service: AMAZING!! Everyone is sooooo nice here!!Overall: I will certainly be back again to try more dishes. I haven't given up on Arnold's Way!

Best vibes and food around! Make you go bananas! grateful to have such amazing service with friendly people handling your food is so important the energy of the people making your food to the food source that they're using. I Honor their integrity.

It was our first time there. Arnold is an Amazing Man. At 76 years old. He looks very good. Very Healthy. Nice meeting and talking to different people who have been Vegan for many years. The food we had was outstanding. Can't wait till we go back for the desserts. So many things to look at and read. The service was with a Smile. A really Neat place.

Great food especially the banana whips, and the smoothies are all truly tasty and healthy for you too. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants good food that not only tastes good but makes you feel good. Every time I have one of their "tuna" wraps or Nori rolls, my brain physically feels more awake and alert. Honestly could go on and on about how this place has helped me. Give it a try!

Açaí bowls, banana whips and smoothies are a great deal. Healthy food for cheap. Salads and soups are also amazing. Arnold and staff are always friendly. Also a great place to stop for natural supplements, healthy lifestyle books, cleaning supplies, and crystals. The inside of the store has a lot of plants for fresh air. This is a great place to meet friends.

Most visit place. They've so much options. I tired the chocolate smoothie with a bunch of nuts and fruits. It was one of kind and I will have to again.

Great vibes. Hidden gem in Lansdale. I love popping in and getting a hug from Arnold. He attracts amazing people. I always meet cool and interesting people there. Love the avocado sandwich. Love his nori wraps. Went through a long phase where I only ordered his gorilla wrap with vegan tuna and avocado. Yum. Oh you gotta try the vegan pies. I'm not even vegan! Love his food.
