While it's becoming increasingly easier to find vegan food, finding quality vegan can be a challenge. Hard to believe, but true.This is such a place. A place you need to at least experience and judge for yourself.Great thing is they have an All American menu with plenty of plant-based options. Something for everyone. The chicken and waffles are something I'll never understand. People love 'em, it's a lasting fad, I'll try them. These are pretty good. Not good enough to make a convert of me, but recommended.I don't quite get the whole chicken is made from King oyster mushrooms, thing. Huh? No matter. I ate it. Really enjoyed it.Highlight for me was the excellent service and the total ambiance of the place. Can't speak to the value for the buck aspect, but i believe we'll be back! 08/24

Once more into the chicken and waffles adventure. This time, my buddy obviously was looking to change things up a bit and suggested vegan chicken and waffles. Really?! I didn't even know they existed. But yea, they are out there and they are...delicious. I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant (okay, really hesitant) when we walked into the small but friendly Lifestyle Cafe. Ordering was a breeze; walk up to the iPad thing and out your own order in, customizing as you please. Unfortunately they were out of the mushroom version so we got the Seitan and Soy versions. He ordered the Seitan and i ordered the soy but we split it up so we could each try. First, the waffles. A bit darker than expected but excellent. You could really taste the cinnamon and coconut sugar brûlée, which was a nice differentiator. Solid waffle. The Seitan was great, deep flavor and nice crunchiness. The soy was decent but it was basically soy with some batter, not nearly as much flavor. I am not vegan but I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu. If they can make a solid vegan chicken and waffles, I'm interested to see what else they can do.

I can't believe I wasn't here sooner. Lifestyle cafe offers vegan sandwiches, melts, and much more. Takes on familiar classics. I had the beyond melt, and my partner had the BLT. Also shared chili. The inside is warm and with lofi vibes. You order by QR code or the iPad. The interior had nice chalk art, plants, and hipster light fixtures. Also those ceilings that make you feel that the place used to be a bank or old post office. I just loved my beyond melt. It came with pita chips. The French fries were great. Would definitely come back.

The food was really good. I have "chicken" and waffles. The chicken was oyster mushrooms. I' don't like mushrooms but I met the owner and she talked me in to trying it. I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely recommend trying this place. It's not a huge place so I would suggest a carry out but they did have a few seats if you wanted to eat there

My daughter and I found our way to Lifestyle because I was craving good vegan food. This charming little cafe did not disappoint!I had the best and fanciest avocado toast of life. It featured marinated, toasted coconut bits on top that were pure magic! The chef admitted they are a labor of love. I would put these on EVERYTHING.My kiddo, who is notoriously picky, had the mango smoothie. I didn't tell her all the healthy goodness packed into it - she took one sip and said it tasted like mango cake batter ice cream. I barely got a sip myself to try it - her description was spot-on.Come for the amazing cuisine, stay for the adorable setting and good vibes. I will definitely be back!

Oh. My, Word! This place makes insanely good vegan food. My wife and I stopped in on a whim and left 100% satisfied. The set up is a little different. We were instructed to either order online or at their kiosk. That kind of threw me for a loop and would've been an issue except when that food came out, I didn't even care. It was THAT good. I had the fried mushrooms and the Breakfast Melt. My wife tried a salad that came along with fresh chips and spicy dressing. She also got a bottle of kombucha.My only complaint is the weird issue of ordering. I'd rather rattle something off to someone rather than mess with a kiosk or ordering off my phone. I'm less inclined to leave a decent tip if I'm having to do all this myself. But, the food was again THAT good that I'm not even removing a star for the restaurant .I'll definitely be back.

All vegan choices. It has many good things to choose from. Lifestyle Cafe is a welcome choice for the Olde Town East neighborhood. Has fairly good prices for what you get. They have things like salads and wraps. Has a small inside where you order at the counter. It has lots of pastries on display. The menu is on the kiosk. Order yourself and you pay for it here. The food looked good and it was hard to choose something. I got the BLT wrap that's made with fake bacon. It's about $12 for a pretty big size. This comes with avocado aioli, basil pesto, spinach, tomatoes, and vegan cream cheese, and comes with seasoned tortillas. I also had to get a pastry. They have plant based ones like the oatmeal sandwich. If you like vegan food come here. Many things to choose from and all non dairy options. This is another black owned business so come support them.

Lifestyle was phenomenal! So I'm pretty new to plant based lifestyle. It's so hard to find GOOD plant based meals without cooking them yourself. But this place did it for me. The vegan cheese was so cheesy! I had the Patty melt I've been twice and got that both times The ambiance is so free. It's a small space, but you immediately feel welcomed. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Did I mention it's black owned?? The only downside was they didn't have the sweet potatoes fries neither time I've gone.

This place is one of the best plant based places we have tried. The food is excellent. They have a great menu. All of the typical American favorites... just plant based. Seating is tight. Many plant based places are like that. Not sure why. But worth it.
