Down To Earth Whole Foods - Binghamton

I don’t live nearby, but whenever I visit family, I always stop by the café. While not everything on the menu is vegan, that doesn’t bother me. They offer great food options, a variety of delicious homemade vegan cookies, and their kombucha on tap is some of the best I've ever tasted. The staff is also very friendly. One time, I wanted to purchase a smaller amount of vegan chocolate chips than what was available in their pre-filled containers. They happily found a smaller container and filled it halfway with chocolate chips for me without any issues.

I ordered the vegan steak with green beans, and it was quite disappointing. The steak tasted like cardboard, despite a few spicy seasonings. The green beans seemed overcooked and tasted sour. I’m leaving this review for my own reference to remember what to avoid in the future. The staff at the counter were polite but seemed quite busy. This is an update to my previous review from November 2, 2021.

This restaurant offers a diverse menu with a variety of options, primarily focusing on vegan dishes. They feature many unique vegan foods that are difficult to find in larger chain grocery stores. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I haven't tried the vegan deli yet, but I'll provide an update once I do.

I don't live in the area, but every time I visit family, I make it a point to stop by DTEWF. While not everything on the menu is vegan, I don't mind because they offer great grocery selections, an assortment of delicious homemade vegan cookies, and some of the best kombucha on tap that I've ever tasted. The staff is also really friendly.

I ordered the vegan steak with green beans, and it was quite disappointing. The steak had a texture and flavor reminiscent of cardboard, with just a hint of seasoning. The green beans tasted like they were from a can and had a sour flavor. I’m writing this review mainly as a personal reminder of what to avoid in the future. On a positive note, the guy at the counter was honest and let me know he was busy. This is an update from my previous review on November 2, 2021.
