Sweet Basil's Cafe - Livingston

The vegan menu here is OUTSTANDING. They have a new completely vegan kitchen operating out of their restaurant and a full vegan menu. The owner and the chefs are clearly extremely proud of what they are creating, and I am grateful that they are serving such amazing vegan options! I have tried the vegan lentil soup, vegan chicken quesadilla, vegan buffalo chicken sandwich, and the vegan blueberry pancakes (which I added chocolate chips to) and each thing was better than the next! I highly recommend people try the vegan options here and spread the word about the vegan menu ! Can't wait to come back and try the vegan PB&J french toast! The owner also said that if they get enough support with the vegan lunch menu they will be adding a vegan dinner menu as well so please support them!!!

They have a designated vegan kitchen. Yes, they serve non-vegan foods, but this is the best I’ve seen for a restaurant that does both.

It rare to find a restaurant with its own vegan section AND have a tough time deciding between 2 dishes. The Vegan Veggie Tacos were very enjoyable with freshly roasted vegetables topped with vegan aioli. After eating the tacos with bread from the basked I was full. No wimpy portions here!

They have a good amount of vegan options. not the best food I’ve ever had but still quite good.

I was looking for a vegan restaurant in the area but there was nothing anywhere! None of the restaurants even mentioned having vegan food. Our usual go-tos in instances like this, Sushi places for vegetable sushi, had no seating. I am so happy I stumbled upon Sweet Basil's which at one time came up on my search engine but the second time was nowhere to be found. Luckily, my friend reminded me I had suggested it. This restaurant is great because they list a separate dedicated vegan/veg menu on their website. They do not print the menus but they said they will customize anything on the menu that they can. My husband had the lentil soup which was vegan and the artichoke risotto minus the cream to make it vegan. He liked both dishes very much. I had the vegan tacos. They were awesome! The veggies were so fresh and the ailio is made with vegan mayo. The avocado was perfect and generous. The staff was polite, knowledgeable and conscientious of COVID precautions. The cost of the food was very fair! Will definitely be back when I am in the area again.
