My husband and I were at Nu Cafe for brunch today and were mind blown with Buddha bowl, curried cauliflower bowl and the burger. The ginger garlic dressing elevated the taste by multifolds, and I could only wish that they start selling those in bottles in near future. Aside from the bowls, there are several other options for vegans/vegetarians looking to grab high-quality meal at reasonable price, including smoothies, sandwiches and burgers. I must mention that this was our first time here, but definitely not the last.
Nu kitchen is a great place to get healthier quick foods. Their salads and sandwiches are delicious and they have many healthy juices to chose from. They have seating inside and it is quiet enough to even work from there. The hard part is to find parking. There are some meter parking, however, you may have to park a few blocks down on Union square.
After eating a bunch of really good, but rather unhealthy food for the last week, this place was a healthy reduce that was much needed. We saw the good reviews online and we figured parking would be better here than in downtown Boston area so we gave it a try!Parking, as imagined, was pretty easy. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful and had nice decor all over. The restaurant used lots of woods and plants for the decorations which combined well together.The menu was overwhelming with the many good options, but that’s not too much a bad thing. Overall, I decided on the Honey Goat Avocadosandwich and an Oahu Açaí Bowl. Both options were exception and I was very delighted with the presentation and the quality of the food. I recommend switching out the bread for a bagel on the sandwich as recommended by the staff.Overall great experience and would 100% recommend and come back!
Tried this place for the first time due to the overall good reviews and decent number of vegetarian options. Ordered the SoCal smoothie which was delicious, lemonade which was also very good and scones.The scones were probably the worst scones I've ever had in my entire life. I have had the good fortune of eating scones in Scotland and from many other Scottish friends. Firstly they're round in shape but I can ignore that. They are either unsweetened or very slightly sweetened and most importantly they're plain! They're plain because they're usually eaten with cream and jam or butter and jam.The scones I got from NU kitchen were so thoroughly loaded in cinnamon and sugar that it was impossible to taste anything else. I will never understand the American obsession with cinnamon but that's a whole other topic. The scones were dry and crumbly and not moist at all, which is the opposite of what a good scone should be like. It's a shame because the SoCal smoothie was so perfectly balanced in terms of sweetness that I know that at least they do understand how to not make everything sugary!
I love this place. Very delicious food and healthy too. My go to for brunch in Somerville
Delicious food and spectacular customer service. Our barista Mike helped us navigate the menu and made some recommendations that we went with and we were very happy with those choices! He also made what might be the best margarita I've ever had. Cheers to Nu Kitchen, and to our barista Mike, we will be back without a doubt. Keep up the good work!
Salad was good . However added short ribs, which was thin an overcooked. Did not get the value. Had one of their juices it was ok but not worth the high price, which almost equal to my meal. I do not believe they have good ventilation, because my clothing smelled like their kitchen when I got home. Interesting menu, good idea, poorly executed.
Their Chai Lattes and breakfast burritos are delicious! I love coming here in the morning, grabbing a latte with my wife, and walk around the beautiful neighborhood. Friendly staff, delicious food. Highly recommended.
Ok leaving 5 stars because I’ve had MANY pleasant experiences here over the years including friendly conversations with the owner… BUT why did you change the chicken cesar wrap?! Carrots? Tomatoes? Onions?! Yuck! That ain’t no Cesar! Change it back please!!!
This place is amazing! The food is always incredible, the restaurant is always clean and aesthetically pleasing, and the staff are so friendly and quick with the food!! I hope to win the 100$ gift card for writing this but also they genuinely are so awesome I go here to eat lunch every day!!
