This place is amazing.I am not vegetarian or vegan, I own my own restaurant, I live with a vegan, and I have very high standards for vegan food. In my mind it should be approachable for anyone and have the same focus on flavor, quality, texture, and balance than any other restaurant does.Everyone should try their sandwiches, even for a causal lunch on the fly, trust the process and check out some brilliant craftsmanship.Keep up the good work!
I visited the Herbivorous Butcher today with high expectations. I had never been there before, though I am a long-time fan of their sister shop, Herbie Butcher’s Fried Chicken. The Herbivorous Butcher has an excellent reputation, but I didn't know if their sandwiches could compete with other local well-regarded sandwich shops. This was before I tried the Italian sandwich! It was recommended to me by the friendly person working the counter, and I’m so glad I tried it. It was crunchy, chewy, savory, and a little sweet. I loved the garlic mayo and cherry pepper relish. The bread was soft and easy to eat. Sometimes sandwich shops have crispy bread that’s difficult to bite through, but this hoagie roll gave me no such trouble. The plant-based meats on the sandwich were so flavorful and chewy. I devoured my sandwich, and I can’t wait to bring my boyfriend here to try it. I want to try all the sandwiches on their menu now! The sandwich came with chips too, which is always nice. The shop is cute and fun. The food is amazing. Highly recommend a visit!
Amazing! If you are looking for vegan options, this is a destination. The meats and cheeses are delicious. I also picked up some snacks and a shirt. The ranch is especially good.
I would suggest you skip eating here. The food is alright, it’s overpriced, and there’s nowhere to sit to eat.
Amazing place as a general vegan store. Specializes in a variety of flavored vegan meats and deli meats. Very good in taste. Also has its own special vegan deli sandwiches. One of the most delicious vegan takeout places in the Minneapolis- Saint Paul area. Sandwiches are huge proportions and a little pricey, although worth the money according to me. Deli meats are affordable.Features: Mask is required
I’ve gotten a couple things from here before. I’ve been vegetarian for 5ish years and have tried lots of fake meats. They have a wide selection of things but the taste and texture isn’t good. I prefer gardein brand meat or other frozen grocery plant based meats to some of the meat they have here. I also think they’re quite overpriced for the product quality/quantity. I’ve made better fake meat dishes myself, and bought grocery store “meats” with way better flavor/versatility. The employees were also short and cold with me, not the usual friendly service you get at places.
I'm neither vegan nor vegetarian but, today, I decided to give the Herbivorous Butcher a try. They were excellent!I'm all for shifting my eating habits to a more plant-based, sustainable diet and if all meat-substitutes tasted this good with such an excellent texture, I'd be doing this for all my meals!The cold-cuts on their sandwich were phenomenal! Yes, I can tell that it's not fully meat but, honestly, its a very close thing. Better than that: the flavor is actually as good as any I get from my local Jewish deli!Great food! Go and order from here!
So grateful that this exists in Minneapolis. Thank you Aubry and Kale for bringing this to our community (awhile ago) and the vegan community at large. What a sweet relationship you both seem to have. I remember when your campaign was up on Kickstarter back in 2015 and SO glad you’re thriving. I first ate there maybe just 18 months ago. The Italian Cold Cut is SO good I can’t bring myself to try any other sandwich yet. They all seem so great. I’ve especially been eyeing the rotating paninis on these cold winter days. Lots of love ??. Hope people that live in the rest of The States take advantage of their nation wide shipping option. 10 out of 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Edit: Thank you to everyone that works here! You’re all so friendly and helpful every time I call.
My absolute favorite place to eat in the Twin Cities!Absolutely cannot go wrong with the Italian Cold Cut Sandwich. I can’t get enough of those pickled cherry peppers!
I am in AZ and have ordered several times and each time the products received have been phenominal! We need a shop here in AZ! Just amazing tasty vegan food!
