I ate there for free once because I was homeless and they cared.

We loved eating here while on vacation. We had the portobello burger and chips with queso. Both items were delicious, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor! The outdoor seating area is adorable and surprisingly peaceful for being smack dab in downtown Asheville.

Wonderful every time we visit, and finally got to try a dessert, I chose the mint chip cheesecake sandwich. Buddha bowl is a must have and I love their appetizers. Their buchi bar is delicious, they have options for gluten free, nut free and soy free. They even have an option for low income so they don't go hungry either. The staff is nice and it's a chill vibe. You pick inside or outside seating. It's definitely one of our go to places to eat vegan.

Freaking delicious! We came from pigeon forge in our Rv. This was the first delicious meal out we’ve had in weeks! Everything was amazing. Even their vegan cheese which I normally don’t like.

Love that they are fully vegan! Good prices and diverse menu. We really enjoyed the tempeh - it was called Korean bbq but didn’t taste like Korean bbq we’ve had before - it had a nutty flavor, but it definitely wasn’t the pb option. The corn bread and collards was good! The Mac & cheese was not something I would get again. Great kombucha menu!

Rosetta’s has two floors with the bar downstairs for alcohol and the coffee bar upstairs. The cafeteria style meals are all reasonably priced and served by a very welcoming staff. The Mac n’ cheese is made with sunflower which gives it a distinctive nutty taste. This is not a flavor that I enjoy and don’t personally believe it works as a Mac. However, the portion was hearty and hot. The nuggets were basically textured gluten protein that had been fried into a greasy crumble. Don’t recommend. If I had to suggest anything it would be these greens.The greens slapped. Peridot. Some of the best vegan greens I’ve ever had. The cornbread is too sweet for my Midwestern, skillet bread style.In all a nice vegan spot to meet others, chill, enjoy a diverse menu. Try the greens.

I don’t understand all the great review. Maybe the chef was new, idk. The food was incredibly slow to come out and wasn’t that great. My partner had the chili and that was good, great flavor. I had the vegan Mac and cheese, which was terrible. It looked like the sauce broke while cooking but they served it anyway so it was terrible. The Korean tempeh was tasty - mostly because of the sauce really. There’s so many good vegan places in Asheville, I’d skip this one.

They serve free food for anyone and everyone who needs to eat - $2+ tip is a general ask if you're able. Beans and rice plate served to any in need. If you value salt, or mayo, or basic ranch- bring your own. Although their ranch sauce is packed with flavor and uniquely so, to say the least. Tortilla chips are better than most Mexican restaurants, and they always seem to be freshly made. Slaw is unique and surprisingly delicious. Not a vegan, but it serves predominantly vegan food, so if that's your desire, eat your heart out! Outside dining tables by the sidewalk are acquaint. Good customer service. Servers are clearly people who genuinely care about the customer, and the community as a whole, so far as I can tell. My fiance and I have been twice now and we highly recommend giving it a go. Especially if you have no money or nowhere to go to eat hot meal.

This is the 1st all vegan place I've been since becoming vegan. Me, my boyfriend and 1 year old loved it. The chilli cheese fries were on point. The 2 ladies working were great. Will definitely be going back.

Great vegan and gluten free food! We called ahead to ask if the gluten free food shared fryer, and they said they have a dedicated gluten free fryer. Yay! ⭐️ (I have celiac disease so I need to be extra careful and I felt safe ordering and eating from them. And I had no problems afterwards. ?) We got the Super Fry and they were very delicious! The Family Favorite with gluten free gravy was very good also, very good gravy and mashed potatoes. The baked peanut butter tofu that comes with that dish sounded so good so we also got extra as a side. Very yummy! We also had the Buddha Bowl which was nice, but got a little outcompeted by the other fantastic options. I got it with tempeh to make it gluten free, the tofu it normally comes with uses some soy sause. Oh, and then we got a brownie, a chocolate peanut butter cookie (very nice chewy-crispy edges ?) and an another cookie (oat something I think), which we have not tried yet. Everything we ordered was glutenfree, and very delicious!
