Meals From the Heart Cafe

In a city without many vegan or vegetarian options, I was excited to try this place. I had a little trouble finding it because it's not really a restaurant, but rather a bar-like counter in an open-air food court. Very limited seating. The place was very busy at lunch and the staff a bit overwhelmed. My dish was a mixed bag. The steamed veggies were clearly frozen veggies simply reheated without any seasoning, but the black bean sandwich was really delicious. The server was the highlight of the experience. Super-friendly and attentive. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a quick and healthy bite, but be aware that it's a tight and busy lunch counter and doesn't have much ambience.

So good! The staff is great! I am not even a vegan the food is so good we went two days in a row. Considering it’s not a restaurant the place is Soo clean they opened the kitchen door and everything was so organized and Soo clean(please look at the other food places in that market) definitely a go to place and a much healthier alternative. Everything I saw come out that kitchen looks great.Because everything is made to order I suggest order your food walk around the market and come back!

I was very happy to find a place in The Crescent City that serves gluten-free crab cakes and gumbo, so I made it a point to visit and try their food. They seem to be concerned about food allergies. All-in-all I can't complain about the taste. It was pretty good. The main reason they did not get 5 stars is the price. One bowl of gumbo (with very yummy gluten-free toast), a single crab cake with a small cup of remoulade, and a kombucha came to a whopping $34! For some that would just be an appetizer and they would still be hungry. While it was good, at that price, I'm not sure how often I'd go back if I were in the area.

Had a hard time finding healthy, vegan options until I found this place! The food was AMAZING, the staff was friendly and the place was clean. I will definitely be eating here again before I leave. You will not be disappointed.
