very, very ‘snice
6February 1st, 2010more restaurants (not LA), NYC‘snice is like the nyc equivalent of cafe muse…but even better. the small and comfy coffee shop in the west village boasts an impressive and entirely vegetarian menu, with plenty of vegan options to choose from. breakfast dishes, sandwiches, salads, wraps, and specials—‘snice has it all.
vegan reuben: kraut, vegan thousand island dressing and daiya cheese. $8.75
we tried ‘snice on our recent trip to new york, and after all the talk of vegan reubens in LA, of course i had to their take on the classic sandwich. unfortunately we arrived at ‘snice at around 10:45am, and although they open everyday early in the morning, they don’t serve lunch until 11. the breakfast options are kind of limited and full of bell peppers, so we decided to wait it out until the full menu was available. when my sandwich finally did arrive, it was well worth the wait! while i wouldn’t call it “the best reuben ever,” it was hearty and delicious….with a huge helping of soft tempeh and melty daiya cheese. i’d recommend it.
vegan panini: smoked tofu, pesto and sun-dried tomatoes. $8.75
on top of the reuben, we also split a vegan panini…which was un-fuckin-believable! soft grilled bread, creamy dairy-free pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and huge slabs of firm tofu; could anything be more perfect. while i was a fan of the reuben, this thing was definitely more memorable. if you go to ‘snice, you GOTTA TRY the vegan panini.
so visit ‘snice when in manhattan for cheapish, satisfying, casual vegan food. it really hits the spot. just be sure to show up AFTER 11am…when all the good stuff on the menu is available.

They seriously made you wait it out for 15 minutes like some fast food Clock Nazi?

Oooh yum, I had that vegan panini at ‘snice when I was in NYC, it was indeed awesome I need to get back there to have another one.

yay, i’m glad you liked this place! the buffalo chicken wrap is also pretty awesome, but cafe muse wins that round. one thing you may want to note is that it’s cash only… at least it was when i was there 2 years ago, i don’t know if that’s changed.

[…] filled with young people reading and older people enjoying the calm of the restaurant. I read Quarry Girls Post about ‘SNice and I knew I had to try it out. She ordered the Tempeh Reuben ( $8.75) and […]
