Jerrell’s BETR BRGR

Famous in Soho, NYC, Jerrell’s BETR BRGR ​expanded into downtown Hoboken in 2023. ​Their burgers are ridiculously good and ​deceivingly meaty.

Vegan fast food deserves to be at the table. ​Think: “bacon” burgers, waffle fries, loaded ​fries, chili bowls.

Let your toughest decision today be what ​milkshake flavor to order.

Lisa’s Italian Deli

The odds of a vegan ​option in a traditional ​Italian-American ​Hoboken deli are slim but ​not zero!

Lisa’s Italian Deli on Park Ave comes through ​with their Pamela Vegan Sandwich served on a ​hero with arugula, sundried tomato, roasted red ​peppers, artichoke, and balsamic.

We tried it. We like it. But we do think it could ​be elevated with a sharp vegan cheese and/or a ​meat substitute. We’d also love to see a few ​more sandwich options to make the trip ​worthwhile.

Alfalfa

When it’s meeting after ​meeting, the coffee ​shakes are ever-present ​and there’s nothing in ​the fridge, we know that ​Alfalfa has our back.

They have filling salads and wraps and ​plenty of vegan substitutes. AND, ​while most cafes in Hoboken close at ​5pm, Alfalfa is open until 8pm and has ​delicious Intelligentsia coffee! 🙌

They do, however, need to add a vegan ​doughnut option!

Our order: The Beyond Far East Wrap ​with alfalfa mix (kale, romaine, butter ​lettuce), Beyond plant-based "chicken" ​tenders, roasted broccoli, roasted ​beets, carrots, red cabbage, edamame, ​spicy sesame cashew dressing, sesame ​seeds sprinkle.

Bon Banh

Look, we’ve tried to make them at home, but the ​summer rolls from Bon Banh stay on top.

This spot, located on 5th & Washington, has ​quick, Vietnamese style dishes like noodles, ​banh mi, and dumplings.

Our order: Soy Tofu Summer Rolls with ​everything (rice noodles, cucumbers, carrot/ ​daikon slaw, lots of cilantro, jalapeño, sprouts) ​minus the lettuce, paired with soy vinaigrette ​and their passion fruit lemonade.
