Beatnic Vegan Restaurant - Rock Center

First time trying this plant based restaurant and was very pleased! We ordered the BCBS burger and the Guac burger. They were both made from a black bean base and while the BCBS had vegan cheese on it which was surprisingly delicious I am over the moon about the Guac burger! It had tortilla bits on it that have it a great texture and the guacamole had the slightest kick of spice that didn't overwhelm the flavors but enhanced them. I will definitely visit again if I ever have the chance. Plant based food is usually pricey and Beatnic was no different. The only consolation is that their burgers aren't soy based and as processed as some other plant based restaurants. Final verdict - good food, good customer service, and the atmosphere and decor was satisfactory.

My brother and I both enjoyed Beatnic this weekend. I particularly loved the Chicky Deluxe although it was a HARD decision as almost everything sounded amazing. I also loved how they had air fried french fries. Their ketchup was actually made of beats and it was so good! We had not known what or where we would be eating- but when we were at The Nintendo Store I opened up my google maps and apparently I had saved this place at some point so it showed up as being a 1 minute walk away!! Neither of us are vegan but we do love vegan eats. Oh, and it was early afternoon on a Saturday in the summer and there was plenty of seating/ no line at the counter.

The food was alright. If you're in the area and looking for vegan food, it's a fine place. I wouldn't travel or make plans for the sole purpose of eating here. The salads could be made more substantial because it felt as if the listed salad ingredients (which were quite good) were just for presentation at the top and everything else was dry salad leaves. Wouldn't hurt to add more dressing! The guy working the register was nice, the ambience was cool, the location was convenient.

Great looking place, clean and bright. Customer service is friendly and inviting. Food is amazing, as a vegan hard to find places that are vegan, healthy and taste great, the Beatnic is the place. Whether you are vegan or not you will enjoy this place. I will certainly come again when I’m in NYC!

Decent fast food vegan spot. Prices are reasonable and it’s in the mix of things. Highlights were the truffle melt and tomato soup. We also ordered the crispy chicky salad (which came without dressing), sweet potato fries (which weren’t quite hot still), mac and cheese (decently creamy), and the birthday cookie (which actually was perfectly sweet for what I was expecting). Overall, I say if you’re in the area and you want a quick bite at a reasonable price, this is the vegan spot for you!

August 2022. Great location and the most spacious place to get food in the city. This was ByChloe, but the name has changed since I was last here. The Mac and cheese is still just as delicious, I also ordered the cauliflower Buffalo wings. You can order at the kiosk right at the entrance and just wait for your order. Delicious, I always come back for more.
