Vida Verde — Restaurant in Johnstown

Came here for the 1st time on Wednesday 2/12 Ordered: •Buffalo chicken wrap + extra sauce = BOMB 💣 Buffalo sauce is my favorite & theirs didn’t disappoint (it’s homemade)! The wrap tasted fresh, loved the red cabbage in it. The “chicken” was “meaty” lol. The sauce was saucy just how I like it! •Birria bowl = great! The “meat” was so flavorful. Elote was creamy & delicious. The greens had some dressing on it that was so yummy! Even the brown rice (I actually despise brown rice so this is big for me) was good because the flavors of the other foods totally masked it, which is lovely lol so this entire bowl is beyond edible which is HUGE coming from a brown rice hater 😂 I can’t do this at Chipotle haha just saying 🤷‍♀️ •Tuna wrap = good! Made of chickpeas & you can barely tell! I make my own at home with chickpeas but theirs is next level with capers, spices, etc •Sausage & tofu scramble platter = BOMB 💣 I’m not even a gravy or tofu scramble person but this is yum! The gravy is homemade & so yummy. The sausage is homemade & wow, I don’t really like sausage but I’d eat theirs! The potatoes…idk how they got them so perfectly cooked, soft on the inside and crispy crunchy on the outside, it’s like the perfect potato. The toast, why is the toast so good when it’s something so basic & simple…because their homemade “butter”…geesh it’s heavenly. I’ve never enjoyed toast so much in my life lol •Grilled cheese = melted & gooey like it should be lol thick bread (which I love) + divine homemade butter •Butternut squash soup = delicious! Tasted fresh & comforting💜

Came back Thursday 2/13 Ordered: •Buffalo chicken wrap + extra sauce = you already know how I felt about it yesterday 😂 •Birria Bowl = great again! The “meat” was even more flavorful than yesterday, just keeps getting better lol •Incline bowl = elote was yummy, creamy cashew sour cream, chips are perfection (they make their own)! Black beans were yummy, I loved the tomato “pico de gallo”! It was so fresh, added a lovely acidity and flavor! •Chili cheese fries = chili is FLAVOR, creamy cheese, fries are good! •Tuna sandwich = amazing! I really like the texture of this bread with the tuna! Spicy house sauce is like a chipotle mayo & it’s yummy! •Lentil soup = flavorful, herbaceous & “hearty” •Pancake platter = fluffy pancakes! Flavorful without syrup, homemade butter is phenomenal, still the most perfect potatoes, sausage & gravy YUM! •Pickled onions = delicious & spicy. We just got a random side of this lol

Their menu is majority homemade &/or minimally processed and I can taste the quality! 😍 Good size portions too! As a vegan of 13+ years, I really...

A Surprising Vegan Delight at Vida Verde

I’ve always been a bit hesitant about vegan food, but Vida Verde changed my perspective. I stopped by around 9 AM and was pleasantly surprised they were open—perfect for breakfast!

I ordered the “Tuna” Sandwich (made with chickpeas), and it was delicious. It had a great texture and a flavorful spice kick that made it anything but boring. It really hit the spot.

The owner was incredibly welcoming and shared that their birria bowls, sausage, and buffalo wings are customer favorites. They even mentioned that his personal favorite is the breakfast sandwich.

Overall, the food was delicious, the folks were friendly, and I’m definitely coming back to explore the rest of the menu. If you’re vegan, vegan-curious, or just love good food—this place is...

We stopped in today for lunch and placed the order online; it was done not long after we arrived. I got the tuna wrap and my husband got the buffalo wrap and we both got sides of fries. The portions are perfect for the price and we actually only ate half for lunch and saved the other half for dinner. They were both so delicious and I wouldn't make any changes!! We chowed down on a fry in the car on the way home and still had a whole second basket of fries to enjoy with our wraps. We've been vegan for a few years now so it's very exciting to have a vegan restaurant in Johnstown. We'll...
