Vegan Planet Cafe — Restaurant in Norfolk

The shmack burger was flavorful the rasta shmack was spicy no flavor curry cabbage was bland and the chikn sandwich was ok. The place is filthy and needs a complete over haul... talk about a hole in the wall joint... the roach on the counter was more welcoming then the lady who took my order as she quickly frowned and acted as if she didnt want to interact with me. They didnt have all the ingredients for my tropical smoothie... I heard the gentle that greeted me kindly tell the lady they didnt have moringa... another guy says hold on went outside I guess to a nearby shop returned with avocados then my smoothie was given to me but it wasnt green which I believe it should've been green because it included kale and moringa. Moringa does effect color atleast when I use it at home.it does🤷🏻‍♀️. None said anything to me about the missing ingredients or anything. Everything but the sandwiches went in the trash. I will NEVER return thats how unwelcomed and disgusted I was with my visit and yes I initially over looked the run down-ness but quickly regretted...

First off I’m a botanist walking into a place with plants that have fungal and bacterial infections should’ve been my first clue. The second the fridges for kitchen food are at the feet of guests (no idea how that is legal or food safe). The vibe was unwelcoming and odd. My girlfriend had an issue ordering as they were out of most of their menu items. Our food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great the sauces really carried every individual item. The fries were the only exception of being good. We also didn’t realize every menu item was going to be fried? Kind of defeats the purpose of holistic eating if you just drench it in canola oil. Couple bites in and we called it a day. Hey at least we gave it a shot! There was also an employee? Or friend? Walking uncomfortably close to patrons and making gagging throw up sounds outside the door which was disgusting. Maybe if they go to fruitive, JMT, Desmond’s, my vegan sweet tooth, or shadowlawn they could compare to clean establishments with welcoming...

first time I was able to go in while they were open and I was awake!

first off, wonderful atmosphere. good music, vibes were on point. I was greeted instantly, and given help after I said I hadn't been there before. I placed an order for the sausage combo, I got the fries and a bottle water for my drink. the whole order was made to order, fries too! fresh fries, a slamming link in a pretzel bun w ketchup mustard and fried onions.

as I was leaving, I was offered a sample of a wrap, didn't get the name of it and I wish I did bc one bite of the sample and I said out loud "oh gods that's good" and then shoved the rest of the sample in my mouth to enjoy as I walked back to my car.

the sign in the chips made me laugh and was a good tip for each day! "May I be as happy as a bird with a fry" and that is a simple joy I do wish to have and others to have. and they sure accomplished it! I was very happy with my order, I ate it so fast! I will absolutely...
