HIBISCUS

I would certainly come here everyday if I could afford to. EVERYTHING I’ve eaten from this beautiful place has been delicious. I’ve had the (veg) Chicken Wrap — it made me want to cry real tears. Curry Chick Peas & Kale — super delicious. I’m writing this review because I am craving some right now lol. The Spinach & Veggie Patties are so good, I am almost certain that this restaurant gets everything right. The vegan Blueberry Cake was delish too. Love is sprinkled right on into everything & always beautifully presented. Eating healthy never felt so right!
Earl is usually chatting around with customers & at the register. Such a sweet soul. The energy here is great, the people are always beautiful. I can’t wait to eat here again.

Fresh food, great ingredients. The staff are friendly & helpful with suggestions. Baked plantains are just the right amount of sweet! Seitan cheesesteaks indulgent! And the kale salad is OUT OF THIS WORLD. These guys are experts at crafting juices and smoothies. This food isn’t just for health nuts or vegans but delicious for any palette. (P.s. Hibiscus crew please put a large kale salad on the menu) I really love it.

The vegan cheesesteak is wonderful. I’m here craving for one since 12pm. I’m on my way now. Nothing is going to stop me. It’s so yummy!!!

The people are super nice & the veggie patties are delicious!

This place is a god sent for vegan like me. Near my home an easy bike ride to super flavorful vegan food. Vegan paddy delicious. Philly jawn amazing. Strawberry gluten free vegan short cake incredible. Do not get me started on their vegan chicken nuggets with vegan honey mustard sauce. I love them. I wish they would buffalo them… OMG. !!!FAT VEGAN MOMENT… LOL!!! They also have smoothies and more. If your vegan or not if your in west philly and your hungry get at dem… you’ll be irie

Delicious smoothies, tofu curry, seaweed avocado wrap! Exceptional service — warm, friendly and informative staff. I wish I lived closer so I could be a regular!

Delicious! From the smoothies to the spinach patties and curry chickpea salad. Oh and the cheesesteak. SOOOOOOO freaking good. It’s an out of this world experience.
Just try it. You won’t regret it.

The guys were real nice and the service was great. I’m giving ⁴⁄₅ because there is no AC over the summer and that took away from the environment. I went on a really hot day (partially my fault) and I was sweating like crazy. They have two fans in there, but for the most part it just blows the warm air around. That’s my only complaint.
The Pro was the Veggie cheesesteak! So good!!! I chose the spicer between the two and it was spicy indeed. Not for those who are sensitive to spice, but I loved it! The melted cheese was unreal! Sometimes veggie cheese isn’t that great, but this one here was a real winner! It’s a little place that is tricky to find, but well worth a trip or two (just pick a cool day) :)

The seitan cheesesteak was better than an actual, «with meat» cheesesteak. I’m still not 100% sure how it was possible. Also great healthy smoothies. A little short on seating inside, but there is a parklet right outside for when the weather is nice!

This place melted my heart and taste buds! So good and healthy that I could feel the good energy revitalizing my body, mind and spirit. I had the curry chickpeas and kale, a kale salad and a vegetable cocktail of beets, carrots, cucumber and kale. This meal was my favorite in Philly and I wish I could take it back to Los Angeles with me.

I usually stop by Hibiscus for a fresh juice. I love the atmosphere and was looking forward to tasting the food. I’m so glad I did today. The coconut curry fish wrap is excellent. Everything from the kale to the rice is delicious and I’d love to learn how to make that sauce. I’ll definitely be exploring the menu this summer. I wish Hibiscus ongoing success.

I had the «philly jawn» cheesesteak spicy, I did the vegan cheese and not the mozzarella option, super tasty!!! I can’t wait to try all of their foods, Also had a yummy spicy ginger lemonade doesn’t sound great but it taste really refreshing, also the place was clean with a nice vibe

The Vegan Cheesesteak is incredibly good! And the people working there are really nice. Slightly expensive but you are paying for top notch quality food

I’ve started frequenting this place and I think everyone should! They use great ingredients and offer a menu that truly nourishes your body. They seem to really understand the foods their working with, and have a nice staff. I usually get a wrap and I ALWAYS get a joint juice.

Hibiscus is awesome!
For those that are really into vegan treats this place is your spot. There is a very rasta feel about the place which is painted beautifully. Sway back and forth to the reggae music as you sip down a roots and culture smoothie. Outstanding and beet based, the smoothie is so unique and must be tried.
Hibiscus has a great neighborhood feel and one of the gems in west philly. Their smoothies are to die for and will leave you energized for the rest of the day.
Ya mon!

Love this place! Great, delicious food and nice friendly vibe. Recommend the spirulina and hemp protein bars, the goji drink and raspberry chocolate smoothies! Will definitely be coming back here. Next time I’ll get some of the boxes appetizers. They looked amazing!

i love this place!!!
i stopped in here on a whim to get a freshly squeezed juice after chasing my son at Cedar Park in the hot sun. i should have never given him a taste because he drank almost the whole thing :)
the food here is so good! and not just for veg folks either– my husband eats meat and he loves it! my favorites are the kale and chickpea curry and the jamaican jerk tofu. they also have a lot of prepared foods which are the perfect size to feed my little guy. just FYI other parents, they don’t have a high chair, so BYO. they also take cards.
if you check on Unilocal you can get a free patty!

Delicious! I had a vegan cheesesteak on Saturday night. Great texture to the seitan and it was very flavorful. Hibiscus has definitely earned that spot for their vegan cheesesteak to be considered one of the top three in Philadelphia. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. I definitely recommend trying this place.

My hankering for a smoothie has come to an end. What a refreshing treat; the natural flavors of the fruit danced on my tongue. I even did my usual hum of joy as I walked to the trolley. I will suggest that they not only greet the regulars with excitement but also a newbie like myself.

Kristin H & I decided to check this place out because 1, it’s around the corner from her apartment (she’d been here before), & 2, it was in the top 3 of the vegan cheesesteak contest. (Naturally, I have to taste ALL the vegan cheesesteaks!)
Really friendly service – I think this woman Sara is the owner, and she’s amazing. We ordered vegan cheesesteaks, the new guy said they were out of vegan cheese, and Sara was like, «Oh no we are not!» and sent someone across the street to the co-​op to stock up! Now THAT is customer service! The cheesesteak was fantastic, so was the smoothie… and the spirulina popcorn… and the hot pocket freebie with first Unilocal checkin!
I highly recommend & I expect Hibiscus will be my go-​to every time I’m in West Philly.
