The food at Luhv is amazing. Italian grinder and chicken parm are so good. It's so nice they have a kids menu. The pasta salad is light, tasty and includes a bunch of legumes which I love. Because it's in the market, it is quite crazy. Wasn't too hard to find seats though. It is cool to have a 100% vegan deli in such a meat/dairy heavy place.

I had a very delicious BLT with scrumptious seitan. If I had a way to bring it home, I would have bought some seitan from the case!! The raspberry chocolate cake was incredible.

Not a huge fan of the atmosphere. This place is in the heart of reading terminal. I am vegan and to get here you do have to walk past a few carcasses which produced some strong smells, at least for me. Even so, this place was absolutely worth visiting. My girlfriend at the time and I went multiple times to try different things on their menu. I'd love to return some day to try purchasing their ingredients by the pound, they carry their meat and cheese substitutes. Honestly it may be worth visiting just to bring a pound or two back with me to the city, that's how good it is. The food was delicious, we tried their ruben, their chickpea tuna melt, and I forget the other things we tried. A must try for any vegan, and for curious foodies. I will certainly return whenever I'm in the area.

This place was delicious. I got the breakfast sandwich, jalapeno sweet potato soup, and empanadas. Everything was so good. The staff was also very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Next time I definitely want to get some of their take home food out of the deli case!

Super good vegan sandwich shop in the Reading Terminal Market. I had their bacon, egg, and cheese (vegan of course) breakfast sandwich and it was delicious! The staff were friendly and overall it was a great experience. I made another stop here to try the Italian hoagie and a coffee cake! Both were really good. The hoagie felt a bit on the small side, but the flavor was there.

Came for breakfast and LUHV-ed it!! Sausage, egg, and cheese bagel was a perfect, hearty way to start a chilly spring morning. Hope to be able to come back for lunch. The menu blew me away. Lots of options, even grab and go refrigerated foods. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Thanks for thr Luhv!!
