About Living On The Veg

Living On The Veg is one of those places I genuinely enjoy introducing to people who think vegan food is limited or boring. Located at 657 E Bay Ave Unit 3, Manahawkin, NJ 08050, Living On The Veg sits comfortably in the local food scene as a welcoming, plant-based restaurant with an easygoing vibe. From the moment you walk in, it feels relaxed and approachable, making it a solid choice whether you are fully vegan, vegetarian, or simply curious about healthier comfort food. The menu leans into familiar flavors while keeping everything fresh and satisfying, which makes it easy to recommend to first-timers. Living On The Veg offers a range of vegan and vegetarian options that work well for a quick bite or a more laid-back dine-in experience, and the small plates make it fun to try a few different items without feeling rushed. I also like that the food manages to feel both comforting and nourishing at the same time, striking a balance that is not always easy to find. It appeals to people who want clean ingredients without giving up flavor, and it works just as well for solo lunches as it does for casual meetups. The space feels friendly and unpretentious, which makes ordering easy even if you are new to plant-based dining. Coffee is available as well, which adds to the casual, hang-out feel and makes it a nice stop during a busy day. Service options are flexible, including outdoor seating for nicer weather, along with takeaway, delivery, and kerbside pickup for those days when convenience matters. Healthy options sit right alongside crave-worthy comfort food, so there is something for every mood and schedule. I find it especially helpful to mention how approachable the menu is when recommending it. When I talk about Living On The Veg, I usually describe it as the kind of vegan restaurant that fits naturally into everyday life rather than feeling like a special occasion spot, which is exactly why it resonates so well with locals and visitors alike.

This is such a pretty Cafe. LBI is a few minutes away. Everything on the menu is absolutely amazing. Their milkshakes are outstanding. My favorites are the sandwiches and there's so many favorites... that I can't even choose a favorite. It has a grab-and-go refrigerated case, with things like mac and cheese, penne vodka, Seitan and mash etc. you can also buy things like chicken with salad and egg salad and potato salad by the pound. It has three seating areas in the front and the back... It also has outdoor seating as well. The people who work there are so sweet and friendly. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything you order here. Also there's a cute little grocery store next door... They have organic produce and a lot of vegetarian and vegan options im their a freezer case. Forgot to add that living on the edge get sourdough bread from a bakery in the same shopping center and you can buy a whole loaf if you want.

I've ordered here quite a few times now and the food is always fresh and absolutely delicious! Everything I've tried has been great, but the chickenless salad sandwich remains my absolute favorite. Good portions and fair prices, plus the counter staff are always friendly and attentive Whether you're vegan or not, you'll love this restaurant!!

My partner and I stopped here for a bite while on a 6 week camper van road trip. We were looking for something tasty, yet clean and fresh to satisfy our vegan cravings. Living On the Veg DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Each bite we took was immediately followed by glances at the menu to strategize the next order. Couldn’t pass up the soft serve ice cream, which was amazing. We came back the next day for breakfast too. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the food was 10 out of 10. We can’t wait to return here next time we are in town. Thank you LOV!
