This was my first visit here and I had a tough time finding the place. Suggestion: Please update Google with a visual storefront image not to be confused with an image someone posted of the prior location. From my understanding now, previously they offered carry-out at 2915 Greenmount Ave., but are now located inside Urban Reads Bookstore and are branding as a deli/bistro. Suggestion: Please update your Google address with "Address: 3008 Greenmount Ave (Inside Urban Reads Bookstore), Baltimore, MD 21218 I think it's great this black owned business has provided a different food solution contrasting the Asian carryout and fried chicken box circuits in the area. I don't know the specifics on what happened or why they relocated to a bookstore and obviously down-sized, but they are still hanging in there, so that's a plus. The most frustrating part for me during my visit was many menu items were not available that were listed on their website or their online ordering menu link. Their website says 'Breakfast is served all day except for French Toast and Pancake Platters' as well as Sides available. I was told they had neither. I soon determined the chalkboard menu food stand items were the only things offered. I would have liked to purchase more items like desserts or sides etc. and willingly dropped $100+ as I've done in other BOB vegan spots. Suggestion: Please remove the ordering online menu links to Toast Local, DoorDash, UberEats, etc. if none of those menu items are current. It's confusing. I've never had food there before so I needed input. I had to pull teeth to get some recommendations from at least one of the 2 cooks on what was popular or what they personally liked. Neither of them were friendly and looked uncomfortable responding to my questions. It was extremely awkward. Suggestion: Provide a physical menu with photos of some of the food. Post signs and advertise about popular items. There is no kitchen, and the two same male employees were taking turns cooking the food on a medium sized griddle. That visual presentation in itself was unsettling to me. It visually looked low budget. No hood and no ventilation needed for the smoke from the greasy buttery foods they fry either? There was also a commercial refrigerator but hardly anything in it for me to be greedy and buy. Why? In the food industry, food presentation is important. All of my sandwiches were gooey and soggy. I could not eat the sub or the burger due to this. However, the Triple BLT was tasteful and I managed to eat that. Suggestion: The cooks need to wrap the burgers and other fried foods loosely so they have room to "breathe". You may think that a tight wrap will keep the food fresh, but all it does is seal in moisture and ensure that it will be soggy if it isn’t eaten fast. Also, placing them in plastic bags just keeps all the moisture inside and compounds the problem of a soggy mess and unappetizing food. Overall, this experience wasn't what I expected and I was disappointed 😕. This final statement is for the owner Ms. Wyatt: I've read many of your reviews and your responses particularly to the negative ones. I understand your heart is in this and you love your people and your community. Yet, some people are observing how you respond to bad feedback. Becoming brashly defensive and even rude when responding to customers is the symptom, not the problem. The customers are presenting you with the problem or "their problem". What will your solution continue to be? There's an expression: "Never assume that every critic is a hater. Not everyone is hating on you. Some people are telling you the truth." We can love our business and our community all day long. But, the end goal is to make money and feed our families. Each customer you lose is a revenue loss and can cause you to lose another customer (more revenue) due to bad reviews and/or how you respond to those reviews. It's really something to think about and adjust (if you choose). Overall, I wish you nothing but the best. Read less

This is probably the best vegan soul food restaurant in all of Baltimore and we have several. Not to knock the other restaurants, but My Mama’s Vegan brings a more flavorful and unique flair to their food compared to other places that have general vegan equivalents of commonly eaten soul food. I enjoy having their various sandwiches including the jerk chicken sandwich which is very filling as well as their mango habanero chicken box, both of which are in the attached photos. Based on my experiences, although this is vegan soul food, they seem to want to have a healthier touch to it by not putting too much salt or sugar in their sauces and seasonings. Overall, I enjoy this restaurant a lot. Read less

I ordered a burger and fries. The food and service were great. The fries were delicious!! My one and only complaint: I ordered and paid online, which is a service they are not utilizing. When I got there of course they didn't have my order because they don't do online orders. They took my order and made it even though it was close to closing time by the time I arrived. They just need to fix that glitch or discontinue the service since I was able to pay and even received a confirmation email for my order. Other than that, great service and great food. Read less
