Hard to find any faults with this place. Service was excellent! They allowed us to sample a few of the west african dishes, everything tasted nice. We ended up ordering the Obe Epa (Peanut Stew) with extra Suya, and it was perfect – full of flavor, a little rich.
All the dishes looked great, we will definitely be back to try more.

Hands down best food I’ve ever eaten in my life. If I lived near by, I’d be eating here every single day. I got the Obe Egusi (Pumpkin Seed Stew) with beyond steak and it was absolutely amazing!!! I wish they had more locations, but for now, I will visit them any time I’m in Santa Cruz. The guy working there was so friendly and kind, all around I will recommend this place to everyone!

I’ve been vegan for about 10 years and this is in my top 5 places easily. The food here is seasoned to perfection and is freaking yummy. Prices are very affordable especially for a vegan restaurant. Will be back!! ❤️❤️❤️

This little restaurant located in the food market downtown had some absolutely amazing vegan food! We tried the peanut soup, plantains, and suya mushroom burger. The staff were very friendly and the vibe was great. We sat near the restaurant, but you could easily sit outside or in any location within the market. The market had live music, which was so fun.
The food was delicious and full of so many different flavors. We loved everything about eating here!

Ordered several food items to kind of keep the family satiated until we could get home for dinner. Ended up getting two burgers some tacos and a pumpkin stew inspired by African cuisine. Everything was pretty good. The burgers were definitely good and the fries were great. The stew was really really delicious the tacos were good but I probably wouldn’t get those again. One thing I didn’t like was the gentleman making the food was not wearing gloves but besides that I would definitely go here again.

We love Veg on the Edge! We live locally so we’ve tried all the local restaurants and Veg on the Edge consistently has the best tasting healthy, filling meals. I found out that they consulted a dietician when they were developing the menu to be sure that every meal was nourishing. So good! Best sweet potato fries in town and the shitake suya bowl is delicious! The owner has brought something very special into the community.

We looked at the menu ahead and thought it would work well for our family. We are two vegan adults and two vegetarian kids. My husband and son were mostly a happy with their burgers, but thought it should have come with fries. Everything on the kids menu was out of stock so we ended up having to order for him at another place. My Beyond Steak bowl came out refrigerator cold. One of the kind staff members was so nice about remaking it. It was fine, but was really something I could make at home. There was rice, beans, beyond steaks, some lettuce, and a nice green sauce.

I found this place on the Happy Cow App. This place is located inside a food court. And nearby is a parking garage with reasonable rates and electric car chargers.
The restaurant has a place for you to place a contactless order through a touchscreen. It was really easy to put comments on it too like “no cilantro”.
I chose to go with the African peanut stew. It came out very quickly and was delicious! The tofu had a perfect texture and flavor on the side. That may be the best tofu I have ever eaten.
The stew is smokey and tastes like a lot of paprika. It is not spicy hot, but it has a very spiced flavor. It’s delicious and I highly recommend it. It came with a side of brown rice and salad as well and that was very good.
When the food is ready they call your name – there is no table service in the food court.
My eyes are always bigger than my stomach. I thought it wasn’t going to be enough food, but halfway through it I was feeling very full.
I highly recommend eating here. The drink selection is small, but it is a food court so you can find something to drink very close by.

Found Obe Egusi- Pumpkin Seed Stew as the best dish I have eaten so far. Tried few others before, nothing was close to this. Avoid Plantain, gotten worst, was served totally burnt.
Update – not sure if chef changed, stew is different it’s more like curry. First time tried taco and it’s simple and nice.

The best vegan food in Santa Cruz and also the most flavorful. Located inside the Abott Square marketplace, its a fairly new vegan place offering wraps, burgers, tacos and stews that are all vegan with tofu, shitake mushrooms and sweet potato as their main ingredients. The Suya which is another term for spiced shitake mushroom is an explosion of spices. The owner was kind to have us taste some of the filling and stews to help decide what to order.
There is limited seating inside, but lots outside on the square for bigger groups. Be sure to try this place when visiting Santa Cruz.
