Visiting to help clear a friends apartment- was recommended here and happy I came! Deyci was sweet helping me figure out my order with my indecisive nature. I loved the sandwich! Hannah checked me out- also is very kind with great customer service, (also I swear she was floating) anyways highly recommend the food here. The sandwich I got was a cool combo with very flavorful jam and yummy vegan deli seitan meat! 😋 I came back a few days later for my too good too go orders, it came in clutch especially since I was traveling. It contained breakfast sandwich’s- I highly recommend them Thank you again everyone, it helped me get thru a really rough chapter. Sending love 💕

My wife and I will literally drive out an hour and a half from central Jersey just to come here. I cannot begin to express just how much we love this place, and we solely discovered Yough through random chance after going to a show nearby. The sandwiches are the best vegan sandwiches we've ever had, in fact they generally vanish by the time we even think to take a photo. Now that I've finally remembered to leave a review, I strongly suggest coming here and trying everything on the menu; my personal favorite is the Saturday bagel on cracked pepper and salt. Make sure to get some of the snacks and a drink as well, they always have such a fun and eclectic selection. The service is always so nice, too! Parking isn't too bad on the side streets if you're driving here like we do.

Response from the owner

Thank you for your kindness and dedication to animals and small businesses that support compassion as a central tenet. We appreciate that you TRAVEL to us even on a gloomy, rainy day, for some vegan food. But the cracked pepper and salt bagel, we can agree, is worth the miles. 💚💛

Non-vegan here who accompanied my vegan friend to this bodega and picked up a sandwich (Drex 2) along the journey.<br><br>The sandwich was full of flavor and oh so crispy! I was impressed by the variety of curated items in the small store and enjoyed the vibe of the friendly person running the store.<br><br>Definitely would come back when I’m in the area!

Response from the owner

🙌🙌🙌 Thank you for helping get the word out. We hope you come back soon. 💚💛

Yough has ruined all other bodegas for me. I used to be a “grab some chips and go” person. Now I’m standing at the deli counter saying things like, “Yes, add the garlic spread this time. I’m not kissing anyone tonight. I deserve this.”<br>The sandwiches are packed with flavor and the bread is perfect. They have a daily sandwich special which is always adventurous or you go with a solid BEC. The snack selection feels curated by someone who’s deeply invested in my happiness. Even the drinks section has main-character energy. I mean who else could be so daring to sell a Butter Pecan soda.<br><br>The staff? Friendly with just the right amount of flirt. The vibe? Charming without even trying, like it’s fully aware of its own magic<br><br>5 stars. No notes. Actually, one suggestion, open one on my block.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Shane! You nailed it as far a we're concerned 😏 Keep coming back!! You haven't tried everything yet. 💚💛

This place deserves every 5-star review. I grab a sandwich to take to the park, whether it's to hang or sober up after going to the bar. I enjoy looking through beverage and snack options while I wait for my order. It's exciting, albeit a little overwhelming—but it's nice to be spoiled as a vegan! Also, the service is lovely. I also grab Too Good To Go bags from here once in a while.

Response from the owner

Thank you for sobering up at ours. 🫶Thank you for the love and thank you for participating in Too Good to Go. 💚💛

Yough vegan deli HAS FREE COFFEE this month from 8-10!!! And is so cozy and delightful- it has lots of ephemera you can’t find anywhere else, they make the BEST vegan food- have deserts that are gooey and bread that is crunchy and they have lots of gifts and prezzies for yourself or your friends. Lancaster farm tea!? Also very good gummy candy💗

Response from the owner

Julie, thank you so much for this glowing review! Thanks for noticing the "little things." ☕ 💚💛

Next level vegan sandwiches!! Jaime, the owner, curates the best bread, vegan meat, vegan cheese, and spreads for her sandwiches, and each one is handcrafted with love. I was looking for a lighter/healthier option and LOVES the Patrick with tofu scramble, hummus, spring mix, and seitan turkey. The kombucha selection is eclectic and super cool, featuring brands from around the country and even abroad! When we visited, she had Hip Pop (UK), Kombucha Town (WA), Fermensch (CA), Marin (CA), and Baba’s Bucha (PA). Every product in the store was chosen with love. What a cool store. I wish there was one of these in Manhattan!

Response from the owner

Thank you for this glowing review, Lauren! I had a great time nerding out with you and Doug and look forward to your next visit. 💚💛<br>-Jaime

I thought this place was great! The flavors were great. I personally enjoyed the Marc Maron. I will note, it felt like the bread was perhaps extra toasty- which I know some people like, but it was a little abrasive for my mouth. I definitely would go again though! Great sandwich stop for vegetarian options!!

Response from the owner

Hey Stephanie, thank you! And yes, please always feel free to ask for your food and bev the way you want it. We'll toast it less for ya next time. Thank you!<br>💚💛

Amazing vegan convenience store and sandwich shop! I cannot wait to go back thinking of all those vegan snacks! 🥹<br>Soooo many options and a huge sandwich menu and all vegan. Service was great too! The person working was so friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested in us, which is a breath of fresh air. They offered suggestions and told us their favorites and it was so wonderful. We will be back! We loved our sammiches too! 😋

Response from the owner

Simple adorable all vegan bodega! They have a huge range of snacks, *some I had not heard of!*, desserts and drinks. In the back you can order a sandwich and please do. It was delicious and mine came on a pretzel bagel. Wowie. Will be back. I love it here.

Response from the owner

This is fantastic news, thank you! See you soon we hope. <br>💚💛

Tiny but mighty vegan bodega! Imagine everything at a regular bodega but vegan. Candy bars, gummy candies, drinks, snacks to go, frozen appetizers & treats, including bagel sandwiches made on the spot. The space is laid out well, with lots of options to select from no matter what your budget is. There seems to be only one table, outside for seating, however this location is near by a park so a picnic is def an option. There is such variety in the snack offerings it's better than most grocery store vegan options! I'm going to consider this my on stop shop from now on. I'm lucky to be so close!

Response from the owner

This review is so delightful and on point of our mission of providing everything you would want but conveniently in a tiny space. And the hope is to make it all accessible and useful to anyone. And all vegan. Thank you! 💚💛<br>-Jaime

Wow, not surprised that Yough has a review of 5 stars across the board! This is a phenomenal bodega deli in Bushwick, Brooklyn.<br>I’m not kidding when I say - the BEST vegan deli EVER. Jamie does not play. Great deli selections as well in terms of product.<br>I love how you can customize your sandwiches and I also love the ones that are on the menu because the flavor combos are on point. I love the Mela drinks that they carry. Blessed to experience this gem :’) I can’t believe they perfected those deli meats and don’t even get me started on that pretzel challah roll. I dream about when I’m returning to this place.<br>The Drex is my absolute favorite and the Hannah is pretty good too. Also - great prices!!!!!

Response from the owner

This is so great, thank you for this thorough, thoughtful review. Keep coming back, your patronage means a lot. 💚💛<br>-Jaime
