The V-Spot: Welcome New Addition to Fifth Avenue Slope Dining
Gowanus Lounge checked out the V-Spot, a five-week old vegan dining spot on Fifth Avenue between Douglass and Degraw, for brunch on Sunday. We are happy to report that our limited food sampling yielded good results and that we were content at V-Spot. Best of all, it's a welcome addition for the vegetarian- and vegan-minded. GL had the Breakfast Wrap--which is tofu scramble, cheese and sausage--with a side of tostones. GL's sidekick had the tofu scramble. We both liked the tofu scramble, although I found the tostones too dry. The deserts are superb. (In fact, we took a slice of Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shortcake and one of Chocolate Chocolate Cake to go. Now, we don't have to go all the way to Food Swings on Grand Street in Williamsburg for cake anymore.) Best of all, at least until blazing summer sun renders it hot at midday, the restaurant has a great patio in the back.
Service is friendly and is mostly provided by the owner, who is also a school teacher.
While it needs to iron out some kinks, it's nice to have a laid back veg place in the hood. We wish the V-Spot well.

i think the v spot is a bit of a ripoff in the dinner department; a veggieburger and fries is $9 and it's the most meager patty i've ever seen, and the fries are hard as rocks. i'll check it out for brunch, though. i didn't know about that back garden!
brunch at the v-spot is awesome, and so is dinner; we loved the pancakes, sausages, chicken cutlets, and nachos. the tax is added into the proces, so consider that $9 veg-burger more like $8 at another restaurant.
...still not worth $8.
I have breakfasted at V-Spot twice so far. Food is delicious, but the service was so slow I thought I'd never get out of there.
The nachos are awesome. I also like photos on the walls. sexy, sexy v-spot.
Go! I had the awesome BLT- tons of delicious tempeh bacon, lots of Veganaise and l and t on toasted whole wheat(i asked for it toasted-not sure if it comes toated naturally). It was a large delicious sandwich for only $6 incl tax. The owner is cool- is experimenting, will be adding more dishes etc. Nice place - I always support vegan especially ethically vegan- places- (sign in window says "Animal Approved" :) Didnt know about the garden.
Yeah i guess 9 dollars is to much should make it $7.95+Tax LOL like other places .The nachos w/guacamole are some of the best.the chicken sandwich is also very good but the empanadas look and taste great
