TL;DR
J. Selby's in Saint Paul is still the vegan comfort food king. The nachos, crunch wrap supreme, buffalo chicken wrap, and Caesar salad were all phenomenal. The cookies and cream shake is a must. Staff is friendly, thoughtful, and great with recommendations. 10/10 — will be back to eat through the rest of the menu.
It had been years since I last ate at J. Selby's — we moved out of state and life just got in the way. But when my husband and I finally made it back, it was like no time had passed at all. Just as good as the first time.
We went a little overboard with the order (no regrets): nachos with pico de gallo, the crunch wrap supreme, the buffalo chicken wrap, and a Caesar side salad. Every single thing was phenomenal. If you're someone who thinks vegan food can't hit like that, J. Selby's will change your mind real quick.
The crunch wrap was crispy, loaded, and honestly better than the fast food version it's inspired by. The buffalo chicken wrap had the perfect amount of heat, and the Caesar salad was fresh with a creamy dressing and big crunchy croutons.
The staff was friendly, helpful, and genuinely great at giving recommendations — which matters when the menu has this many solid options.
The little moment that stuck with me? We ordered a cookies and cream shake to share, and they asked if we'd like it split into two separate cups. It's a tiny thing, but those small touches go a long way in my book.
10 out of 10 experience. I loved the food here and I will absolutely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.
