Two Tablespoons – Madison Square Eats

You definitely won’t experience a waiting issue at this kiosk as no one appears to be interested in having a healthy lunch in this neighborhood. The lentil summer roll was pretty tasty. I would order this roll again. The beet roll was cool but not as tasty as the lentil. The roll meal comes in pairs so you can pick two different rolls and I found it to be satisfying with the quinoa. I really think this place is a great healthy addition in midtown as many workers in this area tend to flock to fatty foods. I will be back!

This review is for the Two Tablespoons stand that is currently at the Union Square Holiday Market. This seems like a stand vendor so I’m sure their offerings are consistent at Mad Square Eats, Broadway Bites, etc. I’m becoming more and more about vegan food and gf. though I’m not sure if what I had was gf. It was really delicious though. I picked up lunch to go at around 11am on Thursday and was serviced promptly. They had a lunch combo of half lentil ginger chili, and half of the smoked gouda and paprika mac and cheese. The lentil/​ginger chili was good. but definitely didn’t taste fresh, as if it was sitting around for too long. It was also a little too mushed up, I was the lentil had shined through some more. The mac though was amazing. Gouda gave it a cheesy but not overly

I tried all 3 summer rolls, my favorite was quinoa & tofu. That can do it more tasty. Maybe can put roasted corn instead regular corn…

Two tablespoons is just about as dope as food gets for a guy like that just wants some dank organic veggies.

AMAZING!!! =) I lived off of their spring rolls last summer… so happy they are back at Broadway Bites. I wish they could cater my life

I’ve visited Two Tablespoons numerous times and always have a tasty, filling and refreshing lunch for a reasonable price! I have tried all three rolls and my favorite is the beet and goat cheese though all three are delicious. Highly recommend the vendor and don’t be scared off by the line, they make the rolls extremely quickly.

I heard so much about Two Tablespoons and today I finally tasted one of their rolls:
the quinoa smoked tofu. Yummy and delicious!
I was surprised it was fresh, tasteful, light and yet very filling. Perfect on a beautiful Spring day when walking a lot is now again an option in the city.
Looking forward to checking out the rest of their menu as well as their new permanent location to taste their seasonal food all year round.

Service was awesome. You order then immediately pay. Before I was finished getting my change my summer rolls arrived. Awesome. Cashier: «I guess he was listening while you ordered?»
Tofu roll was fantastic great flavor and so light. Quinoa Corn and curry roll was just ok. Just tasted like curry I guess… nothing special was hoping for more.

I tried all three wraps today (3 for $ 10) at the madison square eats location and enjoyed them all. It’s really hard to find food that isn’t deep fried, smothered in cheese or served on a huge bun, which equals lots of calories.
The worker told me each roll was 100 calories but by my estimation — and I do this for a living — they are about 150 — 175 (subtracted one star for inaccuracy), with the goat cheese/​beet option probably clocking in at 200. Still not terrible when the other choices in the madison square eats location are mostly pizza, sweets and burgers/​fries. They do fill you up sufficiently and are tasty.
My favorites were the tofu/​quinoa roll, which had a sauce that gave it a smokey taste — and the beets/​goats cheese roll because I absolutely love goat cheese. To make the rolls they use greenland rice paper wrappers, wet it, place the fresh ingredients in the center, fold the wrapper over and serve it to you cold.
I immediately came home and bought the wrappers, which are 34 calories each, since I work in Brooklyn and would like to try to make my own version at home. Whenever I’m in the area thought I’d be happy to let them do the work for me and they are supposed to be opening a permanent location in the area sometime soon.
I’ve checked out their expanded menu on their website and that stuff looks delicious, so I would definitely go back to sample a wider selection of food.

Obsessed with this place and look forward to madison square eats/​broadway bites solely so I can get my two tablespoons fix. My favorites are the beet/​lentil summer roll, almond and quinoa summer roll and the cabbage apple glass noodle salad.

Soooooo good I had the summer roll with the beets and goat cheese, and the cabbage noodle salad. So healthy and fresh.

Also available at Broadway Bites, if you missed out during Madison Eats. This food cart truly fills the void of a fresh healthy whole food option in the food cart arena; there are many times I’ve bypassed going to Mad Eats even though it’s convenient for me, because it’s all heavy, gourmet junk food. Reminds me of Beyond Sushi on 14^th street. Although I will eat meat all day and night, when I eat raw vegetables in flavorful sauces, it makes me feel like a meatless world would be possible if only this much flavor came with all vegetables.

I’ve been a huge fan of Mad Sq Eats for a long time now. I love the vendors that come, both new and old. And Two Tablespoons is no exception.
I was in the neighborhood for a meeting and decided to check out Mad Sq Eats as today was opening day. As I was perusing the different vendors, I saw the Summer rolls, which appeared healthy and light, and I decided to give them here a try. As everything is prepared to order, you might have to wait a few minutes — but it’s worth it! You know they are working hard because everything is made right in front of you.
I have to say all three options were truly enjoyable (you can get 2 summer rolls for $ 7.50 or 3 for $ 10). One was a Tofu/​Quinoa, another beet/​goat cheese, and the third a curried corn. All three were really tasty — though my favorite was the Tofu Quinoa.
Everything they serve is organic, vegetarian, and gluten-​free. I can’t wait to try the rest of their dishes. Even though Mad Sq Eats is only open thru May 30, Two Tablespoons is opening up a full restaurant on 33^rd and Broadway in June (I believe), so I look forward to checking them out soon.
