Jersey City Vegan Cafe Caters Gabrielle Union Movie Wrap

JERSEY CITY, NJ — A Jersey City eatery received high praise from actress Gabrielle Union and was even invited to cater the final day of filming for her new movie.

Vibez Juice Café, a vegan restaurant located in the Heights at 82 Hutton St., was one of two New Jersey restaurants invited to cater the wrap feast for the last day of shooting Gabrielle Union's new movie "The Perfect Find." The other restaurant was Cornbread Newark.

During Union's time filming in New York and New Jersey, she took time to highlight Black-owned businesses and promote them on her social media. In July, Union visited Vibez Juice Café for dinner and named it her favorite vegan restaurant in New Jersey, according to the eatery's Instagram.

This weekend, Union promoted the restaurant on her Instagram as part of a larger post which detailed a surprise her husband, former basketball player Dwayne Wade, set up for her on the last day of shooting.

"Everytime I go away for work and I'm away from my family, it's brutal and I always question if I'm making the best decision but what @dwyanewade surprised me with on my last day of filming reminded me that with the support of my husband and family I can do anything and thrive," Union's post read.

"PSS HUGE thank you to @cornbreadnewarknj & @vibezjuicecafe for providing the food for the DELICIOUS wrap feast!"

Vibez Juice Cafe offers completely vegan soul food and juices as well as veggie patties, pastries baked daily and retail health related products. The cafe's website slogan reads, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." The cafe not only offers food but health seminars, live entertainment, private booking and kids activities.
