One of my favs - Edit
Everything is so good. The potato skins are reminiscent of TGIFridays. The scampi toast is a MUST. Best Cesar salad. Beat burger is a hit. Have been following these lovely chefs since they catered our wedding 5 years ago. Our non-vegan guests still talk about the beat burgers.
Read morePros: Potato skins, Outdoor seating , Follows COVID guidelines

Super friendly restaurant in a super cute neighborhood - Edit
I went here with my whole family and everyone was so satisfied. The food was delicious but I think the bbq cauliflower bites were the star of the show. I would love to go back and try some of their sweets and other dishes!

Holy Vegan Deliciousness! - Edit
I ordered potato skins and the meaty ball sandwich for delivery. Potato skins were 🔥! Best vegan bacon EVER! The meaty ball sandwich was tasty, not at all soggy (great bread!). Would have appreciated some additional sauce.

B A N G I N ! - Edit
So impressed, not only by the food but by the friendly staff!! The greens and Gorgonzola salad was my favorite, but the king trumpet calamari was a close runner up. The cheeze on the salad was slightly bland, but the ample amount of greens, house dressing and pepitas are to die for! I am definitely going to go back when I’m in the area next.

Top Notch Vegan Deli! - Edit
I love the food at DC Vegan! For starters, the king trumpet calamari, scampi toast and potato skins are out of this world. The fried artichoke sandwich is just as yummy as you might imagine. And the desserts are spectacular! Go!!!

Fresh and delicious! - Edit
We got the mushroom calamari (I've been waiting for the day I could taste a vegan calamari imitation!! such a nostalgic meal for me), the meaty bowl, and the root vegetable hoagie. The meatballs were really well done and very flavorful, and the hoagie!! Fresh taste, amazing sauce, such good bread. We also got a piece of carrot cake that they ship from Vegan Treats and it was so delicious. I'm so glad this place exists! Will be coming back to try more.

Finally found vegan cannoli! - Edit
Calamari was super yummy and the vegan cannolis were exactly what I’d been craving. Kinda pricey but pretty much on par with DC prices. Would definitely come back again!

Amazing!! - Edit
Absolutely amazing. Great food, wonderful service, good location, and not bad prices! It’s always great when a vegan restaurant has fun and unique options.
Read moreI am always on the lookout for a good vegan Caesar salad, and this place delivered. I think ill 100% return for the salad alone. The meatball sub is as also excellent. Can’t wait to try more of their menu.

DC Yum! - Edit
Stopped in for a much anticipated lunch and ordered a variety of menu items — all good! Ordered the sausage rapini, cauliflower Buffalo wings, artichoke rapini bowl, potato salad, fries Italiano, chocolate and chocolate chip cannoli, and a cupcake. All delicious! My favorites were the cauliflower wings and chocolate cannoli. Going to try different things on my next visit.

Delicious! - Edit
This restaurant just opened and my boyfriend and I went in to check it out. We got the chickpea cutlet sandwich and crispy artichoke sandwich. Both sandwiches were super flavorful and had great textures.
Read moreWe also got the cardamom tea cake which I can’t say enough about! The texture reminded me of a cannoli cookie and it had a beautiful glaze on top. I would highly recommend it! Staff was super friendly and I can’t wait to return to try more options.
Pros: All vegan!, Delicious food, Great staff
Cons: Sides did not come with the sandwiches
