Good options after a long travel - Edit
A cute little venue just off the main strip. Friendly staff. A few vegan specific soups. The soups I had ("peanut tofu" and "2nd street vegan") were good but could be better. Next time I would try the miso. (Judging from their website, the menu may change regularly, as I ate here two days ago and the "2nd street vegan" is no longer available).

Mostly good but beware of salad - Edit
Usually has a few good vegan options with a little bit of variety and change which is nice to not eat the same thing every time.
Read moreMy only warning is that one of their salads is labeled as vegan but contains Parmesan cheese, it was mentioned to the employee when I went but last I heard that wasn't changed.

Get the Senegalese tofu peanut soup - Edit
If you'd like to get some soup and salad, or a sandwich or wrap, they have options that are vegan in all those categories! I like it that their menu clearly labels the vegan options. I find the Thai tofu wrap to be really boring and not worth getting, but I think the tofu sandwich is quite good. The best thing on the menu for vegans is the Senegalese peanut tofu soup, hands down! They also have a really good miso soup.

Delicious cheap food! - Edit
The restaurant has several vegan and vegetarian items that are clearly marked, so ordering is easy.
Read moreWhen my husband and I ate here, they had 3 vegan soups and 2 additional vegetarian soups. I had the miso soup, which had carrots, tofu and seaweed, The miso soup was nice, but was a little too concentrated. I also had the Spicy peanutofu soup, which was a blended spicy creamy soup with tofu, and was delicious. Both are vegan.
My husband had the potato soup, which he also really liked. Each soup came with corn bread, which was delicious.
The price for all this soup was really cheap, so this is a meal with great value. The place also has wraps, sandwiches and salads, which we didn't try.
Pros: Vegan and vegetarian food clearly marked, Delicious food, Great bang for your buck
Cons: None that I could see.

Just OK - Edit
Tofu sandwich and wrap were disappointingly bland and unimaginative. Maybe the soups are better?

Wonderful! - Edit
We drove up from NC to visit Monticello, and I was delighted to find a vegan-friendly restaurant closeby. The Thai wrap with tofu and spicy peanut sauce was great! I love that they had Zico Coconut Water, too. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Low-key, local noms - Edit
A good casual place to dine. They have a map up that shows where they source some of their ingredients. They usually have pretty good vegan options, though sometimes limited. I've seen vegan baked goods at the counter, too.
Read morePros: Inexpensive, Local, Casual
Cons: Not all vegan, Not always a lot of options, Sometimes a little dirty (eating area)

Awesome lunch spot with many vegan options - Edit
Stopped in for lunch and had a great soup and sandwich. Gourmet, creative food for cheap. Had a spicy peanut tofu soup and a local tofu sandwich with arugula, tomato, and fig-Dijon dressing. Yummy roll came with the soup.
Read moreAll vegan options are clearly labeled, and there are many of them!
The place was cool and hipstery with a great beer and other drink selection. It was busy but we didn't wait in line and the service was quick. They were a little slow to deal with an overflowing trash can, but that's really the only negative!
Great downtown location, too.
Highly recommend!
Pros: awesome value, gourmet food, vegan options labeled
Cons: restaurant was slightly dirty

Best in town - Edit
Favorite vegan stop in Charlottesville. Both in-store and online menus make vegan options very clear. Haven't tried everything yet, but can recommend the spinach bean wrap, spicy Sengalese tofu soup, and the grilled tofu sandwich. Specials are often vegan too.
