NOT worth the hype 🚫 - Edit
I had the chicken sandwich and king trumpet mushroom calamari, just two of these with the tip came to 40$! Not just that the food tasted stale and not fresh, gave me a stomach ache of sorts 😒
Read moreAlthough the mushroom dish wasnt bad, I did not enjoy the chicken sandwich patty..
The same week i went to Planta, had 2 dishes and it cost way less!
Pros: Balcony seating
Cons: Unreasonably expensive, Serve yourself water etc

Reliable - Edit
We ordered tofu BBQ tofu wraps with a Caesar salad for a business group of 11 people. Everyone was thrilled, including the non-vegan. The Caesar salad is the best I've had; I think it may have Nori in it - or some other secret ingredient that gives it an addictive umami flavor reminiscent of anchovies.

I love DC Vegan - Edit
I've been to DC Vegan twice and I loved each visit. I went once in June 2024 and most recent meal was on September 2025. The most recent time I ordered the herb and focaccia bread. The bread is so perfectly toasted and buttery. Then I got the Chicken Piccata which was delicious. The chicken fillet was very tasty and I loved the batter. It came with a potato puree and broccolini which was super flavorful. Lastly, I got the Oreo cheesecake. It's so rich. I couldn't recommend them enough.
Read moreThe space is also very cozy. It's got an intimate bar setting and outdoor seats too.
It's expensive but so is a lot of vegan food and it's located in DC.

Incredibly delicious - Edit
My vegan family ordered the Wild Mushroom Ragout, the Lasagne, and the “Chicken” Caesar Salad this evening, with cheesecake, tiramisu, and cannoli for dessert. Heavenly! Each of us (including the picky middle schooler) loved the food and said it was some of the best ever.

little gem for everyone!!! - Edit
I was surprised by the quality of the food, everything was super fresh, very good presentation on the plates, the portions are quite generous and the service by Kelly was incredible for her attention, quality of service and menu recommendations, knowing and explaining her menu in detail and above all her kindness to us on our first time, now I understand why it is a must-visit place if you are in Washington DC!!!! 🙌🏽

Great cafe, desserts, and ambience - Edit
I went for my bday, and the vegan cheese board was amazing! The calamari was also very good. (May 2025)

Pretty expensive - Edit
We were too late to eat dinner because their kitchen had already closed. So we just had a piece of cake and a cappuccino. For two people we paid over $40. Although I have to say it was a pretty good cake.

Went for the potato skins - Edit
⭐️ On vacation and was excited to check out the vegan scene in DC. This place has great reviews so it was at the top of the list. I would not recommend; there are better options, at a better price point, and with better food.
Read moreWe ordered the potato skins, then were told they didn’t have any. Changed our order to the fries and were not offered a refund on the price difference, then they forgot our order all together…it was almost comical. Nothing we had was ‘good’. We finally did get our fries. At least our waitress was nice.

Average but expensive - Edit
The New York style cheesecake here was really nice, but I found my main, the lasagne, was quite lukewarm and fairly average. We felt that the high prices didn't match the casual vibe of the place. The servers were very nice, but ours disappeared for quite a long time - we were told by another server that she was 'in a meeting' so it would have been nice if cover had been arranged in that case. Overall DC Vegan is a nice stop as a fully vegan restaurant, but the food is expensive for what it is.
Read morePros: Cheesecake was great, Lots of options
Cons: Extremely expensive, Food was not very warm, Service quite slow

Cacio e pepe - Edit
I visited over the summer for an event and I have not been able to forget the cacio e pepe from here!! I also had the fried king trumpet calamari and a cannoli, which were also delicious. The cacio e pepe was the best pasta I have ever had, vegan or not! If I ever get the chance to travel here again, I know what I will be getting!
Read morePros: Cacio e pepe, Fully vegan, Wonderful staff
