Any time I travel, scoping out the best food, particularly vegan, is on the priority list. I was craving vegan brunch and decided to stop in to DC Vegan as it was only about a 15 min. walk from my hotel. Staff - I was greeted immediately and sat promptly. The woman who waited on me throughout my dining experience was very pleasant. I overheard her greet everyone with "hey friend/s" which warmed my heart.Food - Let's start with the king trumpet calamari; it literally blew me away! I enjoyed this more than real calamari, which says a lot considering it's one of my favorite appetizers. The batter, the crunch, the marinara, the parm - 10s across the board. I also had the breakfast wrap which unfortunately, left more to desire. I enjoyed the breakfast potatoes that accompanied the dish but the wrap itself lacked flavor. I also really appreciated the standard offering of bottled sparkling or still water. All in all, I'd certainly return to try more menu items and at the absolute least, order more of that delicious king trumpet calamari!

The inside of this restaurant is okay, it's more casual cafe vibes. The drinks were not good at all and I don't recommend. Tons of weird flavors going on!However I was surprised by the food and enjoyed everything I had. I've had very disappointing vegan food before and that was not the case here.The focaccia and "ricotta" was actually really good! I also tried the Caesar salad with fake chicken which tasted amazingly like real chicken. Everyone in my group tried this chicken and was also surprised. I really liked this dish and thought the salad dressing itself was good as well despite being vegan. I wouldn't seek out this place specifically again but if I had an opportunity to come back, I would.

Had a delicious entree dinner but didn't like the bowl item from the lunch menu. The food was excellent, offers a large variety of vegan and vegan & gluten free options as well. There are desserts too, but they have limited gluten free options. The space was clean and updated, but not wheelchair friendly, from what I could tell. It can also accommodate large parties, there was one there with about 20 people during my visit. There are stairs that take you to the entrance of the building. I would inquire if you need a ramp entrance. I recommend this place if you're looking for a great vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free meal. They also sell gift cards.

My family and I were staying in DC right near DC Vegan. You better believe I made multiple visits there.We first visited during the late afternoon "brunch" menu time of day. My wife ordered a bowl with scrambled tofu, bacon, home fries, sausage and sauteed peppers and onions. The bowl comes with an aioli that my wife asked for without. We both felt this dish was a bit on the salty side. Perhaps the aioli cuts down on that? I ordered essentially the same thing as a burrito (Breakfast Wrap). It did not have bacon or sauteed veggies but everything else was the same. I preferred the bowl as the tortilla was gluten free. Different texture than I'm used to with my regular flour tortillas. I also ordered an appetizer of buffalo cauliflower (really good texture and flavor) and a mocha (excellent flavor).The next day I returned and ordered a pumpkin whoopie pie, latte and French Toast. The highlight of everything I tried, definitely the French toast. It features caramelized baked french toast with powdered sugar, whipped cream, seasonal fruit and maple syrup. The caramelized texture was great! The flavors meshed well and did not feel too terribly sweet. I loved having the freedom at DC Vegan to order anything on the menu without worrying about vegan substitutions. I wish I had more time because there was so much more I wanted to try. Definitely not cheap. Spent well over a hundred dollars during my two visits.

Came here for dessert after a meal - split the vegan raspberry cheesecake and hot chocolate with my friend. It's one of my first time patronizing a vegan place. Not quite sure if I would have the cheesecake again as it seems to be mixture of tofu, soy beans, and sugar? Couldn't quite put a finger to it but the service was good and the staff is really nice. The hot chocolate tastes like almond milk but wondering about what other ingredients were used in it to create the milky texture / taste.

Complete Vegan Place in DC.Ordered the Lasagna which came with side salad.The salad was yummy. Although the lasagna seemed very tangy due to the marinara sauce on top which didn't match my taste. It wasn't worth 32$.They had a small seating and reservation is required.Small restaurant which is pretty packed .

I am on a mission to experience every vegan restaurant in DC, and so far this one is vying for the first spot.When I went in, the owner was being interviewed to be featured on a local news program.I started with dessert lol, because I couldn't wait until my food was prepared to get started. The cheesecake was not that good. The best part was the whipped cream. NY Style Cheesecake: C-I'm glad I started with dessert because the rest of my meal completely turned things around and blew me away.Calamari (minus parmesan): exceptional! Squeezed the lemon and did not even need the sauce. Amazing! A+Fried Artichoke bowl: also exceptional! Nothing needed to be added or taken away. I are every last bit of it. A+Purchased the Cavi-art (which is not made in-house) and have not tried it yet.So far this is my favorite vegan restaurant in DC. Let's see if anyone can top DC Vegan??

The best thing was the marinara sauce that went w the mushroom calamari!!! Not pictured. This is a MUST GO place every time I'm in DC it's SO CUTE in there and the craft cocktails are to die for. I really enjoy the oysters Rockefeller and the plant based Brie cheese and rosemary crackers! The bbq and buffalo cauliflower wings also amazing. Just what a wonderful place! They are opening up a yoga studio upstairs as well!!!! A+++++++

OVERALL: As a non-vegan I was shocked by how delicious the food was. It tasted like the real thing! FOOD: I had the calamari, lemon ricotta pancakes, and bacon. Upstairs I got a cheesecake. The calamari was flavorful and had the right texture. The pancakes were my favorite and filling. The bacon was the only miss for me as they were too salty. And the cheesecake tasted just like regular cheesecake I was shocked. The food was so good! I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. SERVICE: the staff was super friendly and helpful. Always attentive and made the experience great. VENUE: there are two levels. The downstairs is newer and is where you have the main dining room and a bar. The upstairs has some seating and an outdoor dining area as well as the bakery with vegan cheese! The decorations were super cute and festive. Dim lighting created a great atmosphere.

I've been to DC Vegan three times now, and each time I come I really want to like it because I've heard such great things, but always leave feeling disappointed. Unlike some other reviewers, I've never had an issue with the service and even have had the owner come around to tables and ask how things were - which was nice to see. However, the food always tends to be underwhelming.KING TRUMPET CALAMARI: 4/5 This is probably the best thing I've had a DC Vegan and has a nice crunch and is a good flavor / well-seasoned. It's a really fantastic appetizer. CHESAPEAKE FRITTERS: 3/5The fritters were very large and flavorful, but overall too acidic and missing the umami flavor. I was expecting them to have more of a crunch given that they're fritters, but it looks like they were probably baked or pan fried because they lack that texture. FRENCH TOAST: 3/5I'm a big sweet tooth and was really looking forward to this one. It's a solid dish with good flavor, but the texture is really off for these. They're very thick pieces and it has this firm chewy texture to it that really missing the mark for me. BREAKFAST BOWL: 1/5This is the most disappointing dish and why I probably won't return to DC Vegan. It's overall too salty and lacking seasoning otherwise. The tofu eggs are mushy and taste only of turmeric. The vegan bacons flavor is hard to describe, but a big turn off and the aioli on the side is reminiscent of A1 steak sauce in a bad way. It's really quite a shame because their deli bar desserts always look enticing - but I can't help but feel like I'll continue to be disappointed by DC Vegan.
