I’m in DC for my birthday and this was my first official food stop in the city; Hip City Veg did not disappoint.
I started with the Philly cheesesteak; not a traditional Philly, but if you’re open to a plant based twist it delivers that savory, cheesy comfort bite. Definitely worth trying if you love a good cheesesteak.
The Smoky Sweet Snack Wrap surprised me in the best way; crispy, sweet, tangy, and packed with flavor. That little snack attack actually satisfies.
The Wake & Bac’n sandwich was a standout; and they serve breakfast all day which is always a win. The JUST Egg was fluffy, the tempeh bacon had great texture, and the HipCity sauce tied everything together perfectly.
Now let’s talk about the Ziggy Burger; juicy, smoky, layered right. It gave everything it was supposed to give and then some. If you’re searching for a solid vegan burger in DC, this needs to be on your list.
I finished with the protein chocolate milkshake;
It’s also right across the street from Capital One Arena; which makes it an easy pre show spot if you’re in the area.
For my first DC food experience; this was a strong start.

I finished with the protein chocolate milkshake; smooth, rich, and not overly heavy. The perfect landing.

Insane, there is no reason that the Smoky Sweet Crispy Chick’n wrap had to be that good. Great recommendation from the one who took my order, he advised me super well. I’ve been a vegetarian for almost a decade and it was the first time since forever that I felt like I was eating real chicken tenders. The sauce hip city was also super good, combined incredibly with the wrap. The sweet potato fries were pretty good, although I wish they would put more fries with the meal deal. Fake chicken is really insane, I will be back just to try it again!

What an amazing flavor profile these foods have, and at reasonable prices. I really wish we had this chain in Connecticut

This place offers vegan satisfaction bombs. They have burgers, salads, fries, Ice cream. I had a shake, fries, and salad and they were all amazing. They were very busy too, so it's clearly a popular spot with many people.

My favorite place to get vegan snacks and sandwiches. The food is so tasty and each order gives you access to their sample tasty sauce. Their BBQ sauce is the best option

Janaye was very helpful She was very patient because I was indecisive. She got me to try something new which was the smokehouse burger. It was great I told her I will definitely be back tomorrow

My chocolate shake tasted like cough syrup. I'm happy to drink a mediocre chocolate shake, but this was inedible.

The constituents of the burger were very tasty but the assembly was a bit haphazard!
