HipCityVeg brings a fast food-inspired format to plant-based eating: burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads, and shakes built from organic, often locally sourced ingredients. The Smokehouse Burger, Philly Steak, Curry Tofu Wrap, and Crispy HipCity Ranch sandwich anchor a menu designed to feel familiar rather than austere, including a vegan take on the Philly cheesesteak that has become a signature draw for the chain.
Founder Nicole Marquis, who also opened Bar Bombón and charlie was a sinner, started HipCityVeg in 2012 with the goal of making vegan food approachable through comfort-food formats rather than restriction. The Center City location sits among several Philadelphia-area spots that share the same menu and sourcing approach, with all packaging compostable and kitchen scraps composted daily.
