DC Vegan operates as a restaurant, cheese shop, and catering company out of the same space on P Street NW. It's run by Michael and Leah, and the dining room opens onto a balcony that regulars point to as one of the draws of eating in rather than ordering off the Grab 'N Go case.
The menu leans into vegan versions of comfort food: a meatball sub, fried mushroom "calamari," buffalo cauliflower, and a Chesapeake fritter sandwich have all built followings. The Grab 'N Go case adds pasta salad, quinoa, and mixed olives, and a small bakery section turns out cannoli and Italian cookies. Brunch runs on weekends alongside the regular menu, serving vegans and non-vegans from the same kitchen.
