HipCityVeg is exactly what
the name says – hip to the trends of vegetarians and vegans with locations in
the heart of Philadelphia. If you’ve been skeptical of vegetarian/vegan food, give
their Buffalo Bella Sandwich a try and you will see what you’ve been missing! HipCityVeg
is a must try!
Creativity is bursting in every dish but without
the un-healthy ingredients we’ve all become accustom to. All food is vegan, organic, and
locally sourced when possible. They even have dessert!
The Philly Steak is one of my
favorites. Wait – a cheesesteak that’s vegan and meatless? Yes, I agree there
is something about it that goes against my Philly heritage but try it anyway! Many
of the items on the menu are spin offs of American favorites, like a chicken
sandwich, burger, nuggets, fries and milkshakes.
The Buffalo Bella is also at
the top of my list! I’m craving one as I write. I love mushrooms so I was excited
to try this sandwich - one big portabella mushroom topped with slaw, tomato and
a mildly spicy sauce. It met my expectations and then some. Give this flavorful
sandwich a try!

The Vibe: Modern and
un-assuming. Décor is colorful, fun and the space is welcoming. Staff is
friendly and service is quick. If you go at dinner time expect a line (sign of
something good if you ask me!)

Here is an excerpt from their
website that gives a great view from the owner’s eyes...
When Nicole Marquis created
HipCityVeg® she worked to come up with a novel, yet obvious design: fast-food
inspired fresh vegan food: Burgers, Fries, Salads, Wraps, healthy drinks and
desserts. There’s nothing elitist about it, no pretense. Yes, HipCityVeg® is
about health and compassion for living things and the earth, but the food is
about tasting good.
