The Top Vegan Eats In Washington DC USA

Washington DC boasts almost every cuisine from every corner of the globe. The District’s downtown is lined with enticing signs for Ethiopian, Vietnamese, Lebanese and more. For the foodie looking for vegan fare, restaurants usually have options available or can modify a dish upon request. However, for the foodie looking solely for a vegan menu, there are some DC haunts cooking up 100 percent plant-based eats.

Sticky Fingers Bakery

With cupcakes and cookies, pastries and shakes, Sticky Fingers Bakery is a dream come true for the sweet-toothed vegan. The treats offer unique flavors, such as the current special, root beer float-flavored cupcakes, but also include classics like whoopie pies and little devils (vanilla cream-filled chocolate sandwiches). But it does not stop there as Sticky Fingers can satisfy cravings for the savory as well. Make it there for brunch and enjoy fluffy biscuits with gravy or grab a vegan burger with all the fixings and your choice of a side for a healthy plant-based lunch.
