Healthful dine-in or take-out vegan food & smoothies served in a small, industrial-looking space.

Great vegan spot. Fast food, vegan style. We got the Real Deal Veggie burger and the crispy Hip city Ranch burger. Both were delicious and would order them again. Would definitely come back here again. Small space with limited seating and no washroom.

I was starving and wanted to try something new, so I went to HipCityVeg. The place is nice and the girl working there was really sweet! She suggested the Crispy HipCity Ranch, so I went for it.
When I got my food, I saw it said “100% plant-based” and that’s when I realized it’s a vegan restaurant Honestly, I laughed because it looked too good to be vegan. The food was delicious though — didn’t even feel like fake chicken!

The food was extremely bland and disappointing. I paid $5 for a very small snack wrap, and the chili lacked any seasoning—just beans in liquid. The employees were nice, but the food quality was not it.

This is a vegan fast-food counter, not a restaurant. Prices aren’t cheap, but the quality felt like fast food. Limp sweet potato fries, an overflowing trash can, and staff who seemed uninterested and slow to respond. Not worth it.

Hip City Veg is a staple of the vegan community here in Philadelphia & there is no disputing that, years ago it was basically unheard of to find vegan fast food & they were the reigning champs of the plant based comfort food game. However, the last 2-3 times I’ve eaten there, the food seems like it’s been knocked down several pegs in quality, has become significantly pricier & a significantly less pleasing environment to dine in. With competitors like PLNT popping up & contrasting what you get from HCV to a place like Jarrell’s Better Burger in Manhattan, it’s evident you’re being underserved. I love the concept of HCV & want them to succeed, I honestly feel like they need a team huddle & a menu update to catch up with the plant based food game of 2024.

I never review but this is for the amazing Kesha, who lovingly walked me (and literally back-to-back others in the 30 minutes I was there) through the gluten free options. She was so patient and kind to everyone, I wanted to hug her!
@HipCityVeg, thanks for being so gluten-friendly but please make those options clear on your menu (or put something online) so your lovely employees don’t have to do this all day – it really was every phone & in-person customer in the time I was there!
Good food, nice location, etc 🙂

This is a good restraunt for someone else. It is exactly what it says it is. Vegitetian fast food. They have a tone of cheap vegiterian options ranging ranging from shakes to chicken nuggets. We got the chicken wrap and chicken nuggets with a shake. They were all cheap but also not a lot of food. The food itself was decent but also nothing memorable. It eas passable as it’s imitations but since it’s imitating fast food meat, the bar isn’t very high. All of that to say, if you want a quick vegiterian snack it’s not bad (but you could also do better).

On a recommendation we came here and were not disappointed. Great chat with staff and a customer sitting next to us. I really should have taken a photo of the Philly Cheesesteak before I demolished it.

The food was good! I was expecting it to be a little better based off photos but it was tasty. The spicy chicken sandwich is SPICY be warned. I can tolerate spice but I was fighting for my life with that heat. Everything else was tasty and the staff was so friendly and helpful.

The food is delicious. The bun was soft. The temph was enough to give bacon a run for its money. The chicken was tender. The onion, pickle, and lettuce goes well with the sandwich. The sweet potato fries were tender and delicious. The two sauces I selected were Hippy City and Green Goddess. The Sweet Hippy City and Earthy Green Goddess were so delicious on the sweet potato fries. The Kale lemonade was not over sweet. It added a little bit of fresh to the entire meal. I recommend this meal. It all paired together well. Kudos to the customer service handling questions for first time customers by phone. Oh and everything I asked for was in the bag. They are awesome at this location and knew their stuff. I will definitely order here again.
