Bloomingdale's: The name says it all. On the baked side: vegan pies, cookies and fruit-filled cupcakes in easy-to-peel-back wax paper. On the wired side: coffee from quality brands like Stumptown and Counter Culture.
Krystal Stanley: Best cupcakes in DC- HANDS DOWN! My favs are the carrot, Karen's, vanilla, vegan, German chocolate. I also love the pumpkin gingerbread- its usually on the wired side. The Au Lait is great as well.
Camilla: This place is amazing! The lines are long, but move super fast!! Had the Elvis, Dirty Chai, Vegan and Red Velvet. Can recommend all of these and probably all the other ones too ;)

Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Downtown-Penn Quarter-Chinatown · 10 tips and reviews
Laurenellen McCann: Probably the best food -- vegan, raw, or non-vegan -- I've had in DC. Every bite makes you want to slow down and savor. (Also, you might just find Elizabeth herself helping out the waitstaff. Say hi!)
DailyCandy: "Because vegans have birthdays and anniversaries too, this raw restaurant in a tony townhouse (an offshoot of Elizabeth Petty’s catering company) comes alive once a week for a prix fixe feast."
Maci Peterson: Great food and a wonderful staff. Opt to do the wine pairing with each course. It completely enhances the flavors in the dishes.
