"Order: Chick’n CheezsteakVegan-ish is a reminder that eating vegan doesn’t need to feel like a sacrifice. Vegan-ish uses creative cooking techniques to recreate snack foods like chicken tenders, cheese fries, and burgers. There’s something for non-vegans as well: the ish in the name refers to the fact that they also cook seafood, like blackened salmon burritos and shrimp burgers."

"West Philly’s vegan sandwich shop focuses on vegan meals, with a few seafood options too — hence the vegan-ish moniker.

Order online for pickup or delivery."

Open daily until 3pm or until they sell out, this spot’s donuts are consistently delicious and fresh."
