NuVegan Cafe
Upper Market
Where Flavor Meets Purpose
Since 2008, NuVegan Cafe has been redefining what it means to eat plant-based.
Founded by Vernon Woodland, we’re more than just a cafe — we’re a movement. We serve soulful, award-winning vegan cuisine that’s rich in flavor and rooted in culture.
Our Mission:
We’re on a mission to change the perception of vegan cuisine — showing the world that plant-based food can be bold, satisfying, and deeply fulfilling.
Why NuVegan?
Flavor First: Plant-based food doesn’t have to lack flavor. Our menu is packed with rich, savory dishes — from crispy chick’n drummies to creamy mac and “cheese.”
Community Driven: We’re more than a cafe. We’re a hub for conscious living, supporting our local community and providing opportunities for people to thrive.
Inclusivity & Connection: Whether you’re a lifelong vegan, exploring healthier eating, or just craving great food, there’s a seat at our table for everyone.
Our Impact:
Over the years, we’ve expanded across the DMV area and beyond. From ready-to-eat meals and catering services to community events, we’re here to inspire and uplift — one flavorful bite at a time.
