Vegetarian Series Review: Maggie's Vegetarian Café

By Cory Kibler and Dennis Kornbluh

Maggie’s Vegetarian Café is a small, locally owned restaurant situated in the Haymarket at 311 N. 8th Street near the northwest corner of "Q" Street.  It's a cozy space, but the menu is extensive, offering multiple vegetarian and vegan wraps, soups, and salads.  You can order at the counter and sit comfortably at one of the five small tables in the store, or have your order wrapped to-go.

Previously, I’ve enjoyed breakfast and soup at Maggie’s, but until my most recent visit I hadn't sampled their signature dish: the wrap. After studying the menu for several minutes, I found myself torn between the three-cheese and the avocado wrap. I ended up deciding on the latter, which, I had been told, is one of the most popular items on the menu.
