If you ask if certain cheeses are vegan, they'll say yes for ones that contain milk. They also put sauces that contain egg on sandwiches that they tell you are fully vegan. Unfortunately, it seems like it depends on who's working that day, to be sure that you're ordering vegan food Updated from previous review on 2023-07-20

I wasn't expecting to be impressed like I was with Butcher's Son, but I was really pleased with what I had - the Pilgrim, which has vegan turkey and cranberry. The menu indicates which vegetarian options can be made vegan, and you can also inquire about other options. I highly recommend this place for busy vegans!
