Gangster Vegan Organics - Broad Channel

I can 't believe that I 've never written a review of this place. A few months ago, I decided to get my life together and try out a new diet/cleanse known as a Raw Vegan cleanse. Now, I 've eaten vegan before and I always said that it wasn 't bad and I could see myself doing a mostly vegan diet if I really wanted a lifestyle change. But, this wasn 't just a regular vegan diet. This was a RAW vegan diet. If you 're not sure what the difference is like I was, look it up. It 's a version of veganism that only allows one to eat raw versions of the food. NOTHING CAN BE COOKED! I 've never missed a microwave so badly in my life. What I wouldn 't do for some flavor. It was a rough few weeks. But, there was a place 30 minutes away from me in Upper Marlboro. When I tell you this was the closest thing to heaven during my cleanse, I kid you not! When I first tried this place after going full raw for a week, bruh... this place saved me. It gave me hope that a transition to veganism wasn 't out of the bag yet. Why oh why can 't there be more places like this with healthy options closer to me?!Now, not all items on their menu were raw vegan, but they had enough options to choose from. What I got my first time was the Nortorious Tuna salad with walnut taco meat. I also got a De La Soul smoothie with a slice of their apple pie cake (I forgot exactly what it 's called) but it was all delicious!If you 're looking for some healthy options, want some flavor, and don 't want to starve, I would HIGHLY recommend you try this place out. I will be back for sure!

I ordered the Esta Loca Taco salad. I enjoyed the combination of veggies and ground walnut meat. However, I did not like how the bed of lettuce was soggy. There was just too much sauce. Maybe next time, I'll request it on the side. I'd still recommend and am very open to try other options on the menu.

Finally found my way to this local gem. Love that the owners will take you through everything on the menu, make recs and get you on your way quickly! Wonderful service and delicious food!

If you are interested in trying vegan food, Gangster Vegan Organics is the place to start. The menu offers something for every palate. The natural pressed juiced are delicious and refreshing.There is limited seating, so be prepared to order to go.

I love seeing a black owned business that is all for healthy options!! Admittedly I 've only had the Esta Loca salad as far as their food menu. I 've also had the Redman juice and the Hangover wellness shot. The Hangover wellness shot was extremely helpful when I was battling a sinus infection. I 'm not sure why but the lettuce in the Esta Loca salad seemed more like iceberg lettuce but the salad was still tasty and was huge portion for me. I want to return to try one of the burgers since I told my mom about Gangster Vegan and she loved the Swizz Beets.
