American Vegan Center, Philadelphia PA

We've been surprised of the cold welcome, far from the ones described in other reviews although we were enthusiastic (at first) to come here and see if we could get good vegan information. We still ended up buying 2 shirts but without being able to try them, 1 of them is too short and will remain a "souvenir" of the American Vegan Center.

American Vegan Center is an unexpected but very informative resource for those interested in veganism and the history of Philadelphia. The center is staffed by very knowledgeable people and the 90 minute walking tour is a must do! Who know that Ben Franklin was a vegetarian and had imported a tofu making kit in the USA over 200 years ago? The center has vegan food and merch for sale and even free samples when available! Must visit if you are a vegan or looking for some meaningful/educational tourist experience!

Lot of books T shirts tote bags literature and some food. They also have a seasonal veg history of Philadelphia tour. We attended the tourand it was very insightful

Just visiting and I had no idea that Philly was the vegan capital of the world! The staff was very friendly and informative and pointed me toward some great vegan food!

Great vegan resources. The people here are super nice! They gave me a brochure and a free vegan strawberry kolach which was incredibly delicious! Love that it’s right across the street from the Christ Church farmer’s market.
