Tasty & Accessible Vegan: Broad Street Food Cart Lot

If you’ve lived in Richmond for more than a year, you’ve probably met Ed Edge. His personality is as memorable as his name, and he’s doing big things for our city (see his old business, Christ Cycles). One of his recent ventures has been setting up Richmond’s first food cart lot at 1825 W Broad St between Meadow and Lombardy.

Staples of the lot currently include RVA Vegan, Rooster Cart (former owners at Cafe Gutenberg, so you know it’s yummy) and Dollop desserts. I haven't tried Dollop yet, but RVA Vegan and Rooster Cart are 100% vegan and 100% delicious. Sammies at Rooster run around $8/ea. If you’re on a budget, try RVA Vegan’s selection — cupcakes, hotdogs and tamales, all for $2/ea. Ed’s goal is to make vegan food accessible for everyone, both on price point and taste. (Tip — his cinnamon cupcakes are to die for.)

The lot is typically open from noon to 3p on weekdays and occasionally evenings and weekends. Follow RVA Vegan, Rooster Cart and Dollop on Facebook for daily schedules.
