HipCityVeg Now Offers Calorie Counts

This, ironically enough, was my lunch yesterday. There was a curry tofu wrap inside.

This has literally been months in the making, people. I first emailed HipCityVeg owner Nicole Marquis back in March when I got wind of the fact that she was in the process of sleuthing out the calorie counts for the food on her cafe’s menu. Today, at long last, those calorie counts arrived in my inbox.

Before I proceed, HipCity regulars will notice that not every item on the menu is included here, and there’s no word yet if all items will be included eventually. For now, the restaurant’s spokesgal Dalia Gonzalez told me, “Nicole did not include ‘fried’ items because, well … they’re fried.” So, take that as you will.

Here’s what we do have nutrition data for:
