  This restaurant was recommended by a few people and as a vegan I was dying to dine in here. We went to dinner on a Saturday evening so its best to make reservations in advance so that you don’t have to wait. Our server was very knowledgeable, he answered all the questions and even recommended us with the best drinks. Cocktails were strong and well made. The food was phenomenal! We ordered 6-7 different dishes, as they are tapas style, small portions but really good quality. It’s a seasonal menu so I would love to come back again in few weeks for their spring menu. The only issue I had was the restaurant gets so loud, the tables are very close to each other and it’s very hard to have a conversation with the person sitting across the table. But I guess that how almost every restaurant lately has been.

  Great place for vegan food. Small portions but tastes good and quite reasonably priced. Cocktails are excellent and strong. Place seems to be crowded always and hence noisy. Except that it was a great experience!

  CWAS is one of my long-standing favorites in the neighborhood. Over the years I’ve been here for proper vegan dinners & drinks, it literally never disappoints! Interior decor has a vintage “parlour” overall feel, lighting always dim, very cozy & ideal for dates! This last stop was only for drinks after dinner at PietraMala. I don’t drink alcohol but the mocktail menu is on point & the harder stuff always receives fabulous reactions from folks I’m dining with. If you’re looking to dive into the Philly vegan restaurant scene, start here - you won’t be disappointed!

  Great food, kind server and cozy atmosphere. We sampled several small plates and cocktails and everything was delicious. Definitely recommended having a reservation.

  The ambiance of this place is absolutely immaculate. It’s almost fully candle lit and feels intimate even though the room can get really full. I tried the Rings of Saturn drink which was delicious and surprisingly cohesive for a drink that has vodka and Pinot in it. The potato croquettes were exactly right for light snacking, not really a full appetizer to a meal. And you honest to god would never know it was all vegan, they’re very minimal about that fact which plays to their favor.
