  Used to be the Mayorga Coffee spot… I kind of miss that place. I like the idea of Soupergirl, but wish they also offered non-vegan soup.

    What happened to Mayorga? Did they move somewhere else or are they gone from Takoma for good?

  Is PoP moving to Takoma? That’s the only explanation I can think of for all of these recent TP posts.

  I love hearing how successful the Soupergirl has been – there was also an article in the WaPo style section about her and the store yesterday.
  That said, I also wish she offered non-vegan soups, since I don’t eat beans and they are a main ingredient in most of her winter soups.

    Yeah, can’t they add some meat-based soups for those of us who are carnivores?

      I’m vegetarian, and I appreciate the plethora of vegan options in a restaurant world that is normally super-meat oriented (you carnivores get, like, every other restaurant! )…that being said, I see where you’re coming from and I wouldn’t mind Soupergirl sharing the soup-love with my meat-eating friends. I don’t know too much about the place, other than eating their soups, so I’m not sure if the veganism comes from an animal rights commitment or if it’s just less of a hassle to meet their kosher standard if they’re not even dealing with meat or dairy at all.

  Oh! It looks like they’ll actually be packing/serving the soup for you from behind the counter at the new location. If so, this is great news. The old way was really cumbersome. I wonder if they have coffee in the morning…and if so, I assume the milk/cream is vegan?

    With the old way did you have to stand in an exact spot, know exactly what you were going to order and have your money ready? Did they give you free bread if you ordered correctly?

  After speaking with the owner Sara, they also hope to add live performances with the new space.

  Is their soup organic, locally sourced and gluten free?

  Too bad their soup is terrible. Everything is better with meat in it.
