    This is still by far one of my favorite go to lunch spots. When I'm solo and out, I will go out if my way to hit up naked lunch. Ingredients are always fresh and delivery fantastic flavor. It's also quite healthy in comparison to other places you can choose close by. The value for what you get it also still the best around. I stand by my first review to not sleep on this spot as it's a great one. I always get the califlower tacos, but I do not think that the sprout tortillas are the same as the corn option. If they only have corn I would choose another option. It just doesn't give me the same yummy taste.

    MOM'S Organic Market's "Naked Lunch" is an all-organic cafe serving in-house-made vegetarian and vegan sandwiches, salads, bowls, juices, and desserts. It is my favorite go-to lunch spot when at work. Each week they have a special raw pressed juice, different desserts to pick from and one or two different entrée options. For the most part you can grab the staples such as their Kale Caesar, Confetti Bowl, Moler Bowl, Sushi Bowl, Black Bean Burger, Cauliflower Tacos, Jammed Yam and Greek Potatoes. This time around I went with the Confetti Bowl. The Confetti Bowl consists of a hefty portion of brown rice and black beans with grated parmesan cheese, mixed peppers, olives, tomatoes, corn, garnished with cilantro and jalapeños and a zesty lime jalapeño dressing. This was $10.75. I was unaware that you could add items so next time I will add tofu for some added protein!

    I stop by Naked Lunch at least once a week. As a vegan it cannot be any easier to find a meal here. Most of their menu items are already vegan, and all of them can be made vegan by subbing cheese for their cashew cheese. My most ordered bowl is this sushi bowl. It's a great price point and is always two meals for me. If Ken is there he always makes it the prettiest by fanning out the avocado and topping it with sesame seeds. My second favorite bowl is the Thai cashew bowl. Sometimes that bowl is three meals for me! It is huge!

    Buffalo cauliflower tacos - LOTS of sauce. (Get it on the side)

    Okay so I'm convinced that everything at Naked Lunch is delicious. I've only had the black bean burger, and today I tried the buffalo cauliflower tacos. The black bean burger has always been a great deal, it's decently sized with a large side salad with choice of dressing and WITH guacamole for $9.75. The buffalo cauliflower tacos were great, though as you can see in my photos the sauce was HEAVY. I do like my sauce, but this was a lot. If I think it's a lot, it's usually drenched. So forewarning, I would get it on the side if you're not about sauce. They use a sprouted grain tortilla which was kind of like corn texture, and I don't even like corn tortillas. If your a spice noob, the buffalo sauce was a bit spicy to me personally. I'm obsessed with Naked Lunch. I'm not even a vegan, vegetarian, anything. I'm so impressed and on top, Mom's is a great grocery store to shop at!

    I'm not a vegan (although sometimes I try!) but I always appreciate a tasty vegan meal, especially if it's of some of my favorite things (ie: tacos!). For a chain, this place is solid and as reliable as they get for a quick healthy "fast food" meal. My go to is their kale caesar and cauliflower buffalo tacos. I love the flavors and consistency and when on the go, you can't ask for more than that. They have fresh juices and while they have a set menu of really delicious things, you can also make your own bowls which is always a plus :)

    Header of my review would be RIP naked lunch 2018-2022. Been eating out here since they opened but today was the very last time Im here. Not only they raised price for 1$ before they reduced size of container (to give you less food) but also reduced the amount what goes into container. Made a lovely photo today.

    Naked Lunch (located inside Mom's) is a local treasure, serving up amazing, fresh, healthy, vegetarian and vegan food with a ton of flavor. The staff are friendly and have great suggestions if you need one, too. Everything on the menu is great, but we have a particular fondness for the kale Caesar, which has a vegetarian dressing that's delicious on its own, but when combined with the Parmesan, kale, and balsamic roasted hearts of palm, is otherworldly. We get this at least once a week and it hits the spot every time.

    Good prices. Good food. Friendly staff. Clean and bright space. Eating area. Attached to healthy grocery store. Only challenge is that everything (EVERYTHING) is super high in protein - making it healthy (and tasty) for most, but no options for folks on a low protein diet. My friends all enjoyed the food. I went next door and got Cava salad - all veggies, no protein.

    Prepared foods like bean burgers next to raw and cooked veggies and grains to add to bowls. Soups are stellar as well and all fresh

The carrot/cabbage and greens were fresh and tasty. I probably wouldn't get the rice again. It was fine, but served mostly to fill me up rather than add flavor. Japanese Katsu Curry Bowl ($15.00) plus $1.00 for greens and $0.50 for extra curry sauce. My partner enjoyed this dish, but thought the curry flavor could have been stronger. Also, they probably wouldn't get the extra sauce again. Overall, good bowls. We'll be back. One disappointment is that there is no way to "build your own bowl." I asked the server, and she said you can ask to substitute an item on one of their main bowls, but there's no "create your own" option. Since you order from a kiosk, it seems that could be straightforward, with the price adjusted based on what you add in, but I guess not here. That will limit the number of times I come here, because I prefer the option for variety. Ordering vis kiosk also doesn't allow you to order the sauce "on the side," which is another unnecessary (IMHO) limitation.

Got the vegan black bean quesadilla and mixed berry muffin. At 99 cents each, the muffin is a great price. It looks and tastes homemade, and not as sweet and "cakey" as other commercial bakery muffins. It was moist with sweetness from mostly the blueberries and cranberries (nothing dried, all fresh). Loved it and will buy again. The quesadilla was made to go on a hot skillet. The tortilla was perfectly toasted and crispy. It was stuffed with vegan cheese, black beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and corn. The beans were seasoned well (chipotle) and the vegan cheese and veggies complemented perfectly. Came with also a side portion of spicy crema sauce which added a kick to the dish. Staff was polite, food is great! Will continue supporting these businesses!

Back then the food quantity and the service were top notch-great service with a smile and good quantity portion size. Since then, everything has gone downhill and this place is hit or miss depending on who makes your food, not to mention that anything worth having or anything that is not a cheap item has been removed from the menu (ex: hearts of palm, and now even the popular jackfruit tacos!) Only the cheapest ingredients left behind such as beans, chickpeas, onions, cilantro so they can major profit more and more. The menu has become boring to everyone I know with no exciting new items but just the same old and taking away certain items that the customers love. (Other Moms locations I go to switch up their menus with yummy offerings that Ive never seen offered at this location) Their prices have also gone up quite a couple of times since before covid and on top of that their portion sizes have lessened by more than 50% and still they get stingy only at this location when scooping the scoops always shaking the spoon to lessen the portion of each scoop and still finding sneaky ways to raise the prices more or take away anything that might cost more. Ive also noticed they only hire Hispanics now which I don't care but they definitely do not give service with a smile and half the time they don't understand what you are asking for and get rude if you sub or ask for something that might require a change. I am Spanish so of course I understand the language and alot of times they talk bad or whisper to each other right in front of me when you are undecided or make changes to the menu items. In my opinion, a different manager is needed that values customer service as the current manager is rude and does not like when you ask for substitutions and very stingy as well with portion sizes. Back in the day if i wanted half a scoop of one topping and half of another on my tacos it was ok, not anymore. A lot of people who don't come here often rate good as a good lunch spot but when you come here consistency, you start to see the flaws and lack of service,

We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.

What impressed me most was the quality and creativity of the menu. There's truly something for everyone, whether you're vegan or not. The restaurant itself feels bright, airy, and inviting. It's the kind of place where you can easily gather with friends, family, or even enjoy a date night. The service was excellent, and our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind.
