Veganism is more popular than ever with about 2 million Americans following a purely vegan lifestyle, and that sure appears to be the case here in Philly.

State of play: After trying out Fitz on 4th's 100% plant-based menu over the weekend, I asked Axios Philadelphia readers for their thoughts on the city's top vegan spots. Responses came flooding in, so we thought we'd share them with you too. Your picks:

Bar Bombon, a hip spot in Rittenhouse, has some delicious Puerto Rican-inspired offerings.
Bourbon and Branch in Northern Liberties boasts that virtually everything on their menu can be made vegan, and readers say the vegan chicken nuggets are a must-try.
Dimi is a Black-owned single-serve dessert company based in Philly. Their sweet treats, including a new nut-free vegan carrot cake, can be found at many city coffee shops and grocery stores like Riverwards, founder Jeff Aziakou's wife tells Axios.
Of course, nationally renowned Vedge, in Center City, made the cut. Chefs Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby have perfected high-end vegan dining. I've heard good things about the campfire carrot.
Grindcore House, a vegan coffee shop where you can also get your daily dose of punk and metal music, is another solid option in South Philly. They're teasing a new seasonal item called the Peach Reaper.
P.S. & Co. near Rittenhouse Square is keepin' it 100! All their ingredients are organic, vegan, gluten-free and kosher.
Charlie Was A Sinner has been around for quite some time, and it's reliably good.
