Darwins is a sandwich shop/market adjoining a coffee shop. The sandwich shop was nuts when I went there for lunch, with lots of people crammed in to order all kinds of deli-style sandwiches on a variety of bread.
The vegan options are fairly limited, but I did enjoy the Lakeview on rosemary-garlic bread. The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the vinaigrette dressing had just the right zing. No seating, though, so I went next door to get a soy latte with chocolate syrup, and a vegan chocolate chocolate chip muffin.
I hadn't had a muffin in a while, so I was eager to try such a rich sounding option, but it needed more chocolate chips. Don't get me wrong; I finished it, but I would have liked some soy milk to wash it down! The latte was fine, but on the smallish side, and in need of sweetening. I obviously have a sweet tooth!
My impression of this place is that it's a bit too far off Harvard Square to make a trip instead of something nearer to the T, but it's nice to know the option's there if I want it.
