A solid choice

We've been here several times, but this is the first time we've gotten to try their brunch. Had the Chicken Biscuit, Blueberry Pancakes, and the Tofu Benedict. The portions were hearty, and very tasty. I was super satisfied with the Chicken Biscuit (seitan chicken with a sweet orange jalapeno marmalade in a homemade biscuit, side of home fries, kale salad, and tofu scramble), and I'm still thinking about that kale and biscuit! The pancakes were delicious (though it's really just one HUGE pancake in the short stack). I enjoyed the sample of the Tofu Benedict, but I can't really speak to it.

Anyway, I love their food in general, but brunch was spectacular. Also, we always get some cake to go - the chocolate and coconut are our favorites- soft and delicious!

Pros: All vegan, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Expensive

Good Food

I probably should’ve tried an entree but judging from the appetizers, I’d come back. The fried Brussels were really good. The Caesar salad was good as well. The desserts look promising but didn’t make me bite.

Pros: Greats Apps

Dining at Cafe for Over 20 Years

Just a note: the Sandy Springs location closed several years ago.
The original owner sold awhile back and although the menu has changed slightly, the food is still delicious. My husband enjoyed the fettuccine Alfredo and I had the orzo eggplant lasagna. Our guest raved over her Pad Thai. We all had leftovers to take home. The food reheats well. #Veganuary

Pros: Generous servings, Knowledgeable friendly staff

Cons: Miss visiting with the prior owner, Edward, Removed my favorite item from the menu, Which was the Portobello sandwich

Loved it!

Cafe Sunflower is a great restaurant with an extensive menu, nice atmosphere, and awesome service! I got the crispy wontons appetizer and fiesta enchilada as an entree. The enchilada was so good! My picture definitely doesn’t do it justice. My server, Sam, was super kind and helpful. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and I would have loved to try more of their food. I’ll definitely be back to Cafe Sunflower next time I’m in Atlanta!

Pros: 100% vegan, Nice atmosphere , Great food

Every bite was heaven!

When I tell you I inhaled their food! Every time I'm in Atlanta ill be here! The menu is extensive and their wine was tasty and crisp. Got a full carrot cake to go for 75$ and it was worth every penny!

Pros: Service, Desserts , Fried wontons

Delicious vegan gem

The food was delicious and I love the menu variety here. Service was super friendly as well. Nice chill vibe. Save room for dessert because their cakes are scrumptious.

Pros: Menu variety , Friendly service , Delicious desserts

Nice fine dining but too sweet

I go to a lot of vegan spots and I do not say this lightly - everything was way too sweet. Brussels - doused in sweet chili sauce. Spicy pad Thai with coconut cream sauce - more sweet than spicy. Impossible meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and kale - the meatloaf was covered in a very sweet glaze and the kale was in a very sweet mustard sauce. Delicious to be sure, but personally I like to save the sweet part of the meal for after - the amazing cake selection. I'm sure other things on the menu are less sweet, but the fact that I would have to hunt for them makes me unlikely to return.

Pros: Fine dining, Amazing cake, Good portion size

Cons: Most dishes were overly sweet, Pricey

For the fine dining vegan

Awesome to have a little bit of nicer vegan spot! A bit of a classier spot that has a good range of vegan dishes and extremely good desserts. The vegan brunches on Saturdays are something that's a must try as well! Prices are a bit high since it's a bit nicer, and the quality of dishes ranges a bit but the curry, salads are really good.

quality dinner spot

The food here was great. While it does cost more, you’re definitely getting what you pay for. If you’re looking for a nicer/“fancier” dinner spot, I would definitely recommend this place.

-artichoke spinach dip: very good as a lighter appetizer, although it is only served with regular corn chips (no pita) and is a bit on the smaller side. it’s a nice size for two people, but anything larger than that would not give you too much. the dip itself was very thick and tasty.

-pesto pasta: so so good. the portion size was large and the garlic bread that came with was very yummy. the pesto itself is on the lemony side, so just make sure you’re ok with that.

-“chicken” parm: also very very good, and a large portion size. the red sauce was incredible, nice and light yet still flavorful. i also liked how there were some veggies in the dish. the seitan chicken was decent, but it initially reminded me of vegan calamari.

Pros: quality food, large portion sizes for the pasta, friendly staff

Cons: appetizers seem kind of small, drinks were also a bit expensive for their size

Good vegan spot

Good variety of dishes but menu does not change frequently. Somewhat pricey for the portions. Also do not get the iced coffee (it is hot coffee with ice)

Beautiful, colorful, flavorful vegan food

Very nice restaurant with friendly service. Lots of parking. This was a road trip stop for me.
I order the fried avocado tacos, the fettuccine Alfredo and a piece of key lime pie for dessert. (Got the Alfredo to go as it’s a large portion).
I fully recommend this place.

Pros: Delicious , Well-priced, All vegan!!!

Lives up to the expectations

Had high expectations about it being the best vegan restaurant in ATL. They knocked it out of the park with the quesadilla. Simple ingredients, but so delicious and light. Their guac and salsa were very rich in taste and I had to ask them some chips to finish both. The Gyro Wrap was good I felt, but not as good as the quesadilla. The fries that came with it were on point. Had the Chocolate All the way through pastry for dessert and it was beautiful. The staff brought a whole tray with all the pastries available when asked for dessert menu, which was pretty cool.

First restaurant in ATL, did not disappoint!

Had a long wait for a table on a Friday night, but the food was excellent. I had the crispy wontons (amazing), chickn Parm (very good), and peanut butter chocolate mousse cake (excellent). My husband had the dumplings and shrimp tacos which I thought were so-so but he loved #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan menu, Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive, Long wait

Such good brunch

Oh my gosh!! Amazing brunch food. Was a little sad we only got two spring rolls for $8 but everything was so delicious. Chicken and waffles was the perfect amount, and the chicken biscuit was more than enough food! I’ll enjoy the leftovers for breakfast tomorrow!

Pros: Nice atmosphere , Delicious lattes, Amazing food

Cons: A little pricey

Great variety

An ATL institution that has been around for over 25 years! Wanted to try the whole menu, but I will be back on my future visits to ATL! I got the avocado roll (crispy) which had a homemade salsa that was fresh and delicious. I also got the Buffalo lollipops (the homemade bleu cheese dressing is outstanding) and a half size of the Caesar salad. Everything was excellent and fresh! Great service. We were there for lunch and it was busy!

Pros: Variety of food and drink options , Fast service , Friendly

Good Good Food! (AND I miss the Sandy Springs location...)

Good, good food. I do very much miss the Sandy Springs location - that was even better than this Buckhead location. (About halfway b/t Buckhead and Downtown.) That now-closed [thanks to Covid - argh] location also had more vegan, gluten-free options as well. I've been hoping that some of the favorites from that location would be offered here. To date, that hasn't happened just yet. (Folks, if you read these, please DO bring some of those yummy meals back!)

If you want a place to take an omni-eater and introduce them to vegan food? Come here. Wait till you see the look in their eyes of how good vegan food can be. Not only that, they'll truly wonder if what they ate was truly vegan b/c they won't miss the meat, egg, dairy or fish one single bit!

Simply the best!

I have patronized both, now one (sad face) location for most of my time in Atlanta (circa 1996 to present). The food is constantly and consistently amazing. 100% vegan, but take any of your friends, whatever their food preferences are, and they will be pleasantly surprised. Family-owned and operated, the Suns put their heart and soul into the restaurant, and it shows.

Pros: Consistent food quality, Flexible ordering and pick up process, Ample parking

so delicious!

this was a wonderful vegan restaurant and everything was incredible: particularly the house special “wontons” and the fried avocado tacos…we were blown away. the beyond burger was incredible. but the tacos & wontons stole the show. Pad Thai was okay

Pros: In door dining

It was ok

Everyone kept talking about how great this place is so I had to try it. The food I had was either hit or miss. Once you know what’s good, you’d probably enjoy it here. I had the spinach dip, which was really good- the chips that come with it weren’t tho. The brussel sprouts were amazing - crunchy, seasoned well and sweet. The buffalo chicken lollipops were horrible; I didn’t like the consistency at all but the blue cheese was amazing. The pesto pasta was great! It was flavorful and a large portion. The shrimp tacos weren’t that good to me. They weren’t seasoned well and the sauces were sweet and spicy, but not balanced. I took the sesame soy chicken home and it was so so. The seasoning was blah, but the vegetables were tasty. The chocolate mousse was ok, but the cake portion was dry. Overall, it’s really 3 1/2 stars to me because of what I got for the price.
