Not knowledgeable about vegan

Vegan options were not labeled and the server was not knowledgeable about vegan options. I had a side of kale that turned out to have been made with meat. Ugh! Everyone was apologetic and they did not charge for our meals. Super nice folks, eggplant was delicious. We will try them again sometime.

Pros: Nice people, Nice location

Cons: Not knowledgeable about vegan food

Excellent option for vegan travelers

Only in town for weekend and wanted a vegan option for breakfast before leaving. 3 Sister’s Cafe delivered! Loved the Groovy Grains breakfast burrito. The 5 grains were very flavorful. Nice outdoor dining option. Tofu Scramble was good, but not a “robust” tofu scramble. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Pros: Several vegan options, Accommodating staff (suggest menu substitutions)

Tasty but would rather make at home

The tofu scramble was alright but I prefer making my own. Had some other things but wasn't impressed. Most of the vegan menu is not really worth going out for in my opinion, but then again this isnt really my type of flavor. It is nice if you just want to go out for fun.

Pros: Decent amount of vegan options

Delicious and so friendly

It’s true that vegan options are a bit limited but I still found myself having to decide between options. I ended up sticking with the tofu scramble and it was fantastic! It’s also priced very fairly for a huge serving. Plus they allow dogs at the outside tables.

Pros: Delicious , Really friendly staff, Dog friendly

Cons: A bit limited for vegans (but still options)

Yum!

I tried the black bean burger(vegan) and it was delicious! Topped with spring mix, onion, tomato, guacamole, and salsa. 3 bean chili was also tasty.

Delicious vegan options

As Californians we loved the casual hippie atmosphere and the staff was super friendly. I had the tofu scramble with comes with 5 add-ins so I added roasted broccoli, bell peppers, garlic, squash, spinach, and tomatoes. my sister had the avocado toast and it was delicious. They added a layer of cashew cream under the avocado and topped with strawberries, greens, and a sweet balsamic drizzle. My daughter had the Groovy Grains which also came with her choice of add-ins squash, spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms. We also got a side of the breakfast potatoes which were regular potatoes & sweet potatoes and they were amazing. Our dishes also came with a choice of a toast or English muffin and both were house made and soooo good! I’ve never had a homemade English muffin before 😋
They also had several plant based milk options 👍🏽

Good for ovolacto not for vegans

I recently went from ovo to vegan and I used to eat here all the time. I was surprised to find on a recent visit that they aren't as vegan friendly as I thought. If you're vegan you have a choice of about 3 sides and 1-2 sandwiches

Pros: Lots of vegetarian options , Great food, Soy for coffee

Cons: Very few vegan options , Slow service (even when empty)

Always Delicious

I have never been disappointed after a trip to 3 Sisters. Their hummus is the best I have ever had, and I make sure to get it every time I'm there. I have never been someone to like mushrooms, but their portobello burger is delicious. Ask for mustard on the side. The BBQ grains sandwich is also always wonderful and I always have leftovers. Never been disappointed with anything I've ever ordered!

Great for Vegans and non-Vegan Family members

I love Three Sisters! The atmosphere is homey and true to the Broadripple spirit. Whenever I am in Indianapolis we go to Three Sisters because my non-Vegan family members can eat what they want and the rest of us who are vegan can eat what we want. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Having lived in South Florida for 18 years - where there is no place to go (outside of Miami) for a nice vegan breakfast - I really appreciate their menu. Love it, love it, love it!

Pros: Great food, friendly staff, super atmosphere

Cons: None

Another 'meh' vegetarian options place

On the plus side, 3 Sisters has quite a few vegetarian and vegan options on their menu.

On the downside, those vegan options taste pretty bland. There's always a long line outside 3 Sisters on the weekends, so I guess the meat options taste better than the veggie stuff.

The tofu scramble for example tastes like a few stir-friend peppers were thrown on top of a block of unseasoned tofu, and a dash of salt was added. The potato hash always comes out cold and without any flavor as well.

I hear that this place used to be an all-veg restaurant that started serving meat just a few years ago. I'm glad to see vegan and veggie options still on the menu, but would rather get some flavor when I go out to eat. I'll give this one a pass for now.

Pros: big portions

Cons: bland food

Revised review - disappointed

The last 2 times my omni husband and I have gone here, we have been disappointed. It used to be my favorite place for breakfast. I feel like they might be under new ownership. My scrambled tofu has not been cooked like it used to be. It has been pretty tasteless the last 2 times. My husband ordered some type of egg product both times, and he was disappointed as well. The service was great, so I can't complain there, but the food has gone downhill. Even the toast isn't as good. They changed the type of bread they use. I'm revising from 4 stars to 3. Huge bummer. I'll be going to Zest (another Indy establishment) for scrambled tofu outside my home from now on. I'll give 3 Sisters another shot for their lunch items and may revise my review again then.

Pros: egg-free breakfast items, friendly staff, has a lot of character

Cons: food has gone downhill recently

Decent, more veg than vegan friendly

We enjoyed 3 Sisters, and have now been twice. The vegan options are somewhat limited. Basically a number of salads, and maybe 4-5 different sandwiches. They also have a vegan chili, which is just ok. Their portabella burger is fantastic. Black bean less so. Service is friendly but not the fastest. No vegan options for dessert. Haven't tried the breakfast yet but plan on doing so at some point. One of the best options in Indy but that's not saying much.

Cons: limited vegan options

Pretty good

I like this place, and my omni-parents enjoy the food here. I've had good and bad visits. They have some good vegan options, and plenty for vegetarians. Service is hit or miss. If they're busy you tend to be ignored a bit. I have generally been pleased with my food, but not blown away by it. I was disturbed to read below that vegan options are cooked on the same grills as meat options. I will certainly ask about this before I go back. The food tends to taste fresh. I like the three grains scramble a lot. I also like the interior of the place; it feels very homey. So while I wouldn't put it at the top of my Indy dining list, I would still say check it out.

Pros: vegan options, nice location, price

Cons: are vegan options cooked on meat grills?, hit or miss service

meh...

Good vegan breakfast options (scrambled tofu) and a few lunch items. Expect to be here for a loooooong time as the service is always slow and forgetful. It isn't really that spectacular, but it ain't bad for Indianapolis.

Pros: breakfast, location

Cons: bad service, not open for dinner

Not For Vegans

From what I gathered when I stopped at this place, there were very limited vegan options. Unless you want something basic and plain like chili, hummus, or a salad, this place isn't going to offer you much. Although they have items one would assume are vegan like tempeh and black bean burgers, they really aren't because they grill these items on the same grills they grill animal flesh on. As a result, if you order these items you will end up with cross contamination. In Indianapolis, this isn't unusual as this city is known for its lack of good vegan dining options. The places that do offer vegan options tend to offer very basic, non-creative, and bland offerings. Three Sisters and the like would be well advised to pick up some vegan cookbooks so they may expand their culinary offerings and possibly put themselves on par with other Midwest cities like Columbus, OH, and Chicago, IL, which have long provided vegans with great dining options.

Cons: uncreative cuisine, bland, crross-contamination
