The best vegan food ever

I LOVE this place and it’s people. I also attended a raw vegan dessert class which was run by chef Ron. Very informative and inspiring. It’s so simple to eat healthier.
The menu is divine! Raw vegan options are incredibly delicious and exciting!

Pros: Ron + Steve, waiter, atmosphere , RAW vegan options , parking

Really good!

Cute and cozy atmosphere!
Food was great! I had the lasagna and my wife had the broccoli pesto pasta. Loved them!
For dessert I had the blueberry swirl cheesecake. It was a bit coconutty at first, which I normally don’t like, but it was really good! Wife said apple pie was good also!

Pros: All vegan, Good service, Big parking lot across the street

YUM!

Vegan mushroom pizza was sooooo good! Took my brother here, who isn't vegan and eats eggs every single day of his life, and he absolutely loved the tofu omelette. A bit pricey. They serve alcohol which is rare for vegan joints, so it's also awesome for date night or brunch.

Pros: delicious, alcohol

Cons: price

Cute and tasty restaurant

we had a late lunch there in the outside space where we sat really nice. The food was very tasty and the portions quite big, especially the salad.

In Town From Arizona And Wanting A Vegan Brunch

Thank you Happy Cow for another great, vegan restaurant find. OMG...the Sun Cafe brunch was so delicious. My husband and I ordered the Florentine Benedict and our daughter ordered the Mac n' Chez. Wow, wow, and wow!
The food, service, and patio setting were all wonderful!

Pros: Beautiful Patio, Great Food, Big Portions

Flavorful & Filling

Came in on a Sunday after finishing my Finish the Ride LA in Griffith Park. Jeff was very knowledgeable about telling me his favorite and what would be filling. Boy was I in for a surprise. i ordered the Farmer's Market Skillet. It's enough for like 3 people. The first bite was so delicious and flavorful. Loved the creaminess and heartiness of the meal.

I also got the truffle pesto pizza to go. Looks yummy.

Wish we could eat here everyday!

WOW. Nothing disappoints. This place is literally the best. I wish we could eat here every single day for lunch and dinner. You cannot go wrong with anything! Their nachos or tacos for appetizers! Definitely get their stir fry - our favorite so far! Their pizzas and sandwiches/burgers are also delicious! Don't forget their desserts! I love their key lime. Also this is a great place to get tipsy! Their craft cocktails are the best!!!

Pros: Best Vegan Food Ever, Great Cocktails, Generous Portions

Cons: Always Busy

One of LA's best

If you're in the LA area you need to visit this little resturant. They make great food that's healthy, a winning combo!

The staff is nice and the ambiance is lovely.

Nice place

We went and both got the ‘ALL GROWN UP GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH WITH CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP’ (sorry for the caps -copy, pasted) and the MINT SHAMROCK SHAKE, which was to die for! The staff was so friendly, and the atmosphere lovely! We will definitely be back if we go to LA again!

Pros: Their milkshakes, atmosphere, staff

Cons: Few parking spaces

Simply the best vegan restaurant

The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is friendly and the menu is fantastic. We ate there two nights in a row during our visit to L.A. from Denmark and we loved it. If you go to L.A. you have to try it!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Huge Portions!

I loved this place. Went with my friend and decided to split an appetizer and main dish. I was worried it wouldn’t be enough but when the nachos arrived it was HUGE!! We would’ve had to share anyways!! It was also delicious and flavorful. The fake meat on it was super good too. We also had the grilled cheese and tomato soup dish which was equally amazing. The soup was good enough to eat on its own but I also love to dip my sandwich in it! Can’t wait to try out their brunch!!! We will be back...

Pros: all vegan with FLAVOR, gluten free options, patio area

Cons: kinda small parking

Always special

I've got two plant-based eaters, one vegetarian, and one meat eater in our household. We have come here many times. Sometimes special occasions and other times to have a great meal. And truthfully it always is. Most recently I had the Cauliflower Steak. Seems simple and it was. Simply DELICIOUS! Others in our party had the stir-fry, three tacos, and the shepard's pie. Worth the visit. Every time!

Pros: Variety of options, Raw options, Portion size

Cons: Parking

Appréciable

Ce n'est pas le genre de restaurant vers lequel je me dirige habituellement mais on s'y sent à l'aise.
La terrasse est vraiment sympathique. (Mention spéciale pour les photos d'animaux à l'intérieur et l'arbre à peluches)
La nourriture que mon copain et moi avons choisi était assez simple, pizza pour lui et lasagne pour moi, que j'ai vraiment trouvé délicieuse.
Leur limonade maison est vraiment excellente !

C'est tout de même assez cher pour ce que c'est.

Pros: La terrasse, La limonade maison

Cons: Les prix

Gorgeous & Delicious

I loved everything about suncafe. It's a little out of the way near Universal studios but the building and setup is beautiful. The staff is friendly and pretty too and I even really liked the artwork on the walls. The food was amazing!!! I tried the quesadilla and it was a really great portion. I didn't feel hungry after and it's probably in my top 3 favorite dine in spots out here. There's outside and inside seating and different sets of lighting so whatever vibe you're looking for you can find and enjoy some amazing vegan food. I would be really interested to keep going to try the entire menu! I doubt anything is bad here, only thing is there weren't many if any raw options.

Pros: Ambience, Food quality, Service

Cons: Small parking lot , Few raw food options

Beautiful Food and Atmosphere!

I have only ever had wonderful experiences at Sun! The lovely outdoor seating area is my favorite place to be on a sunny day!
I have tried a couple items on the menu and have been highly impressed by them all. If you go for breakfast try the carrot "lox" cream cheese bagel! :)
The staff is friendly and extremely accommodating! I can't wait to go back to sun next time I'm in Studio City area.

Pros: Atmosphere, Exquisite Food , Service

Cons: Pricey , Far away from central LA

great vegan food lots of choices

There was a lot of choice on the menu, some great options and I really enjoyed my food as did my company. Staff helpful although the atmosphere was probably a bit too formal for me

Vegan Breakfast

Hi! We stopped for breakfast on our way leaving out of town (visiting for the weekend/Universal Studios). My husband ordered a smoothie and it was okay. He didn't love it. Our two boys and myself all ordered the waffles with fruit topping. The waffles were hard. If they had been fluffy they would have tasted great I think. There was very little fresh fruit. The service was okay nothing spectacular. I wouldn't describe it as being excellent customer service at all. We spend about $80 on breakfast for 1 smoothie and 3 waffle plates (1 waffle each with a few pieces of fruit). I would like to try some of their other entrees that they serve for lunch/dinner but this location will not be our first choice for going to a vegan restaurant.

favourite in LA (so far)

Been to most of the notable places in LA to eat for vegans but kept coming back to this one, in fact so many times one of the waitresses joked if we was trying to move in! But best place for me, great menu & the food is so good but you always feel great after eating it, never feels unhealthy or junky, even though it tastes so good. Go!

Pros: great food, great wine , nice staff

Cons: lil bit expensive but that's just America
