YUM! - Edit
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.

Flavorful & Filling - Edit
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.

Wish we could eat here everyday! - Edit
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!!!

Nice place - Edit
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!

Huge Portions! - Edit
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...

Always special - Edit
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!

Appréciable - Edit
Ce n'est pas le genre de restaurant vers lequel je me dirige habituellement mais on s'y sent à l'aise.
Read moreLa 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 - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Ambience, Food quality, Service

Vegan Breakfast - Edit
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) - Edit
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!
Read morePros: great food, great wine , nice staff
Cons: lil bit expensive but that's just America

amazing food - Edit
The food is amazing. Everything we have had was good! BBQ cauliflower, nachos, tacos it was all so flavorful! The service was so friendly and warm on the occasions we went. However most recently our server went from having just 4 tables to mange at the beginning of our meal, to at least 6 on all sides of the restaurant (inside and outside) this is way too much to ask of someone. And because of it we were neglected in this shuffle we, among other things weren't able to get more water, our exiting service was unsatisfactory it took us more than 20 mins to ask for and pay for our check. We noticed the server had so many tables because we were watching him work the entire restaurant while we anxiously waited to be able to leave. Finally the hostess brought our check over, but it had an error, they fixed it but it was just another bump on the road. I hope if we decide to go back the service will be more balanced.

GREAT food - Edit
A restaurant, not a cafe as the name suggests.
Read moreWe ordered quesidilla, a toasted sandwich and a milkshake. The shake was meant to be coffee, tasted more like chocolate but that's fine with me. Friends ate a burger and mac n cheese, looked really good. The restaurant also serves beer and wine.
Service was very attentive and friendly. Portions were bang on (although I got a box on account of the milkshake, which was 20oz).
There was a sharp intake of breath when the bill came ($140 for 4 people) which prevents this being 5 stars.
Pros: Quality food, very tasty, Excellent service
Cons: $$
