Favorite restaurant ever

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. This is hands down our favorite Restaurant, and we make a point to come here on vacation even though it is 5 hours away from home! The staff is always super friendly and the food is always amazing. I struggle to find gluten free options when I go out but it is no problem here. 10/10 love this place. We ate here 5 times in our 4 day stay…

Pros: Plenty of gluten free options , Very reasonable pricing , Always nice staff

Best vegan food in Nashville

I got the BBQ bowl and everything was incredible, especially the collard greens and BBQ "meat." Highly recommend. We're going back before we fly home just so I can eat it again. My husband got the Hot Chicken. While it was tasty, it wasn't as good as the bowl.

Love!

This is one of my go to’s. They’ve expanded their menu and honestly everything here is delicious. The best plant based queso is the best I’ve ever had-honestly no one would know it’s not real cheese. This is also a great option for ordering larger quantities for entertaining.

Pros: All vegan options , Wide variety of menu items, Very affordable

Good food and healthy options

This is a great place to get healthy and tasty meals. Steamed kale, tofu in a yummy sauce, different grains or bean for the day options, tacos, the best homemade veggie burgers in Nashville and pretty much anything a vegan would want in a casual scoop and serve setting.

Pros: Healthy options, Variety, All vegan

Pleasantly surprised

I didn’t expect to like this place as much as I did. I got the jalapeño burger with their house made veggie burger and it was delicious and filling. The kombucha was okay…not very refreshing. Had a piece of the gluten free carrot cake which was also yummy

So so SO good!

This place blew us away. So many delicious options!! We had the Thai Ginger bowl, southwest BBQ burger, and bbq quesadilla with a side of pad Thai salad to go. We loved every dish. The bowl was by far our favorite! They do happy hour M-F 3-6pm with $2 beers and $5 apps. Highly recommend

Pros: Lots of options, Super affordable , Friendly staff

Cons: Not a big enough stomach to try everything 😅

Sunflower is amazing!

Delicious, healthy food with something for everyone! Definitely a must try around here. Staff are always helpful & friendly. Rotating specials and happy hour specials, too. I’ve liked everything I’ve tried from Sunflower! Love Sunflowet Bakehouse in Donelson, too!

Pros: Delicious, Healthy

Cons: A little expensive, but worth it

Great Casual Place for Lunch

We ate here for lunch three times on our recent visit to Nashville. They have seating inside as well as an outdoor deck. We didn't try their bowls, but had several salads, sides, homemade veggie burgers, and sandwiches. We enjoyed everything we tried, nothing disappointed us. We look forward to returning here the next time we come to the Nashville/Franklin area!

Pros: Great Sandwiches, Salads, Sides, Veggie Burgers, Lots of good seating, Fair prices

Cons: I wish the parking lot was bigger, I wish the line was a little shorter

They make the food

Cafeteria style. Delicious. If it made like you want. Burger is one of my favorites across the USA. Natural ingredients. Made in house.
Not like most places with BRANDED burgers and pre-made food by restaurant suppliers. A bit out of the way. Doesn't have a good presences from.the street. Thought it was closed. Though it is a low key /no service mom and pop type restaurant. Small town feel.🙂

Pros: Special order the way u like it. , Fresh made food., Outdoor seating.

Cons: No service

Amazing

Maybe my favorite vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to. Everything is vegan unless you add dairy cheese, and all of it is reasonably priced. The workers are always really friendly too. The parking lot can be kind of a nightmare though

Favorite Restaurant in Nashville!!

Just Get the Jalapeno burger. It won't disappoint. The umami savory-ness & fullness you want from a burger without the meat. Broccoli slaw is another fav. They have consistently rotating menu options to try.

Pros: LOTS of vegan options, Tasty, flavorful, Great staff

Cons: Wish there was more than one location

Delicious

Cute outdoors but if better done inside this place would be packed regularly. The food is outstanding! My daughter is not vegan but she craves it when going through town. We haven’t had anything mediocre yet.

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff, Clean, Delicious variety

Cons: Ambience could be better inside

My favorite!

I love the lasagne which is the Wednesday special. I sometimes order a catering size for holidays and my birthday. The original hummus is as good as my homemade hummus. The orginal BBQ is delicious. I love the no bake cookie. I haven't tasted anything I don't like. Since the entire restaurant is vegan, I don't have to think about someone messing up and putting an animal product in my food.
They have a sister store that is a bakehouse. It would be great if they could bring some of the baked goodies like the cupcakes to the cafe. My daughter was surprised when she got kicked out because she works at Chick-fil-A and was holding a Chick-fil-A bag of food when she entered the restaurant. That probably could have been handled a little better. This is the only reason I did not give it a five star rating.

Pros: everything is vegan , everything is made in house, everything is fresh

Cons: workers kicked out daughter with chick-fil-a, not enough baked goods

My favorite vegan meal anywhere

Sunflower Cafe food is just SO delicious. It's fresh and feels healthy, too. My favorite meal to order is the traditional BBQ (in a wrap) with a side of broccoli salad.
Other favorites include the smoky greens, quinoa bake, crab cakes & chocolate pudding dessert.
Tasty kombucha drinks, beers, natural sodas available.
Friendly staff, clean restaurant. Good portions. Rewards for frequent flyers, too!
I will always love you, Sunflower Cafe.😄

Pros: Fast, tasty, affordable, all-vegan, Friendly staff, Real dishes & flatware (no plastic waste)
