A MUST if you are around the Nashville area

Hands down one of the best vegan restaurants we have been to. A diverse, delicious, and fairly priced menu, clean, nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. If you are in the area, you MUST stop by.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Food is delicious, Very fairly priced, you get a lot of food

Best waitress ever

My server the other night was very friendly even though it was take out only, very happy and helpful when I had questions about the meal. How ever the cook at the time, male, seemed to be very upset and angry that I asked to have my food cooked separated and then things added on the side, i heard him slurr multiple rude things and wish the owner would notice these things as he was standing right there, other then that the food was okay and the service was absolutely incredible. 10/10 service 5/10 food due to the cook being so rude and obligarent

Pros: Server, Time efficacy

Cons: Cook, Parking

Fresh clean and delicious

This was our most memorable meal in Nashville. May 14 2020 sat inside. We were the only ones there in the late afternoon during Covid season. I had a Tempe barbecue wrap and my husband had the traditional barbecue wrap and we ordered a kale salad, beans and rice and mashed sweet potatoes for additional sides. We purposely ordered way more than we could eat so we could have leftovers later… But it was hard to save any because it was so darn good. Super friendly service too!

Pros: Lots of gluten free options/substitutes, No crap in the food - clean & healthy

Great, full menu

The menu is diverse: warm and not, entrees and desserts. I had a quinoa bowl with black-eyed peas and collard greens. It was excellent. Every flavor bounced! There are multiple diet options and the staff is completely engaged in helping with your choices.
I liked the food being on display for ordering. Only problem was it all looked so delicious it was tough to pick just a few things to try. I over-ordered and enjoyed each choice. Great find!

Pros: Variety , High quality, Efficiency

Cons: Can’t think of any

Delicious Wraps

We had the barbeque tempeh wrap and sandwich. Both were delicious and the wrap was well constructed.

Pros: Vegan except on request you can add cheese

Crab cakes, get the crab cakes

Obviously the crab cakes aren’t made from crabs. Holy cow are they ever good. When you become a vegan you realize that so many of the things you like about food aren’t the protein source. This place totally nail the spices, texture and breaded crunch of the real thing. Every other dish I’ve had there is delicious but these cakes are a real standout. I also really like the cafeteria style of the restaurant with employees doling our your food for you from warming trays just like back in high school.

Didn’t live up to expectations

I’m visiting from out of town and was really excited to try this place out. Unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience for me. I ordered the garlic mushroom veggie burger on a whole wheat bun. I’d been planning on ordering a side before I got to the restaurant but nothing looked super appealing behind the counter when I was there. The bun for the burger was very soft and then when I went to pick up the burger the whole patty crumbled into pieces and fell into my lap staining my shorts! I’ve had lots of homemade veggie burgers so I’m aware the consistency can be tricky but this really disintegrated. I tried a few bites of the pieces that were left on my plate but it tasted overly salty and not fresh so I ended up throwing it all away. Love to see places offering vegan food but I guess I just got of on the wrong foot here.

Not great

Ordered take out- the Cole slaw was amazing but the tofu rice bowl was not good- the tofu was really mushy. I am hoping I just ordered wrong!

My favorite Nashville restaurant

I simply adore Sunflower Cafe. Everything on the menu is delicious, but I always come back to the protein bowl and the curried chickpea kale salad.

Pros: Amazing food with an all-vegan menu , Plenty of seating , Friendly staff

Cons: Parking lot is a bit small
