A wonderful vegan cafe! - Edit
I'm so glad that I stopped here on a cross-country road trip for some food. I ordered ahead (no dine in) and had the Reuben sandwich and poutine. It was all very filling!
Read moreI have high standards for a vegan Reuben sandwich. I've tried many across America, but the rueben at Sweet Pea might just be the best I've had anywhere. It was a heaping sandwich, packed with flavor and color.
Poutine is not commonly found in the states, especially in the South, so I knew I had to try some. Wow! I always crave fries and this was a deliciously loaded side. I appreciated that the fries under the cheesy gravy were not soggy!
I loved the food so very much, but I do have a minor complaint about the ordering process. It might not even be their fault... As I was traveling, I strategically ordered ahead. The website said food would be ready to pick up in 40 minutes. Great! I timed just trip so that I would get there a few minutes early, just in case. Shockingly, I got a message 20 minutes later that my food was done 30 minutes early. When I picked up the food, the sandwich and poutine were already cold. I still enjoyed my meal, but maybe there's a way to fix the timing issue with orders? As a result, you might plan on showing up extra early if you order ahead.
Overall, I thought the food was amazing here and I'd love to come back sometime!
Pros: Excellent food, affordable, delicious
Cons: Ordering time

Yummy - Edit
I ordered the rancheros and my son ordered a burger. Both were SO good! They were “take out only” when we stopped. Not a fancy place but very good. The gurl who took our order was very friendly and helpful.

Nice place - Edit
Traveling through Florida and made a lunch stop here. Good choice too. Burger and fries were tasty and wife liked the Rubin sandwich too. Nice touch when employees were cleaning the tables they used a cleaner not just a dirty rag.

All vegan all good 😍 - Edit
Sooo sweet pea cafe... they are freaking awesome!!! It was one of the first vegan places I tried! I first tried the quesadilla! It’s bomb! But time personally I LOVE THEIR FALAFEL WRAP! And the buffalo tofu sandwich! Brownie points for the fact that they have such delightful deserts and EVERYTHING IS HOMEMADE IN HOUSE!! They are pet friendly too!! This is a spot everyone should try!

Sweet vegan cafe! - Edit
Meals are always good and the portions are large. There is a variety of baked goods as well. I wish they had air fries as the fries tend to be oily. Inside is small and basic, picnic tables out front.

Best tofu ever. - Edit
This place has mastered tofu. Idk how but they've done it. Every dish they have is amazing but I'm especially a fan of the buffalo tofu. Even your Omni friends are going to like this place! Not too expensive, and a decent amount of food. Highly recommend

Best burger in town? Their impossible burger! - Edit
Loved the impossible burger they offer. I have them make it into a salad since I didn’t want the bun it usually comes with. Was GREAT! Best burger I’ve ever had. (And my family used to be in the steakhouse business.)
Read morePros: Centrally located, Indoor and outdoor seating, Vegan options
Cons: Not the nicest looking place.

Awesome vegan food - Edit
Incredible food, simple but diverse menu. Very helpful and friendly staff. And the coffee is to die for! Full bellies and big smiles to be had at this establishment. Very close to the interstate and worth the trip!

Good food. - Edit
I had the Falawesome (falafel) and poutine. The falafel was great. The poutine was also tasty, but the fries were overcooked and kinda greasy. Overall, it was a great meal. The only reason I deducted a star was because the fries were overdone and the menu was somewhat limited. I also prefer it when restaurants make their own cheese rather than using store-bought (Daiya).
Read morePros: Good food. , All vegan.
Cons: Limited menu. , Use processed vegan cheese.

Glad I gave it a chance. - Edit
I almost let a couple of bad reviews change my decision to try this place out. I had the Buffalo Tofu Sandwich with the Ginger Carrots. I was very well made, the staff was friendly and it was served quickly. I will say the place could use an upgrade. I didn’t find it dirty, it just needs a remodel.

They’re trying - Edit
*Edit: Had to adjust the review (and I hate to give a vegan restaurant such a low score) after we ate the hummus — completely lacking in garlic/salt. Was essentially a chickpea-cumin spread.😒
Read moreWe stopped here on a roadtrip; very crowded and poorly equipped to deal with the volume of people so quite a long wait to order and to receive food. Food was decent overall, and an emphasis on local sourcing which is great. Would recommend against bringing friends or family that are impatient or new to vegan food/community.
Pros: Decent food, Local focus, They compost
Cons: Not very clean inside or on patio, Not equipped to deal with crowds

Okay food, less-okay atmosphere - Edit
We accidentally went here again because we didn't remember it as the cramped and messy place we'd said we wouldn't go back to. Food was decent. I had the BLT, but the "B" part was soft, which kind of defeats the point. It was otherwise tasty, though.
Read moreThe place is very tight and did not look clean. Tables weren't being wiped between parties. Customers bus themselves. Also, the bathrooms are outside, like at an old gas station, one with a broken lock and one where you need a code, not what I like for a dining experience. Neither the restrooms or the restaurant seemed to have heat, which was needed on the December day we stopped.
Pros: All vegan, Serves beer and mimosas, Patio seating
Cons: Dirty, Outdoor restrooms, Cramped and cold

So delicious!!!!! - Edit
I had the quesadilla and my boyfriend had the buffalo chicken. His dish was super spicy so if you are a craze for spicy that is def the dish for you. The quesadilla was pretty good. The desserts. O. M. G. The oatmeal pie was just like the original. Wish I lived close to here!

Perfection - Edit
Love giving this business my money when I'm too lazy to make food! Most of this is stuff you could make at home for cheaper, but it's delicious! Everything on the menu is a safe bet, but my favorite is the Reuben for sure! Indoor and outdoor seating is nice. Bring your omni friends here! (If you still have any)

This is such a friendly, relaxing place. I have fallen in love with the Ruben sandwich. Each time I visit, I tell myself I will try something else and work my way through the whole menu. I keep opting for the Ruben. :))
