Unbelievably good

Probably the best vegan spin on classic creole recipes, and the bread pudding is out of the world!!! Also super affordable compared to other vegan spots in town

Speechless

This place is outstanding! I ordered the pick 4 with the cashew mac and then asked them to choose their favorite 3 other dishes. They chose the greens, dirty rice, and bbq cauliflower. At the register I added on a soursop ginger drink and an impulse bread pudding. Couldn’t finish it all, so I took it back to my hotel. Don’t miss this spot when you’re in New Orleans!

Pros: Made with love

Big bargain

The large salad we got was fresh (except for 1 grape) and tasty. The staff was very patient with all of our questions.
Per the staff, make sure to park on the Sweet Soulfood side of the lot.

Worth every positive review

Place is top notch. I walked here from the French Quarter. Took about 35 minutes. Was worth every step. They truly deserve all the positive reviews. Fantastic food! The "Pick 4" will probably feed me twice today but I wanted to try as much as I could. If they had a "Pick 12" I would have. 😂😂😂

Pros: All vegan, Not pretentious , Easy to park if you have to drive

Tastes like home cooking!

Great selection of constantly refilled and ready and served canteen style.
We had: mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, orange cauliflower (the winner), eggplant lasagne (runner up), jambalaya rice (underwhelming), sweet corn bread.

Pros: Filling portions, great taste.

Cons: Team can be friendlier.

Ate there 3 times in a week.

Visited NOLA for five days and ate there 3 times. Best food in New Orleans hands down. Also, get their ice cream. Out of this world. Would eat there weekly at least if they had a location near me.

Pros: Wide variety, Delicious food, Huge portions

Cons: They don’t have a location near me (yet).

So good for the soul

Who said American food was unhealthy and no veggies? This place is SO GOOD! Stopped here after a night in the French Quarter. HUGE portions, great flavours. A genuine experience for tourists like us of real flavours of the area.

Pros: 💯% vegan, Huge portions and full of flavour, Easy to find and on-site parking

I found vegan Heaven

Variety of options served cafeteria style so you can pick and choose what you’d like to try! I walked from City Park and bought about enough for 3 meals worth of food 😅 worth the trip and leftovers, this place is amazing!

Pros: fried veggies with dipping sauce, Southern food staples, Desserts!

A Must-Try in NOLA

The fried cauliflower and Mac n Cheese are amazing. Also try to Okra Gumbo. I would have eaten here every day if I could have. A great selection of Southern Soul Food classics

So so so good.

We ate here two days in a row, the menu changes daily. Cafeteria style service, the all vegan food is served hot, fresh and delicious. Lots of gf options, too. Very big portions, too.

Holy Mother of Soulfood!!!

Run, don’t walk. This is the most incredibly flavorful meal. We ordered a variety of dishes and each one outdid the next. Cornbread? Check. Mac N Cheese? Check. Greens? Check. Bread pudding? Check. And ice cream in amazing and decadent flavors? Check. Check. Check. My only disappointment was that ingot so full so quick, wanted to keep eating. This is a great local vegan spot to experience the cuisine of NOLA. Now excuse me while I go take a nap because my belly and my soul are full. They’re killin’ it here!!!!

Pros: Welcoming team, Flavor, All vegan

Cons: Wish I could eat more!!!!

Totally understand why this is top rated!

Oh my goodness, this meal will live rent free in my head forever! The orange cauliflower and Mac and cheese was so good! Genuinely gutted I couldn’t eat the whole thing. Really reasonably priced and the staff were lovely! If I only I lived closer!

Pure Love

Holy F&@k. Gumbo, cornbread dressing, collard greens, orange cauliflower and stuffed bell peppers. Legit AF. If I still lived here I’d be 250 pounds.

Y'all, the future is VEGAN! 🌿💪🏽

Just because we're vegan doesn't mean we don't love food, and NOLA is known for food that truly hits the spot! "Sweet Soulfood" is delicious and oh-so-satisfying! Large portions and quick service - friendly too! I love that they change out their menu daily, so you're always guaranteed something different. We went on a Thursday and had their Cashew Mac 'n' Cheese, Orange Cauliflower (fried and super crispy!), Stuffed Bell Peppers, Sweet Potato Casserole, Jambalaya, Okra Gumbo, and Corn Bread.

Authentic Louisiana food!

My goal was to eat authentic Louisiana food while visiting New Orleans, and it happened here. Sweet Soulfood is entirely vegan, and they offer many options available here. You order cafeteria-style, and although they were packed, the line moved fast. They are obviously used to crowds and know what they are doing. The portions are enormous; you can share the three or four-choice option. Sweet Soulfood is a great casual choice with authentic Louisiana food.

Pros: So many choices, Huge portions, Friendly staff
