Amazing hidden gem! 💎 - Edit
I’m so grateful that we decided to try Suncafe! I only wish I was able to try more dishes but you can only have so much during one visit. I loved the kale salad and my husband loved the BBQ Jackfruit tacos. Everything was great including the service.
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Healthy , Lots of options

Forgot the Chorizo! - Edit
Had the Dynamite Roll and it was probably the blandest roll ever. It just tasted like mushrooms with too much rice! (Obviously not a sushi type restaurant, so not something to order again)
Read moreThe Nachos were tasty once they brought us the chorizo they forgot to put on...
The "Worth price of admission" was the pumpkin cheesecake! Frickin delicious!
I will try the place again, was interested in trying one of the sandwiches.
Pros: Cheesecake , Nothing else on this trip
Cons: Dynamite Roll, Forgetting to put the chorizo on nachos, Dynamite roll

Delicious dessert - Edit
I tried the Mac and Cheese and the Blueberry Cheesecake. The Blueberry Cheesecake was delicious, it's a beautiful purple color with fresh blueberries layered in the middle. The Mac and Cheese was interesting, in terms of taste it was decent but the top baked layer was a bit hard and rubbery. I agree with many of the past reviews that certain items need more work. None of their raw entrees stood out to me enough considering how expensive they were, but I'd definitely come back here in the future to try out more menu items!

Amazing surprise - Edit
I didn't know what to expect before visiting SunCafe, but it blew my mind, everything was really good and in very good sized portions. Has many GF options (the bread on the ciabatta for the avo toast is GF) and the menu had plenty of good choices, I really want to return here to try more dishes. So all in all I totally recomment Sun Cafe.

Long Awaited - Edit
Got the omelet with mash 🥔. Tasted good though not sure which, left a pain in gut. Could had been the filter water. Never know about these things. Likely not to revisit. Heard about the rawness of Sun Cafe - thinking sunfoods. Find nothing creative about using beyond meat and violife on the menu with such high price points. A place for transitioning to the vegjungle. Has a patio country feel with ambience. Left tip, yet never got my coin change from purchase and no receipt.

Been going here for many years. Always creative, delicious dishes. Raw mushroom soup is terrific. Lettuce tacos are a treat. Sweet Kale Shake? Oh yeah. Everything is tasty and good. Best in the area. Plus they do cooking classes!

Voted BEST ambiance in the valley - Edit
Love this place. I've been coming to Sun Cafe since its beginning days as Sun Power Cafe in its tiny space down the street. Over the years it has grown to anew big space with beautiful outdoor sitting...as well as in door dinning room. The food is always good. Tip. Though always get the raw nachos with jicama. Update: their Reuben is excellent.
Read moreMarch22 update: get the March special.
May 22 update: special Thai Bowl Salad with Mandarin Oranges. It will soon be on the regular menu thumbs-up 👍.

Delicious Food, Great Ambiance - Edit
Sun Cafe is an LA classic. The outdoor area is cosy by day, and hip at night. Sitting around the fire is a treat. This time, I sat indoors, as it was chilly outside. The indoor area is rustic meets modern decor. I started off with a Caesar's salad. The salad is easily enough for two people. Wonderful flavors. The vegan lasagna is creamy and hearty and is a great entree choice if you are hungry. Attentive service, and an excellent waiting staff
Read moreUpdate: Had brunch at Sun Cafe. The omlette is the best I have had.

Not your standard comfort food - Edit
I read through a few reviews and would have to agree some menu items aren't great. That being said
Read moreBiscuits and Gravy! That menu item keeps me coming back. If you are looking for vegan junk food, don't stop here, (head over to Vegan Exchange on Sundays to get that fix) everything on the menu is geared towards the health conscious person. Read menu descriptions and ASK questions before ordering.
Pros: Biscuits and Gravy, Smoothies

Great patio, great food - Edit
I went with a group and tried several dishes. The mushroom truffle pizza was delicious, as well as their green juice. I would recommend the mashed potatoes, their beyond burger (it’s a mixed patti), and the tempeh in the melt sandwich is light and delicious.

Good...? - Edit
The prices are definitely too high for the food you get. I will say the NACHOS, mud pie, lettuce leaf tacos, and a few other items are worth it. But every time I try something new, I'm disappointed.
Read moreThe patio is beautiful. The staff is nice.
I'm still questioning the prices though ..is it the rent? Across the street is an entire homeless encampment. It's a very weird area. Parking is not fun.
If you are in the valley and need food, I'd go for it, but don't go out of your way for it.
Pros: 100% vegan & organic
Cons: Expensive

inconsistent, overpriced and not great vegan food and horrible parking. - Edit
I’ve eaten here over 8 times and it’s shockingly inconsistent and the food just isn’t great. Especially for the price. Not a big fan of the staff either especially when it comes to seating.

Cocktails and cakes - Edit
I love the food here, I’m vegan and I don’t have gluten, they have so many gluten free options. Also the ambient is great, and you can enjoy a cocktail and a piece of cake instead of having dinner. Su a great place to hang out with friends.

Great Dinner Date Location - Edit
The ambiance after sunset is dreamy. A good amount of RAW vegan selections, I do wish they warmed some of the dishes in a dehydrator. The food was obviously straight out the refrigerator, cold. I am vegan and my bf is RAW vegan, we were able to order him the lasagna and lettuce tacos. Desserts are amazing.

You should probably try it - Edit
I feel like I always have a pretty good experience here. My favorite items are the BBQ cauliflower, the margarita pizza, the Florentine & the shamrock shake. I’ve gotten more but those are my favorites! I’m pretty freaking cheap but I think the quality of this food is worth it. Look at photos before you order & you’ll know what you like!
Read morePros: V healthy options , The atmosphere is so peaceful , Staff is usually friendly!
Cons: Expensive (but good), Not much parking but there are meter spots
