Come for the Food Stay for the Cats - Edit
Sunflower Cafe is a wonderful vegan restaurant with many healthy and delicious options, the service is quick, and the price is reasonable. There are two rescue cats who live on the patio.

Healthy and lots of variety - Edit
Not the kind of place I’d bring a close-minded omnivore, but awesome for vegans and allies. They have cafe cats outside, and lots of variety in terms of flavor profiles. Good vibes.

Cute and great restaurant! - Edit
This is a great restaraunt and 100% vegan. I am allergic to milk and eggs, and it’s an amazingly good restaraunt with a bunch of options. There is also a bunch of drink options. The root beer is very tasty.

Delicious n' Nutritious - Edit
Didn't know what to expect
Read morecoming in here but the vibes were great and all the food options sounded amazing. I opted for the ginger tahini tofu with quinoa and I was blown away. As someone who cooks WFPB at home, I appreciated the oil-free space and was so impressed with how tasty the food was. My family also thoroughly enjoyed their meal and didn't even notice it was oil free. The bowls are super filling and all-around a great experience I was not expecting driving through Nashville.

A staple - Edit
This place has it all: delicious hot counter with many many options, baked goods, beers, craft sodas, ice teas, snacks. And even two cats that roam the premises. The hot chicken potato bowl was absolute fire and made two portions for me. Wonderful crab cakes as well served with yummy slaw.

Vegan & oil-free gluten-free menu! - Edit
Been here multiple times when visiting Nashville. I dream about their no-bake oat, chocolate peanut butter bar! Ordered my main dishes from the oil-free menu: kale/collard greens, quinoa & lentil power bowl (bbq sauce on the side—too salty for me) and a mixed salad w/citrus dressing. Then splurged on the dessert and bought an extra one to take to my hotel for another day! Staff was so accommodating.
Read morePros: Oil-free menu, Gluten-free options , Wonderful staff
Cons: Too much salt in the dishes.

Delicious and filling vegan restaurant - Edit
Everything we've had here has been delicious and filling. Most of the time we stop here when in Nashville. Sunflower Cafe keeps us from trying other vegan restaurants because we like it so much. They have a variety of options including burgers, bowls, plates, sides, and some parfait-type desserts. Would highly recommend!
Read morePros: Cruelty-free, So many options, Delicious

Sunflower - Edit
Friendly staff and variable menu. Food was cafeteria style - already prepared before order. Atmosphere is small dining area but enough seating. Dining experience was good.

Delightful - Edit
Stopped here for to-go food while passing through town on a road trip, and it was so good that we came back by again on our way home! Lots of variety to choose from, delicious food and wonderful staff. They waited until we arrived to pick up our order to melt the cheese on our nachos so that it would still be hot and perfectly melty when we ate it. Overall a great experience.

Fully vegan, great spot - Edit
We are here twice during our one day trip to Nashville. The bakery is amazing. The desserts aren’t overly sweet and the variety is more than your basic cupcake. The meals are great too. So much variety and great portions.

Excellent - Edit
Driving through Nashville and wanted to choose a fully vegan restaurant:) They had so much to choose from. Had a burger with potato salad and Asian slaw. When I arrived to pick up my order, I saw they had a to go frig and saw dessert! You’ll be glad you stopped by to try their food out. Everything was great.

Wish I live closer! - Edit
First time here, just passing through and we loved this place! So many great things to choose from! Staff was very friendly and gave us samples! I had the Loaded Potato Bowl and Broccoli Salad, both amazing! My husband had the Hot Chik’n Bowl and Pad Thai Salad, both really good! Would definitely eat here again! (They even helped a stray cat by “adopting” it, caring for it and naming it Lentil 😊)
