I'm so glad I stumbled on this spot while browsing UberEats! I ordered the Classic…read moreCheeseburger--it's a Beyond Burger, but the kitchen gives it this subtle, flavorful upgrade that leaves most of the uninspired vegan burgers I've had on my travels in the dust. It's easily my new go-to. Pro tip: Since I was ordering delivery, I called the restaurant directly right after placing it to ask if they'd leave the patty on the grill just a touch longer than usual. They were so sweet about it and executed it flawlessly. Also, can we talk about the coleslaw? I usually steer clear of restaurant slaw because so many places drown it in heavy, uninviting mayo. But Sunshine absolutely delivered. Their dressing is beautifully light and slightly sweet--honestly, it makes an amazing burger topping. So many vegan spots rely way too heavily on processed, hyper-engineered faux meats and cheeses. This place strikes such a lovely, authentic balance. You can get a genuinely vibrant, healthy bowl, or dive into comfort food classics like their mean vegan chicken sandwich--and I hear the sweet potato fries are a fantastic side, too. To top it all off, the female owners are absolute gems. Even over the phone, they treat everyone with this effortless, warm hospitality that makes you feel like an old friend. It's just great energy all around. Check them out!

Everything on the menu is packed with flavor and both satisfying and energizing at the same time. It's the perfect spot for a casual lunch when you want something that actually makes you feel good afterward. The Strawberry Mint Lemonade is absolute perfection. Refreshing, bright, and it hits the spot every time. The service is fast and friendly, and I've never had to wait, making it even easier to keep coming back. I also just discovered they offer cooking classes, which makes me love this place even more. Healthy, delicious, and full of life. Definitely a go-to.

If you think vegan food is boring... respectfully, you just haven't been to The Vegan Joint…read more Let's get into it. Food: I started with the appetizer wings -- sweet glaze with a little hint of heat -- and baby they did not come to play. That glaze had the perfect balance of sweet + subtle spice, and dipped in the vegan ranch? Chef's kiss. The texture was on point too. Not soggy. Not dry. Just right. Then I ordered the spring rolls (one of my go-to favorites here) and swapped the peanut sauce for the plum dipping sauce. Elite decision. The plum sauce adds that tangy-sweet vibe that makes you keep reaching back for "just one more bite." Fresh, light, and flavorful without feeling heavy. And what I really love? You can eat good and still feel good after. It's giving healthy but satisfying. They also have a variety of healthy drinks and desserts to choose from, so you're not just stuck with water and vibes. Whether you're trying to be mindful about what you eat or just want something delicious that happens to be plant-based, this is the spot. Service: Friendly, efficient, and quick. Ordering is easy whether you're dining in, grabbing pick-up, or getting it delivered. No stress, no attitude, just smooth service. Ambience: Casual, chill, and welcoming. Perfect for a cute solo lunch, casual dinner, or catching up with friends who are "trying to eat better" but still want flavor. Overall, this place proves vegan food can absolutely be healthy and delicious. You don't have to sacrifice taste to make better choices. I'll definitely keep this in rotation.

I ordered a plain pancake but to my surprise it was the berry powdered sugar pancake. I didn't send it back given my last experience. Plus, the waitress probably didn't hear me say plain pancake.

Overall, I like that a dish I enjoyed was consistent and the service improved this visit.

When I went to order at the counter, the staff said we could sit and they were serve us, which I wasn't expecting at all! I really appreciate they that have both the fast-casual order style and the sit down and enjoy style duality to this restaurant. I got the chai latte and a hummus bowl with falafel (though as I write this I can't remember if that was the actual menu name of the dish). It was delicious--the falafel was one of the best I've ever had taste wise, and a bit on the airy side instead of being super dense, which I appreciated. Sometimes falafel is too dang dry, and they really got it right. The hummus was phenomenal. I'm really such a sucker for a good, quality hummus and it was so creamy and the oil they topped it with was wonderful too. The veggies were fresh and the pita was such a star: it was thick and chewy and clearly freshly made. Immediate 5 star for the food. So glad I stopped by here and will definitely be back!

The ambiance is perfect and the smell from the kitchen catch you as you walk in. We ordered a lot of dishes and shared family style among the 6 of us since the food curation is so unique. Everything tasted outstanding! All starters and mains were perfectly prepared and the bext in flavor and quality. We had the braised short rib, yellowfin tuna ceviche, whipped ricotta, mussel toast, grilled octopus, bavette steak, rainbow trout, and lamb sirloin. I seriously felt like I was one of those judges on a Food Network show with every first taste as it was THAT GOOD! The wine and beer selection was fantastic. I had a glass of the Marcio Lopes - Laranja and a glass of the Mammoth Pilsner. Our server, George, was fantastic and he ensured that our glasses were full and explained the preparation of every item. Plus he grabbed a snap of us prior to the meal. Thanks George! This was a memorable outing and I can't wait to come back during lunch time before I leave town. I can't recommend ESMÉ enough.

I ordered the lamb briyani and chicken soup. The lamb was tender and the rice was fragrant with sweet raisins mixed in. It was served with onions and cucumber in a yogurt sauce that paired well. The chicken soup was quite rich and mild in flavor with softer noodles- good for contrast but I'm not sure I'd order it again. The lemon wedges were a great addition to both.

Overall, the food options are a bit limited compared to the other locations, and it is full service (instead of open buffet style). But the food -- always vegan and vegetarian -- is absolutely delicious and holds very well. You can get a solid meal at less than $15, and feel absolutely light and full of energy immediately after (there does not appear to be a set price for takeout -- food appears to go $6.50 per pound). I especially love the lentils (lentil anything!), paneer and the samosas. The mango lassi is also pretty good, albiet a bit watery. The space, with the restaurant downstairs and the shop upstairs, also works very well. There is some outdoor seating -- but good luck with parking. There is a tiny lot right out front, but be cautious of neighborhood parking, as parking enforcement is very active in the surrounding area.
