    Burger bowl with black bean hummus
    Brooke s.

    Yummy!! So glad to finally try this healthy vegan restaurant. Staff were helpful in answering my questions about their different options. They have wraps, bowls, burgers, rotating specialties, sides, etc. I got the burger bowl & especially enjoyed the black bean hummus I added on! I also love the exterior of their building and the fact that they have a cute cat outside to welcome you as you enter! Would love to come again and try something else.

    Did not get a pic this time. I tried the southern bbq bowl with a mix of brown rice and quinoa. Hit the spot because I was craving some southern comfort food. I also tried the chocolate mousse. It had a kick of cayenne, a nice surprise. The service was quick; it was a bit after a lunch rush. And I got it to go as my pup was in the car.

    Vegan BBQ Sandwich
    Amayah E.

    Okay well that was one of the yummiest vegan barbecue sandwiches I have had. I also got the bacon ranch chicken wrap to go and it was so yummy! I would get that over and over again! Everything can be made gluten free, yes even the wraps! Which is very rare. Overall, this is a great place to go for a southern flared vegan restaurant that gives you that feel of Nashville. Also, their pad thai cold salad was so great!

    famous bbq bowl with side of garlic aioli (don't skip it)
    Elizabeth B.

    One of the best vegan/vegetarian/clean restaurants in the Nashville area - so grateful to live and work close by. My go to is the buffalo tempeh wrap and the famous bbq. Today I need warm, comforting, filling food and went with the famous bbq bowl over season potatoes, melted cashew queso, and a side of garlic aioli and it was absolutely perfection!! The service is consistently friendly and quick, you walk up to order and then are given your food on a tray. They have beautiful indoor and outdoor table space. While their private parking lot is tight, I've never had an issue getting a spot. Their desserts are also a big hit, didn't order any today! They did offer some free halloween candy. I appreciate their self-service items and to-go containers for ease packing leftovers.

    Mood: vegan eats! Very very filling & delicious. So fresh and obviously made in house. Really enjoyed the Asian slaw that came with both dishes. Hummus 10/10 Bar b que wrap 8/10 Bar b que bowl 8/10 Overall the place is quiet, clean, with top tier service. Such a hidden gem (to me) but located in a great area.

    Jalapeño Burger
    Greg P.

    This place is slightly hidden. parking in the back. This is my second time here and not the last. It will be a staple to come check and have when in Nashville. Everything here is vegan, and packed with flavor. Their burgers are some of the best I've ever had. The jalapeno burger is awesome! Its got a tiny kick to it but the flavor is great. The bbq beef is what they are famous for but it's not my favorite. The service is super quick and friendly. All the food is already prepared and they have cafeteria like set up. You walk up order and pay and pick the food up at the register. I would encourage to try everything on the menu. I don't think you can go wrong. I can tell you one thing, if this place was close to my house i wouldn't hesitate to go vegan.

    Roasted root wrap
    Lana B.

    100% recommend sunflower cafe. A variety of options- bowls, wraps, salads, tacos, nachos, phillies, veggie burger galor, and lots of sides options. I got the roasted roots wrap, it was super good. I also got the black bean hummus. Super refreshing lunch. They have beer, kombucha, and CBD drink options. Order cafeteria style. Indoor and outdoor seating with the cutest feline company on the porch. I will be making my way through this menu.

    Chickpea salad
    Chris A.

    This is a great spot to go for Vegan/Vegetarian. The food is very good and the staff are friendly. I myself am not vegan or vegetarian but I am completely open to eating it. Food is food :) To the meat eaters out there, go into these places with an open mind, I guarantee you will enjoy it. A good diet consists of "mostly plants" as I heard a doctor say once before. We as Americans eat too much meat I believe. Meat used to be a treat and a special thing. Saying that, yes I am a meat eater, and yes I probably eat too much meat. Now on to the review: I usually opt for their "you pick two" (Not sure if that's what it's called) but I get the soup option and a side. I don't get to eat out as often as I want but each time I have come here, it's always delicious and served with love.

    Sunflower's extensive menu
    Sloane L.

    A sister cafe to the (relatively) newer Sunflower Bakehouse in Donelson, this OG cafe remains a charming locale for delicious vegan eats. Set back on a side-street, this retrofit yellow house offers a wonderful assortment of salads, sammies, wraps, bowls, burgers and more. Guests order cafeteria style from friendly staff, then grab a table inside the quaint interior or outside on multiple decks. Ample parking and seating available - making it a great place for a casual meetup. The food is really delish - and so many choices. Only suggestion for improvement - consider investing in better AC. On a summer day in July with temperatures reaching 97°, the AC just couldn't keep up. But otherwise, definitely stop by anytime you're in Berry Hill for a great meal.

    Garlic burger Ceasar chickpea wrap Side potatoes and chocolate mousses
    Meki A.

    I haven't been here in like 4 or 5 years. I was super excited to because I use to come here all the time in the past. I was a bit disappointed bc the garlic burger didn't have the spicy aioli sauce it typically comes with and it just didn't taste the same. The potatoes were good, so was the chocolate mousse. My husband got the Caesar chik wrap and said it was very good. I would definitely try it again and try something else.

    Is it dog friendly?

    I was there the other day and saw a couple sitting outside with their dog.

    What's vegetarian on the menu?

    Everything is vegan on the menu. There are some gluten free items too. I've enjoyed their delicious food for years. Even my non vegan family enjoys coming here. They'll help you with food allergies too. Have a fun time!!

    Does anybody have a pad Thai copycat recipe? I live in Knoxville and constantly crave Sunflower's pad Thai!

    I love their Pad Thai!! I make a vegan Pad Thai and quick easy sauce I use is a Thai Almond sauce. I get mine from thrive market. It is so tasty! Check out this product on Thrive Market: https://thrivemarket.com/yais-thai-almond-sauce… Read more

    What are their veggie burgers made out of?

    I asked this weekend! I was told: purple sticky rice, sweet potato, beets, sunflower seeds, and sundried tomato paste.

The team was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to their menu and allergens. They walked me through the lentil walnut and cali burger and how to make those soy-free (remove the coconut cheese/queso). They also walked me through other options and were happy to do so, which can be rare. The Cali Burger had amazing spice and the sweet potato bun was soft and delicious. Fries and buffalo wings were on point! My non-vegan colleagues originally wanted to go elsewhere but ended up devouring their options as they couldn't say "no" when they tasted the food. Avo is a must try. Thank you for offering great vegan food and customer service. You have a lifer here!

I'd give it about a 7/10. The cauliflower wings were solid and pretty much what you'd expect, around a 7.5/10. Now the standouts... the blueberry cheesecake was a 10/10....so good, rich, and flavorful. The potatoes with queso at the bottom were also amazing, definitely a 9/10. I ordered an iced matcha latte, which I really enjoyed it's slightly on the sweeter side, but still a 9/10 for me. My son got the animal-style burger and absolutely loved it, he gave it a 10/10. On top of the food, the staff was really kind and the customer service was great. I even had the chance to meet the owner, who was incredibly sweet. Overall, I definitely recommend this spot if you're in Nashville. I'll be coming back every time I'm in the city.

The cooks were throwing down in that kitchen! Over a couple of days I tried a few things. SZECHUAN SALAD I got the Szechuan Salad with both kale and spinach. I added tempeh bacon and extra dressing on the side. (It didn't need the extra dressing though.) This salad is SO good! I had to force myself to put the fork down and not overeat. It's a large portion so you can share or save half for another day. (When doing this I recommend getting the dressings on the side to prevent soggy greens.) All of the ingredients tasted super fresh, and that Szechuan tofu was thoroughly marinated. Deliciousness! The tempeh (and at home avocado) that I added wasn't necessary but it sure was tasty. This salad is gluten free. SZECHUAN BRUSSELS I love me some roasted brussels sprouts so it was a must to try theirs. I added jalapeños and Hot Tempeh. I have no idea what Hot Tempeh is but I wanted to try it. Best decision ever. The dish itself is amazing. 10/10! The sprouts are saturated in the Szechuan sauce and spices, so every tender bite bursts with tantalizing flavors in your mouth. The Hot Tempeh is tempeh with a coating. It's quite delicious and it elevated an already soaring experience for me. The Szechuan Brussels dish is gluten free, but the Hot Tempeh is not (because of the breading). DUBAI CHOCOLATE CAKE Because I had to. It was NOT gluten free, but I risked it (I have a gluten sensitivity). They did have a gluten free chocolate cake and a gluten free brownie à la mode dish, but I needed that Dubai Chocolate. It was delicious. BLUEBERRY PANCAKES I ordered a single pancake, gluten free for $1 extra. So fluffy and buttery. You'd never guess it was gluten free or vegan. ROASTED POTATOES Excellent preparation and seasonings. MOCK TUNA MELT Gluten free when ordered as a bowl. It was served on a bed of spinach instead of bread. I omitted the cheese and tomatoes. It was very good and the chipotle sauce had a great kick. TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE Gluten free. Rich. Delicious. Everything I ate here exceeded my expectations. Graze is sure to be one of my go to spots for delicious food when I'm in Nashville.
