Who'da thought that in the Beef State you could find such a good vegetarian restaurant? Sweet Melissa's makes meat an afterthought. Started with Buffalo cauliflower that had the crunch of the genuine article but a sweeter taste that meshed with buffalo sauce and gorgonzola dressing. Also, a terrific Greek salad with good falafel and dipping sauces. Mexican salad was also very good, but they could go lighter on the olives. Felt satisfied without being stuffed when we left. Very lively crowd for a Wednesday in July. Warm and attentive service as well. Who needs beef when veg will do? read more

I'm visiting my daughter from Colorado and she suggested we eat here for dinner. She had been here a couple of times before and liked it. We split the spinach salad. Absolutely delicious!!! I could have had just this for dinner. So yummy and satisfying. We also split the lentil meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Neither one of us are vegetarian but maybe I would be if I could cook delicious foods like this. It was so good and I never found myself asking "where's the beef?". My Bees Knees martini was delightful. My daughter previously ordered the ravioli and also really liked it. The restaurant was a bit noisy and staff was a bit slow to pick up dishes and deliver check, but I would return in a heartbeat. read more

I really had a hard time with this rating. I'm going to say this is a high 3 for me ultimately. I'm on vacation in Denver and decided to drive up on Memorial Day & was pleased to find a vegetarian/vegan place that was also open. So I ordered the vegan Ruben (with seitan), a side salad (with vegan Greek dressing), a Bloody Mary, a kimchi pancake, and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert (don't judge me!). I think I'd have been happy with just the Ruben, though. The Bloody Mary wasn't that great (just not great depth of flavor) and I didn't care for the kimchi pancake (I'd never had one before so maybe it was just me). The side salad was weird - I've never had a side salad with whole baby carrots & celery pieces (think the size you'd put peanut butter on), a lemon wedge, and whole slices of tomato, just not great? I also got the wrong dressing (I thought it was wrong but I'd already poured it on my salad). The chocolate cake wasn't anything spectacular but it was good (add raspberry sauce). So the Ruben - it was really really good. I chose seitan and vegan smoked provolone. Not sure why the dressing came on the side but there was plenty to spread on. Bread was toasted nicely, just an overall delicious sandwich. Service was alright, not super helpful when I had questions about menu suggestions or enforcement of the 2 hour parking but he (mostly) got the job done. Plenty of inside seating, some outside seating (if you don't mind the occasional train across the street), and a bar area. Would I come back here? For the Ruben - all day long - and to give some of the other desserts a try. read more

Stopped in here for a late lunch. Some of the items on their board were not available. All in all a good lunch but salad with whole everything not my style and the mushroom burger should just come with the mushrooms they are so tasty on their own they don't need the black beans added. The ginger lemonade was so good. Will try it again next time in town. read more

The services was slow and the food was blah. It's a dark and dingy. I am not sure why this place is so popular. We won't be going back.

What a delightful surprise in Laramie. Almost worth a trip there from FoCo just to eat the cauliflower teriyaki and key lime pie!

This was my first time to an all vegetarian restaurant and " wow we". That is a nod to Diners, Drive-ins &Dives followers. I had the Reuben, they used seitan as the meat substitute. And it was the best Reuben I have ever had. It is a must eat sandwich. The side I got was the three bean chili. Hearty and very tasty. Next time I am in Laramie I will be back. read more

Excellent flavor. Amazing service. Definitely try the nachos. You will be disappointed.

Yumm! Service was great! I greatly enjoyed the raspberry ravioli. Jump off 80 and venture into town. So glad I did and that we found Sweet Melissa's. read more

The food is pretty good and consistent, but the service isn't great. We have stopped here a few times on road trips to and from Denver, and sometimes the staff is nice and proactive, but most recently we were ignored for about an hour. Not sure if this is due to not being local or just bad distribution of service staff. I hope this improves. read more

Look, Laramie doesn't have the best food. If you are traveling here, my advice to you is to pick your restaurant on vibes alone - and the vibe here is winning. Super old building in the heart of downtown with large windows that face the train tracks. The owner is such a delight and obviously cares very much about the business. The food is okay for foodie standards but well above average for Laramie. Order the cauliflower wings with Buffalo sauce and smothered black bean burrito and you'll have a great time. read more

Driving across country with a friend with a severe dairy allergy. We pick larger towns to eat in so we have an option or two. We were so surprised to find a vegetarian/vegan option here in Laramie. As a meat and dairy eater, I was thoroughly satisfied and enjoyed the wonderful food immensely. I highly recommend the Tikka Masala. With cauliflower and chickpeas, it was a great option for eating healthy on the road. The wait staff was accommodating and friendly. Also, it is such cute establishment and we were lucky enough to be seated by the fireplace. read more

Poor service and food that tastes microwaved. Not the place I was hoping it to be at all. I do not understand why servers feel free to treat customers poorly but I'll pay once and never again. The food is horrible the service is angry. HARD PASS read more

Fantastic vegetarian & vegan restaurant, cool atmosphere, very fun and varied menu! The service was great as well.

I've been here a couple of times while passing through Wyoming from camping and I love stopping here on our way back! The service is beyond sublime and the food is delicious. Most recently I had the dolmas , the tofu and broccoli with coconut rice and the green chili Mac. Off the top the rice - while a bit dry and quite crunchy actually carried such a nice coconut flavor and if it were to be softer I would've just eaten it by the buckets. The tofu was crispy and the service was so filling. The dolmas were lemony and fresh. And the Mac hit the spot. As a vegetarian I normally feel underwhelmed with vegan Mac but this was flavorful and cheesy! Great work and I can't wait to stop by next time we're in town! read more

When my daughter first suggested we eat here a couple decades ago I was skeptical. A vegetarian restaurant in Laramie? I'm a confirmed omnivore, but we went and I loved to food, the people, and the place. Ever since then Sweet Melissa's is my first choice when in Laramie and want some outstanding food! read more

The restaurant is a mix of diner booths, tables and a bar area. I ordered an appetizer which is unusual for me because the kimchi pancake caught my eye and it's okay but I've had better at Korean restaurants. The vegetable stir fry with rice and tofu is very good as is the key lime pie. The service is very good. read more

This was my wife's pick for dinner and I being a carnivore was hesitant to go. I lost and we drove down to first street for dinner at Sweet Melissa's. We arrived at 6pm on a Wed evening and were promptly seated at a corner table by the front window. Their menu was three pages of apps and dishes all labeled with keys indicating contains eggs, dairy, honey etc. . I gravitated to the back page that listed specialties and found a couple ravioli dishes that piqued my interest. Asking our server for her opinion she pointed me to the ravioli with chipotle cream sauce and raspberry sauce. My wife copied me and ordered the same dish. We also ordered a small Greek salad to share as I am a sucker for feta cheese. For drinks I picked an Odell IPA off their chalkboard list while my wife got a glass of Malbec. Our ravioli dish was very tasty. The chipotle sauce was sneaky spicy but the raspberry sauce cooled it down a bit. The accompanying garlic bread could have toasted more but other than that no complaints. The Greek salad to start was fresh and yummy. The warm pita bread was a nice bonus. Service was attentive and great the entire time. I'm glad I let my wife talk me in to having dinner here. read more

This place never disappoints, even for non vegetarians. We had a nice lunch in the bar, had some crazy good black bean and potato tacos and the Jerk Ravioli. Every dish is So flavorful, you can't shut up about it. The cauliflower is good too. The effort is here, but it still feels casual. I ate so fast, I failed to take a photo. read more

I don't give out 5 unless a place is AWESOME! I was not convinced my fam of 4 would each find something to eat but I was 100% wrong! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Cute decor and clean. Amazing menu with so many options you will have a hard time deciding what to order. Artichoke dip appetizer. Steamy hot with just the right blend of artichoke and cheese. Wide array of veggies and also pita triangles. Entrees: all were very good. Jerk Ravioli - cheese ravioli with grilled pineapple and fried plantains in a spicy jerk sauce. Just the right amount of heat and quantity of sauce. Enchiladas - sturdy choice - homemade red sauce was quite good. Overall not super spicy. Vegetable stir fry with Thai peanut sauce - chose the coconut rice, very complimentary to the stir fry. A few more veggies would have been a bonus but it stood on its own. Cauliflower chickpea tikka masala - chose the coconut rice, overall very flavorful. Very large portion. read more

I am a frequent yelp reviewer. I travel a lot regularly eat out. I also live in Laramie. I have no idea how this place has a 4.7 star review. It is a trendy place and has outdoor seating a nice feature in Laramie. The food is decent not 4.0+ stars. I sat here for a good 20 minutes waiting for my drink to be filled we finally went and retrieved someone to serve us. This is typical here it's like they are too cool to worry about serving you. Overall the food is okay and the ambience is good but the service is subpar. Unless you need vegan type food there are many other better food and service options in Laramie. Way over rated. read more

We were seated and given menus shortly after arriving, but after that, we were completely ignored for about 30 minutes. During that time, other guests who arrived after us were served their food, while we hadn't even received water. When we finally got water, the server disappeared again for another 30 minutes before returning to take our order. The service was extremely slow and disappointing. On top of that the staff we had was rude and seemed annoyed after we ordered. read more

Amazing vegetarian food with a diverse menu and surprisingly "meaty" options. Our server was very attentive and she knew the menu very well--helped explain a lot! It was a little darker in the building than I would've liked, but the place was clean and nice otherwise! Went with a group and got to try a little bit of everything: Dolma - 4/5 Wings - 5/5 - You have to order these ... I liked the sweet sauce better than hot. Jerk ravioli - 3/5 - Everything on my plate was tasty, but it wasn't cohesive. Grilled cheese - 4/5 Bahn mi w/ portobello - 4/5 Tacos - 2/5 - Too much going on and not able to eat like a taco (ma used fork and knife)... THE DESSERTS WERE AMAZING Cherry crisp - 5/5 Fried banana bread - 5/5 read more

After driving many miles across Wyoming with no dining options, Laramie appeared on the horizon. I figured as a college town, we would have choices including some for a vegetarian. Had to convince hubby to go to an all vegetarian restaurant hoping he could find something to satisfy the carnivore in him. At a little before 6 pm on a Saturday, the place was packed with a short waiting list but we were told there was open seating in the bar area (which we didn't discover until we left that it was called The Front Street Bar). Had no trouble finding a table but it filled in quickly. Our server was attentive, even after a party of 10 hogged her attention. Wish we had gotten her name...Food? I had difficulty deciding between the Tika Masala, black bean burger, and the cauliflower wings. Our server told us they are known for their wings so decision made. Ordered half (bbq sauce) and half (Buffalo) with vegan ranch. Yummy and very filling! Hubby ordered the three bean chili and added cheese, sour cream, and onions and gave it a thumbs up, high praise from a meat chili lover. Food took a little longer to come out on the bar side but not unreasonable. Mostly a college crowd but saw a few families on the restaurant side. Interesting signs and pressed tin tiles created a fun atmosphere. read more

Good ambience good food and pretty good service. Laramie vibes are alive at Sweet Mel's.

Next drive to Utah I think I'll stop here to eat. This was a nice place. The lady who greeted me at the door was kind and she took our order to go. We had our dog Sweet Tea with us and we're driving to home sweet home. My black bean burger was deliciously topped with avocado, tomato, pickle, lettuce surrounding by a very soft bun. The side of sweet potatoes was yummy too. I can't believe I ate the whole thing!! But I just couldn't put it down. Oh and I had a bite of whatever my husband had and it was great too. Vegan food is so tasty and just full of flavor. They know how to cook appealing vegan food full of flavor. Your mouth will thank you. read more

Food was great and service was amazing. It was also cool that I could see the train passing by. The only issue I had was that they still served animal products.

Just wow! I found this place on Yelp while looking for a place for us to eat when in town. We have a few different allergies to contend with and this place did not disappoint in being able to accommodate us. I had the Pineapple burger and it was really good. It was an Impossible burger and was really tasty. The rest of the food was really good. Our server was great! We even ran into her at a coffee shop the next morning by chance. The atmosphere of the restaurant was busy but also easy going. Lots if great art decorated the walls. read more

Hands down the best food I've eaten during a road trip from Canada to Texas. I'm not a vegetarian and I ate there three times. Everything is amazing. Even the ice cream. Highly recommend.

I definitely get some raised eyebrows when I tell people my favorite vegan restaurant is in Wyoming. And if you think I don't make the hour long drive from Fort Collins to Laramie just for their cauliflower wings, you are dead wrong. Take your pick of anything on Sweet Melissa's menu, and you won't be disappointed. Falafel pita? Delicious. Portobello Bahn Mi? F'yeah! Fried banana bread? Yes please. Mojito? Why not! All delicious. The cauliflower wings are by far their shining menu item. Perfectly breaded, these flavorful little nuggets are served up either BBQ or Buffalo style with vegan ranch or bleu cheese on the side. And they'll blow your mind. Stop by Sweet Melissa's between climbs at Vedauwoo or make a stop on the drive from Fort Collins to Steamboat. Or get in your car and drive there just because it's a Thursday. Just don't do that on a Sunday because unfortunately they're closed that day. read more
