    Chicken Seitan
    Marquita J.

    My aunt who is vegetarian came to visit and I decided to take her here as I enjoyed my first experience at the restaurant. Upon arrival, we were instantly seated and waited on. Actually, the service was great all evening. We weren't rushed but we could always find our server. Inside the restaurant, it was peaceful. It wasn't extremely loud so my aunt and I could catch up and not have to scream. Plus, the restaurant was clean which is great of course. Now for the food! We were both satisfied with our food except for the Brussels sprouts. They should've been crispy but they were more soft and steamed. I took them home to grill some more. But other than that, all was great and would return!

    9-21-25 I had the review of my last visit (from 2023) sitting in draft. But since I visited today I've added more photos and the following review. Visited with a few friends to celebrate a birthday. We arrive promptly at 12 noon and was greeted by the host and quickly seated. Our server, Richard was amazing! He informed us of the specials of the day and he was excited about every single thing that he told us about including the two for one strawberry lemonade, drinks, and the steak special . We ordered 'Starters' and our 'Main Entree' together and the food was served promptly. Everything was delicious and we were full. Afterwards, Richard asked about desserts and we each ordered each cake so we could all taste everything. And of course in CSB fashion it was ALL delicious! I truly need to make this a "go to" spot more often! I do wish they'd add more options like vegan "soul food" on Sundays. I'll be back!

    What a great experience...celebrating one of my dearest friends birthday here was such a treat. She is a vegetarian, and when we go out for dinner she's always so sweet and accommodating to the rest of us and finds things on any menu that work for her vegetarian diet. So we picked this spot just for her, so many amazingly delicious choices....i never missed a morsel of meat. We started with appetizers and wine..and it was a great indicator of what was to come. Avacado Spring Rolls, Crispy Brussels Sprouts and we shared a Harvest Salad- that thyme vinaigrette dressing is delicious... for entree we had - and shared (between the 3 of us) Orzo Eggplant Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo and the Sunflower Loaf (impossible meat loaf) everything was spot on flavor wise and presented beautifully. I can't say enough about my experience here - a vegan restaurant that's been around Atlanta for over 30 years is hitting the mark - I will go back ..oh and there was dessert too ...Strawberry Shortcake and Chocolate Ganache Raspberry cake... all served in a very relaxed atmosphere. Why then did I just give 4 stars ...at times we waited longer than we had hoped for service, refills etc...it was clear on this night they could have used at least another 1 or 2 servers... but an amazingly delicious meal and kind, gracious, knowledgeable staff.

    The star of the show were the Brussels spirits, "chick-n" Parmesan, and the old fashioned chocolate cake. The Brussels sprouts are crispy, sweet, with a hint of spicy. The perfect combination. The chick-n Parmesan is a perfectly balanced dish, the favors are harmonious. Absolutely delicious...we order the dish again for pick up the next day. Tasted just as great as when you're sitting down in the restaurant. Let's get into this old fashion chocolate cake.... Somebody grandma made this cake.....dangerous delicious. I think about the girl cake everyday.

    I've driven past this restaurant many times and finally decided to place a to-go order. After my experience, I'll definitely be returning to dine in--the atmosphere is incredibly calming, with soft, dim lighting that creates a relaxing ambiance. For my order, I chose the Fettuccine Alfredo with Soy Chicken and Steamed Pot Stickers. The fettuccine had a rich, creamy sauce that surprised me--it was made from cashews! I've tried making a similar sauce at home, but it didn't turn out nearly as well. The portion was generous, lasting me three meals over two days. Next time, I'll skip the soy chicken--it was an extra $8, but the portion was small and not the most flavorful. The pot stickers, on the other hand, were delicious. They felt heartier than traditional ones, packed with vegetables, and a healthier option overall. The menu offers a great variety, from burgers and fries to even a Vegan Steak--which has me curious! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the mood for flavorful, meatless options.

    Had a great meal here. We arrived at opening and there were people waiting to get in. Good sign! We were seated promptly and ordered the fried avocado taco starter, prepared gluten free. For mains we ordered the Nourishing Bowl and Fettuccini Alfredo as our mains, and they were delicious! Also got a Green Juice. The service was prompt, efficient and friendly. The interior decor was welcoming and decorated tastefully for Christmas. Will definitely visit again when we are in town. The tacos were the star of the meal, for sure.

    I've been a loyal customer of Cafe Sunflower for many years, but today was quite disappointing. Although I was seated before at least two other tables, I waited several minutes for my waitress, who was polite. As time passed, I noticed other tables receiving the same appetizer I had ordered. When I mentioned it to her, she explained that she intended for it to arrive after my meal. However, even after 20 minutes, when it still didn't arrive, she attributed the delay to a new chef. This experience might mark the end of an era for me.

    Fried avocado tacos, spin dip
    Zach S.

    Awesome food in a really nice setting with good service. I'm used to NYC vegan prices, and these were about 20% less (especially for alcohol) so that made me happy. Fried avocado tacos were great (wish there was an option to add a 4th so that two people could split it evenly). Spinach artichoke dip was the best vegan version I've ever had, and the meatloaf was good. Shoutout to the fantastic sauce on that dish. Good service, too. We were very happy with this restaurant. Just one note: when Googling to see if they were open, Google said there were no tables available. We called, and she said there were. The restaurant was almost empty, so don't trust the Goog.

    Pesto pasta with garlic bread
    Sarah H.

    Visited on a Wednesday evening to celebrate my sister's birthday. This is a small but cute café with a good amount of seating. Towards the back is a bar with wine, beer, fresh juices, and a few other beverage options but there is no bar seating. I was able to be seated while I waited for the rest of the party. I ordered the brussel sprouts and a glass of pinot noir. Those brussel sprouts were delicious with a nice crunch even though there was a sauce on them. The rest of the party slowly trickled in and ordered more appetizers. We had more brussel sprouts, dumplings, spinach and artichoke dip, spring rolls, and polpette. Dumplings were ok. Spinach and artichoke was good but we didn't care for the chips. I didn't try the spring rolls but there were no complaints from those that did. I didn't eat the meatballs from the polpette but that marinara sauce was delicious. I ordered the pesto pasta as my entree. The pasta was good but was a bit acidic which I assume was due to the artichoke and/or capers. I got a to go box and added some pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder when I reheated which helped the taste. I also got the carrot cake to go and that was really good. Overall this was a great experience and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the food. Can't wait to go back.

    Curry bowl

    The ambiance is beautiful and the food is tasty. I ordered the curry bowl, which was a nice portion and just enough spice for me. I also ordered the chocolate moose cake. It was okay. It had an after taste and missing the raspberry drizzle that they described. Overall, the food was good!

    Crispy Brussels Sprouts
    Greg W.

    It's been a while since my wife and I went to Sunflower Cafe since it's a bit of drive but we are so glad we'd did. The menu had a good variety and the food was excellent. We started with brussel sprouts to share. I had the sesame soy chicken and my wife the nourishing bowl. We almost didn't finish the brussel sprouts so we could save space for the entree, but we couldn't stop. My sesame chicken was an also battered and similar to the brussel sprouts, but still delicious. Next time I'll think that through and order something else like the meat loaf. We finished with a slice of the chocolate mouse cake. We've done that for years and still love it! Love this restaurant and looking forward to the next time! Highly recommend it.

    Does the menu have just vegan options, or is it vegetarian and vegan?

    The menu is all plant based (vegan). Don't let that stop you from trying it! The meatloaf and mashed potatoes would please any omnivore.

    Is it kid friendly for a family birthday dinner?

    Yes. I had a luncheon with 10 people. Lots of space

    Is there beer or alcohol?

    They have craft beers and wine. I'm not sure if they offer anything else.:-D

My girlfriend, her son, and I requested a booth. The hostess told us the wait time would be 20 minutes. Over 45 minutes had passed and we were still waiting for the booth. Another party had several minutes after us and they were immediately seated in a booth. Management admitted they unintentionally seated the other party first and they apologized. To compensate for this mistake, the server still honored the Happy Hour menu; our wait was so long that Happy Hour had just ended. We initially ordered an appetizer that was not eligible for the Happy Hour rate, so we changed our order to fried calamari (not pictured). The server originally still attempted to serve our first appetizer after we mentioned that we wanted the calamari. After this correction was made, the fried calamari was excellent. It was crunchy on the outside while chewy on the inside. The roasted jalapeño tartar sauce and spicy tomato sauces were perfect sides to the dish. As soon as the meal arrived, it was a decent finish to a rocky start. The steak was cooked medium, but still had a fair amount of pink. The cut was tender and juicy. I especially enjoyed the dipping sauce because of its bourbon flavor; I highly recommend requesting a second cup because the sauce also paired well with the mashed potatoes and broccoli. While my experience with the main course was spot on, there was a tweak with my girlfriend's son. He ordered truffle fries as part of his side dish, but it arrived several minutes after everything had already been served. He barely ate any, but he requested a doggy bag. Overall, the experience started off on a negative note with a few bumps along the way, but I was highly pleased with the meal and appetizer itself. If I ever visit this particular establishment again, I most likely will order my meal for takeout. #yardhouse #yardhouseatlanta #20ounceribeye

I had about 30 minutes for lunch and I decided to stop here. This was my first time coming here. Original ChopShop is at the end of one of two rows of business buildings in a shopping center. During lunch time on a weekday when I visited, parking spaces were hard to come by because there are many popular places to eat here. The order counter is just a few steps in front the entrance. Large menus are display are above the counter. Lots of natural light streamed through the large windows in the front of the store, and the side and ceiling of the large indoor dining area feature glass windows, making it feel like you're dining outdoors without experiencing the elements or insects. However, there is an outdoor patio if you actually do want to experience the elements and insects. The dining room was very clean. I got to Original ChopShop at around ten minutes past noon. Surprisingly, there were only about 15 people, although the restaurant can seat a whole lot more customers than that. In spite of not having that many customers, it still took 20 minutes for my order to be delivered to my table. I had ordered a grilled steak sandwich on multi-grain bread. The sandwich included grilled sirloin, caramelized onion, fontina, arugula, apple, mushroom, horseradish creme, and soy sesame sauce. The presentation was nice, but I thought the flavors were just awful, with the main flavor being "burnt." The grilled sirloin was tender, but its flavor was ruined by the caramelized onions and/or the mushroom. I was also expecting the bits of steak to be hot, but it wasn't. Something tasted really off. I had only taken one bite and that was enough. I did eat the pickle, which tasted great! I really had to leave to get to work, anyway. This was not a good experience.
