Happy I finally got to try this place. I ordered the bbq jackfruit sandwich, garlicky kale and kombucha. My mom ordered the jackfruit nachos and iced chai and we ordered the kids macaroni & cheese. The jackfruit sandwich came with slaw it was delicious! The kale was great too. The jackfruit nachos were so good and the Mac & cheese was very tasty it also came with fruit. This was our first time trying jackfruit it was cooked perfectly. I couldn't tell it was not meat. Everything was delicious. Overall the service was great they were very nice and helpful/knowledgeable about the menu. We will definitely return!! read more

Amazing food with friendly service in a super cute part of town. I was visiting Chattanooga for work and didn't want to leave without first trying this place. I dropped in for a quick lunch and was very impressed. Their selection of desserts was amazing! I had the Buffalo Bowl and it was delicious. I ordered some takeout desserts to enjoy at home. I left feeling nourished and happy! read more

Cashew - Buffalo Bowl - YES! - Vegan Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I've been a vegan for about 8 years now, and rarely do I have the pleasure of experiencing such amazing food as I did here -- and that was during a pandemic, when they can't operate at their normal capacity. When I walked in, I was a little overwhelmed by all the options, but the counter lady patiently and politely described all the menu items, how they operate, and what she recommended. They are very careful to sanitize and whatnot right now, which inspires a lot of trust. Once you order, they will pack it in to-go boxes with utensil packs. Either eat outside or take it to go. I decided to order the jackfruit nachos, a Philly cheesesteak, and a slice of cookie dough cake. Usually I'd order a burger - more my style - but I've had both the impossible and the beyond several times before and figured if I'm at a vegan restaurant I may as well try something I can't normally find or make myself. The jackfruit nachos are EXCELLENT. So good. The cookie dough cake was also amazing. Not the biggest fan of the cheesesteak, but I think that's personal taste - haven't had one before and just didn't know what one was supposed to taste like. The "meat" in it wasn't my favorite. I had some mac and cheese as a side for the sandwich instead of chips, and it was okay; not too much flavor to it, but nice and creamy. The cookie dough cake was amazing. Highly recommend this place, and definitely try the jackfruit nachos. read more

This is a nice place to get cozy in, enjoy a homemade chai latte and peanut butter chocolate donut on a rainy afternoon. The staff were quick to take my order, knowledgeable when asked about ingredients, and part of the restaurant experience by asking each customer if they were enjoying their food and drink at each table. I'll be back with friends to share a meal sometime. The ambiance is natural as the food here. read more

What a terrific vegan restaurant. The sweet lady who helped us did a wonderful job! Everything on the menu is vegan. I had a cupcake for an appetizer! Delish! Then the meatball bowl. My husband had nachos which I tried. All the food is so good! They had donuts. They sell cheese there too. I got 2 kinds and a tshirt! Great place. read more

Yummy food and service. Simple and perfect ingredients make this vegan spot returnable.

Amazing vegan food!! We got the famous beet burger and the jackfruit tacos. The beet burger was a little dry but went well with the hot sauce. Jackfruit tacos were awesome and we loved it. Beware that they have to be consumed quickly, it becomes soggy very fast. Service was great too. read more

Charming place in a great location. The food is delicious. I've been here twice but I've had the Impossible Burger both times so I can't speak to anything else on the menu but I'm sure it's delicious! I did have a side of chili Mac today and it was also delicious with some shell noodles and vegan cheese in it. I may just have a huge bowl of chili next time I go, which will be soon. I did have dessert today and it was the best vegan cupcake (s'mores) I've ever had! I like the seating and decoration and I love the plants Seriously, even if you're a "meat eater" you should come try out Cashew. Everyone is bound to find something delicious to eat here. The only feedback I have is the two times I've been in the fried/fryer smell has been pretty strong. The first time it was so smokey we had to sit outside. It might be nice to have some better air filtration, if possible. If you are sensitive to the smell, there's always outdoor seating. read more

Will, you're awesome. I've been here many times and everyone's always helpful and friendly, but you were 5 star + + attentive and helpful all around to not just me, but the many filled tables around me. Kit, you are always really friendly and helpful, too. Always good to have a nice team that makes you feel wholesome and welcome. Food was delicious today as always. I've had so many delicious things in the past.. nachos, impossible and beyond burger, cupcakes and cookies, Chicken wrap and today some mac n cheese for the first time. All very good (and pleased to see they sell their vegan cheese to go- local win!). I've taken non vegans and vegans alike and always a good vibe and amazing feedback. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderful food, fresh & yummy! Delighted to be part of their 10 year anniversary celebration which was blessed with great weather and fun vendors. Staff, as always, is happy to make your experience comfortable every time. It's a relaxing atmosphere with both inside & outside seating. read more

Cashew - Pumpkin pie, Irish coffee & strawberry cupcake - Vegan Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

We only get so many meals when visiting a new place. I was very pleased to have used one of those meals at Cashew. We came with a meat eating friend from the area who proclaimed her promised return in the near future. Part of the beauty of cashew is it is making great vegetable forward dishes, that can be enjoyed by all independent of their usual diet, and are not using fake meat to win us over. The Mushroom and walnut balls came on a bed of perfectly prepared kale with a cashew and tomato sauce on top. While you would expect kale to be handled correctly in a vegan restaurant that is not always the case. At Cashew the kale was clearly massaged so I did not need to chew like a cow working their cud in order to swallow. The food was extremely well seasoned and did not use heavy amounts of salt or fat to creat bold flavor profiles. Desert is a must, Cashew pulls of some incredible textures joined by many innovated flavor combinations. Take you time choosing, get one with your meal, and a few to go. You will tank me. read more

If I could only choose one Chattanooga restaurant to eat at for the rest of my life it would be Cashew. Their menu is not expansive, but it's thoughtful, I never have to worry about what to order because their specials are always inspired, and everything on the menu is vegan. This food is made with care and consideration for complimentary flavors, and I feel like I've legit never been disappointed. I'm slightly embarrassed to say that we eat here at least 2x a week right now as we're moving and not yet settled. Thanks Cashew for being a fabulous go-to anytime. read more

Cashew - Nachos, Garden Salad and Plantains - Vegan Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Food is pretty delicious. Service is amazing. However, a simple burger with no cheese or special sauce or sides is pretty expensive here. The side that comes with the sandwiches is dry tortilla chips with no salsa. It's a very curious choice. Once you add cheese and a real side to the burger this place becomes expensive and unpleasant, which sucks because vegan options are already limited. Also, they are closed on Monday, which also sucks when there aren't many vegan restaurants in town. read more

So good. The food, atmosphere and services was wonderful. I recommend the sweet potato and the cheese dip. Yum yum yum read more

I wish I could give Cashew more than 5 stars! They truly deserve it!! We frequently make the 1.5 hour drive to visit so we can enjoy all the vegan goodies. Our favorites are the meatball bowl, garlicky kale, chili mac, both stuffed sweet potato options . . . and I can't forget to mention the cookies & donuts! read more

Fantastic service! Super patient for my friend and I as we explored their menu for the first time. Super attentive as well The food was absolutely delicious, especially the marinera sauce and the BBQ sauce. The meatball texture was nice and with the flavor of the sauce, it felt like a traditional meal. The jackfruit bbq was really good, but was definitely not the texture of bbq meat, but I was fine with it since I ate it with tortilla chips. The Cole slaw was super yummy and the cheese they put over it was really nice. As a person who eats meat 2-3x/day and animal products, this food was really good and showcased how many people can eat more sustainably. read more

Just awesome! Love this place! I've been here quite a few times and now it's time to review! A neat space and laid out quite nicely. A bit on the small side, but I've always managed to get seating. The staff are super friendly and efficient. Ah, the food! I've had just about everything on the menu and it's been great! I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but it's a goal to shoot for and this place helps. I'm particularly fond of the cheesesteak, Beyond burger and Impossible burger! Really love their chili too. It's worth your while to check out. Parking in this area is always an issue. I just park at the Publix down the street and walk. Anyway, be sure to check it out! read more

Fantastic find for vegans in Chattanooga. We got the jackfruit nachos, and the flavor was amazing. We also were excited to put together our own plate by choosing 3 sides. The chili Mac and Cheese was the best I've ever had! Must-stop for all vegans and non-vegans alike! read more

Great food. If you are looking for a vegan only restaurant, this one is great. I always love coming back here.

I'm not actually vegan and I LOVE going to Cashew. The food is so so SO wonderful. From the sandwiches and nachos and the plethora of desserts! I actually prefer their donuts to any donut on the planet! Those dreamy sorbets and creamy gelato! I never had a dull experience when ordering! It's not just ho hum vegetable salads and bland soy products. We're talking jackfruit bbq nachos piled sky high! Meatball subs with dripping cashew cheddar! Thai bowls with crisp veggies and light well seasoned sauces! I always try what's on special! These specials are chock full of fresh and ripe vegetables and fruits! If you don't give Cashew a try you will regret it! If you get the chance to try their coconut maple bacon donut....some ancient god has shined their light down on you. read more

Not only is the food delicious and the atmosphere inviting but Bailey went above and beyond for me when I needed a special order! My love's favorite dessert is coconut cream pie and making it gf/df was just not in the cards for me. When Cashew themselves couldn't accommodate, Bailey worked with a vegan bakery and made the arrangements so my love could have his favorite dessert on his 40th! I am so grateful and will be back to Cashew anytime I am in Chattanooga read more

The food was awesome!!!! Both dishes we ordered were tasty and very flavorful! The Jackfruit was the best I have had. It had a coleslaw that added a great twist to nachos. I will come here whenever I visit Chattanooga. read more

Unbelievably delicious vegan dishes. Excellent service. Will absolutely return when in Chattanooga.

Great atmosphere, friendly employees, and delicious food. Their desserts are amazing.

Just came from the wonderful Grateful community Thanksgiving even in Chattanooga. Vegan meals were provided by Cashew. Probably the best thanksgiving meal I've had since becoming a vegetarian 13 years ago. Thank you Cashew for your culinary expertise and your civic compassion. You're AMAZING!!! read more

Excellent service and good variety on the menu. I had the "chicken" salad wrap and upgraded my side to Mac and cheese (made with vegan cheese), and added a side cashew salad. Couldn't resist getting a biscoff cookie butter cupcake to go for dessert later. My friends had the vegan loaded nachos and the veggie platter (choose 4 sides). We all left satisfied and wanting to go back- alas, we were just visiting Chattanooga for a few days, but if we ever return, we'll be back! read more

Three visits in three days should be all you need to know to get yourself to Cashew! My daughter had eaten here several times when work brought her to town last year. So when she planned a getaway for us Cashew was on the top of her list. As we drove into town we went directly to the restaurant for lunch and took it to go eat in the adjacent park. We sampled three sides- Mac & cheez, cup of chili and a half a Thai sweet potato. Everything was so flavorful! The next day we went for dinner and each had their fish sandwich special which came with a side. I tried chili Mac which was a scoop of Mac & cheez doused in chili and my daughter had a half a southwestern sweet potato. Again a winner, the bun was perfectly moist and not some dry white roll. Third day before leaving town we stopped for lunch and had the special Banh Mi sandwich with corn chowder, yet another winner. We bought a pecan white chocolate blondie bar and a carrot cake cupcake for the road. Their desserts are just as delicious as their main menu items, so packed with flavor! I think the pecan bar was my favorite. They have a case of drinks and deli items to grab and go, even carry our Nashville local BeHive items! Very friendly and helpful staff made our visits even more enjoyable. Love Cashew! read more

Vegan lovers paradise! We had the jackfruit nachos, properly made without a bunch of dry spots. The cashew salad is to die for! Also with a side of chili Mac, oh yeah! Also had the meatball sub. It was okay. I wouldn't order it again. Best part though are the desserts! They have literally the best vegan, (and gluten free!) donuts I've ever had. I don't know how they do it (except they did leak a secret, they use chickpea flower and apple sauce in there..!) Service is friendly and vibe is right. Awesome! read more

A vegan place on the North Shore in downtown Chattanooga. So I guess that means no animal fats or anything like that right? It was a decent little place for someone that considers vegetables what food eats. While we were there for lunch, they did crowd up quickly. They also have a few local draft beers which I really appreciated. I am assuming that was vegan too, although I couldn't tell you the difference between a vegan beer and non-vegan beer if that is a thing. I got the Thai sweet potato with extra peanut sauce. Now, I would consider this meal as a side. However, it was really good. It literally tasted like peanut butter with better texture and cross with the carrots in it. And it was a big portion, I could not finish it. Now, I can see myself going here again or not. It's not really my thing, I love beef steak chicken and or fish. If it's the flesh of a creature, I'll give it a shot with enough hot sauce regardless of what it is. It's a lot healthier way to take care of the world around us and I like it for that. And I love the ideals that this type of food aspires to. So hopefully, I can find it in myself to frequent this place more because it's very affordable for what it offers and a very sustainable model for our world. read more

Cashew - Thai sweet potato with extra peanut sauce, carrots green onions... That's all I can remember. And a raspberry lime beer, 4.2%. - Vegan Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I am the furthest thing from vegan; a life long unrepentant carnivore. But sadly my wife has a severe cow milk allergy (if she even looks at cheese we reach for the epi pen) so Cashew is a great place for her because there's absolutely no worries of any contamination. The great news is I genuinely enjoy the food here. The secret is in the name, their cashew based cheese. Cheese is the downfall of all vegan food but this stuff is fantastic. I would rate their mac and cheese over 80% of the mac and cheeses out there. A few items like the meatball or cheesesteak sandwiches may not quite taste the way you expect them to but they are very good if you ignore that and enjoy them objectively. read more

Don't get hung up on this place place being vegan. The food is incredible and prices are very reasonable. I had the bbq jackfruit sandwich with a 1/2 Thai sweet potato and it was delicious. We originally said no to dessert but as I passed the display case I had to try something because it all looked so good. Went with the avocado bleach bean brownie (I know, doesn't sound great) and it was incredible. Truly the best brownie I've had in a long time. read more

So let me preface this with I am not a vegetarian, let alone a vegan. I love my steaks... However, this place fills a great niche in the community. They have a great selection and can explain what foods to eat if you are wanting protein without eating meat. The food tasted a bit strange to me, but it's because it is made without ANY animal products. So no butter (did I mention I live in the South where all food is made with butter?). It's not a place I would go to regularly because ai am not vegan, but it was a great experience, and they do have a wonderful salad! read more

I got the Beet Burger with a side of kale. The burger patty is kinda dry and the dressing of the kale is overpowering, I wish they had lighter dressing such as lemon squeeze... Even though the food is underwhelming, I received great service, my server was super nice, always refilled my water (I ran in the morning so I came in dehydrated), and the service was fast. There aren't many vegan only options in Chattanooga, so I'll still come back and try the jackfruit tacos. read more
