The best food and the staff is so kind!! Everyone should try this place - vegan or not. Everything we ordered was excellent, especially the spinach and artichoke dip with homemade chips.

It was a cold and snowy day when I stopped into Sunshine Vegan Eats. But within minutes, I felt like I was at a cookout on a beautiful summer afternoon. I've been vegan for a few years, but I never would have thought to use fresh oyster mushrooms for fried "chicken." The texture and flavor work perfectly. Brilliant! The greens had that rich and smoky flavor with no need for pork. Stewed until meltingly tender. Excellent macaroni and cheese, too. And their jalapeno cornbread is right out of a dream. They went above and beyond with their banana pudding. The crumbled wafers were almost caramelized, and I think I even tasted a hint of nutmeg. Great music playing over the speakers, too. I heard some tunes that took me back at least 20 years and made the experience even more special. I'll definitely be back soon. Great job, everyone!

Finally made it here today with my partner and her sister after wanting to check it out for years (Buffalo native that moved away) and it lived up to the hype and then some! We got the spinach dip to start which was a super generous portion (and extra chips free of charge!!) & it was the best spinach dip I have ever had. For our mains we all shared the Snow Stinger, the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, and the Thai Chili Tofu Bowl & we truly could not pick a favourite as all were equally as delicious. Aside from the amazing food, the staff were so welcoming and kind to us the moment we walked through the door, and they went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We will absolutely be coming back next time we are back in town visiting family, and can confidently say this is the best vegan food in all of Buffalo!

My husband and our adult son and I visited Sunshine Vegan Eats for the first time today. Our son is vegan, and he was happy to know that everything on the menu is vegan. They have a wide selection of menu items. Someone else in the café had ordered the ribs, and they smelled wonderful. My husband is a shrimp and grits connoisseur, and even though he's not vegan, he said the vegan shrimp and grits were the best he'd ever had anywhere. He couldn't even tell that the shrimp were vegan. Our son had the mushroom-based fried chicken with mashed potatoes, collard greens, mac & cheese, and jalapeño cornbread – all vegan, all delicious – with banana pudding for dessert. I had pancakes, bacon, scrambled tofu, and a fruit smoothie. A lot of customers were coming and going, so clearly this is a popular spot. We enjoyed the food tremendously and will be back.

I ordered the vegan thanksgiving dinner and it is SOOOOOO good. I am currently eating it and thanking my lucky stars that the owners of this spot make good vegan food that leaves no lack of taste, texture, and flavor. All the flavors and all the comfort was packed into the meatloaf, mac&cheese, mashed potatoes, Sweet Yams, OMG, i haven't cracked open the peach cobbler but I know it will be stellar. The owners of this spot were welcoming and lively. So glad I found this place and in the nick of time to fill my belly with a thanksgiving dinner that fed my belly and my soul! <3

THE BEST OMG SO GOOD. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GOOD VEGAN FOOD IT IS THIS. So far I’ve only eaten the ribs and Mac and cheese but they are incredible! I’m not one of those people that craves meat but these I will crave until I get them again! And the Mac and cheese is the best I’ve ever had!!!

The food and service are absolutely fantastic. The owner and chef is a lovely woman inside and out. The fried chicken (mushrooms) is seasoned to perfection. The portions are hearty. This place is a 10. It's a small, down-home restaurant, so take-out might be necessary as seating is limited. I highly recommend this restaurant for everyone who loves food for the soul. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious. I would fly to Buffalo from my home across the US to eat at Sunshine Vegan if I could, every week. If you are in Buffalo, this restaurant is a must for everyone, whether vegan or non-vegan.

We had 1 side of pastelillo, Fastlane wrap (with fries), veggie stir-fry, egg rolls, and brussel sprouts. The egg rolls were crispy, hot and delicious and full size...it came with 4, which was alot. The sprouts were stunning. Crispy leaves outside, tender inside and the glaze was very tasty. Even without the glaze, out of this world. Fries were shoestring, crispy and hot. Stir fry was delicious, on a bed of rice. Fast lane wrap was unstoppable with that cilantro sauce, full of mushrooms. Pastelillo was very crunchy outside where it was folded and hot and tender on the inside....it reminded me of a Jamaican beef pie at Coney Island. There is no doubt you can taste the quality of food and kitchen skill, but also the care that is put in to the food.

So so happy to be able to finally try food I’ve never eaten before. The shrimp were delicious! Texture was very gummy but I’m not sure how real shrimp taste anyway. The special carrot tuna was probably my favorite. It was very well seasoned and the chips are homemade. The pastelito was delicious as was the cheesesteak (which I got in a wrap) . Great immitation food without directly copying the taste of the original. I can’t wait to go back and try more options! Only thing is I wish there was a nutritional menu that had the calorie count on it.

We came for lunch today and the food was delicious! We had a hard time choosing because there were so many options, accommodating gluten free as well. The food was cooked to order, and the wait time was worth it because everything was so fresh. The cranberry lemonade and cashew coffee were also delicious and complimented the meal well. Staff was so friendly and welcoming. We were looking for a dedicated vegan restaurant, as opposed to just vegan “options” and your restaurant definitely hit the mark. Bonus… when I mentioned it was my aunts birthday, you brought her out a special treat which really made her day! We will definitely be back! Sorry-we are it all before grabbing pictures!

Do yourself a favor and go here! Service was friendly, the food was brought out quickly, and it was so good! The staff were nice and appreciative of our compliments. Highly recommended it.

Visited from out of town and glad we did. I ordered the shrimp po boy, and the hubby ordered ribs. The service was kind and friendly. The food was great. Hubby said his mac was really good. He liked the rib, but not the sauce. He thought it tasted like ketchup. My po boy was amazing. It was stuffed with shrimp and the sauce was crazy good. The inside is small with just a few tables. The outside area was nice but there were too many bees and wasp so it was kind of uncomfortable. I imagine there may be a nest somewhere bc I noticed them flying into cracks and crevices. Overall, I will def return when I go to Buffalo.

Excellent vegan food with a great staff. We had wings, steak hoagie, and street tacos. All of the food was very good. I highly recommend Sunshine for great vegan food!

We found this spot to get buffalo wings as vegetarians on a road trip and we were blown away by absolutely everything we ate and drank! The ginger lemonade and the blu magic were both phenomenal and refreshing! The vegan wings had the perfect buffalo bite with a sugar cane "bone" that added authenticity without being too meaty. We were thrilled to see two delicious entrees that we have never seen before: vegan shrimp and grits and ribs. Phenomenal flavors and textures for both! My daughter was so excited by the Mac and cheese and yams as well! With an omnivore kid and two cheese obsessed vegetarians eating, I can tell you that I am so sorry I don't live closer because everything was perfect!

If you’re thinking about it, just do it. I was in town briefly visiting my in-laws and looking for a tasty vegan meal when I found this absolute gem! I’ve traveled all over the country and tried sooooo many delicious vegan restaurants and this place sits at the top when it comes to plant based comfort food. My goodness, we were blown away by the rich flavors and enormous portions. I have a 10 year old that is not very expressive about much in life and even she couldn’t stop raving about how amazing her brussel sprouts were. For reference: we tried the nachos 10/10 with a fun kick of spice 🔥… we shared the brussel sprouts and my kids rated these a 15/10 🤣 We also had the “wings, the “shrimp,” “fried chik’n (mushrooms”) and the big hit of the day… THE MEATLOAF! We contemplated bringing back an entire loaf to Texas but decided that maybe the 26hour drive home would not pair so well for transporting this delightful meal. So for now, all I can say is please go try their food. They are remarkable folks with a beautiful talent of making amazing vegan eats. I’ve literally never been more excited to visit Buffalo in 26 years… until now. 😳😅😍🤭🤤 Thank you to all the kind folks we met that day, you are amazing, we loved you, your welcoming smiles and conversation and your delicious food. We hope to see you again soon!

Such a lovely little place! If you’re veggie or vegan definitely try this restaurant! We loved the Buffalo wings, the plantains and the lettuce wrap. The service was amazing and the cook guided us through gluten free options of their menu! We really loved and are planning on coming back :)

No frills but a pleasant atmosphere with tables and chairs and the service counter similar to a Chinese takeout. The service was warm and friendly. I was on a special diet for the week (low carb and low methionine). The owner catered to my specifications and made a special stir fry greens with mushrooms, onions and other filler greens topped with her special green cilantro sauce. Wow! It was delicious! I wasn't supposed to have much of any processed impossible meat type products but I had to try the meatloaf which has a bit of it plus other green leafy filler. I couldn't have the normal side of corn bread so she gave me more sides of greens. Wow! It was so good! Hard to tell that there's no meat! Yum! Since I couldn't eat too much of the meatloaf because of my special diet dictated by my physician only for the week, I took it home to continue to have a bit for the next 2 days in divided portions. The other great reviews are correct about the food. I'll be back to try the sauteed lion's mane mushroom steak and other hearty veggy dishes.

Stopped by on our drive through town and were blown away by the experience. Hands down the most incredible vegan comfort food I’ve ever had! The ribs were great, but I especially loved the meatloaf, macaroni & cheese, and yams. The staff are amazing, and owner Nikki is such a joy! If you’re in Buffalo make this a priority visit!

Almost went into shocked when I first saw the menu here! There are so many delicious options- basically all the comfort food you could want. And it all tastes so good that it just melts in your mouth. The chicken and waffles was something I've been craving for like a year and I think this is my favorite vegan version I've tried! The bbq rib platter was just divine. It was so flavorful and filling with the sides of mac n cheez, baked beans and cornbread. Shrimp was great too! Honestly I have no doubt that everything on the menu is fantastic. This would be a great place to bring non veg friends to show them the potential of vegan food. Just make sure to save room for dessert! The peach cobbler and cookies were such a nice sweet treat. The restaurant owner is a super passionate and lovely woman who is always adding more to the menu. She has created a very welcoming, warm, friendly place that is very special. I only wish I lived closer.

This was my first visit to SVE. The menu was awesome. Lots of choices and full of dishes I would love to try and dishes I make at home. The salt level on the rolls and fries was a tad high. I was expecting the chicken tenders to be made from mushroom, but they were the veggie chicken which I do not enjoy at all. However, I covered them in hot sauce and dipped them in the veggie ranch was pretty good. The sandwich was good. My biggest issues were when I called, I was told there was a 30 minute wait. She put me on hold for 5 minutes, and then the phone hung up on me. Secondly, I ended up ordering via Uber Eats which gave me a 15 minute ready time. When I arrived almost 30 minutes later, I was given a 10 minute wait. The food wasn't ready for another 25 minutes. That's over an hour. I was not happy with that at all. I will give them one more opportunity, but if the play with my time again, I will not return.

Edit previous review with correction: I forgot to mention I purchased a $6 side of the carrot tuna. I still stand by my previous review of the portion size of the ribs. The food is good, but that was not generous side of ribs. This is the previous review: I was very disappointed with the portions for the $30 I paid. My entree portion of ribs don’t look like the pictures posted or what I use to get. I would get this portion when I ordered a side of ribs. My portions were small compared to pictures in these reviews. I was finally strong enough to drive over 30 minutes to get this and I’m disappointed to say the least. I truly enjoy this food for the most part. Not happy. My plate is the first picture and the second is from another review I screenshot. Look at my ribs and portions compared to someone else’s. I’m so mad right now. Small scoop of cabbage and the macaroni cheese. I’m upset and disappointed, because I drove in pain to get this and this is what I got. I just knew it would be enough to have some for tomorrow. Not happening. I’ve been craving this for well over a yr and a half. Wow

Well the area where the restaurant is , seemed to be fishy and weird. We ordered the meat loaf al-niyan . The meat loaf was good , but the al-niyan was salty and not good. It seemed to be a take away restaurant not suitable for dine in . We ordered mashed potatoes and green cholard as sides and both were good .
