I visited my daughter at FSU this past weekend. My daughter is a vegan, so I wanted to take her there so she could try it, since it received so many good reviews. We were not disappointed! I had the tempeh Reuben, which was amazing, and actually better than any corned beef Reuben I've ever had. My daughter had the... More

I moved to Tallahassee from out of state and I wasn't expecting there to be a really good vegetarian place here... but Sweet Pea is amazing! It's very reasonably priced, the food is really, really good (I've tried the tempeh rueban, tofu BLT, Hummus and veggies, sweet potato fries, and some of the beverages) and every time I've been, the...

My uncle and I were town for the Florida-Florida State game and I had to accommodate to my uncles vegan diet. We came across Sweet Pea Cafe after visiting a few sites, including TripAdvisor. I'm so happy we found this place - was phenomenal. I ordered the Falawesome with lemonade. The Falawesome came with hummus which was not impressive at... More

We are vegans so were delighted to try out Sweet Pea for Sunday brunch. Excellent choice with tasty food. Good variety wth limited choices. A few tables inside with a good number of tables outside. We had the Tofuevos Rancheros with beans, soy cheese, flavorful beans and grains and the Beans and Greens plate with delicious fried potato hash. The... More

Very polite gal at order. Visible menu. Tasty vegan with good hummus and fresh chopped tomato and some sort of flat tortilla with cheddar. Lots of celery and carrots. Very noisy in the inside area mostly due to kitchen noise & boom box. Outside OK at worn benches. Lots of college kids. View of cut rate meat market next door... More

They have a set menu of about 7 sandwiches and things all $5-$8. They offer several different sides and one comes with your order. It is very healthy, locally grown, organic, vegan food. It's a cute, tiny little place with a wonderful new awning for more covered outdoor eating space. They have a special of the day each day which... More

The Sweet Pea Cafe' is clearly a labor of love on the part, well executed by culinary artists who happen to be of the vegan persuasion (not that there's anything wrong with it). It is a great way to discover that vegan cooking can be absolutely delicious, visually appealing. These folks have put together a diverse and interesting menu, creating... More

I'm not a vegan, but I was surprised by the creative way the food was prepared and pleasantly surprised by the good taste....and it was was a good value (inexpensive). I had the Tempeh Reuben (sauteed tempeh, red sauerkraut, thousand island dressing on organic rye). Side order of spicy Asian carrot, ginger slaw...all for $8. Spouse had Black Bean Burger... More

Love this quaint little place. I'm not a vegan but would consider converting if all vegetarian cuisine was this good. The Watermelon lemonade was fresh and thirst quenching. The Tempeh Ruben was so tasty along with the sweet potato fries with the gravy topping. I have already recommended this place to any person looking for something yummy and local.
