Superb restaurant for vegans, vegetarians and healthy eaters!

Mar 2022 • none

I have been wanting to try this place for some time and finally got a chance to try it today! It was wonderful! We will definitely be back. The menu is awesome with so many choices. The food was tasty and wholesome with great and interesting flavors. I had the grain bowl and loved every morsel. I loved the atmosphere and all the care the put into using repurposed and recycled materials throughout. I applaud their efforts to not use any single use plastics and the containers for leftovers were all recycled materials and no plastic or styrofoam.. I highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to go back.

Local treasure!

Feb 2020 • none

My friend and I really enjoy the food prepared by Cafe Manna, and stop by every few months. On recent visits, we were bothered by the restaurant's sound level, and had to strain to hear each other, which hampered our conversation. After our most recent visit, we left wondering if it was possible to order food for carry out. If so, that will be our plan for the next time; that way, we will be able to enjoy both the food AND each other's company.

Great food in Brookfield

Apr 2024 • solo

I love this place. It has delicious gourmet, fresh food that is also healthy. There are vegetarian and vegan options. They don’t have any meat, but it doesn’t really matter because the flavors are so amazing.

Delicious, fresh food

Excellent food and pleasant atmosphere - had a crab cake salad, felt nourished. Service is good - there, but not overly so, just helpful.

Peace Bowl Could Bring Peace To The World

Dec 2019 • none

Since my last review a few years ago, this place has gotten even better! More vegan options than before (thank you!) and new menu items that even my meat-eating friends thought were delicious. The Peace Bowl was wonderful, so much food in it I had to take half home. Very filling, super delicious, I loved every bite. Excellent service, friendly staff, pricing is now in line with other establishments, so I have nothing but good things to say about Cafe Manna, except I wish they had even more vegan things! And once again, I wished I lived closer. If everyone ate this dish, how could anybody fight over anything? Rampant world peace would ensue. That's all I have to say. :)

Thrilling interesting fun healthful GREAT food!

Sep 2019 • none

This place is amazing and interesting. Wide varieties of vegetarian cuisine in Brookfield, but I often cant remember which fancy suburb I am in. They have a small menu but grand variety and amazing programs. Sometimes cooking classes, seasonal meals such as Fathers Day, and pet friendly meals on the terrace in September. Everything i have tried has been delicious and healthy. But there are great soups too, and a “potasium” hot drink full of root veggies that was worth ordering several times. Desserts are excellent too!

Fresh and Healthy!

Sep 2019 • none

I came here last night with my boyfriend and two friends, one who is vegan. The options on the menu varied wildly. It was difficult to choose just one! We each got something different and all enjoyed our meals. I had the special Falafel wrap and added sweet potato wedges. Yum! We sat outside on the patio, and our waitress brought out a light for our umbrella once it got dark. Service was great and food was refreshing! I don't live a strictly vegetarian lifestyle but often reduce meat in my meals. I highly recommend this restaurant even for those who feel that vegetarian meals offer no flavor compared to those with meat. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!

Great option for vegan lunch

Jul 2019 • friends

Great vegan options, staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Had the portabella melt (not vegan) and was really good. Others in our group ordered the tu-no melt, one of the bowls, and one ordered the stuffed avacado skins. Everyone enjoyed lunch—even the members in our group that normally do not partake vegetarian options.

Vegetarian heaven

Jul 2019 • couples

Cafe Manna has delicious vegetarian cuisine with lots of different options. The starter homemade hummus is flavorful and a welcome complimentary addition to one’s meal. We had the special tofu wrap and cauliflower noodle dish. Both were delicious. Service was good and the staff friendly. We will definitely return

We've been eating here for years and have never been disappointed. The service is great and the food creative and tasty. They take allergies seriously and get to know their customers. Vegan, vegetarian and healthy. Best of all, YUMMY!

Blown Away!

Apr 2019 • couples

This cafe in Brookfield, WI impressed my hubby and I both. We have visited other vegetarian/vegan restaurants and have been impressed; however, we are talking a whole new level of pleased! Neither of us have ever been big fans of hummus but we devoured their cashew hummus and crackers that was brought to the table while we awaited our dinner. We ordered water and they brought their house made Citrus Water and it was delicious! We enjoyed an appetizer of Guacamole Potato Skins, then shared a bowl (huge serving) of Chili and the Pear and Gorgonzola Pizzette. We were stuffed and took home half of the Pizzette. We did share the Chef's Small Bite dessert, which was a gluten free cookie bar with dark chocolate chips/pieces laid on Raspberry sauce and garnished with a couple of raspberries and blueberries. The icing on the cake was it was very reasonably priced too!

Lovely variety

Mar 2019 • family

Great variety of menu items. The “crab cake” is tasty. David was very patient with us as we had a lot of questions and took a long time to order. The complementary hummus and crackers was good. The potato corn koma excellent. Limonade was good and yummy. Portobello burger also good. Anna the night manager was friendly and fun to chat with. A good night! We will be back!

Fresh Food for everyone

Mar 2019 • family

You don't have to be vegetarian, vegan, or only eat raw food to enjoy a delicious meal here. I stopped in on Friday with family (yes we recommend having a reservation) We were seated immediately. While service was a bit slow, we were still very well taken care of. The food was well described and presented. My dish had curry and chili peppers, since I like it a bit spicy. Three of us had enough food for leftovers which were just as good the next day. Our server was very busy, but always took the time to stop and ask if we had questions and thoroughly explain or describe dishes we were interested in. Give it a try.

Love the unusual food, freshness

Feb 2019 • friends

I've been here several times. I'm alway excited to come in again and have a delish meal. I just enjoy healthy, beautifuly plated food. Today - a shaved portabella mushroom sandwich, havarti cheese, and horseradish sauce! Oh my sooo good. And a nice choice of sides. Then dessert - pretty as a picture in a magazine. I tried two, with a friend of mine, both were just excellent! The food is always amazing.

Great vegan food

Jan 2019 • couples

Being vegan AND gluten free makes for a difficult situation in most restaurants, but not here. The menu is clearly marked (with gluten free, vegan, and raw designations), and there are lots of options that are BOTH vegan and gluten free. On top of this is that the food is really delicious! My husband, who doesn’t normally seek out vegan/vegetarian restaurants, was clearly impressed. We happened to be in the area a few days later and stopped in for another visit - that’s the real tell of how much we enjoyed it 😊. Dishes tried: Korean Glass Noodle Stir Fry, Peace Bowl, Spicy Cashew Cauliflower, “Raw” Cheesecake.
