Not so great for vegans, but great for vegetarians

Sweet Tomatoes is *amazing* for vegetarians, but really not worth the money if you're vegan. They have a rotating menu of items, so you could end up with nothing but a dressing-less salad and a dry baked potato if you go at the wrong time. Definitely check the menu online before going if you're vegan. Sometimes you can get lucky with a seasonal menu, but that's the exception, not the rule.

They'll usually have at least 1 vegetarian soup on the bar (I've seen as many as 3), but they only rarely have a vegan one. They have a yummy vegan chili, but they only have it a couple times a year. They usually only have 1 salad dressing that's vegan (and it's a vinaigrette, which I personally don't like).

Personally, I hope they'll add more vegan items in the future. But if you eat dairy/eggs, you'll be in heaven there!

Pros: lots of vegetarian options
Cons: not much vegan

We love taking our friends (all vegan) here for lunch. Freshest salad anywhere (take as many trips back to the salad bar as you would like) with Jicama, romaine, spinach, sunflower seeds, you name it, it's there. We eat around the eggs, cheese, etc. There is always at least one or two veggie options for soups, a sweet potato and white potato bar, delicious whole grain bread (you can buy a loaf to take home). There is also at least one veggie pasta (usually with cheese sauce of some kind) and pizza focaccia, garlic focaccia, and four kinds of muffins (or more.) We never leave hungry.

Pros: fresh food, healthy cuisine, friendly staff
Cons: can be noisy, tempting to eat too much
