Awesome food! - Edit
We are so excited to have found this place. Couldn't decide on which item to try first so we went with the Beet burger, Meatball sandwich and the Barbeque sandwich. All were amazing. Will definitely be going back.

wow - Edit
Beautiful little gem at Coolidge Park in Chattanooga. We had a variety of awesome nibbles, including cashew cheese, tacos, stuffed sweet potatoes, garlicky kale, and possibly one of the best peanut butter fudge topped cupcakes in existence. We'll be back. Worth the drive for sure!

yum - Edit
I loved the vegan Mac and cheese and Thai stuffed sweet potato. I also had their raspberry mojito kombacha and it was delish. Pricy, limited seating, and limited hours, but the food is tasty.

great stuff. great location - Edit
Everything I've had here is good! Not always as plant based as you would like (lots of bread for ex) but still awesome! If you are in, get a doughnut for sure! Pricey but vegan food typically is

Consistently delicious - Edit
I have visited Cashew several times a year since it opened. I usually have a salad, carrot juice and a veggie burger. The quality of the food is consistently good and the service is prompt and friendly. Cashew is my favorite vegan restaurant in Chattanooga and I frequently go there with non-vegan friends who find that delicious vegan food is simply good food for all, whether vegan or carnivore.

Pillar of Chattanoogan vegan awesomeness - Edit
Even though Cashew is relatively new, it has already made itself one of the pillars of awesome vegan food in Chattanooga (the other being Sluggo's).
Read moreSluggo's is where you go to have great (but not great for you) diner food/comfort food. Cashew is where you go to have really tasty food that is healthy enough to power you through the day. Their food evokes the awesome flavors of dishes that are normally unhealthy (reubens, meatball subs, etc.), without being heavy or greasy.
Cashew is like the angel on your shoulder, to Sluggo's devil. The yin to Sluggo's yang. You need both to be balanced. So go early, go often.

Delicious Sloppy Joe - Edit
"I've wanted to change my diet and eat healthier for some time now with no success. With how delicious these vegan restaurants have been this is the only time I've ever felt like I could." -My Aunt commenting on my Bean Burger and her Lentil Quinoa Sloppy Joe. This was my Aunts 2nd experience with vegan food, her 1st was with Sluggo's the day before.

Excellent!! - Edit
I don't know what the person who posted the negative review was talking about - this place is clean and cute, the food is yummy and filling, and you can't ask for friendlier service. I visited for lunch on a cold Friday and needed to thaw out my fingers and toes, so I started with a hot cup of Tortilla Soup. It was absolutely delicious, just about the best I've ever had. For my meal, I had the Philly sandwich with a side of sweet potato and beet chips, and it was so good my mouth is watering right now just remembering it! Very flavorful and filling, served on a soft roll you could tell was freshly baked. To make a great experience even better, I treated myself to a doughnut for dessert - something I haven't enjoyed in quite awhile - and it literally melted in my mouth. (I'm actually glad I live an hour away or I'd be addicted to them!) To sum it all up, the folks at Cashew know how to blend flavors to create something special, and you don't have to worry aobut what's in your meal because they're vegan, too. The serving sizes are just right, and even though the price is a little more than you would pay at some corporate-owned chain restaurant, it's definitely worth it because you're getting much better quality food that's freshly prepared - you can taste the love in this food!! When I left, my taste buds were happy and my tummy was full. I will definitely be back!

Pleasant Surprise - Edit
We went by there for a little snack and ordered more than we could eat. The gluten free donuts are awesome, best I've ever eaten. The chili was good and the polenta stacks were beautifully presented and delicious. Very friendly service and nice location as well. It is worth checking

Totally satisfying! - Edit
I too wonder at the negative review... our group has been there twice and had an amazing experience both times! Each of our visits has included trying different items on the menu, and in search of oil free options have chosen to substitute the chips for side items. Everything that we've tried ( and I mean EVERYTHING) has been absolutely delicious. I must say that I have never been a fan of beets (an incredible understatement) but my friend ordered the special a veggie burger made with beets- and so raved over it that I tried a bite...WOW!!!! As much as I enjoyed my dish- I wished I had ordered the special! Please Please put that burger on your regular menu- It will still be "special" just on a consistent basis!!!
Read moreThe owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. I would really love to see what you could do with desserts that only use natural sweeteners.
Love Love Love Cashews!

Donuts! - Edit
When I saw that Cashew had vegan donuts I KNEW we had to stop by when we were driving through Chattanooga. I haven't had a donut since going vegan over a year ago and these did not disappoint! I had a lemon one, and a chocolate one and they were amazing! My husband got an oreo filled cookie and loved it. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town to get lunch! The woman behind the counter was very friendly and we were in and out fast!

Delicious, Healthy Vegan Food in Chattanooga! - Edit
Chattanooga is so lucky to now have two terrific vegan restaurants - first Sluggo's and now Cashew - right in Chattanooga's thriving North Shore district. If you are traveling down I-75 or I-24, Cashew offers a great break from the long interstate food desert on the way to Florida. And you once you taste the food and see Chattanooga's river front, you may decide to stay longer.
Read moreI couldn't disagree more with luvv's review on this site. Cashew's varied menu is delicious and healthy (low oil, so Drs. Barnard and Esselstyn would approve) with generous portions. My wife especially likes the Cashew Salad. The barbecue sandwich with baked onion rings was out of this world. The space is clean and bright with cool shiny metal tables - small but feels spacious. Very hip. Not like a "basement" at all. And if you don't like the space, weather permitting, get a to-go order and have a picnic on the river, right out the front door in Chattanooga's beautiful Coolidge Park.
I'm hoping Cashew will open for dinner soon. If you're in town be sure to check out Sluggo's too. Not many cities Chattanooga's size can claim two great vegan restaurants within a half mile of each other. I'm also hoping the Adventists will re-open Green Thumb or Country Life. It was another great option in the same area.
Pros: Delicious, low-oil vegan food, Cool space and staff, Located in Coolidge Park
Cons: Parking in Coolidge Park

Best Food In Chattanooga! - Edit
I couldn't wait for this place to open, and as soon as it did I've made sure to visit at least once a week. I try something new each time I go and I'm blown away every... single... time! In my travels I've visited several great vegan restaurants in cities large and small, all at the recommendation of HappyCow contributors. Only after my experience at Cashew was I compelled to finally register and write a review of my own. Exemplary service, tons of options, and accessible to everyone! Your mom will love it, your cousin will adore it, your kids will lick their plates, your carnivorous grandfather-in-law won't complain, and your hardcore vegan pal visiting from Portland will be forced to admit that Chattanooga has amazing food! Confirmed incredible: adzuki cheeseburger, 'haystack' nachos, sweet potato with candied walnuts, HUMMUS, tortilla soup, brownies, gluten free doughnuts, and the oreo baked inside of a chocolate chip cookie. Holy cow, the friggin oreo inside of a cookie... I know it's been done, but not like this! Do not pass up an opportunity to eat this great food and support the movement of animal free food in Chattanooga!
Read morePros: Plenty of raw options!, Even omni friends will love it!, Amazing desserts!
Cons: Only open for lunch (for now)

Awesome food! - Edit
Cashew is my new favorite lunch spot! I anticipated their opening with great expectations & they exceeded them! Their cashew cheese is delicious, unlike any other cashew cheese I have ever tried. So far everything I have tried has been very flavorful and delicious! It also doesn't hurt that they always have incredible desserts. The owner is very friendly as well. Great place!
Read morePros: Delicious food, Variety of desserts, By the park for picnics

I've been there too! They are the best!
