Great for a quick bite

Everything has full labels and they are super knowledgeable when you ask anything. Mainly buffet style, really good for a quick light bite to eat.

Pros: Usually very quick

Cons: Not a lot of vegan and gluten free options

a favourite place to eat

The staff are very friendly. There is a great juice bar, salad bar and buffet. Plus a sandwich and burrito counter and fresh made pizza. Lots of vegan options. My favourite is a veganized "Tofu Parm" with Daiya cheese.

Good veggie deli selections

I haven't sit down to eat at Community Natural Foods, but they have some baked items/coffee, and good deli items to take home. The veggie paté stands out, as does the red pepper hummous and falafel balls.

not organic

I worked here- most things were from a can or came in frozen. Sure everyone likes the bland salty flavor of the soups and stir frys (notice the veggies are all nicely cut-uh hum... previously frozen) The only fresh ingredients are in the fresh salads, whether they're organic or not is questionable. I'd like to see some labels.

Great for a Restaurant in a Grocery Store!

You have to take Sunflower Cafe for what it is- a cafeteria inside a grocery store! That being said, the food is good and the price is better. A filling bowl of curried vegetables on rice can be had for $3.50, and there are plenty of other choices as well. Obviously a cafeteria inside a grocery store isn't the place to go for a fancy meal out, but if you're going shopping at Community Natural Foods anyways (and you should- it's great!), Sunflower Cafe is a great lunch choice.

Pros: Excellent value., Convenient - eat then shop!, Friendly atmosphere.

Cons: Menu could vary more from day to day.

Well ... I like it :)

I think the Sunflower cafe is great! It is not a restaurant feel though if that is what you are looking for you will not be happy here. It is a buffet style where your plate is weighed. I always find that the dishes compliment each other and they are always fresh. There is nothing like a big mountain of veggie delights with a warm samosa on top! Slightly expensive, but worth it.

Pros: excellent food, healthy cuisine

Cons: small, noisy
