CLOSED: FiddleCakes

I was excited to try some vegan friendly places on our trip to Nashville. I ended up being disappointed here. They did have options, but the sandwich I got was pretty lackluster and something I could have easily made for myself. The latte I got was not very good either. The only highpoint was the brownie which was pretty good. The atmosphere was very quaint and cutesy though.

FiddleCakes has a few veg options on the menu. They can "vegan-ize" non-veg sandwiches with non-dairy cheese and vegenaise. They also have vegan baked goods to choose from. Most menu items are non-vegan, but between the regular veg options and veg substitutions they have more veg options than most restaurants in Nashville. Also, the staff if vegan-educated and can steer you away from non-vegan items. IMO, FiddleCakes is worth supporting as a vegan friendly restaurant.

I've been vegan for over two years and still have not found a brownie that was just how I like it. Most I've tried (including my own experimentations) are cakey and crumbly. The one from FiddleCakes was AMAZING and exactly how I like it. A little crispy/crusty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The portion was also extremely generous. I also tried the chocolate chip cookie and red velvet cupcakes. They didn't stand out as much as the brownies, but I can't complain because they were still delicious and vegan and very reasonably priced.

I did not try any of the lunch items or sit in the dining area, but it looked like a very pleasant place to eat.
