Awesome Vegan Food - Edit
I’ve been to Great Full Gardens a couple times now, and never once have I been disappointed. My favorite menu items are The Neatball Sub, the BBQ Jackfruit Sando, and their Great Full Black Bean Burger. Their menu is expansive, and their house made cashew cheese melted over a hot sando is a MUST-TRY. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming, their customer service is wonderful. This place can get pretty busy, pretty quickly, mostly in the evenings and on weekends. Sometimes there can be a pretty hefty wait time but it’s completely worth it. The food is delicious and the menu is very explanatory, labeling what items are vegan. The staff are also very helpful in explaining what can/cannot be made vegan, and offering their suggestions on ordering. Overall, Great Full Gardens is wonderful. Their desserts are delicious, the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie a la mode and raw desserts are great. The interior is very comfy and features a lot of super cool art. If you’re ever in Reno, this place is a must try!
Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Nice vibe
Cons: Potentially long wait

The best - Edit
All around, Great Full Gardens is amazing! The staff is super friendly and the food is fantastic!! I would give it five stars if I was allowed to. Since it’s not full vegan/ vegetarian, four stars is the limit.

Raw vegan desserts - Edit
Lovely place in Midtown Reno. Staff are very nice and helpful with recommendations. Raw vegan desserts was for me the highlight of the afternoon :) I highly recommend to give them a try.

Super creative and delicious meals await at this delicious oasis in Reno! Try the mushroom boomers as an appetizer and then the jackfruit tacos and bean burger and then… Coconut mango cheesecake! All vegan, all delicious, all you need!

Timing is Everything - Edit
Come in when they're not busy and service is fast and personable. Come in when they're busy and servers are short with you and food takes upwards of 45 minutes to come out. Meatball sub and grilled cheese are good, so are the soups. Serving sizes are generous on the sandwiches. No traditional soda? Don't like that. Decor is nice and the place is always clean. Long lines for the bathroom when they're busy because its a single serve.
Pros: To go orders + pick up orders, Local ingredients, Flavorful food
Cons: Fills up fast, Slow service at times, Dinner menu overpriced

My Favorite - Edit
Truly is my favorite. The raw vegan desserts, especially. The best part is that they have organic and local sourced non-veg items for those family members who just still don' t get it.
Pros: Menu, Price, Desserts
Cons: Can be loud, Virginia St location closed on Sunday

Delicious Breakfast! - Edit
We stopped here on route from WY to the Bay Area to fuel up. After snacks and junk food this was exactly what we needed to feel good. A couple vegan breakfast options. I got the Julie bowl and it was delicious!!! I am more of a lunch person so it was a perfect fit. The turmeric latte was so soothing. The service was really friendly. If we lived in Reno we would eat here all the time!!
Pros: Vegan options, Healthy and hearty

Great food, open late! - Edit
While visiting Reno I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant. First of all, it was nice they were open at 8p. They were crowded but the wait was minimal. The server was very nice and explained options, and even though they were busy he didn't appear rushed or flustered. The food was wonderful, I had the vegan tacos and they were great, and the beans were absolutely wonderful. I am not a rice fan in general, but it was very good. My husband had the vegetable minestrone soup and sandwich. Both of us were very satisfied. If we hadn't been traveling we would have taken dessert to go. The only negative was squeezing thru the tables to get in and out. They could use a lot more space for more diners. I can't wait to go back next time we are in Reno. I definitely recommend them.
Pros: Excellent Food, Many food options, Very helpful, friendly staff
Cons: Crowded, too many tables, In Reno, 400 miles away

So greatful for Great Full Gardens - Edit
Saw this cafe go from newly opened to so busy I never go at noon. I eat here more than once every spring when I spend a week along the river walk in Reno. Incredibly delicious vegan soups, salads, wraps, sandwiches and more for lunch which I frequent. Prices are reasonable. And the waitstaff is always friendly and helpful. I love everything I've eaten here. The soups change every day. Sandwiches are filled generously with whatever ingredients are in the one ordered. A cup of soup and a sandwich and I'm full and happy!
Pros: Incredibly delicious, Clean and good light, Friendly staff and owners
Cons: NONE

AMAZING OWNERS, AMAZING FOOD - Edit
This has become our favorite restaurant in Reno. The people running the restaurant--Gino, Julie, and Cindy are warm, effusive, embracing and positive. They make the experience one of love and positive energy. The food is fantastic. The vegan bruschetta is delicious. The vegan coleslaw is the best I have ever had. They have a white chocolate, vegan raw cake that is truly outstanding. The prices are reasonable and to make things even better, they have a rewards program whereby you get a 10 dollar reward for joining, a 10 dollar birthday reward, a 5 dollar anniversary, and then for each 100 dollars, a 10 dollar reward. As a vegan, I have been thrilled with the food. Also, if you have vegetarian or omnivore friends or family, they will be satisfied as well. Overall, a welcome and terrific addition to Reno and to our culinary experience.
Pros: Amazing food, Reasonable prices, Wonderful owners
Cons: Soy cappuccino not great

Excellent all around! - Edit
This is run by the same family that owns Pathways at UNR, one of my favorites! I have already eaten here twice in the week or two that they've been open, and the food tastes very fresh, the choices are excellent (whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free), and it's a very welcoming atmosphere and space. It's great to finally have a place that serves vegan breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have vegan desserts, including cupcakes from Batch Cupcakery, which is in the same strip mall. Definitely worth trying out!
Pros: great selection, very fresh, good value
