Great soup & salad bar!

Even the omni's we take here like Sweet Tomatoes! They've gotten much better about their vegan labeling. The selection of teas, iced and hot, is really good. Check the menu online and it will tell you what's on for that week. The coupons they put out are great! Family of 4, full buffet and drinks, for $25. With our budget, we go 2-3 times per month.

Pros: Everything is pretty clearly labelled , Great price for family dining w/ coupon

Cons: No vegan baked goods, YET

Pure nostalgia 🥗✨

They used to have these all over the country, but most closed after the 2020 bankruptcy. Some locations were called Souplantation, but they were basically the same thing. Eating here was pure nostalgia — I used to come weekly for years. It felt so special to experience it again. 🤍

A few differences since reopened

The vegan options are no longer labeled like they were under past management. We only know what’s vegan from remembering what we got before. The one vegan soup is labeled vegan and is the one always on the left end. The baked potatoes (white and sweet) are vegan. They no longer have vegan butter. The sourdough bread and pasta marinara are vegan. It’s labeled vegetarian but I asked and was told on two separate occasions that it’s vegan. The spiral colored pasta at the salad bar and the plain croutons (not the seasoned ones) are vegan. The cherry vinaigrette is vegan I was told. I get the fat free Italian dressing which is vegan. I make a pasta salad from the cold spiral colored pasta, fat free Italian, black olives, carrots and edamame.

Open again!

This place re-opened in April 2024. The food is just as good as it always was.

Pros: Good selection

Cons: Can be a long line to get in

Clearly labeled - great options

Sweet Tomatoes has gotten so much better with labeling their vegan items. Great selection at the salad bar, of course. The hot bar at my latest visit had some vegan bread, soup, baked potatoes / sweet potatoes (and they offer vegan butter!) My only complaint is I wish they had a wider variety of vegan salad dressings.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great food

Cons: A little pricey

Good choices especially seasonally

Buffet style restaurant. We enjoy the many options when building a salad. Often they have a vegan chili or soup as well, especially if you go for their seasonal choices such as lemon-summer, pumpkin-fall.

Pros: Always something for vegans to eat here

Cons: As usual they mostly cater to meat/cheese eaters a

Fresh Salad

We were delighted to find Sweet Tomatoes when in Tucson. A mile-long salad bar? Yes, please. Everything is clearly marked "vegetarian" or "vegan." Lots of variety. Too bad the baked goods aren't vegan, nor the desserts, but fruit is great for dessert! Everything was as fresh and can be. I've seen some reviews saying the salad was wilted. Some of the pre-made salads can get that way; they have dressing on them.
