More of this

What a great place! We were passing through this beautiful town and found this hidden gem. Make sure you stop here for food when you come to town. The most friendly people making and serving healthy, tasty food!

Pros: Vegan options that are not science projects, Incredible people, Creative menu

Cons: Not close to my home, Too far from my home, Should I just move here so it’s closer to my home

Great food & variety of options!

After a long road trip this menu was super refreshing. The vibes inside & in the downtown area around the cafe were great, it was a nice way to see/experience Laramie. I got 2 orders of the kimchi pancake appetizer and it was amazing. I would highly recommend it!!

Pros: Variety, Good quality, Nice vibes

Great Food!

Yummy food we went back for the vegan black bean nachos. Make their own stellar cashew cheese.
Varied menu with vegan options for us, vegetarian fare also available.
Staff was warm & friendly.
Evenings there is a bar next door that was full of fun. We ate in that area the second day, had to go back!

The Best Vegan Food Around

I’ve eaten here a bunch but this time I got the falafel pita, roasted sweet potatoes, and the peanut butter pie. So many vegan and vegetarian options. Easily the best restaurant in Wyoming and it’s not even close.

Vegetarian Food in Wyoming 😮

Who knew a vegetarian restaurant in Wyoming existed? There is a great welcoming vibe inside and a tavern attached. More importantly, the food is quite good.

If you’re traveling I-80, I’d either recommend here or Taqueria Vallarta in Rock Springs.

Pros: Setting

Cons: Could have more vegan options

Amazing Vegan Food

This is my go to place when I am visiting my son at school. The only thing that I would change is their location. I would love it if they would relocate to Houston, TX!

Pros: The food…WOW! Buffalo Cauliflower is the best!, Relaxed atmosphere., The fun and knowledgeable waitstaff

Vegan comfort food

So much variety. So much hearty vegan comfort food. They have a cute cafe side and a busy bar side. Lots of desserts and drinks. I’ve loved every dish I’ve gotten and I’ve tried lots! #Veganuary

Incredible

Cauliflower wings are to die for and some excellent vegan cocktails too! I think it’s the best vegetarian restaurant I have tried in the Rocky Mountain region.

Pros: Cozy Atmosphere, Extensive Menu, Vegan Cocktails

Best restaurant in the state

It’s easy to be vegan at Sweet Melissa’s. They have a ton of vegan dishes and almost anything that isn’t vegan can have a vegan substitution. They treat the workers really well and the environment is super friendly!

Great Place

The atmosphere is cool; it’s an interesting building with unique art and decor. The menu clearly labeled vegan options. I had the seitan gyro with coconut rice and black beans and it was great. I also had the chocolate cake with a scoop of vegan ice cream which was awesome. Overall great place and I’m glad there’s a spot like this in Laramie.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options, Lots of vegan options, Cool atmosphere

Cons: Not fully vegan

Worth the trip from Cheyenne

I sure wish this place was in Cheyenne. I had the vegan version of sweet potato and black bean burrito and cashew queso with chips. Everything was delicious and the staff very friendly. I can’t wait to go back.

Pros: So many vegan options, Great atmosphere , Friendly staff

This is the place to go in Laramie

Full vegetarian restaurant with many vegan options. The food differs in variety from lasagne to stir fries. I'm glad to see it was busy when I was a there. Very friendly staff that was hustling to keep up with the rush.

Pros: Labels on everything denoting vegan., Labels stating what can be made vegan by request., No bad bites here.

It’s unfortunate that there are few to no vegan options in Wyoming but not here. Ordered the chips and cashew cheese, Banh Mi and impossible chicken fried steak. Everything was amazing including the service.

Best Meal on I-80 with ¡¡MOCKTAILS!!

Sweet Melissa is paradise for a vegan on a road trip. Consistent with the reviews the cauliflower wings were the best! We also tried half and half buffalo and BBQ. Mashed potatoes are heavenly with a hearty mushroom gravy. The mocktail Negroni goes above and beyond. All the special touches that we love. Great atmosphere, plenty of options.

One of The Best Veg Restaurants in US

Could not believe how good this place was! The food, the drinks, the ambiance!!! Perfect. I read reviews and ordered accordingly. Definitely don't skip their "wings" and if you can't decide between the 2 sauces, just get half and half. My partner liked the bbq sauce best and my vote was the more spicy buffalo, plus the vegan ranch, of course. Also splurged with a Moscow Mule, that was quite a splash of fun and matched the vibe of the place. I was saving room for dessert, so went for the Ukrainian Beet salad, which was really wonderful, while my partner had the Veggie Stir Fry with Thai Peanut sauce and yummy coconut rice. He was quite pleased. Had an apple crisp with vegan vanilla bean ice cream to finish. There were so many great things on the menu, and we saw many of them go by. I doubt you could go wrong here. Would imagine there might be a wait to get a table during popular times, but we were lucky enough to walk in and get a table quickly. Service was exceptional, efficient and friendly.

Delicious and so many choices!

The most vegan options I’ve seen in Wyoming! We had the vegan chick’n Caesar salad and the veggie stir fry. The chick’n had an amazing texture. The tofu on the stir fry was perfectly cooked and really well-marinated. Was glad our dog was permitted on the small patio. Will definitely be coming here anytime we are in the area!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Cool interior bar area, Dogs permitted on patio

Get the cauliflower wing

The wings are amazing the breading is perfect and sticks to the cauliflower. We also had the Cuban bowl and a burger which were awesome but the star was the wings

Vegan Heaven in a Small Town

Absolutely loved this little (very vegan-friendly) vegetarian spot. Tons of clearly marked vegan options, super friendly service, & my meal was delicious. I ordered the Bahn Mi with fried garlic potatoes as the side, with some vegan ranch for dippin’ those taters, of course 🙃 There was an option for seitan or portabello on the sandwich, I went with the seitan, per my servers rec, & it was delicious - a total dupe for gyro meat. They have a gyro on the menu; I’ll probably try that whenever I stop through again. I was too full for dessert, but they had over 5 vegan dessert options 🤤.... can you tell I liked this place..!?
