In Short – This vegetarian lunch counter in the Shulman center for Jewish Life on the Vanderbilt campus serves as a handy meeting place for coffee drinkers and enlightened eaters. The kitchen mavens radiate enthusiasm and warmth in an otherwise utilitarian, sterile atmosphere. Daily menus include fresh salads, sandwiches and a hot entree or two. Examples include a salad sampler with orangey couscous with dried fruits and carrot shreds, tangy potato spinach raita or a peppery pasta salad.
Great vegetarian fare!

...and it's kosher as well! The only downside is that they have to use paper and plastic plates, cups, and cutlery, because anything that re-enters the kitchen has to be re-kosherized again, so washing dishes that leave the kitchen would be a huge and very time-consuming process. I recommend the Mexicali wrap (with cheese, if you're not vegan) - it comes with black bean spread, rice, and avocado - but their daily pasta and panini specials are always wonderful as well.
- Pros: great location, good service, delicious & healthy food
- Cons: sometimes have to wait in long lines of students

there are so few vegan friendly places to eat around here. it's nice to have one with so many vegan options in nashville
Not Bad, but Not Great
by kfrench
going in with high expectations, i was visiting from Louisville, and talked my friend from Nashville into going,tearing him away from his regular places. I thought the food was great, I had a curried tofu wrap, my friend though his pizza pannini was "so-so". The massive cookie was also awesome and I really thought the food was good. My only issue was that I had enough paper and plastic by the time it was over to fill a small land-fill. It would be so much better if they used dishes, all that plastic and paper feels so wasteful and impersonal, just buy some dishes and get a kid to wash dishes, it would be a much nicer place then :)
- Pros: good food, good people
- Cons: , plastic & paper, a tad pricey

Parking is tough if you don't know your way around the campus. Try for a spot in the visitor parking area near the University Club on Garland Avenue.
