Just a quick peek in to give a quick review of Cafe Sunflower… I have some vegan peanut butter cookies coming soon, too. So, check back in the next few days.

I went to Cafe Sunflower in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. Per usual, I had the most difficult time deciding what to order. At the recommendation of the waitress, I got the Orzo Eggplant Lasagna (no noodles). It was layers of baked portabella mushroom, eggplant, zucchini, oven roasted red pepper, orzo pasta and tofu ricotta. Served over roasted shallot marinara and topped with grilled asparagus. Plus, I ordered a Mixed Green Salad with Basalmic dressing and a Pomegranate Lemonade.

It was okay, but I wasn’t thrilled. The mixed green salad was very large with basalmic dressing and was nice but nothing to write home about. The Lasagna had good flavor but it tasted a bit heavy/greasy for my tastes. The best part was the asparagus on top. It was very pretty though, with layered vegetables and no noodles. And the the Pomegranate Lemonade was…. Yum.

The place was decorated well and atmosphere was nice. And, of course, the presentation was good with all the layers of veggies. Thankfully it was on the company’s tab because the bill was pretty high, in my opinion, for the meal I had. ($31)

I then went just two blocks down the street to my favorite Cafe Intermezzo for coffee and dessert. I was pretty full from dinner, so I decided to take it to go. Since it was so warm out, I got an iced coffee and a light berry cake. I ate them once I got back in my room.
