What People Are Saying About Sunlight Cafe

In Short
Vegetarian food is king at this bright cafe, where a steady clientele of aging hippies, vegans and other health-conscious citizens chow on diner food with a good-for-you twist. The south room is well-lit from a wall of windows, while the darker north room has wooden booths and a counter. Menu items include a long list of salads, pasta dishes and sandwiches like the nutburger--a patty of roasted nuts, rice and vegetables.

As a vegetarian I was excited to try this U district cafe. My husband and I were dissapointed by the limited and unimaginative menu. The waiter hovered over us while we were deciding and the restaurant itself was fairly rundown and not exactly clean. The food came rather quickly and it was decent but I don't think we will be returning, we go to Silence-Heart-Nest instead.

I love coming here (I'm not a vegeterian nor vegan) for their sesame waffles (such a unique and delicious taste) covered with bananas, blueberries and yogurt and for their yogi tea (kind of like chai masala tea) and their fresh juices. This is a breakfast standby for me.

I've eating at Sunlight many times over the years and appreciate their comfortable attitude and focus on serving tasty vegetarian food. I don't mind that the place desperately needs an upgrade from peeling paint and rocking counter stools and just assume things are pretty clean since you can look into the kitchen. But Sunlight really needs a service upgrade. It's not that they have a bad attitude, in fact they're mostly nice! But dining there can be a painful experience with servers who seem to be overwhelmed or dazed don't even notice that you are waiting....and waiting. The food arrives fairly quickly, fortunately, however about half the time I have to get up to remind a server that something is forgotten. I used to be a server and it's painful for me to watch the disorganization. It's depends on the timing and I appreciate Sunlight still serving vegetarian after all these years, plus the lemon tahini dressing is to die for, but I wish the servers could either get extra help or receive some training on how to wait tables. I think the whole place desperately needs an upgrade.
