Sunflower Bakehouse sits at 2414 Lebanon Pike in Donelson, inside a building that used to be a muffler shop before it became a bakehouse. It opened in September 2019 as a sister restaurant to Sunflower Cafe in Berry Hill, extending the same all-vegan approach to a second Nashville neighborhood while adding a gluten-free bakery into the mix.
The menu spans sandwiches, burgers, salads, hot entrees, and sides alongside breakfast items, baked goods, smoothies, coffee, tea, and lattes — a full vegan restaurant paired with a bakery case built for gluten-free needs.
Regulars point to the baked goods as a particular strength, and to a kitchen that treats both vegan and gluten-free cooking as central rather than an afterthought. The staff draws consistent praise for friendliness, and the range on the menu means vegetarians and non-vegans find plenty to order too.
