    We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. Comfortable booth, friendly server and great food. So happy to know where to go for rich and satisfying vegetarian food In Wyoming. The cauliflower General Tsao is spicy as all get out. 😥 Hula burger is a win for the unusual combo of black beans, grilled pineapple, cheese and pickles. 🤩 Fried banana bread and homemade ice cream—yes, please! 😜 ❤️

    Do not let the word vegetarian turn you away. This is homestyle comfort food at its best, made with love and premium quality ingredients. There is something for everyone and it's never a miss. If you are new, get the sweet potato burrito. I switch it up between the lasagna, falafel pita, sage butter mushroom ravioli, quiche, chili and cornbread, salads, and gorgonzola leek mac n cheese.

    Great homey vibes. Delicious food. Kind servers. Excellent vegetarian options. We got vegan mac, a black bean burger with fig sauce, lentil loaf and mashed potatoes and it was all amazing. Super stoked that we came here while swinging through town, and will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

    If you want meat, do not come here. If you want really, really delicious food with rich and intense flavors....then come here. The chipotle raspberry ravioli has a little sweetness followed by the smoky heat of the chipotle....just wow! The jerk ravioli was out of this world but be ready to handle a little heat.....but oh so worth it. The peppers and plantains on the side were so good. The gyro was good...but the roasted beats were exceptional; it has been a while since I tasted something this good (the hint of fennel was a welcome surprise). Dessert....well...it's all good. Our party tried the fried banana bread, the key lime pie, the peanut butter pie, and the chocolate cake, The chocolate cake was a little dry so get ice with it....otherwise, they were all delicious.

    We were stranded in Laramie due storms and Googled vegan restaurants. This one came up first and had great reviews. So we came in and Holy hannah.... DELICIOUS is an understatement. So many options. Food was so hot and fresh (except the salad :) ) Food portions are nice sized, definitely took food back to the hotel with us. Daily specials and a big dessert menu. If you looking for tasty food, great atmosphere and friendly staff this is the place to come!

    Mid. Me and a friend went to Sweet Mellissa's with justifiably high expectations, considering the ratings. When we walked in we relished in the convivial atmosphere. After we were seated we asked the very helpful and jovial waitress what her favorite items were. She said it was the "Raspberry and Chipotle Ravioli." We were really excited since she was confident in saying "this is our best item," and since this is the highest rated restaurant in Laramie, we gladly were willing to pay. What did we get? 5 seemingly store bought raviolis with what was topped with what tasted like Cholula Chipotle Hot Sauce and some raspberry salad dressing. That's it. It was almost 3 dollars per each basic, bland cheese ravioli. So in summary, I would say absolutely terrific staff, truly outstanding atmosphere, but exceptionally ordinary food.

    I got the lasagna. It was melted cheese, pasta and red sauce. Nothing else. It's like they forgot to add vegetables, mushrooms or beyond meat. Just melted cheese, pasta and red sauce. It seemed to be missing ingredients.

    We had a delightful light early dinner at Sweet Melissa during our Laramie stay. We were greeted by one of the nicest servers I’ve ever had. She was so smiley… it made you want to smile back! She was patient with our needing to browse the menu and had some suggestions for us. We had the bean burger and the Kimchi Pancakes. The bean burger was good. Fresh ingredients, homemade patty. The Kimchi pancakes with Gochujang sauce are out of this world. Don’t be afraid to try the more unusual items on the menu - they’re good! We would recommend for a date night, celebrating events, or just want to eat yummy food. A relaxed adult atmosphere at night… the adults are enjoying the place. I would maybe not bring kids that can’t manage themselves. I’d love to try out half a dozen more items on the menu. Great place!

    We love Sweet Melissa’s! I am vegan and the rest of my family is not, but we always enjoy our food when we come here! Lots of great options for vegans/vegetarians and meat-lovers alike. We got the sesame broccoli stir fry, hula impossible burger, spinach lasagna, brown butter & sage ravioli with mushrooms, and chickpea cauliflower tikka masala today- all delicious! We are always very satisfied with the food & service here.

    Ordered noodle salad and kimchi pancake and all was above expectation. The noodle salah was refreshing and have a little bit spiciness, whilst the pancake was unexpectedly really good with the sauce that made it balance taste. The dish closed with pecan pie and vegan ice cream. Was really good too! My friend was ordering 3bean soup with jalapeno, it was a kick and must try especially in cold weather.It was a full house, and the service was warm and welcoming so we were stay until it almost closed haha. Thank you!

    We loved the vegan options here. Our friends enjoyed the vegetarian offerings. The tofu was done right in the udon noodles. 👌 The vegan cashew cheese sauce was wonderful in the grilled cheese. The mashed potatoes were perfect. The star was definitely the chocolate cake and vegan ice cream! I am not sure what ice cream they use but it was delicious, it had me second guessing that if it was dairy free.

    We stopped by here for lunch on a road trip and were very happy we did. We had the buffalo cauliflower wings and the jerk ravioli, both of which were excellent. The woman who served us was super nice as well. The dessert menu looked really enticing, but we were unfortunately too stuffed to partake. Next time, key lime pie! 100% recommend.

    Yummy and super cool place. They have many “VOR” or Vegan on Request options. Really good stuff. Had the Generals TSO - it’s spicy! Will be back next time when we are so lucky to visit Laramie and the surrounding mountains. Thank you. Keep up the hard work you all do in maintaining a cool place to stop and eat with great food.

    My favorite vegetarian restaurant that I eat at everytime I’m in Laramie. The food is amazing!

  • 5/5 Kannon m. 1 year ago on Google
    This resturaunt is a simple wow. They offer vegetarian dishes guaranteed to satisfy regardless of diet. I ordered the cauliflower wings in a half & half of the Buffalo and BBQ and they were quickly served out and delicious. Throwing them in the oven @350 for 10 minutes was great for leftover reheating too! I also got the ravioli and let me say the raspberry drizzle and creamy filling was a delight! I will absolutely be back.

    It was so delicious 🤤 I couldn’t believe I wasn’t eating real meat!!!! Best food and service I’ve had in a really long time!!!! We just moved to town and have tried a few local places and they have all been amazing, but Sweet Melissa’s is by far my favorite place so far!!!! Thank you 😊

    We are locals and have been going to Sweet Melissa for years! It's our favorite dinner/drink spot in town. Just wanted to give a shout out to our sever yesterday Emma! She was so kind, attentive, friendly and just plain nice. Thank you for great service and the food was exceptional as always. My husband really loved his Cuban sandwich that was the special of the day!

    Omg, the food was great. First time at a vegetarian restaurant and it blew my mind. Also heard this place was on Triple D, and it certainly deserved the rave.

  • 5/5 Breck D. 8 months ago on Google
    Vegetarian and gluten free options, it was hard to order because I had more the 2 options to choose from. I got the beet slaw and goat cheese black bean burger on a gluten free bun with sweet potatoes on the side. It was delicious! My meat loving husband got the grilled cheese on sour dough with a side salad. He was very impressed. We got the peanut butter pie to go. Best pie I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back in October when we visit UW! Go Pokes!

    I was there last week with my daughter. We had a wonderful experience beginning with our wait person. He was so friendly and helpful about trying to figure out what I could have according to special dietary needs. Wish I knew his name. Best waiter I've ever had! The food was delicious and quick in arriving. Cauliflower wings without the hot spice I can't have were just the best! Thank you for a terrific meal.

    I read a review online stating “best salad in town.” I went for lunch, ordered a Greek salad based on the advise from the waitress. It was the best Greek salad I’ve ever had! Everything was fresh and full flavored! I grew up near a few Greek restaurants and I travel between 12 different states, always looking for good food. Sweet Melissa’s Greek salad is phenomenal. I’m not a vegetarian/vegan or anything like it. But this place was outstanding!

    I think this is the best restaurant in Laramie! I absolutely love it. The atmosphere is really good, cozy and comfortable while still feeling clean. I have never had a dish that I didn’t r like here, and they can make so much of the menu gluten free. I have celiac and they take this very seriously. I love it!

    Wonderful mastery of ingredients. Friendly staff and cozy booths. Grab a drink or try some vegan fare!

  • 5/5 JMD 2 years ago on Google
    Had a delicious meal here while on a road trip. Lots of choices and I had a hard time picking. We ended up with a Reuben and the cauliflower melt, both were delicious. I highly recommend the mashed potatoes and gravy- it is so hard to find veggie gravy any more! The lemonade was VERY lemony, not too sweet. Prices were fair, plenty of parking, and only 5 mind off the highway of you are passing through. Highly recommend.

    Always an amazing meal, atmosphere, and service. It was very busy when we stopped in for dinner, so we ended up having to sit at the bar, but the bartenders did a great job of taking care of a lot of orders as well as being good hosts to my wife and I while we waited for our food. We love that this place not only caters well to vegans, but the bartenders made some delicious n/a cocktails.

    Had the Ravioli with mushrooms. Quite good. Everyone else enjoyed their food also. Quiche very good. Crab(less) cake very good as well. Love the ambiance as well.
