"Sunshine's Vegetarian Deli and Health Food Store, a tiny counter-service spot in the Medical Center, is a vegetarian deli, but about 90% of the menu is also vegan. The food covers the plant-loving bases—kale salads, grilled veggie wraps, and smoothies. What sets Sunshine’s apart is that its best dishes could impress a carnivore, like the thick plant-based burgers topped with creamy potato salad (thank you veganaise) and nachos drizzled in rich cashew cheese provide a newfound appreciation for the humble tree nut. Plus, half of the space is a mini wellness store where you can buy things like sea moss gel, ashwagandha, and tea that does important things like support your joint health and restore your childlike sense of wonder." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
