Sunshine's Vegetarian Deli and Health Food Store

Today I went to Sunshine’s it was my first visit. It was more than I expected and I enjoyed my visit. Sample of salads are available. I purchased some Egyptian Musk Soap & Bean Thread Salad. Can’t wait til I return. Dine In Available. Excellent Customer Service ✅💯

First timer! I got the vegan nachos which were bomb! I also ordered the garlic kale- it wasn't my favorite; however it was prepared fresh but too garlicky for me. The young lady taking my order was nice and patient with me while I made a decision on my order. Be prepared for parking that wasn’t my favorite. You’ll be lucky to find parking in front of the building. If you do it’s possible you’ll be blocked in or vice versa. I will definitely return to try the other menu items.

It is not hyperbole to say this Sunshine's has some of the greatest vegan food I've had the opportunity to enjoy. The lentils are peppery with a nice kick and the Sunshine smoothie is the best. All prepared by a wonderful, friendly team who could not have been more welcoming. A must visit for vegans in Houston. (Worth noting parking can be a little tricky, but they'll help you find a spot.)

This is a small store with healthy products and vegetarian food. The salads look very good and the food other people ordered looked amazing. I can tell they take the time to prepare very good food. I had the lentil soup which was good. We both ordered the fry veggie bowl that comes on a bed of rice. The concept is very good and the portion is very generous. It actually comes with a lot of veggies. Unfortunately, it was probably cooked in very old burned oil cause it left us with a bad after taste, that of old burned oil. Heads up: parking is extremely limited, so you might just order your food to go.

I ordered Sunshine nachos. I was surprised that it was $15. The online menu prices need to be updated. Although my lunch was delicious it was really chili with chips, not nachos. I had cheese, beans, salsa and jalapeños. I even found a bay leaf in my beans. No lettuce, no tomatoes-that's not typical of nachos!

The most creative salad combinations ever. Garlic kale is a fave but intense, so the Mixed Kale & Cabbage has been a go to. Their signature paté and bean threads make this satisfying raw experience a must have!! They also have hot foods like burgers and even soul food during holidays and certain seasons. This place has consistently provided tasty veg options for a long time. Highly recommended

Outstanding place!!! Hidden gem in Houston. The food is amazing and the service is fantastic. Super relaxed environment. Everything was cooked to perfection. I had a Beyond Burger which was great. Sweet potato fries are savory and the kale salad is fresh. Will most definitely come again.

The videos will tell you all you need to know. Yum yum yum. All week I've been waiting for an opportunity to get back to this store!

Some of the best, clean, plant based food around. My wife loves the Nachos and I enjoyed the Black beans sandwich. The sweet potato fries are amazing! Plus they carry a variety of healthy items like black soap, Shea butter and sea moss. The service is very good too!

My favorite is bean thread but the last two times the taste is very different. Today it was very bland. I also liked the garlic kale salad. The last time it was way too much garlic so I didn't get it today. I got the broccoli salad and that was very good. I mixed it with the bean thread to add taste to the bean thread.

I've ordered to go from the OST location for 5 years after moving to the medical center area. The parking lot on the side is spacious but has a lot of gravel and uneven spots so drive slowly. I've never dined in but they have a good sized sitting area. I recommend to order online and plan for at least 30 min to pick up the food. If you order when you arrive, it has always been a long wait for me but the staff and food quality are great so I don't mind to wait as long as I plan ahead of time. The restaurant is also a store for various healthy food items, drinks and even care products. It has a casual atmosphere like a convenience store. I usually get the Tex mex burger or the black bean nachos with jalapeños. They have amazing flavors! I'm not a vegan but my in-laws do vegan fasting occasionally and this is my go to for them and they love it too.

When I wanna do a good burger and the best sweet potato fries ever, I go to Sunshine. I haven't tried many of the short order selections because I can't get past the sunshine burger and the sweet potato fries. I believe the sunshine burger used to be called the best burger, but it is one of the best burgers. And the sweet potato fries are 2nd to None. Vegan and vegetarians you need to try this place give the chicken enchiladas a try if you're looking for a meal, They have several selections of cold salads that are good. And several old remedy, healthcare, vitamins, ointment, supplements, alkaline water, this is a one stop health location. Great service and small dining area.

Sunshine's is fantastic!!!!! The best vegan spot I've been to. The owner and the young girl were very friendly and welcoming. They allowed me to taste some of the cold bar items before I purchased. Let me tell you, never in life would I have thought I'd be craving Kale. Her Kale salad is off the charts with one having a nice spicy kick.. I'll go back on a weekly basis for sure.

I had their vegan chocolate cupcake which ended up being one of the most rich, most flavorful chocolate cupcakes I've ever eaten! I don't know what they use in their ingredients but I wasn't able to capture the cupcake before it was eaten, only after there was nothing but the cupcake wrapper left. It was a large cupcake with plenty of icing. The icing, melts in your mouth along with the cupcake! I mean it was incredible. I also order their veggie quesadillas which were full of flavor and a side of two dipping sauces! Yum!!! I mean freaking delicious! You have to come check this place out at least once! You'll be hooked!

Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. A wide selection to choose from. Love the smoothies, The bbq mushrooms and kale salads are two of my favorites. The strawberry cookies are the best cookie I ever had. Hard to believe they are vegan. Large dining room and a bunch of healthy items to choose from in the store area.

They always greet everyone that walks in. I am very happy to be here! In my Eddie Murphy, Coming to America voice. They serve vegetarian and vegan hot meals, smoothies, wraps. They have lots of natural herbs and vitamins, dried seamoss and already made seamoss. They also sell natural deodorants, soaps and shea butters. You can dine in or get your food to go.

Great food and great service Had the spicy black bean burger w/sweet potato fries Yummy Taste was incredibly fresh and Teressa was even nice enough to let me sample their salad mixes (both green and noodle) as bd they were amazing! Definitely grabbing some to go Overall solid and delicious

A great healthy option in a sea of southern cuisine. I picked up the quesadilla and a few snacks for my time in Houston. It did the job. I took the food to-go after ordering pickup on DoorDash but there were a few folks sitting although it's not the best seating area. Positive vibes and focused on black health, which I will always support.

Delicious Vegan food and superb customer service! Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Greeted by all staff, and experienced a easy check out process. I ordered a black bean burger *spicy* yummy! My tastebuds skyrocketed! I love the ambiance. Their facility has Apple Pay. I would definitely return

Been wanting to visit Sunshine Health Food Store for a while now . So glad I finally decided to check them out. First, This place is black owned. Second,This placed focus on a healthy lifestyle. This place is equipped with all sorts of healthy products such as products, vitamins, body products, teas, herbs sea-moss and vegan food (snacks,salads,beverages,desserts and etc.) I purchased the sunshine Sea-moss this sea-moss is flavored with cinnamon, bladderwrack and agave. My kids ingested this flavor, way much easier than the regular sea-moss. I also indulge in a beyond burger with sweet potato fries. My meal was delicious and fresh. I will definitely recommend Sunshine to anyone who is looking to improve their overall health. They also have sages, incenses for you mentally health as well!!!

Amazing service I got the seamoss it was great will be back again soon! Amazing service I got the seamoss it was great will be back again soon!

I was a bit disappointed in the service at Sunshine's. I hadn't been in a while and decided to invite a friend who is vegan to have lunch. We arrived on a weekday around 1:45-2:00ish, there wasn't a line, but the cashier did not greet us right away or say Hello, welcome I will be right with you. She saw we were there but continued completing her task before acknowledging us. We put our order in and when it was ready the presentation and quality of food was definitely not what I was used to. I ordered the quesadillas, and I asked for a knife to cut them, because I pretty much had a large spinach tortillas folded in half and then cut in half. The vegetables were just falling out all over the plate. I asked the cashier for a knife and she said they did not have any. She said she could ask the cook to cut it back in the kitchen. She stayed on her phone the entire time while at the counter and did not check to see if we needed anything or if the food was okay. I hate to write such a critical review but I was embarrassed after talking so highly about the menu and service to my friend. I'm not sure if I will return.

Amazing food! The grilled veggie wrap and the JD quesadilla, together with the smoothies, are my absolute favorites. Very good service too. I wish we could come here more often.

First time customer today and I'm glad I finally was able to check this place out. The young lady who took my order was professional and offered great suggestions. I ordered the vegan nachos, spicy black bean burger w/ sweet potatoes fries, bean thread and garlic kale. The food is amazing! Hot, fresh, delicious! The sweet potato fries were the best I've ever tasted. First time trying bean threads and garlic kale, so good! I'll be back again, no doubt. The location is spacious if you want to eat-in. I love that it's black owned!

One stop shop for health products (sea moss, black seed oil), essentials (lotions, natural soaps, & body butters), plus a full menu of vegan & vegetarian food. Their nachos, spicy garlic kale, & spaghetti are my favorite.

My first time eating at Sunshine's and it did not disappoint. The food had a nice flavor and the portion size was unbelievably big. I ate half and the other half for dinner. The cashew cheese fooled me it tastes like regular queso cheese. The fresh watermelon were sweet and full of black seeds. Definitely will be back.

I recommend this place to everyone. I wish they were in Dallas. I wish they had a cook book. Their kale salads are amazing, that garlic sauce is my favorite. I can't wait to go back. Wraps, burgers, sandwiches, juices. I hope this place continues to flourish. I forgot to add that I'm not even vegan! It's just great food and you feel great afterwards too. Ps. Please give me the garlic sauce recipe, I cannot stop thinking about it!

Great place, friendly service and very very knowledgeable about their products. The ladies that work here are very kind and their seamoss is good.

Great spot for fresh juices/smoothies, sea moss gel, natural products and tasty vegan food. Lately I have dined out with to-go orders. You order at the counter and seat yourself. They will call your name when your order is ready. Most items range from $8-$15 on the menu. The staff in there are very nice.

I love this place! It's one of my favorite vegan spots in Houston. I always get the black bean nachos, and everything on their raw premade bar is delicious. It's once lady that works there that's so kind to me.

This hidden gem deserves a gold medal! The spicy black bean burger is the BEST I've ever had! If you don't mind your breath smelling like garlic, the garlic kale salad is worth It!!!!!!!! Just don't talk to anyone for the rest of the day . I've introduced this restaurant to so many people and they love It!!!! Even my picky niece LOVES this place!

I've tried this Houston staple many times in college, and the food is still great. It's always great to have healthy options in such a big city, and sunshine glows in this regard. With many options, I decided to have vegan nachos with alkaline water. The food was fresh and tasty, and I also had lentil soup as my side. The service was good as always, but my only consideration about the establishment is it needs to improve on its decor as well as seating capacity.

First time visiting and eating at a local vegan restaurant here in Texas. Store had vitamins available, sea moss and natural body soaps. Food was amazing. I had the kale and garlic salad, vegan nachos and the cheesy cheese burger. Service was attentive and the ambiance remind me of a local spot that everyone should know about. I look forward to exploring more food offerings and trying the fresh fruit smoothies they offer in the future.

Never in my life did I think I would enjoy eating raw kale. But Sunshine's Kale Salad is so damn good. What ever dressing they are using in this kale must be a recipe given from an ancestor that stayed in the kitchen. Best vegan option in the area. The nachos are top notch and the spicy bean burger hits every time!

Customer service could be a little better, I understand it's COVID Season and what not, but to have me waiting for a to-go order that was sitting on the counter for 25 mins is annoying. Someone could have walked it over to me or made sure the food had an owner. For that they lost a star. Otherwise my black bean wrap was so scrumptious, the flavors were hitting the spot. My sweet potatoe fries, though cold, were pretty yummy. So while I don't think this restaurant is shining during these times, which restaurant really is? Everyone is so concerned about getting sick, distancing and speaking through masks. It's such a fragile time. But I don't appreciate cold food so - 4 stars today.

Hey y'all.. im dissappointed. and it's ok because we all have our days no one is perfect but to come in this locally owned establishment & not see any local soaps, body products made especially not the ones listed on the website was disappointing. But, maybe one day we will do better.

I love sunshine health food store so much , not just the food but the actual health store . With drinks, vitamins, sea moss, dietary needs,etc. Black bean Nachos served with black beans, green onions, cashew cheese, chilli beans, and black beans for the meat. : Vegan enchiladas with soy crumbles rolled into corn tortillas, with cashew cheese ,enchilada sauce, chilli beans, rice and pico de gallo. Make sure y'all check @sunshineshealthfood out and even get a chance to shop some healthy options for vitamins an so much more. Make sure to tell em Timmy sent you! Make sure to follow me on Instagram @Timmyinthecity

Food was soo good. I got the garlic salad and it was so good. Its for garlic lovers only though bc its super garlicy, but just the way i like it. I also got the nachos which were good. The service was fast and they were nice. It could be more aesthetically pleasing, but im there for the food so i don't mind lol

I love coming to Sunshines when I'm in the area. I ALWAYS get the spicy black bean burger with sweet potato fries . I had never purchased anything in store but wanted to try the gelled Sea Moss, the cashier which was Sunshine's granddaughter, suggested the "Sunshines surprise sea moss gel. I was hesitant to try it but I purchased it anyways and it wasn't bad, it had a cinnamon flavor with a texture of applesauce. Due to the awesome health benefits of sea moss I will most definitely be purchasing it again.

My favorites:: garlic kale and lentil soup. Also love the pate and other versions of kale. Great commitment to vegan food and good health. Love the spirit and energy of the staff. Almost feels like home.

Run don't walk to Sunshine's Health Food Store! The food is delicious, the customer service is awesome and you deserve wellness and health. Must try the almond patè and garlic kale salad. Sooo delicious...the fries are addicting! I can't wait to go back. Oh not to mention Sunshine's Special seamoss is very good and easy on the tastebuds. You're gonna love it!

I love meat but i gotta get my vegetables on too so i gave this spot a try. It's actually really good. I had the burger and it was great. If they have a meatloaf then i would get that too. I enjoyed the regular kale salad but the garlic kale salad was a bit too strong my taste. The sweet potato fries are also amazing and quite addictive. I'll be back for those and the regular kale salad.

Great food and great service. Everyone is so polite. Last week I had the Spicy Black Bean Burger and this week I got the Beyond Burger.... Ohhhhh myyyy ooooo wee... The Spicy Black Bean Burger was good, but the Beyond Burger was awesome. It taste just like meat... Dont tell me whats in it... lol They offer organic mustard, ketchup, and even veganise (mayonaise). I also ordered a side of sweet potato fries and they were delisssssh. OMG. They are so meaty and juice, I love the steak size sweet potato fries. They are much better than the shoestring ones that everyone seems to sell. The fries are sweet and are made just right. My meals are always filling in that it is a regular sized burger with all the trimmings... lettuce, tomato, onion, etc. This location is clean; however, the restroom needs a little work. The restaurant is a nice size, may be too big for the parking lot in that it is small and fills up fast, so if you dont get there early, I suggest Uber/Lyft or catch a ride!!! Altogether, I recommend this spot, its good and the service is two thumbs up!

One of those days when you just don't feel eating in the office cafe, looked up on google to find a local vegetarian place and Sunshines popped up at a distance of 6 min drive from the medical center area. Am so glad I found this place, ordered a to go of a veggie sandwich with a side of crispy sweet potato fries, and additional two sides of hummus and bead thread. The service was prompt, the servers helpful in explaining what each food had in them and a pretty neat place. It is a total vegetarian place with a lot of vegan options too. The guy I spoke to told me that their wheat bread was vegan too- that was a little hard to believe considered how soft the bread was .... So close to home, would definitely be back to try the other stuff on the menu. Tips: They have plenty healthy smoothie drinks, besides pasta, lasagna, enchiladas, wraps, kids meal, Soy chicken and meat options too.

Great food and service. You love how healthy it makes you feel. I bought quite a few items and nothing disappoints.

Have been following Sunshine's from Place to place for more than 10-years. Have dealt happily with relocations and people changes, not so happily with price increases (but understand them). Have referred MANY people over that time. For the last 2-weeks, I have gone at least 3 times each week. Prices ranged from 20-27 each visit. Today, I get told that garlic kale and lemon kale cannot be mixed when they were mixed two days ago. She simply refused, no problem-solving effort at all. Not only cost them today's sale (roughly 25.00) but several others as well.

From the moment I walked in, I loved this place. It really is a deli and health food store where you can buy supplements, supplies, and other healthy sundries, but most people I saw were there for the food. I really wish I could have tried more, but I only had one free day in Houston and I only have one stomach *sigh*. I ordered the Portobello mushroom wrap with a side of white bean soup, an 'Immune Me' smoothie, and a small bean pie. I ate every last thing. Everything was delicious AND well seasoned. I want more spice in the soup, but that's my taste. If I lived in Houston I would be here every day. There was so much on the menu that I wanted to try and i hope that there is another trip to Houston in my future so that I can visit this restaurant and store again.

Coming from Austin, I found this to be a very unusual place. I was in Houston for work and I had decided to go to Sunshine's for lunch as it was within proximity to my hotel. It was in an isolated location with only a Public Storage next to it. It is a vegan restaurant but it also didn't feel like it. There was a no paper menu and also the staff didn't seem very approachable. The food was okay though so points for that!! I ordered the Vegan Enchiladas with a side of pinto beans and it was definitely above average. There is also a health food store inside for anyone wanting to buy groceries. All in all, I'd say to at least to try it and form your own judgement!!

I Didn't know what to expect from a plant base restaurant,wanted to try something on the healthy side and boy..I'm a regular now.From the vibe of walking into the Establishment to the customers service ,Than the fresh Food, by far a place to eat at

I really really love the garlic kale salad here at Sunshine's, but I wish the service was just as impeccable as the food. My friend went to the restaurant to place an order at the counter for us - cause I was craving the garlic kale. When she ordered, there was a huge bowl of garlic kale in the screened deli area behind the counter. She ordered the 3 salad combo and I got the Spicy Black Bean Burger with a small side of the garlic kale. Well.. she paid and ended up getting most of the food - but an hour later was still standing there waiting because they ran out of garlic kale and told her they would go back and make some. How long does it take so long to make garlic kale salad? Instead of informing her, they just had her stand there and wait. Then after the hour had passed, they told her that they didn't have the ingredients to make it and would substitute the order for another salad? Say what? When we ordered - there was a ton of garlic kale. They should've packaged it for us since we had ordered and already paid. They waited until the black bean burger finished cooking and then by that time, the garlic kale was gone. Most businesses would notify you and remedy the situation with a replacement - but they completely ignored her and didn't tell her. This is bad business practice and I wish they cared enough about customer service to notify the customer of the issue in a timely manner. Seriously, no one should have to stand there for over an hour for a to-go order - especially not for a salad! They should know ahead of time if there is an inventory issue. She was so turned off by them, she will never be back. To make matters worse, the Black Bean Burger had zero sauce in it, which made it bland and super dry. I've had this before and someone forgot an ingredient when making it. No offer of reimbursement for the now cold food cause of the kale salad mishap and no offer to make things right for wasting our time. I love the kale salad so much, however, I decided to place an order online for it a week later. I did this twice - the first time they had my salad and Beyond burger packaged and ready for pick-up at the correct time. It was easy and I was able to go in and grab and go. The Beyond burger was juicy and delicious - way better than the black bean burger I had the previous week. The 2nd time I placed a to-go order, I only ordered a large garlic kale and they didn't have it ready for me at the time of scheduled pick-up. The girl told me to wait and then finally decided to go package the kale salad for me herself. Why she didn't do that in the first place, beats me! But I think they totally forgot about the order cause she didn't have a ticket and then asked me if I already paid. Seriously? How do they run a business here? They need to fix the issues and become more consistent with their service. Someone needs to make sure orders are managed in an orderly way. If you love garlic, this garlic kale salad is the best thing - it's so garlicky it burns! But is it worth the hassle to come here and get it, knowing you may waste precious time for them to just package it into a container, that's up for you to decide!

This place never disappoints. So delicious. The only thing I suggest is checking your order b4 you drive off. It never failed, theyalways forget to give us our complete order. But I give them a 5 star bc the food is finger licking good and they have the best sweet potatoes fries ever

I had a late lunch last weekend here. It was a rainy day and the parking lot was full. If that's the case when you arrive your only other option is nearby street parking and a short walk. At the counter, I ordered the vegan spaghetti that comes with a kale salad and cornbread for $8. I was concerned that it wasn't going to be much food and so I added a bag of veggie chips for another $1 along with a bottled tea. The food was delivered to my table about 10 minutes later. I knew when I ordered the spaghetti that it was whole wheat pasta and therefore the taste could suffer but this actually wasn't bad at all. The soy crumbles in the tomato sauce imitated ground beef and was good in taste. The serving size was large and the only recommendation I can make for improvement is to be able to add some vegan cheese on top. The lemon kale salad was also very good and I enjoyed it. Finally, the cornbread serving was large and therefore filling with a typically good cornbread taste. For $8 this was actually a lot of food that I enjoyed eating and that I would order again. The meal was a 3.5 but I will round up due to the value. As vegan food becomes more popular and more restaurants serve it people who try it will like it.

Almost every time I go down to the med center I stop here and it is stellar every time. The food is incredibly fresh and it's refreshing to have a place with healthy, interesting options. My favorite is their spicy black bean tex mex burger and garlic kale salad. The kale salad is so garlicky it has almost a horseradish-like spiciness to it. Everything from the fresh bread down to the veggies on the black bean burger is so good, and I always add some of their hot sauce to it. Be prepared to wait 20 minutes out so unless you call ahead or order online. It's so worth the wait, though!

Amazing vegan food with several healthy options! All dishes were packed with tons of flavor and spice and worth a weekly visit! The small market has fresh sea moss and other vital all natural supplements for sale, which makes it super easy to connect with your inner self to produce the best you.

Vegan food for the vegan lover! You may find a new way of living if you come to often. Nachos on Wednesdays and Spaghetti on Fridays and always get a smoothie! Don't just go back take a friend!

I am really not trying to be that person... But I feel we need to hold these health conscious restaurants accountable. There are so many people that need healthy, vegan food, but can't afford it. I ordered a grilled veggie wrap and a small white bean soup. Now if you were at Panera and you ordered that same thing it would come to maybe $12. But it does small vegan restaurant came out to over $18! In the black community, we are so concerned about providing us with more healthy options, but when I go to these places, most people can't eat there or feed their kids, and then eat at the same time! I love the food, it was grilled to perfection. But I was not planning on spending $20 on lunch and I'm not going to a four-star steakhouse. I'm just in my feelings!
