8 reviews for Sweet Melissa's
Greek salad with Falafel - Wonderful
Bruschetta appetizer - Fantastic
Came on a friend's suggestion and were very pleased with the food. Would definitely come back next time we are in town.
You want to find Sweet Melissa Vegeterian Café in Laramie.
Cute cozy and very very busy with a 100% vegeterian menu that offers many vegan items as well. All menu items are marked if they've vegan, contain egg or dairy, or are vegan on request. The icing in my cake? They have a gluten free menu as well.
I ordered the Falalfel Pita. It comes with my choice of cucumber yogurt sauce or Tahini sauce, and is served with chips and salsa for $7.95. The menu also includes specialty items up to $9.50. Even that is a great price.
I'm going to come back here ar least a couple more times while I'm in Laramie becuse I see a bunch of things on the menu I want to try, but I can only eat so much at one sitting.
Holy cow - I just asked about the desserts. Everything is home made: carrot cake - peach raspberry cobbler - banana bread grilled and served smothered in maple sauce. I'm gaining weight already.
Mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm good stuff.
When visiting Laramie, Wyoming this last summer I had the pleasure of dining here. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere which is modestly decorated and comfortable. Their menu was wonderful- full of hearty, healthy options. Both times I ate here during my three-week stay, the service was excellent and prompt and the prices reasonable.
The food really knocked my socks off. Even as a vegetarian, I am hesitant when visiting vegetarian restaurants because often people sacrifice flavor to keep the meat out. Not in this case. Sweet Melissa's had wonderful entrees. My favorite dish there was a huge grilled portabello sandwich. It was seasoned perfectly and I savored every bite. If fate takes you to remote Laramie, Wyoming, don't hesitate to eat here. The dishes are filling even if you are a carnivore!
Being from Utah and having occasion several times a year to travel to Iowa by automobile Sweet Melissa's in Laramie is the culinary highlight of the trip, both going and coming! Finding such choice and quality vegetarian food is rare enough in cities with millions and millions of people, so finding it anywhere in Wyoming may make it worth a trip as it's own destination... this is a Find with a capital F.
Daily specials satisfy my need for something unique, interesting and delightful on several visits, such as stuffed half acorn squash (stuffed with croutons-walnuts-cashews-celery-sage-water chestnut and more), includes soup or salad. The soup was a great mix of fresh vegetables with garbanzo beans. It was a feast on a plate for a weary traveler.
The nut-meatloaf with tomato sauce and mashed potatoes mainstay from the menu is also a favorite.
Salad greens are always fresh and intriguing (out in the sticks WY, maybe they are growing their own organic veggies.
I have been too full for desert the last two visits, but the list of offerings make me want to stay in town long enough to have room to indulge further.
The wait staff have always been great; eager to please and accommodate any special request.
I am a people watcher and this is a fun place to go. Intelligent people and conversations have been a happening every time I've been.
You might even want to pick out a tie-dyed souvenir T-shirt to take home.
I already look forward to my next opportunity to indulge at Sweet Melissa's...
It is worthy of having a great song with the same name.
InJoy!
I'm not a vegetarian, but the veggie burger was pretty good. Probably a lot healthier for me too.
My only problem was that they keep the place really cold during the winter months.
I have been to Wyoming twice. The first time I was traveling across the country by bus, in the dead of summer, and the bus broke down in the middle of nowhere. I recently returned to Wyoming, in the dead of winter, and things were as easy as pie ... or should I say, chocolate cake with raspberry sauce.
I don't know how many vegans there are in Laramie but I get the feeling, well, with the help of some context clues, uh, that there probably aren't very many. Sweet Melissa's is the kind of restaurant that makes you happy because it offers small town wholesome goodness, vegetarian style.
While the vegan options are slim, all dishes are vegetarian and many can be made vegan. I enjoyed the stir fry with peanut sauce, although it was over-the-top decadent. The hummus was tasty, definitely order it for your appetizer, but piled inside a sandwich it lacked zazz. I have heard good things about the Specials. Whatever you do though, order the chocolate cake for dessert.
Thank you for this vegetarian restaurant in Laramie so I didn't have to eat snow.
This is probably the only restaurant that so much as serves vegetarian/vegan options in Wyoming (other than, perhaps, tourist-tainted Teton county). That fact alone is enough for it to merit five stars. The food is delicious and the prices are unbeatable. Enough to take care o'me whenever I go to Laramie. All right, so my poetic and alliteration skills are truly awful, but seriously, Sweet Melissa's a great place.
Nice vegetarian restaurant in downtown Laramie. I went here twice during my stay. The gazpacho, I must say, is KIILLER. Great consistency and flavor. The generously sized piece of toasted bread soaks in the soup and adds a great touch. I also tried the stir fry with peanut sauce and the portabello melt sandwich. Both were decent, but on the heavy side. All in all, a great option.
