Delicious, healthy food that feels great to eat! The portions are large but I've never left feeling stuffed and uncomfortable. Amazing flavors, nice variety. The staff is also SO sweet! The cafe has a really nice atmosphere, so it's just an overall very pleasant experience to dine in!

I have been getting Surya's Gaia meals for a month now and don't know how I ever lived without them. They are amazing!! It's a great way to get high quality vegan (I am not vegan but have dairy restrictions) meals without leaving home. Just heat and eat. So easy and so yummy!

Every vegan restaurant I’ve been to before felt like “Italian cuisine but vegan” or “American food but vegan”. This is the first place I’ve been which feels like actual vegan cuisine, rather than some other type of cooking being vegan as a gimmick. It’s also very yummy and good vibes.

As someone living with Celiac disease, Surya Cafe is one of the only safe havens in the Madison Wi area for going out to eat. Dedicated gluten free, and dedicated in nutrition and flavor! The staff are always so kind and welcoming as well. I can’t say enough good about this place, if I had the budget I would eat here every day. It is a little pricier, but totally justified for the healthy ingredients and deliciousness. My favorites are the shiitake bacon, hippie toast, and waffles!

Get yourself a bowl and you won't regret it. A yoga class on the side is the perfect companion (though the blended latte isn't to shabby of an alternative).

The food was good. The only problems were the portion size was small for $13+ an entree and a 4“ by 1.5” piece of toast for $4?,I ordered Megan’s toast that was supposed to have avocado, tomato, oyster mushrooms, and micro greens. I got avocado with one quartered cherry tomato. When she fixed it I got added shiitake mushrooms (supposed to be oyster) and 3 tiny pieces of micro greens. Taste good but disappointing.

Inaccurate description of food and small servings for price. Overall did taste good tho.
Really a hidden gem. Run into place by accident, amazing vegan food, excelled coffee and they have yoga studio too.

This place is highly recommended! I really wish the chef is my personal chef! I come here almost daily and their dishes never disappoint me. The staff are incredibly amicable and I feel welcomed!

Found this amazing little gem on Yelp. We are from out of town and looking for a vegan place. This cafe was beyond zen and quaint. So much character and ambience. I got the East meets west salad and it was delicious and very filling. The whole concept of the cafe with the yoga studio was genius. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in town.

We were travelling in the area, and looking for a place where to enjoy a brunch, healthy but delicious. Thanks to Google Maps we were able to discover this little gem. Because of covid you have to order online and the only option is take out, but the good news is that you are allowed to eat in their patio, which was a nice, calm place as nobody else was there. There is also a nice little library in case you want to enjoy a little reading feeding your brain together with your stomach! The staff was VERY kind, and everything was super clean. They care is inside what appear to me a center for yoga/meditation = they totally care about your wellbeing. I could tell from the taste of the food, very fresh made out of original recipies thought specifically to balance nutrients with taste. For sure we will visit again when in the area. Top class. We had a fantastic Sushi Bowl, a combination of sweet and sour toasts, tree hugger waffle, a marvelous Pina Colada Sundae Sorbet with addition of vegan protein, Maca and CBD. Try also the freshly squeezed juice (we had the immune support!) and beverages, it will help your body!
