Graze Nashville

Lockeland Springs · East Nashville

Plant-based menuDaily brunchDinnerBar

Graze is the all-day plant-based bistro choice in this guide. Its current schedule puts brunch and dinner under one roof: brunch runs until mid-afternoon, while the dinner menu is available throughout the day. That makes it practical for a late first meal without treating every breakfast item as an all-day guarantee.

Before you orderUse the current brunch or dinner menu for the meal period you want. The operator publishes a 10am opening every day and brunch through 3pm. Plant-based does not mean free from nuts, soy, wheat or other allergens, so discuss those separately.

Highlights: A daily brunch window, approachable plant-based comfort food and a useful East Nashville location.

The BE Hive

East Nashville · Gallatin Avenue

Fully veganDeliSandwichesLunch & dinner

Highlights: House-made vegan deli meats, takeout-friendly service and a fully plant-based menu.

Vegan status	Fully vegan / 100% plant-based, according to the operator.
Address	2414 Gallatin Avenue, Nashville, TN 37206

Vegelicious is the vegan soul-food stop in the guide, with hearty homestyle plates and a dedicated Saturday brunch. The operator explicitly describes its Nashville menu as 100% vegan and highlights gluten-free options.

Before you orderChoose the Nashville location on Fisk Street rather than the Antioch branch. Saturday brunch runs 10am–2pm, but the full menu is also available all day. Ingredient names such as cheese, sausage or chicken refer to vegan preparations here; allergies still need a separate check.

Sunflower Cafe

South Nashville · Azalea Place

Plan your Nashville food stops

Use these as meal-planning ideas, not timed routes. Check your starting point, transport, exact location and current service window before setting out.

Cluster East Nashville

Graze and The BE Hive are both in East Nashville. Compare their meal formats before crossing town for two similar time slots.

Use exact addresses

AVO is in ONEC1TY, Sunflower is on Azalea Place and Vegelicious is on Fisk Street. Save the full address, not just the restaurant name.

Check the live menu

Plant-based proteins, brunch dishes and specials can rotate. Use the operator menu before making a trip for one specific item.

Treat allergies separately

A vegan kitchen can still use nuts, soy, gluten and sesame. Contact the restaurant directly for severe allergy questions.

Research notes & image credit

Checked 19 September 2026. Official restaurant websites, branch pages and operator-linked menus were prioritized. This is desk research, not a claim of personal visits or a live reservation. Opening hours, menus, prices, service formats and availability can change after the research date.

Vegan ingredient descriptions are not allergy or cross-contact guarantees. Mixed kitchens are labeled as such, and uncertain claims are deliberately phrased conservatively.
