Sunshine Natural Foods — Restaurant in Grants Pass

Thanks so much! My experience at Sunshine was out of this world!! Making our way from Vancouver down to the California/Mexico border was such an adventure filled with good times and some of the tastiest foods we've ever eaten. Being a strict vegan has often been difficult to accommodate while on the road though. The vegetarian restaurant that is inside Sunshine Natural Foods was exactly what I hope to find whenever I'm looking for a great vegetarian meal. The salad bar had so many options, I think the diakon/makame salad was my favorite. Not knowing when we'd come across another gem like this vegetarian restaurant, we ordered a few sandwich's to take on the road as well. I also have to mention the amazing vegan marble pound-cake that was so moist I almost didn't believe it was egg free, wow! They sure know how to do it right there at Sunshine!!

Coming through Southern Oregon during its peak pollen season was an extra challenge, but thanks to the recommendation from Rob at Sunshine my hay-fever had begun to subside by the time we had finished lunch. :-)

Thanks again, we'll be sure to come in whenever we pass through...in fact I'll have to make sure our travel plans include a meal or two in...

They have all the specialty items I love and need. Things I can't find at big supermarkets, organic bulk items, herbs and supplements to support health, treats, essential oils, organic produce, local fresh eggs, chipotle veganaise (a favorite of mine, always in stock). I bought an essential oil diffuser from them too. And their salad bar and smoothies are wonderful. The thing that really keeps me coming back is the rewards program. I get points every time I bring in my canvas bag, and for every purchase. I earned $25 to spend there just from buying the normal things I need!

The staff is always amazingly attentive while still being low key, and there is an air of respect and acknowledgement among the small isles. One thing that really makes them stand out is that the staff is trained to be aware of the supplements and herbs and what they are helpful for, so that they can assist customers who come in needing help finding things for specific ailments. Superb!

I will be a customer here as long as I am living in Southern Oregon. Thank you for what you...

All three stars are for their products and food. Love everything they carry. I have since moved out of the area but when I lived in Grants Pass I tried to eat there as much as I could stand. But, Rob, the owner, was so very rude to me every-time I went in, and it made me feel so awful. I have no idea why he was rude to me as everyone seemed to like him in town. I have always been respectable towards him and came in with nothing but a smile and maybe a couple questions. My parents loved this place as well and they have always gotten along with him so this surprised all of us. He was always short with me and seemed to be bothered even by just my presence in the store. Because I loved their food so much, I remember trying to go in when he wasn’t there just so I didn't have to feel tension. Even times I would drive by in hopes of him not being there, and in realizing he was I would go somewhere else. I do not know if anyone else has had this experience with him? Anyways, the food and products and even the rest of the staff should be a 5...
