We are hard-core carnivores, but we went by the TripAdvisor ratings and checked out this place. For starters, hubby had a Greek salad and I had a small spinach salad. Both were very fresh and delicious. For our entrees, my husband had the lasagna, and I had the eggplant parmesan. Both were fantastic -- especially the marinara sauce. Perfectly seasoned,... More

Don't be put off by this place being vegetarian, it was SO good, really unique & delicious options. We'd do anything to have a place like this available in our hometown. So good and great prices.

I'm not even a vegetarian and I love Sweet Melissa's. I go back for the eggplant parmesan and anything else that includes here homemade marinara sauce. The falafel sliders are a fun way to start a meal and the mushroom stroganoff, when it's on the menu, is incredibly flavorful.

We were driving through Laramie on a very long leg of our vacation, and only got there about 3:00, but without stopping for lunch. We reviewed our Tripadvisor and Urbanspoon apps and decided to find Sweet Melissa Cafe. Fortunately, the restaurant stays open all afternoon, so they were glad to make us some fine melted swiss and portabella sandwiches. Plus... More

We were in Laramie for one night & wanted something different. This was exquisitely different. SM's food is incredibly flavorful. Plus that, they give you a reasonable portion, unlike other vegerarian restaurants I've eaten at. Would certainly go again if ever I'm in a locale where there is a SM's.

The food at Sweet Melissa's is always absolutely wonderful and is never disappointing. Everything from appetizers to desserts is an excellent choice. Service is always pleasant and speedy, with a wonderful atmosphere. The prices are also absolutely amazing- it is completely possible to have a delightful meal and spend a more than reasonable amount on it. Any time we have... More

Since we moved our daughter into the dorm at the University of Wyoming last summer, she's told us a number of times about Sweet Melisa's, and how good the food is. She suggested it Parents' Weekend, and when we drove her back in January. We were very reluctant to eat there because it was a "vegetarian" restaurant, so we ate... More

Very interesting flavors and vegetarian fare. Non-vegetarians will like it and won't even notice that it's vegetarian. Roasted veges, grains, sandwiches, soups, breads, all homemade. I try to come eat here everytime I'm in Laramie.

We had a tasty, hearty meal on a cold night in this funky restaurant in Laramie's downtown. My enchiladas were filled with brown rice and black beans, served with a sour cream sauce, salad and avocado. I would have licked the plate if my daughter's friends hadn't been sitting at another table. Service was good; the place was bustling. Just... More

This restaurant has been a favorite for years. The menu features both light meals and heartier ones that get you through cold and windy days. I think that their main courses are delicious without even considering the lack of meat (I'm a meat-eater). Soups and desserts are delicious. My special favorite is the artichoke dip--best I've had anywhere.
