Most Disliked
While Daisy's Catering Cafe has many fans, a few critiques arise. Limited seating can lead to wait times, especially during busy hours like Friday dinner rushes. Some guests might find it challenging to secure a table during peak times, as 5 PM on Fridays peaks at full capacity. Additionally, not having regular menu items on Sundays can be disappointing for those who prefer specific dishes.
Occasionally, customers express that they would like to see more variety in certain sections of the menu, or more traditional comfort dishes. While the atmosphere is often described as cozy, some may wish for a more upscale dining environment. Lastly, while most parts of the dining experience shine, the limited restroom availability can be a hassle during busy periods.

What a great find - ALL THINGS VEGAN! Very diverse menu: Soul food, appetizers, sandwiches/burgers, salads, wraps, smoothies, desserts & sea moss. The onion rings are authentically seasoned 👌🏾 and the eggplant sandwich gave me burger vibes. Much appreciated! Family friendly environment. Limited seating (buffets) & Restrooms available. They have water on standby. Look forward to visiting again 😋 Thank you for your service!

The food is seasoned PERFECTLY and it is served hot when it's supposed to be hot and cold when it is supposed to be cold. The food is so delicious!!! 🤤 The staff is very friendly, courteous and professional. I loved this!!

LOVED this place! It is a hidden gem! Ordered the dinner special that came with choice of 4 sides from the line, hot water cornbread, soup or salad. Worth the $20!!!! Everything ordered was perfectly seasoned and filling! Hearing the history of this place and favorite dishes from regulars that visited every week was also an added bonus! Can’t wait to come back!

Wow, I am a regular consumer of vegan food (I’m not vegan) and this is by far the best! I went on a Sunday and didn’t know that they don’t have their regular menu on Sunday’s. Instead, they have a soul food bar. I got the bowl in which you can get whatever you want. The employee hooked me up and gave me a little bit of everything. My faves were the veggie medley, the bbq tofu, THE MAC N CHEESE AND PEACH COBBLER!! best I’ve ever had in my life, vegan or not. If it wasn’t so far I would have been back by now. 10/10 would recommend.

I really enjoyed my experience here. I visited on the first Sunday of September. Every first Sunday they offer their vegan soul food plate that came with: Vegan Roast, Dressing with gravy, macaroni and cheese, greens, candied yams, a choice between orange lentil soup or salad (I ate the soup) and peach cobbler for desert. A very nice portion size and with tax it was $24.80 I believe. You get your monies worth. I also ordered the citrus splash detox smoothie OMG phenomenal and I don’t think I got the name correct but they will know what you are talking about if you ask about it. The photos I posted are: Sunday Breakfast: Vegan Protein, Eggs, Broccoli, Pancakes, with the choice of Grits or Hashbrowns. Thanksgiving Dinner: Pot Roast, Dressing, Macaroni N Cheese, Greens, Greenbeans, candied yams, peach cobbler, and chili $35 a plate. Extremely long wait to get food even with being called In. I also enjoyed the jerked tofu tacos. They have amazing flavor. The fish sandwich is great as well. They give you two tofu Patties. It’s too much for me I only need one. They are very good with portion sizes. You may be waiting at this place. It’s worth it. I recommend this place. Another AUTHENTIC vegan restaurant that has products that are good for your mind, body, and soul. I love the huge variety of menu items offered on the other days. Wholeness and Infinite Love To You Always!

As soon as i walked in, i knew i needed to be there. This is a great environment for any time of the day. It smelled amazing, clean, earthy vibes all right up my alley. The menu consists of a variety which iLOVED! Instead of getting the already made hot food that was calling me… i chose bbq tips with lentil soup for the side along with a veggie stir fry. WHAT A GREAT DECISION. The gentleman was so patient with me which iAppreciate since I don’t like being rushed. The flavors were amazing together and individually. iCook yet I’ll choose Daisy’s to cook for me any day 🥳🤤🌱 Next time I’ll dine in and bring my Hebrew Study books 😎
