A vegan and vegetarian sanctuary, Grins is Nashville's only vegetarian (and kosher) café. It's ideally located on the posh Vanderbilt campus and offers a daily changing menu of internationally inspired foods like Indian-spiced lentils, spinach lasagna, and a variety of salads and sandwiches. A few celebrated and top-notch must-eats are their delicious house-made bread, vegetable Bourride and Handmade Gnocchi with Roasted Mushrooms. With their mission to leave a smile on your face, Grins offers some of the most spectacular vegan cookies and muffins. Just keep in mind that Grins is closed during university breaks, including summer (late April through August).
