Grins Menu

Nashville's oldest vegetarian cafe is also Certified Kosher!*

Grins Vegetarian Cafe is located on the Vanderbilt University campus with enough parking to make it accessible to non university folks as well. We are located in the Shulman Center for Jewish Life.

Grins offers a daily changing menu of internationally-inspired foods that will satisfy eaters of all types. Some days we serve spinach lasagna, other days it's Indian-spiced lentils and veggies and once in-a-while we just do some good ole comfort food.

The every day menu includes grilled sandwiches, a variety of salads and vegan cookies and muffins that are so good you'll forget it's not that bad for you.

* Kosher Certification provided by Rabbi Saul Strosberg from Congregation Sherith Isreal.
