Copper Branch Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurant

I've had the opportunity to visit this place twice, and I must say that my initial experience left much to be desired. It felt rather bland and unremarkable. However, on my second visit, I found myself regretting not giving the food a chance because it turned out to be absolutely amazing. First and foremost, what sets this place apart is the fact that it is entirely vegan. They offer a diverse range of delectable options, including burgers, wraps, pizza, and incredible smoothies. Inside, you'll find plenty of seating available. When it comes to parking, it's worth noting that there isn't an abundance of space. Personally, I parked at the library garage, which conveniently offers parking validation. By visiting the library, you can obtain 1.5 hours of free parking--an excellent option to consider. Don't let my initial impression deter you. Give their exceptional food a chance, and you won't be disappointed. Despite the parking situation, this place is truly worth a visit for its vegan delights. More...

It was nice to find a great lunch option in downtown Nashville near my office that offered healthier options. This was my 1st time trying it since returning to work in person. I love the burgers and oven-baked fries, the seasoning on them rocks. More...

I asked for additional utensils as the guy handed me my to go bag and he replied “I think I’ve given you enough.” I get to my next location to eat and the spoons and forks were exposed in the bag and spotted with dried food and a hair on one of them.

My only complaint was a longer wait than expected. The food was great Vegan pizza and a breakfast sandwich. While I waited there was decent local country music playing. Server was swift and attentive. I would go here again. More...

My family eats here all the time and we love enjoying our meals on their patio so we can people-watch in downtown Nashville. The staff was friendly and brought our food out on time and are always helpful. The library also validated our parking which was nice amenity. More...

I want to leave a 1 star but trying not be real extreme. The poor review is mostly from the service. 1. I ordered a power bowl that was supposed to have tempeh, rice, avocado, and beans. It came with only lettuce, broccoli, and carrots. When I went to ask the employee admitted that she's didn't have the ingredients so didn't add them. She tried to just see if we would say something or not. I wouldn't have cared if she had just told us and I would have ordered something else. 2. The drinks were listed for for $2.99 yet was charged $5.50 really aggravating to have prices that are that inaccurate. 3. Although I typically don't like to complain about price as businesses have the right to charge what they want for their product I don't think the food is worth the price. Nearly $20 after tax for the Nashville hot sandwich puts it at probably the most expensive sandwich in all of Nashville. 4. The live music was so loud in the small place I could barely hear my self think. Some people like this but I personally would like to converse with my family while eating but was unable to due to the live music blasting. The good1. The food was good but with the poor service and higher price I don't think I would ever return. More...

Happy to see the variety of vegan options in Nashville and this was my first copper branch experience, but I was not impressed with the service. The majority of the servers were carnivores, and actually had a bit of an attitude serving of vegan food. They were not knowledgeable about some of the choices, not paid attention to the orders. For instance, I ordered an item to go to eat later, it was served in a bowl with sauce all over it. Meanwhile, people in my party were given their meals in to go containers, instead of dine in dishes. Instead of remaking the dish as requested, the server stated " I've got a way to handle this" and then put the sauced bowl in a to go box. $24 for a small " mushroom" pizza which had 2 tablespoons of mushrooms on it, and other dishes were brought out lukewarm ( we were the only customers). The food was decent, but the service was not impressive. More...

Very poor service and overpriced food. Food took forever and we were the only customers at the time. $24 mushroom pizza had a tiny amount of mushrooms and was mostly cheesy bread. I've eaten at other locations and this was one was not up to par. More...

Ordered a spicy black bean burger with sweet potato cubes... what I got was spicy chicken sandwich with regular cold fries. When I pointed it out to the server his immediate response was, " oh my bad". Then he said, " it's our most ordered item and is delicious ". I had been in class all day and had not eaten and did not want to wait another half hour for the right order bc the two folks with would have long been done, and I was hungry. It was mediocre at best. I felt as though they couldn't have cared less. Probably will not return. More...

I don't make a habit of leaving bad reviews - but if you're a vegan looking for good food, save yourself some money. It's an expensive restaurant- I couldn't finish my sandwich. My husband got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and it was a little better but super dry! And the fries were really sad. I hate spending money on a mediocre meal. However the service was pretty good. More...

we stepped in for breakfast and were excited about all of the options being plant based people. The space is great, the menu is exciting, but we are hesitant to come back and try anything else. Leaving the disappointment we are feeling aside, here are the facts of our dining experience: the food took exactly 42 minutes to come out (breakfast bagel, breakfast tacos), the food was stone cold and seemingly old/not fresh. We ordered lattes, which did not come out with our food, we had to request them to go. The staff were nice, but not enough to make up for the long wait (with very few other customers) and the cold food. More...

I've eaten here twice, and the food is just phenomenal! I love that you can order from this Yelp app, as well - very convenient. They always have the order ready way ahead of time, too. Folks who work there are always nice, and I love eating out on their patio. A hidden gem near enough to the hubbub of Broadway to walk from there, but far away enough that the trashy loud tourists won't be swamping every inch of your personal space. Bonus: it's next to the library! So if you're a bookworm like me, you can grab delicious food and get a library run in all in the same trip - I approve! This place is definitely on my list of Nashville favorites. More...

I started a little wary, not expecting much since it's mostly prepared foods (Just egg, etc), but the combined flavors REALLY hit the spot to start our Nash trip! Hubby got the Ultimate, and I had the Just egg Wrap (minus the cheese since I'm watching my oils, and they were great enough to put the South West sauce on the side). Both were super filling, good sized portions, served hot, and very tasty. We'll be back for sure! More...

I've been here twice. The first time was a carry out order, and it was great - the food was delicious, hot, and ready on time. Great experience. I came a second time with my friend visiting from out of town (she's vegan and I wanted to take her to restaurants she could eat anything at). The service was so slow. There weren't many people, maybe 3 other tables. I ordered before my friend, but she got her food first (her meal was missing ingredients though). After 30 minutes, I go up to the counter to nicely ask the 2 employees (who weren't doing anything) how much longer my order would take. These two employees flat out IGNORED me because they were both on their own cell phones face timing their friends. I finally flag down an employee from the kitchen who is running out food and ask her about my order. She apologized and quickly made my food for me. She was very nice and brought us desserts too, so she saved the day. Unfortunately, I was afraid to eat too much because after seeing those other employees on their phones behind the counter next to ingredients for the bowls, I was unsure about the cleanliness. I didn't see a manager in to speak with and just wanted to leave after my friend finished her meal. I wanted to love this place, but I won't be returning. Advice to management: find good staff that will actually work and won't ignore the paying customers! More...

I had the Nashville Hot Chicken inspired sandwich with fries, and a chocolate brownie. The sandwich was big and very good! I had to keep looking at it to make sure it wasn't meat. Unfortunately the fries were badly undercooked. They were seasoned so well it was a bummer they didn't cook them optimally. The brownie was chocolate rich and tasty. Overall, a wonderful experience!

SO SLOW! Staff acted like we were an inconvenience. Wait was incredibly ridiculous. For the cost ($45 for 2 small power bowls) we expected excellent service. It is so hard to find decent vegan restaurants so we were excited to find Golden Branch but will never go back and will NOT recommend. POOR SERVICE!! More...

Serious kitchen staff problems. I'm there at 5 pm on a Wednesday with very few customers. I order and wait. No food is coming out at all and no one else ordered. Again, restaurant is empty and I wait 20 min until cold, oily, limp fries along with a cold beet burger. They were out of the Bennie. When the server delivered it...it looked unappetizing. She came back a minute later with a side sauce and I told her I wasn't eating it. I took a picture and walked up to the counter to tell the manager that it doesn't make sense to wait 20 min for a cold dish when there is no one else in the restaurant and no other dishes being served or packaged to go. I told Joe, the manager, he has a kitchen staff problem. Whether he chooses to fix it or not is up to him. I'm not spending any more money there until the prep and cook staff and process are improved. More...

worst vegan food tasted ever. we had ordered Aztec bowls and specifically ordered to go as we were in a hurry. they took a long time to deliver our food and that too to eat there. All this was bearable if the food at least was good. God the food was bland without any taste and the cook was getting trained by the looks of it. We just gobbled up the food as we had paid an awful lot of money. I will never again come here nor recommend this joint to any Vegan friend of mine. More...

This is a hard review to write because as a vegan I want to celebrate every place that's catering to plant focused eaters, but this place whiffed in a couple big ways. Pros: The pepperoni pizza was solid, the mushroom burger tasty, and the sweet potato side was amazing.Cons: When I ordered the Keto bowl I was given no optionality, and as a first timer didn't know I had any, yet what came was on soba noodles (which were disgusting), rock hard dry tempeh, also disgusting, and a tasteless sauce. Finally the service was terrible. When I was done I asked the worker where best to dispose of the pizza box since it was larger than the garbage hole and he said "I don't know" then looked away. Ok.

Had the Copper Deluxe burger with poutine. Burger was tasty, but didn't have enough of the toppings. So it was basically just the patty on a bun. The poutine was terrible. The French fries were not even cooked thoroughly. The sauce tasted like refried beans, which was okay but not good enough to make up for the fries. The staff was mostly friendly. Was my first time there, so I would give them another chance, especially to support plant based. More...

Great food, great staff, and able to accommodate just about any dietary restriction.I stopped in for dinner and breakfast during the same week. I was surprised at how good the food was. The Shiitake Teriyaki Burger was tasty with a nice combination of textures. The Field Roast and Just Egg Sandwich made for a great breakfast. My wife go the Avocado Toast, substituting a gluten-free Pumpernickel Bagel in place of the usual bread. It was delicious. The cinnamon roll was good but not great, but I would have never guessed it was vegan.When we stopped in for breakfast a few days after having dinner here, the woman behind the counter (who provided fantastic customer service in general) remembered our order from a few nights prior including my wife's substitutions for gluten-free requirements. Impressive!They are very flexible with modifications, so you can customize your order based on your dietary requirements.I think it is worth noting that this restaurant is focused on creating foods that you wouldn't guess were actually vegan. The "JUST Egg" product, for example, is a very convincing egg replacement. However, the ingredient list makes it sound a bit like a chemistry project. So I'm sure Copper Branch doesn't represent the absolute healthiest meal option, but they do create some impressive food that is tasty and that I don't think most would necessarily realize was vegan.
