Alternatives to Sweet Tomatoes

Another vote for Panera Bread. Recommend their broccoli soup, very tasty.

I tend to order fruit as the side with breakfasts and a Publix has got fantastic fresh produce too, maybe it’s easier as we tend to self cater but I genuinely don’t find eating well, and not fried greasy fast food, too difficult

Yes! I never understood the difficulty finding healthier foods is US either. I always have a side of vegetables. Often restaurants offer a salad bar as well. The greasy fried foods are all available but I've never struggled to get well over my "5 a day".

Sorry to be ignorant pandera bread where is this? Will be going to Florida for the first time in about 10 years and am vegan now so sad about sweet tomatoes but also very happy just to chow on a bag of salad just want to know we can go!

There are several branches depends where you will be staying, have a look at their website for location nearest to you

panerabread/en-us/cafe-locator.html
and enter Orlando or Kissimmee etc and you will get a list and map

No recommendations, but is there any possibility of Sweet Tomatoes being rescued/bought out etc? We loved it there, will miss it a lot, I’m not a big meat eater, so the salad and soup was perfect for me.

Far too late for that. They were in trouble before the pandemic and completely shut about a year ago. The ones Dibbers were familiar with in the Orlando area may have been popular but the model no longer worked elsewhere.

As a family of vegetarians (including a VERY fussy DD7), we are absolutely gutted about it closing. Even more so because I bought a $50 gift card last time I was there because you got 2 free meals with it!

We too loved ST, it was a very good value buffet type restaurant. I hope someone comes up with a similar idea.

Never been to one but will definitely be giving it a try next year assuming the Orlando locations will be open by then, with three vegans in the family Sweet Tomatoes was a firm favourite which we already miss! crispandgreen/locations/

There menu looks quite similar to Greebeat mentioned above although that is just a counter in a food court. The prices look far more sustainable than the All You Can Eat at Sweet Tomatoes. The model looks far more modern and appealing to me. I always found the non salad bar items at SW mostly disappointing. Healthy salad with all you can eat pizza, soft serve and sloppy desserts seemed an odd combination to me at times. That is exactly why my kids liked it though!
