Went there for lunch today big mistake !After I got handed a mask I watched the managerRich, help 6 customers paying with cash or card all the while no hands were washed.When I request for him to wash his hands before serving me he did so. Carrot cake was dry and bland to which he excused it because it’s gluten free.Waiting 15 minutes for a burger soaked in slaw juice is not a great way to boost the appetite.Sanitation rating was 93 which isn’t all that greatSo when they mandate masks. Make sure you as a customer require them all to wash their hands and get that rating up ! Will not be returning 👍

I used to love this place and go frequently. Today, the quality of the food did not justify the price, then a 10% service charge fee was added, along with tipping… I am a generous tipper, but when you’re busting your own table… filling your own drinks… and the tables are filthy….it makes it hard to leave a tip.. I’m glad to see that mask are required indoors, but….. this is pointless, when other unsanitary stuff is going on. Ex: the dirty spoon container is right next to the clean spoons. This place really needs to work on sanitary practices… I don’t think I will be back after my experience today!

This place was fantastic. The menu is clearly marked for vegans, vegetarians, and those that are gluten-free (but there were still an abundance of options for meat eaters too). The food is delicious and wholesome for a great price. It felt really rich for healthy food. Breakfast, bowls, and sandwiches available. Lots of smoothies, juice, seltzers, and kombuchas available too. Would recommend the breakfast burrito, Pura vida bowl, and the Havana bowl. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available. Speedy and accurate service.

As a wellness junkie, restaurateur from Minneapolis I am always searching for restaurants that align with my way of life when I travel. In my experience its not easy to find an organic, health focused restaurant that meets my expectations. Flavors are often lacking, portions can be skimpy and cleanliness and presentation are often not a priority. My dining experience at Green Sage was beyond perfect in every sense. The staff was jovial, accommodating and welcoming, the atmosphere was fun, the space was clean and the flavors and portions were absolutely perfect. I wish I had a Green Sage back home. Check this place out and support a local business. You wont be disappointed!

I was very disappointed with the cleanliness of this restaurant. You’re required to wear a mask get all the tables are filthy and the cashiers don’t wash their hands in between each guest. I actually asked for my money back because I felt so unhealthy in this place. I was only given part of our bill back I feel like it was a big rip off.

I ate here while traveling to Asheville about a week ago. Good healthy food offerings, especially for those with special dietary requirements and desires. They offer plenty of tasty items containing meat (the bacon is really good here), but, if you eat only organic, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc., then this place will be particularly interesting to you. If you like gravy covered chicken fried steak with your eggs, hash browns and/or biscuits and you dont care about that organic stuff, you might like Dennys or someplace like that better. Personally, I enjoy eating at both kinds of places. As long as the food is good, I eat with a smile. I smiled while I ate here.

I must say very interesting menu. When i saw the menu to me i saw a little bit of different culture, from Costa Rica to India and Argentina.Food is different and very tasteful. From the hash brown to the burrito.Would highly recommend it.

Please update your Google page for correct times and days. We drive all the way over there thinking it was open.

How was my experience at Green Safe Cafe South this morning in Ashville, NC? One word Devine. Why this word? Because the whole business is geared to bring health, support the local vibrant community, with nutrient rich, chemical free, 95% organic locally farmed, and pure food to nourish the body.This sounds like the perfect place everyone would want to dine at and heavenly.Though my experience wasnt surrounded by angels the staff were very friendly, personable, and served exceptional high quality all natural food in a timely manner.When I came up to the front door I could see tables and chairs out front for dining but it was little chilly this morning to try. I could also see right away the business stance on political matters because the windows/ doors had opinion statements in them. When I opened the front door the first thing I see 👀 is a long display of cookies, muffins, and yummy pastries. To the left was a cooler full of in-house cold pressed drinks with all natural ingredients made in house to enjoy. I chose the immune booster that was delicious btw. I just looked at the many assortment and options on the breakfast to lunch menu mounted on the wall high above the counter. Thinking to myself what can I have that is gluten free on this menu? Wait ✋. Everything on this menu is gluten free, dairy free, and all natural. I squilled with glee inside because this is a rare occasion in most cities in the U.S I have traveled.I quickly catch my eye on pancakes because most restaurant dont have gluten free pancakes. As I read my options to get in my pancakes I just say everything and the kitchen sink to the server. She was a little surprised so she made sure I wanted banana 🍌, blueberries 🫐, and granola on my pancakes. I said absolutely with two scrambled eggs and hashbrowns too. I paid and went to look for a seat it was still early so many seats were available at the time. As I walked by the extended out windows I spotted a wood 🪵table with a log for the base and nicely sanded wood top with polyurethane on it with two comfy chairs. As I sat down I looked around the room everything was clean, comfy, and a holistic feel of the place.As my food came out my eyes lit up from glee and it looked amazing. The banana, blueberries, granola pancakes were heavenly. I highly recommend this combination 👌. The eggs 🥚 you could tell from the taste they were fresh farm 🚜 eggs because I grew up eating them. Then the hashbrowns. Im am not sure of all the ingredients but wow they taste good my taste buds were on overdrive savoring every bite.I have to admit my eyes 👀 were bigger than my stomach but wow it was good.If you are in Ashville or just passing through I highly recommend stopping at the restaurant for breakfast or lunch you wont be disappointed I promise.Tell them I sent you

My husband is an omnivore, and Im a gluten free and vegan. This place was able to satisfy both of our cravings and fill our bellies.

We are absolutely blessed to have Green Sage Cafe right in our backyard. They really are an exceptional counter order restaurant. My personal favorite item here is the breakfast egg sandwich. On 2 pieces of locally baked chibata, grilled to perfection. The eggs are Vital Farms pastured raised organic, perfectly scrambled and then the sandwich is finished with a chimney vegonaise.... Ive been by twice in one week to have this sandwich and will return again and again and again and again. I will also try their other dishes but this is whats caught my eye at this time I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone whos looking for great food!!!

Great place to relax with good food/drink and a book or friend! Great staff, clean with lots of outdoor seating. The Green Juice is amazing!!!

This place was really good! I ordered the Appalachian trail. The toast was super good, crispy yet soft. The potatoes were amazing with this wonderful seasoning on them. The bacon and eggs are pretty standard and hard to really mess up. That jam is really really good though! Im glad we decided to stop here for breakfast!

Love! have been here twice- and to their downtown location multiple times. everything is delicious and healthy. well priced. this location has a ton of outdoor seating and super fast service. never a crazy line, either. beer good hiking.

The menu has something for everyone, and I was impressed with the food and service. My son dumped his entire smoothie in his lap and we were treated so kindly to help him clean himself and get him a new smoothie. Very friendly and the food was delicious.

The service was slow. After I had already paid for my meal and had been waiting several minutes, an associate said they needed me to pay. I said I had already done this and it was 10 more minutes before my food came out and the order was wrong. Had to go back in and Im pretty sure, rather than remake the sandwich, they just took the meat off and put the tempeh on it as it only took less than a minute for them to bring it back out to me. After all that trouble, I cant even say the food was worth it...

Came from a long drive from Mount Mitchell. We were from our of town (Canada). John the manager was so kind and helpful. We came just when they closed and still served us! We were so tired, super thankful for such an awesome service!

We came in and it wasn’t busy, but they made sure to tell us twice that the food would be 40 minutes. Then the smoothie was very overpriced for being so underwhelming. The guy offered to add apple juice, but it just wasn’t very good smoothie consistency for $8. Then the food came out with a very long hair mixed in the hash and bacon. They offered to bring new bacon, which was nice, and sure hairs get in food sometimes… but we won’t be coming back.

Very fresh, local ingredients. Healthy options at a reasonable price. Staff was also very friendly. No wait either on a weekend morning which was nice.Would definitely recommend!

EXPENSIVE....15.00 for 2 medium drinks. They also charged me an extra fee just for walking in. SERIOUSLY. The drinks were ok. Starbucks makes a better latte

Horrible experience from start to finish. Waited several minutes just for someone to take our order. Then, the Mocha I ordered came out as a Latte, we ordered several breakfast items and they all came out incorrectly. On top of that, the quality of food and coffee did not justify the price. There are many other places within a few miles that I would much rather go.

Got here at 12:30, ordered at 12:47 with three people in line, it’s 1:25 and my soup and egg sandwich are literally sitting in the window and every employee has walked by it for 10 minutes not serving it. Make your own judgements based on this review.

I would just really like for someone to get back to me about why no one ever answers the phone at this place. It was great when I could order online to pick up, as I’m usually on my way to work or short on time. So now that that feature is no longer available, one has to call for takeout but can never get in touch with anyone. And I don’t mean during the lunch rush, I mean any time, any day. I used to get green sage once a week or so, but have been unable to since they removed the online ordering feature. The food’s great, so it’s a shame for a place that relies so heavily on takeout not to provide their main service. Help!

Delicious drinks and food, all prepared by a lovely crew. I love this café! They have very comfortable seating inside and a nice patio out front. The wifi is fast, making this a great spot to get some work done. Thanks yall!

There was a lot of gluten-free/vegan options for me to try along with baked goods. I would definitely turn my next visit to Asheville its a must stop

Super friendly service and unexpectedly comped us a dish because I was taking my daughter out for breakfast. Avocado toast and lox were also incredibly good!

Delicious food, lots of vegan/vegetarian options!

Delicious fresh food that makes you feel good. The scones are Gluten Free, millet flour I believe. Tons of GF options as well. Ill definitely go back!

Really delicious breakfast food and coffee! The mocha was super tasty as was the breakfast burrito. A great option for breakfast in Asheville, especially if you’re looking for vegetarian and vegan options!

I didn’t enjoy my experience at all. The food, the wait, and the atmosphere was horrible. It was a poor experience all around. I mean it took 45 mins to get a sandwich that looked like it was made in 30 seconds. Even the mimosas were horrible!!!

My wife and I stopped here on our way back to Greenville,SC and I must say….. this place exceeded our expectations. I ordered the kimchi Ruben with tempeh and a side of sweet potato fries. My wife ordered the Zen bowl.The Kimchi Ruben was well seasoned. Not very spicy but well balanced in flavor. The sweet potato fries are the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had. They came out crispy, hot and very lightly salted. They never got soggy but stayed consistent through the whole meal.The Zen bowl came with marinated tofu which was lightly fried to form a crispy outside while maintaining a well seasoned but firm center. The miso ginger sauce tied it all together by taking the entire bowl to a whole new level of flavor. This place definitely deserve another visit as we will be adding it to our favorite places to eat.

I love this spot. Great menu options and pretty affordable. Good working environment.

Love the plant-centric menu and abundance of vegan options. Everything we tried—including the kids’ avocado + hummus sandwich—was incredible! Pretty busy on a Saturday lunch, but we expected that. Will definitely be back next time we’re in Asheville!

Love everything about this place! We stopped here after a weekend of camping and it couldnt have been a more perfect place. The food was spot on for our dietary needs. Amazing vegan and GF options. Highly recommended for anyone with a hungry belly for health conscious foods.

The Green Sage plate in the vegan version was AMAZING! The mushroom gravy was among the best Ive had as was the sauted kale. The roasted root veggies and tofu scramble were also above average. The oat flour based chocolate chip cookie was also super tasty. Highly recommend!

A little pricey but I think it’s worth it for the unique and flavorful menu with healthy ingredients. I love this place for a healthy breakfast or lunch any day. Staff is friendly.

I really liked my food and the menu options! I have such a limited amount things I can eat and I liked I had somewhere to go. The only thing was I ordered a sandwich with no chimmayo and reg Mayo instead. They did that but I take a bite and can take the garlic (which is super dangerous for me to consume) they had put the chimmayo on first and then wiped it off but it was still in the bread. I of course got a new sandwich and they apologized but he said “they didn’t know it was that strong of a reaction” I feel they should take every substitution that seriously because they don’t know.And I went to go back another day to eat and they were closed. Drove 20 minutes out of the way and it wasn’t posted online anywhere. Just a sign that said they were closed due to staffing issues. Which I understand but yet wasn’t posted.

A little bit pricy, but the food is very good. I had the farmers omelet which was as youd expect for an omelet, but the homemade root hash and ciabatta toast are the stars of the show.

Always a good choice. As a vegitarian, I like the pancakes (add walnuts and fruit) and the avacado toast

This place was amazing. Falafel Burger was great. Good gluten free and vegan options

Horrible service and quality. messed up our order not once but twice and proceeded to get an attitude when asked to fix it. mind you it wasn’t a hard order, a latte with two pumps of mint, shouldn’t be hard for a coffee shop. They mixed up three drinks and served food cold. 100% disappointing and not worth the price at all -which is quite a lot for an under average place. i’m usually very understanding when it comes to customer service but this place was just straight up rude about everything.

In town briefly. Was looking for something a little different. Stumbled upon this place and afterwards was absolutely thrilled we did!! This place is incredible!! The best food, great atmosphere. If ever back in town will visit again hands down. My wife and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!

Wonderful vegan and even fodmaps and gluten friendly. Great food for those not burdened by such delicacies too.

Stopped here while we were in town for breakfast. Food and service was terrific. Definitely a recommend and worth the stop while you are visiting. Fresh food from the farm that is delicious. The hibiscus tea is good too.

Breakfast is out of this world!! I ordered the Lox sandwich on ciabatta bread and wow, was it good! With such an intriguing menu, it was difficult to narrow down my decision but I was very happy with my choice. My husband ordered a breakfast plate with a side pancake which came with a delectable strawberry jam. Our lattes were perfect- I selected the seasonal peppermint mocha latte and loved every sip. Everyone working at Green Sage Cafe was extremely welcoming and friendly- it’s clear that they genuinely love to serve and have a passion for their mission. I hope to return very soon.

This place held me when I when I found myself having to live in a hotel for a month after leaving an unsafe Airbnb situation. The hotel didn’t have a full restaurant to support me so Green Sage fully and completely supported me for the month. The food is in alignment with my food values and beliefs. I never had to worry about not receiving the highest quality healthiest food. The staff was soo supportive of my situation and always was the most delightful to chat with and offer suggestions for me of things in the area. I found a home that supported my journaling sitting on the patio. I was never rushed or never without a table no matter how busy the cafe was. There is a true divine flow happening there. The fellow other patrons were gracious and I found divine connections that led me to remind you to believe in miracles. They are real and Green Sage is a magical place if you are open to the experience. My deepest gratitude to the staff at Green Sage in South Asheville for graciously accommodating and nourishing me in the highest for the month of July.

Just went in for pancakes. I didnt realize it was kind of a health food place? Which is fine, but pancakes tasted a little off, probably wheat or buckwheat pancakes. Had the ginger lemonade and it had so much Ginger I couldnt drink it without my nose burning. Its great if thats the kind of food youre into

Barista was friendly. Nice and mostly clean place. Table had crumbs left over for not sure how long. Oat milk mocha was pretty good.

Fresh yummy options and super vegan-friendly.

They are so wonderful! The food is amazing and the staff are extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend! If I could give 20 stars I would!

Nice place, free WiFi seating with outlets at many seats.

Good food. Fantastic golden milk latte and golden milk milkshake. Clean place, good atmosphere. Would definitely return!

This is the quintessential spot for healthly and sustainable lunch options in Asheville. Green Sage offers a wide variety of menu options for those who want to eat vegan or just have healthy options. The bowls are phenomenal! The environment is warm and inviting. The service is consistently friendly and welcoming.

Just not sure how this place is in business with the dollar point and portions. This was $37.

Searching for tasty, healthy, unique food offerings...it is here!!!

Clean environment and simple, tasty, organic food. You get what you pay for!

Lots of great tasting plant-based meal options! My favorite is the Zen Bowl, I could eat this everyday for lunch.

Came from Ga, Mountains for a getaway weekend! We love coffee and trying new places when away! So we gave this place a try and it was great! We had a couple different pastries to try and all were excellent! The coffee was pretty great! I am use to a little stronger flavoring, but it was still good! 100% recommend to give this a try!

I ordered the TLT with sweet potato fries- omg. Where has this sandwich been all of my life? The service was great- and the sandwich even better! Will be back again, very soon!

Most delicious plAce! Wish they had vegan pancakes but their plethora of other vegan options kept us coming back during our visit to Asheville. Vegan biscuit with tempeh bacon, tofu scramble and beet juice was my favorite! Breakfast and lunch served all day!

Their desserts really good. In case youre wondering what the Medicine Ball is... Its a chocolate energy ball with lots of flavors.

Ive not had many things here, but I have gone out of my way on multiple occasions to grab a mocha coconut shake (could not tell you if thats what theyre officially called). Theyre the way I treat myself when Im in Asheville (I live in Brevard); even limped in fresh out of foot surgery once. So far, every employee interaction has been friendly and helpful. This location always looks clean and from what I could tell during my last visit, theyre doing well with covid safety measures. 👍 All the way.

I have lived nearby for over a year, this location is always sorely understaffed and completely disregards phone calls for carry out orders. There’s one person working the cash register and a line of people. Soooo aggravating..... Don’t come here unless you have a ton of time to blow.

This place is AMAZING! The food is phenomenal and the staff and atmosphere couldnt be better. I stop here every time Im in town.

Wonderful food for very reasonable prices. I had a ginger lemonade and Pura Vida bowl. Both were very delicious. I thought it was cool that the whole menu was available all day long.

Havana bowl add avocado, delicious

Good locally roasted coffee. Friendly service. Very clean and modern while still working to be environmentally responsible.The food though. So good! We had the breakfast burrito and the avocado wild lox sandwich. Both were amazing! Sweet potatoes in the burrito--nice touch. Very fresh ingredients. The smoked salmon was delicious!

I love everything here, I keep coming back and trying something new and always happy with what I get :)

Good healthy breakfast

We had a wonderful lunch here before driving the blue ridge parkway. Excellent real food - both vegan and not. The Tigris bowl was fantastic. Service was also friendly and prompt. And their coronavirus practices are on point. Highly recommend!

Food was good, a little pricey. Customer service was fine.

Downhill since they lost the biscuit. Havent been in years and the food was meh. Not the go to it once was when visiting Asheville.

Very cozy atmosphere with great healthy food. Got an avocado salmon sandwich and was flat out amazing!

I have to say that this is one of the most well oiled machine’s a.k.a. food establishments in South Asheville.Virginia and the store manager I think his name is Michael are absolutely some of the most professional, hard-working individuals I think I’ve ever encountered.The rest of the staff is also very pleasant, the food is consistent, healthy and made with love.I’m in the store approximately 325 times a year if not more and I must really praise Virginia for being so consistent, sweet, friendly, did I say predictably consistent!She really makes my experience at the store worthwhile and she is bringing 110% every single day.I mean and I have never seen this woman have a bad day.She is truly the face of the store and I would likely quit visiting this establishment should she no longer be present.

Excellent coffee! And amazing breakfast burritos!

Even though the app to order food wasn’t working, they make up for it with the quality of their food. The reason for the 4-stars is because they have messed up multiple orders of mine in the past. They always make it right, but sometimes an annoying thing to do multiple times. People are very friendly and willing to go above and beyond.

This place is great for something healthy, something fresh, and something new.Great ingredients, fresh and tasty.Love this place.

Food was quick and delicious. great service

Great vegan food and friendly staff.

Ordered the vegan rueben and Tigris bowl. They did such a nice job! It can be hard to find good vegan food (with options), they did it well

Coffee and food good. Kitchen staff yelling and screaming. Can hear them all over the dining area. Nonstop for hours. Hurts the atmosphere. Maybe just a bad day.

Excellent and tasty food. Friendly service. Coffee is nice too. I was in Asheville for three days and went to Green Sage everyday.

Wonderful organic breakast with fresh non-GMO ingredients & friendly service at the Green Sage Cafe South. Wish we had this in Indianapolis!They even had a custom home made chocolate sauce for the Mocha coffee! YUMMY!Great breakfast after virwing the @biltmoreestate last night with their Christmas decor and live Christmas music!..#WhereIsMeeker #greensageasheville#bringingtech2you #BiltmoreEstate #biltmore #biltmorewinery #tourism#socialmediamarketing#digitalmarketing#socialmedia#marketing#branding#business#seo#contentmarketing#socialmediamarketingtips#socialmediamarketingstrategy#greensagecafe#socialmediamarketingworld#ashevillenc#socialmediamarketingstrategist#ashevillefood#socialmediamarketingstrategies#socialmediamarketingtip#socialmediamarketingconsultant#socialmediamarketingcoach#northcarolina#socialmediamarketingpro#socialmediamarketingfirm

Excellent food and service. Coffee is on point and they’re adhering to strict social distancing.

Amazing place, my absolute favorite! If you have a dairy or gluten allergy, this place is for you. It is the only restaurant/cafe where I have found a gluten free and vegan biscuit. Everything I have had there is so delicious! Salmon burgers, breakfast sandwiches, kale slaw...All so satisfying! Thank you, Green Sage for existing and caring about nutritious and ethical food!

Pancakes like my Mamas...just a lil crispy. 🥰

Healthy and delicious vegetarian items can be tough to find in this area, but Green Sage delivers. They have great coffee too!

Good quality food, excellent coffee, this id our to go place for good brunch. If you want something fun to eat, I recommend Green Sage Cafe.

Delicious food and vegan/vegetarian friendly which is a huge plus for me!

Wonderful food with amazing flavors. Friendly service. Great coffe and ginger lemonade. Vegan options are wonderful.

Ive only tried the smoothies here so far, but they are very delicious and filling.

Good, heathy menu. Tasty food, nice patio and fresh smoothies.

Great, healthy food and coffees

Excellent spot for delicious health food. Food was so tasty. Service treated us so kindly. The bill was fair I would say. Atmosphere is similar to a cafe in San Jose I loved.

Stopped in for breakfast. Order at the counter, given our drinks and food delivered to the table. Food was fresh. Breakfast burrito was very tasty and filling. Avacodo toast was delicious.

We went here for the first time the other day and really enjoyed our lunch! The KimChi Reuben was so delicious. Great food selections, customer service and fair price. Megan

Unique recipes and you can taste how fresh all the food is

I love this place!! Very relaxing cafe with so many interesting options. I got a hazelnut latte and it was delicious. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. This is such a nice place to come and chill after work.

Great food. Fast service.

Green Sage is a great spot for healthier food. We both got the Turkey Club and it was fantastic! The sweet potato chips are also the best Ive had. They seem to be very environmentally minded with recycling and composting trash bins inside. The staff was very warm and friendly as well. For those with simpler or more traditional food tastes, I would advise looking at the menu before heading here.
