After trying to find somewhere to grab some breakfast we ran into this restaurant. It was a great choice! With many fresh, vegan, and healthy options it was hard to decide what to get. Everything was very good and quick too.

Definitely my kind of food and culture. They encourage sustainability and eating healthy. Lots of vegan choices and tasty healthy choices.The service was a little salty. The staff needs to work on humility.Parking is very limited if you can even find any so prepare for a walk.Decent amount of tables and ok bathrooms.The food was excellent and I enjoyed every bite.

I ate the kimchi Reuben with sweet potato fries. Take it from a kimchi lover it was an amazing sandwich. John working the register was amazing !!!

This is a cute cafe with a little vibe, but its bigger than it looks! Plenty of seating indoors, even with social distancing. They also do a great job of keeping everyone clean and safe. They compost and recycle all the waste, overall very mindful business. The food was very good! Each item had that one little extra thing on it that makes you go Wow, thats good! the everything avocado toast had fresh bread, well seasoned, egg cooked perfectly, and the pork bacon was top of the line 👌🏼 the breakfast burrito was flavorful and filling. The Root Hash in it was unique but really made the dish. The green day smoothie was a perfect start to breakfast. The huckleberry was a delicious lighter choice. Overall wonderful food, atmosphere, and staff!

Good breakfast spot. My husband had the Appalachian trail plate and I had the spinach goat sandwich as well as black coffee and tea.Staff were very friendly and we had a nice start to the morning sitting at the sidewalk tables. My husband said the coffee was fine, but nothing very special. A little expensive food-wise for the portion size, but they do try to do locally sourced foods, which is appreciated. Would return in the future if I was looking for a more gourmet fast-casual breakfast

Right across from my hotel and delicious! I got the Pure Vida Bowl but got a slightly smaller serving as the burrito option! YUM! It was so good! Still a large portion almost could not finish it! Nice people!

The service man at the front is so special. Takes time to answer all questions and make unique suggestions! The food was so good I forgot to take a photo. The coffee and latte were superb! Thanks for an amazing breakfast ✨

The selection of vegetarian, vegan, and Gluten Free options were mind blowing! I love that everything here is locally grown & organic - not to mention the breakfast burrito was delicious!I also appreciate that their straws are plant-based and 100% compostable. Just another way local shops like Green Sage are taking steps to help reduce waste. They even will take back your used Green Sage bottles to go towards conservation efforts.

Overall tasty restaurant! Very friendly staff and great vegan and gluten free options. I highly recommend the Kimchi Reuben with Tempeh.

This place is awesome! Everything that I have had from them was amazingly fresh! We originally went in to get Cappuccino but decided to eat here when we saw the menu! Needless to say, that was the right call! First off, the Cappuccino is the best that I have ever had outside of Italy!The Breakfast Burrito was very large and delicious! The Egg Ciabatta was very nice with Vital Farms eggs, chimmimayo and served on locally baked ciabatta bread.The Kimchi Reuben was out of this world good! I ordered the turkey version. It was very filling as well!The Pura Vida Bowel was healthy, filling and delicious! It had two sunny side up Vital Farms egg, black beans, sautéed kale and onion, too hash (unbelievably good), brown rice, guacamole and a side of salsa verde.One thing not to miss is Red Lentil Indian Sambar with toasted coconut garnish. The flavors were layered and very deep! I spent some time in Southern India and this sambar is better than any I had there!This place is quintessential Asheville and is NOT to be missed!

Amazing breakfast menu, lots of healthy options. Clean place with friendly staff, Ill be back tomtry everything.

Everything is so fresh!!Whatever you get is good I really recommend this place for breakfastAlso the coffee is very good! One of the best places around here try this place you wont regret!!!!

Healthy options, fresh cold-pressed drinks, organic coffee, and gluten-free options!

Avocado Wild Lox sandwich was absolutely delicious, as was the coffee. They are being very responsible with COVID precautions, and I really appreciate that. The baristas were working very hard and gave great service!

I can’t say enough good stuff about this place! The staff was so friendly and their food was the fuel for my weekend! I stopped in everyday during my trip because it was too good to pass up. I ended up favoring the vegan breakfast burrito, although everything was great! Thank you!

Delicious healthy food, a little overpriced though. You enjoy eating and dont feel guilty, lol. I had soup & salad, amazing! They are very environmentally conscious, have specific trash cans for specific types of trash. They respec tthe business reduded capacity due to Covid 19 pandemic, by controlling the number of people eating in and take outs and social distancing.

We LOVED this place. Everything was kept well cleaned and organized. Ordering was efficient, employees were friendly and provided great customer service. The space was open with large windows and natural light, yet somehow cozy. They had delicious vegetarian, vegan, and non-veg options for breakfast/brunch and lunch. They value sustainability and community- the self bussing station was easy to find and clearly labeled with a compost and recycling center. Everything we ate was top notch and made from scratch in house. I would eat here everyday if I could.

Went in to grab a coffee, ordered a vanilla mint latte with almond milk. Thought more from this place since I had ordered delicious breakfast in the past and it was very good. The coffee wasn’t too great at all! My fiancé also ordered a cookie and didn’t realize it was gluten free and vegan, we looked later and it was in very small print, not very noticeable. Not the best experience, we couldn’t finish our lattes because they just weren’t the best and not worth what we paid. Would like to go back and get some lunch items but left disappointed.

This place is great! The staff pays close attention to detail while ordering. We had breakfast and it was fabulous. The tastes and texture complement each other.

I absolutely love this restaurant! Everyone who works here is so nice and friendly. The best thing I ordered was the TLT and coconut mocha milkshake, definitely get both of those!

While the service was very friendly and we appreciated that the spot was open early so that we could grab a quick breakfast and get on the road, their execution on egg biscuits was very underwhelming. They looked fantastic, the taste just wasn’t there though. I would’ve liked a sharp cheddar cheese or pepper Jack to add more flavor, which was an option, I just don’t tend to order them on breakfast biscuits in the morning. They had a great iced tea selection of multiple flavors, but no soft drinks for my other half who wanted a caffeinated Coke a cola option early in the morning. If we had been staying in and dining there, I definitely would have ordered one of the breakfast bowls which looked fantastic. I would give this place another visit in the future, believing that their more healthful items and vegetarian and vegan options are definitely where they shine as opposed to the breakfast biscuits.

Great atmosphere! All the food and drinks were good but very earthy. I got the chai and liked it but only drank about half of it

Delicious, nutritious food made quickly. Nice people. I walked from a nearby hotel & it was well worth it! Keep up the great work.

This is why I love Asheville: I can find somewhere healthy to within the first five minutes of being in Asheville.

Amazing amazing food and coffee. Super friendly staff, clean facilities. I can’t wait to go back

This place is amazing! We got the soy-sauge, Van Gogh wrap, and green smoothie and they were all amazing. The soysauge looked like it was going to be dry but had a soft center and was very flavorful. The green smoothie tasted like avocado (which is a good thing). I highly recommend stopping in!

Doesnt get any better than this. Its our first stop every time we go to Asheville. Post-Covid, we were happy to see how nicely they practiced social distancing. The avocado sandwich with an egg on top was delicious, and my wife and son always split their sweet potato pancakes. Highly recommended for those who want to eat local and organic.

The Vegan Burrito with tempeh soysage was packed with flavor and very delicious!

Extremely slow service. Ordered a golden Buddha bowl and a zen bowl for lunch and it took 45 minutes to be served with Only two customers ahead in line. Food had lots of flavor and fresh ingredients; however, the wait was not worth the final product. I would recommend for food but not recommend if you’re in a rush or if you have a short amount of time.

Nice quick spot for organic/vegan food. Prices arent too bad and the food came pretty quick. I got the breakfast burrito which was great.

Decent vegan options. If you come here with your non vegan friends, make sure to ask to get your friends bacon on a different plate than your vegan hash.My boyfriend was surprised by the size of the pancakes. They are huge!Very safe environment to eat.

This place is amazing. The staff is very hospitable and the food is delicious. The menu is very diverse accommodating the vegan, allergy and meat individuals and offering great coffee and tea as well. Definitely a place to try while visiting the Asheville area.

Absolutely loved the food & atmosphere! The vegan options were abundant & flavorful & a large portion for the price (in my opinion - Picture below, don’t remember the name). Will definitely return.

Loved the juice and our breakfast. Tons of veggie and vegan options. Support sustainability and local farms.

Great place to get a good bite to eat and a nice cup of coffee!

Great breakfast spot, nice variety of bowls, wraps, sandwiches etc. Friendly staff and of course the Asheville vibe is here! Can you find the bird?

Stopped here every morning while on vacation to get a green juice. Was very quick and easy to get a healthy drink with our busy itinerary.

Incredibly flavorful. Portions are smaller and it took a longer wait for pretty simple food. The lox sandwich was one of the best as was the root veggie hash. Delicious breads and teas.

I ordered the house platter Green Sage which was very tasty. Had Americano which was also good. Order at the counter then sit down and they bring food and coffee. You bus your own tray. Composting, recycling and solar polar encouraged. Atmosphere is just okay. A place with counter service having 18% as their default tip is bad practice.

Very yum! We were looking for a place to eat for lunch and discovered the local area from the front desk recommendations and as well as the reviews from other previous patrons. If it is your first time i suggestreading over the entire menu as it does offer a lot of varieties for your taste buds. One thing i would suggest is that the chai tea that i ordered could use a little more steaming to be a little hotter but overall this place is amazingly great!

Cute Cafe. Tables labeled for proper social distancing. Short walk from Pack Square Park. The smoothies were delicious.

Delicious! Love that everything is vegan by default and if you want to add a different no vegan option you can.

Me and the wife loved this place. Great food done in a way that you normally dont see. Very healthy options and fantastic coffee.

Amazing and fresh food. Nothing tasted artificial at all. It was delicious, we both finished our plates. Tons of vegan/vegetarian/GF options.

Green Sage is a friendly and relaxed place to eat. Service was nice and the person working the register was so sweet. The food was pretty good! We got the Appalachian Trail entree. The vegan bacon and sausage was delicious! The eggs were tasty. However, the veggies were just ok and the biscuit was very dry so I didnt finish that part. Overall I would definitely go back and give their other vegan food a try!

Love that this place has great vegetarian and GLUTEN-FREE options! Food is always delicious and staff is always helpful.*Update - we came back again today on our way out of town and had another great experience. The rice bowl and berry hibiscus tea I had were out of this world. Love this place!Its one of our regular stops anytime we visit the Asheville area.

After hearing great things about Green Sage, I expected to be “Wowwed” by it. I wasn’t. It was an ok place to eat, but nothing special.

Pastries were just ok, might have been better if they were heated... They must have just come out of a fridge.Person working was either high or just not paying attention at all, tried to give me the wrong pastry, and after thinking about it more he probably charged me for the wrong one as well... But didnt give me a receipt... So Im not sure.I like their environmentally friendly lean... But they need to hire better staff. All and all the worst service we had in our visit to asheville.The one plus was that we could use their bathroom!

My new favorite place!! Tons of vegan options. They were fast on a sunday morning and someone came in with a cat in a backpack. If that doesnt deserve 5 stars I dont know what will.

Great coffee! We got a latte and cappuccino. Love that things are locally sourced.

Great place for a healthy and organic meal. Great if youre vegan or vegetarian. Pancakes were great along with the root hash. My only complaint was the chai latte. It was awful and spicy as if made out of cayenne pepper.

Food was pretty good but the service wasn’t super friendly. The lady that took our order wasn’t very nice. The same lady served us our food and and wasn’t friendly then either. Again good was decent, but it seems like the expectation is for customers to bus their own tables. For the price point, that seems odd. We paid about $40 for 2 omelets, 1 gf pancake and 1 coffee.

Being vegetarian isn’t easy when traveling, but Green Sage made it easy with their avocado toast and simple but savory seasonings on top. Wish they would open one in Charleston SC! Definitely a must stop for breakfast when in Asheville! Try the spicy Chai Tea with almond milk - you’ll be glad you did!

Fabulous place, many many gluten free and Delicious, healthy. I ordered the vegetable hash. It was fresh and delicious.

Good breakfast and coffee focused on local sourced, organic, and humanely raised food.

Food was amazing we got both of the bowls. the service not so much. They made us move tables at middle of our meal becuase she had to clean the area before closing, though we still had 20 mom before they closed to eat. It was pretty ride and odd becuase the other table that was in our section wasnt told anything.

Great avocado toast if you get the egg on top and the deep purple smoothie was super yummy and healthy.

In high school, I toured Green Sage as a part of the CAYLA program and learned about how sustainable it is and so on. Upon returning to AVL with my girlfriend, I met in college; I was eager to show her Green sage. During the pandemic, we waited outside in a line of uncomfortable white people for our turn only to be overlooked for an old white couple. I addressed the issue with the all-white staff, who apologized and informed me they were understaffed; the staff was sweet but lacking diversity-they encouraged me to speak up for the nameless folk who may have experienced the same thing. I felt so disrespected we left to ear elsewhere.

The place is excellent, food is good.Good spot for breakfast. I like the location too.Overall great food at great price.

Wonderful place! We went to this location twice and another of there locations a third time. My husband and I love the vegan biscuits, tofu scramble, mushroom gravy, chia pudding fruit bowl, soysage, tempeh bacon, desserts, fresh made juices and smoothies. Their menu is so diverse and breakfast and lunch are both served all day ❤️

I had the TLT (Tempe, lettuce, and tomato) and it was fantastic. I had the vegan Tomato-basil soup, and it was good, but I liked my wifes lentil soup better. Overall, fabulous, with loads of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options.

Nice esthetics of the restaurant however the staff was very inconsistent with their service. We witnessed very hospitable care towards some customers but unfortunately my husband and I were not so fortunate. We have had this experience before and would not recommend this restaurant because of the staff. I come from a very warm Filipino family background which values kindness towards others, my husband from a Midwest farm town- both of us were perplexed by the treatment we received here.

My new favorite place for breakfast when in Asheville! Hubby and I were pleasantly surprised. We had gimme kale and the appalachian trail scramble. Both were amazing! John and Lori made dining here extra special, they were extremely welcoming and kind. Definitely check this quaint little spot out..

You should not visit this cafe. They do not treat their workers well. There is a lawsuit against this business for under paying their baristas without informing the baristas about said paycut. No one should support a business that does not respect and care about their employees well being.

This restaurant is amazing! I had the avocado lox breakfasts sandwich with tofu scramble instead and it was absolutely delicious! They said the wait time was 30 minutes but it was definitely faster than that.

Loved having breakfast here. Great burritos. Healthy clean food. Nice staff. Looks local. Will definitely eat there again.

Very tasty very healthy very fast

Had an amazing time at Green Sage Downtown. They had a great menu selection with really yummy vegan options. The coffee was great and the service fantastic. I loved the balance of hearty and light healthy options. Seasonally on point too. A definite must visit for plant and non plant based food

What a cozy cafe! You can’t miss with the Tempeh BLT! Yes Vegan! Sauces are vegan and ciabatta is hella soft!

My favorite restaurant chain in Asheville did survive COVID 😭😭😭😭😭

Not a fan of the hippy smells or of the food this place serves. The person taking our order would rather talk to the people just served than take our order like we have all the time in the world to socialize. Only been here this one time and would not come back.

Great little breakfast/lunch spot for a healthy bite. After days of fried food, this was a very welcome change in cuisine. This location just reopened and was quite busy on a Saturday morning. We waited about 10 minutes for a table to dine in. Everything from the tofu scramble to the bowls, the platters and sandwiches were good. They do a great job hiding any kale so you are eating healthy but still tasty. I didnt think there was enough kale! Everything is quite filling.Our server was so friendly and super nice. Only downside is how expensive it is. Our breakfast cost more than any of our asheville dinners did. You can order online for takeout as well. Pretty social distanced.

Great community coffee/cafe spot! Roomy dining area for a corner establishment. Good selection of pastries, with listed ingredients. This is great for someone with food allergies! Also, free WI-for for patrons! Grade A sanitation rating and handicap accessible restrooms.

This place has really gone down the drain.I’ve been coming here for 12 years and it’s just gotten worse and worse.The employees they hire are always rude, and the one good thing they had on the menu- biscuits- they got rid of for some reason.They also make you clean your own table which for a $35 breakfast (yes, that’s the price and yes, it’s overpriced) is totally uncalled for.Also, the coffee has ALWAYS been lukewarm whenever I go. So strange.Anyways. If you’re looking for a classy breakfast experience, this is not the place.

Was passing through Asheville and in desperate need of some coffee and a good breakfast. We parked next door and headed inside. Cappuccino, americano, and 2 amazing spinach omelette sandwiches with some sort of spinach pesto (?) sauce on it. Affordable, comfy atmosphere, and great food. Would absolutely return.

Came in last weekend right after a very angry dude that didn’t want to wear a mask. The staff was very gracious & kind, providing him a mask & doing everything they could to deescalate & get him some grub. I think he wanted to fight someone more than he wanted breakfast, so he threatened to sue the guy taking his order for informing him that he needed to wear a mask & providing him with said mask for the safety of all of the guests. He was given a business card to appease the rage after throwing the mask back in the face of the guy taking his order & left.My wife & I were both impressed by how this restaurant is handling COVID, and the food & service were great.

Great place, good food great prices. absolutely loved their breakfast options.

The best avocado toast ever, the best pancakes ever. Service and covid precautions are excellent. Coffee is also excellent. I ordered the avocado toasts with eggs and bacon. My wife had a problem deciding what to put on her pancakes, so she ordered them with everything on the menu.

Dang. Nourishing. Refreshing. Punctual. Delicious. Hospitable.Green Sage was such an experience. It was top notch in their food and customer service. 10/10 recommend. I was taken here by a local who raved about the food.My go to is the avacado toast, theirs was outstanding. Big ol slices topped on a toasty piece of bread with an egg on top! So good.Will go back again when I am in Asheville.

The people here are SO nice! And the food is delicious. We loved it - highly recommend.

Overall: A good option for a fast-casual breakfast or lunch.The good: The pura vida bowl was filling and tasted great. All the eggs, beans, rice, kale, and avocado salsa was a great meal to get ready for some hiking. The price was reasonable and the food was hot and ready for pickup.The not-so-good: The signs inside were confusing and not helpful for pickup, which is frustrating in the time of COVID. The avocado lox sandwich was disappointing in terms of the lox portion size as was the avocado, and the price for it wasnt justified as a result.Food: 8/10Atmosphere: 8/10Service: 8/10

Healthy food hand prepared with maximum flavor. A great local spot.

Had to visit this cafe twice the last time I was in Asheville. Such an amazing little place. Food is amazing, as is the staff. I normally just get the cortada for coffee but I have tried others and they are equally delicious. Great location. Cant wait to go back!

Excellent food. Natural ingredients and locally sourced.

Solid burrito...good coffee right in the heart of downtown Asheville. The rest of the menu looked great too, fresh/local.

Really great vegan options. Delicious scramble. Nice atmosphere but a little crowded.

So, so good! Cute little healthy corner cafe!

As we are from out of state and understand everything going on with covid. We came in to pay for our parking spot using our laptop. We looked over the menu rather than taking up time at the register. We were about to get up to order but then their was a line of 5 people with children so we sat back down. As soon as we sat back down, an employee told us we had been there for over 30 minutes and needed to leave when I had just paid for parking and it had been 8 minutes with proof of timing. We ended up just leaving annoyed.

Friendly staff, clean, open space with quick delicious meals. I enjoyed the oatmeal w/ added banana & a coffee.

We never eat at the same restaurant when on vacation except for Green Sage! The avocado lox brings me back every time! The staff is unbelievably friendly! A must stop every morning in Asheville!

Awesome staff, food and atmosphere. You cant miss with breakfast here.

The food was amazing. Pretty large space but always busy. Line goes fast

Great organic veg-vegan selections for breakfast and brunch. Great coffee and atmosphere, too.

Needed a quick, hearty breakfast and this fit the bill. The oatmeal wasnt overly sweet and was loaded with apples, raisins and seeds. Farmers Omelette was prepared perfectly and had tons of fresh veggies and sausage. Service was very friendly and quick.

Good organic food. End of story.

So great! This cafe has truly fantastic coffee. Proper cappuccino, perfect size, rich and creamy. Really liked the spinach and feta pastry which says a lot considering I’m Greek 😉

Great food and very Asheville like atmosphere #dogfriendly #oatmilk #studyspot #latteart #matcha

Great food and wonderfully healthy options. Coffee was excellent! Went twice!

Went there for smoothies, they were good but only a few to choose from. They were able to customize ingredients, such as whole milk vs almond milk. All natural ingredients. Convenient location in center of downtown. We will be back again for smoothies and to try other great sounding menu items.

I’m vegan and GF with some annoying food allergies (Eggs & Soy) but this amazing cafe was so accommodating and did not even give me a hard time when having to omit eggs, etc. super friendly staff the coffee my partner got was delicious and my oat latte was perfect!! We are from Dallas and this was on our radar from the menu and other reviews so I’m here to confirm it’s worth going to!!! Thank you Green Sage Cafe!
