Super cute spot near the oceanfront. My favorite part: vegan and gluten free which means the sky is the limit on choices there! Very cool environment and amazing organic and healthy dining options from water to smoothies to salads and smoothies. I will definitely be stopping by again the in the future.
A hidden treasure. Stopped in for a cup of hot tea and discovered their amazing VEGAN soft serve on a gluten free cone!! It’s been years since I could indulge in soft serve on a cone and this was wonderful! I had the vanilla and açaí berry twist. Intense flavor, creamy mouth feel - even tastier than the original and healthy without unpleasant “consequences.” There is so much here so we’ll be back for lunch and more treats!
They have gluten-free muffins and that in itself made me extremely happy to come and eat here more in the future. This café is a nice place to get healthy snack after a swim day at the beach. My favorite was the açai bowl, The staff was friendly and very helpful when I had questions about the menu. They have a lot of adorable Knickknacks to buy along with your morning coffee.
Really cute and multi-faceted market.They have private parking and you can eat inside or on their outdoor patio area.Everything was healthy and fresh and tasty, the staff were friendly, and the decor fits the natural, fun, and simple aesthetic.There are tasteful items/gifts for the spiritually inclined (candles, smudge spray, tinctures etc.) But theres also jewelry, cups, and clothing too, with a style thats pretty versatile
The Green Cat is a beautiful, little cozy shop right off the beach. They have a great selection of really healthy and green smoothies and salads. Thier green drinks have a lot of healthy and revitalizing ingredients, this is a snack that is good after you eat all the pancakes and other less healthy food ;). The store employees are nice and knowledgeable and friendly when you ask them about the food. My wife and the cashier had a nice chat about the drinks and the smoothies we juice at home.
Visited daily for a week this past Summer. Excellent Smoothies. Tried a different smoothie daily. Special requests are allowed. Servings are generous. Ingredients taste fresh.Staff: Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, efficient.Location: Ideal - near beachParking lot available.Clean establishment.Large selections of smoothies;I also tried three different vegan muffins- all delicious.Unique Items for sale such as cards, stationary, jewelry, books, journals and more.Tables and chairs available inside and also outside in a separate area that is covered.
We were looking for good smoothies, and The Green Cat provided! They are on the pricier side, ranging from $7 to $13, but they were clearly made with care and fresh ingredients. The staff inside were also exceptionally kind and helped us to decide on which drink to order! All smoothies are gluten-free and vegan.
Cute local spot close to the oceanfront and many hotels offering juices, smoothies, and smoothie bowls. It was counter service, which moved pretty quick, and there is both indoor and outdoor seating areas. I loved my smoothie and honestly looking at the menu, it feels like you can’t go wrong.
A refreshing breath of cleanliness and good dining in a city that seems to lack both (I literally stepped in dog poop on my way to the shop).The Green Cat offers a ton of variety and lots of interesting, healthy juices. Everyone in our party ordered a different item and everyone enjoyed what they got. I was also impressed that everything is very fresh. I watched as the manager walked out onto the back patio and checked all the fridges that held the fresh fruits and vegetables that they use in their drinks.The staff was super nice and helpful, the prices were reasonable for a juice bar, parking was free and easily accessible and there was plenty of seating inside.Would definitely recommend stopping by this place if you’re in the area.
Very cute place! Family friendly with area to sit and enjoy food. Nice healthy choices and was quite busy.
Absolutely love their Açaí ! I love finding vegan joints around to try new things! I’ve been here twice and have yet to be disappointed! I typically get the açaí smoothie bowl or their vegan ice cream swirl, and the kids even love it ! (That’s a big deal!) I recommend anyone wanting to eat clean or transition over to try this place out!
Fantastic clean food and service! I had seen some poor reviews regarding customer service but that was not our experience. My wife and I have gone every day for our first meal while visiting VA Beach. We could not be more pleased with the service. They are very busy and on the expensive side but everything is super clean and made to order. Great place!
This was my first time ordering from the green cat; the drink was good. I dont remember what it was but it was delicious.Only issue was the price. For a drink made from fruits and veggies with some protein powder etc, two drinks for $12 was a bit much.
Omg. I cannot write enough good about this amazing little spot. Food, drinks and jewelry are all fantastic....the seating out back is excellent and the staff was super nice! All vegan, mostly raw and I think all gluten free....this spot will not disappoint. We ate here every morning on our recent trip because we wanted to try so many things and couldnt bring ourselves to go elsewhere!
I went here with my husband and kids while we visited Virginia Beach on vacation. Everyone found something they liked. Favorites were the pitaya smoothie bowl, strawberry toast, and coffee. The staff were really friendly and the shop had a great vibe!
The food quality is fine, healthy options but you will pay for those. I found that the staff didnt seem happy for my purchases, were talking about smoothie bowls and soups that totaled nearly $100. I didnt receive a thank you, a polite smile, or any help selecting a smoothie. I even mentioned I hadnt been there before. Another review mentioned something about how they arent always friendly to everyone and I tend to agree. Out of the couple visits I made to the shop, I noticed a cold shift when I brought the family in (multi-race). It was like, my money was fine before and then it was really like they were doing me the favor taking my order. Although I appreciate a healthy concept and think there needs to be more available in the area, customer service is everything!
Service was a bit slow, but the smoothies are delicious! Get ready to spend $10 a smoothie and $7 for juice, but they really care about sustainable, ethical ingredients which is probably why the cost is so high.
Waited 45 minutes for 2 smoothies that costed $25. People who ordered 15 minutes after us got their drinks before us. Smoothies were good but not worth 45 minutes or $12 each.
This is a really cool place, very healthy options and alot of stuff to potentially purchase. We decided to stop in because they had smoothies, and smoothie bowls. The interior is very bright and colorful with a really nice outdoor section to enjoy also. My smoothie bowl did take a decent amount of time come out, but I was ok with waiting. We are here on vacation and we will definitely be back soon.
A welcomed good-health option with a deliciously unique menu of smoothies and nutritional drinks. Loved it.
This place is VEGAN! The food is absolutely fantastic, fresh, and delicious. The service is good too. They have a small outdoor area, and its right on the ocean front. I highly recommend it!!
I got the Southwest Salad and The Hangover smoothie and both we absolutely fabulous! Everything is gluten-free which is very important to me. It was so awesome to be able to have access to anything on the menu without having to worry about gluten. I was super hungry going in and now I’m stuffed. Definitely plan on coming again!UPDATE: I came back for an early lunch and it was awesome again!
Surprisingly good for vegan fare. I really like vegan food but good spots are hard to find. The chili and the strawberry muffin I got was pretty good!
Delicious Gluten Free Vegan Food is not always easy to find, This place is all that! Kind staff, good food, cute store, and positive energy.
This place has the best avo toast I ever had.Amazing smoothies, food, and staff.
Excellent beverages. Pricing is pretty steep for the sizes, but youre paying for genuine quality ingredients and service.
Ordered the açaí bowl, Pitaya bowl and watermelon juice and everything was simply delicious. Excellent customer service too . Will definitely come back. Highly recommend !
Delicious, fresh and healthy! Everything here tastes so good, it’s hard to pick a favorite. It may seem a little expensive, but you are paying for fresh, organic ingredients and the bowls and smoothies are very filling. The juices are so good too! I love all of the varieties of the moon mylks that they offer. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. They also have an outdoor patio, which is dog friendly! Its great to see a place like this in Virginia Beach!
I wanted to love this place. It was so nice inside and so many things to look at. The girl taking our orders was soooooooo rude and you can see it affecting the others working. My smoothie was no smooth at all and seemed soooooo pulpy. I hope it will be better next time.
I had a pretty good experience here! The first time I ate here I got the chocolate smoothie bowl which was too “chocolatey” for me. It felt like the chocolate outweighed every other flavor that was supposed to be in the bowl. However, I gave it another shot and tried the açaí bowl a day or two later and I loved it. The flavors were pretty balanced across the board and the bowl was incredibly fresh. A quick warning, though, is that they make every item to order so it’s not the quickest service. With that said, if you’re not in a rush definitely check this place out. I’ll definitely snag another açaí bowl when I’m back in VA Beach!
The experience was horrible. Very beautiful place and it even remind me of back home in Delaware where I was always welcomed at any juice bar I entered, greetings when you walk in the door, smiles & acknowledgment. When we entered this place the workers didnt even acknowledge us until about 10 minutes later as we were looking around. After ordering we were asked if we wanted to wait outside? I was caught off guard by that question, the next lady to order wasnt asked this question (a caucasian young lady) the experience was definitely horrible! I will never go back again. I love places where they treat their customers decent no matter what the color of their skin would be.
Ok, so 5 stars for the quality food & being the only place to get a decent vegan breakfast in VB. But one footnote. We came here two times on our trip. Both times the staff seemed really stressed & like they were trying to do a million things at once. We ordered online which included two coffees. But when we picked-up we were only given one. Maybe due to noise in the store, masks, or just a misunderstanding - but the staff was not understanding that I was missing our second beverage. Eventually the (manager?) said “just give it to them” as if I was trying to scam them of a free coffee even though we paid for it online and was clearly listed on our receipt. For a place with the Buddha painted on the wall, it was just an unnecessarily stressful experience. I hope this is not the “typical” experience as this is one of the only places serving vegetarian/vegan food in town. Thank you for your consideration.
I was really excited to finally try this place but was a bit disappointed. I got the Açaí bowl and although delicious, wasn’t anything extraordinary for $11 (9 something without tax). A bit overpriced when your paying so much extra with taxes. Shop is cute. The girl who took my order wasn’t very nice. Not even a smile from her. I’m pretty friendly and smiley myself but after her blank and unfriendly stares I honestly couldn’t wait to leave. When I mentioned I didn’t want to sign up for the rewards since I’m just visiting for the day, que the stare back and internal eye roll from her. Customer service is big for me. It really kills a vibe. Probably won’t go again.
Overhyped and overpriced place. Nothing that special to write home about.The Açaí bowls were okay, not a big fan of raw oats dumped with some bananas and blueberries for $12, didn’t think there was anything special there. We had a tough time finishing it actually. May be we should have tried some smoothies. But the place certainly has its fans, as it was packed.Green or organic labeled anything is a license to charge a premium.
We stopped here on a bike ride during our vacation not knowing what to expect but we didn’t leave disappointed. I got the Moon Milk and I am OBSESSED. I live out of state and I’m so sad because I really fell in love with that stuff. I also got a pitaya bowl and it was delicious as well. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back next year!
Great staff & products. The Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable & professional.
Dank lil spot in the hood- slightly overpriced- but that deterring the cheap tourists who litter vb in the summer from making the long wait even longer is an upside- 5 star but one major complaint is their pos/checkout system… its not working guys- the lines out the door when yer busy can easily be resolved with a bit of forth-thought applied to the system- buying prepackaged juice shouldnt involve a 15 wait- just sayin- much love- jm
Very spectacular smoothies! Flavorful, filling, and healthy.
Wow!! I love the atmosphere in this place!! I got a few juices that were just divine and SUPER yummy!😋 I also got a Twix Empowered Plant cake and WHOA!! It is AMAZING!! I will be back soon to try some other things on your menu! Thank you guys for providing a menu that accommodates gluten intolerance. I appreciate you!🤩
I’m obsessed with smoothie bowls lately, their pitaya bowl was perfect!! They do have the cutest little market as well, I purchased a chanchito pig that brings good fortune. Just what I needed during this pandemic. Y’all keep it up 🤙🏼
Fantastic smoothies and oatmeals. Be aware this place is vegan... still yummy and kind of pricey, but worth it.
I love this place. Definitely the best local smoothies. I love the Traveling Yogi, French Kiss, & Sippin on Zen for smoothie picks & the Pink Pitaya Lemonade & Blue Lavender Limeade for the bottled juices. It is pretty pricey because of the fresh ingredients so I can’t get it everyday like I would want to buy whenever I’m in the area I treat myself! I love that they list the ingredients in great depth but I wish they calculated nutritional info as well.
It’s such a cute place to go. I brought my boyfriend and he loved it as well. I tried the Açai Smoothie Bowl and it was delicious!! Definitely going there again to try something new.
Really sweet little vegan place with good smoothies and a great atmosphere!
Perfect treat for the family. VA beach needs more establishments like the Green Cat!
The best smoothies and cold-pressed juices at the Oceanfront! Also try their strawberry crisp toast! It is extremely delicious!
Very helpful staff with great beach suggestions and smoothies suggestions.
This place was recommended to me by a coworker. I was super excited to share this place with friends. We headed over and I ordered a No Chicken Salad and it was so refreshing. I also order a blueberry tea. The salad was crisp and refreshing. I did not miss the chicken whatsoever. Please check this place out!!!
I got the French kiss and it tasted like cat food so I tried the fountain of youth and it was better but over not a 10 dollar smoothie
Love love love it!!! The best smoothies, soups, salads and wears- from jewelry to clothing!!! Jaqui is the absolute most progressive and honest business owner. The staff is always upbeat and accommodating. I enjoy the back patio and all the succulents and plants, especially the rosemary out front!!!😘
A little on the pricey side but you really get what you paid for in quality. The smoothies are delicious but be sure to get Empowered Plant Cakes when you stop in, theyre to die for.
The female that served us was rude and made us sit outside even when we were waiting for our food. not a good waiter. we asked her a question and she failed to answer us. we all got different bowls and all tasted artificial and terrible. the gronola is raw gronola. RAW!!!! absolutely trash
Great smoothies & Real Oatmeal!
I usually experience friendly staff and yummy smoothies when I come here, unfortunately recently my experience was a less enjoyable one. Rude staff, unenthusiastic, and not very friendly. A girl I havent seen before, dark hair early thirties/late twenties possibly, she wasnt very pleasant. Hopefully my future visits will be more enjoyable.
1 part hippie, 1 part preying on kind hearted folk with corporate eco marking gimmicks
My smoothie was absolutely out of this world. Plenty of delicious 😋add ons!!! Ladies working were super nice too.
I have never had a bad experience with Green Cat before today. My boyfriend and I went in to order smoothies to go. While ordering I specifically heard him say to use almond butter instead of peanut butter in his smoothie, hes allergic to peanuts so hes always mindful of asking for substitutions. I left for work afterwards and I get a text from him 20 minutes later saying that hes at patient first because they put peanut butter in his smoothie. Thankfully they gave him the necessary shots and hes okay now, but this could have had a much worse ending had he not been near an urgent care center. I am incredibly angry and disappointed at the lack of attention the employees displayed today. I will not be returning and I would advise that anyone with a peanut allergy stay away as well.
When I went I got the chocolate smoothie bowl and it was delicious. The service was good and the people were very nice. 10/10 would recommend for a nice little spot to sit down with friends
LOVe this place! They get ALL my money!!
Great location. Great patio! Great smoothies!
This smoothie bar was run very inefficiently. It took 45 minutes to get my order, which was 3 smoothies.The employees were taking phone-in orders at the same time as in-person orders, prioritizing the phone-in. The smoothies were good, but nothing better than what I could make at home. I was from out of town, otherwise I would have. Not worth the wait.
My friends girlfriend kept screaming “green cat” when we were driving along the main boulevard in Virginia Beach. I was visibly confused. We pulled in and someone ordered me a pink smoothie with dragon fruit and pineapple. It was amazing. One of the best smoothies I’ve ever had. If you’re in the area definitely stop by this place.
So good! Fresh. Healthy. Delicious! Try their Blue Majik smoothie. 😋
The smoothes here are amazing! Great Service and cool place for a quick healthy place to eat!
I dont know why, but I only expected okay when I saw this was all vegan. Call that my personal biases. What we got definitely exceeded my expectations. The portions were generous, the price was reasonable, and taste was fantastic. Kids might find there isnt much for them, but if you are someone who likes healthy food stop by and give this a shot.
(Vegan Reviewer) Love this place! Everything they serve is vegan and delicious! I make it a point to come here every time I am in town. I love the avocado toast and always try a different smoothie. The prices are a bit high, but worth it for the quality ingredients. I usually spend $20-25 for a smoothie and a meal, but the smoothies are $10. The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. Highly recommend this place.
I got the chocolate smoothie bowl and it was great! The staff was very friendly and the store was very clean.
The chocolate smoothie bowl was delicious
