Green Sage Cafe Merrimon

Really wish I could give this place 5 stars as I really enjoyed my food. The menu has a lot of variety. It all sounded good. I ordered the Havana Bowl and an iced tea. My bill with tip and 10% service fee was over $21. The food was delicious and very flavorful. However, the value just wasn’t there for me. It is not clear what the service fee is for. Who gets that? If you’re going to charge a mandatory service fee then that cost needs to be included in the food price. The men’s restroom was dirty… more specifically the urinal had a ring. Overall, the menu provides a lot of refreshing and cool dishes. But for a weekday lunch $21 was too much. I ordered a latte on the way out. It was a very very good latte but cost me $5 for a small after the service fee.

Food was delicious. Staff were attentive and fast. Lots of healthy and healthier options. There were pancakes made of almond and rice flour. I had nuts and fruit added. They did an excellent job infusing it all without making the texture of the pancake mushy.

Ugh! That was so disappointing. I've never had such a flavorless meal. Needed to add salt and hot sauce to my breakfast burrito just to taste something and i couldn't even finish it. Keep in mind that i came in starving from the gym having skipped breakfast, no amount of hunger could bring joy to this meal.

Bought two meals, a latte and a non alcoholic beverage and spent $40 on the most mediocre meal. I'm not sure what was so expensive because they aren't spending their money on the ingredients. Coffee was delicious tho.

The staff are perfectly pleasant, even after bringing our food to the wrong table, and letting my food get cold.

All you pay for is the ambiance of a poorly decorated Starbucks with sticky floors, they will accommodate large parties though.

DONT DO IT

Let me start off by talking about how they didn't have tomatoes for my soup which was some kind of curry soup.not worth remembering. No flavor .. baby food tastes better than this. Salad was great but my food took like 25 minutes to come out. My sister ordered the Buddha bowl which gave her the major runs. Healthy or not, the food was overpriced for what you get.

Delicious breakfast. I got the avocado toast with an over easy egg and a toasted caramel latte. It was to die for! All organic and natural ingredients. Many GF options.

THANK YOU Green Safe Café for carrying so many vegan options! My (non-vegan) boyfriend and I visited two days in a row because we were so satisfied. Both days I ordered the Woodstock (sprouted tofu scramble with tomatoes, tempeh "bacon", root hash, toasted ciabatta with vegan "butter"; See attached photo) with a side of kale and onions. It was all really, REALLY good. I can't wait to try more of your offerings. We will be returning next time we're in Asheville!

I loved pancakes!!best I’ve ever had!!
I had two eggs with pork sausage and blueberry pancakes.
The only thing was that the restroom was super dirty as well as the table where we ate.

Green sage is a beautiful restaurant. There quite a varied menu of vegan bowls, wraps and sandwiches. I had a veggie wrap but frankly it was kind of thin, just not much food in it. It tasted good, and I don't eat much, so it was perfect for me. Just letting everyone know to maybe get the full size instead of a half size wrap.

Warm, welcoming hospitality by staff. Impeccably clean dining area upon entry.
I tried their Chai Latte and found it to be a wonderful blend of tea, cinnamon and ginger flavored. However, I didn't taste cloves or cardamom, but still would highly recommend.

Good food and coffee. Enjoyed our time here. Open and relaxing atmosphere. Good service and and overall good experience. :)
