Green Sage Cafe Merrimon

Bad first impression. I was excited when I found out the Green Sage was coming to Merrimon Avenue in a convenient location. However, if the service and wait times are anything like today, then it will take a lot to convince me to.come back. We waited in line for 25 minutes just to get to the counter to order. After ordering soup and salad and a sausage and egg biscuit, we had to wait another 20-25 minutes to get our food. When I inquired at the counter, the employees made excuses and brushed off my questions and concerns. The food was mediocre and I really do not understand why the wait time was so long. I am hoping that they did not prepare adequately for the Sunday after church crowd, so I am willing to give them another shot.

Great for dietary restrictions. Good food, nice ambience.

I used to love Green Sage but the past couple meals have been pretty terrible. Today I got a bowl- the rice was dry/undercooked and tasted several days old. The avocado was completely rock hard and unripe. The tomatoes and kale in it somehow tasted terrible too. Falafel was decent but couldn’t finish the rest of the meal. Maybe supply issues due to covid? Not sure, but food quality is rapidly declining.

Long wait for food with no flavor. Waited almost 30 minutes for my breakfast plate. When I asked about it the staff told me that they were waiting for the gravy to be made. Server should have informed me. Management should better train their staff and improve the kitchen efficiency.

First of all, I could not find any bike parking at this restaurant. I had to lock up to a patio chair. I was able to avoid riding on Marrimon Ave and arrived using quiet, bike-friendly streets. The food here is excellent and healthy. We had a large group and were easily accommodated. If they had good bike parking, I'd have given them 5 stars.

Friendly staff, the food was great, coffee was awesome. Outdoor seating was nice and bathrooms were clean.

I like this place and go there often as it's close to home. However, there are no great cooks here, tbh. So don't order anything that requires skill; like eggs. You will likely be disappointed. Otherwise, their food and drinks are delicious 😋

We have a little bit of time and between places and stopped here for some coffee tea and tasty treats which were wonderful. It was a nice place to relax for a few minutes in between appointments.

Restaurant was gross in the dining room, so we left.

The Merrimon location is a great place to gather together with friends and enjoy wonderful fresh food. The avocado wild lox round was delicious! The menu offers a variety of breakfast and lunch items along with coffee, tea, smoothies, cold pressed juices and vegan milkshakes. There is also ample parking.
