"Solid Raw Food Experience"   My Rating
8 EncinAdia	Posted on: Wednesday, November 18, 2009
	Review: I'm a strict vegan, but not really a fan of raw food (the portions tend to be tiny and the prices tend to be high). But each time I have eaten here, I leave very impressed. The pasta/meatballs is delish and I got a big portion (although I hear the portion size varies day-to-day). The seaweed salad has been fabulous every time. The broccoli salad was good and so are the E3 shots. The orange/coconut juice was WOW!! The only bad experience was with their Marinated Greens...so ridiculously bitter that the dish was completely inedible. Really. I can usually eat anything, but I had to toss those bitter greens. I'm hoping it was just a one-time fluke. Prices are steep, but that is the case at any raw food restaurant in California. However, if they offered a "value menu" I would eat there a few times per week!! Bonus: the decor is simple but they have an adorable patio. And all the employees have been super nice to me during every visit.   Pros: Local, original business * Artfully prepared dishes * Cute atmosphere Cons: Closed Sundays * Closed mid-day * Steep prices

I have stopped into the Greenery several times and am always pleasantly surprised with the selection and freshness of the menu.   Pros: Good food * Great Ambience * Chris and Melissa are awesome people Cons: None. For me the menu is not my fav * *

"raw food in encinitas"   My Rating
5 mbirse310	Posted on: Thursday, April 09, 2009
	Review: this place is pretty good. the burger is good and spaghetti and meatball. pizza pretty good. some of the entrees are a bit to rich like the curry. when they have the crepes those are delicious. unfortunately the two times i tried the icecream it was barely sweet. the texture was good but certainly didn't fancy my sweet tooth. the service can be friendly or very laid back depending on who is working and their mood.   Pros: raw * mostly organic * outdoor area Cons: service * hard to find - looks closed * food inconsistent

"I'l lhave to try it again"   My Rating
4 mrshmtaylo r	Posted on: Tuesday, April 07, 2009
	Review: I was driving through and wanted to run in and grap something real quick with my family. First off, this place can be difficult to find when there are a lot of cars parked in the parking areas for Mozy's. :) You have to go in the gate behind that store, there's a sign. It's got a cute earthy feel when you walk into the patio. The inside felt a little dark and cramped, and the display case had little selection. The staff really was friendly though. This might be a little intimidating if you are new to vegan/ vegetarian style foods. I would suggest that you go with a group of like-minded and hungry souls :) I'm going to try it again, most definitely.   Pros: tastey menu * * Cons: small selection * *

"lovely lunch"   My Rating
2 chanale	Posted on: Friday, October 19, 2007
	Review: My daughter and I had lunch at Greenery today while visiting Encinitas. We'd never been, so I wanted to try a bit of everything. Between us we had an orange-creamsicle drink, a gingery drink, a burger (complete with dehydrated "bun" and sesame seeds), lasagna (macadamia nut cheese and tomato sauce layered with paper-thin zucchini), and pumpkin pie. Her favorite was the orange-creamsicle drink while mine was the lasagna (that macadamia cheese was out of this world). I wasn't disappointed by anything we had. The pumpkin pie tasted far more like actual pumpkin than any cooked pie I've had - it was nice to have a little treat without too much sugar. It was really peaceful having a slow, unhurried lunch out on the lush green patio, and the woman behind the counter couldn't have been nicer. I was told all the plastic that the lunch items were in is made from sugarcane or corn, and there's a compost can for recycling them. (The only things that went in the trash were napkins.)   Pros: peaceful * eco-friendly * delicious and healthy food Cons: a little pricey (but worth it) * *

"Pleasant Space - Rich Food"   My Rating
296 Chia	Posted on: Thursday, October 04, 2007
	Review: Was here in October 07. The cafe is located just behind Mozy's off the main road, so look for it. We came during the lunch hour, and it was counter service only (table service is at dinner time). We helped ourself to food that was kept inside clear containers in a refrigerator. Lunch food is prepared each morning and laid out in the fridge. On the day we went the selection included raw veggie burger, cream cheese sandwich, pesto zuccini pasta, a couple savory appetizers, chai flavored pie, and a mixed fruit drink. There were small tables inside and out in the quiet courtyard. We sat outside and enjoyed ourself. Recycling bins were provided fo the disposable utensils we used. Nice little cafe with very good raw food... Just because all the food is raw food doesn't mean it can't be rich or decadent! Go if you are in the area.   Pros: hand made food * healthy * good vibes Cons: * *
