5 Stars: Fresh, Delicious, and Something for Everybody! - Edit
This cafe was so good! There were plenty of options for both vegans and omnivores. I had the chia seed pudding and mocha mint latte, my mom also had the mocha mint latte and a vegan pumpkin chocolate muffin, my cousins split a delicious looking avocado toast and a strawberry banana smoothie, and my brother had a turkey club wrap. I also took a vegan blueberry muffin for later. Positive reviews all around! Sad that I don’t live in Asheville, because I would definitely be coming back regularly!

Creative take on traditional breakfast - Edit
Had the Woodstock breakfast. It was filling and just the thing for a hungry morning. Another person in my group liked this breakfast best of several this trip. I would like to try other items on the menu that look great and do recommend trying this cafe. The lattes had the most outstanding foam.

The soup is awesome - Edit
The soups are vegan! The mushroom one was probably the best thing any of us got. The prices are very reasonable as well. Only tiny complaint is the tomatoes tasted a little weird in the eggs but might have been something odd.

Enjoyed the Havana bowl for lunch and was surprised how flavorful it was. My husband liked the falafel burger as well. A good healthy option in Asheville.

Fresh food, many options - Edit
Love this cafe! You order at the counter. Have a case full of bakery items, some which are vegan. The pumpkin chocolate chip muffin was delicious. We got the good life bowl (highly recommend), tempeh TLT (so good), and avocado toast. Everything was so good!

Really good vegan stop in Asheville🌱 - Edit
Green Sage Cafe had great outdoor shaded seating and was dog friendly which was nice. Big menu with lots of vegan options and everything is clearly labeled. I got the Van Gough Burrito and the Kale Caesar Salad- the burrito was really good (really filling and packed full of scramble and veggies), the salad was good too but a little to bland for what I was expecting for a Caesar salad- still good but missing some of the vinegar acidity I was hoping for. Overall really great spot that I’d go to again! Plus lots of drink options, really yummy kombucha brewed locally😊🌱🌯

Yummy breakfast - Edit
My hubby and I had breakfast here before heading out for a day of hiking. The staff was very friendly and they have a nice offering of vegan dishes. We both had the tofu scramble and it came with root hash & sautéed kale. The ciabatta bread was delicious & came with vegan butter & jam. Definitely would go back again!

Best sandwich I’ve ever had - Edit

Ordered the Appalachian. Not the best tasting tofu scramble or root hash. Tempeh bacon and toast saved the meal.

Good find - Edit
Stopped here for breakfast before leaving town and was pleased to see multiple vegan options! They have oatmeal, tofu scramble, and tempeh bacon that comes in a few different dishes. The staff understood dietary restrictions and vegan and “gluten sensitive” options were clearly marked. Uses organic and local ingredients when possible. They also have baked goods available.

Bland bowls - Edit
My husband and I were passing through the city and wanted to eat something on the lighter side. We ordered the Zen Bowl and the Havana bowl. They were both really bland, but the Zen Bowl in particular was very plain tasting. We didn't even want to finish it. We ended up keeping it and incorporating it into a stir-fry later that day.

3/4 stars! - Edit
Visiting Asheville for a long weekend and wanted a filling yet not too heavy breakfast. Came here around 7:45 on a Saturday and only had about a 5 min wait to order!
Read moreI ordered the pura vida bowl made vegan and a side of tempeh bacon, while my partner (who isn’t vegan) got the egg ciabatta. We also ordered a cold brew and OJ.
The star of the meal was the tempeh bacon! It has this sweet, sticky sauce lightly on it (maybe a maple cinnamon or something?) and it’s SO good. Def get something with that in it. The bowl was fairly good, a solid, filling breakfast with lots of veggies, just not necessarily a ton of flavor outside the salsa verde. It’s also could be split between two people if you wanted to try multiple things. My fiancé enjoyed his egg sandwich, he wasn’t super hungry so it was the perfect size to not be stuffed with. The cold brew is pretty acidic, so we’re kinda meh on it, but cold brew fans might be into it.
Update: my fiancé and I swung by for a smoothie one day and while it was good to get some greens, the smoothie was just okay!
Overall, would recommend coming and trying this spot out! Lots of options for a variety of diet types, and cute cafe vibes inside.

Absolutely delicious! Wish this cafe was near where I live. - Edit
My husband and I ordered our own tofu scramble, split tempeh soysauge, tempeh bacon and ciabatta toast. I had a white bean and kale soup that was out of this world wonderful! Everything was delicious and repeatable. Worth the trip off of the expressway.
