• FANTASTIC RAW, VEGAN MEAL AND SMOOTHIE CHOICES!

I made plans to visit Sarasota for a day at the beach with a friend. As a long-term, whole-foods based vegan, I expected to have to settle for a basic salad or bland pasta dish from one of the seafood-focused restaurants in St. Armand's Circle. Let me just say.... I am thrilled to have discovered Green Zebra online (thanks to VegSarasota). Not only was the restaurant (and restroom) clean and comfortable, but the owners were very friendly too. And HOLY WOW... our meals were ssooooo fantastic that we HAD to order more food to take home! My companion is not even vegan, yet we BOTH thoroughly enjoyed the (shared) raw manicotti, raw baja burrito, raw thai wraps, acai energy smoothie, and green power smoothie. There are so many healthy, tasty vegan/raw options on the menu that it was tough to choose. I can hardly wait to return and try the raw portobello Napoleon, cold-pressed juice, and wellness shots. You can believe I'll be taking food home again next time. The beach may have pulled us to the area this time, but we will gladly make the 45-minute drive back to Sarasota JUST to enjoy another extraordinary, feel-good meal at Green Zebra Cafe.
