Yes Please!

Vacationing nearby and thanks to happycow, we were able to find this place. They have more vegan options than you would expect. Got the cafe sampler, meat loaf, and the special which was a ravioli dish. Also, the wine they used in the raspberry sangria was vegan too! The items we ordered were top-notch. Cafe Evergreen lived up to its reviews for sure. Highly recommend.

Must-visit restaurant

I come down to this part of FL for a few weeks every winter and always visit Cafe Evergreen even though it’s 45 minutes from where I stay. It’s one of the only places in the area that has great-tasting and healthy vegan food. Staff are super-friendly and attentive. Restaurant has a nice cozy vibe, as well.

Excellent vegan options

The food tasted fresh and was very delicious. They have great wraps. I had the super vegan wrap. It was fabulous and came with a side of roasted cauliflower. My husband had the vegan "meatloaf". Both were very satisfying. We will definitely be back!!

Pros: Full service restaurant , Nice portions, Nice waitstaff

Cons: Wish everything was vegan.

A great gem serving vegan food as well as food my husband enjoys(meat)!

I ordered the roasted beet reuben and it did not disappoint. The flavors were amazing. My husband also commented on how flavorful his meal was. The portions were perfect. We didn't feel stuffed after eating. Service was lovely. Employees all smiled and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Decor was warm and inviting. Menu items have standard plus foods you won't find on a typical menu. Will definitely stop back when travelling near the area.

Pros: plenty of vegan options, plenty of options for non-vegan, warm and friendly service

Cons: tables were a bit tightly packed , general customer age is social security check , hard rock music didn't match atmoshphere

Really 5 Stars

This gem in Nokomis serves organic and fresh meals. You can get all sorts of drinks: smoothies, probiotic drinks, infused coffees and teas - it’s a bit overwhelming. There are many vegan options and they are super vegan-friendly. This is my third visit and everything just have ordered has been tasty, and fulfilling. Tonight, I ordered the Vegan “Pulled Pork” with quinoa and rice pilaf.

Pros: Broad vegan menu. , 100% Organic. , Reasonably priced.

Cons: It’s loud inside, but oh well!

This is a wonderful gem! I ordered the club sandwich which they made vegan. It was on the menu as vegetarian and GF. I had a side of baked sweet potato fries. This place has kumbucha on tap. I had the hibiscus something…..it was so smooth. I had a coconut berry moose for dessert and I forgot to take a picture. It was yummy. Melissa was my server. Very nice girl. I ate outside. It was noisy with traffic sounds but i wanted to eat out side.

It was okay.

I had a tofu scramble that was super oily and hard to eat. I would order something else next time. It was hard to get water from the server and she never asked how anything was. She was not very knowledgeable about the items and seemed most interested in trying to increase everyone's lunch order and kept pushing smoothies and other things yet didn't really pay attention to the group after we ordered.

Cute organic cafe

Not much around this area that is like this restaurant which makes this pace all the better! Their specialty refresher drinks are amazing (I’ve gotten the summer cooler and the midnight cooler). Clearly marked vegan options and very good flavor. I have tried a little of each vegan option. Most recently and most notably was the Chana masala: very tasty!

Pros: Flavor, Organic, Cute cafe atmosphere

Cons: Price

Great find with vegan options

We're only in town a week and this is our third meal here. My vegan meals have been great and my husband can still eat none vegan. Vegan beet reuban was good and pay nights vegan bean burger was great! I also love all of the kombucha flavors with and without CBD. All the servers and staff are great and make you feel welcome.

Healthy vegan options

I had the vegan reuben with blackened Tofu added and it was very good! Filling too, I took half home. The sweet potato fries were good but the sauce they come with was not vegan and I wish it came with a vegan sauce to substitute. Also had a matcha frappe made with almond milk and it was tasty. They gave complimentary edamame with a seasoned salt.

Their tiny desserts are good too. The chocolate brownie one was very rich and the key lime was mildly grainy but refreshing.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Expensive, Meat options

Yummy Vegan/Vegetarian options

Loved this place! Staff was very nice and friendly. Place was clean. Lots of yummy vegan/vegetarian dishes to choose from. Also lots of options for carnivores. The only negative is that it is a little pricy. Definitely will return.

Pros: Vegan/Vegetarian food choices, Yummy, friendly staff

Cons: Pricy

Nice lunch

Had the club without the beets. It was delicious.
They were able to make substitutes so I could have a smoothie without the dairy yogurt.
Very friendly people

Just okay

I'm not disappointed in the beet "Ruben", I'm disappointed in myself for thinking it would be good. It isn't. I paid $15 for a bun and sweet potato fries. At least the fries were good.

We were only in the area three days but ate here twice, it was that good! I had the Vegan Beet Reuben both times! Also had the sweet potato fries. My husband, who is not vegetarian, had the Chana Masala Bowl and loved it! Will visit again when we’re back in the area.

Gluten free vegan options

The chana masala, chipolte black bean burger, and kelp noodle stir-fry are all delicious. I love their blueberry wine and gluten-free vegan desserts too.

Clearly labeled vegan options

I LOVE when a restaurant gives us clarity on the menu. This place does that. I got the vegan beet Ruben and was pleasantly surprised. Very very good meal, nice atmosphere. Didn’t love the non vegan options on the menu though.
