Reviews 4.7/5

Caleb Dandridge 5/5

Visiting from out of state so wanted to check a local vegan spot, this place did not disappoint. Went on a Sunday evening and wasn’t busy or crowded. Service was perfect and knowledgeable to recommend a few things. We tried the Buddha bowl, artisan pesto pizza, and the pumpkin late. The Buddha bowl was filling tasty dish, what I expected from it. The artisan Pesto pizza was my favorite from the evening. The sauces worked well together, and the crust was the perfect amount of crispy but just enough to make it toasted. The pumpkin Pate was a delightful little snack, very smooth and creamy. Overall a great dining experience with good food. Happy I stopped in.

Richard Tiland 5/5

Do yourself a big favor. Eat here ASAP.

Martin is a great chef, genius, vegan and GF local produce and absolutely stunning food NOT to mention he is totally environmentally friendly. Prices are amazing for the quality and care that goes into his food.

The place is cute and has natural lights and plants around.

This is a one of a kind restaurant experience.

Deniz Turkmen 5/5

Honestly, we loved the atmosphere and the service more than the food. Tucked in a small courtyard, this cozy place is enhanced with planter pots, and relaxing live guitar tunes. Portion sizes are just right, no food waste or doggy bags. The service lady accommodated our little late request even though it was our fault. Overall, a lovely place to have your breakfast or lunch, compared to other overcrowded places.

Jes The Foodie 5/5

Green Door Cafe is such a vibe! It’s an alley in the wall cafe with tons of greenery and cute vibes to match.

We tried the French toast and a flatbread. The French toast (while small) was absolutely packed with flavor! I highly recommend giving it a try! On the other hand, the flatbread wasn’t for me. Next time I’ll definitely try something else — there’s so many vegan options to choose from!

Anna Belani-Ellis 5/5

Cosy dining experience with a great vegan menu, definitely a place we’d come back to. Warm and friendly staff. We had Bombay bomb burger, the penne and chocolate cake all of which were good. Getting a parking spot Sunday evening was not difficult.
