    The Pure Vida Bowl is insanely good! I got it without black beans to make it Paleo-friendly :) I will definitely be back when I'm in town!

    The vegan breakfast I had was delicious. Scrambled tofu can always go either bad or really good, but they season everything really well!!! Biscuit was delicious as well

    Super fresh, organic foods. Decided to keep it super healthy with a soup and salad. The one time I ever order like this. Walked away feeling great.

    Great food, that also happens to be healthy. The customer service is a bit pokey, but other than that, it is a great place for breakfast. They also have a great selection of loose leaf teas.

    Hempower smoothie was as delicious as the food. Unfortunately were out of champagne for mimosas, but the kind and friendly staff refunded my friend and got him a beer instead. Great atmosphere!

    The food here is great especially if you have certain dietary restrictions. With that in mind there is usually a wait and the food is rarely worth it.

    Avocado lox sandwich was so good. The iced coffee was the best iced coffee I've maybe ever had.

    Chai Mate Latte is to die for! The soup of the day was tasty but I was expecting actual potatoes in a baked potato soup, not just cream of potato. Very odd!

    The comfy chairs by the window downstairs is one of my favorite spots in AVL. Bring a book and get the matcha latte!

    Nice place for breakfast. Not for the coffee snob. Cappuccino was over extracted, burnt, and there was "macro"foam. Could be operator dependent.

    Excellent food, but ended up waiting nearly an hour (53 minutes...) for a simple smoothie. Don't come here unless you have some time to kill.
