This place is consistently good. We visit the area annually, and we have been coming to Cafe Evergreen since they opened several years ago. The menu is creative and thoughtful, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is friendly. On this particular dinner visit, we enjoyed their Tuesday two-meals-for-$30 special-- that's four courses for two people for $30!! The falafel and quinoa cakes were delicious. The kale potato soup and thai salad were excellent. The eggplant "parm" and chicken noodle dinners were flavorful and yummy. They even included two little mousse dessert cups, (chocolate and peanut butter chocolate, vegan and scrumptious!). We really enjoy this place, and hope you will, too! P.S.-- their smoothie and juice bar is open each morning and offers a large variety of healthy and tasty options!! read more

Came here on a Friday and had never been. Drove into the parking lot, which looked empty but a tall thin older blond woman was walking into the building, so we asked if they were serving breakfast. With a smirk on her face, she nods her head yes and continues to walk in. It was early and I'm thinking okay maybe they're still not open yet so we walked in and figured we'd wait. There are two ladies and a gentleman behind the counter looking at us and talking amongst themselves. We stood there in front of them for ten minutes without a greeting or a question from them. Finally, one of the ladies asks if we're here for breakfast and we answered yes then she tells us that they only serve breakfast on Saturdays. So first of all, why didn't they tell us that when we first walked in, I know they saw us because our eyes met? Secondly, why isn't that information clearly stated on the website or anywhere else for that matter?! As for the smirky woman, she was just rude and couldn't care less what we were walking into. We're not tourist and we're always looking for new healthy alternatives. I read the reviews, looked at their menu online and it looked like a place I could happily spend my money in since we live nearby but after this incident, I don't think I want to give them my business. read more

I'm from California and their food reminds me of there. I like the seaweed noodles. Mom always has the salmon. Dad was glad there was a steak. Very tasty, I love the smoothies too. Mmmm mango. Nice open atmosphere, not too loud, sometimes the music is kinda loud, if you sit under the speaker. Small dining room and service is not speedy. Great place to take visitors who are health conscious. Or if you want to try something different. I always give gift certificates to there for Xmas. read more

Came to this place and was excited about he menu. The upsetting situation is the waitress never came back to follow up with us and never asked if I wanted another beer. The waitress also recommended avocado on the vegetarian Reuben but failed to tell me it was $3 more. The Reuben was not that great To state with and I've had this kind of sandwich before at other restaurants. It was a disappointing experience. I ate there this past wed with my wife and son. I can't recommend this place and given my neighbors are going to visit I had to share my experience to avoid them having a bad dinner and to just go across the street for dinner. read more

Found this lunch spot on Yelp (of course) and as we were passing right by...glad we stopped in. The space is comfy and the staff is warm and friendly. The food is health conscious, fresh and wonderful. The selections of dishes, teas and smoothies will please the vegans and carnivores alike. I had the most amazing grass fed steak sandwich with onions and mushrooms, and my wife opted for a healthy salad. read more

Evergreen is a real gem in this small beach town. It's easy to overlook from the street, but it's a great location on your way to or from the beach or shops in Downtown Venice. The restaurant has a juice bar up front (with slightly earlier hours during the week), and a market around the back. The atmosphere inside is clean and relaxing with a fireplace, big windows, and a wall of greenery. There always seems to be a lot of people working here, which means you are well taken care of - food arrives promptly and drinks are refilled. The food is delicious, organic, and mostly light-tasting. The kind of food that is flavorful, fresh, and filling, but not in huge (double/triple?) portions common in America. So you leave feeling satisfied and peppy, not sluggish and hating yourself. We've been in town about a week and have eaten here for dinner, lunch, and breakfast, along with a bonus stop for juice to go. This trip is about relaxing and rejuvenating and I'm so glad to have food options that can help me in this goal instead of fried, processed, preservative-laden junk! It seems like lunch is their busy time, so later in the week you may try to arrive at off-peak times. Breakfast on Sunday morning was not crowded. Specific food we ordered: butternut squash ravioli (vegan) with a fresh side salad was excellent, filling and with a good flavor and texture. I'm a meat eater and didn't feel like I was missing out. Quinoa cakes were cheesy and accompanied by a light dressing. They fell apart a bit, but were not too difficult to eat. Interesting texture and good flavor, especially thanks to the sauce and greens. I had these with a cup of soup for lunch. Cranberry pecan pie was a tall, thick wedge of mostly cranberries with a few pecans. This was definitely not what I was expected, but was completely delicious and apparently low calorie. Good to share. Temple Tonic smoothie - my favorite. No banana to overpower the drink. Great consistency thanks to high grade equipment at the smoothie bar. They even got my mom hooked on wheat grass juice! Prices here can't be beat for fresh, homemade, organic food. In a major metropolitan area you could pay nearly double. read more

It is not that often that one would plan a cafe stop that is "out of the way" on their vacation, but we never come within 50 miles of this place without stopping. Café Evergreen is well worth it! Their smoothie bar is full of tantalizing concoctions that make decision making a chore. They also have my personal fav...wheatgrass shots with a natural foam on top! The Avocado Salad is huge and could be shared if you were not very hungry. I was hungry so I ate the whole thing. And get this - they bring complementary edamame beans to the table! Delish!!! Oh...and last but not least, the service is EXCELLENT !!! read more

I have eaten here many times in the past and the food was always exceptional. Not so today. I stopped in with a friend for the Savor Sarasota menu and we both ordered the Thai chicken salad with grilled falafel and quinoa cakes as appetizers. The falafel was gritty, as in grains of sand imbedded in it - perhaps the chickpeas hadn't been properly rinsed? A complaint to the wait staff brought only the response that chickpeas were often gritty. The chicken salad was mostly cabbage, with a meager serving of cubed chicken that was tough and flavorless - certainly not organic and fresh. The peanut sauce was barely there. The only saving grace to this meal was the sublime 'shot glass' chocolate and peanut butter mousse dessert. Unfortunately, it was not enough to entice me back to Evergreen again. read more

I've eaten at the cafe many times in my visits to Venice. It is always top quality and very healthy. Recently I had the Ahi Tuna Bowl, which came with a delicious sauce and sautéed veggies. You really can't go wrong with any of the dishes. The Reubens are awesome, the baked sweet potato fries are delicious and they do an incredible vegan quinoa club sandwich! read more

This was our first time visiting, so we sampled quite a bit on the menu. Started with the ahi tuna appetizer, I had the quinoa cakes, traditional Reuben, roasted cauliflower and my husband had the Evergreen benedict with potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious and I had to take some home. I feel like their pricing is in line with the quality and quantity of the food and the attention to detail. We'll definitely return. read more

The interior decor is garden fresh and whimsical, and the staff is the best. Front part is for juices and vitamin-loaded shots of good health. Their salads are huge and the burger unexpectedly French styled with fries and special sauces. Whether you desire a small soup or a full entree, this place has deliciousness on every level. Tables seat four people comfortably. Bring friends! read more

Oh what a bright, cheerful, delightful, delicious and nutritious restaurant! The selection of foods is diverse. Organic never looked so good! The plates are beautifully presented. The food is as fresh as fresh can be. I adore the Raw Avocado Sliders. The roasted Cauliflower will keep you coming back. But my piece de resistance is their Roasted Beet Reuben. Oven Roasted Pickled Beets, sauerkraut, yummy vegan salad dressing on marble rye. Come with a big appetite! And to top it off, their cafe Latte from their magnificent coffee bar is the best around. read more

Super place for vegetarians and folks that eat gluten free. They also have many things for those that don't follow a special diet. The place was bright, clean and there were many choices. Our server was efficient and friendly. The carrot cake smoothie was awesome! My hubby had the burger with a GF bun and I had the GF avocado wrap. Will go back if ever in the area again. read more

The food was beautifully prepared. I had their chicken pesto. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, tender crisp and very fresh. The chicken had wonderful flavor and the feta cheese topping added a nice tartness. Service was friendly and attentive without being forward. Love this place. read more

Great food and impressive variety. There is definitely something for everyone on the menu. Service has been excellent anytime I've been there. A clean restaurant with exceptional service and very good food. read more

If you like eating food that is cooked clean and organic, I would definitely recommend this place.

Unique dishes, foods pretty good, relaxed atmosphere - can get a little pricey adding sides, drinks etc

I eat here with my mom when I come to visit. The service is very friendly, and the food is fantastic-healthy and very tasty.

Great lunch. Fresh ingredients, inventive menu. Good service. Good value. Would highly recommend.

The best restaurant for those of us who like fresh, yummy food. A great place for a couples dinner or hanging with your best friend. Something on the menu for everyone! read more

Love the food But the waitress today was very rude and really ignored us. Asked to split the bill. Didn't do it then we sat and waited for the bill for 15 minutes. Then was annoyed because we asked to split, again. Waited again. read more

I grew up in Venice and am sad that Cafe Evergreen popped up AFTER I moved away. This is my absolute favorite restaurant!!! I come to eat here every chance I get when I visit my mom - her and I often eat here together. Their diverse menu is healthy, delicious, and full of solid vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. They have something for everyone at fair prices! Not to mention, the atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is friendly. This is a perfect place to stop for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. :) read more

Classy atmosphere, friendly and attentive hosts, amazing service. Food left us speechless! We started with the fresh lemonade, matcha tea and complementary edamame beans. We both ordered the bison burger, she had the sweet potato fries and I had the mac n cheese. The fries were fresh, crispy and bursting with flavor, my mac n cheese was simply amazing, creamy but not runny or overly thick! The burgers were filled with flavor and cooked to a perfect medium! My girlfriend opted for the peanut butter chocolate desert, you could taste the fresh ingredients, nothing processed here! Our waitress, Tessa, was attentive, informative, and extremely pleasant. She had at least three other tables yet I never had to ask for a refill or wonder if she forgot us. The recommendation is obvious but to push the point; we live two hours away and we are already planning our next visit! read more

My absolute favorite breakfast/lunch spot in Nokomis! Get a smoothie!! The eggs Benedict with cheesy quinoa cakes are 5 stars. As is the vegetarian sandwich and the chicken club! YUM such good quality ingredients. read more

Great food. Outside seating was a little noisy from the road traffic. Drink menu was a little overwhelming with so many to choose from.

This is my favorite place to eat in the Venice/Nokomis area. I try something new every time and I have yet to find something I don't like on the menu. I always recommend this place to my friends and coworkers. read more

Love! Ginger/Pineapple kombucha so good. Voted best Vegetarian sandwich and I agree. Went for lunch but will come back for dinner...and a bottle of wine! read more

As a long time loyal customer of cafe evergreen, I write this with disappointment. A few reasons for this review, For being a "healthy" concept, the menu is lacking evolvement. Serving items like American cheese, doesn't really embody a truly healthy restaurant. CE could very easily integrate a plant based cheese (not a common chain brand), and some other plant based menu items that would add some flavor and creativity to the menu. They really do a great job on the drink menu. If they could incorporate some food menu creativity and innovate to "keep up with the times and trends" a bit more, this would make a huge difference. Servers/service- they are friendly, but seemingly behind in some of the regards listed above and not the most professional when not at the table (taking masks on and off) + I could hear the server talking about our table when we asked about an item that came to the table not as originally described. For all of the feedback above, it's a bit overpriced. read more

Cafe Evergreen is fresh and always has new vegan items to try. Their juice is delicious and smoothies a must. We loved their onion bread with avocado that was freshly made in a dehydrator (OMG so tasty)! read more

The Evergreen Club is one of the best sandwiches EVER. I'm not a vegetarian. I can't say I even like beets. But this is just stellar! We were visiting the nearby dog beach and it was just on the map on the way. What a stroke of luck! Service was great! Food was greater. Also try the roasted cauliflower. read more

I treated myself to a vacation lunch at Cafe Evergreen. I'm never disappointed and the menu is varied. Something for everyone. I had the avocado wrap and the probiotic watermelon mint tea. The very best Sarasota county had to offer. read more

Food is very good and the service was good. I enjoy eating healthily food. I recommend this place for e everyone.

Overpriced and underwhelming. My black bean burger was falling apart and lacked taste. Sweet potatoes fries also had no taste.

Smashed avocado, tomato, manchego, sprouts and an egg on crispy, thin dehydrated onion bread. So fresh, light and filling! Love this place.

Delicious food!! The owners are so inviting and run an amazing restaurant. Traveled from tampa to experience this delicious & HEALTHY food.

Quaint environment. Great food. Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Place filled up quickly.

Love this place!! I went several times during my stay in Florida. Just wish they had oat milk!!

Very clean and yummy food and fast service. They make meals to accommodate all sorts of diets. Organic, vegan, gluten free, you name it! And they make it tasty too! The food creations are so creative. Nothing I could ever think of myself. From the spiced peas as an appetizer to microgreens on dishes this place is a very nice cafe. read more

We love this place. We have always sat outside so we can bring our puppy for dinner with us. We are STUCK on the Vegan Roasted Beet Reuben. YUM! We also really enjoy the Raw Avocado Sliders. Their juices are really good too. We LOVE the complimentary edamame steamed bowl. How lovely to offer them! Sometimes we are forgotten sitting outside but it is never for long. Anyway, we drive down from Parrish on a regular date night. :D We HOPE to keep coming back. read more
