I stopped by Fruitive while running errands on Monday. A delicious gem tucked in the hilltop north shopping center. When I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly staff and I was drawn to the decor. Straight back it looked like a little library, how cute! For a holiday, it wasn't busy! There were about 6 other people in there, 5 of them being together. After taking way too long to decide, I went with the "coffee date" smoothie which had cold brew coffee, almond milk, banana, peanut butter, raw cacao and dates. The small was $12.12. A little pricey; but for organic nowadays, that's the price you pay! While I waited, I admired the ambiance of the spot, even the bathroom was aesthetic! It happened to be Fruitives birthday over the weekend, so Chris at the front gave me a reusable bamboo straw and a little keychain! So sweet. My order took about 5 minutes! The first sip was exactly what I was looking for. Something refreshing, slightly sweet and the perfect morning pick me up! I enjoyed my smoothie outside for a little before heading out to finish my errands. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, depending on your vibe! I definitely look forward to stopping by again to grab one of their food items! The bowls and wraps sounded sooo good. read more

What a cool Vegan café. I stopped in for a smoothie and salad. The staff greeted me. Smoothie was coffee based and very filling. The salad was kale based and they offered many options for customizing your salad. The salad was fresh. I will note that I had issues with the app and tried to call the store. There is not a direct number, but chat/text you could use. This was a bit of the pain as the store at the other was the DC location and they have to call Va Beach to get updates. Otherwise, everything else was fine. The space is inviting and I would definitely visit here again. read more

I wish there were more places like Fruitive in the Hampton roads area. Health is wealth. Prices for menu items were very reasonable. The book and little seating lounge in the back was very cozy and welcoming. The staff greeted us with a smile and gave us tips on what to order. I had the soup of the day and it was delicious and filling. The Cacao Pow!!! smoothie is a not too sweet delight with a little kick to it. I plan to come back often to try more items on the menu. read more

You can count on Fruitive when you are in the mood for some healthy fuel. My partner and I love the FIT smoothie. Blueberries, banana, and peanut butter. I sub almond butter and add unflavored protein to mine. We love to come early in the morning and really enjoy the tunes and vibe from the staff. The interior reminds me of a vintage library which I love and yes. Instagram worthy. The menu includes wraps, salads, avocado toast, smoothies and fresh squeezed juice. It can get pricey but their loyalty program offers $2, $5 and $10 off coupons. As far as smoothie shops go fruitive may be the best in the area. read more

My mom got hungry, so we stopped by here for a quick snack. Their menu ranges from smoothies to salads to smoothie bowls, and as a plus they are located at the Hilltop so you can stop by while shopping!! You order at the register, and we ordered the berry immune smoothie and southwest salad (total of around $21). Food didn't take too long, and decided to sit there and eat at the tables. Everything was freshly made and tastes so flavorful!! I would highly recommend this place for a quick bite or even lunch!! read more

They no longer juice they pour from a plastic bottle for $16. No, thank you very much.

The ambiance, the friendliness of staff and the speedy checkout was beyond satisfaction. Everything is made fresh-plant based and certified organic! Never had anything from here I did not like. I ordered the maca berry superbowl; love anything with dragon fruit. And with the warmer weather approaching the superbowls and smoothies will be the go to items! Plenty of parking so you don't have to worry about that part. They have indoor and outdoor sitting areas. Need a changing table? They have one in their restrooms! As a mom, I always like to know if they have changing tables available. read more

Very hipster. Quite frankly, I didn't feel crunchy enough to be there. Maybe I needed a "boss babe" yeti? Anyway, the staff was super helpful! My fruit smoothie base bowl thing was really good. They sell already packaged juices, oats and smoothie. This place is all vegetarian. Gluten free and whatever else you can't eat free. Maybe not 100% nut free but you get it. They do have kids stuff for kids but mine won't like how all this stuff is mixed. read more

This was the first time I noticed the place, a plant based spot so I had to check it out. I ordered the southwestern wrap and it was delicious. This was a whole wheat tortilla stuffed with romaine lettuce, a wild rice blend I believe, black bean and corn salsa, avocado, red peppers, cucumbers, grape tomatoes,hummus and Ranch dressing. Perfected combination! My only complaint was that the wrap was very loose so everything almost fell out.The service was swift everyone was polite. Now I wish I took photos for the inside it's small but just enough to be comforting and inviting. This might be one of my go to spots! read more

This is not the original Fruitive; the portions are much smaller. Never again! It's a very expensive knockoff.

I finally hit up the pioneer of healthy on their 6th anniversary at the beach. It's been a long overdue visit and I was excited to try one of their beautiful bowls. Located in the Hilltop Shoppes aka Hilltop East. Surface parking is plentiful and I found the lot tidy. The walk up to the business revealed a patio with several tables. Some minor debris was spotted. All the tables were clean. Founded on May 25th 2012 Fruitive was the first certified fast casual organic restaurant in North America. They are 100% plant based. Prior to this week I did not realize this and could not help but be impressed. The quality of their products are never sacrificed. Fruitive is hardcore to their mission of providing customers with a "genuine, valuable, authentic & worthy of their dime" vegetarian experience. The Hilltop decor is noteworthy. It resembles a library with "real" books on the shelf you can pull off and enjoy over a bowl, or smoothie. The dark wood of the bookcases contrast with the lighter of the floor. The space is small with a few tables and a larger booth to the rear that can accommodate four, or more. It's a super score if you can get it. Everything is nicely appointed including the unisex restroom which I found clean with proper supplies. I loved soaking in the cool vibe of the space. The cashier Brittani was super friendly and prepared to help a rookie to the business. She explained all the varieties of bowls which I focused on. Furthermore she and staff Heather educated me on their business model which I was quite naive about. It's was fantastic to celebrate their 6th anniversary with them. Checkout was a breeze with their iPad system that allows for tipping. My order the Pro / cashew milk, pitaya, blueberries, strawberries, kale, avocado, spinach, dates, vanilla extract. Topped w/ granola, banana, seasonal berries, almond butter, hemp seeds. I could have a Pro everyday of my life...WOW! Coffee is not served at this location, but you can find at others. Self serve fresh fruit flavored water is at the bar by paper, or glass. I found the cups too small and constantly had to refill. Bussing can be by customer, or staff as they will happily clean up after you as I found. Thank you to Brittani for guiding me through the menu that was foreign to this carnivore. Also a shoutout to the artist behind the bowl Lauren. At Fruitive the presentation to customers is as important as the contents. The employees are passionate about what they do and support the company's mission. It's not just a job to staff its an obsession to bring their guest the very best products. Fruitive has three Hampton Roads locations and one in downtown District of Columbia. A fifth store will open in DC at DuPont Circle over the Summer 2018. Without hesitation I would recommend and will return. read more

Very first time trying one of the juices from here. We decided on the carrot, pineapple and orange. It was extremely fresh and although I would have enjoyed a tad bit more sweetness to it, it was definitely refreshing and yummy. I love the decor and atmosphere this place brings to the eyes. It's very relaxing and peaceful. We lucked out and were able to catch the local art market they had going on. They often have vendors here so it's definitely a local spot supporting other local small businesses. That is to be appreciated for sure! Can't wait to come back and try one of their bowls! read more

My friend wanted to go to this place for lunch, so I thought I'd give it a try. This place is very cute on the inside, and offers many healthy options in different forms (liquid meals - smoothies, juices, savory meals - wraps and lettuce tacos, and açaí bowls). I ordered the Tuscan wrap because it looked good on the screen, but you have to ask what's in certain items if it's not because for some reason the menu just has the names of the food items but no clue as to what's in them. The Tuscan wrap was 11.95. I loved the texture of it, but it was just texture really. It lacked solid flavor, maybe needed some salt and some sauce of anything. I also ordered the Pineapple Xpress juice (pineapple, pear, ginger, aloe Vera) and it was delicious. It better be delicious for $7 though. It was listed as $6, but then they add a random $1 bottle deposit to your tab instead of just listing the drink as $7. Service was wonderful, however. The cashier explained to me what was in each thing (you have to if you want to know what you're ordering) but besides that, I'm not sure the price justifies all that I ordered. I probably won't return if I'm hungry because there are a ton of "healthy" places that give you more flavor and bang for your buck. This is one of those restaurants that probably overcharge due to people wanting to go somewhere healthy and think they need to pay top dollar for it. Cute for Instagram though! read more

So freaking DELICIOUS!!! Just stopped by for a late lunch and was immediately met with a very kind greeting from both men who were working there. I ordered half avocado herb toast and 8oz of the Hagerstown chili. If you haven't tried it... you're missing out. 10/10 if I could. The two men working today were so thoughtful and absolutely crushed making my meal and taking orders from other customers. One of them even came out from behind the kitchen/counter and put the rest of the items I purchased into my bag for me. Not only was the food delicious, but superb customer service as well!!! read more

Fruitive - Southwest Quesadilla Roasted Veggie Pizza - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

First time visiting and I loved this place already! The ladies behind the counter were so pleasant and patient with me. They giggled because they had to teach me how to say Açaí lol! Cute experience. So the place is cute and trendy. Cozy. Not a place for a team of people or a larger family like mine. It is however great for quick in and out service for breakfast and lunch. It looks like a library with a smoothie bar. Books and shelves were the primary decor. Lots of wood. I liked it. There is outdoor seating if you're into that. I ordered the seasonal spice açaí bowl. It was my first time ever trying this dish. It was served in a decent sized bowl with lid. My toppings included coconut shavings, a banana, almond butter, apples, and cinnamon spices. Perfect presentation. I do have to give honest opinion that might not be so pleasant. I don't usually spend over $6 for breakfast so this $14 breakfast was a bit much for me. Definitely not a place I could visit daily because I simply don't believe in splurging daily(although they do have cheaper options just not what works for me). Now my next and final disappointment is that I could not order online. I'm sure this will be worked out in the future. Otherwise the place was great! AND CLEAN! read more

GREAT place; i love their food... love their smoothies. i've really meant to do this review for a long time, been a fan for what must be years now and i'm glad to see they're thriving + glad they were able to put out a location in norfolk. i think... that the quality of the food has kinda decreased & things have gotten WAY more expensive as time has passed, and it probably has a lot to do with the fact that they're gaining more attention + probably have less time to make things quite the way they used to? i don't really blame anyone for that, but i think its worth noting. but anyway, they're still one of my faves. also, a quick piece of advice for anyone stopping by for the first time- don't go around lunch hours; there isn't much seating & they get crowded at lunch, so unless you want your food to-go, watch out for that. read more

Best salads and wraps ever!! The staff are super nice! wonderful atmosphere, love the new look!

Nomssssssssss. I've only eaten here twice now but I've been pleased both times. The first time I got the Tuscan Kale Grilled Wrap. First, it's HUGE. It's packed with kale, quinoa, butternut squash, caramelized onions, broccoli, and chickpeas and has hummus and basil mayo inside a wheat wrap. YUM. If you have a sensitive stomach you will probably have gas... I know my husband was pretty upset with my selection. lol! On this most recent trip I went with the Cucumber Sandwich which is probably my new favorite thing I've ever eaten in my LIFE. OMG. It was so amazeballs. Like you need to eat it... now! It comes on fiber bread with Vegenaise, tons of avocado, a layer of cucumbers, tomatoes, and alfalfa sprouts. I was worried it wouldn't keep me full through dinner since we had about 8 miles of hike ahead but it was large and thick with veggies (most of which were avocados) so it hit the spot and did it's job. My friend got the avocado toast and a smoothie. I saw a few other things I want to try and I've always wanted to try one of the bowls... so I'm going to have to try to make it a point to come over here for lunch more often or bring some of my friends here... read more

If anyone is a breakfast of champions type of person, you should definitely come on down to Fruitive. After a breakfast from here, I felt very content and full and we went for a 2 mile walk along the beach. What we ordered: 1. F.I.T. Smoothies: Almond Milk, Peanut Butter, Blueberries and Bananas 2. Early Riser Wraps: Whole Wheat Tortilla Shell, Quinoa, Black Bean and Corn Salsa, Roasted Mushrooms and Spinach, Caramelized Onions, Red Peppers, Pico De Gallo, Cashew Cream and Cashew Cheese, Cayenne Pepper and Bragg Seasoning. Soo soo good! Delicious and mouthwatering! We both couldn't put it down. It was so spot on we couldn't stop to exhale, we inhaled that food like it was heavenly. I would definitely rate that one of the best breakfast wraps I have ever had. Definitely a spot to hit again!! read more

Stopped in for a quick smoothie. The coffee date did not disappoint. I can't wait foe my next "date". Next time I know to get the 24oz instead. Oh and they have reusable glass straws for purchase. I had been looking for one to store in my purse. Exactly what I needed. read more

Was here visiting from TX and was excited to see an all vegan restaurant pretty close to VA Beach! The food here was really good. I ordered the Southwest wrap and Power Protein Salad Bowl. The ginger dressing on the salad was sooo good. I wish they had one closer to me because I would definitely be eating there all the time One weird thing... I went to get some hot sauce for the wrap but they didn't have any. so I just asked for some salsa and she handed me a small ramekin of beans, chopped onion and corn... maybe it's a Texas thing but that ain't salsa! read more

This place is always exceeding my expectations when it comes to food and freshness. I can't suggest one thing because it's all great. My top favorite is the Avo Cucumber sandwich, Southwest salad, and the PB No J smoothie bowl. The food is the freshest you will get. They are the only Certified Organic Plant based cafe in the Virginia Beach area and they are killing the food scene. I am not Vegan but I love to eat healthy and I highly recommend this place.

Walking in, the cafe is so cute!! It's very cozy and artsy/hipster vibes, and the decor is literary themed. We had never been before, so the staff was very helpful in answering all of our questions and providing recommendations. - My two friends got the antioxidant bowl and enjoyed it! I got the PB no J. It was about $12 without tax. The base was almond milk, banana, acai, and peanut butter. It was topped with granola, banana, cacao nibs, strawberries, and hemp seeds. I think the granola was homemade - it was very good and crunchy and had some nuts/seeds in it too. - The bowl was very large and filling, which I loved. The topping to base ratio was great as well - I didn't run out of toppings before finishing the base, which is ideal for me. My only complaint was that the base was a little bit watery for me, but it was still pretty good! I will definitely go back if I'm in the area again! The other superfood bowls look great as do their waffles, salads, sandwiches, and wraps! Honestly their entire menu looks good, and based on this acai bowl, I'm sure it is. Lots of healthy and innovative options! - I have very high acai standards, and this met them! Not the #1 best acai I have ever had, but still great!! Very high-quality ingredients and done well! Thank you for having us, Fruitive! read more

I was excited to try this place after reading many positive reviews and seeing pictures of delicious looking food. However, I was really disappointed with my order. I had the avo cucumber sandwich and for about $9 (tax included), it tasted like I paid more for the two slices of bread than what was between them. It seemed like the sandwich had only a handful of cucumbers and tomatoes, maybe a quarter of an avocado, and then sparsely sprinkled with microgreens. Atmosphere was nice but menu is overall pretty pricey. For the price I paid, I was expecting to be amazed but I wasn't. Maybe the other food items are worth it but I don't want to drop another $9 and risk being disappointed again. read more
