I've been here twice and it's been excellent both times. I prefer to eat clean and am dairy-free (but not vegan). I eat and cook a lot of vegan food and lived near SF for 3 years. I ate 1/2 of both items I ordered (brunch combo) and I'm so full! I had the breakfast taco and French Toast. Both were well-seasoned and substantial. I did not need meat or more protein. Both dishes I got were a perfect example of what vegan food should be - not a bunch of meat substitutes and imitations but genuinely good ingredients like fresh fruit and veggies and seasoning. They make their own plant milk blend and it makes a very good latte. I really should not order a pastry to go but the brownie and donut look very tempting. read more

Lauren and Claudine are totally delightful. We came in around 2 pm on Christmas Eve. We ordered lunch and then picked up several desserts to try with the rest of the family tonight! They are both so welcoming sharing lists of ingredients and tips on items I was most interested in trying to make in my home. We are located in South Carolina, but if we lived here, we definitely would eat here often. The entire menu is vegan. That is hard to find. Lunch was fantastic... the breakfast taco, black bean enchiladas, spaghetti squash lasagne! We ordered desserts, slices of: pecan pie, pumpkin pie, raw chocolate bar, carrot cookies, scones, and tahini chocolate chip cookies. Can't wait to try them. https://strivefoods.smartonlineorder.com/ for menu read more

Dedicated Vegan and Gluten Free Eatery. I bookmarked this restaurant while I was still living in the DMV. During a midweek self-care day, I figured this was this perfect opportunity to try Strive Foods. This neighborhood Vegan eatery is a gem in every way. From the moment you walk in, you're met with warm, welcoming energy. The staff was genuinely friendly, always taking time to chat, engage, and make you feel at home. They do Vegan food beautifully with their creative and flavorful recipes. The food is cooked and presented with in a communal setting so you can watch, sample, and discover. Their grab-and-go selection is fantastic too,l easy, high quality, and always something tempting. The weekends bring Brunch highlighting favorites like their French Toast, Pumpkin Pancakes, Avocado Toast, and Mushroom Galettes. For my own favorites, is the Quesadilla, full of delicious veggies/herbs filling, and the Salted Caramel Brownie, pure decadence and not overdone. The decor provides such an inspirational and warm environment. From the varied affirmations, mini-nooks (books, music and etc) provides a cozy environment. They also offer a variety of wellness retail products. Strives is more than a place to eat, it's a food-lovers' community, a spot where Vegan cuisine gets its due, and every visit feels special. Claudin and Lauren made my 1st visit extremely wonderful and full of light. read more

Strive Foods - Pick up window. 09.08.2025. - Vegan Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

In the area for an appointment, finding this local vegan spot sounded enticing for lunch. We were greeted by 2 friendly dogs who were soaking up the sun on the beds in the parking lot. Lots of options from breakfast tacos to veggie patties. We enjoyed the food as it was quite tasty. However, the dirty dishes on tables, same dogs in the kitchen, plus uncovered food for samples sans utensils on the counter and more food for sale on the counter are not sanitary food safety practices. For that reason, we won't be back. Unsure how this place passes inspections. Disappointing as the food, staff, and concept were enjoyable. read more

Strive Foods offers so many delicious plant based/vegan meals that are ready to grab and go! They also have family sized meals for purchase as well. You can even bring your own containers with you. The space itself isn't anything fancy or shiny, but the food is outstanding! Everything is fresh, organic, and made with the cleanest, local ingredients that will nourish your body and mind. The menu does change daily so keep that in mind if you're looking to get something specific. Don't skip the desserts and baked goods! The staff is always very friendly and I always have a delightful experience, especially when I get to see the owner's Husky! read more

If you're ever near sandy Springs area and craving a plant-based bite that actually fills you up, STRIVE FOODS is a must-visit. My family and I rolled through recently and ordered The Big Joe--a full-on vegan spread with a hearty omelette and some generous hashbrowns on the side. When I say this was a real meal, I mean it. No skimpy plates or light bites--we left full and satisfied. The omelette was packed, seasoned right, and the hashbrowns had that crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside vibe that's hard to get right, especially without animal products. STRIVE nailed it. But beyond the food, the ambience was what truly made the experience. The vibe inside is eclectic in the best way--think vibrant artwork, chill music, and an energy that feels like community. You don't just eat there--you belong there. As a vegan family, it's not every day we find a spot that checks all the boxes: flavor, portion size, and environment. STRIVE FOODS did just that.

Food was cold and nothing like displayed on the website. The hot soup shown in the picture was actually straight from the refrigerator. The salad was very small and chickpeas were hard. If this was represented in the pictures on the website then I would understand but I'm very disappointed and unsatisfied and particularly frustrated with the amount of money we spent here. I feel deceived and probably will never return. Money waste. read more

I am aware that an unhealthy gut is spiritual blockage that is connected to my root chakra. Eating @ Strive foods contribute to my spiritual balance, cleansing and nourishes my organism. read more

My review for this place is long overdue. Over the past several months, I have visited their stall at the Buckhead farmers market two times and visited the storefront in Sandy Springs three times. I love the cozy vibe of their storefront. I've tried their savory entrees as well as their pastries and desserts. I have previously ordered a raw cauliflower pizza, Thai-inspired bean soup and a flatbread. Strive shines in their desserts and pastries that are made with impeccable ingredients. Notable highlights include the snickers bar, seasonal harvest scone, and the raw cinnamon roll. It does seem like they are perpetually understaffed as there is usually only 1 person in the front and back of the house. Be sure to join their rewards program so you can accrue points. read more

My God My God, this place is so heavenly and divine. For starters Lauren and Claudine greeted us and gave us a tour of the food selections they had. From tacos, salads, soups, desserts, she showed us everything and stated that we could customize everything to our specifications. Everything looked great and I wanted to try everything. We tried the breakfast tacos, jackfruit tacos, mushroom galette, buffalo cauliflower, quesadillas, and there was such an explosion of flavors. It was just orgasmic. With each bite there were more flavors to enjoy and discover. The food is just so friggin delicious. By far the best vegan/ plant based food we have tried in several years. The key lime cake is sooooo good, the butterfinger thingy that my daughter had was just amazing. The decor, ambiance and vibe was so inviting and and immaculate. I really enjoyed everything about Strive! Thank you so much Lauren and Claudine! read more

At the recommendation of the staff we went in heavy on the breakfast tacos - so not disappointed. It's been a rough go on the visit to Atlanta to find restaurants that are still using fresh ingredients and offering a variety of vegan and gluten free options.

Strive is mainly a spot where you can easily grab vegan meals to go. Staff is happy to heat up your dishes and bring out plates if you wish to dine in instead, but their dining space is limited. We've tried tacos, pizzas, pastas, salads, and sweets. Meals are good, and I forget that I am eating vegan sometimes. There is a cute husky that roams around freely outside. read more

I went here today for the first time, because I wanted something clean and fresh to eat; and I absolutely love this place. Claudine, the owner is absolutely amazing and Sarah at the register was great as well. They made sure I was taken care of and had everything I needed. I went in to do a food vlog and got some great content to post! I will definitely be back. If you're ever in the area, you should check them out. You will not be disappointed! read more

Food was amazing and the service was excellent! It would be best for take out since there are only three tables. It's the first time I've ever gone to a restaurant that is 100% gluten free! I could have everything on the menu from appetizers to desserts! We had soups, margarita, pizza, spaghetti and brownies! It was all delicious! Shirley from LaGrange, GA read more

This place has a fantastic array of both savory and sweet assortments. The interior is very cozy and welcoming and it's an overall pleasant experience. The staff was super helpful and willing to explain all the offerings. I ordered a cauliflower Margherita pizza and an apple harvest treat. I tried the apple harvest first and it was just okay, it's more pleasing to the eye than to the palette. It was pretty much like an earthy scone that tasted like oats, apple, and nuts. The pizza was really good though! Very flavorful and light. Gives the feeling of indulgence while still being healthy. Overall I'd definitely try this place again, it's getting 3 stars mainly because the apple harvest was lack luster. But hopefully with my next visit I'll enjoy the selection more and will update my rating to a 4/5. Also, on a minor note, highly recommend the staff be mindful of talking over food. I hate saying it because they were so lovely, but there were some food trays on the display and the staff member was explaining the dishes. The trays were so close to her face so definetely need to be mindful of breathing/talking over the food. Thankfully most of the food is packaged and covered so overall not a huge deal, but an important reminder. read more

First of all...WOW! I come out to ATL for work a few times a year and as a gluten-free vegan it's challenging finding the perfect spots that checks all the boxes. While working on my latest project, I was in the mood for some vegan gluten free pancakes or waffles. I searched all around Buckhead and Midtown and couldn't find anything. Finally, Strive popped up and when I saw the menu I just knew it was the right choice. I called ahead of my visit and luckily got to speak with Claudine, the owner. She was so sweet and hearing that the place was busy further confirmed that I was in for a treat! My instincts were on point! I ordered so much food, partially because my eyes were bigger than my stomach but also I wanted to taste a little bit of everything. The waffles and poppyseed pancakes are chef's kiss to perfection. The tacos...sooo delicious. But the star of my heart was the Uttapam (a Mother's Day Special) Avocado Toast. It gave Gratitude Cafe in LA a run for its money for me. Soooo good that I had to place another order of toast to go! Service was wonderful and the atmosphere was super chill and comfy! I could have hug out there all day, if I didn't have anything else to do. Chatting it up with Claudine was great too! She was so sweet and her heart is definitely in the right place when it comes to serving delicious food to all of those interested in taking the plant-based vegan journey. Atlanta, you must make your way to Strive Foods. It's by far my favorite vegan, gluten free spot in Atlanta (Sandy Springs area)! See you there! Xoxo - CP read more

I am not often in this area, and had bookmarked this place to try the next time I was. This is mostly a grab n go, though they have a made to order brunch on the weekends. Hot foods can be warmed for you before you go. Everything is GF and vegan! There are a variety of base ingredients including Bob's cup for cup and oats. The breakfast tacos were scrumptious - hashbrowns, just egg, beyond sausage, pico (?) and they will add sliced avocado if available. There was a spicy sauce on the avocado (too spicy for me, I have no chill, but the flavor was awesome). We also tried the "quesadillas" which are really more like a taquito, rolled in a corn tortilla. Those were black beans and soy chorizo and the flavor was really good. Those come work pico and green salsa as well. These are maybe a better value at 3 for $13 than ~ $8+ for the breakfast taco each. (Taco Tuesday gets you 10% off!) We also tried the apple raspberry crostada (~$11) and a cranberry orange scone (~$9). These would be phenomenal toasted at home, but they didn't really make it that far. Definitely a splurge for the pricing,, but worth it for the taste. They also have a smoothies ($12.50+) and a refrigerated case with kombucha and my elderberry fairy products. The vibe is lovely and Lauren was very helpful. read more

Strive Foods - brunch menu - Vegan Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Strive Foods is our FAVORITE vegan cafe ever ~ anywhere we have ever lived. The owner and staff pour all their love, creativity & intentions into every detail of the cafe and dish you will savor. We love how, even after lunch hours, you can still get a delicious, nourishing meal that they warm up and you get to enjoy. They also have incredible juices! OMG! Not to mention our favorite, their key lime cheesecake. The pastries... they are out of this world. The food is uniquely healthy, locally sourced and a divine culinary treat for your palate to behold. The owner is absolutely lovely, profoundly cares, and 'strives' to contribute to elevating the community's health and well-being, as she also considers our beautiful planet and humans' impact when choosing a plant-based diet. How selfless is that?! We love all the decorations, the books you can read while you wait for your food, the two beautiful dog souls who greet you when you enter the space and the different and artsy decor and plants. Everywhere you look, little quotes and inspirations of the power that resides within your own being inspire and empower you. You literally leave this place healthier, with a full tummy and a happy, open, inspired heart and mind. We relocated to this area in the summer, and as soon as our families from overseas visit, we will take them to experience Strive Foods and the beautiful cafe. Thank you to the owner and her staff for being on this planet, for being a reflection of health and wellbeing, and for doing what you are doing. We see you, we appreciate you, we celebrate you, and we sincerely thank you. read more

Wow! A must-visit vegan spot if you are in Atlanta. I stopped by on a Wednesday morning shortly after they opened. I had seen photos of brunch dishes and a brunch menu on Yelp, but learned that brunch is only available on the weekends. On weekday mornings, they have specialty lattes, a variety of baked goods (including their very popular blueberry and banana cookies, which are so healthy they legit can be a breakfast), and breakfast tacos (which include black beans, vegan egg, a variety of vegetables, and vegan egg and are then topped with fresh avocado and, if you want, can also be wrapped in a collard leaf). I went with two breakfast tacos -- and loved them so much I ordered another one. They were so flavorful and had a variety of textures, too. Absolutely delicious! I took a few baked goods to go: a raw cinnamon roll made with pecan and oat flour and psyllium husk, tahini chocolate chip cookies, and a double chocolate pistachio cookie. The baked good were absolutely amazing. The cinnamon roll was fluffy and light, the tahini chocolate chip cookies were divine and not too sweet, and the double chocolate pistachio cookies had a rich chocolate flavor without being too sweet. The owner, Claudine, is so personable and friendly. We spoke for about fifteen minutes and I learned about her journey in the restaurant world. I am in Atlanta for another two days and I am definitely stopping by again before I fly back home!! read more

This is the coolest spot and a home away from home, for me! Strive and its surrounding community is lovely, not to mention the food! Everything is vegan, gluten free and inspires an interest in gourmet plant-based cuisine. The pretty cauliflower crust pizzas caught my eye and got me coming back. The weekend brunch has quickly become my favorite time to come here to eat. The avocado toast and French toast are two of my faves! Claudine's love for what she does shines through to each dish, and to each person she encounters, and I'm better for having Strive in my life. read more

It's always exciting to find raw vegan food that's not commeactually fresh and you know what's in the food. With that being said, I came across Strive Foods from a referral and from what I saw and the reviews - it looked pretty darn tasty! Location: It's Sandy springs area and located inside a plaza so great location and parking. Finding the actual building can be a little confusing because they don't have a huge sign on top of their spot. I wound up driving all the way up top to the other shops trying to find it. Appearance: The four stars is attributed to the appearance of the actual restaurant. It didn't seem as clean as I'd like. There were ladders and other objects like right behind the counter. It was an eye sore for sure. However the food looked absolutely amazing! Everything looked yummy and good and fresh as advertised! Menu items: Be aware, the menu items are fresh and seem to change daily. We went in for specific items and they weren't there so I think that is something that should be advertised "menu changes daily". Experience: I'm not sure who rung me up but she was awesome. Great personality, and knew the ingredients and menu very well. I felt like I was well versed in what they had to offer. Overall, I would definitely go back just hoping it will not leave me feeling as if my food was made and no one watched their hands after they got done painting or prepping in the back. read more

Review #71/2019, #475 Finally, STRIVE opened their brick and mortar! After frequenting them at the Marietta Farmers Market, I'm happy to make my first visit here. +. It's located off Sandy Springs Circle and Cliftwood Drive next to the old movie theater. It's tiny and easy to miss but this place is filled with so many guilt free goodies! FRESH and DELICIOUS! +++. Strive makes fresh made healthy meals and snacks ( RAW, GF, Vegan) that are absolutely delectable... cookies, granola, pizzas, salad bowls. smoothies and more... There are a refrigerator full of premades and a glass show case full of Healthy food. So a lot more choices than I had seen before. Tried a sample of the fruit cake ( no, not like what you know from department stores), and it was soooo yummy! The vegeful pizza looked great too. I got my fresh made green smoothie and it was healthy and delicious! Amazing how she puts them together so they taste divine. +. Price is reasonable for the quality and quantity. ++. Service is friendly, cheerful and attentive! +++. Plenty of parking in a lot shared with a theater and a gym. I'm a fan and haven't had anything I've not liked yet. You can still get Strive foods they wholesale to many retailers around the Metro too. This Is a great place to hit up before or after a hike or a workout! Or if you just want something good for you that tastes good. Oh, I'll definitely be back :-)). read more
