Expensive but fabulous

I appreciate they also have gluten-free options. I tried an amazing wrap that was full of flavor. I also had their berry Waffles. The hint of lavender on them was delightful, the berries were fresh, and the coconut whipped cream was tasty. Best waffles I've ever had.
Prices are high but I was on vacation and just happy to find vegan food options that tasted great.

Quality

Despite being expensive, the food did seem fresh and flavorful. The breakfast wrap was delicious. The cashew cheese did have a bit of a strong taste, but overall a good choice and it filled me up just having that. The chocolate covered strawberry bowl was just ok. Chai latte was pretty good, decently sized as well (24oz we think)

Fruitive

This restaurant offers a great menu and experience for people looking for raw vegan options, high raw vegan options, or just an all vegan restaurant. The food here was flavorful. I especially enjoyed their waffles.

Pros: I like that there were a lot of raw vegan options., The staff was really friendly., The restaurant was very charming and cozy.

Cons: The menu could have been a little larger.

Healthy and Tasty breakfast/brunch

Had the amazing breakfast wrap with tofu scramble which I highly recommend, tasted the nice avocado toast and enjoyed cold brew coffee and iron berry drink.

Everything was wonderful, nice clean seating area and parking is easy which is a plus #Veganuary

BEST/ONLY/TRUE Whole Food Plant Based Experience!

FRUITIVE @ 1624 Laskin Road in VA Beach is a hidden treasure & way under-promoted! My husband & I have been Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) for 4 years and this is the 1st and only high-quality restaurant we've found in all that time that actually served organic, whole, fresh, & healthy vegan food the same way we would cook it at home -- just real & whole plants (fruits, veggies, grains, beans, nuts, & seeds) -- YUM! Additionally, we sat outside, had amazing & quick service, and had a great conversation with the owner (Greg) and his family who were visiting from their other FRUITIVE in DC, as well as one of the staff members who is also eating WFPB. We got wraps, smoothies, fruit bowls, and salad and all of it was CREATIVE & DELICIOUS. Even our meat-eating 21-year-old Navy PO2 son said the fajita here was better than a real one. Driving out of your way and paying more than you might normally pay is WELL WORTH IT. I have a Master's Degree in Nutrition & a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate, so I know that this WFPB food can prevent and reverse disease, help achieve ideal weight, and add many healthy years to your life. I just cannot praise Greg, FRUITIVE, & WFPB enough. My new dream is to open a franchise under Greg in 2025! Remember Daniel 1:12-16 -- the first WFPB experiment in history? WFPB works!

Pros: 100% Organic, 100% Whole Food Plant Based, Quick, friendly, creative, healthy, & delicious!

Calm Atmosphere

From start to finish, this is definitely the place to go to if you’re looking for fresh 100% vegan food. The staff here are very friendly and helpful, it looks and smells clean on the inside, and their menu is easy to read. Today, I got a lemon ginger cooler with an antioxidant super berry bowl and it was so good! It’s helpful that the produce is fresh and properly stored. Will be coming here again and again!

A breath of fresh air

It’s so great to find a place with actual healthy stuff rather than fried junk and a bunch of fake meat. This is what vegan food should be
The staff are super helpful and friendly

Delicious Smoothies/Liquid Meals

My favorite thing to get at Fruitive is their liquid meals. They use dates as natural sweetener and they are SO good and so filling! The only downside is that it is really expensive. It is definitely a once in a while treat.

Pros: Everything is plant-based, Best Liquid meals/smoothies

Cons: Expensive

Fresh and delicious

Got lunch here when passing through the area. Got the salad with edamame. Liked it so much, ordered it again on my return trip substituting noodles for extra edamame.

One of my favorite spots

I’ve been coming here since it opened many years ago. I’ve probably tried everything on the menu and I’ve loved it all. My favorites are the southwest wrap, coffee date smoothie, and the pizzas.

This place is pricey. I used to go when I worked in the hilltop area but I don’t go as often. I love the avocado herb toast and collard wraps. My favorite smoothie is the Cacao Pow.

Pros: Everything is vegan

Cool atmosphere, excellent food!

Just had lunch here with my two teenage daughters and was thrilled with how great everything was. My fourteen y/o is on a dairy free diet and it’s been difficult to find restaurants that offer good options for her. She loved the ABC Waffles. They were topped with almond butter, bananas & cocoa nibs, and came with a side of maple syrup & whipped coconut cream. My other daughter and I split an Avocado Herb Toast and we each had a Collard Southwest Taco. The predominant herb on the toast was oregano and they reminded us of pizza. When my 16 y/o saw the tacos were wrapped in a large lettuce leaf instead of a taco shell, she was like “no way”. Fortunately she agreed to try one and she loved it. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. We’ll definitely be back!

Hail to the kale salad.

Very satisfying salad with a nice sweet-savory contrast.
Unlike what you find in other places, this salad is full of nutrients, instead of just full of tasteless leaves.
The price is a little high, but you get a delicious vegan salad for it.

Too expensive

If you want to spend a lot of money on little bit of food then eat here. I got a panini which was nothing more than toast and veggies. I could have made it at home. It was nothing special even though the cashew cheese was really good. The sandwich didn't come with anything for $11. I've eaten at similar places and they always serve a side with a sandwich. Not at Fruitive! You'll pay a lot and leave hungry. Even the juices start at $7 and go up from there. It's too bad that a vegan restaurant charges too much just because it's vegan. That doesn't encourage others to eat this way.

I had the Avocado Herb Toast and the Strawberry Banana Smoothie - both were delicious! Prices are a bit high but worth it for the quality and freshness of food. I will return!

Fresh fully vegan cafe

I ate here for lunch on a Sunday with a work colleague. I appreciate that the entire menu is vegan. I got the Southwest salad which was a nice, light option. I think the prices are a bit high for what you’re getting. I understand that some of the price is because they use a lot of organic ingredients.

Pros: All vegan cafe, Lots of fresh options

Cons: A little pricey
