Favorite Place!

The environment of this restaurant is amazing! It’s like an old library with lots of live plants. And the customer service the few times I’ve visited was amazing! My favorite thing so far is the avocado-portobello mushroom toast sandwich. Would definitely recommend! It’s nice going to a place that I can safely eat anything on the menu!!

Pros: Entirely vegan menu, Very tasty and healthy food, Good environment/atmosphere

Cons: On the expensive side (but still worth it!)

great quality good

I ordered the Tuscan kale wrap and it was completely delicious. At first I thought the price was a little expensive, but the size of the wrap totally made up for it. I will definitely go back to Fruitive.

Okay okay

So I go here form time to time, because they are a bit pricey. You can make this stuff at home for wayyyyy less money. It's cool that they offer a military discount. Their food is good but it's not like omg to die for. If you don't mind spending quite a bit for a simple meal then stop by!

Cons: pretty pricey

Loved it!!

I found this little quaint restaurant through the recommendation of this app and I am so grateful that I went! The food was sooooo good and so filling! I got a breakfast wrap and my mouth was watering! I also had the carrot juice which was super good also! I definitely will be back and will even try to make some of the receipies at home!

Pros: Lots of choices, all plant based!

Delicious food, poor service.

Second time coming on my vacation. Everything from their wraps to ice cream to juices are good. However, not the best customer service. My mom got a food item and they left THREE of the main food items off. For as much as you pay for specialty vegan meals, they better include every single item as listed on the menu. That's what you're paying for! Also, they were having a special and it was listed on a board right by the cash register. Every time I asked about the special and free sampling, no one knew what I was talking about...

Cons: Pricing a little steep

100% vegan in Hampton Roads!

I love this place. Everything I've tried has been wonderful. I really appreciate the fact that I don't have to be concerned with cross-contamination as there are no animal products used! That's huge! My favorite go-to item is the southwest salad. The portions are huge and it's loaded with yummy stuff.

Pros: All vegan, Healthy and organic, Cool vibe

Absolutely Fantastic

Loved this place, it was so nice to be able to order anything on the menu and not have to read through everything to figure out if it was vegan. The staff was very friendly and helpful, food and drinks were delicious. Very warm and cozy feeling.

Delicious Food!

I've been to Fruitive twice and both times had great food. Their smoothie bowls are delicious and customizable (which means I can omit the sugar, yay!). Their house-made granola, which comes with the smoothie bowls, is also really good and sweetened with applesauce and maple syrup. I've also had a salad steamer there which was really good, although the "small" size was really too small of a portion for lunch. My omni family is been there before with mixed results. My mother loved the smoothie bowls, but my other family members were not thrilled with the salads (too many greens and difficult to mix all the ingredients together). Over all, I will definitely return to Fruitive when I'm in the area, its a great vegan spot!

Pros: Friendly Staff, Great Food, Good Location

Cons: A Bit Expensive , Odd Portion Sizes

Perfect

Would eat here every meal of every day... if only I could afford it! Delicious, fresh, and a huge selection of juices. My favorite place to eat, especially the antioxidant smoothie bowl and sweet grass juice. A vegan's paradise! We need one on every corner!

Favorite Restaurant in Hampton Roads

The place is almost too awesome to be here, but I'm really glad it is. Finally!
Everything I've had has been amazing! The service and staff are amazing. I can't say enough good things about them. I was skeptical about the whole raw thing at first, but I realized quickly that it is more filling then cooked food and super delicious too.
Stop reading this review and just go there!

Pros: Amazing Terrific Super Duper Food, Amazing Terrific Super Duper Staff, Cool & Hip place

Cons: SHould open up several more!

Absolutely amazing find!

My boyfriend and I came here when we were visiting my sister in Virginia Beach, and it was awesome! A little pricey, but the quality of food makes the prices very worth it. We had the Mediterranean wrap and the Southwest wrap and shared a dragon berry smoothie, which they split into two cups for us. Everything was fresh and totally vegan, even the cheesecake slices!! We cannot wait to get home and try our Pineapple Xpress juice!! Would definitely recommend!

Pros: delicious smoothies and wraps

Cons: A tad pricey

Exceptional food

The food is top notch. There's no question. They use the best, freshest ingredients and prepare interesting Vegan meals. The prices are a little high but I don't mind that when everything is such a high quality. I wouldn't want to see them lower the price and then look to save cost by cutting back and using less expensive materials.

My wife and I split the Southwestern wrap and Thai salad. We loved both. We then split two very rich desserts - carrot cake and a chocolate mousse cake. We had to ask twice if they were really Vegan. Both were exceptional and unique in quality. They're not something I'd want every day but they were treats. The carrot cake especially was unbelievable.

If there were anything I'd like to tell the owners, it would be that they should make the in-dining experience a
little nicer. They shouldn't serve their food in clear plastic, snap together, take out boxes. It gives a very mixed message especially when the food is more expensive. Real silverware that gets washed would be nicer than throw away plastic too. If they want to get to the next level, they need to stop thinking of themselves as a carry out sandwich shop with a few chairs and tables. They're a restaurant. I think their present impression with the plastic and low service leads people thinking their higher priced food is over-priced.

No matter what, I'd come back when in the area again.

Pros: food, quality, interesting combinations

Cons: in-dining needs some work

$$$ vs taste

I have to agree that Fruitive is completely delicious and has some awesome products to try out. My main opposition is the price they charge...for about $13 you can get a wrap which is a little much in my opinion, not to mention the juices are crazy expensive. I went in a few times to grab some ideas and after that, I started to just make my own juices and sandwiches with the same ingredients they used- pretty close to taste too. The ingredients are pretty basic so its not hard to find them with the variety of health food stores around. I find it better than going in and spending a bunch for something you really can make on your own and feel good about! They have awesome flavors in their food and drinks so I absolutely loved it! I personally just prefer to juice on my own for so much cheaper and a much larger output than what is served to you there

Pros: Taste, Healthy

Cons: Expensive

Love It

Its kinda hard to find a Vegan location so when you do, you cherish it! This location has the best Mediterranean wrap I have tasted so far and its locally own so if you can support your local business because your health will thank you later!

Pros: Everything Is Vegan, Great Tasting Food, Dont Have To Worry About GMO's

Cons: Might Be Alittle Pricey To Those On A Budget

I'm In Love With This Place

My husband and I heard about this place from our realtor. We weren't sure about it because it didn't sound like it had many options. It actually doesn't have a very big menu but the food is so good that I mostly forgot about that. They basically only have smoothies, wraps and salads. There are a few other things like the PB & No J which is bowl with peanut butter, granola, fruit and other things. It's really delicious but by the time we each ate half a wrap and the Cocao Kapow, we were to full for it.
I've gone back for another cocoa kapow. It's like a peanut butter cup smoothie. Super delicious for anyone who likes peanut butter & chocolate. I love the salad/wrap bar. Most of the ingredients are organic. You get to pick what you want in your salad/wrap and they make it for you.
My only complaint is that it's a little pricey. Not over-priced. You get what you pay for but I can't afford to go that often.

Pros: Healthy, Organic, Delicious

Cons: Pricey, Limited Menu

Loved it!

Never been near Virginia Beach before but knew that I had to try this place since it is the only 100% vegan place near VA beach! Awesome, awesome, awesome! I had the Chocolate Covered Cherry and it tasted exactly as the title describes! Also had a salad with eight toppings and an entire avocado-do delicious! The people that work there seem to actually care about their job and what they are trying to accomplish with offering raw/vegan choices and how important it is to buy local produce. This place has got me loving salads again! Thanks Fruitive!

Pros: Delicious, Nice atmosphere, Great staff

Cons: Expensive

Found a new gem

I was in VA Beach on vacation and was looking for something vegan and healthy...in my search I found this location. It is setup as a vegan wrap station and juice bar. It was a little confusing at first but there were also a lot of people in the small place. The wraps and options were great, the carrot ginger dressing was amazing. They have freshly made lemonade and teas. A definite repeat when I go back. This place was a great find and wish there were more places like this making fresh to order wraps, salads with kale and dark greens.

Pros: Options, Flavor, Great food

Cons: Location small

Yummy!

Fruitive is great! They have delicious salads that can be put into a burrito wrap or a collard wrap... or you can just eat it from a bowl. The juices and smoothies are all made fresh and the granola is amazing :) It's my favorite place to eat! Nice atmosphere too... dine in or carry out.

Pros: Great food for all meals, Comfortable, Juices, smoothies, custom salads... yum

Simply Amazing

This place is so amazing! The food is great - all vegan, the staff is awesome - super kind, and the atmosphere is very comfortable - upscale design. They have their own distinctive blends of juices, smoothies, and treats as well a mostly organic salad that they make to order. They also feature cold-pressed juices that are all organic. The cups, bowls, and tableware are all compostable and they have hardly any waste. They are certified by Virginia Green and are also a big part of the local community. This is the place to go in Virginia Beach not only because of the reasons already listed, but because this is the only vegan restaurant in town.

Pros: kind staff, great food, amazing atmosphere
