Tasty - Edit
Ordered one of their bowls a month or two back and it was amazing. The real star was the millionaire shortbread, though. I don’t know if that was a seasonal thing or not.

Great food, great staff - Edit
Pulp Sprout is a cute lil healthy food place with the usual smoothies, açaí bowls, soups etc but they also have some sandwiches on the menu. They have gf bread options and all their food is super fresh & tasty. They have awesome raw desserts! The people that work there are kind and helpful.

Fantastic Breakfast - Edit
Really cool and tasty restaurant. I ordered the almond butter toast topped with granola and the matcha mylk. The toast was spectacular, topped with fresh fruit and chopped mint, the matcha was really really good as well.

Good food but service needs improvement - Edit
I went here on a Monday afternoon at about 1:30. I had to go around the block a couple of times to find a parking spot. Once inside, I was surprised to find that the menu boards on the wall did not have prices for anything. If you want to know how much something costs here you have to ask the cashier and she looks it up on the cash register (for every item). Wouldn't it be easier to just write the price on the menu board so people don't have to ask you the price of 10 different things that they might be interested in? The girl who rang on my order wasn't very friendly. The sandwich I got was made with mashed chickpea salad (cost: $11.24 with tax). I'm glad the sandwich was good but the rest of the experience was below average.

Always incredible - Edit
I have been going to Pulp and Sprout (formally Elements) for years. My favorite menu items are the magnum smoothie, maca bowl, and mushroom bahn mi. Although I have loved everything I’ve gotten. It’s a great vegan treasure in Asheville.

Amazing - Edit
Oh his place is amazing. The food is prepared in front of you and with local ingredients. I had the wanderlust sandwich and went back for it on the same trip. It’s all vegan and they have yummy deserts.

Great sandwich and cookie - Edit
Very clean place with indoor and outdoor seating. The place looks amazing, the staff was amazing and the food was amazing. Had an ALT sandwich that was very delicious, followed by a chocolate chip cookie. I will be back to try one of the several smoothies. Might go with the grown-up PB&J.

Super cute place! - Edit
All vegan and 100% organic. Staff was friendly, great juices if you’re into juices. Wish they’d expand the food menu a little to accommodate those who aren’t into juices much. However, you can trust that they have a very good avo toast!

Tasty - Edit
The ALT sandwich on gluten free bread is seasoned so well, so tasty. Salad was somewhat simple. A full meal w drink/dessert here starts to get pretty pricey considering the portion size although the salad was fairly large. I could eat more than one ALT easily but wouldn’t be practical price wise. Service is great, friendly and knowledgeable. They will make an effort to help you choose a meal and explain what is available.

Nice and Heathy - Edit
We enjoyed our meal here. It was fresh, vegan, organic and tastey.
Read moreI don't think we were charged for GF bread which was nice.
$12 ATL w GF bread: good flavor balance, nice texture with the bread, would get again
$10 Mean Green Sandwich: good, but not a lot of flavor.
$7.95 Chocolate Bliss Smoothie: Really nice smoothie, rich and creamy and healthy. We like that it was sweetened with dates.
They were short staffed, so we had to wait 20 min for our to go order. They gave us a complimentary chocolate bite.
Chocolate bite: quite good. It was very rich and chocolatey and a little bitter.
Restrooms: one restroom, non gendered, nice size, clean, no baby changing station.
Overall we really liked this restaurant. The smoothies were a really good price. The sandwiches we felt were a bit overpriced for just the plain type of sandwich. We were happy to leave feeling good with healthy food. We would like to see more options.
Pros: All vegan and organic , Good price on smoothies
Cons: Sandwiches were a bit expensive

This is a place I could visit daily and drop some serious cash. Everything is so delicious. I love the Mangum smoothie bowl and the maca pb cup bowl. Their smoothie bowls are packed full of goodies. The granola alone deserves 5 stars. It's incredible.

Fresh and light! - Edit
Highly recommended for fresh juices, snacks and a light meal! Elements is a clean, spacious cafe with cold-pressed juices, smoothie bowls, and a simple but delicious food menu. We tried the A.L.T. sandwich (avocado/lettuce/tomato), soup of the day (sweet potato dahl), and avocado toast. They were so fresh and delicious.

Clean food, 100% vegan - Edit
I do enjoy what I have ordered from Elements. But I would love it if they would expand their menu a bit. It's really limited. They also stopped offering their spring rolls, which were my favorite :( Otherwise, the place is clean, but lacking in warmth... it's kind of minimalist in design which I can appreciate... I just don't really feel like I want to spend a lot of time there--it's cold and somewhat loud. There are lots of raw options which is great since I think it's the only place in town that offers such but the portions are tiny (esp for the cost). The smoothies are pretty good, tho a bit heavy on the nut butters. Their juices are very good.
Read morePros: raw vegan restaurant food--hard to find elsewhere!, beautiful presentations, nutrients abound!
Cons: pricey, small portions, limited menu (for solid food)
