Small smoothie/juice shop - Edit
I was distracted by the specials and the conversation with the employee so forgot to order my smoothie and only thought of it as I started to write this lol
Read moreI got the soup of the day, which was veggie and it was good. Tasted healthy, not much salt or seasonings or anything. Just veggies in a slightly creamy broth.
They have desserts brought in my vegan bakeries, they had a variety of muffins, pumpkin pie, cakes, protein balls. I got a pumpkin cheesecake swirl blondie by My Vegan Sweet Tooth.
They no longer have the soft serve machine so that menu option is not available.
Also got some of their bottled lemonades, which were good- not too sweet, just how I like it.
They have a section that has jewelry, water bottles, face masks, and other wares that would make nice gifts.
Pros: Healthy
Cons: Soft serve gone

Delicious but expensive - Edit
Hubs and I went and got the Southwest Salad, Pink Pitaya Lemonade, Strawberry Crisp Toast and the Fountain of Youth smoothie. Everything was tasty but be prepared to spend quite a bit. The cafe was absolutely beautiful though and had outdoor seating.

Healthy options! - Edit
I love how many healthy options this place has, and it was right next to our hotel! We got the açaí and pitaya bowls. Pitaya with strawberries instead of pineapple. They’re pretty good, nothing special, but nice and clean!

Wonderful Breakfast Nook - Edit
All the food here is vegan. The only non-vegan option is half and half for the coffee. Had some great oatmeal and a muffin with coffee ( almond milk thank you very much!!). Nice tables to eat inside and out.
Read moreGreen Cat has two other things going for it. 1) It opens at 7Am. Breakfast yeah!! 2) they are on the beach road a walking distance from many hotels. So I just avoid a place whose vegan choices are left to interpretation and walk down the street to a fine vegan eatery!!
They also have a nice little store where they sell my favorite Peppermint Patties of all time ( shout out to Clean Conscious!!) #Veganuary

An Ice Cream Lover's Dream! - Edit
All the food we had was fresh and delicious (avocado toast with creamy pesto, jackfruit corn chowder, and CBD fudge), albeit pricey! However, if you're looking to get the most bang for your buck then look no further than the oat milk soft serve. You get 8 oz for $5 and it is AMAZING! I got the pumpkin pie/vanilla swirl (early October) and it is some of the best non-dairy ice cream I've had. They first let me try a sample cup (which was huge) and so my husband finished that off for me!
Read moreThe outdoor patio where we ate is SO cute! It looks like a greenhouse and is very spacious and peaceful. The free parking and wheelchair accessibility is a stellar 10/10. We love that the location is near the boardwalk too! It's so convenient!
We will absolutely be back! So grateful to have an organic, whole-food plant-based to go to while on vacation. Since it's tough to travel with our Vitamix we will certainly consider getting our organic morning smoothies here!

I'm in love. - Edit
I absolutely love the green cat! I don't live in Hampton Roads anymore but I try to stop by when I visit home. I love visiting on the weekend - grabbing raw vegan food and taking it to the beach, just a block away. The gingerbread smoothie around the holidays is beyond delicious. The kale salad is perfection. I love everything I've tried. Also love their little shop. I bought a bracelet from there that I wear most days.

Clean Meals - Edit
Ordered the Mother Earth which was delicious. My fiancé ordered the Sippin on Zen which was also great. We split the Green Goddess Toast which we also enjoyed but was missing the microgreens, very tiny, and definitely not worth $13 at all. Overall a nice clean breakfast.

yum! - Edit
the açaí bowl was mid, i probably wouldn’t recommend but the fact that it’s all vegan, has a nice vibe to it is amazing. and the coconut lime matcha cake and peanut quinoa salad was great! friendly workers too.

Always a favorite - Edit
We have been coming here during our annual beach vacation for years. It never disappoints and is a great chance to eat some real food after days of junk. I was bummed to see today that they seem to have taken the No Chix Salad off of their menu as that was my go to. Today I tried the Kale Caesar Salad and it hit the spot though! I also had a DELICIOUS Strawberry Crisps Toast. So Yummy!

Great Vegan Breakfast! - Edit
I got the Blue Majik smoothie and the Cherry Chia oatmeal, and both were great! I love how all the options are vegan and they have such a great variety. They were understaffed and experiencing a large customer volume, but were very kind and apologetic. Overall, a great place that I would recommend!

This place is so charming and cozy. The gift shop has cute accessories, decorations, and perfumes. The menu is fairly pricey for the serving size but the food is always great. The blue magic bowl and the pesto avo toast are my favorites.

I’m told food prices are rising due to COVID stuff (supply chain, etc.), that might be why it seemed a bit expensive, but everything was delicious!

Cons: Not a ton of quick grab and go options
