Simple Cafe & Juice Bar — Restaurant in Asheville

Thank you for all the vegan options! The person at the front was so kind to answer my questions and reassure me without making me feel like a nuisance. The menu is extremely vegan friendly - all mayo, dressing, etc. are vegan unless otherwise specified on the menu... meaning you essentially have to request animal product. They have a few meat/egg items clearly labeled, but TONS of options with seitan and other meat substitutes. The gyro was SUPER yummy, perfectly textured and flavored seitan, smooth and creamy vegan tzatziki. Also, who gives you that much spinach in a side salad? It's usually just random mixed greens at other spots, because it's cheap. This places gives you a solid side salad, with a spicy garlic herb dressing! Seriously, thank you. I haven't "come out" to my family as vegan yet, and was worried about what I would find in such a small town (visiting from Denver, CO). This was THE PERFECT spot.

P.S. All the non-vegans were also VERY pleased with their food - turkey sandwich, breakfast sandwiches, juice, power balls - and I doubt they even noticed all the vegan things like I did. Just another normal, but absolutely delicious café with...

The food here is incredible, not just the breakfast food but also the lunch menu. All of it. They do both vegan and non vegan food, but this is hands down my favorite spot for vegan eats in a city with a lot of REALLY great options. Literally everything I've tried is amazing. The vegan crunchwrap supreme was always my favorite, and then they added a vegan lunch burrito to the menu that is now tied for my favorite. So oftentimes when i get lunch takeout, i have to get both, and ALSO have to get either something else i'm in the mood for or something new to try. For breakfast I'm a huge fan of the vegan lox bagel (they use Joeys bagels...yum) and any of the juices. But honestly it's all amazing. Oh and the hot sauce...I'm no connoisseur of hot sauces but theirs is my favorite ever because it's both sneakily very hot and actually really really tasty at the same time. They should bottle that up and sell it...

I live local and bike past this place all the time, so was excited to try it today when I was starving at school pickup (because I skipped lunch and my daughter asked for an afterschool treat, I figured we could try something new!)

The food was ok, I got the banh mi. The seitan was so wet, the bread got soggy immediately, and it seemed to be missing the mushroom walnut pate and the spicy mayo. I've heard breakfasts here are amazing so maybe I'll try that next time.

The worst part was my daughters smoothie - it was virtually flavorless. For a $10 smoothie, I expected a bit more. I was really surprised since I know this cafe is known for their juices and smoothies.

I am vegetarian and eat really healthy, so I was excited and hopeful to have a spot down the road where I could pop in for breakfast and lunch while working from home, but this spot fell...
