Greens & Grains Cafe — Restaurant in Harrisonburg

SO GLAD I STOPPED. Long road trip and fast food taking its toll, I thought the place sounded healthy. It’s SO DELICIOUS too! Called from the parking lot and ordered a simple Caesar salad wrap, oat milk latte, their strawberry lemonade and the pick two half n half of their tomato basil soup and grilled cheese. When I went to pick up the order, they said they were out of the tomato soup so they gave me the last ~2oz of it just to dip my grilled cheese in, and a bonus half cup of this spicy creamy chicken soup that I think was their jalapeño popper or creamy chicken tortilla? Not sure but it was spicy and delicious! Coming from Texas, anything spicy this far north is always suspect, but it was actually hot and amazing! Loaded with veggies and chicken cooked perfectly. Loved how creamy it was too. The tomato basil soup was also amazing!! I’m so grateful!

Now let’s talk about this strawberry lemonade. Y’all NEED to get some. I wish I had bought a gallon to take with me. It’s so fresh and flavorful; perfect balance of sweet and tart. They seriously need to work out a grocery store partnership. I want the recipe or a regular supply!!

My only criticism is covid precautions. Since I’m traveling and immune compromised I was nervous being in there with so many people and no masks on staff or patrons... but they were at least blasting the AC, and I was able to get in and out quickly. I know people think it’s political now but like I said, I’m coming from Texas where it’s still really bad, and I was free to risk everyone else’s health if I so chose. I think attracting folks off the interstate with that sign is a risk factor they could take more responsibility for. Mine weren’t the only Texas plates in the lot but I was the only customer...

THIS PLACE IS EXCELLENT: Soups worth writing home about. So many delicious wraps, salads, bowls, and sandos, for everyone from vegans to meat eaters to gluten-free folks. Management that truly cares about quality and customers. Good prices.

On our trip down to Harrisonburg for a fall college tour, we were looking for a place that accommodate our family: myself, my vegan daughter, and her vegetarian mother. We looked up some options and decided on Greens & Grains Cafe. What a great choice. There were so many options for all of us - I had the chipotle pollo salad, my daughter had a vegan wrap, her mom opted for a make-your-own salad. And we each got a soup - all of which were AMAZING. The food was nourishing and tasty, the vibe was chill, and the owner accommodated all of our specific asks with a smile (Harrisonburg is billed as The Friendly City, and he really showed us why). Our tour and our day were a lot better because of our meal here. Whatever diet you're on, however you eat...this place is gold. Simple, and...

Excellent!! Gluten free, dairy free and vegan options abound! We stopped here on twice- way up and back - when traveling. So nice to have a quick healthy option instead of greasy fast food! Salad was fresh and great variety. I made my own salad both times and chose my toppings. Be sure to note 5 toppings included in small and 10 toppings in large and some toppings like meat, avocado and microgreens are extra. The young lady serving me was so sweet but must have been new because she was confused about all this until her supervisor stepped in. Unfortunately she also overcharged me but when I pointed it out to supervisor he refunded us one of our entrees to make it right. Great customer service! My hubby had the turkey club sandwich twice and preferred the potato bread to multigrain. Their soups are gluten free! Also option for gluten free bread and even gluten free cookies and pumpkin roll. Didn't taste any of these but nice there was that option. Nice seating in restaurant but limited. Bathrooms were clean...
