Strive Foods — Restaurant in Sandy Springs

I Googled "vegan breakfast near me" and this place popped up. It looked interesting so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm So glad I did. The lady who greeted me, Lauren, was amazing! She guided me through their options at the store and made the breakfast platter sound soooo appetizing! I thought it would be waaay too much food, but then I figured I could always warm it later...and Lauren walked me through which items to eat first in case I got too full to eat it all. AND she advised me how best to reheat things! She's such a gem. Everything was SOOOO good! I got the Lemon poppy pancakes and Oh! My! Gawd! 😯😋 I tried it with the optional chocolate sauce, and although it was good it was not needed as it was perfect as is. I didn't use the syrup. Then the avocado toast with mushrooms and roasted peppers with the balsamic vinegarette...yummylicious! I was full after that but cut off a piece of the French toast and it was good.

After my meal and talking with people in the restaurant I was introduced to Claudine, the owner, who shared with me the story of how she got started...great story of how an interest and filling a need evolved into something great. She's 10 years strong now! 😀 This is DEFINITELY a place to give a try AND to patronize regularly! I'm excited to tell more people and to come back!

TIP #1 They currently offer brunch Saturday and Sunday...Go try it!

TIP #2 Try the pizza and desserts! That will keep you coming back to try them all...so I'm told. 😏

TIP #3 I met a pretty lady, Allison, with the cutest silver pixie cut, who shared Claudine has built a great community here...I can tell she's a regular and seems like the type of good people you'd want in your community. I also met and connected with this 50+ year old absolute BEAUTY, Nicole. It was her 1st time visiting as well and I kind of talked her into the brunch platter too😊. She shared she has been vegan since her 30s and she gave me sooo many great nuggets! 💛

Again, I'm so happy I tried this place out and you will be too! If you've gotten this far in the review just go ahead and click the map button and head...

If you’re looking for a place in Sandy Springs that combines fresh ingredients, creative dishes, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, Strive Foods is an excellent choice. Located at 225 Hilderbrand Drive, the restaurant feels modern yet comfortable, with a clean interior that balances simplicity and warmth. From the moment you walk in, the staff greet you with a smile and are attentive without being intrusive, creating a relaxed dining experience.

The menu is impressive in both variety and execution. Strive Foods clearly puts a strong emphasis on healthy, high-quality ingredients, but they don’t compromise on flavor. Every dish I tried felt thoughtfully crafted, with balanced seasoning and beautiful presentation. Their bowls and wraps, in particular, stand out as vibrant, filling, and surprisingly affordable for the level of freshness and portion size. I especially appreciated that the menu caters to a wide range of dietary preferences—whether you’re looking for plant-based, gluten-free, or protein-packed meals, you’ll find excellent options.

One of the highlights of my visit was the smoothie selection. The blends were rich, not overly sweet, and left me feeling energized rather than weighed down. It’s rare to find a restaurant where you could enjoy a meal and a drink and walk away feeling satisfied and genuinely good about what you ate.

Parking is easy, and the location is convenient—just off Roswell Road, close to the heart of Sandy Springs. I also noticed that takeout orders were handled quickly and efficiently, which makes this spot just as good for a grab-and-go lunch as it is for sitting down with friends.

Overall, Strive Foods offers a refreshing approach to dining. It’s the kind of place you can visit regularly, knowing you’ll get consistently tasty, wholesome meals served by people who care. Highly...

Can you say WOW! I was brought by my sister who I now owe this new obsession to. From the moment I walked in I became a kid in a candy shop. There is so much magic tucked into this cozy place. The space has a few spots to sit and read one of their many awesome books, pull a positive energy card or even get some work done.

Everything is vegan and there are amazing raw options. My sister spoiled me on this visit so we had a few different dishes. We started with the already prepared dishes in the cooler quick had many options; we began the adventure with the raw Lasagna, it was made up of fresh veggies, creamy and rich in flavors like it being topped with fresh dill ) makes my mouth water all over again just writing this review). Second was a Mexican pizza that was also cold yet amazing. The"crust" was gluten free made of only plants. Topped with a variety of veggies, chorizo and chick peas oh and their in house made fresco cheese! ( they sell an 8oz container of that magical cheese all you need to do is ask for it 🤫). We also shared a plater with 3 crunchy quesadillas filled with similar introspection as the pizza but just tasted like a complete different dish and well delicious as well! I have no shame in admitting we ate it all ( well maybe a little 🫣😊) Last but not least, there is a HUGE selection of deserts! We got the Raw Blueberry cheesecake which was super creamy but light,not too sweet, just right. My sister ordered something i can't remember the name but is similar to a butterfinger ( but healthier and better) consists of 2 delicious chocolate covered peanut butter bars. This was to go though, no way could we eat more 😂. I was there 8 hours ago and already craving it so beware, once you get a taste of Strive you may...
