ecobean cafe — Restaurant in South Burlington

I used to frequent this business when they were smoothies only (maybe two food options at the time) on Pine Street and recall getting a tasty treat. I was excited to try their food options as I fully support what they push for feeding your body with good nutrient sources and healthy, delicious options.

The time finally came where I wanted a smoothie and felt it was time to try the food. I ordered a barbacoa bowl and a macao smoothie and got a barbacoa wrap and berry smoothie for my partner. We unfortunately were left feeling underwhelmed. We were unable to finish our food as the only thing either of us could taste was watery bland white rice. It took away from the rest of the ingredients completely. I also payed extra for tomatoes to get two sliced in half cherry tomatoes. I should have just bought some and added them on my own.

In regards to the smoothies, mine had a protein powder in it which left an unpleasant powder taste in my mouth for the rest of the night and my partner's just tasted like milk. (As previously mentioned, I had gotten these 3 years back with a different experience when they were newer and smoothie focused).

I'm hoping they were just having a rough night but there were only two other people waiting and I'd ordered ahead for a 45 minute out time.

The experience was not worth the $54 bill and I am now left with leftover food we will be utilizing to make...

OMG while traveling to different cities for work as a Flight Attendant - finding yummy vegan food can be a challenge! But thanks to Google, I can always find a great spot to try!

I found Eco Beans + Greens because it was super close to my hotel and I only had 1.5 hours until it was time to begin getting ready for my next flight. From the moment my Lyft driver dropped me off, I felt super charged to walk through their doors because that green in their logo just made me feel good - can't really explain why ...

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by an awesome woman who helped me navigate their menu - I was looking for something super filling because I didn't have dinner and at this point it's like 11am ... So I ordered their Falafel Wrap and a PB Nipp Dream Smoothie and mmmmm mmmmm I can taste it now!

The Falafel Wrap was made perfectly and didn't spill out the moment I took my first bite. It was so good - I almost bit my finger :) every ingredient in that wrap just tasted so fresh!

And for the PB Nipp Dream - it was pure heaven. I am a HUGE peanut butter fan! I was craving something sweet, yet healthy and this curved that craving.

Oh and how could I forget - their playlist was hitting! It played my girl Rihanna to Lady Gaga!

Yes, not sure when I'll be back in Burlington, but when I am -...

Great chopped salads! I ordered the paleo harvest salad, which was delicious with its bacon, kale, and beets, among other toppings. If I rated my experience on the salad alone, I’d give it 4.5 stars. The reason I can only give 3 stars here is a few things. They don’t know how to make an iced matcha latte correctly, so I don’t recommend ordering it at all. They don’t use hot water to allow the matcha powder to dissolve, and don’t let it steep long enough before adding the milk, so you get this weird watery milky drink that doesn’t taste like matcha at all. I brought the latte back to the staff with my concerns and they were very nice, offering to make me a new one, but that doesn’t solve the issue since the second one they made me had the same problem. Overall, the staff were pleasant, though the service was slow (it was busy at lunchtime and there were only 2 people working behind the counter) and someone decided to blow the leaves outside so every time the door opened, leaves would fly inside along with the strong smell of gasoline. I wanted to like this place more since the rest of their menu offering...
