A true *you are what you eat* establishment - Edit
You cannot possibly leave here without your body and spirit feeling better off than when you came in. The emphasis is on smoothies and juices that are large, but they also have an array of other eats. In fact I recently tried their house made vegan hamburger and was really impressed with it, it had the sensation of biting into something as soft as a fluffy roll but still had the heartiness and flavor I was looking for. I’ve also had other eats here that have been healthy, fun, and filling. I get the sense that customers tend to be people who have a little extra expendable income, but it truly is a great spot for lunch, breakfast, a healthy snack, or a post workout nutrient boost.
Read morePros: They feature fun educational books, Nutritious and delicious , Light and hearty options
Cons: On the pricier side, Minimal seating

Kale and more kale - Edit
I love kale in every form and this was no exception. I ordered a v nice kale wrap that was nice and warm when I received it. The staff was really friendly and attentive! This is a really nice place to go to for breakfast/brunch/lunch and I really appreciated that they opened as early as 7am as most other places usually open much later.

Great smoothies - Edit
Friendly staff, clean restaurant, cool space and location in nice downtown area near upscale shopping. Offers multiple plant based smoothies, smoothie bowls, and other snacks. We had the antioxidant bowl, which was delicious with fresh ingredients. Would highly recommend.

The ideal healthy breakfast - Edit
Fruitive is the ideal spot for a healthy and nourishing breakfast. I got the Banana Nut Overnight Oats for a sweeter menu item and balanced it out with a savory Tuscan Grilled Kale Wrap. Since everything was much more filling than expected, I probably could've just gone with one of them, but I'm so glad I got to try both! The grilling on the whole wheat tortilla made for a great crunchy bite, and the ingredients in the wrap were fresh and flavorful. The Banana Nut Overnight Oats were a pleasant treat, especially with the peanut butter and cinnamon.

Fresh and tasty! - Edit
Fruitive is the perfect place to have a nice breakfast or lunch. The food is fresh and very tasty. I loved their avocado toast, perfectly prepared with lots of flavor and spice. I also tried the quesadilla which was very good but would have deserved a really melting vegan cheese to be perfect. The prices are a bit high but the food is worth the trip.

Tasty waffles - Edit
Really good waffles, not too sweet and fluffy. Avocado toast was excellent, and the overnight oats were incredibly good on a hot summer day.
Read moreThe chai latte was excessively sweet, and I had a hard time finishing the drink. Should have specified I didn't want any sweeteners added in.

Expensive and fair tasting - Edit
I would suggest revising overnight oats recipe. Add stronger tasting fruits like cherries if not going to add sweetener to recipe.

Good but expensive - Edit
Was happy to have the option, but in the neighborhood there are options that are better and cheaper. If I really wanted to lean into the healthy options it’s good it’s there, but low on my priority list

We had the quesadilla, mushroom pizza and a strawberry banana smoothie. Smoothie tastes like orange juice and the pizza mostly tasted of broccoli. I'd rather walk around the corner to hip city veg

fresh, vegan and delicious - Edit
My family is in DC for a vacation and we’re so glad we tried Fruitive! We enjoyed a clean and delicious breakfast made with the freshest ingredients. All plant based too. My son had the almond chocolate banana waffle and the berry immune liquid meal, hubby had the hail to the kale salad, and I had the avocado herb toast with a matcha latte. All dishes and drinks were excellent! Owner is super friendly and shared his story and love of vegan food with us. He then came back and gave us a slice of pizza to try on the house. Great experience. We are already planning our next meal there!
