Vegan takeout near National Mall

Very convenient to Gallery Place and Metro Center metro stops, just walk a couple blocks and pick up some great vegan takeout and then walk a few more blocks down to picnic on the National Mall!

Pros: Great variety, Delicious food

Cons: Expensive, Limited indoor seating

Chili and smoothie devoid of taste

We ordered the early riser wrap, which was very good. But the rest of the food, particularly the chili (which was soup and not actually chili consistency) and the warrior smoothie were tasteless. The avocado toast was also over salted. For the price point, it should have been much better.

Cons: Expensive , Very tasteless flavors

The food is amazing! Avocado toast for the win! Also the bowls are awesome, too.

Everything we had was amazing. I want to go back for the pizza but the avocado toast was so delicious with the earthy flavor of the basil pesto on it. The PB & no J bowl was very good as well.

Pros: Quality food, Vegan pizza!, Best avocado toast

Cons: Very limited seating, Best for takeout

Nice food, like that it’s organic too!

Overall I enjoyed the food I had from here. I ordered takeout via Uber eats which made it super expensive though. $50 for a smoothie bowl and a sandwich. The food was delicious though and I like that it’s all organic.

Clean Eating

Was thrilled to discover that a full vegan establishment was near my hotel. Because of this, I stopped in for breakfast. I ordered the avocado toast and early riser breakfast burrito. The avocado toast was great - loved the pesto in it. They also do not short you on avocado. The burrito tasted wonderful but was a little to spicy for me. Yes, I know, completely subjective. Lol. Nevertheless I will likely return while I’m out here in DC.

Plant based fast/convenience food

Chain of restaurants with plant based convenience food. Well thought out concept and good food served in eco-conscious containers. Will definitely visit this and other restaurants in the chain in the future. Wish they had one in Baltimore.

Pros: All plant-based vegan, assortment of options from healthy to less so, Reasonable pricing for vegan eco friendly

Cons: More expensive than similar, non vegan options

Delicious fresh quick vegan food

Pros: Fresh, Quick

Healthy vegan food

I worked here for a few months and I was not disappointed by the variety of smoothies and toast that they had. Fortunately, I got most of it for free because I worked there. Had I had to buy it, I probably would have gone broke. It's very geared towards yuppie yoga moms in central DC in the middle of a weekday, so understandably pricey, but still - healthy food doesn't need to break the bank.

Fruitive first experience

My daughter and I stopped by Fruitive because Happy Cow showed us that it was the closest vegan restaurant to us coming from the Apple store in DC. It’s a small quaint restaurant that I was very curious to try since they Lavell themselves as DC’s only “Certified Organic Restaurant “. I was a little shocked at how expensive EVERYTHING was. Almost everything was $10 and well over and this isn’t a full fledged restaurant. I’m fasting during daylight hours for Kwanzaa but I wanted my daughter to get something to eat. I got the Berry Immune smoothie (coconut milk, O.J., strawberries, pineapple, lemon & ginger) which was $12 JUST for the 16oz 😳. My daughter opted for the Cheese quesadilla. Unfortunately for her she didn’t realize it was a cashew cheese, which she’s allergic to🤦🏽‍♂️. It looked good though but we had to return it. Now I’m not sure if the prices were so high because it’s a so-called organic restaurant or because it’s in a high rent part of DC. Mind you, the quesadilla was on the childrens menu and was one of the cheapest food items $8. I am curious to stop back by but maybe in another location to see if the prices are the same

Pros: Smoothie was great

Cons: EXPENSIVE

Good food, needs bigger portions

Food is prepared greatly and the menu looks amazing. My toast was a little charred though and for the money I expected my portion to be slightly bigger! I didn't leave with a full stomach

Worth every pennu

First, the people who work here were extremely kind to me, especially considering how indecisive I was and how many questions I asked...Second, the food was fantastic! I got an avocado toast and soup, and ordered a salad to go for later. I think it was a great value considering its organic

Great place for breakfast

Had the banana and almond butter toast and maca super berry bowl. The bowl was good but the Acai base was a little watery. The toast though was delicious- you could order a half serve too which was great.

Pros: Good range of breakfast options, Toast selection is great , Vegan whipped cream - yay!

Cons: Acai vase was a bit watery
