GREEN should rename itself GARLIC - Edit
I am so fed up with Green. At first, I loved eating there because they offer an all vegan, American food menu. Now, I can't stand to eat there because it is over-priced, everything, and I mean everything, contains way too much garlic. I only really ever liked 3 things on their whole menu. I try to go when they have a special, but the specials are always $10 or more, and they frequently sell out. The soft serve is good but they mix the ice cream in the same bowl and don't wash it in-between so you might get coconut in your icecream from the previous person (this happened to me twice). Also, I don't get the grunge atmosphere. Vegan restaurants no longer need to only cater to the grunge crowd. Come on! Please hold the garlic.

Cons: noisy, expensive, too much garlic

I love this place, I find excusses to drive to pheonix so I can go here! It's really good food. All the omnis I've brought here so far loved it. I wish I could figure out how to make their burgers!

Great Food - Edit
I had dinner at Green the other night and it was very good. The salads are fresh and creative; just ask for the dressing on the side. They are a little heavy handed. The best part of the meal was the Tsoynami. This is a vegan blizzard. Green offers about 15 different options. I have the mint chocolate cookie and it was fantastic. Not low calorie; but worth it.

Excellent But Crowded - Edit
My wife and I ate here several times on a recent trip to the area. The menu's all vegan, yet the food was not all sprouts, tofu, and wheat grass. We had burgers, pizza, salads, and fantastic desserts. There was a nice balance of healthy and hearty offerings. The service was friendly. It was very busy every time we went there, with a long line and a bit of a wait for the food, but it was worth it. One of the best vegetarian restaurants we've been to anywhere in the country. The "tSoynami" frozen dessert is a must.

Fantastic! - Edit
While on vacation we went to Green. I heard that this place has been open for about a year, I hope they are doing well! This is a great place. So many options, it was really hard to decide what to get! We all ordered food. We shared samosas-so yummy and vegan chili fries-yummy as well! I got the 'no-harm chicken parm sandwich'-so much flavor! My husband got the the 'mum's meatball sandwich'-which he raved about-it did look good! His sister got the 'green burger'. We didn't talk much-we were eating such great food!

Tsoynami!! - Edit
Nice cafe, much larger than it appeared from the outside. Closed Sundays, so I had to come back through- glad I did! A friend and I shared a 'meatball po boy' and a 'no harm chkn parm' both were delicious. But the best part was the tsoynami's best vegan ice cream ever!

Good "Fast Food" without the Drive-Thru Window - Edit
Update: I just wanted to add/ make a note to my July 2008 review---
Read moreTo my surprise and delight-- the service & staff has become more friendly, alive...and conscious of their customers. Due to this new attitude, I will give Green five cows--hooray! Keep it up! (Now--if only Green could move out of that ugly location...)

Review: Green is a very much hyped up Veg place however it fails to deliver the whole package.
What is good: Green satisfies my "fast-food/ junk food" craving (the vegan way). I enjoy the mock BBQ beef sandwich with thyme fries or have an appetizer of crab puffs or spinach-artichoke dip. However, high calorie/ carbohydrate items like these are not things I ate during my days as a carnivore...so I suppose I can say "Green is like my vision of a vegan McDonalds" (unfortunately there aren't more scattered around Phoenix with a drive-thru window :). With that said, I recommend calling in your order for pick-up.
What is bad: Green staff is typically aloof and far from personable. After several times of being told the lunch special was sold out, I came at 1130am one time and was told the SPECIAL was not made yet and although I said I could wait-- I was told the cooks are too busy to make the posted special of the day!
Also, please don't waste your time on any of the Asian Bowls... go to somewhere else for that.
Pros: Junk Food Fix, Improving CustomerService
Cons: Missing Oatmeal Pies, Dumpy Strip Mall Location, Limited Hours

Great Restaurant - Edit
We went after hiking and it was so good,we went back the next night! Buffalo "wings" are excellent, as was the "pepper steak" sandwich. My wife really enjoyed here noodle bowl. Excellent soft serve soy ice cream for dessert, and they will mix it with fruit, etc. The restaurant has a good vibe and seems to be a gathering place for the socially aware. Friendly service. Highly recommended!

Great Menu - Edit
While the outside of Green isn't that inviting, once you step inside it's clear Green is a good choice. With a terrific drink selection and a varied menu, Green is a good choice for the veg with a picky palette, or even the non-veg interested in trying vegan dining. If you go for the pizza, you have plenty of toppings. As with all of the other reviewers, I have to reccomend the crab puffs. They are fantastic! They staff was friendly, and Green offers some grocery items (like primal strips) that I have not been able to find at other grocery/health stores. Cool decor and interesting artwork are also a feature. Great peanut butter bars and clean restrooms.

Best Veg Food in the Phoenix Area - Edit
Green is my favorite place to eat in the Phoenix area. Everything is vegan so no worries there. It is a mellow restaurant where you walk up to order. There are many yummy selections. I have tried nearly everything on the menu and it is all fantastic. Don't miss the crab puffs, no harm chicken parm sandwich w/thyme fries, or the mongolian bowl w/ mock beef and noodles.
Read morePros: Excellent Food, Comfort Food, Vegan
Cons: Only open until 9pm

Good food, lousy service - Edit
While I have enjoyed several of the offerings at Green, I have not been back in months due to the consistently crappy service and bad attitude I have gotten from the staff. I have been there with different people, and have been treated each time as if we were bothering them. Apparently, some staff consider customers who interrupt their conversations about their boyfriends rude and demanding. I took my business up the street to Udupi cafe.
Read moreCons: Poor Service, bad attitude from staff

Good comfort food in Arizona - Edit
One of the few completely vegan eateries in Arizona, and it succeeds with a delicious menu featuring comfort food that anyone can enjoy. The mock meat is done well, and everything is flavored to perfection. You don't get that much for your money, so be prepared to order a couple of menu items to get full.

Delicious, Informal, Fun, Wide Selection - Edit
Thank you to previous posters, who helped us find this restaurant on our recent vacation in Tempe. DH is veggie and DD (age 7) does better health-wise eating vegan and I just found the menu delicious overall (DS, age 10, was less impressed, but that's par for our family's restaurant experiences.) DD had a thin-crust pizza, which we shared, delish; DH had the veggie reuben and I had a spicy noodle bowl, all wonderful. We were excited too that they had "tsoynamis" :o) that were nondairy (coconut milk) whipped ice cream treats. The skinny thyme fries were wonderful too (crispy and more-ish, DS definitely liked these ;o) ), as were the "crab" puff appetizers.
Read moreEnjoy!
Pros: wide selection, vegan, staff nice to kids
