I had the cauliflower bites and they were extremely burnt and hard. The enchiladas were a wet slop on top of greens with olives which completely overpowered and ruined the dish. They were the only flavor. It was gross.
They charge a mandatory 20% fee on all transactions not just dine in, and that’s on top of their already expensive prices. My pickup order was over $40 for a burnt appetizer and an olive filled flavorless wet slop. I love the concept of a SOS WFBP restaurant but the execution and menu needs improvement. Not sure how many people are willing to pay that much for bland and burnt food. I don’t use salt or oil and my food is much better and cheaper.

Started off with soup special followed by a jackfruit sandwich which came with fresh greens and potatoes. Everything was fresh. Nice eating area. All in all a great dining experience.

Green Fare is a casual spot with a focus on healthy, creative dishes. No matter what I order for my meal, I always make sure to get their muffins—they’re absolutely delicious. The portions are generous, leaving you satisfied but never weighed down. We also take advantage of their meal plan so we can enjoy their food at home. Since the menu is free of salt, oil, and sugar, the flavors may take a little adjustment if you’re used to heavier, less healthy foods, but the freshness and quality make it well worth

As a doctor with a strong interest in nutrition and public health, I came here with a big group of people and we all loved the food and the educational events organized here.
I'm traveling, but if I lived in DC, this would be my go to place!
The food was absolutely amazing and healthy! I felt really good after eating here. This place is one of the best places to eat in DC.
10/10, highly recommended!

In terms of this eatery, I think for what they are trying to achieve this is a great place, but if you have a tree nut allergy it may not be the best place for your needs.
I brought my friend here a while back who was vegetarian since they specialize in plant-based food options that’s aren’t highly processed. Like many foods in this category, they use different types of nuts as proteins. They also use a few mushrooms in other dishes so they have a few (at the time only 3 options that could accommodate this dietary restriction.)
I think the food was fine as they don’t add any salt as well for heath related reasons, but would have preferred more diverse mushrooms in some of their dishes. For example beefsteak or chicken of the woods would have fit better in their enchiladas than button or white as these already have a meater texture. If these are hard to obtain, oyster mushrooms and enoki can also be prepared in certain methods to give a meater texture when roasted. However the key is making sure to get all the water out first so the mushroom doesn’t retain as much water.
I was also mildly disappointed that all desert options had a tree nut in them. My suggestion might be a simple fruit salad since this can easily be prepared with their guidelines using lemon juice as a seasoning and fresh mint instead of processed sugars.,
Overall though, I was happy my friend had more options than not as he’s mentioned before only having two options mostly high in carbs or not so robust dishes to choose from.

Healthy food that had no added sugar, oil, nor salt. There are items in the fridge you can take to go that includes some of the main menu items. There are great variety in the items offered with assorted sugar free desserts that are quite tasty
I was in town for one day and decided to spend the morning at the Reston Farmer’s Market. I came across GreenFare’s booth and had such a wonderful interaction with the owner. I bought a banana nut chocolate muffin which was both healthy and tasty! He even gifted me a strawberry rhubarb muffin which was so sweet!
I highly recommend supporting this business

Fantastic food with enormous portions. Not a quick dining experience, which is fine given the quality. It’s so hard to find vegan food which isn’t greasy, highlights veggies, and fills you up. This is my go-to whenever in town! A delightful bonus to also find gluten free desserts made without cane sugar :)

I had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic vegan, plant-based restaurant, and I’m so glad I did! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxed, creating a perfect setting to enjoy a meal. The menu is both innovative and diverse, offering a variety of mouthwatering options that go beyond the usual plant-based fare.
The dishes are packed with fresh, wholesome ingredients, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every recipe. I had the pleasure of trying several items, and each one was bursting with flavor and creativity. It’s rare to find a place where you can truly taste the quality of the ingredients and the passion of the chefs.
Additionally, the restaurant features a curated selection of ‘Food as Medicine’ books, which is a great touch for anyone curious about the health benefits of plant-based eating. It’s clear this place is not only focused on great food but also on promoting overall well-being.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to explore or enjoy plant-based meals that are both nourishing and delicious. Can’t wait to come back!
