Green Butterfly Cafe & Juice

I’ve gone here often, it was at its prime a few years ago. Now, it is not worth it. About $20 for the smallest portion of rice and greens than it used to be. They also seemed to ha have changed their tahini, which used to be their best thing. Now it tastes like an icky tofu candle. One of my tahinis was icky thick, the other was insanely watery. Super unimpressed with their consistency and taste now.

We moved off the island to the east coast almost 12 years ago and Pure was one of my favorite places to get clean, healthy delicious food. Used to walk miles with a toddler on my back. We sold our home to RV full time and one thing I was most excited about was eating here again.

I was so bummed to see it was a new restaurant until I checked the menu and saw the same Buddha bowls on the menu. I was even more overjoyed to see it’s still owned by Stephanie!

Everything was just as I remembered-absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend trying the sorghum! Please support this local business.

I thought heck, I'll give it a try. Always happy to support a healthy local establishment. What came out wasn't even in a bowl but a rectangular box half way filled with very little kale and spinach. Also had very small portions of both beans and quinoa. All for a whopping 17$. I don't even mind paying that much but damn, at least put some love into it. I just wish I had taken a picture to post as well.

The Buddha bowl was delicious and filling. Mouth watering tahini sauce.

One of the hardest parts about the food service industry is consistency in what is served. I wish I had looked at my order today before walking away, but you forgot to add three key ingredients to the Nature bowl I ordered. No seasonal veggies and the sunflower or sesame seeds were missing. Pretty disappointing. I'll be sure to check thoroughly next time. Also, I was expecting the kale to be lemon marinated, but all of my greens were dry. Maybe the kale was left off, too? The pieces of my meal that I did receive we're delicious, but man, I wish it had everything promised/paid for.

Incredible customer service!!! The quinoa bowl was delicious, LOVE the little container of spicy sauce that came with it (quite spicy, FYI). 3 year old loved the carrot/apple juice, and the cacao smoothie was not too sweet but amazing too! Highly recommend the cookie as well.

I was so excited to be on the island for raw pizza day (the best pizza I’ve ever had), but it doesn’t seem like it’s happening anymore! The two other items on the menu are almost identical (see pic): the Buddha bowl and the Nature bowl. Delicious yes. Simple yes. I also got a green juice that was perfection. ?

This is the perfect spot for a healthy bowl or smoothie. It is pickup only, with some outdoor seating.

Vegetarian options: The place is fully vegan.

This place is OVERPRICED. I got a Buddha Bowl. Yes, everything is fresh and healthy. Yes, the sesame ginger dressing is good. But for $15, you'd think there would be some seasoning in the grains or the beans. They are so plain and flavorless. Each element in a Buddha Bowl should have some flavor. Also, the salad is not chopped or cut so it makes it difficult to eat. The beet ribbons are a tiny portion and also difficult to eat because they leave them so long. The avocado portion is tiny. I also got a smoothie and it was frozen. For $10, it would've been nice to get a freshly prepared product. I really wanted this place to become a regular spot for me but unfortunately it won't be.

Vegetarian options: It's all vegetarian.

Been visiting Vashon island and coming over to this quaint vegan eatery for some years now. Food here has always been a healthy satisfying experience, from their quinoa Buddha Bowls, to their refreshing smoothies and delicious vegan cookies pastries! A quick order from their kiosks, and with a outdoors eating area, the meal was refreshing and healthy as can be. Such a special spot on Vashon island!

Ordered a Buddha bowl and my credit card got charged, yet the lady at the register kept saying my order didn't go through. When I asked for options, she just kept repeating that the order didn't go through and she couldn't do anything. I decided to pay in cash instead, but was then was told she didn't have exact change. In the end, she couldn't provide a receipt for the cash payment, making it really difficult to contest the credit card charge.TLDR: Food was alright but please be wary using a credit card here.
