Café Verde is hands down one of my top two favorite restaurants in New Smyrna Beach. Every visit feels fresh and flavorful, but I always order the Veggie Gyro--it's that good. Their ceviche is also consistently fresh and delicious. They recently remodeled, adding a much larger covered veranda surrounded by lush plants, creating a beautiful, relaxing outdoor space. Inside, the clean, air-conditioned dining room offers a comfortable spot to enjoy your meal no matter the weather. While they shine with creative vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes, Café Verde also offers tasty options for meat eaters, making it a great spot for everyone. Plus, their happy hour runs 7 days a week, making it an ideal place to unwind with great food and drinks. If you're looking for a vibrant, welcoming spot with something delicious for every palate, Café Verde is a must-visit! Highly recommend! read more

Salad Brussel Sprouts were good. Street corn was delicious. Had a bowl with pulled pork. Guacamole Pico de Gallo. Black Beans. With what they claim is "Red Rice" Bowl was good. BUT It isn't actually Red Rice . There's such a thing called red Rice. Don't false advertise white rice and add coloring to it or add saffron . And the very dim lights make it hard to see the food and the menu. I've had better black beans . The Sweet Plantains. They're not sweet if you char them black. They're supposed to be cooked or sautéed in oil or butter sprinkle some sugar on them to create a Glaze. Pulled pork was dry Unacceptable. I usually give it 5 stars but this time it was a dissapointment. read more

Love that the food is cleaner and doesn't seem to have all those bad additives. Service is swell. Lamb bowl is great. Pretty ambience.

We had lunch at Café Verde today getting there about 12:30 PM. The restaurant has been renovated and it's very nice with inside and outside seating. The acoustics are so bad we could not have a conversation sitting across the table from each other. I was very disappointed in that the food was excellent, but the designers and engineers made a big mistake. The restaurant was not even full and we could not hear each other talk. read more

Bruh... I stumbled upon this place while in New Smyrna beach and I'm so glad that I did! It's outside seating is so cute and comfortable. I was seated right away at a high table, and taken care of instantly! Out prided were placed and served all within 20 minutes or less! I ordered this chicken breast that was nestled so eloquently on top of a bed of yuca mash and topped with this flavorful mojo sauce that seemed to have some mustard seeds in it! Sliced cucumbers & tomatoes as well on top! I had them remove my tomatoes because my tummy doesn't agree with them. I can't wait to return! It's a 45 minute drive for me but it's really worth it! read more

Wow! What a unique restaurant in New Smyrna! Tucked behind another restaurant, Cafe Verde has a lot to offer on their menu. Their tacos were delicious, the chips & dips were great, and drink menu good. The nighttime atmosphere is very intimate, neat, and great for date nights. HIGHLY recommend this for a night out! read more

One of my friends gave us a gift card to try Cafe Verde in New Smyrna Beach! It was recently remodeled! He loves this place and knew my husband and I love to try new places.. we are big fans now! The menu has variety that appeals the all of f us! You can't go wrong with any only the choices. We started out with the chips and salsa sampler and got some of their drinks! I got the Pasta Verdure which was filled with veggies! My husband liked my food and kept stealing some bites! He got Yuca fries and Mahi tacos! Everything we ate was outstanding! We had great service and our server checked on us often! So many choices that we have no choice but to come back! Loved it here! read more

The food tasted good, and the lamb was better than most lamb I've had out. I wish the guacamole and salsa had more flavor, and the chips could have been fresher. The serving size felt a bit small, but I typically have a big appetite. The server was super nice and really helpful, and the food came out quickly. I also liked the outside seating -- when we came, it was a very chill environment. The location was great too, right by the beach. read more

My favorite spot on Flagler avenue! Cafe verde is great for groups with mixed dietary needs. They have tasty vegan options and basic options. I love to get the tofu bowl. It's tastes like chipotle but way better quality. The yucca fries and hummus are great dishes to share. The cocktails are so fresh and delicious! They recently did some remodeling and it looks so good! The new aesthetic is cozy and great for a date night. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Great for larger groups as well. The outdoor area is dog friendly which is awesome. There is parking behind the restaurant. Highly recommend this spot over any other restaurant on Flagler avenue. read more

We've been here before and loved it but this time is was just so-so. High prices with food that was close to bland. The menu sounds incredible but the meals just didn't match the descriptions. The house sangria is good, the staff is friendly and the patio has nice seating. read more

We had a pleasant meal at this place, which is tucked back behind a more popular Mexican restaurant on Flagler Avenue. We saw a small sign for it down the side street right behind Flagler, where our B&B was. Anyway, it has a very eclectic menu. A couple of us had different tacos, there was a seafood pasta dish which my wife loved and some sort of seared tuna dish, which all got eaten pretty quickly too. We ordered a mahi ceviche, which was delicious. Ceviche and a chips and salt platter. All came with rather thick very tasty corn chips, a little more substantive than the usual thin things you get at Mexican joints. They had a good selection of alcoholic drink drinks. But our table, we had some beer, some sangria, some mixture drinks, and all were great. Service was pretty good although they messed up one order, but they were very sweet to remove the cost of one of the apps to make up for that. We ate inside because it was less crowded than the outside area and we were with two toddlers who I hope were not too loud and boisterous to ruin the meals of nearby diners. I thought this place was very decent with reasonable prices considering it's right on the main Avenue. The menu has enough variety that anybody should be able to find something. We've been coming to this area for many years now, and this was a new treat for us read more

We came here for the first time for dinner due to all the high ratings. I would give it a 3.5 if that was possible. Start off with the good. Loved the ambience , love the interesting menu the cocktails we had were creative and delicious! We started with the chips and salsa sampler. It was good, but I felt that the salsas and guacamole, really lacked flavor. Good portion though, and the chips were delicious. My husband had the Bibimbop and felt that the chicken was really dry and overcooked. I had the lemon tamarin mahi. I enjoyed the freshness of my dish however I do feel that it lacked flavor and taste. It was very boring and bland. We got a glimpse of some of the other entrées. The Carne Asada dish looked really good as did the tacos. So even though we didn't love our entrées, we would like to come back and try something different. read more

One of my favorite quaint spots -- I highly recommend it. It's truly a hidden gem. I moved to the area four years ago, and it quickly became my go-to place. I'll stop by casually for lunch on my bike route or dress it up a bit for a casual-fancy dinner. It's popular with the locals, and the food is consistently delicious every time. The staff is professional, attentive, and always delivers excellent customer service. read more

Fantastic outdoor afternoon dining. The tuna entree was amazing - flavorful, expertly prepared and a bit spicy. Take a look a look at the pic, it even looks delicious! The Brussels sprouts appetizer was also very good and would have been better if my wife would have eaten less of it ;). The service was great, she was knowledgeable and smiling. read more

I'm the type of person that will usually give a restaurant a second try if my 1st experience wasn't very good . The second time eating at cafe verde was worse than the 1st .I ordered two chicken asado and one order of Brussel sprouts. my bill was 61.00 . my chicken was cold ,dried out, needed a chainsaw to cut it. The chicken was a very small piece . The Brussel sprouts were tasteless and dried out what a disappointment !!!! Don't waste your money . read more

Food was the best I've ever had in New Smyrna Beach, the service was great, and the ambiance was great. This is now my favorite restaurant I will definitely be coming back. You must try it you won't be disappointed. I don't often leave reviews but just had to with this place. read more

While in NSB we went here for lunch. They recently remodeled, and did a good job. We sat outside. They have a cute shaded patio with plenty of seating. We shared the yucca fries, and I ordered the blackened mahi tacos as my entree. The tacos were tasty. They had a nice slice of mahi with cabbage and aioli. The yucca fries were also good and came with a mojo dipping sauce. They have a pretty big menu including tacos, gyros, bowls, etc. There's plenty to choose from. Our waitress was friendly, and our food came out pretty quickly. Overall, a great experience, and I'd definitely go back next time I'm in town. read more

Visiting friends in this area and needed a place that catered to our various food preferences. Cafe Verde had many options including vegetarian/vegan, with an array of international cuisines. I started with the red sangria which was delicious! Sometimes I find house made sangrias to be too sweet-like soda-mostly because sprite or tonic water is added-but not here. While it was slightly sweet, this did not overpower the taste of the wine and fresh juice. I would recommend it. I got the veggie gyro and it was delicious. The lettuce, tomatoes, avocado were fresh , and lightly tossed in a dressing. Then topped with tzatziki. It was a good size so I didn't order a side to go with it. Big mistake-Next time I will try something smaller so I can try a side. The restaurant is located on a cute little center street with cute shops and restaurants. Service was quick-our server was attentive and friendly. read more

First the place is way to cute! Clean bathrooms and eating area. The service was great for lunch. They were busy but what can you expect for a place that offers so much vegan and vegetarian options and not labels a vegan veggie place! They have meat options as well so it's a great overall spot for anyone. read more

I would rate a 3.5 but I can't do half stars on Yelp 4.0 outdoor atmosphere I enjoyed my time at Cafe Verde. My partner and I sat on the outdoor area for our meal. We ordered the traditional Ceviche for our apporter. It was good. There was a generous amount of Mahi pieces on the ceviche. I wish the portion was bigger for two people. The other obstacle was there were no small plates for us to scoop our ceviche. Trying to share it was a bit tricky but we got through it! For an entree I ordered the pork gyro. The sandwich tasted fresh but was lacking flavor. My partner ordered the Bibimbap. The portion was generous. The ingredients tasted fresh but lacked flavor like seasoning. Overall, we will go back again and you should try our Cafe Verde if you are in New Smyrna. read more

Love the atmosphere of this place, even before they renovated. We always sit outside. Love the yucca fries always. Kid friendly!

The atmosphere was calm and quiet which was very nice. Our server was quick with our food and drinks. The food was delicious, the salad was so fresh - a great refreshing option for a hot day. read more

Quick pick me up after the beach. Lots of vegetarian/vegan options. Happy hour too! (Covid-19 Note: There are seatings available inside and outside. I didn't notice a masks are required sign. All staff were wearing masks.) What did I get I was there for the happy hour and so I got the rice bowl with plantains and yuca fries. I wasn't too impressed with the yuca fries and the sauce that it came with. It was missing some flavor and I didn't like the sauce. I ended up dipping the yuca fries in the guac that came with the rice bowl. I like the servings size of the rice bowl, small enough that you won't get too full and can actually finish it. I like spicy and they only had hot sauce or fresh jalapeños. Overall it was decent. Environment Very close to the beach. There is a lot of parking right in front of the restaurant. There is a small amount of indoor seating and there is also outdoor seating. Niceness of the staff The staff that took my order was relatively nice. I sat outside and she made sure she was available when I needed her. I didn't like that I wasn't told that the jalapeños were going to be an extra charge... It would be great if it was mentioned to the customers prior to bringing it out. Dollar The happy hour menu was quite reasonable. The mini bowl was $7 (compared to there other bowl, that was around $10) The yuca fries were half off at $2 which had pretty decent amount. I was surprised that I was charged $0.50 for the side of jalapeños (be warned). Yes? For the happy hour, yes. read more

We had a celebrate dinner here on our last night in New Smyrna Beach. Very cute cozy place. They offer outside seating and a few tables indoors. I tried the orachetta Alfredo with chicken. My husband had angelhair pasta with seafood, brother in law had curry chicken, sister in law had pork gyros. We started with a fancy drink and ended with flan and cake for dessert. We had a very nice time. read more

The food, service and ambiance are great! I've never had a bad meal at Cafe Verde! I'm a local & eat there often.

I came here with my mother for brunch this past Sunday and had another wonderful meal! This restaurant is set back from the main road, or in other words, behind Clancy's. It has a cool South American vibe and decor inside. In addition to inside seating, there is also an outside patio. On the day we came, there was a wonderful musician playing some tunes. As usual, the place was clean and tidy. The staff was quick to greet us and bring us to a table. In addition, they were very attentive to making sure we had our food and drinks in a timely manner. Overall, they did a wonderful job! The best part, hands down, is the food. My mother ordered the shrimp and avocado ceviche salad. It was AMAZZINNGG! It was covered in fresh, crisp shrimp and was the perfect balance between ingredients and dressing. Definitely the perfect meal for a hot day or if you are in the mood for a wonderful salad. I ordered the sweet and spicy hash that was on the brunch menu. All ingredients were cooked excellently and it had good flavor. However, I wasn't anticipating it to be as spicy as it was, but that didn't take away from our experience. Definitely check out this awesome restaurant on Flagler! read more
