This is a really nice restaurant and they're very clean. I've tasted just about every juice they offer and all of the wraps. The food and beverages are delicious and made to order. I was not too please with the southwest salad, but the southwest wrap is amazing. Customer service is great. I brought my daughter in for the strawberry toast and they were very careful with ingredients due to her allergy. Parking is a bit hectic, but that comes with the territory when dining in DC. read more

I walked here and was amazed how beautiful this spot was! Very nice design and inside - it's recyclable and sustainable everything! I ordered the maca bowl - it's a very nice bowl, very fresh, juicy and the ingredients work together very well! I think it's a little overpriced to be honest. read more

Mediocre overpriced food and drinks, but I suspect it will thrive because of its location and vibe.

This is how you make raw foods, healthy eating and plant based food inaccessible and keep mass adoption from happening. There is no cooking and real washing involved - simple real produce prep for good healthy eating. For $11.50 for one single slice of toast, almond butter, a few slices of bananas, cacao nibs and chocolate drizzle, i at least expected this to be accompanied by the rest of the banana, maybe some other fruits or almonds on the side and two slices of toast (not two half slices). This is what's called, arsonist-robbery-murder pricing at play. Worst, it keeps "healthy eating" selfishly within the circles of the rich. Way to go Fruitive. May your karma catch up with you. read more

My husband and I stopped over at this fast casual concept to grab a cold drink. The menu is entirely vegan and they use local sourced ingredients. Some of the items are in small refrigerators for grab and go. Others you have to order off the menu. The menu is pretty extensive. I was questioning the oatmeal in a jar I saw in one of the cases and learned that like a parfait it is meant to be eaten cold. These products do address the fact on their labels if you have nut or tree allergies. Cash is not accepted here; only cards. I decided to go with a small "Wellness warrior" smoothie made from cashew milk, acai, strawberries, blueberries, and apple juice. I was told it had antioxidants in it to help you stay healthy. After paying the $12.00 I picked it up and another counter. The vegan chocolate bars looked addictive but decided to hold off for now. As soon as I got my drink we left-please note they have outdoor seating. You are given a plastic (not compostable) straw to drink it in. I drank it as we returned back to the hotel and it was delicious but not overly filling which I didn't want to see happen so late at night. This is a great place to go if you are vegan and looking for plant based products. The items they sell have no preservatives so without refrigeration they are extremely perishable. Definitely a must return for me whenever I'm in this area again. read more

They don't accept money (cash). I know that whoever reads this prefers to pay with credit and pay apps, but let me state a few reasons why having options as a consumer can be a good thing for the consumer and / or the business: 1) I don't want to have to pay a credit card bill a month after I enjoyed a smoothie (I know I can get all the pay apps and figure out which company uses which pay app or I can use debit, but why? Why do I have to track all of that?) 2) I'd like to be able to send my children into the store with cash to buy a smoothie. The kids learn some simple math, how to budget, how to tip, and then get to keep and save the change. 3) I'd like to see the business retain a better profit margin (businesses have to pay a percentage when a consumer uses a card) 4) Using a card is not a more sanitary thing for me - people say cash is dirty. Well so is using the touch pads at businesses or having the employee run the card. 5) I don't want to be the typical consumer that spends and spends beyond their limits (which is much easier with cards then cash. . . wait a second... Now I know why businesses are going this route, ha ha!) 6) I don't want to be coerced into a 15%, 18%, even 25% tip because someone hit the button on a blender. I'd like to give a cash tip as I see fit, which now a days, I give 30% to businesses that accept cash. 7) If I'm buying for a group of people, I don't want to ask for all their credit cards or have to have them use the different pay apps to settle the bill. 8) Consumers should have options when paying premium prices on a product. When consumers have options, they spend more which equals profits for businesses. Other negatives: $48 for 3 smoothies, wow! Inflation has been taken advantage of here. On the day I visited, about 75% of their menu was out of stock or not being served. This is unfortunate because the menu looked so good. The bathroom was out of order. The berry smoothie tasted horrible! I take responsibility for this one though = it didn't occur to me to look at the ingredients and see that they add cayenne pepper to a fruit smoothie. Positive: This gets more than one star because the employee was super polite when refusing to accept cash. Plus, I'm not trying to hurt anyone's business - I just want my opinion to be heard. Summary: This is my first non 5 star review and I wasn't going to write it because I like to stay positive. I chose to write it because paying nearly 50 bucks for 3 smoothies and being so frustrated that more and more businesses are getting away with not accepting cash is annoying and worth mentioning to other consumers. read more

I came here with my friends and I got the Avocado Toast and the Peaches and Greens Smoothie. The place is in a super cute area and everything on the menu honestly looks so good. The staff were also super nice and friendly! My biggest complaint was that it's pretty pricey, as in a small smoothie is like $12. The smoothie was nothing special, but the avocado toast was pretty good! Overall, I liked the place, but for the price, it made it a lot less attractive. Side note: Don't sit outside. They have like a million mosquitos for some reason. I got 8 bites from being there for an hour... read more

Must get: Avocado Toast I really enjoyed the avocado toast and it felt like I was getting actual avocados rather than a smear like some other places do. The toast was garnished with herbs that brought the flavors all together. We also ordered the waffle and it also tasted great! Despite everything tasting great, I would warn any patrons that it is not very cheap. read more

Incredibly impressed with the flavor in the food at this whole food plant based eatery! We had originally gone to Fare Well but for some reason it was closed so this was our second choice only because of distance. (I still plan to give Fare Well a chance.) The young woman at the counter was helpful with suggestions. My sis Bella and I decided to share something savory and something sweet. We settled on the avocado herb toast and the waffles with almond butter and coconut cream. DELICIOUS! Every single bite!! And filling. In fact, we had halved the meal and Bella couldn't finish her portion. (I made her eat it because we were gonna be walking all over and she was gonna need the good energy.) I would go back to try the other dishes. Bonus: there's a survey you can take to win a $100 gift card. Crossing my fingers... read more

I came here two times during my short stay here in DC on my quest to locate vegan breakfast. Everything I ate was outstanding and full of natural flavors. I make lots of overnight oats at home for myself so I was very happy to find a restaurant with such a variety of refrigerated oats at your own service. Inside is full of mini fridges with oats, natural juices, and walls full of in-house granola/kale chips. I ordered the Berry lavender oats my first visit and the lavender was so subtle and added the perfect touch to the oats. Fruits were fresh, and presentation was 10/10. My second visit, I ordered the banana nut oats and the Early Riser breakfast wrap. Both also delicious and consistent. The wrap was so fresh! The cashew garlic cream was amazing (I would love a jar of it lol). All oats come with a small side of maple syrup to drizzle on top. The menu is vast and tons of gf options to accommodate everyone. Overall, extremely pleased with Fruitive and cannot wait to be back! read more

I like Fruitive a lot but it's pricey for the amount of food you get. Also I'm not a fan of their coffee and their stools are uncomfortable so it's not the type of place you can hang out at for very long. I like that you can order on Ritual or use Levelup for incentives, though. read more

The owner and his daughter are absolute gems and a complete reaffirmation of humanity that we all need!! I was lost and couldn't find my parking garage in the area (my phone had died, there are many in the vicinity). Amidst 17 other things they were juggling, on an oppressively hot day, they very patiently, kindly and systematically, with a laptop and phone calls, helped me track down my rental and get back to my family. (This wasn't just 2 minutes to point me in the right direction). Who says there aren't angels in our midst!!! I wish them all the success in the world. (A perfect menu for this heat too)!! read more

I go to Fruitive at least once a week. It's such a great place to get fresh, healthy, vegan food at a decent price, and in a fast-casual environment! I am absolutely obsessed with their Spicy Greens salad (see below for full details); it's super fresh and bright, the dressing is a perfect combo of spicy and citrusy, and the rice noodles, cashews, and mango add tons of textural interest! I forced myself to venture out and get their breakfast wrap on a recent visit, and it was also amazing! It was super hearty and satisfying. I can't wait to keep exploring more of their menu. Early Riser Breakfast Wrap ($12.95) - Whole wheat tortilla, quinoa, black bean & corn salsa, smoked mushrooms, spinach, caramelized onions, red pepper, tomato, bragg seasoning, cayenne, cashew cheese. Spicy Greens Salad ($12.95) - Kale, spinach, romaine edamame, carrots, cucumber, mango, red peppers, broccoli, rice noodles, spicy cashews, red pepper jalapeno sauce, sesame oil, and tamari. read more

Fruitive is the rich hipster version of your typical neighborhood health food cafe, but somehow just as inviting. The staff are always friendly and helpful. While nothing on the menu jumps out as unique - smoothies, açaí bowls, wraps and pressed juices galore - the quality is better than you'd get at most places in this category. I appreciate that they are fully plant-based and use fresh, simple ingredients. Their liquid meals are both delicious and filling - top marks for the Coffee Date and Iron Berry. I've also enjoyed the overnight oats and açaí bowls. Most recently, I tried the southwest wrap and it was so bland and forgettable that it's unlikely that I'll try any other savory food here. Stick to the basics like the blended and pressed drinks - perhaps even a waffle - and you should leave relatively happy, feeling perfectly ready to spend equally lavishly at CityCenter's stores... read more

I went to this establishment for breakfast as I was very hungry. I walk in I order it sounds amazing. I wait 15 minutes while other people have already gotten their food in front of me who ordered after me for my waffle to come mushy and disgusting. This was the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth. Do not go here. read more

The acai bowl and avocado toast were excellent - but this place is EXPENSIVE. I was craving something healthy and the food was filling and wholesome. But I ended up paying $25 for an acai bowl and 2 pieces of bread (granted, I did share the avocado toast) which is expensive. I'm not a vegan, and so for me, this has to be a once every couple of months thing. I wish the menu was a bit more affordable or that there were a few cheaper options (maybe a combo or something like that?) but I also understand that healthy food isn't cheap. Basically: definitely go here if you're vegan or have some other kind of dietary restriction. If you're a carnivore like me, still go, but be prepared to feel bad about how much money you spent after. read more

The ambiance and service were amazing but that's about it. This was the only vegan restaurant in DC I haven't been to and LEFT ME DISAPPOINTED. The waffles were hard to chew, the smoothie was surprisingly UNFLAVORED and my friend forcefully scarfed it down (strawberry banana). My favorite part of the meal was the Brazilian nut milk. I might give this spot another chance but I do not recommend these items. read more

I got half avocado toast and half almond butter with bananas because I wanted to try both- both were super yummy but the avocado toast was my favorite. For my drink I got the peaches and greens which was okay, I was hoping for more of a peachy taste.

My go to healthy spot after a late night out of splurging on food and flavor , I didn't want to downgrade on taste but felt the need to detox. Fruitive has become my go to for that. Its prepackaged smoothies were my salvation while I was studying for a board exam and had managed to give myself ulcers to not being able to physically tolerate anything else. From that to my healthy brunch rescue go to, Fruitive never fails to deliver flavor and nutrients in a beautiful healthy package. The mango continue waffles, the açaí bowls and the tumerando smoothies were everything I needed. The collard tacos manage to provide taco tastes without the tortilla waist line The kale salad is a classic delight The avocado toast is the best bang for your buck with half a toast still being size able and having a Delicious creamy cilantro spread The coffee date smoothie - defi get the larger size - it takes 8 ounces to grow on you but then ends all too soon :( A word on the seating and ambience : Bar stools, window views and quaint mirrors in city center which has been my go to location - it feels healthy just sitting there , like you can congratulate yourself for making good choices lol read more

If you are ever in the area and you are vegan or vegetarian with healthy taste buds... this is the place for you! I absolutely loved their food options and drink selections. Everything was natural, organic and/or carefully mixed. The toast with avocado was absolute one of my favorites, the seasoning on the avocado made it extra special. The bowl I had was also exquisite and all the right flavors. The place was very cute on the inside and out. You have to order at the counter and then they bring you your food. They also pick up the dishes so don't worry about looking for a garbage (I did and couldn't find it). They told me they take care of it. The people that work here have amazing energy and very pleasant. Enjoy your visit . read more

Great healthy restaurant for D.C. I came here with a friend looking to get a nutritious meal and that's exactly what I got. I got a kale salad that had many surprises and it was quite tasty even without being drowned in salad dressing. It's so good I'm going to try and make it at home. I also tried the smoothie and it was pretty good it had peanut butter and berries. Of course this restaurant is in downtown DC so make sure you walk or take an Uber or lift or of course the train. The service was great and there was no line no wait the food came out very quickly and the staff was very friendly. The restaurant is not that big so I can imagine it can get crowded quickly luckily your food will come out quickly and you can return to the DC streets. read more

Great wifi, quick healthy food, friendly staff. What more can you ask for? Prices may seem high but the quality of the food is great. I had the spicy kale salad and it was delicious. I also had the turmeric ginger tea with oat milk added. The tea was pretty good but I noticed a lot of green leaves in the tea bag, so thinking that the tea was probably blended with green tea? Not sure but the menu didn't specify anything other than ginger and turmeric so that was a little disappointing as I try to watch my caffeine intake. My only suggestion is for them to have more details on their menu, just as they are very detailed with the food descriptions. read more

I wish we had a fruitive on every block like a 7 Eleven. Everything here is fresh, delicious and the service is great; raw and vegan options. From delicious cold-pressed drinks (the best time to buy them is in the afternoon 4:30pm until close). Pros - Collard Taco Tuesdays: buy 2 Tacos and get one free. - Cold Pressed Juice - Avocado Toast - Tuscan Wraps - Smoothie drinks and Smoothie Bowls - Acai Bowl - Open late Con - Tiny seating area and not a lot of room. More a purchase and go type of place. - Expensive read more

Pretty decent healthy option when you're in the area. I usually get the Southwest Wrap. It seems like it's made sightly differently now post-pandemic -- and I just can't quite put my finger on what's changed. But all in all, it's a good option -- especially for delivery since it's not a convenient location to visit unless you're actually shopping in City Centre. read more

Favorite spot to go to for lunch! In love the southwest a quesadilla. Great environment and food!

Best damn to-go kale salad I've ever purchased...(large size) hail the kale. A little pricy, but great quality. The base of the salad is literally a huge massaged bowl of chopped kale with hints of sweetness and umami from candied nuts and generous portions of edamame (plant protein!). The dressing is basically a puree of carrots and other healthy ingredients. read more

I probably passed this place 100 times and didn't pay attention to it just because it's rather small and at the end there in Palmer Alley. Thank goodness for Instagram. I guess I was looking up acai bowls or food in general (shocking, I know) and someone posted a pic from Fruitive and I saw it was in DC, right near my office. SMH. All this time, I wanted to try an acai bowl and never got around to it. I'm very happy to report that my first, and certainly not my last, acai bowl was the maca berry bowl. Absolutely delicious with fresh berries, chia seeds, coconut, and their own tasty granola. All this deliciousness and it's good for you. I'm a fan and will try all their other bowls and offerings. I mean, have you seen the pics of their avocado toast? read more

I've had this place bookmarked for months and I love the concept of plant based diet but based on what I had I thought it was just okay. Found the menu to be slightly overwhelming and confusing so I dabbled in three areas: cold pressed juice, toast and a taco. Immunity cold pressed juice: apple (green), lemon, ginger and cayenne. I got the 8 oz and according to the menu it was $5.50 but I was charged $6.00. I also found it incredibly spicy, wish there was a disclaimer for wimps like me. I need water badly, my throat was burning. Strawberry Peanut Butter Toast: loved the flax & spelt bread, strawberries were slightly mushy for me and I think they forgot the maple syrup. The peanut butter was ample and the chia seeds added a great texture. Sesame Ginger Tacos: $4.35 plus 10% DC tax, I was thinking eek $4.79 for a meatless taco. Great sesame flavor and I didn't even miss the meat. The buckwheat noodles were hearty and the vegetables were earthy and fresh. I'm interested in coming back again but I'd rather try a panini or a wrap because I left pretty hungry still for a grand total of $16.58. read more

We stumbled upon Fruitive at a outdoor market! We tried the Pineapple express juice & Sweet Kale both were Amazing!!! I got the Pineapple Express 2 other days. My favorite part of this juice bar is they use mason jars instead of plastic bottle. They also sell glass straws and pipe cleaners at the front. They give a gracious $1 per jar brought back you cannot loose with this amazing local eatery! The Kale chips are $5 and worth ever cent. They are spicy crunchy flavorful bags of delicious!

Four very solid stars for honest, real, organic, vegan, healthful food in a lovely space with a fresh vibe and attention to detail. One star lost for my crazy hours not aligning with theirs (I wish they were open later, especially on the weekends!), the non-raw (or 75-85% raw?!) menu items (tacos and salads) and the price point making some people (not me) possibly avoid dining here (people do have budgets). After that, well, the oh-my-yes-more-please menu makes me wish for one of just about everything. The liquid meals/ smoothies are delicious. Power up! The price point is steep though- but they are all delicious (anything with raw cacao or berries is a winner!) The juices are fantastic for my veg-vampirism, but again, watch your wallet and don't go crazy if you are on a budget. I love love love the tacos- even if they have legumes/beans and cooked grains- because of their unique cornucopia of ingredients packed in to an outstandingly delicious result. I don't have a favorite, they are all good, but I think the original and Tuscan are just a touch better than the other two. This food makes people heart plant-based and not care that there is 'something missing.' I would eat here once a day if I could- or more often if I can have a liquid meal every time I stop in! The juice! The tacos! The super berry bowls are amazing for the wealth of nutritious ingredients that all go together to taste brilliantly filing and satisfying. In-house gluten free granola is cool and a festive crunch on your palate. If you are more traditional, yay for wraps, avocado toast and sandwiches. Again, my biggest gripe is probably the ability to have raw food items and a clear choice to stay more traditional with their menu. It makes business sense- the raw food community is rather odd, and maybe not often eating out... But just 1 raw taco and/or 1 raw salad would be a nod of acknowledgment to the raw community and better justify the raw/live tag on Yelp. If you go here, you will enjoy what you ordered. No doubt. If you're not sure if you'll like it, please invite me with you so I can eat whatever you don't like. Order heartily and healthily- just don't wince too much at the price- it's fair for fresh, plant-based, organic and non-GMO. read more

Summer in DC is hot hot hot, and what better way to cool off than one of Fruitive's berry bowls? I quite enjoy the Green Vitality, which is as delicious as it is beautiful, with white coconut flakes and vibrant mango on top of a dark green smoothie mix of kale, spinach and acai. The house-made granola on top is full of crunch and yummy. You definitely need a spoon as the consistency is like a slushie. The avocado toast is also a winner - that basil pesto mayo is seriously addictive! I usually get half a toast, and the two is enough to fill me up. Not something I can have regularly as the price is steep ($20 for the two noted above), but a great way to treat-yo-self on Fridays. read more
