    Starting my journey on healthy eating e stopped at the Walrus. The Beetlejuice theme is so cute. Seating is at the bar or you can order then take it outside. Drinks and sandwiches were very delicious. Also enjoyed the music.

    Fully veganrestaurant offering a good variety of sandwiches, smoothies, and sides. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I also had the boiled peanuts which were amazing. They were spicy, juicy, salty, and addictive! I went in the daytime so there were no ongoing events but I hear good things about the events after hours. The events are LGBTQ+ friendly.

    Nothing brings people together like good food & energy This gem was a perfect way to spend my birthday. Such a super chill but fun vibe with the neat decor - the option to play pool, old school pinball games, all while enjoying a delicious drink..this whole place is a whole vibe. I didn't get a chance to try their food but I hear it's delicious. I liked that they had options for nonalcoholic and alcoholic drinks - this worked out perfectly for my friend and I who enjoyed a spiked smoothie and myself a nonalcoholic pina colada version to get that "miami vibe" as the bartender suggested. Super stoked to come back!

    They have a cool stage for music, Wednesday comedy night, arcade games, cool lighting and music.

    Wow!! I absolutely LOVE this vegan sandwich shop!!! I got their classic turkey on ciabatta bread and omg! They toasted it and it was nice and warm with the cheese. Was super delicious!!! After not eating meat since 2012, it is so lovely to find a Vegan place to get a great tasting sandwich! Oh, and their ginger pineapple juice is so delicious! About $23 you get a sandwich and a juice and comes with kettle chips. You can't ask for more!! They have a cool stage for music, Wednesday comedy night, arcade games, cool lighting, music, great vibe, great for date night or hanging out with a friend

    Came to the Walrus for a concert. I wanted to try their vegan food but they had to close the kitchen for staffing reasons. The drinks were tasty though and the bartenders were super nice. The space reminds me of a club from the 90s.

    One of those "hole in the walls" that's always a good time. I love how it's distributed.. you walk in and there's the bar.. to the left you find yourself with the Dj, dance floor and some seating. You walk toward the back and you'll get to the bathrooms and outside patio. Seems pretty decent size. I went to support some DJ buddies of mine. I had a great time. Loved the decor and ambiance.

    This place is such a breath of fresh air. The drinks are phenomenal and the sandwiches are fresh and healthy. They also have vegan cookies that are to die for! The have draft beers and a huge selection of different unique beers and seltzer's in a separate cooler. This place is one of a kind!

    V.L.T. And Zapps voodoo chips!

    Grassroots Natural Market in Jacksonville might be the most gloriously hippie health-food store…read moreI've ever set foot in. You can smell it before you're even through the door. Not in a bad way, but in that unmistakable health-food-store aroma that tells you there are herbs, oils, supplements, organic everything, and probably someone blending wheatgrass in the back with spiritual conviction. I walked in thinking I'd grab a couple of health bars or maybe a smoothie, and suddenly I found myself in what felt like a live-action documentary about modern hippie culture. Real hippies. I'm talking long dreads, natural fabrics, calm serene smiles, and an energy that says they own a crystal collection and know each crystal by name. The vibe inside was amazing. Everyone looked like they were on their own personal wellness quest, floating around the aisles with purpose, shopping carts full of things I didn't even know existed. I felt like I needed to level up spiritually just to stand near the kombucha section. And the café area had this cozy, earthy coolness to it that almost convinced me to sit down and contemplate the meaning of life over a smoothie bowl. The whole experience was wild in the best possible way. Grassroots Natural Market wasn't just a store that day. It was a full-on immersion into the hippie heart of Jacksonville, and honestly, it was fabulous.

    Smoothies are great! Every organic product available you could ask for and even a little grocery!read more

As I was waiting I was talking to another customer who is addicted to their cheese pies. It looks delicious. They offer smoothies, super smoothies, juices, juice shots, salads & other baked goods like muffins & cheese pies. All their breads are baked fresh at their San Marco location. I tried the Bruce Lee a green smoothie with pineapple, kale, yogurt, ginger, vanilla & banana. They don't add sugar so you taste all the ingredients. The taste is awesome. A 16 oz is $6.95. They made it while I waited, not long. I stopped by after 1pm and it was not very busy. I plan to return and try their salads & cheese pies. Hope they get the support to continue offering these tasty & healthy goodies.
