Green Sage Cafe - Merrimon
633 Merrimon Ave, Asheville, NC
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Asheville's Merrimon neighborhood, this earthy-feeling cafe strikes a genuine balance between a quality coffee destination and a welcoming gathering spot, with genuinely delicious smoothies and an impressive commitment to dietary inclusivity (complete with a separate vegan fryer). The spacious, parking-friendly setting makes it easy to settle in for work or meet up with friends, though the service can be inconsistent and the kitchen occasionally moves at its own pace. If you're seeking a chill, health-conscious cafe with real substance in both drinks and food, this is a solid local find—just manage your timing expectations.”
