Cafe Verde

We checked out Café Verde after a local realtor raved about it, and I’m glad we did. It’s tucked behind a Mexican restaurant on Flagler Beach, with plenty of parking if you come in through the back. Even though it was a rainy day, the covered outdoor seating was comfortable and inviting. The whole place has a modern yet cozy vibe, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. I went with the tuna poke bowl while my wife had the quinoa salad with shrimp, and we added a side of yuca fries. Everything was incredibly fresh, plated beautifully, and tasted just as good as it looked. The menu is really diverse, so whether you’re craving something light or something hearty, you’ll definitely find it here. The service was quick, the mocktails were excellent, and overall the whole experience was top-notch. We’re already talking about what we’ll try on our next visit. This spot is an easy five stars from us.

Great little spot in New Smyrna Beach! I loved the menu selection - honestly I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to order.. I was going between Thai Curry, Tina poke bowl, Bibimpap and Quinoa salad - I decided it will have to be a quinoa salad and I will have to come back several times to try everything else. I was pleasantly surprised to see such a great fusion of different ethnic cuisines. My salad was great! My husband ordered tuna poke bowl, that was very flavorful - the presentation was beautiful! We got a side of yucca fries garnished with butter garlic sauce; it was perfectly crisp and delicious. We will be back soon!

Excellent Dishes. Always Fresh and Tasty And Very Consistent. The service is OK. Waitresses could make a lot more $$$ if only more attentive to customers. Could use a few more fans, it gets Hot out there. Best food on the Ave i think by far!

We are local to NSB and routinely visit Cafe Verde. We love going here because their food is delicious, but also because they accommodate for many dietary restrictions. For these reasons, we decided to use their restaurant as our wedding dinner reception venue on Halloween. Chef June and her team were amazing in organizing and accommodating this event. The newly renovated restaurant is beautiful, with a tropical and down to earth vibe. Their food options can satisfy the carnivores, herbivores, and even those with gluten and dairy sensitivities. We are gluten free and plant based, which can be difficult to do for many, but they always knock it out of the park. Our wedding guests also had nothing but glowing reviews. Mary, the bartender, was flawless in her execution of complex, specialty requests. Lilly and Maureen, the servers, made dinner a thoughtless process for us and kept up with the demands of the large party. Chef Rudy personally oversaw kitchen execution for the event, delivering beautifully crafted meals. They helped design a table arrangement for family seating, instead of segregated seating, which was important to us and put out our décor in a tasteful arrangement. Overall, our dinner wedding reception was flawless. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Thank you Cafe Verde for making our special day!! <3

It’s rare to dine in a restaurant that gets this many things right. Food was fresh and delicious, cocktails were excellent. Service and record were superb, AND the owners weee present and we had a nice chat. Location is quiet and out of the way and I really liked it. As a restaurant owners myself I notice the details. Great experience!

My visiting son is vegan (plant-based diet), and Cafe Verde really surprised him. We all loved it! Sat outside on a hot day, but you would have never noticed sitting on the patio. Service was great. Good beer selection. And, you must try the grilled tuna (best I've ever had). Enjoy, you won't be disappointed

An unassuming, casual eatery with a fresh and healthy approach to familiar dishes. The decor is simple and the ambiance relaxed. The food and service were both very good. I recommend giving Cafe Verde a try!

Yesterday, we had the best lunch at Cafe Verde. Having recently switched to a vegetarian diet, we were looking for a place that offered delicious food within our dietary restrictions. Let me just say, we are ashamed we hadn’t come here sooner. We dined outside under a shaded gazebo and even enjoyed a brief rainstorm. Our server was very nice and attentive. We ordered our drinks and food, and were astonished at how large the portions were. I opted for the Mediterranean Salad, and my husband ordered the Tofu 'Poke' Salad with a side of rice to make it a bowl. Let me tell you, we were both thrilled with the presentation, and the food was incredibly fresh and delicious! There were lots of beautiful plants surrounding the property which I absolutely loved! We will definitely return for another meal. We highly recommend this place for a date, or a casual lunch or dinner.
