My constituent and I had planned a concert to go to at the hard rock Hotel and Café Friday night to see our lifelong favorite band Earth, Wind & Fire at the hard rock, Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey that’s for another story, coming soon!!!
Along the way we wanted a place to eat that was completely vegan, but didn’t want to spend too much time and go to lavish so we chose a place called Greens and Grains in Northfield New Jersey .
I believe they have four other locations. This one was perfect because it was along the way from our trek from the suburbs of Philadelphia.
This is located in Tilton shopping center just off of Tilton Road in Northville, New Jersey approximately 20 minutes outside of Atlantic City.
When we first entered the place, it is very well lit and it is laid out very well. Seating is not congested and the place is very clean. It is well decorated in a sustainable way.
This is counter service that you walk up to and order your food. The menus are displayed very well on digital monitors on the wall so it’s easy to read and make choices after looking over the menu. My partner decided on getting the quinoa bowl with broccoli, kale and her protein of choice was chicken seitan, I decided on the coconut avocado BLT Panini, she order a sustainable box water to drink, and I ordered a cold pressed juice called receive. Less than five minutes our food was ready and we went to the counter to pick it up. The food is served in recyclable containers, which is nice with recycled plastic cutlery. My partner was mostly satisfied with her food. The only thing she does not do is spicy food. This food has garlic, some seasonings and red pepper flakes. This is not described on the menu, even though there is an allergen disclosure. This is something I believe that needs to be displayed as some folks may have conditions such as diverticulitis. They could have an adverse effect. Fortunately, my partner was OK. It didn’t bother her too much.
My sandwich, the coconut avocado, BLT Panini at my first glance, it looked like it was going to be a very dry sandwich. Served on a sub roll with shredded lettuce, coconut bacon, avocado, and vegan mayo, yet once I took a bite into it it was bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious. There was maple flavor in the coconut bacon that was spot on the bacon was in large crumbles and it had just the right amount of vegan mayonnaise and avocado, along with the shredded lettuce so in every bite, there was a little bit of everything. We only ate half of our meals each because we wanted to try to dessert and have a little something for later so we ordered a vegan cupcake which we shared, which was excellent along with three vegan soft chewy chocolate chip cookies that were just as good and we saved a vegan Blondie brownie for later, we both were very impressed with the cold pressed juice which was called receive, and they have many other choices of cold pressed juices. This was delicious and healthy, packed full of energy and it it was Pitaya, rose, hips, lemongrass, hibiscus, orange, and lemon zest in coconut water with a healthy dose of ginger. We shared half of this, and I saved half of it for later because I knew we were gonna be out all night having a lot of fun and it would be a little bit refreshing for the drive home .The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. Good people holding down the fort on a Friday night kudos to them for being good spirited. We will be back again.
