First, in Northfield on New Road, also in Pomona at The Exchange on Jimmy Leeds Road and most recently on the Blackhorse Pike in Egg Harbor Township. Now the regional company has announced yet a new location. Greens & Grains will open August 8th in the Ventnor Plaza. The menu is 100% plant-based with lots of greens along with a delicious menu board of signature smoothies. I personal champion the B.L.T. What? They will slide me a piece of tasty crispy bacon on my lettuce and tomato sandwich? Well, yes, in a way. The bacon concoction is actually toasted coconut (shavings). Can I tell you, it's the best bacon tasting offering on green planet earth! It tastes like the real thing but healthier. Vegan meatball hoagies are my second go-to. Healthy eating that is mouth-watering satisfying and delicious.
