Love fresh earth food store best ever. Honest food
I was treated to breakfast as part of my birthday celebrations before flying back home. All I can say is that I wish we had a Fresh Earth cafe in Kzn. Being vegetarian, its always hard to find veg options. The food was absolutely divine! Full of flavour and far from boring. The staff was friendly. Definitely will be back the next time I'm in Jhb. Thanks Fresh Earth team
We in love with this place! Best bread! And lots more !
I ordered products online, they came quickly and I loved the free samples! So convenient to order online. Will definitely do it again, Beats traffic to greenside!
The food is really amazing! I'm impressed every time. <3 Thank you!
So good that you are open on Sundays now! �
Fantastic and efficient service from the online store, so impressed - thank you!
Most excellent Cappachino!
Deliciously Tasty and Creamy. Yummy!
Its currently Greek Holy week and was lookout for a vegan breakfast and came to Fresh Earth as they known for great vegan food on the way to work .I had a avo sandwich which was really tasty with olive oil,herbs and tomato with pumpkin seeds .They also have a store inside .
Always amazing!! Been visiting Fresh Earth for years, love the cacao smoothie and I’ve yet to find a chocolate cake that is as great as the paleo chocolate cake
I don't even have to say much. It was my first time ordering a cake from the store and I'll do it again for sure. This Paleo chocolate cake was divine, super moist ❤ and the best thing about it none of our guests realized it was a paleo diet cake . Just one thing, I would love to see more paleo cake/dessert options on the menu. Thank you so much
Lovely place with delicious food.
Great selection for vegans and vegetarians.
Service was friendly and efficient.
Will definitely be back to try out more :)
Trump is president of the USA, the bees are dying, I've got a kidney stone, the oceans are rising, Facebook is spying on us and Mamma Mia 2 can't possibly be better than Mamma Mia 1. Fresh Earth is the only pure thing left.
I absolutely love this shop. They have a very wide range of products ranging from cleaning products to fresh produce. They also have a great little restaurant.
Matthew B really cares. And it shows. The food is always great and you can see care was given from its idea creation all the way to being placed in front of you.
It’s also great to be able to brows the store while you wait.
Chips are excellent. Coffee great!
Situated in the heart of strip this vegetarian cafe and food store has a wide variety of items that are mostly locally sourced. I popped in here for a quick bite with my family for a birthday and we were seated by the friendly staff. I am glad that the staff here know and understand the menu well as it is quite different from the norm.
Everyone enjoyed their lunch which was prepared quickly and with no issues. The veg burger was extremely filling and tasty. There is a wide variety of healthy and natural drinks to give you energy and quench your thirst. I will most certain be back in the near future to try more items on the menu in the near future.
Delicious Food and Service. A friend said we should check it out and I’m glad we did. I had the Mexican omelet and it was so full of flavor! My friend also enjoyed her vege burger which can sometimes be bland at other places. I’d definitely go back there. And our waiter was also very attentive and kind.
Vegetarian Heaven! Can go do the buffet+weighing option or order of the extensive vegetarian menu. Their smoothies are decent value for money. We had the halloumi wraps , buffet and several fresh smoothies and juices. Food is slightly on the expensive side , but fresh with generous servings.
Awesome spot, its nice to be able to treat yourself with some coffe and cake or a meal while getting groceries. They have an amazing selection of cakes and breads for you to take away. If you are into gluten free etc .... I have found thier premixes to be the best !
I usually grab their products at Dischem, but decided to finally visit the store. They are well stocked and even have Honest chocolate. The freshly baked goods look great. I tried the gluten-free cheesecake...rich and delicious. My friends tried an assortment from the buffet and were impressed. Definitely hearty and you don't miss the gluten or meat.
Fresh Earth has a really full menu with plenty to choose from. There's a daily buffet which looked really appealing. The buffet was a steal: someone at my table had a nice-looking plate for ~R35. There's also a shop with quite a lot of health and veg products to take home. I had the "Halloumi and peppadew" burger, which was good, although does command more peppadews if it's named after them. Disappointed that my almond butter smoothie was served warm :/
I felt that the meals were tasty and really good value for money. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for good vegetarian/ vegan meals.
A little on the expensive side but the food is so yummy. The vibe is calming and the staff are friendly. Lovely place for vegans and vegetarians. It even has a little grocery store stocked with vegetarian and vegan goodies
I love Fresh Earth both for shopping for food and for eating food. I always find it hard to choose a meal as they have so many amazing and delicious options. Not to mention the wide variety of drinks with sugar free milkshakes which are divine. This time round I went for the Halloumi salad and my husband for one of their Hummus bowls. So fresh and flavourful!
I, personally, am not a fan of vegetarian/ vegan food. However something about how fresh earth makes their food is very special. Whenever I grow tired of meat or wish to feel as though I'm detoxing, I never fail to stop by here for a meal. They also have a large variety of veg goodies within the store for purchase :).
Fantastic 😁 the owners are really friendly and the food is incredible! Almond and soy milk for the win 😁 highly recommend this restaurant (and food store) to vegans living in and visiting joburg
What a delicious wholesome meal! I love how genuine and pure this companies products are. Enjoy the buffet which changes daily or order from the menu. Do not forget to grab a healthy treat on the way out (the chocolate brownie is my favorite)! Lovely relaxed vibe with amazing food.
Healthy tip: anything you eat here is such wholesome and nutritious food so just indulge!
Even if you are not into vegetarian this restaurant is a 'must try'
Best vegetarian burgers with sweet potato chips and the Mexican omelette for breakfast is my favourite.
Service is always good and friendly
Great restaurant. This is a haven for vegetarians. A must-try is the buffet, which always has fresh, tasty food and the most unique salads. The flavours really compliment each other in all the meals and you don't miss meat at all. The smoothies and fruit juices are delicious and the cakes are fantastic. You can eat as much as you want without feeling like you're overdoing it or pigging out.
What a wonderful treasure this is. Just reading the menu makes you feel cleansed.
They have such wonderfully healthy food. This place is a vegans dream.
This place will definitely be seeing my face again when my body needs some more cleansing veggie goodness.
Bonus: they sometimes do cooking courses and the shop is full of wonderful goods to better your life.

Quiet restaurant in an unassuming area with lovely food and very friendly staff. The menu is extensive considering the fact that everything is vegetarian. Absolutely love the fact that breakfast is available all day. Very nice coffee and a mouth watering selection of desserts. The paleo chocolate cake was to die for. Would have been nice to have some meat options on the menu.
In my eyes this place is heaven for vegans!! 😍😍
I'm not 100% vegan, I still cheat and have eggs and fish and I think Fresh Earth is one of the reasons I'm not missing nor cheating with meat... 🙌🙌
Always a pleasure being here, I'm told the staff gets coached, so even after experiencing some hiccups with etiquette and customer skills from one of their waiters, I still can't faulter the place for anything really...
One of my happy places 🤗🤗
Fantastic, fresh, healthy food catering for every diet preference. Complete peace of mind when it comes ingredients. Theres also a lunch buffet that you dish up and weigh for eat-in or take away. Delicious.
This restaurant can accommodate anyone with any allergies/health food preferences. Their delicious daily vegetarian lunch buffet is usually what brings me here. Plates are weighed and priced accordingly. They also have freshly pressed juices, smoothies, 'healthy' desserts (gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, etc.) and a shop containing any health ingredients you may have been searching for, recipe books, and more. Unfortunately it's over priced, compared to other health food stores, and the service is terrible (because they're under-staffed I think). The manager is lovely though. Because places like these are still scarce, I know I'll be back.
It's not often that I struggle between items on a menu. I love that they have such wide variety of vegetarian meals without the prices being over the top. This little health shop is always lively and will definitely convince you to try all their little baked goods.
Haven't eaten here as yet but they stock all my favorite health items. I visit weekly to stock up on my coconut milk, flour and sugar. They also have a wide variety of healthy snacks and caralicious ice cream!
If you are looking for a extremely healthy lunch this is the place for you. The concept of the shop is based as an organic deli with the options to purchase fresh produce as well as the many spices. Great sandwiches and great variation in terms of gluten free items
i love it. i visited today and i will always go back. best part was the manager had no space but took down our names and got a place for us. the staff were the most professional ever. i visited a few other food establishments in the area and in comparison, Fresh Earth is really the best. keep up the excellent service. i will definitely suggest Fresh Earth to my friends and family.
What a lovely vegetarian restaurant and grocery store. Went recently for breakfast and tried the breakfast burrito and the Mexican omelette. Both were outstanding. The breakfast burrito can be had with a Banting wrap, which was really good. Looking at the specials for the day and lunch items - I definitely want to return. The menu is varied and some great combinations you wouldn't have thought of!
The vegan buffet on weekends is our new favourite thing. Fabulous breakfasts. They also do spectacular (and very reasonably priced) cakes to order if you enquire.
I arrived at lunchtime on a Sat and the place was packed! I had to wait in a queue of 6 people but it only took about 15 mins to get a table (I amused myself browsing the awesome shop!). Despite how busy the restaurant was, the service was fantastic and the food was quick. My burger and chips were HUGE and absolutely delicious. Amazing flavours! With vegan food like this, there is never a need for me to crave meat!
Love this place. Parking is just a nightmare as parking in the streets always leaves me a bit unsettled. The food is awesome, coffee tasty and staff friendly. Lots of gluten free option, but mostly carb options with very few lchf.
I love love Fresh Earth!!! Meals are so flavourful with interesting food combinations. Not only vegetarians will leave feeling satisfied and smiling. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. The store is awesome although you'll find most of their wares cheaper elsewhere.
For a resturant that doesn't serve any meat, this place is outstanding. Fresh ingredients and delicious meals plus a great variety. P.s. The falafel burger is amazing.
Fresh Earth is a bit of a local haunt for me, a great place around the corner where I always know I can pick up great vegetarian food and health products. Their new layout allows for much-needed extra seating, and gives the place a clean, Scandi feel to it. If you go there for lunch / coffee, I highly recommend the veggie burger, or their tofu salad. Try the coconut fudge bar at your peril, as it is completely addictive! My only gripe about the menu are the breakfasts. The breakfast menu is heavy on the eggs, and (while everything was cooked really well), it would be nice to see a few more savoury options that don't have egg in them!
With it's open, spacious layout, Fresh Earth has such a great atmosphere. Being a vegetarian restaurant, the food is really healthy and more than delicious! The menu consists of all gluten-free and banting meals with a huge sugar-free selection too! All the flavor with none of the guilt. Absolutely superb! Don't take meat lovers here...no meats whatsoever to be found, but you might be pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the veggie/vegan dishes. The pizza was yum (gluten free), my hubby's meat-free burger (with sweet potato fries)was really tasty and my father's veggie bunny chow also good. Yeah, I'll be back for sure! Ps the dessert selection is out of this world... Sugar-,gluten- and wheat-free thus mostly guilt-free :) Oh and great organic coffee!!!
Went for lunch for the first time.
Ordered from the extensive menu.
Could not fault any dishes.can't wait to go back.
My only complaint is that they are closed on Sunday's
I am over the moon that I found fresh earth! Im ao excited by the fresh and healthy food revolution and fresh earth makes it so much easier to eat amazing heathly food. I probably spent an hour walking through the deli discovering new and wonderful health products. Try a freshly baked chocolate brownie! You won't regret it!!!
I went to fresh earth, a vegetarian restaurant, with my family for a breakfast and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the service. The meals were well portioned and extremely tasty, and worth their price.
I definitely plan on making this a regular restaurant.
If you're a vegetarian then this is a great place!!! I didn't realise until I'd settled in that there was no bacon on the menu (blaaaaa) but decided to stick it out anyway. It's very decently priced for breakfasts (and probably for lunches too) and an added bonus is the store and bakery attached to it.
I have never been to Fresh Earth before and have only heard good things about it. However, my first experience here was a tad ambiguous. Although we waited too long for the food, an unusual occurrence I'm told, the matter was resolved so professionally and cleanly. This is why this is definitely not a bad review. Something can always go wrong and the way the Manager and Staff dealt with the mix up makes me excited to head back asap!
Thought the Mexican omelette was a delicious burst of flavor. Found this place a hidden gem tucked away. Just a bit nerve racking that we warned that there are dodgy guys that drive past and steal your stuff and drive away. Nice to warn us though. For a health shop with alternate options it was amazing and a great find!
I'm a regular here and although I'm not vegetarian I love their food and buffet. Their milkshakes are excellent and their brownies and cheesecake rate among the best in Jozi. Good healthy food and organic.
Awesome place! Yes, they do serve refined sugars and cow's milk etc., but for people who are not strictly all natural, this restaurant and shop is perfect to indulge yourself with vegetarian and vegan food. The chef is very engaging, and you can also make special requests. I would recommend the buffet, which offers a wide variety of food, and the cacao and avo smoothies - very good! I felt very comfortable here, I knew most of the ingredients and what to expect, even though I am not vegetarian/vegan. Probably my best experience at Fresh Earth was a cooking class one evening. We were about 6 people, taught by the chef how to make a 4 course vegetarian/vegan/gluten free meal if you want to impress guests, and at the end we all enjoyed the food and a bottle of wine. Worth every cent. I still believe that their haloumi salad is a chicken breast salad. You will not miss the meat here!
This is more of an overall cafe than a healthy/vegan restaurant. That said there are plenty healthy options, and really great vegan options but note that there is meat and the 'healthy' gluten free desserts have ingredients such as sugar and butter so be careful and make sure to read the ingredients before you eat! Service was very friendly, atmosphere is relaxed and earthy, food is overall average - I found my smoothie too thick and my Tempe wrap had barely any Tempe. The shop is great, but a tad overpriced compared to other health stores with the same items.
Not exclusively a health cafe and many of the products contain sugar, butter and other nasties. This should be classified as a cafe with healthy options. Really need to examine each item's ingredients if looking for healthy and clean items. Being said, the food was awesome and will definitely be returning. The supermarket was fantastic and offers some great and hard to find organic products. Ambience was overall good.
Fresh earth has great variety for those on any no meat lifestyle. From vegan to paleo and banting, the list goes on. You can take away or sit down and get anything from breakfasts and smoothies to desserts! If you need a few groceries or things for the house you can get them too while you wait for you food or pop in for your grocery shopping. Always great vibes and great service.

To be fair, I am not a vegetarian but I love trying new places including places that are vegetarian only. So I ordered the Moroccan wrap which tasted ok but I was missing the brown rice and the lack of dates affected the taste. I don't know, perhaps some more exciting veg would've been nice but all in all an ok meal
Awesome little shop. Stocks a wide variety of health foods and supplements. The restaurant section is also brilliant. What is a Saturday without picking up some chocolate brownies from Fresh Earth. Highly recommended
Awesome vegetarian food. Gorgeous freshly pressed juices and yummy gluten and sugar free treats. I had the apple, lime and ginger juice, which was delicious and very fresh. For lunch I had the falafel burger. Excellent, juicy and very tasty. They also serve a healthy portion of chips! All food can be replaced with gluten free options. Then there is the coconut and cocoa bar, sugar free and gluten free. aaamazing! I Recommend this place for a healthy, delicious vegetarian meal.
There was a time when Fresh Earth was the only vegan or vegetarian restaurant nearby, however with the arrival of The Greenside cafe, conscious108 and elemental café, diners now have a wider range of options. This was not evident in our visit as the restaurant was at full capacity and the store was similarly busy!
The service was a bit slow but the manager explained that they were training new kitchen staff, therefore they weren't as quick with the orders as they would be otherwise. We were offered complimentary drinks to ease the wait. The wait in fact was not really long but we appreciated the slick operation of the restaurant. The food when it arrived was wholesome fare and the juice fresh and tasty. I had a soy chai and this was also well made.
While it is no longer the only game in town, it still has a strong offering and I will certainly be back. The store is a must for vegan/ nutritious living customers - it is somewhat pricy though - be prepared :-)
Always always a pleasure coming here. Had the halloumi wrap with french fries. The food was wholesome, fresh and full of flavor. Finished the meal with a delicious cappuccino. This place never disappoints.
Best lunch spot in Joburg.
While emptying my brain on pages of imagination I felt a hunger creep over me. This was a hunger I couldn't do something about at home so I had to leave the house. The options where diverse and I found Fresh Earth. The coffee was black and the breakfast hearty. Worth your bucks to fill your brain.

What a lovely place if you have difficult food limitations. I cannot eat any wheat - so eating out can be quite tricky. Here at Fresh Earth, I had so many options - it was great! I ended up going with a gluten free pizza. It was really good! The base was soft and not super crispy add at some other places. The service was friendly and we had a lovely lunch! There's also the shop, so you can buy some gluten free or vegan foods in your way out!

This is truly a hidden gem of a café. One of my absolute favourites for breakfast, lunch or a tea time treat! It caters for ALL dietary needs which makes it an ideal meeting spot for a large group of people with varying dietary requirements (vegan, gluten free, vegetarian etc etc). The oatmeal with the almond crumble is a real comfort food and the mexican omelette is to die for.
The coffee is sublime and the fresh pressed juices and smoothies are always fresh and packed with yummy nutrients.
If you want something a bit decadent- try the brownie (not the healthy one which isn't quite as scrumptious sadly). It comes with freshly whipped cream and is absolutely gorgeous.
Tasty and reasonable harvest table in this somewhat hidden, wholesome eatery and shop well worth the visit, not only for vegans and those with gluten intolerances but for anyone looking for a healthy meal. Friendly staff and efficient service.
I adore Fresh Earth!!!! What a treat for a vegetarian! I have been here a few times and have always left feeling super satisfied and happy. I had a delicious iced coffee today that was very well priced. I also had an amazing haloumi and peppadew burger - wow and what a delicious and wholesome meal it was! Our waitress Thuba was so delightful and super well informed. So impressed and will definitely be back very soon. Also make sure to pop into the store and to try the buffet.
Lovely restaurant with a delightful range of vegetarian options.. Their baked goodies are quite yum and they stock coconut ice cream :) A real gem for those looking for a fresh, healthy alternative.
Fantastic little place - a healthy eater's heaven! Solely vegan, freshest ingredients, mostly gluten-free and absolutely wonderful! Harvest table is always flowing with beautiful, healthy and amazingly tasty dishes. Love it here.

Fresh Earth, oh Fresh Earth.
Where do I even begin with my love affair with you?
I was introduced to this restaurant slash health shop slash heaven on a street corner by my mom. I had never before heard or seen of it as it is tucked away in the suburb of Emmarentia, parallel to Barry Hertzog. If you're feeling the need for a bit of a detox inspired grocery-shopping spree or a guiltless yet fulfilling breakie/lunch, this is the place for you.
My FAVE - the harvest table which is brought out at 11am daily. The buffet ranges from home made bean, veggie and leafy salads, hearty stews, quiches and lasagnes. Your plate is weighed once you've dished up and is added to your bill. Thee most affordable food, might I add. Shouldn't expect to pay more than R50 for a full, balanced plate.
On the numerous occasions I have come here to eat, I have not once been disappointed. The waiters and waitresses are sweet and charming. The owner/manager is always lingering around to greet or assist you. There is a pastry and cake selection on offer to curb your late-afternoon, post-work cravings.
The fully stocked health shop offers everything from chemical free body products to frozen veggie meals to meat-free pet products. There is also fresh wheat grass on sale!
The inside section is cosy, warmed up by wall heaters, and you'll often find numerous customers on their laptops, catching up on work, making use of the free wifi.
I recommend to anyone and everyone!
Vegetarian / Vegan / Wish-I-was-a-vegetarian-but-can't-stop-eating-bacon heaven. They have a fantastic creative menu, good music and relaxed atmosphere. If you can get over the hippies at the table next to you that think discipline is a sure way to ensure their child becomes a souless accountant you'll love the experience.
We had the lentil bobotie with a coconut custard for lunch today and it was yummy. Great wholesome food with a medley of flavours. Good service, great vibe, and reasonable prices. I'll definitely be back.

I'm just gonna start by saying that I am not a vegetarian, I am probably the polar opposite of one. That being said I really enjoyed my visit to Fresh Earth.
We had breakfast here and it was really difficult to choose something off their menu as everything looked delicious. I eventually decided to try their Breakfast Basket accompanied by a Cappuccino. The food didn't take long at all and I found our waitress was very polite and handled my 'carnivorous jokes' very well.
My meal was really great, the eggs were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning and the chick pea stew was very tasty. Their Rye bread was also really good and the coffee was very flavorsome.
After breakfast we had a walk through their delightful little shop next to the restaurant and really enjoyed having a look at their selection of baked goods and organic produce.
Overall I really enjoyed my visit to Fresh Earth. The atmosphere is great and the food was very impressive. If you're ever in the area and looking for something different you should definitely pop past and experience it for yourself.
This place is actually wonderful. I came here for a quick stop to eat lunch and enjoyed their lovely, healthy buffet. You choose what food you would like and get it weighed. The prices are absolutely affordable.
I then could not resist their fresh desserts and tried out their heavanly brownies, TO DIE FOR.
An added extra to this restaurant is the fact that there is an entire store where you can buy any gluten free/organic/vegetarian/vegan products you can think of. At a much cheaper rate than Dischem. This place is a DEFINITE MUST TRY.

Fresh Food Earth store really makes me feel like a better person, theres just something about the organic produce and healthy alternatives to the mainstream that make you feel like you are conscious about what you put into your body and what you put out to the environment. Their vegetarian buffet has got to be the most delicious i have ever encountered. It offers a variety of dishes that change everyday. The salads are extremely filling, pair your meal with a Fresh juice with ginger and you might as well enlighten your soul while your at it.
The service is quick and friendly, but I will admit I do consider this a bit of a splurge and only go as a treat. But its well worth it!
Go here to get every organic or natural product your heart desires. The restaurant is also good. Had the veggie burger and it was awesome. Fresh juices are great. Good frienfly staff.
Great place to eat vegan food, awesome layout of food and great vegan menu. Breakfast menu is great with a wide variety of gluten free and Banting dishes. Must go place!!! Vegan is great
I'm definitely not a vegetarian or a hipster but this place is makes even this sworn carnivore consider the meat free way of life. Not quite, but almost. Best organic coffee and seriously the most amazing cheesecake I have ever had.
Delicious wholesome meals, interesting and diverse menu. Busy Saturday service quite slow, but well worth a visit to the cafe and adjacent food store
Sometimes, eating healthy is a pain. More often, being vegan is. Not if you go to Fresh Earth though. The dishes a la carte are consistently good and the buffet is always fresh and tasty. My favourites are the Asian Steamed Greens and the Cacao Bliss smoothie. I would also definitely recommend browsing the health shop isles for interesting (although kind of expensive) snacks like kale chips and mushroom biltong! Fresh Earth really provides a beautiful eating experience.
Best french toast combination I've ever tried. Service needs to improve dramatically.

Calling all vegetarians, vegans, gluten and wheat free peeps. This is one of the best places i have had a lunch meal at.
Now, this is a cosy corner little 'cafe'/ shop/ deli in the heart of Emmerentia. Yes, it is truly a vegetarian’s dream place to come at, as everything on the menu is vegetarian. The variety is amazing, with starter breads, pizza, sandwiches, salads and burgers on the menu. What i liked most was the variety of wraps, which was enticing when i saw the menu for the first time.
Being a public holiday, i decided to go for late lunch, after 13:30pm and found that the place was already full or was clearing out after the early lunch service.
So i waited for about 5 minutes, perusing the health shop and all the vegetarian/ vegan friendly items they have for sale. The bakery/ kitchen is small looking, but the staff pay a lot of attention to detail when preparing individual ordered dishes and serving items from the bakery section.
After scanning the menu, i ordered something which looked mouth-watering which was placed on another patrons table.
The "might burger" with side chips is an awesome treat if you eating first time at Fresh Earth. It truly looked good, and after 30minutes savouring each bite of the meal (without being easily distracted or attending to my smartphone in-between) i concluded and concede that this could arguably be the best veg burger in Jozi.
Now why i say that, that fresh organic veg patty made with combination of veg foods including black beans was amazing. Complimented by the mushrooms and that gorgeous light sauce on the patty, with a well cut slice of tomato did the trick. I ordered mines on normal whole-wheat roll (available also in gluten free). The chips were string cut well fried and complimented the burger.
In addition there is a nice drink selection from fresh liquidised veg juices, homemade ginger beer to smoothies. All looked good, and i thought ill order the fresh juice when i have breakfast here the next time.
The lemonade homemade is really fresh. One gets that immediate taste of the lemon in an ice cold drink, which looked like a white slush puppie. lol. It was good, though did not compliment my burger choice as i should have gone with a juice or another drink.
All in all, the service was excellent, my waiter promptly arriving at good intervals to ask how the food was, to "is everything fine" to finally asking if i wanted the dessert menu. After my meal, i was full, and next time I’ll give the desserts a go with one of their nice teas or coffees which are unique to Fresh Earth.
The seats are a bit uncomfortable, so if you have back problems or used to that soft cushioning feel when seated for about 30 - 6omin, i recommend you sit inside.
Good experience. I’d recommend this place to anyone who wants fresh tasty food, well prepared and presented, for breakfast and lunch. Definitely will be going back :-)
Being a vegetarian, Fresh Earth is like a dream come true for me. Their menu is (like the name says) fresh, appetizing and exciting... And once your order arrives you rest assured that it tastes as good as it looks. The restaurant also has a bakery and small supermarket (which is every eco-freak's heaven) as well as workshops/classes every now and then. The atmosphere is lovely, especially on a Saturday, and the service is exeptional. It might not be the conservative meat lover's cup of tea, but certainly something worth giving a try.
As a vegetarian restaurant you can't get better! Chilled vibe, friendly staff and tasty food.
Most amazing food, always fresh, well prepared and tasty! Love this place!!'
This restaurant is a Mecca for every vegetarian or vegan in Joburg. The vegetarian menu ranges from delicious vegan breakfast options (restaurant breakfasts are usually a nightmare for vegans) to hearty lunches. On Saturdays, the restaurant also offers a vegetarian buffet of salads and hot meals such as stews and curries. The burger menu is highly recommended (they make wonderful French fries) as is the delicious and warming vegan shepards pie. Unlike many "health" restaurants, prices are not exorbitant. The restaurant is, rather annoyingly, not open on Sundays, which means the Saturday buffet can be a bit crowded and you might have to wait for a table. Browse the health shop while you wait.

Fresh Earth is Johannesburg's most popular vegetarian-friendly restaurant. Located around the corner and on a quieter street next to Emmarentia's small restaurant strip, Fresh Earth offers both a restaurant and deli as well as a grocery store where you can find nearly anything "good for you."
It's rare to find a restaurant that caters to raw diets as well as vegan and vegetarian options, but Fresh Earth manages to maintain that balance while always striving for good taste. I love their organic carrot juice, too!
Fresh Earth is also child-friendly, in that many people bring their kids, the atmosphere is informal (even crunchy), and you can give your kids any of the foods without worrying that they'll be indulging in too many treats or artificial ingredients. Everything is homemade and created with care & attention.
The buffet is a winner, as is the deli. People will often pick up freshly-made snacks from here and bring them to a picnic or party, and those snacks always disappear first.
Come for breakfast and try the Mexican Omelette, or consider the Roast Butternut Salad or the Thai Wrap for lunch. Be sure to cruise through the shop half as well.
