Green is the only 100% vegetarian restaurant in San Antonio, Texas.
Restaurant, Coffee/Tea/Juice
"Green is more than just our name. It also stands for the way we do business. What we have done: installed an energy efficient thermal roof barrier to reduce energy consumption, reused an existing circa 1896 structure to help revitalize an area of downtown. green has also reused the majority of its restaurant equipment from refrigerators to booths/tables. green has a recycling dumpster for cardboard, a large bike rack, fair trade organic coffee, free range eggs, uses biodegradable packaging when possible, and will eventually install a cistern to capture rainwater for landscape maintenance. We have free wifi and plenty of places to plug in your power cord."

I think it is wonderful that San Antonio has an all-vegetarian restaurant (and perhaps, for that reason alone, vegetarians should support it). However, I wasn't terribly impressed with the food at Green.
My buffalo tofu wings were practically inedible (the texture was crispy and wonderful, but the sauce was a combination of extremely sour and extremely spicy - no one at my table was able to eat more than one of the wings, so we ended up throwing most of them out).
The sweet potato gnocci was good, but the tomato sauce that came with it tasted like (and had the consistency of) tomato soup.
The vegan double chocolate cake was the best part of my dinner at Green. It was moist, not overly dense, and the icing was creamy. My (non-vegan) boyfriend thought the icing tasted too much like soy margarine whipped with sugar and cocoa powder, but I liked it.

We just finished having our Sunday brunch here. We were thoroughly pleased. Such a wide variety of vegetarian/vegan food. We are vegans and I had the Carne Guisada Plate with refried beans, avocado, salsa and coconut-cilantro rice. My husband had the Beet Salad Plate and the Classic Sandwich (vegetable sandwich on Ezekial bread). All desserts are vegan and the choices were cookies, cupcakes and chocolate cake today. I had a carrot spice cupcake with cream cheese frosting and my husband had the mocha chip cupcake. Mine was great. He said he wouldn't get his cupcake again (too sweet). This is a wonderful gem here in San Antonio. We will be frequent patrons. The ambiance is casual and the staff is basically young and hip......very friendly. If you are vegetarian---this is a must for you. Prices are reasonable.
