Greens and Grains has quietly built itself into one of South Jersey’s most recognizable names in plant-based dining, growing from a single storefront concept into a genuine regional chain spanning Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic, and Cape May counties. The brand’s entire mission centers on making vegan food feel accessible and craveable rather than restrictive, built around a creative menu of cold-pressed juices, smoothies, grain bowls, wraps, salads, and plant-based sandwiches that draws in vegans and omnivores alike. Every single item on the menu is completely free of meat, dairy, eggs, and animal byproducts, yet the brand has managed to build a loyal following well beyond the strictly plant-based crowd by leaning on genuinely craveable comfort food reinventions rather than austere health food.
That reach across South Jersey now spans a genuinely comprehensive footprint. In Camden County, Greens and Grains operates locations in Cherry Hill, tucked inside the Ellisburg Shopping Center at 1596 Kings Highway North, Unit 25, and in Voorhees at 1120 White Horse Road, Unit 132, both open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Gloucester County is home to the Glassboro location at 320 Rowan Boulevard, situated right in the heart of the Rowan University campus district and open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., giving college students a genuinely accessible plant-based option within walking distance of campus.
The brand’s presence stretches further toward the Jersey Shore as well, with locations in Mays Landing at 4215 Black Horse Pike, Suite 340, open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., in Ventnor at 5028 Wellington Avenue, also open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and in Northfield at 331 Tilton Road, Suite 15, which opens earliest of the group at 8 a.m. and runs until 8 p.m. daily. Cape May County rounds out the brand’s permanent footprint with a location in Cape May Court House at 5 Court House South Dennis Road, open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Beyond these year-round storefronts, Greens and Grains has also expanded into the Jersey Shore’s seasonal rhythm with pop-up outposts in beach towns like Stone Harbor, giving summer beachgoers a chance to grab a smoothie or grain bowl without leaving their vacation town.
Beyond the food itself, Greens and Grains has built its Voorhees and Cherry Hill locations into genuine neighborhood gathering spots through a running calendar of live music and community events. Frost & Fire returns for its second show tomorrow, July 13, running from 6 to 7:30 p.m., bringing an evening built around two talented musicians paired with the restaurant’s own plant-based menu, giving diners a reason to linger over dinner rather than grab a quick bite and leave. The following night, Tuesday, July 14, brings something even more festive, as the beloved local performer known simply as Michaelsongs returns for a Birthday Bash Celebration starting at 6 p.m., an event organizers are already billing as a genuinely can’t-miss evening for regulars who have caught his previous shows at the restaurant.
On the food side, Voorhees and Cherry Hill are currently featuring two standout specials worth making the trip for on their own. The Crabcake Sandwich reimagines a South Jersey classic entirely in plant-based form, built around a hearts of palm crabcake breaded in panko breadcrumbs and lightly fried, then served with chipotle remoulade, lettuce, tomato, and pickle on a vegan brioche bun, priced at $15 and available as a combo with an extra side of sauce for anyone who wants more of that chipotle kick. Alongside it, the new Super Greens Salad delivers a genuinely nutrient-dense superfood option, built around marinated kale topped with pepitas, avocado, spring onions, cucumber, cashew pesto, and a new tahini kale blend finished with sesame seeds, also priced at $15. Guests looking to keep the dish fully gluten-free can simply skip the pita, and the kitchen specifically recommends pairing the salad with its sesame ginger dressing for the best overall flavor combination.
Those two current specials sit alongside a broader menu that has built plenty of its own devoted local following over the years. Regulars consistently gravitate toward the chain’s build-your-own chopped salads and bowls, loaded with options like falafel, house-made hummus, roasted vegetables, quinoa, and dairy-free feta, giving diners genuine flexibility to customize a meal around their own preferences. The panini and wrap lineup includes standouts like the Pesto Caprese and a Buffalo “Chicken” wrap built entirely around plant-based protein, giving fans of classic comfort food flavors a fully vegan version without sacrificing taste. Rounding out the menu, the smoothie bar offers cold-pressed juices like the kale and green apple Revive, along with acai bowls topped with fresh fruit and granola, giving customers a quick, nutrient-packed option for anyone stopping in on the way to work or the beach.
For anyone looking to share the experience with friends or family, Greens and Grains also offers gift cards, giving recipients the flexibility to choose their own favorites across the full menu rather than committing to a single dish. Between its expanding county-by-county footprint, its seasonal Shore pop-ups, and its growing calendar of live music nights at its Voorhees and Cherry Hill locations, Greens and Grains has positioned itself as considerably more than just a quick vegan lunch spot. It has become a genuine community fixture across South Jersey, one grain bowl, smoothie, and live acoustic set at a time.
