(Columbia, SC) – The City of Columbia held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand opening of More Vegan Café located at 4622 North Main St., Columbia, SC 29203. City of Columbia District 1 Councilwoman Tina N. Herbert and staff from the City’s Office of Business Opportunities were present to welcome More Vegan Café to our growing community in the North Main corridor.
“One of the things that we crave for in this community and on North Main St. is the ability to get to places quickly,” said District 1 Councilwoman Tina N. Herbert. “I am excited for this day to celebrate the grand opening of More Vegan Café and the significant benefits they bring to the area.”
Robert Green, owner of More Vegan Café, opened the restaurant in March 2024 with the vision to provide diverse plant-based options to the City of Columbia and North Main area. Green, originally from New York City, has been in the restaurant business for over a decade and was excited to open up this café concept in Columbia.
“One of the reasons we opened up More Vegan Café was to give people more healthy options,” said Green. “We pride ourselves on teaching people health and feeding people health. We are trying to improve the community and make it a better place to visit, play and socialize with each other.”
More Vegan Café’s menu includes plant-based dishes infused with Italian, Caribbean, American, and Asian influences that cater to a wide range of tastes, ensuring there is something for everyone. In addition to plant-based options, the menu also consists of raw dishes that are uncooked or heated to preserve enzymes and nutrients. The food is prepared through blending, juicing, dehydrating, and marinating. These foods consist of salads, raw pizza and wraps.
More Vegan Café is open from 12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, and 12:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Wednesday – Saturday. The restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday. For more information, please visit their website at www.MoreVeganCafe.com or stop by in-person at 4622 North Main St., Columbia, SC 29203.
