12 reviews for The Last Carrot
The Last Carrot isn't much to look at, but from the second I walked in the door I knew that I had made it to a little slice of vegan heaven. Instead of trying to decide between Chinese take out classics like Buddha's Delight and Bean Curd & Eggplant or pizza (no cheese) plus a meager list of toppings from the local pizzeria, I had a full menu to choose from including vegan desserts! It had only been a week since I dined at an ultra vegan-friendly restaurant but it seemed like an eternity and I took my time looking over the menu. Would I try the Spicy Tofu Pita Sandwich? Maybe the Hummus Pita? Homemade Veggieburgers are always a safe choice. Or did I want to go for one of their ginormous (yes that's a word, because I say so!) salads. Maybe some hearty soup and a salad. Then there was the prospect of having a smoothie made from real fruit, not concentrated fruit juice or syrups. As I tried to make my decision I looked down to see a huge vegan cake beckoning me to come closer and a full case of vegan cookies and brownies. What's a little Vegan Guinea Pig to do with such choices put in front of her?

I think I've found my new favorite haunt, thanks to Sharie B's stellar recommendation!
As a "pescaterian," finding good edibles for lunch can be a serious challenge. There are only so many Subway veggie sandwiches I can eat - for real!
Anyway, The Last Carrot is a wonderland of options for someone like moi. From peanut butter and banana pitas to spinach melts and delicious spicy hummus. It's so incredibly rare to find a restaurant where I can eat EVERY item on the menu. Yay Last Carrot!
The pita sandwiches are delish, I had the hummus and the BF had the tuna. The homemade vinaigrette they serve with it is to die for. I want to eat only that on every salad I consume for the rest of my life!!!
Can't wait to try the variety of juices - carrot, cucumber, wheatgrass. I may even be back tomorrow, who knows! They also take lunch orders by email (if you send your order by 1130am) and they deliver.
One thing - I did get hungry pretty soon after scarfing down my hummus pita. Then again, I probably should have picked up a vegan dessert or some juice - no doubt it would have further filled me up.
There are only so many Subway/Quiznos veggie sandwiches one can eat... Take a break from it all and get a healthy pita at Last Carrot. From peanut butter and banana pitas to spinach melts, all sandwiches are delish. They have two homemade vinaigrettes they serve which are to die for. I want to eat that on every salad I consume for the rest of my life!!!
They offer a variety of fresh juices and some amazing vegan desserts (such as the strawberry cake with tofu icing) which is always a must as the sandwiches are not that filling IMO.
what makes this place good in my opinion is that is a no-frills, straight to the point kinda' joint. I've been here with vegetarians and omnivores alike and both have enjoyed the casual environment. The selections arent wild, but they get the deed done. You can taste the freshness in all their ingridients, specially when you pick anything with avocado! Their dressings are sublime, sure theres really only two options, but it makes life a lot less complicated, and if you cant decide, do what I do and ask for both, when mixed they taste even better!
What you wont get enough of are the varied selection of juices and smoothies, I always go for the weirdest combination because it always ends up being the most delicious. Some personal advice: splurge for the shot of wheat-grass, it does the sould and body good! I love having lunch here, and I will contine to come for as long as they'll have me.
I came here because I thought it would be a good vegetarian friendly place to come with some friends. I am so glad I tried it out before bringing anyone with me. I mean, yes, vegetarian food should be chock-full of vegetables, but, what makes a vegetarian place good is how creative they are with the veggies! I can chop veggies and throw them into a pita with some cheese at home no problem, so, going to a restaurant to be served this type of food is a problem for me. I want to be wow-ed and given a reason to come back. Oh, and if you are going to have a vegetarian place, please stock it with more than just spinach, bananas, papayas, carrots, cheese and peanut butter--especially if you have a menu boasting fruit smoothies, and varied vegetarian delights.
Luckily, I eat fish, so my only meal option (not by choice, this was pretty much all they had that day) was the tuna spinach melt. It was small and satiated my hunger, but, not really very filling. When you order that, that is all you get. No chips, or fruit, or salad on the side. Just a tiny sandwich. That and some sauce to dip it in, but at the end, they asked me if I used it. When I said, "no" they took it and put it back into the refrigerator--presumably for the next customer to use, which made me cringe at the thought of maybe having been given some one's old sauce.
This place just felt lazy. I won't bring my friends here. So, Im still on the look out for a good vegetarian place.
Can you say "mmmmm"? This place is veggie heaven. Everything is organic and fresh. I had a cucumber/cream cheese carrot sandwhich on pita bread. My bf had a peanut butter apple sandwhich. The smoothies have fruit with honey on them. You feel healthy and fully satisfied when you leave. One of the best places I've even gone to eat.
For payment, bring cash because that's all they take.
Not quite a fan of vegetarian fare, having said that - these guys have the right alternatives - You can get a good meal here, whether is a wrap or a sandwich with a smoothie and feel totally satisfied. Now, don't be misguided into thinking it is all that healthy- a pita wrap can pack a few hundred calories and a smoothie a few more - but hey ! we only live once !!
The bottom line is that the Last Carrot is good and original if you happen to be in the area - not exactly a destination place - but they do things right so YEAH !
A lunch at Last Carrot followed by a short walk to Yogurbella makes for a great saturday lunch experience.
Veggire burger pita is pretty good, make sure to try both dressings.
LOVED IT! so delicious, i had the spinach melt with chicken salad and it was delicious and then i added the sauces and it was amazing, and affordable. so good!
Half the menu was out of stock (there were literally no apples, avocados, no fruit except frozen bananas, no veggie burgers, on and on almost comical) Ordered items based on a short list of what they did have. Here goes: veggie and cheese pita had out of the bag shredded mozzarella and blah pita, in fairness sauce on the side was decent. Hummus was horrendous so loaded with garlic you regretted it all day and devoid of any salt, the worst ever. Tuna spinach melt was decent. Their namesake is appropriate.
The Last Carrot ,along with the now defunct Spiral restaurant, is one of the original Organic health food eateries which opened in the early seventies in Miami/coconut grove.Thank goodness this restaurant is still open ,all of the menu is excellent,all organic fruits and veggies,and excellent prices.If you are in the Grove and need a healthy lunch , go here , food as nature intended it to be eaten.Check out their menu here: http://www.lastcarrot.com.
A fan of Last Carrot is a great way to describe my following of this healthy neighborhood joint. It has become part of my regular Saturday routine, yoga @ Equinox Merrick Park and then off to Last Carrot for a fresh, organic veggie juice (carrot, beet and ginger), a tuna pita or salad and a shot of wheat grass. Their fruit smoothies are incredible as well. The falafal pita is my favorite, but you have to get there before the lunch rush to get one. Super friendly staff, a great local eatery.
