history

Greens was the brainchild of Greg and Eddy—entrepreneurs who believed a whole-foods, vegan restaurant was exactly what was missing in our industrial town.
Brynn arrived a few years later, expecting nothing more than a summer stop-over job. She had one non-negotiable: she refused to work anywhere that served chicken wings. What was meant to be temporary turned into a lifelong passion when, just one year in, she purchased Greens—simply the right place at the right time. More than a decade later, that passion continues to shape everything we do.
Thriving in the heart of downtown Sarnia, Greens is a place for friendly conversation, really good wine, and thoughtful food. Housed in a former bank, the building still carries the architectural echoes of its past, grounding the restaurant in history while looking forward.
At its core, Greens is a community hub built around family. Many of our dishes are reimagined versions of old Pearson and McVeigh family recipes, where tradition and food were always the beating heart of the home.

Greens is proudly owned and operated by women—the powerhouses behind our innovative plant-based menu and creative libations. Over the years, we’ve evolved from “the weird vegan place” into a true downtown destination.
Because plant-based isn’t just for vegans anymore.

We know that one small cafe cannot change the world, but we are inspired and driven to make the world  little bit better simply by serving you good food.

At Greens, we recognize that our work takes place on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe peoples, including the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations.
​We honour the enduring presence and contributions of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation, the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, and Bkejwanong Territory (Walpole Island First Nation).
As a food-based community organization, we recognize the deep connection between land, food, and culture, and we commit to operating in a way that respects this land and its original stewards.
