This is my go to. The food is always delicious and everyone who works there is so friendly. I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you order. I'm always finding something new that's just as good. My only tip is to get there earlier as the line can get packed at lunch. Most recent find was the overnight oats which far exceeded my expectations of being a boring breakfast food. Not to mention they make it in house.

The nut butter açai smoothie is delicious, as are the pastries. These alone are worth a visit. This cafe is located in the Mazda building, so you will need to park in one of the Spectrum Center garages nearby. There is no dedicated parking lot. The staff are few in number and can easily get overwhelmed. It is best to avoid peak times if you have food or a smoothie made to order. There are a number of prepared options if you need something quicker.

I should have wrote this review a long time ago. Please ignore the other reviews because they don't understand that this place is a DIAMOND just off the side of the Irvine Spectrum. It's quality food and the owners break their backs trying to provide amazing service to their customers. Yes, it's located in a commercial building and open during specific hours. The foot traffic is for lots of the people who work around there. And there's a HUGE reason they all go back to eat here...because Everything they make is amazing and very reasonably priced. You won't find any place around Spectrum where you can get a full meal without breaking the bank. I've walked up and down the entire Spectrum complex and found nothing as convenient, good quality, and priced like Sea Salt + Basil.

Another good spot for work lunches. If you're an admin in the area and need a good healthy option for your team, this place hits checks off all the boxes. Vegetarian and meat options. Fast easy online ordering and clean location. Highly recommend their wraps and salads.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Not just the food the people in there are just as amazing! Everything they have to offer is full of flavor. GET THE GREEN SALSA ON ANYTHING. It is so good I eat with everything. The burritos are by far my favorite followed by the hot sandwiches. If you're looking for a quick, affordable, and healthy meal go here!
Today was my first and final experience at this establishment. I learned of them via Grubhub. In the GH platform and confirmation notice I received after placing the order, there were clear instructions that stated should I want curbside delivery, that it is available. I simply needed to note that in my order instructions, and when I arrive, was instructed to call the business number so that they could come out with my food. I followed all the instructions. When I arrived, I called their phone number. A grumpy and rude male picked up the phone and said that they don't offer curbside. He also said that he was alone working and then hung up on me. I was speechless. So unprofessional and not customer centric at all. Also, a total lie. I saw at least 3 employees. This business is inconveniently located for drivers. If you are an employee at this Mazda building, then you can simply go downstairs to the ground level and pick up your food. If you are coming from elsewhere, you have to park in the paid parking structure where there is very limited parking. All this takes extra time which I did not factor in as I was misled to believe wrong info. When I finally made my way into the biz, the rude male looked guilty and knew I was the one he spoke to earlier. I had lots of thoughts and words but chose to take the high road and not say anything there. His poor management and communication and lack of responsibility caused unnecessary stress and caused me to be late to my meeting. He proceeds to say, "The next time you should blah blah blah." And I simply said, "I have nothing to say to you. There won't be a next time so no need to speak on it further." I reviewed all that transpired with GrubHub corporate care. They were mortified and agreed that what happened was 100% wrong by the business. They refunded my money and said they would look into this further. Wow just wow.

Great food options. Great food prices. Great food, and even better super friendly employees. Calm and peaceful place.

They packed my order half-assed and didn't pack the right items. I'm surprised they even got my sandwich order correct. They didn't give me chips they gave me a salad with no dressing. I ordered an apple streusel they gave me a raspberry bar. The lady who worked there didn't even look like she was happy to be there. And the sandwich portions were very small. I don't know if I'll be back.

We had a delicious turkey and brie sandwich on a toasted baguette with a side of pasta. Inexpensive little spot to grab a quick bite to eat. They also have prepackaged to go options if you're in a hurry.

Amazing food and even better service. Such a great location for the building that they are in. Easy to get in and out, if your office isn't in the building. Check it out!
