This location unfortunately has some quality control issues. While it's usually fine, there are times that the greens are clearly past peak, and once where I thought they should have just thrown out the arugula (it had many black spots on it and was very bitter). Still, a very solid option for salads.

Sweet green is one of my personal favorite places to eat at due to how delicious and healthy it is! However when it come to the workers at this location and there priorities they are very very rude and will ignore you when asking a question. Going to this sweet green location I have never come in contact with a kind worker or a worker who is helpful. Another issue I have is when I order it on the app because I rlly dislike going in person to this location due to how rude the workers constantly are, my order is either incorrect or extremely late. I do love sweet green but this might not be the location to choose to get it from in my opinion. Peace and Love

When I was ordering my food, I was met with incredibly rude and rushed service. The guy forgot ingredients and did not stop to ask whether i wanted modifications even though I said I wanted to add some things. Being super dismissive and annoyed in attitude, rudely blurted “uh really? you want to add things? it’s extra.” Then when ringing me up didn’t even add the sauce that is included. Really made me uncomfortable. I’m not coming back for sure

Being super dismissive and annoyed in attitude, rudely blurted "uh really? you want to add things? it's extra." I originally wanted to swap chicken for mushrooms but without checking with me, lazily jammed a scoop of chicken into my plate. Then when ringing me up didn't even add the sauce that is included. Really made me uncomfortable. Other than bad service the quinoa was overcooked and mushy like congealed oatmeal. I'm not coming back for sure

I ordered a harvest bowl and as I was taking a bite, a LIVE caterpillar/worm crawled out of my salad. I spat my food out and threw the rest in the trash, but this absolutely disgusting. Do they not wash their food before they serve it? I will never be coming here again, and I'm still sick to my stomach thinking about what I had already eaten before I saw it.

Went here yesterday for a dine in. Staff is polite and very kind. Salad offerings are too good. I am a vegetarian and all salads can be made vegetarian and i was joyful. We had one bowl (shroomami with white rice) and one salad (Humus crunch). Both were yummy and portion is good for a full meal. They offer complimentary bread with every dish you order. Will visit to try to other items on the menu very soon.

Ok. I love this place….but my gripe is please put the tamper seal sticker on the salad bowl and the bag for DoorDash orders…. My order has been showing up without it and that’s concerning…. It’s in a strangers car and when I receive it the top isn’t even on the salad bowl… please protect us and our food…

So happy to find this place so close to my work. I just order on my app and watch the timer go when my lunch is ready off I walk to pick up at their convenient pick up shelf. Their salads are always fresh with so many selections to choose from they make their own salad dressing which are oh so good they have a huge area to walk up and order your salads or pick up ones they have already made the chicken they put in the salads is so delicious seasoned perfectly I love to add the seasoned broccoli to my salads it so good Sweet greens is located right at the corner easy to run in and grab your food. Love having this place so close to my work it's my go to place for lunch along with mostly everyone else in our dept

I've heard from vegetarian that this is good food so after a long biking/onewheel session with my friend who is somewhat picky about food I decided to take him here.I'm actually quite surprised that there is actually meat (such as salmon and chicken) in the menu.I however decided to go all vegetarian on this particular meal by ordering the Harvest Bowl because I want to see whether it's actually good.Honestly it's alright but not good enough to say it's good food. It's edible and possibly healthy as an occasional thing if you mostly eat meat.The Harvest Bowl has so much kale which makes it hard to digest but oh well. The wild rice and the almonds are helpful to make the food taste less than a salad but because of the kale it still tastes like a hard to chew salad. Overall, not my thing and it's probably popular among certain demographics who are over represented in the Bay Area.It's however a good place to eat if you do have to eat with people who are picky about food (not in taste but just what they can eat).I do like the place however as it not only is welcoming but also it has plugs under almost all the seating so I'm super happy that I can charge my onewheel while I'm eating.

Ordered fish tacos which came as a salad with broken, stale corn chips. The salmon had been glazed with miso so naturally the smell and combination of that with cilantro-lime dressing was an abysmal failure. Is it a lazy cook or general lack of caring and quality control?
