Actually decent for on the go health concious food. Calories listed on the menu. Large bowls range from like 330 kcal to 770 depending on what you get. Small size is obviously less calories.

I'm impressed. I thought this was just a healthy food place. While they have healthy options the food is very tasty. I had the BBQ Ranch Chicken wrap. Unique flavors and very tasty. Also it's quite filling. I also tried the white chili chicken, it's kinda of bland imo. They have a host of broths and soups I would like to try as well as interesting drink selection. I kinda like the Mandarin cardamom. The berry patchmaker is tasty as well. And the fig and vanilla is interesting. Overall I would say their refreshing. The other fruit juices our kinda sweet. All fruit juices are organic and use real cane sugar. They also have green and black tea as well as coffee all cold.

I enjoy this place a lot! I get the tinga taco bowl every week since I work next door at Jewel. Im not sure if there was a recipe change or if ingredients are missing but today my bowl is extremely bland! Usually its spicy with the red salsa & a lot more tasty! Very disappointed today with how underwhelming it is! Maybe forgot to add salt & spice today??

I went here for the first time not too long ago. The menu was hard to navigate initially but the staff were very helpful, especially when I said I was new. There are plenty of veggies and healthy options. I would suggest this place for lunch!

This place is like no other. It is an upscale experience signaled by the organic interior design of the dining area with oversized graphics depicting food choice categories prior to placing your order. So many great world cuisine healthy choices made my first visit kind of overwhelming along with the pallet of awesome colors of dish ingredients laid out before you. Make your selection and watch your meal as it is intricately put together at your request. Friendly staff and management make the experience first rate. ENJOY!

The food left me with a clean and satisfied sensation. Very flavorful as well. Looking forward to trying more options.

Food was good but I got carry out and should of known when I looked in the bag and didn’t see dressing to ask. I assumed it was in the salad already. Got home after an hour drive in the snow and there was no dressing. Never assume.

Food was okay. The chicken on my bowl was cold and the sweet potatoes I ordered were not cooked, and also cold. Was super excited to try this place, but I am not sure if I'll be retuning :(

Service can be hit and Miss so I don't recommend coming in if you are in a time crunch. The food is excellent and there are so many healthy and gluten free options! The restaurant is also always spotlessly clean and there is outdoor seating available.

This is my go-to salad place, hands down. Way better than Sweetgreen! The ingredients are always fresh (although sometimes the avocado is frozen) and the portions are very good. I can usually get 2 meals out of a salad. I love how much you can customize. I'm a big fan of the Southwest Chicken salad and the dressing it comes with.

I bought a bowl for lunch and the cashier verbally stated it would be around $10.70 or so with tax, which makes sense for a regular bowl. When I looked at the receipt (after I had already left the place), he had added on $2.55 of tip without ever asking me. Now, I don't mind tipping and $2 is not the end of the world, but the fact that this was snuck onto the bill without my consent is frustrating. Learned my lesson to always check receipts immediately.

Food is fresh, organic and non gmo. I just started getting salad here and now I go every week. Employees are friendly as well.

Food is good. Never had a bad meal there yet. But my biggest complaint is the staff. They need to slow down when taking orders or better yet, help the customer out. I sat in line and listened to customer after customer asking "huh" and "what" over and over again. And one might say that it's the masks that people can't hear over. But I was 4 people back in line and I could clearly hear what the person behind the counter was saying. But alot of times I heard what they are, but because they say whatever they say so fast my brain takes a few moments extra to process the information. Just slow down. It'll actually make the process faster.

Gluten-free! Everything in the restaurant is gluten free other than the bread crumbs, that are kept away from all the other food in a separate container. I'm celiac and also have Crohns disease, and as soon as I told them they immediately took precautions. The food is fresh, colorful and delicious! I got the spicy Thai chicken bowl, so good!

Food is great I actually really like the food here. But I was here the other day and I walked into the bathroom and it was so dirty that it made me walk out and nor order. I am making this comment in hopes this reaches the right person so they can fix that issue. Because the food is good but if the bathroom looks and smells like that in a way that it really looks like it doesn't get cleaned often I can only imagine the other stuff not being cleaned.
