I just visited Brown Bag Deli for the first time today and had to run to make a review. I was in the mood for something healthy and this came up as a suggestion. When you walk in you grab a clipboard and fill out your order on the brown bag. They have multiple bread options as well as wrap options if you are carb conscious. I opted for the lettuce wrap with turkey, ham, bacon, and avocado. You can select to have the proteins hot or cold. I chose to have them hot! The wraps were super delicious and everything tasted super fresh. My friend got a sandwich and let me try it because she was blown away by the white bread. It had a slight sweetness to it and was so delicious. Maybe I was jealous I didn't get bread....... Her and I split a chocolate chip cookie which was perfectly soft and extra chocolatey. The place was clean and the service was friendly. You have gained a new lunch regular!

I was excited for them to open a Brown Bag Deli on Shepherd! The service was great here and the restaurant was well maintained. As with all of the brown bag delis, the food is great. The sandwiches certainly aren't the flashiest or most exotic but they are done well at a reasonable price.

LOVED this sandwich. The white bread was so fresh, a hint of sweetness in it and really paired well with the turkey, bacon, lettuce, jalapeno jack, mayo & cucumber combination. We also added olive oil + S&P. Service was great & loved that they greeted everyone when walking in and out. Inside was cute, you fill out your sandwich preferences on the bag with a marker to give to the cashier for them to make the sandwich. Will definitely be back!

Lunch!

I really like Brown Bag Deli. Been having htem for a good bit now and they never let me down. Bread, meats, veggies & condiments are always fresh. They're not stingy with the portions either. My most recent orders have been via delivery service for my office. Brown Bag is one of the very few that get it right! Meaning if you enter add oil & vinegar, they add it. If you request cucumbers or olives, you will find it on your sandwich. Yesterday was turkey, ham, provelone, guda, plus pretty much every veggie. I could barely get half the sammy down & only a few bites of the potato salad. Which I might add is tasty too. Had the rest for dinner. I also tried the falafel patty for the 1st time. My coworker orded it with a salad & it was very tasty. Will be giving it a try next time. Prices are fair and from the times I've gone inside it's very clean & service is awesome. Love supporting small businesses like this. So give them a try if you can. Yelp on my friends!

Fresh and yummy. Super clean with friendly staff members. They have a nice chip selection and the bread is soft and sweet. The music was hip, a cool spot overall.

Located in MKT, plenty of parking spaces all around but it does get crowded during peak time…read more Mendocino provides a variety of sandwiches and salads, incorporating fresh ingredients. You can order at the counter, and they will bring the food to you. It's more of a self-served place. One of my favorite items to get is their Peruvian steak sandwich. Very filling portion, steak is cooked perfectly. The steak is tossed in a spicy aji amarillo sauce but it's not too spicy. The sandwich also comes with bag of Boulder potato chips. The staff are always friendly here. The space is clean with plenty of tables to sit at. This is a quick and easy spot to grab a bite to eat anytime you're at MKT.

They definitely lean into the healthy food concept, even having large windows where you can see all the fresh produce in their refrigerated storage area. The restaurant itself is nice. There's a decent amount of indoor seating, along with an outdoor seating area that's great when it's not the middle of a Houston summer. The MKT Center is also a nice shopping area, so it's a convenient place to grab lunch if you're already nearby. The service was just okay. The employees weren't particularly friendly, but they did their jobs. When I was ordering, they barely looked up at me. They seemed pretty overwhelmed with all the online and delivery orders coming in, even though there wasn't really a line in the restaurant. It looked like the lunch rush was just getting started, so I can imagine it gets pretty hectic during peak hours. As for the food, it's fine. Nothing particularly amazing, but nothing bad either. It definitely tastes like health-conscious food, which is probably exactly what most people are looking for when they come here. There are plenty of options for people trying to eat low-carb or watch their calorie intake. Overall, it's a perfectly fine Sweetgreen. The food is okay, the atmosphere is nice, and the service gets the job done. If you're looking for a healthier lunch option in the Heights, it's not a bad choice. Just don't expect anything particularly special.

Hands down one of my favorite salad/sandwich spots in Houston. They are a little pricey but it's…read moreworth it due to the quality of their ingredients and the size of your portion. A "zeppelin" (salad stuffed in bread) includes 4 ingredients and a salad includes six. You have the option to order a zeppelin or salad that is on the menu or you can build your own. I think it's cool that they make their croutons from the bread they take out to make the zeppelin shape. They also offer bread pudding, soups and specially crafted lemonades. The staff is always so sweet and ask the right questions to ensure they are making my order correctly. I would recommend downloading their app to benefit from special promotions and to earn points per purchase. After downloading the app, they give you $5 off towards your first purchase!

I ordered the Tejano Cesar Zepplin and added double chicken, pickled onions and halved tomatoes with a side of tomato, basil soup and it was all so good. I've never had a zeppelin until before now and it's the best way to describe it is that it's the cross between a sandwich and a salad. What it is exactly is a loaf of bread with the inside taken out so that it's like more of a shell and then it is a salad bowl like mixture stuffed in there. I feel like it's the perfect lunch because It's super filling, but also very light, and healthy! What more can you ask for. Wish I could even give this location 6 stars because I came about 40 minutes before close and he gave me 2 bread puddings for free because they were about to close.

The ambiance as soon as you walk in is welcoming, inviting, and intimate. Even if you dine outside, you are sure to feel cozy like a meal in your own home. The hostess always makes you feel invited. Any waiter we have had here has given GREAT recommendations so it helps us break free of ordering the same thing over and over. We have never had a single day of bad service here so we have become regulars anytime we travel into the inner loop of Houston for business or fun. The flavors?

Friendly staff, cute ambience, and the food, while simple was fresh and so tasty! I was pleasantly surprised and the best part was that I didn't feel gross, icky or full after eating. Albeit, I got a breakfast sandwich and didn't eat all the sourdough. I thought the sourdough was a bit dry, so I opted to just eat the eggs and veggies! Either way, I'd definitely come back. The beet juice was a 3.5/5 in my book. I enjoyed the food more than my juice. And I felt the juice was a bit overpriced. Great vibes and a great choice for healthy, clean eating!

She didn't care too much for the orange juice, but she said it tasted like they squeezed the oranges into the cup (she is 7 lol). I had the prickly pear mimosa, which was very yummy. Parking wasn't terrible, but I came around 12:30-1pm. It's a lot of places that share this lot, so it is normally full. The service was good. It is really cute in here, I just wish they did a better job at sweeping the floor (especially under the tables). So one point off for that. Otherwise, the breakfast is pretty good. I would return.
