    Lean N' Clean - GF DF PB with char chicken and lettuce
    Zeena A.

    LOVE me some Cali! They always hit the mark with the flavors Andi always leave impressed and satisfied. I recommend their Fresca's. All of them are super flavorful and delicious. Their pizzas are so good and all their bowls/salads hit the mark. I can truly say with confidence that there is nothing bad here. If you're in the area and looking for some good food, you definitely need to stop here.

    Bowl
    Candace S.

    I've gotten a few items from Cali before along with the restaurant chain and I have not been disappointed. I can't remember the name of the bowl I got this time but it contains steak, spaghetti, squash, noodles, beans, corn, avocado and turmeric rice. It was delicious! The only downside was that I felt like they were very skimpy on the steak and if I had known how little I would get, I would've tried to get a different option. The cookie was also bomb, but it is definitely overpriced for just one cookie. I ordered this through DoorDash, so I cannot comment on the service, although when I have gone in the past, it has been very friendly.

    Discovered this place while looking for healthier options. It was fairly empty for a Monday afternoon, we were immediately seated upon entering. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Cali wrap , classic pizza and the dragon fruit lime drink and the hibiscus drink Both the drinks were good but maybe a little too watered down. My Cali wrap was DELICIOUS! Fresh, crispy and flavorful The pizza was always yummy, very light and buttery overall just yummy! All of this cost $43 I was pretty shocked and expected it to be much more. We were given 2 free cookies for it being our first time, I don't think they normally do that lol but grateful to taste them. Both the chocolate chip cookies were yummy and also fresh. Looked like the bowls were very popular from what I seen on other tables, I will definitely visit again soon.

    Visiting Winthrop Christmas market and craving a Cali pizza. We ordered lavender ginger Frescas and a margarita pizza with charred chicken. Been dining here since they opened a decade ago and it never disappoints. Services is always impeccable and food is delicious. I love the bright airy openness of this place and they have live music today. Alex was our server and she was an all star!

    Brazilian bowl

    I've gone for lunch twice and I've had great experiences with the food and the staff. The staff is always very friendly and you can tell they care. I order the Brazilian bowl with chicken and tumeric rice and the cucumber mint agua fresca. They were both super fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back for a Max-mosa for brunch!

    Crispy lentil bites
    Laura A.

    My must do place whenever I'm in the Tampa area. The food is always delicious, dining in or carryout. I was by myself today and decided to dine in. Ordered my two favorites, a side of lentil bites and the spicy Brazilian bowl. I add the spaghetti squash as my bowl base and blackened chicken. The Caesar lime dressing perfectly cools the spicy jalapeño and chicken in the bowl. Fresh ingredients and tasty food every time. Bright and relaxing dining with great service too.

    Planta Tacos
    Harmonie T.

    Our friends and I ordered take out from Cali and had a really great experience all around. It started with the service. We were about to order online but had some questions about the vegan options. We spoke with the manager and he answered all our questions. Feeling confident about what to order, we placed the order online. After I placed the order, I realized that I didn't change the time of pickup and it defaulted to an asap pickup. So I gave them another call, spoke to the manager, and he let us change our pickup time. Our friends went to pick up the food so I couldn't tell you much about that experience but I was told that the atmosphere and decor is very coastal and relaxed. We ordered the Taco Family Pack which comes with 12 tacos, 4 cookies, chips, guac, and salsa. It's a legit deal for $62 and we get to pick 4 of their taco options. I had the Planta and even though it's the only vegan taco options, it's a very delicious option! It comes with chickpea-lentil fritters, guac, pico de gallo, vegan cheese, and vegan lime sour cream. I was pleasantly impressed. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cali-brandon-riverview?select=TvSQLIiCm4kBwR-3-YMX4A Solid meal! I would gladly eat here again.

    Soo... Buff
    Anna L.

    I discovered this spot during a recent road trip while searching for a healthy-ish place to stop for lunch, and we ended up loving Cali! It was the perfect place for a quick, yummy lunch and a nice clean place to feed the baby before getting back on the road. I got the Hot & Crunchy bowl (cucumber-jicama slaw, scallions, soy sauce, guacamole, tempura onion, sesame seeds, sambal aioli) with the suggested protein - seared ahi tuna and the coconut avocado rice as my base. Wow, this bowl was amazing and so flavorful. The ahi tuna was perfectly seared and the crispy tempura onions on top added a delicious crunch. My husband got the Soo... Buff bowl (roasted cauliflower, coconut buffalo sauce, celery, crumbled blue cheese, tempura onions, lime caesar, fresh herbs) with crispy chicken and coconut avocado rice as well. He really enjoyed the flavor combinations, especially the sauce paired with the blue cheese. We also got their cucumber mint agua fresca to drink and it was so refreshing --I drank two glasses. The service was friendly and super quick which we appreciated. I was happy to learn that they have 3 local locations in the Tampa Bay area, so we'll definitely be back!

    Absolutely delicious food and bowls! They have so many great clean and healthy options! Highly recommend the lean and clean bowl or the Asian salad! The service is great and fast!

    They always do a really good job with the flavors and seasoning at this location. The restaurant is spacious and beautifully accented with live plants. The server was pleasant and knew the menu enough to make recommendations. Parking was pretty easy as the location shares a parking lot with multiple other restaurants. Food came out quickly as it wasn't busy. Bathroom was clean and maintained. They have indoor and outdoor seating options.

    Whoa. This place was so good! This place has the same owners as fresh kitchen and the restaurant is vegan and vegetarian friendly. All fresh locally sourced food that is flavorful and absolutely delicious. The so buff bowl is the best. I got it with the crispy chicken. So good. If it's your first time there they give you a cookie and the S'mores cookie is OMG good. Taylor was our server and she was awesome. Very knowledgeable and guided us in the right direction. The max mimosa was amazing with the peach puree. The restaurant looks like it's an order at counter experience but you can sit and have a server take your order. The restaurant is clean and they have outdoor seating. Over all my experience was amazing and i will return.

    Mexican bowl
    Samantha B.

    Came here on a Sunday morning and it was the cutest place ever. Very clean but also trendy so it was inviting. I ordered the Mexican bowl (gf) with the suggested chicken and it was great! Perfect portion too, I was full but not stuffed. As someone who always craves bowls -- this place is my dream restaurant! I only wish I was closer so I could come here all the time. If I'm ever in the area again I'm coming here!! Service was great too we had a server who was attentive.

    Lean N' Clean - GF DF PB
    Bridgitt M.

    We enjoyed a nice late lunch at Cali recently, a quieter time of day. We began with an appetizer of crispy tortilla chips and savory guacamole (with a slight kick)! Then we shared a Wild Shroom pizza and the Lean n Clean bowl. The pizza is a new fav for me, as the texture of the mushrooms and the flavor of the olive oil really hit the spot! I enjoy lots of varieties of pizzas, but it is rare to find such a tasty and crave-able tomato-free pie! The bowl was just perfection - the rice was fresh and tasty, the chicken was seasoned just-right, and the fresh herbs pushed the flavors to a whole new level! Thank you for a lovely lunch. We will definitely be back for a brunch soon!!

The bowls are reasonably priced and packed with flavor. My go-to is the regular Build-Your-Own Bowl.

It's so delicious and loaded with nutrients to keep me going. Not only is it healthy and satisfying, but the regular bowl is under $12!

Just before getting the bowls home the car started to smell like the food and it was yummy. Opened the two bowls at home and they were chock-full of all the fresh ingredients we picked to the brim. Awesome. Didn't even need the two sauces they let you pick cuz the food was so fresh and flavorful. Every forkful had it's own unique blend of tastes and they were all great together. The chipotle sauce was tasty and light. The ginger tumeric had a great taste but was made with a mayo base I think and was just too thick/heavy. If they thinned it out a bit it would be perfect. This minor shortcoming was not enough to earn less than 5 stars. Enough food for 2 more meals, all for $10-15. Will Definitely be eating here again soon and frequently. Fresh, light, flavorful, clean. Done.

The collard greens the price is fine for a side ($5) but they are wayyyy too spicy, I like spicy but these are not what I was hoping for or expecting, you get more heat and burn than the taste or the collard greens which makes me sad.

The portion was smaller than expected and the collard greens was too spicy ( I've never had spicy collard greens). I am disappointed, it tastes good but yeah.
