Excellent experience from start to finish. The food is very good, with fresh ingredients and perfect flavor. Additionally, the place is always very clean and organized, which gives a lot of confidence. The absolute highlight was the exceptional service I received from David Ayala, who was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place. read more

I needed a lunch and stopped by Carrot Express because I knew it was a healthy and fresh option. You order at the counter and they bring your order to you after. I got: - 1/2 sandwich/side (Caesar chicken wrap and sweet potato fries): wrap was kinda small but good portion enough for a little pick me up. Sweet potato fries were good! I had leftovers so it was nice to heat those up in my air fryer to make extra crispy -iced strawberry matcha: this was pretty good! Nothing crazy but a solid matcha. There's ample seating against the wall and some outdoor seating too. There's a single stall bathroom. My one complaint is that there are no books in the bathroom so I had to hold my bags lol. read more

Food was good. Mall is beautiful. Service was very lacking. Both front counter persons spoke zero English and instead of trying to help, they told me to use the touch screen monitor to place my order. Placing my order on the screen, it didn't allow for any substitutions. I wanted to change my bread type - nothing, I wanted to change my dressing type- nothing. I wanted to remove something from my salad and again - nothing and then to top it off, it wanted me to tip the staff. Not impressed at all! read more

The city has quite a few options for healthy bites but it isn't until recently that I've given Carrot Express a try. There are meat/seafood/vegan options on the menu that spans breakfast to lunch to dessert. I tried the poke wrap and found it to be balanced with crisp veg, fresh fish and the perfect amount of dressing. The price point was steep for fast casual as the wrap alone was about $24 (with tax), and that will likely prevent me from making this spot a staple. I've also tried the carrot cake from here, but the slice was nothing to write home about. There's plenty of seating inside, and service was friendly, so overall a good spot to stop by if you don't mind the prices. read more

If you are in any way in a hurry. Do not go here. There were only 2 people inside and they had already been served. We ordered two basic coffees (nothing special) to go. It took 15 minutes to get them. They tasted fine, but it should not take 15 minutes for two americanos. Especially when they were not busy. read more

The staff are incredibly kind and I was very glad to find the menu is vegan friendly! Though the cashier told me the V stood for Vegan not Vegetarian... but a couple items tagged with the V had eggs in them. I was excited to start eating (solo) and then this person sat right next to me who ordered a fish dish.. as a vegan I was having a really hard time eating whilst smelling the stank. And I also found a tiny piece of something very hard (not edible) in my bowl. Like a pebble? lol I'm writing this with more than half of my meal still remaining bc I had to take a second to recoup before trying to finish. Overall would possibly give them another chance but I do think I'll bring this.. pebble(?) to the staff's attention. read more

Great service always and always like the sweet potato option (: Also the smoothies as well!

Last weekend I went once again to Csrtot Express in the Flatiron area to have the Almond Joy smoothie. This had been recommended and I was trying to find one that I liked at the sadly lamented Terry that folded during covid. Here almond butter, coconut flakes, granola and other ingredients made a fairly good smoothie but I felt that something was missing. Maybe some dates in it would have given it a tasty kick? Service as always was professional and with few customers I could have sat anywhere comfortably. Next time I will request for dates to be added. read more

On the one hand, Carrot Express feels like a sterilized salad chain with no personality and simplistic branding. They still have a vaguely Asian salad named "Oriental Crunch" on their menu, for goodness sake. But my perennially healthy heart loves their huge menu of smoothies, power shots, juices, and enormous salads. The salads do run over $20 once you add a protein to them, but the portions are really enormous and the ingredients are quite fresh. I like coming here on days I go hard at the gym and will treat myself to a generous portion of sesame crusted tuna, salmon, or mahi mahi over a bed of greens. The green goddess salad is my favorite-- with arugula, spinach, kale, avocado, cucumber, and toasted pumpkin seeds with miso ginger vinaigrette and a huge piece of roasted salmon. You can still get a better salad at say, sweetgreen, but if you're wanting to change up your lunch spot this is a pretty solid option. Their juices and power shots are fresh and the ambience inside is a step above your average salad chain. Their signature carrot cake was way too sweet for my tastes, but good for anyone with a sweet tooth wanting to balance out their healthy meal with something more indulgent. read more

04/24/23: Trying to be healthy and I search of a filling salad. I think I found it. Passed by a few times on the way home and decided to finally step in. Very clean, brightly lit and pleasant staff. Decided on LA MEXICANA romaine, roasted corn, black beans, jack cheese, tortilla strips, avocado, cilantro & tomato. tossed with our honey-lime vinaigrette. Yuuuum, very filling. Definitely will return when in the mood for a salad. read more

I am a lover of the acai bowl and I was looking for one that had cocoa nibs included in the toppings this was the nearest store I ordered the almond butter acai which has them included, and I felt greatly disappointed because they did not give me cacao nibs when I asked the girl why she kindly offered me a replacement she was very kind but I think they must have enough inventory or announce to the customer that some part of their order is not available read more

Ordered the "Choco Dream" smoothie; I feel like the $13 price tag (after tax) is a bit steep, especially because it was just alright (and had a weird aftertaste). It would be one thing if it was super delicious -- then I'd happily pay; I pay $10 just for a draft latte from La Colombe all the time because it's soooo good, but this was just meh/not worth it. The menu was pretty extensive though & maybe I'd have better luck with a salad, etc... though I don't think I'll be back any time soon read more

Carrot Express - Choco dream smoothie - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered a Caesar salad, lentil soup, carrot cake and pineapple, spinach carrot juice. Three stars is not a bad review in my book. The lentil soup with kale was delicious and I would certainly come back again in the future for some soup again. It was light and not a creamy soup. It would certainly be a wonderful meal after a workout. The carrot cake was absolutely divine. It was moist, had the perfect bite. Lastly, the Caesar salad with falafel was my least favorite in terms of what the cost would be to order the salad. I feel that I had some lettuce thrown into a container with some powdered cheese and a couple of croutons. I loved that the dressing was on the side so I could control how much I was adding. It was not the most beautiful presentation and just seemed as if it was thrown in the container. ($14.95) Falafel side was okay. Enough flavor and not greasy. Very nice and healthy approach. Juice was good and was nice to enjoy today on such a hot 90 degree day. It seems to be very understaffed here and the Uber eats and Doordash orders are extremely busy. Employees are nice - just very crazed. Hopefully it was an off day and the employees are not as stressed.I opted to dine out because of how busy it was. read more

The la bomba wrap I ordered was tasty! It's vegetarian but it didn't feel like I'm eating just veggies and a tortilla, the meal left me stuffed once I finished it :) Carrot Express recently opened up in Flatiron and I wanted to give it a try! One thing I would note is it's not like fast food, the food might take a bit (faster than restaurant dining but slower than fast food) so if you looked at the title assuming it's "express" it's not that quick so just keep it in mind. Though the orders do not come out asap, I really appreciated the TLC they put into my wrap, it was nicely presented, fully stuffed, quinoa/ all the ingredients were fresh, and everything was so warm!! They definitely cooked it on the spot - I walked from here to Baruch Vertical campus and my wrap still had steam coming out! Will be trying something new the next time I visit here! read more

Carrot Express completely exceeded my expectations. They have a huge healthy menu and I wanted to try everything. I ordered the following to go: - Poke Wrap ($16.95+) - Strawberry Passion Smoothie ($8.95+) The Poke Wrap was healthy, very filling and absolutely delicious. You have a choice of: - brown rice or quinoa - fresh ahi tuna or fresh salmon - cilantro lime or soy ginger dressing It also had a bunch of other delicious ingredients inside including avocado, edamame, seaweed salad and more. I'd asked for my wrap without the spicy mayo & eel sauce and added soy sauce instead at home. The Strawberry Passion Smoothie was fresh and tasty, with a delightful blend of strawberries, fresh apple juice, banana and honey. It was perfect for a hot day like today. The food did take more than 15 minutes during off peak hours, even though the place is called Carrot "Express." It was still worth the wait, though. They had a couple of tables outside and plenty of tables inside, with a modern, clean, chic vibe. If you have time and are looking for a healthy, delicious option in Flatiron, give this place a try! read more

I came here as a part of a Yelp Elite Promotion and wasn't sure what to expect. I'm not always a fan of fast-casual healthy places, but I was excited to give it a try. And I was not disappointed! I took my order to-go, but was a bit bummed about that because the inside of the place is adorable. The vibes are great, everything is clean, and the decor is inviting. The staff was incredibly kind and quick. I was impressed from the moment I walked in the door. I got a piña colada smoothie and a liv wrap. I LOVED my smoothie. It was so fresh and so tasty, but not so rich that it made me feel weighed down. It was smooth and filling. It was completely unexpected and a refreshing surprise. My wrap was delicious as well. I'm hesitant to get wraps a lot of places because they usually have the facade of being healthy when they actually aren't, but this wrap was so different. It was filling and delicious in all the right ways. This stuff was great fuel for my body! I would suggest Carrot Express for anyone looking for something quick, filling, and healthy. It's in a great location for tourists and locals alike for a good lunch. I'll come back soon! read more

Came in on a Friday evening. It was quiet at that hour, but that was fine with me, as I didn't have to deal with the rush hour crowd. The venue is spacious and has plenty of tables and booths for seating. The guy working behind the counter was quite friendly. I got a Choco Dream smoothie and the Poké bowl with salmon+tuna as my protein and brown rice as my base (the alternative was quinoa, but he recommended the rice). read more

This place is an awesome location for fast, casual and healthy food! It was perfect timing for me since I came here after the gym and this place had lots of great healthy options that left me feeling full and content. I ordered the chicken pesto bowl, a refresher juice and a carrot cake. The bowl was loaded with lots of brown rice, chicken, kale, avocado and corn. I loved every single bite of it. The juice was delicious too for something that had ginger in it to give it a nice kick. The carrot cake was also super moist and delicious. I would love to get this on my own again for a snack. Their menu is so expansive and diverse that I feel like I would have to come here much more frequently just to try out their vast selection of wraps, bowls, salads, burgers, sweet potatoes, juices, desserts, etc. All in all, eating healthy never tasted and looked so good. I'm a fan of this place and can't wait to go back again. read more

Every time I swear off Uber Eats, I end up right back on it. So, what's my go-to spot? Carrot Express. If you're looking for healthy food that's not bland, not gross, and not something you have to make from Trader Joe's every day just to save money, Carrot Express is where it's at. They're fast, convenient, healthy, and, most importantly, delicious. Whether you're recovering from a healthier kind of hangover or just want a solid daytime meal, they've got great deals. Sometimes they run two-for-one avocado toast specials (hearty sourdough, by the way), or two-for-one salads, which makes it super economical. I definitely recommend delivery, pick-up, or takeout from Carrot Express. I think their location is in Chelsea... Maybe one day I'll actually go in and check it out! read more

This is a new healthy spot to try. The atmosphere is really nice. They've done a great job making it seem fancy and yet cozy and chic at the same time. The food tastes healthy and fresh. I ordered the orange juice and you could tell it had been freshly squeezed. I also got the falafel wrap. I thought it was okay, the falafel was under salted and the cilantro lime sauce was much sweeter than I expected. The carrot cake was a really big slice and tasted good. I do think the spot is a bit more expensive than what it's worth. read more

Have has this spot on my list & was in the area so decided to stop in for lunchtime. I ordered the Liv Wrap and the Oriental Crunch Salad. Here are my thoughts: - The Liv Wrap: Gluten Free eaters, wraps can be made with a gluten free wrap. Yay! Please note there is an additional $2.50 charge for the gluten free wrap. C'est la vie! I also opted out of the cheese that is included in the wrap & the staff were accommodating to remove. Good combination of quinoa, chicken, and kale. Definitely filing. - The Oriental Crunch Salad was ordered with chicken. Please note that adding chicken is an additional $9.95 to the price of the salad. All the ingredients included in this salad tasted very fresh. The honey lime peanut vinaigrette is a great compliment. Very light and refreshing. The inside is clean and the staff is friendly and answer any questions. Combination of sit in diners and people taking their orders to go. It was a bit pricey in my opinion even with my particular eating habits. read more

Such a delicious and healthy meal! I am so happy they finally opened up one in NYC! Now we have a Florida favorite in NY. Your restaurant is proof that nutritious food can be delicious! Here's what we ordered: ~ Poke bowl with brown rice, salmon, Seaweed salad, edamame, arugula, cucumber, scallions, avocado, carrots, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, crispy onion, spicy Mayo and eel sauce. My partner absolutely loved this bowl. It was so fresh and had so many different textures. ~Turkey burger with a side of Caesar salad. The bun on the burger was really good and honestly I could have eaten that Caesar salad for days!!! It was awesome: ~Almond butter acai bowl- organic Brazilian acai topped with almond butter, cacao nibs, granola, strawberries, bananas, pineapple and we asked for no blueberries. This bowl was so fresh and delicious!! Would definitely get this again! ~California eggwich- toasted sesame bagel, 2 cage free folded eggs, smashed avocado, arugula, tomato, lime juice, feta, and olive oil. A really solid sandwich and the lime juice on it was so refreshing! Totally recommend Carrot Express for some delicious healthy eats including salads, juices/smoothies, acai bowls, sandwiches, platters, and baked goods! read more

Came here for a Yelp Elite event and was extremely surprised by this spot! Healthy, delicious, and big portions. I also really appreciate they have gluten free options since I'm GF most of the time. I got the: 1. Marios Favorite Chicken Bowl I really liked this bowl. It smelled good even before I dug in. The chicken was juicy and the cilantro lime dressing was super yummy. I think my only thing was that it could've used more of the greens but hey, I'm getting way more filling stuff (chicken, quinoa and rice, etc) than if it was just salad so yay! 2. Pina Colada Smoothie OMG. This was awesome. It really did taste like a pina colada but a little less coconut-y and was so creamy yet refreshing for this 90 degree day. I also tried the Julie's Smoothie (the worker had extra and gave me 1/2 a cup worth!) and it was sooo good. More tart but equally as fresh and delicious. 3. Carrot Cake OK, I wasn't expecting much since it was in a plastic tub in the cold area near other juices, but this was surprisingly moist and delicious. I let it sit out before eating it (cold cake is always drier to me). The cream cheese frosting was sweet without being overly so and the cake itself was perfect (not too dense, definitely not dry, fluffy but filling). I also loved the nuts in it. This isn't GF but really good nonetheless! Service was awesome. The employees were friendly and giving good recommendations. I would definitely recommend this place. I wanted to get the poke wrap so maybe next time I'm around! read more

Wow! Carrot express makes me wish I lived/worked nearby! I had a hard time choosing, but finally settled on the Bomba Wrap and a slice of carrot cake (it's called ~balance~). The falafel inside was piping hot, a true sign of freshly made food. The wrap was really flavorful without being laden down with sauces and was really filling. The carrot cake was also baked fresh and had to be cut for me, and it was absolutely worth the extra minute or two. It was so flavorful and had a great cake to frosting ratio. Everyone working was also very nice and attentive, and worked hard to quickly assist their customers. I will find an excuse to come back! read more

Ordered a tuna Mexican salad with a slice of carrot cake to go. First off the carrot cake was delicious, the cream cheese frosting not too sweet and very creamy. The cake was moist and still maintained some textural crunch from carrots. The salad was very filling and both the greens and avocado was fresh and mixed very well. Normally not a tuna salad fan but it was something different not offered at chopt or cava. Maybe too watery for my taste but seasined well and a lot was given. Extra plus that it was packed separately from the salad so that the greens did not get soggy. Overall a very filling meal. Their prices are slightly higher than other fast casual salad chains but definitely worth a stop in. read more

I had pretty high expectations from the menu. There are a LOT of options, many (but not all) vegan. The music isn't super loud, the lighting and decor is great, and it's overall a nice casual restaurant. The employee wasn't the most knowledgeable on what was vegan and what wasn't- had to confirm that the Brussel Sprouts Kale Salad was vegan (it's not labeled on the menu as such), and almost got the wrong non vegan muffin. They have free infused water which is super nice. Wait time was about 15 min. The salad was very fresh, and they give a LOT of dressing (don't use it all or you'll be swimming in dressing). Quite tasty, though my preference for dressing is miso sesame as opposed to lemony, the default given. The side tofu was a little bland (very mild sesame flavor) and was not roasted or cooked much to add texture, so only good if you like tofu for tofu (which I do). The muffin was put in a plastic container which kind of sucks, but is reasonable given it's size. The vegan carrot walnut muffin ($6) is a little smaller than the other ones, but it was very sweet, dense, and moist. Very indulgent. Also got the green dream juice with kale, spinach, pineapple, and green apple. Was quite good, not super cold, and quite pricey ($9). All in all this place is on the pricier end, but i think everything is pretty well thought out. I think for me as a vegan, I would still prefer other vegan casual restaurants (there's one 2 blocks ish away), since they're cheaper and still just as good. But here does have a much larger menu. If you dine in you get real tableware instead of just to go containers, so that's a plus for sustainability. You can just leave the plates and an employee will pick up. To go containers are mostly non recyclable black plastic. read more

I'm not usually one to like fast casual healthy places, but the food here really surprised me. I got Mario's favorite bowl and I can understand why it's a favorite! It was a delectable blend of grains, chicken, nuts and kale. All of the ingredients tasted very fresh and best of all, it was warm. I got my order to go, but the inside is actually quite nice and there are a number of tables so it's definitely possible to sit down. My only slight concern is that the bowls can be pretty expensive (~$18) for more casual food, but it is a hefty portion and a notch above the usual fast casual, so I can also understand it to some extent. read more

Great new addition to the New York food scene! I came here as part of a yelp elite promotion and am super happy with my experience here. We ordered the La Bomba wrap, chicken pesto platter, drinks and a vegan cookie. The la bomba wrap was delicious! It came out nice and toasty, with fresh veggies, perfectly cooked falafel, and a homemade cilantro line dressing. The chicken pesto platter was delicious as well and had very fresh avocado and tomatoes. The pesto sauce also tasted great and the rice helped make the dish even more filling. The vegan cookie was a great addition to the many vegetarian and vegan options here. They give you a number after you order and bring the food to your table which is in a great airy space. I would definitely recommend coming here for a fast casual bite to eat, after a workout, or just to have some healthier food! read more
