Salata is one of my favorite spots because you get a hearty amount of food, the ingredients are not…read moreonly healthy, they are fresh, and I never feel horrible for over indulging. This location is tucked away at the end of an outlet just outside Sam Houston Parkway. The interior is very clean, and there is plenty of seating inside and outside. The staff is generally friendly. They walk you through all the ingredients/sections to build your ideal salad or wrap. At this location the person operating the register always asks if I have reward points. I like this because I could easily forget to scan my member number. This person takes my phone number and lets me know my point balance which is also nice. Some tips: Don't be scared to ask for all the ingredients you want. You can even ask for extra scoops of dressing. There are nuts, seeds, and bacon near the soup... you can put this in your salad too. I get so many components I don't feel the need to add a protein. Instead I add egg and bacon as my protein, and it doesn't cost extra. Also, ask for pita chips or bread as you're checking out. These are also complimentary. I would consider downloading their app and joining their rewards program as you can earn $5 off your next meal. Also, on your birthday you are given a $12 credit to Salata. Cheers!!

The staff was welcoming and helpful throughout. I ordered the creamy chicken noodle soup with a half sandwich. The soup was really good and the portion was generous for the bowl size. I've now tried two sandwiches, the Zeus and the Patty Melt, and both were good choices. You can tell everything is made fresh to order. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again.

Used to frequent the one in Humble and the one off the Southwest Freeway tons back in the 90s and 00s. I'm so happy this location has held on. I typically stick to salad with a side of pasta (Tuna Skroodle gives me life!) soup and dessert. I skip all the newer things like the taco bar, the potato bar. They have the fixins for Strawberry Shortcake and their fresh fruit is on point. The one thing I do miss is the old gingerbread. It was so moist and delicious. Made in a tray and cut into single servings, not like it is now - baked as a single serving. It makes it drier. Every time I have gone - it's clean, including the bathrooms. All the staff is friendly. We have been checked on a lot (maybe even too much lol) To the person complaining about the soup options - there are FIVE. It's all you can eat but come on....how much soup do you need? I don't live in Pasadena but drive through often and always stop if I can - sometimes I get it to go even :)

Betty's is a small place and they're located in small strip district, so they're easy to miss. Betty's dinner/lunch menu is very confusing though, you'd have to look up whatever dish it is or ask someone. That's challenging because the staff's English is very poor. They are friendly and attentive to their customers, that's what's most important. The prices are decent, and you can tell that every dish and sweets made here are fresh, from their kitchen. The sweet bread selection is vast, and they're cheap. Betty's Bakery and Kitchen is a nice place, but probably not recommended for little children or customers that have little patience.

Had to get our own coffees but our plates were delivered to us. Portions for breakfast are smallish with just the item and no extras (like breakfast potatoes or grits). Avocado toast had a thin layer of brownish avocado spread on a bread that had been toasted on a waffle iron. Scrambled eggs, looked like they had been premade and broken into smallish pieces. That said my latte was very good and they offer a lot of drink options. Partner said plain coffee was good but not great. Not sure I would go back unless I was driving by because getting breakfast there did not satisfy. It was more like eating at a fast food place, which will keep you from being hungry, but not necessarily be the greatest experience. I hope this place can hang on but needs something to make it more buzz worthy.

Service and Atmosphere: The young lady at the counter was sweet and listened attentively when I explained that I needed to speak with the Manager and why. She didn't hesitate, she went and called her manager whose demeanor was quite inviting and pleasant. My visit had nothing to do with his restaurant but he listened, he heard me, and he apologized to me on behalf of the location that I was not pleased with. Chris didn't have to do that, but he did. I couldn't have asked for a better experience from such a kind, patient, and understanding human being. We need more people like Chris, the Manager at Panera on Fairmont in Pasadena. I would rather travel to a farther Panera location than to visit the one near my home in order to be treated with dignity and respect. I am now a new and loyal customer of THIS Panera!
