This place is a nice place to get a healthy meal when you're downtown. Depending on the time you go, the wait can be long or short so beware of that when you plan to go. I'm boring and always get the El Sombrero. The dressing they use in that salad is delicious and all of the toppings go together so nicely. I like that the salads are prepared fresh. It doesn't come with meat so take in account if you want meat that your salad may be around $15. They also do all of their salads in a wrap and you can order a custom salad if the menu options aren't what you're looking for. The service is fast and friendly. I have noticed the portions have gotten smaller but I'll Definitely will keep coming back and maybe I'll try something new. read more

Ordering online is easy and they are accurate and make a delicious build your own salad. the 6th and Lenora location has the nicest people too who are so lovely when picking up your salad. Fremont is also nice. Makes being healthier easier and delicious. read more

I had the chicken and jalepeno pepper salad and it was excellent!! Lots of various ingredients along with brown rice to make sure this hungry dude was well fed. The staff were excellent and fun. I want one of these up here in Everett please! read more

A bit expensive but you will get a nice sized fresh salad! Can never go wrong with the El Sombrero. Staff is very nice and the line moves quickly. Way better than the airport location. read more

Evergreens Salad - EL SOMBRERO - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Bit into a chunk of dirt! Thought it was a piece of steak and bit into it which basically turned to mud in my mouth! It took forever to wash the grain pebbles out! I almost threw up! I called and talked to someone at Evergreens yesterday and they said someone would call me back today to make it right. You would think with such a serious issue they would make good on their promise but no call and they are closed now. Dirty and terrible service. So gross! read more

Evergreens Salad - Chunk of dirty in my salad that turned to mud in my mouth! - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I ordered a salad for my girlfriend via Uber Eats. Due to a glitch on Uber Eats app, the restaurant staff could not find it. She showed them screenshots, which confirmed that the order was indeed placed via Uber Eats, to which their response was "This order could have been placed on any day". The insinuation clearly was that we were being dishonest in insisting that we had indeed placed an order. My feedback to them is simple: your food may be good (I don't know, I didn't eat it, and quite frankly, I don't care). But your customer service requires a complete revamp. I would have given you a zero-star rating, but Yelp is far more forgiving than I am. So you get 1 star. read more

I've been getting [back] into my salad game, recently, and it's _so_ invigorating. This local salad chain has always been solid for my healthy go-to downtown for several years. Locations tend to ebb-and-flow depending on the staff, lunch rush, ventilation (low-ceiling cafes tend to be stuffy) and duration of seasonal offerings. For example, I think the dried sage herb can still be added here even though I think it was optional for the previous seasonal offerings. They're probably just using up the left-overs to minimize waste. The staff are more-or-less knowledgeable on most items and typically just chill. At the locations that still have the 2-handed chopping, that's now optional - try to tip extra for this extra labor workout! :) Generally, I get custom salad or grain bowls and focus on the simple yet clean HCLF (high carb low fat - plus high protein & fiber) ingredients. These include the grains (corn, quinoa, rice), legumes (chickpeas, black beans) and any combo of celery, bell peppers, cucumber, mixed greens & arugula. The dressing flavors are great - handful are vegan - but little too busy for my taste. I just go for some lemon squeezes, black pepper and sage (when it lasts). Just note locations typically pull the warm items (rice & quinoa) roughly 1-2 hours prior to closing. It's easy to see exactly what you get and the dressing menu even has ingredients included for the conscious consumers. The only questions I keep forgetting are which oil is used for the roasted items and are the black beans soaked before cooking? The green theme has always been my main draw since I first went to the old 3rd Ave location farther south. read more

I've always enjoyed their salads. Most of the time when I'm getting take out (while working downtown) it's here. Food is always delicious. Drawbacks is that prices went up and for about $14 you don't get any proteins, that's an additional $3. Also, when you get dressings they stack it on top of your salad so that you get less than if they just put it in the to go bag and then topped off your salad. read more

The best thing about Evergreens is Camilo! He takes the orders at the window and builds a friendship with each person. Camilo knows my order and takes great care of of me every time I go to Evergreens. I hope the ownership values Camilo as much as the customers do at this store! Keep up the great work, Camilo!!! read more

I was walking by one day and decided to download the Evergreens app on my phone. It came with a reward where I was able to buy a salad for just $5. I chose to order the salad through my app and pick it up to go for dinner. When I did this, I chose one of their featured salads and was able to include additions to my salad through the app. When I went to the store, I didn't have to wait in line and was able to just grab my salad and go, since you also pay through the app. I thought my salad was very filling and all of the ingredients tasted very fresh. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would recommend downloading their app to make things easier on the go. read more

Evergreens Salad - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've gone to Evergreens several times for lunch during work days a few times, when I've felt like getting a salad for a given day. It gets the job done, but I think it's just okay. I think I much prefer Toss'd, which is much cheaper and better-tasting, in my opinion, but is now too far from my workplace to warrant a frequent trip. == Food == Evergreens, of course, mostly focuses on serving you salad, and you can pick from either a list of pre-set salads, or customize your own. The ingredients they use here are pretty good, and there's a pretty decent variety of options to choose to put on your customized salad. The ingredients work pretty well, though I've found the ingredients at a few other salad places in town (like Toss'd) to taste a little better. Rating - 4/5 == Value for Price == For a salad, and for the amount you get, Evergreens makes you pay quite a lot. I once got a custom salad without any proteins (I wasn't feeling like adding proteins that day), and it cost me $9 before tax (this was circa early 2019). That seems kind of high, considering that places like Toss'd (where I've also preferred the taste) charge only $7 for a similar portion size. Not only that, but if you did want to add proteins, it's another $3, and again, that's higher than rival salad places. So, overall, when I went, I just had this lingering feeling that I notably overpaid for my food. It was still pretty decent food, though, so it's not like there was extremely low value for the price I paid, however. I just feel I would have liked going to other salad places for the taste, and the price here at Evergreens wasn't helping to sway my opinions of it too well. Rating - 2.5/5 == Service == Overall, the service at Evergreens was pretty decent. They took my order quite well, and making the order on my end was relatively hassle-free. The person taking my order was also very nice enough to recall that Samsung Pay could work with their payment systems, even though they didn't have an up-to-date credit card machine (Samsung Pay is backwards compatible with such machines, since it uses MST). This is quite a surprise to me, since most folks would assume that because Apple Pay didn't work with such legacy systems, Samsung Pay probably wouldn't either. It as only a minor thing, so it doesn't boost the service score here too much, but it was nice that the person behind the counter recognized this. Rating - 4/5 == Overall == All in all, Evergreens does a decent job of providing me with my salad fixes, whenever I'm feeling it. It's not the best salad I've had in town, but it still tastes pretty good. I just wish it was cheaper than it currently is, as it's pretty darn pricey right now, especially compared to competitors. Rating - 3.5/5 read more

Evergreens Salad - Custom Salad with spinach base - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Right by the offices, so you know it's going to be PACKED by lunchtime--ordering ahead is not a suggestion, it's a necessity. Regardless, Evergreens Salad is such a great, hearty, and healthy option for lunch. For around $12 you can stack your salad full with endless vegetable options--from roasted to raw to pickled. I also love how fruit is an option! The sauces are also such a hit. This place doesn't skimp on toppings and each bowl could last me for two meals. read more

Evergreens Salad - a salad in a plastic bowl - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place has become my absolute go-to place for my lunches. I'm on a low carb diet which requires me to eat as clean as possible and this restaurant can definitely deliver all of those things quite nicely! I have recently been using their app to order ahead and then just pickup my salad / grain bowl. I find this method to be much easier than waiting for lunch crowds and also when requesting a larger bowl (easier to eat in a larger bowl without everything spilling) they don't fuss about adjustments....when in person you constantly have to correct the order if you're big into modifying. Just a tip. read more

Pros : + Some of the best tasting salads I've had + Sustainability efforts (100% fully composting containers, napkins, utensils) + they let your use your own glass containers here instead of using their "plastic" stuff + friendly service + happening location + you can ask the server to "pack it well" for more salads Cons : - too little for too much = expensive salad - sustainability efforts not good enough. Compostable or not, it's still waste. Why not a self bussing reusable station? Extra point kudos : The girl who served me was awesome. Mahalo!!! :) read more

It's great to have a location nearby! Fresh produce and delicious salads eaten today. I brought home the asian chix and skinny greek salads.

Evergreens Salad - spicy caesar - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love Evergreens Salad - amazing varieties, fresh, delicious dressings. Apart from great quality, their service is outstanding - I had ordered a salad through MealPal, some urgent work didn't allow me to get it at the stipulated time. After speaking with them over the phone, their manager, JR assured me that I can come pick it up after work, asked for an estimate so they can prepare the salad fresh, close to my arrival. If that's not brilliant customer service, then I don't know what is! read more

Evergreens Salad - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Quality has really gone down hill. Used to be my go-to salad spot pre-pandemic but now I will avoid entirely. The ingredients are not fresh and they changed the chicken so it's now pre-cooked frozen and thawed (very weird rubbery texture). I tried the new grain bowls and those are worse. Jasmine rice was mushy and made the entire thing unappetizing. Employees seem to be lazy too - not cutting the avocados and throwing an entire half chunk right on top. The bread they provide on the side always tastes hard and stale. Given that it's also expensive I'd rather go elsewhere for lunch. read more

The best salads ever. So glad they came into the market. It was so needed. They're super easy to work with!

I love evergreens and have been a fan for years, but recently noticed a worsening decrease in quantity at this location since the beginning of 2019. I don't know the last time I left with a full bowl, which is so unfortunate. Three stars because the quality is good and the staff are always nice. read more

My new go-to spot for custom salads chopped and perfectly curated with tons of options and friendly service! It was my first time here and honestly, I've been craving a place like this in Seattle. We had a place like it called "Hello Bistro" in Pittsburgh that I ADORE, and this place meets the bill. They have a bunch of salad combination suggestions, but that can be overwhelming. I generally know what I like and so I took a stab at creating my own salad, and with the help of the guy behind the counter recommending a dressing, I was able to get a salad that PERFECTLY pleased me. For real, I'll be back. The one thing about it that I'm not super into is the price. It's a little bit high. I wish it were like a few dollars cheaper, then I'd be back a TON. It's just a bit of a delicacy at these prices. But it's well-done so I'll be back. Can't really get this anywhere else. I recommend the citrus marmalade dressing if you're going to have fruit in your salad. Very yummy and light and a perfect amount of sweet (not too much)! read more

Evergreens Salad - My custom salad with chicken, lots of veggies, some fruit, and the citrus marmalade dressing - AMAZING! - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Tasty salads, SLOW service - not a convenient lunch option. Just raised prices - new protein upcharge costs $3, so salads now cost ~$15 as they removed proteins from almost all salads. Being spoiled by sweetgreen's fresh salads + fast orders on the E. Coast, I was thrilled to discover Evergreens' salads, except staff is painfully slow and unconcerned with getting through orders. Came to pick up salads to-go with just one customer in line - waited nearly 10 minutes for two salads. Would hate to deal with wait times during lunch, as reviews mention online orders are ALSO slow - would avoid ordering in-person for lunch. read more

Great salads, but there's no way you can justify charging an extra $3 for a 1/4 cup of boiled chicken. It's exhausting that every restaurant in this area try's to scam their customers read more

So Evergreen's just completed their website and menu overhaul....for the worse. - my profile with all my payment info and preferred pick up locations no longer useable: really inconvenient - getting rid of the rewards program: not cool dudes - no more large size salads (at least online): wtf - CUTTING HALF YOUR SALAD MENU, INCLUDING THE DICE-DICE AKA BEST SALAD OF ALL TIME: unforgivable. Almost all salads with protein were cut from the menu and now require the $3 protein add for the tablespoon amount. It would now cost $15 to make the dice-dice from the build-your-own. And don't think you're fooling anybody with all the seasonals added to the menu being protein-free and needing to add it in to bring your salad to $12 pre-tax. Super bummed, since I loved it, but now will be looking for a new salad joint. read more

Assembly line-style quick serve salad place. This place gets a line at lunch time, but the team behind the counter moves you quickly. Look at the add-in options ahead of time so you are prepared! They put all your ingredients in a bowl and then dump it on a cutting board to chop it to bite-sized pieces before putting it back into a bowl to toss with dressing. Good option for a quick/healthy salad. read more

Evergreens is a super convenient lunch option thanks to their online ordering system. It gives you the ability to skip the line and go straight to the pick-up window when you're crunched for time and need to dash back to your desk. I'm not about waiting in lines, so they get an A+ here. Salads are decent sized and there's enough variety to make even the pickiest of eaters happy. Everything's fresh and made to order, so you can't beat that! read more

Cheap, tasty, and a huge salad that fills you up. I'm a fan. I need to go try some more options. It does have a fulfillment issue because the lines are super long. I wish they can get people through the line a little faster. Otherwise, it's a good spot for lunch. In the end tho, it's still salad. :) read more

For anything low to medium-priced, Evergreens is my absolute favorite chain in Seattle. Fresh, high-quality ingredients, interesting salad combinations, quick preparation, friendly workers, and absolute heaven for a vegetarian. A major bonus is the ability to customize in any way you want, for little or no cost. I've been excited to see Evergreens' growth and hope to see more locations here and around the country. read more

The best salad you can get, almost everything is complimentary, if you get everything in a medium size it gets big enough to go into a large, and they mix up the salad ingredients so well in front of you. I got quinoa as my base this time with kale and arugula, and it was a lot of food. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it to get more when I really don't need that much... But anyways, I got pretty much every vegetable offered, plus an egg, tofu, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, pepito, sliced almonds, the list could go on honestly, but I think the idea is conveyed- there's a lot of complimentary options. If I ever feel hungry but also healthy, this is my first go-to, but also I always regret coming here because I literally always get too much. If you have self control, and don't eat everything that is put in front of you, then this is a great place to go, 10/10 options, service, and though the line is usually long it does move pretty fast. read more

Great salads! Build your own if you like- I did and it was spicy but very tasty. I was happy I could get some kombucha as well . I'll be back for sure and am happy to recommend this place with happy and helpful employees. read more

Evergreens Salad - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love it here! This location gets pretty busy during the lunch time on weekdays since all of the buildings around here go on lunch around the same time. But the line does move pretty quickly and the employees seem to have a really good system of getting people movin along and then checking out! I love their selection of ingredients and the bread they have is so yummy! Its nice that they also have some popular salads premade on the shelf so that if youre in a rush u can just pop right in for a ready-made salad. My favorite salad is the spicy kale and caesar, they also ask if you want a whole scoop or not for some ingrediants like the jalapenos! read more

The line gets pretty long during regular lunch time, but moves relatively fast! Today I wanted to try the online ordering, but the pickup time was estimated to be 55min... so I returned to wait in the line and that took me less than 15min, plus I got to customize my El Sombrero a bit :) had El Sombrero twice this week, haven't gotten tired of it yet! read more

ordered online and really disappointing. Nothing is labeled vegan. Had no idea what dressing would work and everything came with cheese. Not vegan friendly despite what yelp says read more

I always love Evergreens, but this was my first time ordering from this exact one. It was such a pleasant experience. I ordered a salad for pick-up right before a small issue happened at work and I couldn't leave. Mari put it in the back fridge for me for about an hour or so and even said she would stay a little late so I could get it. Luckily I was able to make it there on time but I wanted to make sure I showed my appreciation for such amazing customer service! Thanks Mari! read more

Because of its positioning, this is basically an Amazon lunch line that also happens to be open to the general public. So, if you go at 12:15pm on a Wednesday, you'll be in said line -- out the door -- of Amazon employees. However, if you go at 4:00pm, there's like no one there. And you can build something really healthy and super delicious and filling. For what and where it is, it is not particularly expensive. This is what I get every time: - Kale and Quinoa - Avocado - A hard boiled egg - Beets - Apples - Walnuts, Pumpkin Seeds, Dried Cranberries - Cider dressing read more

Really good creative salads, but really expensive considering the size and portions. It gets really expensive when you start adding protein options. Cost an extra $3 for maybe a golfball size amount of chicken. Yikes. Line time can be long during lunch rush hour and runs out the door. Kept the rating at 4 stars though because the salads are fresh and tasty. read more

I loved this place when it first opened, good ingredients and variety. But now it's like they became too cool. Last time I went in for a salad, one guy told the other (quite loud) to reduce the amount of lettuce. I understand managing proportions but have a little decorum. I wanted a salad today around 3:30 so I looked online it said an hour and 15 minute wait for pickup. I decided to walk down to order real time. When I got there, there were no customers and 4 employees were standing around in the back area talking. They saw me but no one came over to help. In walked an employee from outside and asked if I had been helped, I said no, he said okay let me wash my hands and I will help you. I always order Cobb Your Enthusiasm as I did today. He proceeded to ask if I wanted chicken. Every Cobb salad I've ordered there before had chicken, so I said yes. He said now we charge an additional $3. That is roughly a ~20% price increase in the last few weeks. Really? $26 for two regular salads is a little much. Will be finding another healthy option in the future. read more

Used to go to Evergreens once a week, but lately every time I go, they skimp on the lettuce. I was willing to pay the $9 for a salad because of all the toppings they offer, but when you consistently fill the bowl 75% of the way, its not worth it anymore. read more

Evergreens Salad - Basically just got a lot of air :( - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My go-to salad is the sombrero salad and rarely do I venture out to try something else (unless its seasonal and sounds really good). Most of the time when I do end up here is when I'm at the end of taking my dog for a walk and want to grab something quick and healthy for dinner. Usually tie my dog out by the bike rack and I run inside, they know my order and already working on it. They are super friendly here and are super quick to get me out as soon as possible. I wish I had a photo of my dog who just sits there patiently while I get my salad, its pretty cute. read more
