Greenleaf Nachos
Mecca B.

Was driving through the area and wanted some yummy and healthy food. I searched Yelp for a healthy option and right off the freeway as Greenleaf! I got so lucky. I pre-ordered on their website so the food was ready when I arrived. It only took 15 minutes for my two taco orders and my nacho orders to be ready. It is in a very cute shopping center. It looks like it's high-end furniture that's being sold there. Easy parking! Tons of seating inside and if you wanna enjoy outside, there's tons of seating as well. I actually didn't sit at the restaurant, but I sat in the garden area where there's a ton of open seats for anyone to sit at. I enjoyed the waterfall, people watching, and most importantly, the sun! I made sure to order the chicken Tinga for both my taco and nachos because that's what the yelp review says we're really good. The nachos were really yummy and crispy. They left the cover open a little bit so we wouldn't get too saggy which was a really good call.

Front area where you order.

Food was pretty tasty, I got a kale salad with quinoa and it was quite good. The Buffalo cauliflower did not taste too delicious and it was a fairly small portion but not too bad. Atmosphere inside is nice. Parking can be quite challenging in the evening with all the other restaurants. Overall a good spot I may or may not come back.

Superfood Matcha Latte with Oat Milk
Angelina C.

Food was really good, fresh ingredients and very visually appealing. I ordered 2 tacos & avocado toast and matcha latte to drink. But the patio seating was the cherry on top, so peaceful and serene. Definitely a hidden secret. Service was also good, you order at the counter and they bring it to your table.

Nice spot with great patio seating near large fountain! Small menu of shareables, entrees and some alcoholic drinks. Unfortunately they were out of Aperol and mimosas. some vegetarian options as weep and overall food was good. FYI, you order at counter and food is brought to you inside or out. Small selection of wine and beer available.

Chop Chop Salad

This is only for Costa Mesa location. I wrote a review about 8 months ago sharing my disappointment in the quality here--especially with the Chop Chop salad. I decided to give it another try today, hoping it had improved, but unfortunately it hasn't. The salad still does not include garbanzo beans or the pepperoni blend, and it barely has any red onions. It's really disappointing that the Costa Mesa kitchen version of Greenleaf doesn't live up to the standard. I also don't think it's fair to advertise the salad with all of the listed ingredients when they aren't actually included. Only writing a review because I really hope the quality can improve so I can get my yummy salad again!

JON'S STEAK & KALE SALAD
Mindy L.

Order & Pay At The Counter. Given A Table Number Holder. Pick A Table Inside Or Outside. Friendly & Attentive Service. I Was Looking Forward To Trying An Iced Turmeric Latte. None Of The Lattes Were Available @ 11am. Disappointed!! I Tried 'Jon's Steak & Kale Salad. I Asked For Medium Rare Steak & It Looked Well-Done.

For a fresh salad, a great choice. Nice amount of ingredients- not just a bunch of lettuce and dressing. Service was also good:)

This is the La La bowl
Irma Patricia B.

I ordered lunch from this place, it came up as recommended when I logged onto Uber Eats and searched for something healthy to eat today for lunch. When I browsed the menu I saw the cute name, La La bowl and the ingredients and description looked great. I'm a big fan of black beans so I was excited for my bowl! You can add chicken or shrimp, it doesn't usually come with a protein option, it's 5 dollars extra for chicken, not sure how much for shrimp. I also got me a lemonade to go with my bowl. It arrived beautifully packaged, I was very impressed and ate most of it right away saving the rest for later. It was amazing, I loved the spicy dressing it came with too! You can tell that the vegetables and products used to make this were fresh and good quality max the cook took his time in making it oh so perfect. It cured my hunger and tastes really good! The lemonade was great too. Thank you!

305 bowl in front, side of fries in middle, Cabo kale salad with chicken
Spencer S.

Part of the SOCO shopping center. Indoor and outdoor seating. Dog and kid friendly. Casual atmosphere. Order at the register, they give you a number, and bring your order to you. Fast and friendly service. As of July 2023, the following cost around $45 with tax and small tip: cabo kale salad with chicken, 305 bowl (carnitas, avocado, rice, beans, pineapple, other veggies, salsa, corn tortillas), and side of fries. I'd argue a bit on the pricey side for a non-sitdown restaurant, but such is life these days. Everything was great, and good-sized portions! More than enough for two people, even though we were also sharing with a hungry baby.

Pesto Chicken Panini

This places had a lot of delicious sandwiches and salads here. The service was friendly and nice . It's in a nice quiet area which is nice. I've previously DoorDash from my house from greenleaf and decided to give this place a try at the restaurant

Another friend ordered the breakfast burrito, which was also big and packed with bacon crumbles and egg. It looked really good, too. I've eaten a LOT of breakfast burritos over the past couple of weeks, though, so I wasn't overly interested. I ordered the corned beef hash with hash browns and two eggs. It was really good! The hash was homemade, so it wasn't overly salty, which I loved. Didn't take pictures of our food... we were hungry! Highly recommend this spot. The portions are big, the food is delicious, our server was so friendly and nice, and we really enjoyed the whole vibe. Definitely feels like a fun local place to grab a good breakfast after a morning surf! ‍

Busy Saturday at peak brunch time, but we were greeted and seated quickly…read more The environment was casual-chic with a focus on chickens (eggs?), and the space was well laid out and easily navigable. The food was excellent. We had the protein omelette and the breakfast burrito. The protein omelette was strong, and the Jurassic pork (sweet and savory seasoned bacon) stole the show there. Toast and fruit was well made and fresh. The burrito was where things went to the next level. Steak AND bacon in a burrito in this economy? Unbelievable. It was so rich and heavy I almost couldn't finish it. They didn't overcompensate for a lack of meat and eggs with a bunch of potatoes. The whole burrito was well balanced in that respect. The beans were excellent, and the cherry on top was the fresh made red chile salsa. It tied the whole experience together perfectly. Finally, the coffee was excellent as well, the only caveat being that we actually got our food before our coffee (only one barista was behind the bar and she was pretty backed up). Wonderful brunch experience, I will be back.

Pretty substantial and filling. Rooster Flight - the menu says choose any 3 french toast or pancakes. But you can't choose any limited-time special pancakes, so just mix and match from the regular menu. I got the brioche French toast, which was buttery. The Churro Pancake was a heavy dose of cinnamon sugar, fair warning. I liked the Strawberry Cheesecake Pancake with the cheesecake cream, graham cracker crumbs, and macerated strawberries. Portions are fine for two people. For each flight sold, $1 goes towards their parent company's nonprofit Rise & Shine. Prepare to wait if you go on a weekend. But it was nice sitting on the patio and enjoying brunch on a sunny Saturday.

Plates and portions were huge and very shareable. The drink menu looked phenomenal as well.

The eggs Benedict were so good, and as a table we shared the cinnamon roll.
