This place is amazing!! I had a work catering event and found them through ezCater. We had a massive order and they did an amazing job. Everything was packed perfectly and the food??? We got absolutely rave reviews. Everything was super fresh and delicious and I cannot say enough positive things. I definitely want to go in person and eat one day, and try it but the catering was amazing. 10/10 read more

A little on the pricey side but overall a nice place for lunch. I found the bowl filling without leaving me with a sick "overdid-it" feeling afterwards. Definitely worth it! read more

Aight yalllll A group of us decided to order take out and the gals landed on homegrown. NGL foodie fam, I've never even heard of this place but sheeeesh I sure felt like I was at home as soon as I took my first bite of that bad boy. The homegirl rec'd the za'atar smashed chickpea sandwich. I was skeptical at first bc dawg... all veggies?! $15 for alllll veggies?! luckily they had an option to throw on some meats so I opted for their bacon ($4 more). The sandwich itself was pretty darn good fam. IMO only thing that coulda been better is if there was some spice or some kick to the flavor itself. Also... gd after fees and everything I spent $26 on a sandwich, which is insane but. Oh well. Worth it lmao. Go chance em read more

Homegrown - Whole Za'atar Smashed Chickpea - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mercer Island, Washington

This place is delicious and has some great vegetarian options! I split a za'atar spiced chickpea sandwich with a friend and it was perfect after a morning walk. Ingredients were fresh and delicious - could have been nice to have something spicy as well, but the bread and dressing/aioli were excellent. It is a little pricey overall for the portion size but it's nice to know ingredients are fresh and locally sourced. Will be coming back to try other options here when I can! read more

Homegrown - Whole Za'atar Smashed Chickpea - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mercer Island, Washington

Homegrown has good-quality ingredients, but the sandwiches are way overpriced for what you get. The bread was fresh, the veggies were crisp, and the meat was decent, but nothing about it stood out as worth the high price tag. The flavors were good but not amazing, and for the cost, I was expecting something more satisfying. The service was friendly, and the space was nice, but I can't justify spending this much on a sandwich when there are better options around read more

This location has improved significantly. It's a night and day difference. They now consistently get orders right and their sandwiches reflect the quality they are known for. read more

How careless can a restaurant be with their sanitation policies? Both hair and plastic inside an overcharged bowl is a double whammy I did not expect. Will not be returning back. Homegrown, do better before you catch a lawsuit. read more

AHHHH so gooddd! I got the pesto chicken sandwich and it made my day. To order I used the kiosk and it was super easy! They made the sandwich fairly fast and it was so good! The overall look of the place was so cute there was lots of seats and music in the background, and it wasn't that crowded or noisy. I definitely recommend!!!! read more

Homegrown is my go to when I have to select lunch options for others. Homegrown's menu is filled with nutritious variety, and classic lunch favorites that mostly everyone appreciates. I especially love how intentional Homegrown is about using local farm fresh ingredients. I was happy to learn about the catering options, and look forward to utilizing that service. This location gets really busy around lunch, be mindful prior to arrival. Wait, or no wait Homegrown is always great option, I highly recommend! read more

I've come here a handful of times, and while I haven't had the best experience, it definitely hasn't been as bad as others have reported. I do tend to forget it's even here, tbh. I've never had my order messed up like the other reviews, but the wait time for your food is always long -- at least 30 minutes every time I've ordered, which isn't ideal for lunch when you're in a rush. That being said, I think the food is really good, so if I'm not in a hurry, I'll definitely return. read more

I thought this place would be just ok and I was pleasantly surprised. Now I can see why some have lower reviews. I actually had 4 meals here. I had the turkey, bacon, avocado, with tomato soup with feta cheese which I thought was delicious. I had the matcha chicken avocado which was average. I wouldn't order a salad again from here as I don't feel it's worthy. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich was seriously good! Last I had the chicken cherry pecan which was good but I liked the turkey bacon avocado better. The breakfast sandwich was a 10. Each sandwich was put together well, loved the bread, the soup was hot and was tasty. I gave a 5 star because two of my meals were way over, one was good and the salad was good but a slight miss as there wasn't much there. Sandwich is the way to go here IMHO. read more

The Super fresh and super good. You will not be disappointed. This is my go to every time I come in town and taste is always the same. We definitely need one back in Ohio. My go to is the grass fed steak & blue combo and it's the perfect match of ingredients. The caramelized onions with the aioli and blue cheese truly makes this sandwich. And not to mention the ingredients are locally sourced. read more

Great options for vegetarians, I love the chickpea sandwich. Everything tasted fresh and was ready quickly. read more

COVID TIMES: no indoor dining at this time (November 2021) you can order online or DoorDash or in person. They have a self-service system to place your order, the team will help you to navigate the new system in case you don't know how to use it in a friendly way. They have the same menu alternatives as other homegrown locations: breakfast sandwiches and bowls. My favorite is the avo, egg and cheese with extra bacon -drooling here... You can get whole Sandwich or just half of it. For those for of you who have never been in one of their locations, they are sustainable sourced, super Greene, etc etc. They also have organic espressos and coffee but I honestly prefer coffee from their neighbors (L'experience) but if you're in a hurry Homegrown coffee is pretty decent. read more

Edit: We ordered Egg, Avocado & Cheese sandwich which had the perfect egg not very hard and not very soft and little running, just the way I like it. It has also comes with Habanero sauce which makes it little Spicy! Freshlicious! That's Fresh & Delicious We ordered the Chicken Pesto sandwich with the usual toppings and hot sauce. It was a delicious sandwich, the pesto and chicken was fresh and amazing! We also ordered the breakfast sandwich - Egg , Bacon & Cheese sandwich. I am not a Bacon fan but the sandwich had the right crispy Bacon. The egg was special too! Unlike the other Homegrown locations in Redmond & Kirkland, this has plenty of parking which is an added advantage! If you do an online order and have included ice cream. Make sure to ask for it as it will NOT be packed along with the online order and will be in the refrigerator read more

We enjoyed Avocado Macha Bowl and the pastrami sandwich. Both were delicious and perfect for sharing half of each with a friend. Thank you!

Homegrown is my go to when I am craving salads. The matcha avocado salad is my go to. They use a green goddess dressing that is amazing and the chicken breast is prepared to perfection (super moist, never dry). I am super picky about salads so im glad to have found a place that does it right! read more

COVID-19 take out: We pre-ordered our lunch online the night before and it was ready when it said it would be the next day! The menu wasn't that extensive, but if you like sandwiches or salads, you shpuld be able to find something. We got the Smoked Pastrami Sandwich, Spicy Braised Tofu Bowl, and the Sonoran Bowl with steak. All the portion sizes were pretty large and the food was very flavorful! I could've been full after half of the sandwich and would definitely recommend it! read more

Always consistent and great food. I like that you can order on a tablet at your own pace and select all of the options that you want or don't want. This place always leaves me very full but in a good way since it tastes healthy which is why I'd choose a place like this to begin with. I always choose the Matcha Chicken Avocado and it's great every time. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good healthy option. They also have indoor seating and all utensils are compostable. read more

So this is my partner's favorite sandwich place on the island, but ... I can't stand it. Every single time I go to get food here, it's either closed, or out of the mixed greens when I want a salad, or out of chicken, or something else. There's always a supply chain or staffing issue. The issue isn't with the servers (they're really nice) or the quality of the food (when they have it.) It's 100% supply chain and staffing. I won't eat here any more - I've had it. But the most recent time he was here, this week, at 1:30 pm the staff started flicking the lights on and off to get people to leave by 2pm (they close at 2, not 3pm as Yelp says.) He told me this humorously, but all I could think was "that's really, really not professional." Homegrown: please fix this. You have a great product, but the issues make it very difficult to actually enjoy your food. read more

Popular, fresh, clean. This place was delicious and price matched the quality for me! I was very impressed with the freshness and flavor of the sandwiches we ordered. If you're in the area and looking for a quick bite, you should definitely check out Homegrown. read more

Good fresh food. I went on a Sunday afternoon when it was busy but I got my food quickly. I appreciate that they offer half size sandwiches. I like the self order function. Nice staff. Compost bin. Chill music and vibe. Window seat. Great spot. read more

Bacon was raw in both the sandwiches and the bowls. Inedible raw. Yuck. Kids that work there are super slow and zombie like. Unfortunate. read more

Homegrown - Raw Bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mercer Island, Washington

Had their food before (to go) but this time we dined in. They have multiple locations. This one had a high ceiling with tables for two but you can move them together for bigger groups. Casual place. You place your order at the counter, find a table, and wait for your name to be called. Menu is simple but have enough variety. They offer 2 kinds of soup -- tomato bisque (yum!) and a seasonal one (Cauliflower when we visited). This location seems to get busy during lunch. We arrived just before the heavy lunch crowd and was able to find a table right away. The good thing was people dined and dashed so the wait wasn't long. We had the combo -- half a sandwich and cup of soup (tomato bisque). The tomato bisque hit the spot on a cold day! She had Turkey, Bacon, Avocado - I didn't get to taste it but by the way it was devoured, I'm guessing it was good. She said it went well with her hot chocolate. Smoked Pastrami but I switched the Pastrami with steak. It was yummy! The bread was nicely toasted and the caramelized onions were amazing! The steak was ample. They didn't skimp on it. I didn't taste the white cheddar but all in all it was delicious. I had a cappuccino, which was ok. This is a pricey place for what we had -- half a sandwich, cup of soup, and a hot drink. However they pride themselves in partnering with local farms and using organic ingredients. read more

Chad from Homegrown reached out to us afterwards. He apologized to us and even offered complimentary lunches to make it up. It showed the company cares about their customers. The sandwich I had was so much better than the original salad. Thanks again for taking care of us! read more

Freaking love Homegrown so much. Everything is always super good and fresh. Grabbed a half avocado, egg and cheese sammie and it was just perfect. Bread was soft, everything still piping hot and just mega delicious. Partner got the breakfast bowl and loved it. Everything we have ever gotten at this location is solid. Homegrown can never do any wrong. I think this location has some of the best customer service, despite being super busy. read more

Absolutely love the sandwiches and breakfast bowls. I was hesitant to try it when they came into South Center Mall, but they are near a place I started working. I hesitated because I haven't typically enjoyed quinoa and seems like they are in all their bowls and salads, but actually worked really well in their breakfast bowls. I also keep getting the hot pastrami because it's just freaking delicious. read more

The food and the concept are decent but I have a major issue with their consistency. I've ordered from Homegrown multiple times and the majority of the times my order arrives with missing items. This time I specifically indicated for my salad to not include bacon or chicken, but instead include tofu and avocado. I used all the right prompts to make my substitutions and paid extra for the ingredients. Yet my salad did not include the ingredients I paid extra for, and rather included the ingredients i have indicated to remove as I strictly do not eat bacon. Needless to say I paid for a meal I was not able to eat and again I did not have time during my lunch break to purchase a replacement meal. read more

We got lunch from Homegrown on Father's Day. It was very busy and the restaurant was packed. We picked up a few sandwiches and a Sunrise bowl. The sandwiches appeared normal without any issue. The Sunrise bowl was unfortunately smaller than any bowls we've ever purchased from Homegrown. Either the portion of their bowl is now 1/2 of what it used to be or that was partially eaten. It was an unpleasant experience. I hope they will find their way back to serving quality food as they had in the past. read more

The sandwiches at Homegrown are definitely top 3 east of Seattle. Only Deru in Kirkland compares. I've had pretty much every sandwich and all use great bread, sauce, and ingredients. read more

Wouldn't go back. Bacon and egg breakfast sandwich wet with grease for no reason. Bacon undercooked. Sauce wasn't spread throughout sandwich. The bread was decent but otherwise underwhelming. Staff were pleasant. read more

Have been a regular customer for years and chicken pesto tastes great. But recently at this branch they have reduced the amount of protein so much that you barely find chicken pieces in a "chicken sandwich"(picture attached). 3 times in a row this happened to me. I order pick up or delivery so did not get a chance to provide feedback at the restaurant. I ignored it the first 2 times as it could be one-offs but doesn't look like it. My friends experienced this too. I used to order from here often with COVID WFH situation as they advertise about sustainably sourced meat but now that they are doing this consistently, I'm not going to order from here. read more

Homegrown - Chicken (rather chickenless) pesto sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mercer Island, Washington

Great sandwiches when they're made fresh (as opposed to catered events). We consistently order the TBA and steak sandwiches which rarely disappoint. Not long ago, we also tried a couple of bowls to expand our repertoire. Not particularly hefty in terms of content but the prices were also not crazy. Sandwiches have now crossed the $15/$16 mark which is really getting up there IMO. We still enjoy a meal or two here whenever we happen to be on the island but not something we can afford on a regular basis (any longer) unfortunately. With tax and tip, our total for four people came to nearly $90 which only included two drinks and no sides (chips, salad, etc.). Workers at this location also don't seem too committed to quality or customer service. We still recommend this place to others but warn them of the steep prices. read more

I've only had the breakfast sandwich here so far, but it is hands down one of the best in the city. Great flavor and execution. The ciabatta roll is incredibly fresh and soft. It always hits the spot, it's really nice that they don't skimp on eggs either. I'm so tired of the restaurants in Seattle that charge $15+ for a one-egg sandwich. It's nuts, so I'm very glad I found this spot. I'm looking forward to trying their sunrise bowl. read more

I was just in there and you guys were not busy AT ALL!!! The lid was not on on soup in my to-go order, and the whole bag fell apart and the sandwiches were ruined. Not to mention my clothes and my car! I wouldn't have left this review if I could've directly called your local restaurant!! This wasn't a cheap order either! Also, I think it's nonsense that customers can't call you when you mess up an order. read more

Homegrown - The lid was not on the soup in my to-go order! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mercer Island, Washington

The pros: yummy food, good beverage & food options, vegetarian friendly, and nice staff The cons: bad ventilation! It seemed smoky in there and I could feel my allergies acting up. My friend needed her asthma inhaler. I'm concerned about the staff's exposure to particulates. I recommend getting your food to go, or sitting outside or near the door. The bathroom also wasn't very clean which never feels like a good sign. Everything was packed as take out even if you are eating there. That seems wasteful. Neutral: You place your order by making your selections on a screen and pay by tapping your credit card or app. Your name is called when your food is ready and you pick it up at the counter. read more

Homegrown is one of my favorites for a quick lunch or ordering meals for a meeting at the office! The Mercer Island location offers a menu with some great variety of options.Finding parking and seating at the restaurant can be tough during lunch hours, but their service is still pretty quick. I have gone in there a few times to order about 20 sandwiches and bowls, and it has never been an issue. My favorite sandwiches are the broccoli melt and smashed chickpea. Both are very flavorful which I find isn't typical for assembly-line made vegetarian sandwiches. read more

Homegrown - Broccoli Melt - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mercer Island, Washington

Love their sandwiches but COVID seems to have scrambled the staff's brains into not understanding how to make sandwiches. The service is really questionable and painful to watch as they're glacially slow putting your order together. Definitely give them a try and enjoy their delicious sandwiches but don't be in a rush or try to use their bizarre cashier-less order system. read more

Update: Appreciate that the manager took the time to reach out and ask for feedback. Came back the following week around the same time to a different crew. I had a great experience and the guy working was super friendly, quick, and made a point to ask how my day was going. The food is still awesome, the location is great, store is clean. But I love how there has been an immediate shift in customer service for the better! Original review: I love Homegrown, but this location isn't one of my favorites. I lived on the Island for many years and was thrilled when they finally opened one near my home. The location is super convenient, spacious, outdoor seating. But the service has never been anything out of this world. Lots of younger kids working here, especially in the summer. So the service isn't very consistent. I love their menu. Especially their two fried egg bowl for brekkie! Prices are decent. $10-14 and the portions are good but not overwhelming. Good quality products utilized, especially love having perfectly ripe avocados with my eggs! Really only downfall is the service, which I hope eventually gets sorted. read more

Do you want a killer sandwich? It's greasy and a 1000 plus calories and soooooo good! It's the Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on the breakfast menu. The flavors are simply devine. Ok, if you don't want to kill yourself, there are plenty of other healthier options such as the smashed chickpea sandwich. Either way, it's all tasty. Oh yeah, they have an espresso machine; as well as a plethora of flavored waters. Great place! Enjoy Let me know what you think. read more
