    Strawberry Shaka
    Drianne B.

    On my way to the Cal Berkeley vs UCLA game we stopped here to grab a smoothie. Honestly it's not the type of place that would catch your eye but once inside you'll be glad you came. They have quite a selection of smoothies, fresh pressed juices and salads. If you're vegan or vegetarian or looking to eat healthier I would recommend giving this place a try. I'm not a big fan of smoothies that are yogurt or milk based so I was glad they offered options that didn't consist of either. I also prefer fresh squeezed juices as a base rather than from concentrate, they did not disappoint! There was no line when I arrived. They offer indoor and outdoor seating though there isn't much of a view aside from normal street traffic. I thought it was cool they had air plants and succulent beds in the windows. The decor is modest, tables are clean and they offer reusable utensils. As I only purchased smoothies, there were straws on the tables as well. We ordered two Dr. Green smoothies and one Strawberry Shaka to be split between the girls. Everyone enjoyed their smoothies. The smoothies were quite refreshing, smooth and tasted delicious. I only wish they were closer to where I live so that I may visit more often. The next time I'm in the area I will definitely stop by!

    The Tuna Avocado salad I had was great, I'll just lead with that!! They make the salad right in front of you, the place was empty when I came, so the service was quick. They gave me a lot of tuna, and it was very flavorful, I didn't even need to use the pesto dressing. They had outdoor seating, so I decided to eat here since it was a nice day. Everything tasted fresh, no doubt I would come here again!!

    Italiano Style Steak Salad

    I've only had one meal here so I can't say this is an accurate review of the whole place, but what I will review is the salad--I got an italiano. On first glance, it looked like a hefty amount, but I think the proportions are off because within just a few bites I was completely done with the meat and toppings and I was just left with green leaves with barely any dressing left. It's a little expensive for 95% leaves and 5% everything else I'll come back for the smoothies and sandwiches and see if I can change my mind

    Was looking for a nearby place where I could get a smoothie that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Organic Greens on Solano delivered! I got the Dr. Green smoothie and it was exactly what I wanted for a mid-afternoon pick me up. The smoothie was fresh, healthy, and affordable. I love getting smoothies but hate how expensive they can be. The Dr. Green was less than $8 The inside of the store is bright, clean, and comfortable. They also have a small outdoor section that's perfect for enjoying your food when the weather is nice. I didn't get any food but the salads looked delicious and much more affordable than places like Sweetgreen. I'll definitely be back to try those and their paninis soon! The service was quick and friendly and the quality of all the ingredients looked great, too!

    I'm just glad Organic Greens has arrived on Solano even if it isn't the complete menu, at least during their soft opening phase. Healthy options are good for those of us still struggling with innately indiscriminate palates. I really had a hankering for the Zucchini Noodles they serve at their Kittredge Street location but was bummed when I didn't see it on the overhead menu. After some major eye-darting, I settled on the $10.99 Arugula Princess Salad, which turned out to be a good-size bowl of fresh and mostly sweet ingredients. It was all tied together by the baby arugula and the strawberry vinaigrette. Strawberries, dried cranberries, goat cheese, and red beets were counterbalanced by marinated chickpeas, ground pistachios, and radish slices (photo: http://bit.ly/2NUJJLW). It worked. Somewhat bereft without a Coke Zero option on the premises, I went for a $5.99 Mason jar mug of The Beet Monster, a not overly sweet combination of beets, red grapes, apple, cucumber, mint, and ginger (photo: http://bit.ly/36IxpH0). I felt healthier already. FOOD - 4 stars...healthy ingredients with genuine flavor AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...typical looking eatery on Solano SERVICE - 3.5 stars...a bit uncertain but delivered the goods TOTAL - 4 stars...now if they add the zucchini noodles, well...

    Buffalo chicken salad and Vybes Hemp drink. Delish salad!
    Blair P.

    Organic. Flavorful. Satisfying. Nestled into a convenient corner of Solano you'll find the new Organic Greens. On the menu are smoothies, pressed juice, paninis, multiple signature salads, açaí bowls, wellness shots and a few dinner entrees. I came in for a late lunch and enjoyed the buffalo chicken salad. The buffalo flavor isn't spicy but rather wonderfully flavorful. A generous portion of dressing is mixed into the greens. Each ingredient tastes fresh. The Open sign wasn't on, but they were indeed open. I will return. Awesome salad.

    I love Organic Greens! I order food from here at least once a week for hikes, picnics, or when I want to treat myself to a healthy lunch in between zoom calls. I've tried most of their salads and sandwiches. My favorite salad right now is the Thai Girl Salad and favorite sandwich is the prosciutto-mozzarella panini (honorable mention of the chicken pesto sandwich too!). If you order the Kale Chicken Cesar ask them to go east on the dressing. They really drown the Cesar salad for some reason. Today I tried the Grains & Greens Chicken Salad and while it's heavy on cabbage, it worked for me because I like cabbage. Not a huge fan of the arugula salads: Italiano Style Steak Salad was okay; the arugula was too bitter because not much else is going on in that one. The Arugula Princess Salad was also okay but I probably won't get it again. I usually order on DoorDash and select the pick up option. Super fast and easy.

    Yum! I remember going to Brezo back when they were located at Point Richmond, and I've heard about…read moretheir move to Solano Ave for quite some time. Most recently I finally was able to give them a try. So glad we did! We came around lunch time and sat at a booth. There were other worker bees grabbing a quick lunch. The service was quick, efficient and friendly, and we ordered the French onion soup to start, and split the fried chicken sandwich and Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The sandwiches come with a side, so one plate we did fries with a house-made aioli and the other plate, their quinoa kale salad. Delicious. Such hearty portions! The bread is so fresh, the meat juicy and ample, and flavors just right. We also ordered beer on tap, shoutout to Oakland United, and tried their house-made hot sauce that they also sell by the bottle. Would love to come back to try brunch here too. I also saw a patron ordering the quinoa kale salad with fried chicken, and yes, that's the vibe! Pricing is fair for the quality and quantity, and street parking available (although the restaurant is located at the bottom of Solano where it tends to be a bit more busy). Women-owned biz, and they also were on Check Please! Bay Area.

    A true hidden gem right at the bottom of Solano Ave in Albany!…read more I'm embarrassed to admit that Picnic has been around for about 5 years in the east bay and I've just tried it for the first time this week. But I'm so glad I was finally introduced to it. The staff greet you promptly when you enter and you can even watch them work effortlessly together in the open prep-station behind the counter. They have a gorgeous display of deli items, wines, cheeses, cold sides, and even some cute candles & house made croutons. They've got everything you would need for an elevated picnic or even a barbecue with the family. They have an intriguing selection of house made sausages-- the Chicken Tikka Masala sausage caught my eye and I can't wait to try it. They also sell whole smoked quail that are seasoned heavily yet each bite has just the right amount of smokiness, spices, and salt. Their hot food items and sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch during your break from work or on your way home. There are also a few counter seats if you want to enjoy your meal there. So far I've tried the smoked quail, the Muffaletta sandwich, and their green lentil soup with chicken + veg. The sandwich was filled to the brim and each bite was a flavor bomb. The lentil soup was very comforting & paired well with the smoked quail. I'm looking forward to trying everything they have to offer.

    I really wanted to love this place. Very small and quirky, limited menu. I'm not really a "salad is…read morea meal" person, although my two best friends are. They were very happy with their arugula salads. I ordered the mac n cheese which was okay. Even though I grew up in El Cerrito, I sometimes feel like my NorCal green card has expired. I've lost touch with my small batch, organic self. (Although I have never liked arugula) This store is adorable and just the kind of independent neighborhood place that should be frequented and appreciated. Unfortunately I also had to use the bathroom and they don't have one for customers. So they recommended walking a block away to the BevMo. So I guess that added some negative feelings.

The fresh-squeezed mint lemonade was really good, especially for $5. The Arabian Nights cocktail was just okay, so I'd skip the alcohol next time. Of the four entrees we tried, the Maklouba (lamb) was the favorite overall. I personally loved the chicken kabob. The chicken couscous was also very good. The Samakeh (fish) was our least favorite--pretty bland and not very memorable. One thing I noticed was that the carb-to-protein portion felt a bit heavy. We had at least 1/3 of the rice/couscous left over, while all the protein was gone. Overall, a solid meal. I'd definitely come back for the Maklouba and chicken kabob!

I love a good self-serve water station, and they get extra points for having a delicious cucumber water! I was so impressed by the freshness and quality of the food, especially since everything was gluten free. My boyfriend and I both chose the "build your own bowl" option. In my bowl, I chose: - cauliflower rice - crispy chicken - charred broccoli - brussels sprouts - ponzu ginger sauce First of all, my bowl was phenomenal. Every single element was delicious and flavorful. I highly recommend everything I got. It was my perfect bowl! My boyfriend chose: - jasmine rice - paprika chicken - charred broccoli - chimichurri mushrooms - pickled onions - jalapeño lime dressing His bowl was also so delicious. I thought that the chicken tasted like a better, higher quality chipotle chicken. The ingredients were so fresh tasting, and the jalapeño lime dressing was so good. I also wanted to give their desserts a try, so we went with the dark chocolate chip cookie. This was the most "gluten free" tasting thing out of everything we got. The texture of the cookie was unlike normal cookies, but that didn't bother us much. The cookie itself was more on the "less-sweet" side, and was packed with rich dark chocolate. While not exactly my thing, it's worth a try for true dark chocolate lovers! Overall, I was so impressed by kitava. It is the perfect option when you want something healthy and fresh, but do not want to sacrifice flavor. I was absolutely be back!

At the 22 min mark, the two groups of two behind me got their food before I did, so I went up to the worker behind the bar and asked if my order was ready and I was told mine would be next. All in all- took 32 mins. So again, if you have somewhere to be- order ahead! Food was good. Could definitely tell it was made fresh to order - not only because it took some time but because my friend cauliflower came out PIPING hot.

BUT if you're in a pinch, either order online or maybe save this spot for when you have more time. Also- I know that good quality food is pricey, this place is no exception. But you pay for what you get and the quality is better than that of fast food.
