My husband was craving lunch and specifically asked for the caramelized garlic steak from…read moreSweetgreen, so I made a quick stop to grab it for him, and I'm glad I did! This downtown location is super convenient. They have a small parking area where you can park for free for a limited time, which is a big plus. Otherwise, you'd have to rely on street parking. I came right around lunchtime and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't busy at all. I love having no line, quick service, and I was helped immediately. The worker was friendly and walked me through a couple options, like choosing the dressing amount and whether I wanted the bowl tossed. Nice little touch of customization. I also noticed they were offering $5 off if you join their rewards program, so of course I signed up real quick at checkout, I love a good deal! The caramelized garlic steak bowl was a hit. It was a generous portion, fresh, and flavorful. I ended up sharing it with my husband when I dropped it off at his job, and it honestly filled us both up. Inside, the vibe is very chill and clean, perfect for a quick bite. They also have outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your meal outside, but this time we went with takeout. I love that they have fresh ingredients, good portion sizes, and quick, easy service. It's definitely a go-to when you want something healthier but still satisfying.

I personally thought it was more of a healthy food store so I was a little bit reluctant to go inside but a friend and I met up and went for dinner. I arrived and was greeted by Da'Shawn who was behind the counter and he had great energy (along with his fellow coworkers) and was very helpful when choosing my ingredients for my build-your-own-bowl. I ended up doing a mixture of rice/spring mix lettuce for the base, chicken, tomato's, sweet potatoes, broccoli and a hint of blue cheese. I topped it off with a drizzle of their Thai vinaigrette. I also had to get a banana & strawberry smoothie which was so good and not watery. 10/10.

I went with the Shroomami: It's packed with organic wild rice, shredded kale, raw beets, cucumbers, and basil. The warm portobello mix and roasted sesame tofu provide such a satisfying, meaty texture. What really ties it all together is the miso sesame ginger dressing. The spicy sunflower seeds give it the perfect crunch in every bite. I ordered an extra dressing because the kale is so dense. This is a great spot for something healthy that doesn't leave you feeling weighed down afterwards.

So I sent an email and I also sent a message on their contact us page on the website. No one has responded and it's been almost a week! It's disappointing because we've eaten there in the past and enjoyed it but their customer service this time has been terrible!

Again, what I had was good but there's a better option a mile away

I alerted the first employee to my allergies- they immediately found me an allergen menu, assigned someone to me who didn't touch anyone else's bowl through the entire line, and that person changed their gloves immediately so that there wasn't any cross-contamination. I wish I could remember their names- they were all SO kind and polite. The counter was so clean, the food was very fresh, and it was being changed out frequently. The portions were generous, and the food was delicious! No one gave me a side-eye for having my service dog. It was such a wonderful, welcoming experience!

We didn't ve ire outside but I'm told that the patio is also a lot of fun so we hope to return and meet friends there. It did have limited parking but street parking was available. The entrance was fairly easy to navigate and staff met us as soon as we entered to lead us along to a great table. Not super loud but also some noise so it felt like you were in a fun space with friends. A great spot for gathering!

All the times I've gathered here (hehe), I've always had a really nice time. The ambiance is…read moreimmaculate, feeling very cozy and clean and natural. I enjoyed the outdoor and coveted patios the most, they're dog friendly! On top of that, they have a monthly puppy party on their patio, inviting friendly dogs on leashes along with treat vendors. Food here is always really tasty. I've usually come by for brunch but most recently I came back for dinner. The Roman style Sunset Pizza is incredible. The prosciutto on top gets nice and crispy, and the balsamic and arugula help the meal feel more elevated. They also have brunch style pizzas. In my opinion, the coffee bar is absolutely worth a stop if you're in the area but don't have the time for a sit down meal. It's always delicious and they have great seasonal flavors. The disclaimers: the mulch area of the outdoor patio is usually self service, so you will need to order at the bar. Parking is also limited in their lot, so be courteous if parking in neighborhood streets!

Crazy good brunch spot with a full bar and inventive menu. Found on Yelp for Sunday morning. Glad…read morewe popped in early ~9:45a. The place was packed just after we were sat at a high top along the front windows. High-ceiling space with an industrial vibe. It is a very inclusive establishment with gender neutral bathrooms Service was very nice and on top of her tables. We couldn't decide on which four juices to try in a flight so we ordered two flights to cover all 8. Great choice too. I had the pork belly Benedict. Filling plate with just the right amount of heat in the hollandaise. The collars were braised and some were crispy that added a depth of flavor and texture to a bite. Hubs had the blueberry hot cakes. These are not pancakes. It's like cornbread with blueberries without the corn. Delicious though. Bill was reasonable for what it was. Highly recommended for brunch.

My only suggestion would be to add a couple umbrellas to the patio. It gets very sunny out there, especially with the sun reflecting off the white tables, so a little extra shade would make outdoor brunch even better. Overall one of my favorite spots in the city!

It was fresh, flavorful. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, and the patio made for a great place to spend the evening. It's one of those spots that's just as much about the experience as it is the food, which is why I keep coming back.

Summary: Cunningham Group's successful take on a VERY family…read morefriendly restaurant at pretty decent prices. Delicious and fresh food, so much fun for the kids, and service was good but a little slow. Only downside is the location. Area is pretty worn down. Food: The pizza is delicious and fresh. Nice chew, a little bit crisp and the great smell of freshly dough. We got the sausage and pepperoni; sausage was better but both were good. The breadsticks were hot and delicious. A little soggy with butter but I mean.. it's butter. Is that bad? Dipping cheese was better than your standard stadium nacho cheese. Chopped salad was very fresh. Not the most interesting but still good. Hot Honey chicken wings were clearly freshly battered and fried. Incredible. Very similar to Korean Fried Chicken. Alcohol: Beer and wine option were good. Could use a couple more wine options. Beer and wine had a great range of styles and prices. Bar looked very well stocked for mixed drinks or drinking neat. Service: Staff was kind and helpful. They could have been slightly more available. The food did take a while longer than I would have expected for it not being that busy. But with how fresh it was, I'm sure it's because they were making it fresh. Ambiance: Tons of space. Ultra family friendly. Board games, yard games, ping pong, fire pits. Awesome! Train tracks across the parking lot were a fun side benefit. Kids loved watching the trains go by. Drinking out of plastic cups wasn't my favorite but I understand why. Location: Next to North Mass Boulder. Not a great part of town but felt safe once you're there. Final thoughts: If you're downtown and have kids, you gotta stop here especially if it's nice outside.

The parking lot was not a lot of spaces due to this business sharing parking with other businesses. We lucked up and were able to find two spots but if not we would've had to park further away from the building. Once we got inside the building, it was a lot of people in there. You could tell that a lot of people do order ahead at this location because it was very packed on the order ahead side. Once it was my turn to order I was able to create my own bowl which is what I typically always do. I did not like that they did not have pickled onions because I really love putting these in my bowls. I wasn't sure if they just did not have them out and did not want to put them out due to it being busy. The worker did not explain she just said we don't have any but I could see the spot where they would be at if they had them. I have this new love for pickled onions which is why I really wanted them ughhh. Once I got done before I paid for my order I made sure they scanned my reward app so that I can collect points. The rewards program is very beneficial because you can earn different items for free, which is great. Who doesn't love free stuff.? We had wanted to eat outside but they only had about 4 tables out there and all of them were taken. So instead, we had to sit inside the restaurant to eat which space was very limited in there. We were able to find seating. It was very cold inside there after sitting for a while. While eating we had to use the restroom. In order to utilize the restroom you have to have the bathroom code which we had to ask for they were very nice and gave us the bathroom code so that we could utilize the restroom.
