This would be 5 stars, but I'd hesitate to order delivery again. I ordered the Kale Cobb salad, and it arrived with no chicken. That's a quite a main ingredient to leave off, so made my salad sub-par. There's also doesn't seem to be a way to report this since I ordered through Yelp/GrubHub. read more

One of my favorite places to eat! Everytime I order the food is great I never have to worry about quality. They mixed my order up one time but fixed the situation the same day when I called them and was able to pick it up. Also, if you order ahead the food is always done in a timely manner. I love Sweet Leaf! If you are unsure what to get try the Chimichurri Steak Bowl, Sabroso Bowl, So Cali Sandwich, and or the Chicken Caesar Salad which are all amazing. Also the cookies are great! Thank me later. Oh back already? You're welcome read more

I stopped by on my way home from the metro and tried one of the salads (the one with avocado, pesto and chicken?) and it really didn't taste like anything but maybe I got the wrong thing and at least it looked healthy at least. I then got a fruit smoothie, which they told me to choose three of the four fruits they had on display to make it with. I chose orange, mango, and strawberry and it was a very interesting combination. I may have been better off just choosing one fruit or having them make a combination for me. It's a cute/hipster store but I didn't really like what I got. The service was really nice though! read more

I go here a lot as I work next door, but I'll be looking for a new place. I was really disappointed with the service. I walked in and one girl smiled to ackowledge me and then left to go to the back, but the guy behind to counter didn't even look up. There was only one guy in front of me and it looked like he'd only ordered a sandwich. I was standing there, ready to order for what felt like 10 minutes (it was probably closer to 6 or 7, but I'm annoyed right now.) And the guy didn't even look at me. No "I'll be right with you" no smile. Nothing. It was like I wasn't there. I'll be buying breakfast elsewhere thos morning and probably for a while until they train there staff on how to greet customers and manage expectations.

Ordered the San Remo salad and it way okay. I subsituted the provolone cheese with mozerella cheese and substituted sun-dried tomatoes with regular tomatoes. The pesto and avocado in the salad were good. The mozzarella cheese was fine, but certainly nothing special. Maybe I'll add balsamic vinigarette next time. I do like that they also have sandwiches, milkshakes, and soups here. I've had the chicken tortilla soup in the past which is quite good. The mint chocolate chip milkshake was also delicous. For salads, I still put Sweetgreen ahead of Sweet Leaf, but the variety of food at Sweet Leaf does add a different dimension which is positive. read more

Just great. High quality product and great selection. I LOVE the slice of bread. I really enjoy this salad each time I have it and I think all the locations are great. I think their shirts are witty and people are friendly. read more

Cute cafe with rustic decorations. Food is delicious and very fresh-- I got the Malibu melt (provolone, avocado, bacon); the egg was cooked to order and the avocado was sliced to order too. Workers are fast during the lunch rush. They have coffee and desserts too! read more

Sweet Leaf - Harvest Bowl - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I absolutely love this place! Must try if you haven't had it yet. I was put on by my Arlington buddies. -Mike B read more

This review is for the frozen yogurt. Sweetgreen no longer offers froyo and I believe this is the only cafe in the immediate area that offers up the soft serve. My office is located right next door, so its a very quick and casual stroll. The place is usually comfortably crowded around lunchtime, I try to satisfy my craving around 1:30/2pm when the place slows down. They have just one flavor, vanilla, but you can tell that the yogurt has live kefir cultures. It might be a little tart but you can add three toppings, I usually get granola, raspberries and mandarin orange. It's a healthier option to the gelato from the Pizza shop on the corner, and I love sneaking in some vitamins and protein every chance I get. I am a bit of a salad snob and prefer to make my own daily, but after looking at their ingredients, I must admit it was the freshest salad greens I have ever seen, fresher than Whole Foods. It would be great if they could offer a punch card or membership to discount weekly purchases. Also- the one thing I love is they offer online ordering for quick pickup. read more

We live in the neighborhood and went here for the first time for breakfast on a Sunday morning with our baby. Plenty of space and perfect for babies/kids. The breakfast options were tasty-sounding and healthy. I got the harvest bowl, which involves arugula, quinoa, avocado, pesto, and feta cheese,with an egg on top (I ordered an extra egg, and then added sriracha). Overall, loved the flavor combination (especially the pesto) but think it needed some sort of bread to go with it - even just one slice or a pita to go with it like they do at Chop't. My husband ordered the healthy start, which is a sandwich with egg whites, cheddar, spinach, and tomato. We both found it very bland (and adding sriracha still didn't help it much). Would not order this one again. The one major issue I had with Sweet Leaf was the drip coffee, which was incredibly watery. They use La Colombe coffee, which is great quality, but has no taste when made with too much water. I raised the issue with our cashier/server and he tasted it and agreed it was too watery and there was some kind of mistake. However, when he called over another lady to help him, she was pretty dismissive and told us that's how it's made and that the only thing she could do was add a shot of espresso to it. Given that that was our only option, we did that and it still tasted terrible. Overall, Sweet Leaf has a lot of potential to become my go-to breakfast spot in the neighborhood but definitely needs to up their coffee game! read more

I always either get Kale Kobb or Toki Bowl. Both so good. I do need to try some other items as they look really good but have a hard time not getting the 2 I love!! Service is always great, fast and friendly. read more

Mediocre. Either Chopt or the salad joint at MOM stores is a better choice. First, they do not chop it fine enough, with raw kale, the pieces are huge. Chopt is much better. Secondly, the free water they have is all from ice. I have seen people there dump buckets of ice in it and the water is just tap water frozen into ice cubes that melt. And it tastes the way tap water does. Contrast that with other salad joints that have much better, filtered water that actually tastes good instead of drinking melted ice. read more

I was hoping that they had more of a coffee selection. I got in late and needed a quick caffeine fix before heading out. The coffee was good, and the associate was friendly. Don't come here if you're looking for a fou fou coffee drink. read more

Now having tried many other menu options (Cali club, scottish sandwich, salads, etc) this place still holds strong. Always friendly staff, quick service, and tasty food. read more

Very chill atmosphere, usually quiet. Great selection of food, fresh ingredients. Definitely worth checking out. Ideal for studying/working. Go for the: - breakfast sandwiches, can't go wrong with 'healthy start' (egg white, mushrooms, spinach and swiss cheese) - ample seating read more

Cute sandwich and salad place. I've gotten the Malibu Melt for breakfast and made a custom salad for lunch. Overall, the food is good but nothing too special. This place has a very cute interior and is usually not crowded. I'd come here again to have some brunch and coffee with friends because of the great atmosphere. read more

Sweet Leaf - Cute decor - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I used to really like this place, but the quality has really gone down. I just ordered a Santa Fee salad and the avocado was absolutely disgusting and black. I could not even eat the salad because it looked so yucky. I tried to call and tell them and they did not seem to care at all. I just tossed it and ate the bag of chips. read more

Whenever I'm in Arlington I try to have lunch at Sweet Leaf. The salads are fresh and fantastic. I'm very partial to the San Marco salad and sandwich. The breads are delicious. The cookies are great. I wish this place were in NJ! If you can steer clear of the cookies, brownies and shakes, this is an easy spot to have delicious healthy food. Great lunch spot, ample seating. Line may be to the door, but it goes quickly. Order online to avoid the line. read more

This place is Horrible and disgusting. I ordered a salad yesterday and it had cockroach. I don't know if they are running out of business but please think twice before getting food from them! read more

I've been coming here for years. Still so good, but they never have a decaf coffee option - which stinks if you can't have caffeine. Also wish they had more toppings for frozen yogurt - usually just strawberries and blueberries. read more

So glad they are still open during all this! I ordered through ubereats on Tuesday when the weather was gross and loved it so much that I walked over today for lunch. They are only serving take-out now (which makes sense) but the place looked clean and cool. Will continue to order as long as they stay open through the pandemic, 10/10 recommend the chimichurri bowl and their milkshakes. read more

This place is dirty, and the salad was not washed, it had some kind of gritty material. The ingredients are at room temperature, so the food is in the danger zone all day. Would not go there, staff is a another issue. They dont listen to what your request is read more

it's reasonably priced food for healthier options. I will say the smoothies are somewhat disappointing and lacking in flavor. Ambiance is excellent though and overall we enjoyed our meal read more

Favorite thing is the sobroso bowl substituted with tofu instead of chicken! So so delicious. I really appreciate how we can add/substitute different ingredients. read more

I came here with one of my friends after another friend recommended this place to us. Located in Arlington, Sweet Leaf is a café that caters sandwiches, salads, wraps, coffee, ice cream, and a variety of other desserts. This place reminded me of Chopt or a healthier Subway. The decor was super cute and the café had a very cozy feel to it. I ordered the Tiki Thai, which was one of the vegetarian specialty salads they had. You can customize your own salad here as well, which is what my friend did. The prices here are cheap compared to other places in the area and the portions here are big for what you get. The salad I got had a lot of flavor, but it wasn't anything spectacular. We also got their froyo with the seasonal fruit toppings they had--mango, blackberry, and strawberry. It was pretty average, although I did kind of like the texture (it was kind of thick and creamy). My friend and I agreed that the mango had somewhat of an artificial taste. Service was decent but we had to wait a couple of minutes for someone to take our orders. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for something healthy. read more

Bought a Pear Brussels salad to go. Get home and they forgot the pears!! It's literally the name of the salad. How do you forget the main ingredient?? Ugh and I traveled half an hour for this. So disappointed. read more

I would have provided this place with a 5-star rating in the past, but today I went in and realized that they had taken out the tofu protein from their menu. To add insult to injury, they replaced the tofu option now with steak. That's practically a nice big F*you to vegetarians. This place use to be my favorite lunch place to go 3 to 4 times a week, especially because I thought they had a better quality tofu product than Sweetgreen. Now, however my options as a vegetarian has become seriously limited. I know people might say they have falafel as the alternative vegetarian option. The problem with that argument is that the nutritional value of falafel is more suspect because it tends to be lower in protein per serving and higher in fats and carbs. Also, tofu can work with a lot more options because it provides more texture than anything else. Falafel truly has to pair well with both flavor and texture. I think this is a serious misjudgment on Sweet Leaf's part. I'm also pretty sure that I'm not the only vegetarian who will feel betrayed by this move on their part. read more

This place is fantastic. Really fresh food, and it's always tasty. We've become regulars.

Eating food from here is like eating cardboard. It has absolutely no flavor. Some of the sandwiches are ok but nothing I've tried has been exciting to eat. Although it's healthy, I would still never order from here again because it tastes exactly how you think healthy food tastes. It taste like absolutely nothing. read more

Got to know this place when I stayed at the adjacent Marriott. Nice place, nice people, good food, reasonable prices, nice portions. I like the fact that if you omit an included item they offer to let you substitute. If this were a bit closer, I'd go more often. read more

stopped by for breakfast on a recent business trip because their website advertises vegan and vegetarian options. since all their breakfast burritos have egg, i asked to make my own burrito. began ordering and was immediately told quinoa would be extra (even though it's in other burritos). i thought the employee asked if i wanted the wrap heated and i said yes, but then saw her reaching for an egg and quickly said no egg. she had already cracked it onto the cooktop and proceeded to roll her eyes, swipe the egg off the cooktop, and slam the egg shells into the trash. i continued to add ingredients to the burrito, each time getting strange looks for my choices. when i asked for tofu, i was told it wasn't available this time of day. i opted for no sauce since i couldn't tell what was in any of them. seems like there are more options for vegans at lunch, but that hardly seems to warrant considering this place vegan friendly. my particular experience lacked any friendliness at all. clean and convenient place, but i won't be returning. read more

I normally try to brown bag my lunch for work everyday but I just had one of those nights were I didn't want to be bothered. I decided to try a salad shop for a healthy lunch and yelped this bad boy up. In theory it's a pretty simple concept and you can't go wrong but for something reason this became a fail. I make salads all the time and they come out crunchy, bright and full of flavor. After I selected my ingredients the salad was just bland, I don't know if it was who made it or what but it didn't taste like anything. That was the first time I felt like I was eating "bird food" and I loathe that term because I love salads. The establishment itself is nice and clean and there's plenty of seating. Unfortunatley I probably wouldn't come back :( read more

Once again , I enjoy eating fresh and having healthier options but I clearly can not support this establishment . Once again, I had another issue . I went in to get the sunrise burrito . I asked for egg white instead of the whole egg. The guy said no problem . I leave and he left off the meat. I called and the lady said "no problem " I could come get another one . I return the next to get my order made correctly . I politely told her the situation . She told me that I ordered Extra egg whites and that's why they left off the meat. I said what? That's not true and she began arguing with me when she didn't take the order. It was disappointing. I just left . Just a piece of advice , it doesn't take much to be kind and have good customer service . read more

Pretty disappointed in the Kabobi bowl, while it was very colorful and the kabobs were edible, the rest of the bowl was pretty bland and flavorless. Perhaps it needed the pepper sauce on top which I excluded, the creamy sauce was put on it though and while I saw it go on, I didn't taste anything. I've been preparing alot of paleo friendly meals at home so perhaps I've been spoiled and that probably explains why my stomach wasn't happy either. :( read more

Everything I have had here has been delicious and extremely reasonably priced. I absolutely love that they have breakfast all day. They also have a rewards program where you get $2 off every $25 you spend and can pay with their app instead of a card. read more

Meh. Part Panera, part Potbelly, part Sweet Green, this chimera of quick food outlets serves up a little bit of everything without any of the house made ingredients, offering the ambience of a harshly lit Starbucks (oh, they do coffee too) accentuated by the dulcet discord of a playlist picked by a likely brain damaged Applebee's hostess. Nothing wrong exactly with the place, but nothing stands out, either...like it tries too hard to walk a tightrope of broad-based appeal, succeeding largely in ambiguity and, "wait...where did I eat lunch today...?" read more

Love eating and studying at this place; however, I visited one Sunday when it was SUPER cold outside and the entire cafe was freezing! Other than that, love this place for lunch and for breakfast. read more
