    I was craving something light and healthy and after doing some research stumbled upon Sweet Leaf! I was so surprised by everything -- the extensive menu, the fresh ingredients, the friendly staff, and the central location. It was a great alternate to Chopt / Sweet Green and had comparable prices. The main difference was the freshness of the ingredients and all the different options! I highly recommend their smoothies and a byo salad.

    Chimichurri bowl

    Alright...I've walked by Sweet Leaf for 2 years and never thought to go in. My friend told me she heard that it was good, so we decided to try it for dinner and I am impressed! Great prices and great food. We both got the Chimichurri Grain Bowl and WOW. It was $14 for steak medallions, turmeric rice, avocado, roasted corn, tomato, cilantro, organic baby spinach, lime squeeze and chimichurri. There was a lot of steak and the avocado and little pieces of corn took this bowl to the next level. This would have been $25 anywhere else and it wouldn't have tasted as good. I can't believe I've been sleeping on this place! If I had to compare it to another place, I would say its like a mix of sweetgreen and cava, but healthier and with more options because they also have sandwiches, bowls and salads. This location has outdoor seating.

    There's certainly no shortage of fast casual salad, sandwich, and smoothie spots in the DMV, but Sweet Leaf still somehow manages to stand out as one of the best. It's ingredients are consistently fresh and high quality, without a single blemish to be seen. They have a great variety of toppings and protein choices, including roasted veggies, falafel, and tofu for my vegetarian friends. I'm extra particular, so I usually opt to build my own, but their pre-selected menu options are also delicious -- it's hard to turn down their falafel tzatziki bowl! If salads or grain bowls aren't your jam, you can always opt for something a little more handheld -- they have great sandwiches and smoothies (I can't say enough great things about their Berry Blanco or Very Verde). If you swing by for breakfast, you can grab their take on a harvest bowl or an extra fancy avocado toast. What really sets Sweet Leaf apart is it's consistency, high quality, fast and friendly service, and wide selection. If you're looking for a casual spot for a quick bite, definitely give Sweet Leaf a try!

    $8 for avocado toast with barely any avocado--just a few thin slices. Wild upcharge for what's basically a slice of bread for lunch.

    Sunrise Burrito

    Good service, solid breakfast burritos, and nice atmosphere inside. I stopped by on a weekday morning as the bagel shop nearby seemed to be pretty full. I decided to get the sunrise burrito, and it was quite flavorful. Not too large of a portion, but also worth the price in my opinion.

    Today was my first day entering this local in over 2 years and still the same. It was nice seeing some of the same old faces working here, staff always have been super friendly and sweet. From personal experience, this is hands down one of the best locations. The line is worth the wait.

    Stumbled upon this cute little place while staying in the area! Loved how it offers lots of customizable veggie/healthy options. You can create your own salad, grain bowl, or sandwich, add other protein or extra veggies, then top it off with a house-made dressing. They also have other preset bowls/sandwiches as well as smoothies. Not only do they have a good variety of vegetables to pick from, but also have a wide selection of cooked veggies and toppings for you add to your bowl such as grilled corn, roasted zucchini, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, tortilla chips, croutons, etc. Want to give a shoutout to their pesto vinaigrette cause it was SO bomb!! Loved how it was super basil-y and not too sour. They were also very generous with their steak pieces. Appreciate how they keep sustainability in mind and utilize compostable bowls and utensils. The store itself was pretty spacious with good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff were nice and patient with me being indecisive hahaha. If you're looking for a chill place with healthy options, I'd definitely recommend Sweet Leaf!

    Craft Salad
    Angela C.

    I think sweet leaf cafe might be my new favorite fast casual place. I ordered a craft your own salad with roasted veggies and it was so tasty and fresh. Would highly recommend for a quick, fresh and healthy meal. I ordered on the website and my salad was ready for pick up as soon as I got there.

    Delicious smoothies!

    Ordering online from Sweet Leaf requires an account set up, which requires a verification code that for some reason wasn't transmitting today (tried for 45 minutes). I called and Deeana was super helpful with a complicated order of salads, sandwiches, smoothies, etc. The order was ready when we arrived, is accurate, and Deeana was cheerful and an absolute pleasure. She welcomed everyone who walked in while we were there - so nice to meet such a positive person! Food is fresh and full of flavor. The salad dressings really stood out. We will definitely be back!

    Great fresh food! Super good! Great smoothies and salad. Enjoy the walk around area and shop.

    The falafel is dry and flavorless; the salads and bowls we had were so-so, and some came with only skimpy toppings.

About that $23 salad: The portion is a little skeet (that's an STL term - look it up) but the chicken was honestly juicy and flavorful as hell. And, the salad was full of very fresh spinach, and maybe other greens, as well as a good dressing. They provided a healthy amount of shaved Parmesan, which is my favorite. I would definitely order this again if I knew I was going to be around for a while and really wanted a salad. The vibe inside is so cute. This particular location is huge and there are various types of seating available. They have Wi-Fi, which is helpful., and some of their furniture is super comfy. It is the perfect place to connect or reconnect with a friend. I have never been much of a coffee shop, girl, but I could definitely see myself coming here multiple times a week. Service was good. I didn't interact with them much because all I did was order from a little QR code at my table and they dropped it off, but when observing them interacting with other customers, they seemed nice For the size of this place and people coming in and out, it was surprisingly clean, too.

    Sweetgreen is a quick salad place. You can order from the preset salad menu and customize however…read moreyou would like. Or, you can completely have one made with everything you want. They even ask if you want your dressing to be light, regular, or heavy. The staff was very energetic and provided quick service. All of the ingredients were out in display so you can actually see your salad options. The place was simple and clean. We ended up trying the BBQ Chicken Salad with a slice of bread. The salad is packed in a bowl with a lid. That bowl was surprisingly heavy. It was completely stuffed! There was just enough dressing to cover everything without being too much. And, the salad was pretty good. The price was very much on the expensive side, so that would probably deter us from going there over and over. But, a good place to have every now and then.

The Arlington one: Well, tonight, I ordered, they made my meals, but then couldn't get the registers to work. They didn't seem to be trying too hard. All the while, my salads were getting soggier. Finally I said I didn't have time for this (I didn't) and took the salads back out of my bag and left. What a waste. They could have just sent me home with the food (I spend enough there), since they were only going to throw it away.

You can get as much toppings as you want, either into a wrap, bowl, or salad. 10/10 recommend!! We also tried the cookies.
