I'm sorry, but something has been going on with this location recently. I can't remember the last time I received my order without missing a ket ingredient. This most recent time I was missing one of my main base ingredients (quinoa), and last time I was missing my protein (tofu). Whenever I go in there in person, it always seems like they are behind and understaffed. I'm writing this with the hopes that whoever owns this particular franchise knows that some major improvements need to be made. I used to love ordering from here, but now I feel like I shouldn't anymore. read more

Dellllishhh! Great speedy service. They were accommodating to my peanut allergy and were not shy with the portions. Great spot if you're looking for something quick and healthy! read more

I was originally introduced to the chain while doing an internship in Washington DC, and decided to give this place a try again while walking past the restaurant during a stroll around the area. My go to is the Harvest Bowl; the texture of the apple chunks add a satisfying textural crunch to the meal. Definitely a spot that I have visited on several occastions, the interior space is re-open again (was closed during the pandemic). I did recently go this past week and the size of the bowl is considerably smaller (maybe like 25%); I was informed that less content is being provided because of issues with their supply chain. The cheese was also not broken up and not distributed throughout the bowl, a large glob was just tossed on top of the greens... With that said, I still enjoyed the salad overall; however, I might take a temporary pause since we are getting less for a similar cost. read more

Service is okay- lot of college kids so I usually order online but the staff is kind. There's a cute little patio outside and some seating inside with lots of bright natural light. Food is fresh and tasty- this location serves much more generous portions than the Oakland location so I'd recommend this one. My go to salad is the harvest bowl- can't miss! read more

I'd been eating sorta unhealthy lately so decided to get some Sweetgreen with a friend. I had heard a lot about it so I was quite excited to finally give it a try. As it was my first time, I forgot that you can only order via the app, so had to wait outside for 20ish minutes before my order was ready. Ended up getting the Miso Salmon grain bowl. Overall, good combination of ingredients that tied well together with the miso sauce. My favorite part was the sweet potato chunks and the salmon of course. I thought the pricing was definitely on the higher end, so I would t come here super often. Only when I want a treat. read more

Underwhelming, and the salad seemed old. It was pretty pricey as well and the quality didn't live up to it.

Don't go here! Order completely wrong and they don't answer the phone. 20$ for the wrong order. read more

Terrible service here , let me be clear. Not due to the employees but the understaff combined to the overwhelming amount of orders plus online and DoorDash. Drives everyone nuts here. Plates made however and with whatever is left. Poor dashers watiimg for an unreasonable time This restaurant is a complete disaster. Ownership should really consider staff accordingly. read more

sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls - What a mess. Plates everywhere even on top of counter ! Quite unsanitary - Salad Near Me - Berkeley, California

Ordered from doordash, and my dasher had to wait 1 full hour before getting the order. I felt so bad for her!

I ordered the green goddess salad. I submitted my order at 12:22pm. I got an eta of 12:45pm. I get there at 12:47pm it says it's still being prepared. It is really busy and people are coming in and asking where are there orders. It is 1:05pm now I ask where is my order. The gentleman I asked is looking around when another guys says I'm looking my order so now he looks for the other guys order. He finds his order and hands it to him. He comes back to me cannot find my order but finds my receipt. He starts making my order and asks what's inside a germ goddess. I can't remember every ingredient but I'm sure there isn't tomatoes and he gives me too much of it. I try to understand that it was a very busy time but to be so late on my order and screw that up and barely gave me anything else but made sure I got too much tomatoes even though this isn't in the order was very disappointing. He should have asked another staff if he wasn't sure how to make it. Also if you see many customers waiting around for their order the staff might want to ask people that they seen sitting there for half an hour if they can help them. Because there's only a few people getting in line to order in the store. There were about 80% of people waiting for their online orders. My lunch is only 30 mins and I spent that whole time waiting on my order and then some. Just please try to improve the customer service. read more

Apparently this location OPENS at 10am. I was there at 10am and couldn't order any salad with meat because it wasn't cooked. Nothing was prepared and I missed my lunch break waiting to order. Hearst and Shattuck in Berkeley, you should consider opening later or prepping food BEFORE OPENING. read more

I ordered the steakhouse chopped and added chicken to it to have both meats and when it got delivered it was only chicken. I'm so pissed that's all I wanted was steak mainly. I left a bad review on the sweet green DoorDash. Paid all of this money for the connivence and still didn't get what I mainly wanted. read more

** The following review reflects my delivery experience DURING the shelter-in-place order currently in effect. ** Wow, I had no idea they had grown to nearly a hundred locations over twelve years. Perhaps they should hire Annie Lennox to sing... "sweetgreens are made of this...who am I to disagree?" Man, they should hire me for their marketing. Anyhow, I was familiar with sweetgreen from the SoMa location in the city but had yet to try it at this Berkeley corner spot. Probably because there are so many build-a-bowl eateries in the vicinity or maybe because this space will always be Oscar's to me, the greasiest burger grill in town. Well, I still haven't made it in there as we are all still in lockdown, but I found it on Grubhub for delivery one particularly lazy evening. Jamie W. decided on the $13.25 Buffalo Chicken Bowl. At 440 calories, it was a smart move as it consisted of blackened chicken, a mix of pickled carrots and celery, tomatoes, cilantro, blue cheese, za'atar breadcrumbs, shredded kale, and chopped romaine, along with sides of sweetgreen hot sauce and caesar dressing (photo: https://bit.ly/2DdcTnU). It blended very well together. Mine was not quite as satisfying, the $13.75 Chicken Chimichurri Plate at a whopping 660 calories. The centerpiece was a pair of whole chicken thighs, somewhat overcooked, over hot roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, the same mix of pickled carrots and celery, cilantro, feta cheese, and cauliflower rice, with a side of chimichurri sauce to give the dish its name (photo: https://bit.ly/2DpNveE). I was hungry, so I'm not complaining, but I should admit this was my second attempt at a sweetgreen order, as the first was canceled after the Grubhub driver was dispatched and waiting for our food. This time, we had a minor hiccup in that they cancelled our order of the $3.95 Cauli Rice + Beans without forewarning either. No big but still... FOOD - 4 stars...the bowls are better than the plates but sweetgreens are made of this AMBIANCE - n/a...this was a delivery but c'mon, it'll always be Oscar's to me SERVICE - 3 stars...a bit of a demerit here...these are hard times, I know, but seems like they need to sync up capacity with availability more than they do now TOTAL - 4 stars...

I love their food so much. But you can't reach them on the phone. You literally cannot order anything from Berkeley on your iPhone, you have to be on a computer! When you get on their site, it's constantly going down with a "no online ordering available" message. Total mess. C'mon, I am TRYING to throw money at you. Help me help you. read more

Showed up to have lunch and they apparently Won't allow you to eat there... had to order online and pickup food and couldn't eat there. It was pretty frustrating this isn't noted online?! Also why are you still closed like this?! I also hate to order online because it's always smaller then when you order in store and salad was smaller read more

This is the only thing keeping me semi-healthy during quarantine. I nearly forgot how good vegetables taste. I had a smooth ordering experience on their website, for delivery. The food was quickly prepared, but it did take up to 10min to have a courier pick it up. Custom salad: This was surprisingly good and the portions were generous. There's not much you can say about a salad, but the sad small slices of bread I got for this was very dry and hard. It could have been bc I ordered it towards closing time. Harvest Bowl: Absolutely amazing. The warm bowl was so hearty and filling. Everything just balanced out (sweet potato, goat cheese, raw beets, apple, roasted chicken, kale, and red grain rice). The bread was fresh this time! Overall, eating here often can be expensive. But , when you just want to kick back with some greens and grains-- this is it. read more

I've tried this place a handful of times and always enjoy it. Either a warm bowl or a cold bowl, its all really good. It's the perfect place to grab some food and take it a local park and have a picnic. Plus you know you're eating a very nutrient dense meal that hits all the macros. If that's what you're into. I just like fresh, delicious food. The staff are always friendly and helpful with any questions. I've asked them what they like and get some good recommendations that way. read more

I come here all the time but yesterday I had the best experience possible here! Isaiah is the best ever!!!! He was so sweet, and made sure my order was put together perfectly!!! I love the food, but the customer service keeps me coming back! Thank you again Isaiah!! read more

You cannot stop by and eat. You have to place the order online with their not friendly user web site. This is bad, very bad for a business. This is our second time we still cannot stop by and eat here. Don't come here to eat, you have to ho through a lot to have your good. Go somewhere else that you can get your food with in reasonable way and time. read more

Love the vibe and business model but food was 3/5. I know I'm going to sound like a total snob when I say this but if I'm paying $14 for a salad, I expect my kale to be more massaged or at least for thicker stems to be thrown out. The kale in my salad totally threw off the texture for me (I got the harvest bowl). Secondly, if they are going to mix my salad, why not mix it well? Why am I paying $14 to find a huge clump of rice pilaf at the bottom, and then eat basically all the cheese in another bite, and discover only one part of my salad to have dressing? I rather that they just put everything into little sections and I mix it myself than fake-mixing my salad for me. The salad in and of itself was not bad though I felt that it was a little dry and heavy with the carbs and could have used more veggies (since the kale was :|) and maybe I should have added more vinaigrette to satisfy the acidic element that it lacked (maybe not enough cheese or sour apple since apple was v sweet). Maybe next time I'll try something else or build my own salad. read more

A fresh and healthy salad spot! It was a bit hard to find parking, but they do have a tiny parking lot right behind the store. Unfortunately their dine-in area was close when I visited (4:30pm), so we could only do the take out option. They do not take cash and you can only order through their app! I ordered the fish taco bowl, which had arugula as the base. I was not a fan of arugula before I tried this salad. They also have a custom option, so you can build your own salad. It can get pretty expensive, depending how much you add into your salad, but it was a very filling meal. read more

I've been ordering from this location weekly - sometimes daily and something has gone seriously downhill in the last month. The salad portions have decreased by 1/2, the chicken in the salad has changed to some form of what I assume is canned tuna? May Caesar salad today tasted salty, like it was tuna fish. The limes used to come wrapped, now they are dry and unwrapped. I don't know what happened but I want the old sweetgreen back. I've also had orders cancelled completely and they are often "behind" so today I placed an order at 2 and the earliest I could get my order was 3:15 but I got it at 3:40. An hour and 40 min for 1/2 of a $16 salad with tuna tasting chicken is wild. Is it a management change? A supply problem? A new chef? Heeeeelp read more

sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls - This is an example of the "new" Cesar chicken salad - before they switched to canned chicken today. Salads used to show up full. - Salad Near Me - Berkeley, California

I love sweetgreen but every single time I use the app to place and order and make substitutions they get the substitutions wrong. Several times I've paid for extra things and they didn't put them in my order. I filed a complaint on the app but never heard back from them about my wrong orders. I'm allergic to tomatoes and I removed them from my salad on the app but they still it them in my salad. This location has really poor attention to detail. :( read more

I am so annoyed and irritated right now, I drove from Hayward to get something to eat...had a craving! I will say that the fact that the only way you can order is to use the app...is ridiculous! Needless to say I will not patronize this location at all...based on who they had standing outside directing people. Most of the time it isn't even about the why...it is about how you deliver what you need to say. Sometimes customer service speaks volumes, when the rules are inconvenient...and I will say that it does make a difference how you talk to someone. I hope that they eventually get a Sweetgreen closer to Hayward, than Oakland/Berkeley San Mateo, we need one in our area. read more

Very tasty and not very expensive. I have eaten here several times and enjoyed the food every single time

I've noticed the portion size is now about 1/2 of what it used to be, for the same price. I know we're all still dealing with sticker shock from inflation, but this is ridiculous. I ordered a bowl and got a small handful of chopped kale with some veggies, a little scoops of rice, and dressing - little more than a side salad, for $16. That's pushing it, even for the Bay Area. I've read that this is a "supply chain issue", which doesn't make much sense. Are they importing salad greens from far-flung places? There's no kale shortage at the supermarket. And regardless, shouldn't the price reflect the dramatically smaller portion size? I'm saddened because I really liked this place as a healthy and convenient takeout spot, but won't be returning. read more

Boy what a long day. Alarm went off at 6 am managed to haul my carcass out of bed by 6:32 am. Yelled at the kids to hurry up and managed to get myself dressed in clothes that had minimal wrinkles. Drive thru to grab the kids a quick breakfast on the go, fought off the horde of parents running late for work trying to drop their kids off at school, made it to the Bart train just in the nick of time for my train to SF. Quitting time!!! Let's do it again only in reverse. As I rushed to Bart got a text from the kids they were grabbing dinner with friends and going to the basketball game. What's dad supposed to eat. I'm not going to cook for just me. Certainly not hitting the drive thru. Sweet Greens is only a few blocks from Downtown Berkeley Bart, healthy and yummy and on my way home. The staff there are always happy to serve you and seem to enjoy their job. Order online and the food has always been ready at the time specified. Fresh, flavorful, and did I say healthy. I got the Warm Bowl with a small but satisfying piece of trout and side of Cashew Pesto Sweet Potatoes (SO GOOD). Now I'm full, satisfied, and not bloated. Would have spent about the same at a drive thru so this was a win and no dishes to wash . read more

This was my first time trying Sweetgreen. I'd been looking forward to checking them out for a long time and I finally got my head wrapped around paying $20 for a salad and went for it. I ordered the Super Green Goddess with chicken add-on. The veggie ingredients were okay but the green goddess ranch dressing was SO SALTY!! It made the salad inedible. It had to be a bad batch of dressing because there's no way they make the green goddess dressing this salty all the time. I forced myself to have a few bites but then gave up. My tongue felt raw from all the salt. It was so bad. I tried calling the restaurant to speak to a manager before posting this terrible 1-star review but they didn't pick up. It's impossible to talk to a live person. I tried multiple times and was unable to reach them so I'm posting. read more

I've frequented this location the whole pandemic and I've never had any issues. I order online with the App (Sweetgreen or UberEats) and my salad is always ready on-time as requested. Plus they have a parking lot that makes pick up so easy, most times. Sometimes the lot is full during lunch/dinner- keep in mind. I usually go for the Kale Ceasar or Guacamole Greens. All ingredients taste fresh and so yummy to eat. ALL THE NUTRIENTS! :) Yes on the pricier end for a salad BUT worth it time to time when you don't want to cook/want a healthier take out option. Thank you for coming in clutch Sweetgreen! read more

Used to really love sweetgreen and would always order the chicken pesto parm. I feel like the quality has gone a bit down, especially considering that the "spicy broccoli" in this salad was 90% thick broccoli stems. Not sure about other locations, but at this location you can only order through the app. This made things a bit difficult because the app wasn't working for me and gave me an error every time I tried to add an item, so had to install it on my fiancés phone and go through the whole process again. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed my salad. It was tasty and satisfied me without making me feel gross. read more

These used to be big, bountiful salads, but now it's like half my salad is missing. For the same price. We tried a couple times, thinking maybe it was just a one off, but no, it's been consistent for the last number of months. Portion size decreased by basically half. Sadly we'll have to take a break, though we love the food here. Doesn't feel worth it anymore. read more

The good is it was m, as usual great taste and very clean. I don't mind paying more but now it is a bit more expensive and the portions are smaller. I ordered a salad with the steak but just a warning it does not taste as good as the picture because the meat was a bit over cooked and not as delicious looking as the picture. read more

Sweetgreen serves up solid salads with huge portions at standard prices and I can't complain. My food has always been ready before the estimated time which is a huge plus. Who doesn't want to save time waiting for food? I highly recommend the guacamole greens and feel alright about the grain bowls. They weren't bad but they were disappointing in comparison. I'd suggest checking this place out even if you're not craving something healthy - you can always get a ton of green goddess ranch dressing! read more

Not Cool! 1) Cannot order at the store 2) Must sit and stand outside in the cold 3) Admittedly nice staff 4) Salad is not premixed (or didn't see the option on the app) I may just be a bit frustrated but it took me 20 minutes to order in a rush. Using the Level Up App already and also couldn't get the discount either because of it. Another 10 mins read more

Took 45min to get my salads, I ordered it with the steelhead and when I got back there was only chicken as the protein, I'm a vegetarian and so I took it back and politely asked them to remake it, they took the salad and simply took the chicken off and replaced it with the steel head, which is very unsanitary and is actually a health code violation, I was particularly upset because I was explicitly took them I'm a vegetarian. It was already and hour and I was hungry so I just decided to take the salad and eat it anyway... big mistake, the fish was very dry and tasted old, the next few hours I got food poisoning..... !!! DON'T GO HERE !!! If you want something healthy in the way of Salad, Sliver and Mezzo are way better and cheaper. read more

When you first come in here, you'll probably think that the prices are way too high for just salad, but the salads here are delicious and completely worth the price. This is a great place to go to if you want a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. I got the kale Caesar salad and it was surprisingly good. Usually, I wouldn't get such a healthy sounding item, but since I was dieting and the kale Caesar only had 420 calories, I decided to get it. The romaine lettuce was super crisp and fresh and the kale added a nice light bitterness and earthiness. The parmesan crisps and shaved parmesan gave the salad a nice richness. The chicken was tender and meaty. The tomatoes and lime added a light acidity. And the dressing was super flavorful and brought everything together. I'm not usually a salad person, and I generally like my vegetables cooked rather than raw. But the salad here is so good, I didn't care that it was salad. If you're on a diet or want to eat something light, then you should definitely come here. read more

I still really like sweetgreen salads and think they have good customer service, but my latest experiences have been poor. I read on the news and hear on podcasts about how they're pivoting to become distribution kitchens, but I would say their distribution is quite lacking. Example 1: twice in the past month when I've attempted to get delivery, the app says delivery is unavailable. I know they deliver to my address, so maybe it's an unavailability of drivers (thru their partner Uber Eats). I always momentarily contemplate ordering SG on Doordash but then decide I don't want to pay the price premium. Example 2: the one time I managed to get delivery, they were 1 hour late and totally botched my salad (cauliflower rice instead of quinoa, left out my dressing, skimped on toppings). I complained and got a refund + a $20 credit, but I haven't been able to use the credit because of the aforementioned lack of delivery. I hope they improve this soon - it's mind boggling that they haven't gotten this right read more

I come back periodically, thinking this time it'll be OK. Especially since lately they have had NO business, when they used to have a long line of people ordering. It used to be that my main complaint was they made no effort to keep their tiny parking lot from filling with long-time parking non-customers. But no; this place is getting worse and worse. I came in to pick up an order that should be ready. It was ready 20 min past the estimated time. When I walked in, one person was working on salads, one in the back, and six half-done salads were lined up on the counter waiting to be finished. Turns out the person in the back (prepping ingredients, I think) was the one to come out and finish all those waiting salads. There were eight people waiting around for their orders. I keep saying that this is the last time I am trying this place. Their food is decent, but their service is consistently horrible and getting worse. Down to 2 employees at Friday dinner time! read more

Our boss bought us lunch from here on our visit to the office and I see why he gets it everyday! Although we could've picked another restaurant the next day we were in, I wanted sweet greens again because it was THAT GOOD! First day I tried the Shroomami bowl with js levels and depths of flavor from the mushroom to tofu and wonderful dressing. The second day I had the harvest bowl which is just a combination of fall goodness. Thank you sweet greens!! I'll be sure to order again when in the area!!! read more
