sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls

This is a cute and cozy salad place, with plenty of healthy options. I chose the soup and salad…read morecombo, chorizo taco salad and the baked potato soup. Salad was very tasty, a bit too many jalapeños for my taste. The soup was also good, I liked that it wasn't salty. Service was good, I was also with my partner. He had a chicken and mushroom soup and fajita panini which he enjoyed. I'd eat here again.

Trash. This is what I get for trusting a white establishment in Bushwick. I ordered the crispy…read moregrain bowl. It was pretty much lettuce with a sprinkle of rice, some processed pita chips crumbled on top, and cold chicken. The whole bowl was cold. I was gagged, and I know it's my fault because I should never trust a white establishment in Bushwick. Don't go there--save yourself. The juices are good, but you're paying $10 or $11 for a juice, which is insane in this economy. Come on, bring it back down. You're not even getting a large cup--it's just a medium.

I've been back here a few times since my review in June 2024. The service and the food has…read moredeclined over time since then. This time I had the mushroom and onion hummus, which was a little watery and only came with one small piece of pita for a large bowl. I also got the fries, which are still actually pretty good. The reason for the steep downgrade aside from the dwindling food quality and the so-so drinks, is the service this time was just ATROCIOUS. Bushwick service has gotten kinda cruddy overall these days because so many places have this transplant hipster vibe where they just can't be bothered, but this guy acted annoyed and put out to even be there. It was not great last time, but this time was astonishingly bad. He took my order and as soon as my food came out, he disappeared behind a screen and didn't come back out unless someone came in the door (which was only a couple times). Never checked on me. Never asked if I wanted another drink (my mint julep was awful, so moot point I guess). I had to wait for him to emerge when a to go order came in for me to flag him down for the check. Probably the last time I come back here.

Restaurant was decorated and music was kinda loud so it was hard to hear someone across from me…read more They later dimmed the lights and had candles which was nice. Staff were nice and attentive. The hummus and falafel plate was good. I really liked the rice and veggies - the flavors paired well. Maybe too much hummus for the portion ratio? Decent price for what you're getting, maybe $40 including tax/tip(?) for two of these plates.

I felt like the servings were huge!!! Immediately walking in, I was greeted and sat down. My order was taken quickly too. It was a busy day but my food still came out within 10 minutes. And good thing too because I was starving. I got the pollo arepa and pollo empanada. Looovveee how soft the pollo empanada is... it's so dang fluffy. That was my first time having an empanada with that kind of dough. I have to say that I prefer it. Wish Filipinos used that dough when we make our empanadas. lol. The pollo arepa was everything!!! I had never had an arepa until the day I had one here. The meat was seasoned so nicely in their tomato based sauce. And the actual arepa... soft yet had a bit of a crunch. It was the perfect textures for me. I also enjoyed their soursop juice. It paired perfectly with my meal. My friend got the pernil arepa and was impressed by the taste and the green sauce. I didn't get much information out of him other than it was hitting the spot lol. Definitely a solid place to go in the area. It's kind of medium sized in there but there is plenty of seating if you're with a party no bigger than 3 or 4 people. I think most people come in here for a grab and go situation. But it's cool to hang around to watch the kitchen at work and hear the music.

The menu changes constantly and you can find the latest menu on their Instagram stories which they update daily. As a rule of thumb, plan to get dessert. The dark chocolate tiramisu slice we were served was healthy in size, rich in flavor and perfect to split between the two of us. I tend to order 3 dishes (one protein and two side dishes) when coming in with a friend. The dishes are always a reminder of how simple ingredients can be combined to create fantastic flavors. As a note, the Chicken Cutlet was perfectly crisp and now I feel inclined to stop in for lunch and grab a sandwich. The wines are definitely selected by someone who has a preference for funky I almost want to say musky flavors. Never really found something there that I liked which is the only drawback to this place. Get a reservation, this place can be packed very quickly. It's also good for small groups, I've seen many a birthday dinner take place here.

The inside doesn't have much seating (only window seating), but they have seating on the outside. On top of being a sandwich spot, they are also a deli and sell a variety of supermarket goods.

Service was nice but it took about 20 minutes for our sandwiches to be done, which I felt was a bit long. Would be a great spot to hang out with friends on a sunny day!

I ordered the feast combo and 2 orders of Sambusas for my boyfriends birthday.

I payed for 2 orders of sambusas and only received one order. I also ordered an additional bread which i did not receive. Very unhappy with the service. Felt a bit like they wanted me out the door as soon as i got there even though it was only 9:30 and they close at 10:00 and it was a takeout order. Food was tasty though. Wouldve been really nice to have everything i payed for though. Thanks to grubhub i did get money back for what was missing.

Being Angelenos, it's VERY hard to find ANYTHING that is open IN-STORE after 10 or 11pm...even on the weekend!! We were so happy to find this establishment while walking between bars and starting to feel very hungry! Also, it doesn't hurt that the pizza here is also EXCELLENT! Having visited L'Industrie earlier in the week, which I absolutely LOVED, I was very pleasantly surprised to find the pizza slices here to be quite comparable in taste, quality, and size. It's also a very bright, open, warm, and welcoming space within. Service was prompt and efficient, if not a tad bit curt...although I give them grace...considering the fact we were visiting late at night around 2am. Anyways...if it was THAT good when we went in the middle of the night...I feel I can confidently recommend this spot as great for grabbing pizza slices. It's definitely worth a visit, in my book!
