Don't get me wrong, as evidenced by my stars, I do really like this place. But seriously, sweetgreen, get it right? Your Yelp says that you're open till seven today. The sweetgreen app says that you're open till eight. When I call, and I called yesterday as well, I get an automatic message telling me that you're closed because of a holiday. And you were closed yesterday on Sunday because of what holiday? Come on sweetgreen. This happens so many times. It used to happen with the Kensington Park one as well. I say used to because I haven't called them recently because it was completely unhelpful. Do you guys answer your phone? Apparently, I can place an order online but is it just gonna go into the round file? There are many technological advances that you could use to get proper information out to the public. Yes, good food, but you lose a star for your disorganization in this organization. I'm wanting accurate information because I need to arrange a ride to get to you tonight. I'm going to be taking the bus and I need to travel quite a distance to even get to that bus. I don't wanna get there and be disappointed that you're closed. Really kind of sad. Good food though. Perfect example of right Hand not talking to the left hand, not talking to the middle fingers read more

Sweet's ordering system is a joke. Tracking system and messages only ever said that my order wasn't ready, they were still preparing to prepare it. Even now--long after I picked up the order--it still says that it's being prepared. The pleasant Fernando of the tech response team noted that my order was likely already done. I came to learn that in fact had been for a while, not that I could've known. And then the product itself was a big disappointment. Exceedingly little protein--though lots of rice, if you're looking for a gut bomb... Pro tip: when Sweet's ordering system inevitably doesn't work for you, immediately ask the AI bot to "escalate" because then you will get an old school system to tell you useful information that their high tech one cannot. read more

Sweetgreen was alright -- convenient and fresh, but expensive for what it is. I liked that you can customize your own salad and build it the way you want. The ingredients seemed fresh, and it's a good option if you're looking for something lighter or just need a quick bite. They also had premade salads and bowls, but even those started around $13 and went up from there. That feels pretty steep for a salad. If you start adding extras or customizing too much, it's very easy to go overboard and end up paying a small fortune. The place itself was nice and clean, but the overall experience felt a little rushed and impersonal. There were a lot of workers, but it had more of a mass-production feel than a regular restaurant vibe. You can order and pay at the kiosks, which is convenient, but it also adds to that less personal feeling. At the end of the day, it's still basically a salad. I'd come back if I needed something quick, fresh, and convenient, but it's not somewhere I'd go on a regular basis. read more

sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls - My $17+ custom salad bowl - Salad Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The bowl was a nice portion, fresh greens and the steak was tender. It can be a bit pricey once you start adding on and start making modifications but honestly this was one of the freshest bowls I've had in recent memories. Service was quick and the Inside eating area was noticeably super clean. First impressions go along way and I was surprised by how pleased I was with this purchase. Sometimes you buy food and when you get it you instantly start thinking about how you over paid or couldve made it at home. They even count macros for all you gym gurus and calorie counters! It's really great food for a QSR, and the emphasis on "healthy" is merely a plus. read more

This is an easy way to pick up some clean, healthier option food. The portions are big and every item is customizable. We customized the chicken jalapeño wrap to include garlic steak instead of chicken and added garlic aioli. I highly recommend the sweet potatoes with dill dipping sauce for a side dish. read more

This location has a drive-thru! I had never seen one with that option! It's a stand alone building with a patio area under some umbrellas, and then a covered open air seating space by the coded unisex restrooms. My favorite item here is the caramelized steak with wild rice and sweet potato's. I earned enough points this time to get a free drink. The Kombucha is so good! As is everything else, and fairly priced too. Especially for these high quality ingredients that are perfectly seasoned and locally sourced by trusted farms, which is all listed on their wall. Can't get any more informative than that! read more

Disappointed. Thought I would give this place a try, despite the mixed reviews. I got 2 rotten tomatoes, rotted/brown mix greens and they missed the feta. Definitely won't come back. $18 for a salad I had to throw out. read more

Maybe I manifested this. I have always wanted a healthy drive thru. And now it's by my work, so just take my money. The summer menu just started and since it's only here for the summer I of course had to go that route. There will be time to try the regular menu later. It is way too easy to order through the app and then pull through the drive thru and you're off with your food. Fork and napkins included, now they are just making it even easier. The salad had so many textures and flavors. And I see you jalapeno ranch dressing you were the cherry on top. Next time, trying a bowl. read more

First time trying SweetGreen -- and this location is fairly new. Theres plenty of parking but during peak hours, the car turning left onto Bristol could cause a jam. I went in not knowing what to expect but that I wanted a salad -- no place to seat so it's an essential order and go no table service). Upon entering, you see "rack" for pick up. Quick reading some posters and signs on the walls -- all proudly displayed of local sourced ingredients. The set up is like "Chipotle" and ordering structure is via a kiosk. Ordering is done through a kiosk, and while I kind of miss having an actual (possibly teenage ) human take my order, the system worked well, especially if you want to modify your salad. There's a good selection of ingredients, and the build-your-own option makes it easy to get exactly what you want. There's also prefix popular salad bowls (listed on menu). There BYO-version from the base can add up quickly. Overall, the salad bowl was nicely packaged and taste yummy--fresh ingredients, good pairing of flavors and satisfying. I will come back...and did again! :) read more

I opted for the build-your-own bowl, and ordering was incredibly convenient using their tablets. The options were easy to read, included photos, and clearly listed customizable ingredients and pricing. I went with a salmon bowl, loaded it up with plenty of veggies, and added a creamy cilantro dressing on the side. The bowl came out exactly as ordered, and everything tasted fresh-perfect for a healthy lunch option. Cashiers were friendly and always willing to answer any questions I had. While there isn't much indoor seating, they do offer a nice patio area for dining in. read more

This place is located right in between a McDonald's and Chipotle on Bristol St. When I went on the weekend, there weren't many ppl. Though I heard this place gets busy around lunch time. When you enter there is a huge menu on the right and a place to order on the left. You can also order on the app as well as or on one of the monitors on the right below the menu. Since this was my first time, I decided to go with a ready made bowl but I've seen others build their own. I went with the chicken parm. Though another way you could do it is choose a pre-made bowl and then substitute out ingredients if you don't want to start from scratch. You can also choose to have the dressing mixed in or on the side. Note that if you elect to get it mixed in, you should plan to eat it within 15 min or it might get soggy. The place was clean and staff were very nice. In the corner is a place for utensils, napkins, and bags if you want your food to go. My bowl was pretty good though I think next time I'll choose not to get a bowl with so much leafy greens. Was a bit overpowering tbh. Price was fair but it can get pricy if you choose to make your own depending on how much you add. Overall seems like a healthy place to eat. Will definitely try to build my own bowl next time. read more

Finally a Sweetgreen in Costa Mesa! They just opened on Bristol St and Red Hill Ave. I placed my order through their app, and everything went smoothly from order to pick-up to food presentation and taste. The staff were friendly as well. There is also a drive-thru, which is awesome for order pick-up. The space is large and has outdoor seating too. read more

This spot was pretty cool! I loved the healthy options and how quickly you can order and pickup your food. The chicken salad that I had was tasty and had lots of finely chopped greens. The pomegranate drink that I ordered was super tasty too. I also liked the decor--everything was perfect. If I worked or lived closer to this place, I would be here all the time. read more

Chicken Avocado Ranch: 9.5/10. It is something I would get if I crave healthy or comfort food. The rice was delicious, and surprisingly, the apple goes well with the salad. It has a generous portion too considering that I got it as delivery. read more

Went for lunch Friday with a friend and it didn't disappoint! The team was super helpful as I was using a gift card. We all know how that tends to go... The card wasn't working correctly but they got it working and we were able to use it. Patio was dog friendly. The Harvest bowl is my favorite salad! Amazing flavor. I had the apple pomegranate drink for the first time and loved it! Highly recommend this place for any meal! read more

It's gamble with this sweet location. Half of the time the food is great. Half of the time the food is either undercooked, stale, or rotten. I'm disgusted that they would serve food like this. I can't tell if it is mold or simply rotten. I brought it up to a gentleman with dark brown/black hair and his response was "well I haven't seen anyone get sick from it". I began feeling sick shortly after eating. read more

Ordered one of their high protein plates and this is the protein that came out... says 34g of protein and as someone who tracks macros, this is definitely not high protein or 34g ... When asking the workers about the contents, they were dismissive about it. Do not come here. $17 for inaccurate descriptions. read more

sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls - Steak Mezze - Salad Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Food was overcooked yet cold for the bowl (rice and chicken cold). Even the raw items were mushy (apples, cucumbers). Very plain and basic bowl but the individual ingredients, if fresh and well prepared, still could have tasted good. Ordered the side sweet potatoes, were they supposed to be mashed ? Because they definitely were and again inedible. Two stars bc the flavor of the chicken was good and great concept. Hopefully they improve the quality of their ingredients and cooking technique so I can give another try later read more

Love this place! Great food, super easy and fast, extremely nice people. Great experience and I'll be back.

The most disgusting meal I have eaten. The steak was like reheated 5 day old leftovers. Heavily salted and just gross. They also only put 5 small pieces of meat the rice and potatoes were ok but tasteless. This restaurant has gone downhill. Never again Sweetgreen read more

I checked this place out for the first time last weekend and I really liked it! I got the garlic parm cauli salad bowl with added chicken from their fall menu. It was delicious! I love that you're able to customize the salads, like being able to add chicken (since the base recipe was vegetarian, but I wanted something heartier). It was a good portion size and very tasty and healthy. It was also quick for them to make it. We ordered using their ordering tablets, which streamlined the process. I would happily come back here! read more

I like the harvest bowl. Delicious. I like the dressing and all the toppings come together nicely.

A brand new franchised eatery just open for business that specialized in healthy middle eastern food. The food prep area is quite impressive. There are 2 separate seating area, one next to but separated from the kitchen area by a partition. The other is outside in open space with sun umbrellas for shade. Orders were taken on a kiosk. You select your own mix items for your bowl from a wide variety of veggies, cereals, meats, salads and dressings. Cereals include quinoa and wild rice. Roasted almond and chick peas are also available. We selected chicken, beef and salmon for meat variety. Salmon was the best, tender, tasty and good size portion. Chicken was OK. Beef were served in cubes and some cubes were tough to chew on. They also served several types of beverages and I like the ginger infused one the best. Overall the serving portion was generous although a bit pricy. Service was good. This would be the place if you want some change in your palate! read more

The food was good and decent. ...If you don't mind it coming from a conveyor belt and machines. The customer service was poor. Employees did not interact with customers and almost appeared annoyed at helping. I will not be going back. read more

One of the worst customer service I've ever experience. They ignore every single customer until you flagged them down.

The food was really delicious I got the Steak Mezzi bowl and it was incredible. I only wish the protein portion was just a bit larger. It misses the mark slightly in terms of value, for me at least. Service was nothing special. Not bad but it is always a little weird not being greeted when walking into a business. There's no indoor seating, but the building is beautiful inside and out. Very tasteful and the outdoor seating is abundant and comfortable. A couple small things I noticed, two of the indoor plants were dead, and the glass doors were dirty with fingerprints. I would go again, a bit pricey but just about worth it. read more

Rice was hard, salmon was dry. Terrible. Will never go back to this location ever again.

We don't need anymore food places that close at 8:40 pm.. We ordered on the app not realizing they have special hours on a regular Friday. They refused to make it and we caught them closing at 8:40 pm. As for the money we spent, we got no refund and were told to call corporate Hours posted on google and their door said 10:00pm Honestly I think they are racist. Like a lot of places around here. There were people walking out with food as we parked. They just decided to cut us off for no reason. Waste of gas and money. The review is for their horrid service, and closing early. We already paid for the order, and no we aren't getting up at 10:15 am on Valentines Saturday to pick up tonight's dinner salad. Fix your app. If you're closed don't allow me to order. If you weren't in a rush to close before 9 pm, you could have made this right. I could understand if I had showed up after 9 even though you were supposed to be open until ten.. if you guys have wierd early hours all weekend long the LEAST you can do is stay open until exactly that time and not close a full hour and twenty minutes early.. I'm really angry. My husband has diabetes and hashimotos and doesn't get home from work till 7 pm and we thought we could rely on getting a salad. We are quite literally "starving" for options that don't require us to fall into ill health that are open long enough for us to complete our errands and get something to eat. read more

This new location is great! I had the hot honey chicken bowl and the miso salmon bowl and both were incredible! The service was top-tier. Ordering was easy, our food was ready quick, and the staff was very friendly! Pam was great to interact with and very passionate about her job. The patio is very chic and the perfect spot for lunch or dinner. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place recently opened down the street from my work and I went with a coworker to give it a try. I got the Harvest bowl and loved it. My coworker had the bbq chicken salad and said it was amazing. You order on a kiosk/iPad when you walk in, so this may be difficult for some, otherwise no complaints. I'd recommend ordering ahead on their website. I'll definitely be back. read more

Super fresh and clean vibe. The service was really quick. The food was great! Will be coming here more often.
