    Bandaid in salad
    Alfred Timothy C.

    I honestly don't even know how to process what just happened. My best friend was raving about this Sweetgreen in Long Beach so we came in excited to try it, expecting something fresh, clean and healthy. Within minutes of sitting down that excitement turned into complete disgust when my friend found a used Band Aid with visible blood inside his salad. I am not exaggerating, this was a literal bloody bandage mixed into the food. It is honestly disturbing to even type this out. This is not a small mistake, this is a serious health and safety issue. It immediately made us question everything about how food is handled here. Are they even using gloves? Are basic hygiene standards being followed? Because there is absolutely no reason a Band Aid should ever end up in someone's food. Ever. What made it even worse was how it was handled. We brought it to the cashier right away expecting urgency, concern, anything that showed they understood how serious this was. Instead the response felt completely dismissive. The employee with the orange bandana whose Band Aid clearly fell into the food did not even apologize. He literally shrugged his shoulders like it was normal. Like what??? That alone was insane to me. No urgency, no concern, nothing. No manager stepped in, no one took accountability, no refund was offered. They just offered to remake the bowl and gave us a free lemonade. A lemonade??? Seriously??? That is all you thought this situation was worth??? There was a bloody Band Aid in the food and you think a lemonade fixes that??? If my friend did not notice and actually ate it that could have been extremely dangerous. The fact that this was handled so casually is honestly what makes it worse. This is not just bad service, this is a complete failure in food safety and management. I will be contacting corporate about this because this needs to be addressed. This is unacceptable on every level. I am beyond disappointed and honestly just disgusted. I would not trust this location again.

    One of my Yelp friends told me about their soft opening on Eventbrite, and so I signed up twice. Wait, twice? Yes, they actually had two separate events for soft opening weekends, and since I didn't know which was the correct weekend, I simply signed up to attend both, being aware that one of them was going to have to drop. When I emailed their customer support team, they mentioned that the correct soft opening weekend was the earlier one, but also recommended to keep the later RSVP in case the soft opening date got pushed to the right. Guess what? The soft opening date got pushed to the following weekend, and so that necessitated the earlier event to be canceled on Eventbrite. Luckily, I retained both RSVPs in case the first one fell through, which it did, so I was still able to attend the soft opening weekend after all. Sweetgreen recently opened in Long Beach Marketplace close to where Trader Joe's and Wild Fork are. If you recall where J's Cleaners and the Verizon Wireless store were, that's where Sweetgreen is now. The soft opening happened between 12 and 6 PM on the Friday and Saturday preceding the grand opening date. VIPs who RSVPed for one of the 15-minute time slots were entitled to a complimentary entree to celebrate Sweetgreen's first location in the LBC. I wasn't sure if I'd make it for lunch, but I knew I'd be able to make it for dinner, so I chose the last time slot of 5:45 to 6 PM on Saturday. I actually arrived at about 5:30 PM, but Simon at the front said it was no problem that I was early as he scanned my Eventbrite ticket to confirm my attendance for the soft opening. They were also giving out samples of their bread, which I grabbed one before entering. With so many customers inside to claim their complimentary entrees, I made the mistake of waiting on the left hand side where others were waiting for their orders, but I hadn't made mine yet! After a couple minutes of waiting, I noticed a sign that directed me to the self-order kiosks on the other side of the restaurant. That's where I went, and Martin was there to help. Martin was very helpful. He and Simon explained that for the soft opening, modifications weren't allowed, but I still wanted to at least see the comprehensive ingredients list on the kiosk. I knew I wanted the Caramelized Garlic Steak, a protein plate, and I'll shamefully admit it was because it's the most expensive entree on their menu lol. When I browsed the ingredients, I thought I was supposed to choose my base, which I would have wanted half & half of wild rice & quinoa. However, Martin pointed out that would have counted as a modification. Oops! But luckily, he made it happen for me, though it wasn't intuitive for me to understand how to change the 2 servings of wild rice to 1 serving each of the wild rice and quinoa. Not wanting to bend any more rules, I simply skimmed through the ingredients and hit continue. Then, I was asked how many cups of pesto vinaigrette would I like: 1, 2, or 3? I still wouldn't have to pay one way or the other or even that other, so I went with 3. For the soft opening, customers were instructed to "pay with cash", but the meal was really on the house. It only took about 2 minutes before my name was called, and an employee slid my Caramelized Garlic Steak plate to me. However, I didn't get a bag, so I had to ask for a bag; when I visited the Torrance location a week prior, I was given a bag after paying. They didn't have many tables inside or outside, and they were all occupied, so I had no choice but to enjoy my meal in my car. The Caramelized Garlic Steak was quite fresh and healthy, but also quite dry/bland that the sauces were an absolute must! The beef was slightly tough to chew, but only a minor nuisance at best. I definitely enjoyed the Caramelized Garlic Steak overall, but it's a bit pricey at $19. Rest assured, their ingredients are of good quality! Also, I found the bump ticket to be hilariously anachronistic by recommending that I consume my meal precisely 2 hours and 15 minutes before I placed my order. How exactly would I do that?! lol I came back a second time the following month and had the Chicken Avocado Ranch for $10, which was a rewards exclusive for that month. Quite delish! However, I hate how I have immense trouble removing and replacing the lids on their compostable bowls, so you need to be real careful so as to not spill any food on the table or even in your car! Thank you and congrats Sweetgreen on opening your first location in Long Beach! I had a hard time deciding between 4 and 5 for this one. It was a solid 9 out of 10, but I think it's slightly closer to 8 than 10. Next time I get asked for a recommendation on healthy eats that won't break the bank, I'm pointing the inquirer to Sweetgreen. And if you've managed to read the entire review, I'll let you know that new SG rewards members can get $5 off their first purchase, but you may have to email their customer support team first like I did.

    Steak protein bowl
    Jennifer N.

    I love Sweetgreen! It tastes delicious and the food is so clean and healthy. My usual order is the miso glazed salmon and wild rice, and the steak protein bowl. You are allowed to add a fee sides and toppings to it. The staffs, Simon and Alex was extra helpful and patience to serve us. Im so happy they open a location here in Long Beach. Plenty of parking, inside the Trader Joe's shopping center and behind Trader Joe's.

    Food was 5/5: the steak and chicken salad was delicious. First time here and will definitely be coming back. It's very pricey though. Service: was great, staff were very friendly. Ambiance: cute simple modern salad cafe.

    Miriah S.

    Ordered on the app, my salad was ready for pick up pretty quickly and prepared with the right modifications, but the presentation was not it. Super fresh ingredients though.

    Nice new place. The salads are delicious and very filling. Quality products, people say they're a bit pricey, but I feel like it's worth it and appropriately priced. Eating an entire salad had me full for most of my day, and that was without protein. Love love love the pesto vinaigrette. Everything is fresh, healthy and delicious, plus you can customize it how you want it.

    welcome to LB sweetgreen!! located in the marketplace on pch & 2nd, btw tj's and wild fork this sweetgreen location is spacious, inviting and a little patio for some al fresco dining :D super friendly and eager staff during my visit i love the customizations on the bowls a bit pricey but def worth it bc the portions are actually pretty large. healthy, fresh and gorgeous looking food :D the menu is a bit overwhelming if you are new to sweetgreen but you got this. everything is delicious! my fave is the chicken pesto parm with golden quinoa toppings: garlic breadcrumbs, spicy broccoli, roasted sweet potatoes premium: antibiotic-free roasted chicken and antibiotic-free miso glazed salmon dressing: pesto vinaigrette and green goddess ranch (FAVORITE) parking: no issues. tons of parking, just park away from tj's lol, park over by wild fork.

    Tried this place twice and it's pretty solid so far. The only comment kinda negative is the fish was pretty dry, however, I will definitely plan to come back and try other items!

    Long Beach finally has a Sweetgreen! Wish it was in a more central part of Long Beach but I'm not surprised they went as close to OC as you can get. The location is different than the other one I usually go to in that you don't build your bowl as you go but you order everything on a kiosk. I like to see my ingredients as I go but I'll take the kiosk. And actually a very friendly staff member came and took my order. Their food was fresh, delicious, and healthy as always. The location has tons of parking and the space is clean and well lit.

    Shannon Z.

    Lots of healthy food options here! I love that ordering is very simple via a kiosk system and food comes out fast and fresh. I also like that they list out the calories for each item. Enjoyed the hibiscus tea which was refreshing. Parking is easy as well.

    Create your own. With strawberry hibiscus tea.

    So this is a brand new location. My first time eating there. I was a little thrown off that the salads are made by a machine, but the staff there was super helpful. They showed me you can modify all of the items for roasted tofu and take out the meat and the price should be a little less. Good food portion. Not a big area to sit to dine in. Overall, a good experience.

    This place just opened in Long Beach and I had to try it! When we got there around 1230pm it was super packed and we waited a few minutes in line. They have some screens you can order so that helped expedite the process a bit. They encouraged me to get the app for a $5off sale plus to accumulate their rewards. It took me only a couple minutes; it was worth it! We ordered a couple bowls and again, super fast process it took less than 5 minutes for them to be ready. We sat outside but there are some tables inside as well. My bowl was very tasty and the cashew dressing was amazing, however the salmon was very dry. Spencer came outside to ask if everything was good so that was a plus as well. Great customer service and we will be back to try other things!

With a warm, inviting aesthetic, Jan's Health Bar serves fresh & fit food, for those looking to fill up, semi guilt-free. With my birthday month promo, I asked the cashier for her recommendation between the Hippy, Strawberry Delight or Chunky Monkey smoothies. Without a bat of an eyelash, she declared Chunky Monkey should be my pick, as it's the most popular. Thus, Chunky Monkey it is! Chunky Monkey- Banana, raw peanut (or lightly toasted almond) butter, cacao nibs, dates, maca, chia seeds, chocolate protein (w/ ashwagandha), & almond milk. Smooth & cooling on a hot summer day, the Chunky Monkey hit the spot, after eating a sub sandwich from nearby Beach Cities Deli & BBQ. The thick concoction had just enough sweetness to satisfy the sweet tooth. The caocao, maca & ashwagandha provided their health benefits (especially for male vitality *wink, wink*), and the sumptuous drink was delicious down to the last drop. Service was excellent. I was greeted in a friendly, hospitable manner. A little bit of wait for the smoothie to be prepared, but nothing exorbitantly so. A good amount of seating inside, parking is in a private lot shared by Obra Bakery, Club Pilates, Yoga Six & other businesses. My first visit to Jan's Health Bar, and I'm a fan. The great birthday month perk afforded me the opportunity to try their incredibly good Chunky Monkey, and I'm looking forward to coming back and exploring the rest of their menu.

There are also three tables outside that seat four, four, and two for a maximum of ten. The place fills up fast, but empties just as quick. And their baked goods go quick, so grab them while you can! I ordered the Cuban Empanada as an appetizer. The savory rice and bean filling was a perfect compliment to the sweet ripe plantain filling and hint of sweetness in the dough. They are baked and the dough is thick and chewy, so if you're not a fan of that type of Empanada, be warned... I ordered the Cuban Sandwich as the main course. It was DELICIOUS and I would recommend it to everyone! If you're a purist, like a few of my friends and family though, be warned. Their take on the Cuban is made with Ciabatta not Cuban Bread, Mozzarella not Swiss, and is toasted not pressed... I ordered a Vanilla & Dulce De Leche Cookie for Dessert. It was AMAZING! Soft chewy on the inside, a little crunch on the outside. The taste of a sugar cookie with little sugar bombs of Dulce De Leche throughout. Perfect. And I washed it all down with a Tres Leches Latte (Hot). It was DIVINE! Very much on the sweet side, which I absolutely enjoyed to the last drop. But, if you do not like it too sweet, you can ask them to lower the sweetness level. Also, they will give you an option of dairy milk (2%), almond milk, or oat milk when you order.

The fillings all had decent flavor, but none of them were outstanding or impressed me enough to want more. I will say, the green salsa they included with the order SIGNIFICANTLY improved the taste and experience of the empanadas. By itself, I'd rate the empanadas 3/5, but with the salsa, it definitely goes up to at least 4/5. But I dislike that the empanadas can't hold their own without the addition of the salsa. The shop is located in a plaza with a decent amount of parking. I think there were a few tables outside to enjoy the food, but not much seating otherwise. The girl at the counter seemed sweet and helpful and immediately greeted us when we came into the store. While the empanadas here aren't for me, it does seem like many people like them!
