Since I recently visited the sweetgreen location in Sacramento on Fair Oaks + Howe, and had a positive experience overall, I was elated to stop by since I was closer to this specific area. I visited sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls in Sacramento, CA [1629 S St] on Sunday, 05/09/26, around 12:15 PM. For May 2026, the deal was still going on for the $12 Chicken Tostada Bowl. I had this bowl at the other location; it was so delicious that I had to order it again here while taking advantage of the offer. It was a literal win-win situation. I customized the Chicken Tostada Bowl with baby spinach, white rice, raw carrots, tomatoes, cilantro, tortilla chips, feta crumble, and antibiotic-free blackened chicken. I included an extra addition of the lime cilantro jalapeño sauce and sweetgreen hot sauce. I was pleased with the execution of the bowl. The ingredients were beyond fresh and locally sourced. The flavor completely satisfied my taste buds. The bowl was portioned greatly, and thus was fulfilling. I enjoyed consuming the bowl in front of the establishment outdoors. This location presented a nice, peaceful environment in the heart of Midtown Sacramento. The parking situation was a bit of a challenge, since the Ice Blocks development is known to be busy in general. I'd prefer visiting the location on Fair Oaks + Howe, for the reason that parking is much easier. However, the Midtown location is just as great and meets expectations. It's nice to know that I can visit, in case I happen to be in the area. read more

I wanted something healthy to drink after my workout and decided to check out sweetgreen. I looked up online and apparently their juices are cold pressed and high quality. I didn't want to order from the app and order in person to see how the service was, but upon arrival there was no one there to take my order, just an ordering kiosk. So it is best to order off the app for convenience. I've ordered off the app a couple of times and my food is always ready to go. Overall the juice came out a couple of minutes after ordering. I was very impressed with what I've ordered, which was Apples and Ginger. I can taste the quality of the juice, and the fact that it was under $4 was unbeatable. I would highly recommend this place for not only their food items but their beverages as well! read more

I pass by SweetGreen all the time and it seems like a spot that a lot of people go to. Location wise it's right in midtown and parking can be a hit or miss. Decided to finally check it out after my gym workout and I was pretty excited to try it. It's modern on the inside with seating and tables and you can see your food being made. It's a self order system, there's 3 tablets and you can choose what you want and they call you by your name , phone number is optional. I got the Steak Mezze protein bowl it sorta bummed me out because it doesn't even come close to what it looks like on the picture. The atmosphere inside also felt very fast and to have a more relaxed feel would be to sit outside. Lots of people waiting in the front and door dashers coming in and out . For the price of almost $20 it's not even worth it. It did taste great but the serving size was laughable. Wasn't satisfied at all in any way, I'm still hungry as I'm typing this. For all the fitness enthusiasts or anyone with a big appetite I'd recommend going somewhere else because it simply won't be enough food for you. read more

First time at Sweetgreen and I'm a fan! I'm glad they brought it over Sac - it's a great healthy option for the area. I also appreciate that they source ingredients locally and use eco-friendly products. The space is clean and well-organized, and you can clearly see how the ingredients are stored. Ordering is easy, whether through their app or the self-serve kiosk. I went with the Caramelized Garlic Steak protein plate and added a few extra toppings, which did bring the total up more than expected. The portion felt a bit small for the price, but the quality made up for it. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and really well put together--each bite was delicious and fresh. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu. read more

Our friend Cecilia has been raving about this place for a year now. She has even bought stock in the company. We saw one in SF the last time we were there, but weren't ready to sit down for a meal. Recently they opened up this location in the Ice Blocks, I had no idea it was there till I was on Yelp today looking for somewhere to eat dinner and it popped up. It's not located in the heart of the Ice Blocks near Shake Shake and Sees Candy. It's on S and 17th Street closer to Ernesto's Mexican Food. If you are facing Mendocino Farms go to the left of the building down the street behind Mendocino Farms and it's on the Corner of the next street. I'm sorry if I'm not describing the location well, but it's hard to find. We parked in front of Shake Shack in the metered parking. We used the parking app and paid around $3.25 for an hour. It was plenty of time as it's more of a fast food restaurant where you order using an app, you can pay with cash or card, they make your order and. You get a text when it's ready. If you choose to pay cash when the food is ready they check you out. When you approach SweetGreen you will see some outdoor seating. It was warmer outside than it was inside. When you go into SweetGreens they all greet you with a warm welcome. They have some tables lining the wall to the left. There have a sign directing you to the kiosks for you to order on your left. They have 3 kiosks and a menu on the wall that is digital. We sat down and looked at the menu before ordering as it was our first time there. Celcila recommended the Harvest Bowl so that is what we got. We left everything as is with the exception of the dressing. They said up to 3 so I choose 3. I though they would give you 3 containers of dressing so you could try them all, but instead they put all 3 dressings on the salad. I chose the one it came with, green goddess, and a ginger one. Thankfully the mixture was delicious. If you get the harvest bowl with out making any changes it comes with chicken, kale, sweet potatoes (I wish there were more. There was one big one then a sliver of one or two), red cabbage, goat cheese (They give you 2 scoops, it's very good, you have to scoop a little with each forkful.), apples (they said they were in there, but I didn't find any, roasted almonds (There were plenty of those, they added a nice crunch.), wild rice, 760 calories $14.45. I love the low Calories. We should have ordered 2 different things and shared them. Instead we ordered the one harvest bowl and shared it. Then we came home and split a can of soup so were were full after that. I really wanted to try the salmon protein plate. I really enjoyed the bowl. It was very tasty, but I really wish there were more sweet potatoes. I liked that they were warm on a cool winters night. The biggest con and why we didn't order another dish, even though I was ready to, was it was cold inside and my husband was uncomfortable due to it was cold and he even had a sports coat on. I agree it was cold in there and the cold air was blowing on us as we were sitting and eating. In the end I really liked the food, it appeared to be nutritious, and I try to be healthy so, yes I reccomend SweetGreens and I'd eat here again, but I would sit in another spot and hopefully it will be warmer. I saw some seats around the corner from the service area on the way to the bathrooms. Maybe it will be warmer over there. I went back the next day with my girlfriend to share a healthy meal together. She ordered the harvest bowl and got much more sweet potatoes than I did the day before. I tried the chicken and avocado bowl with kale instead of reg lettuce and it wasn't as good. Both had light dressing, but the chicken avocado was too light. Next time I'll order medium dressing. I would not order the Chicken avocado bowl again. It was just too plain even though this time I was able to see the apples as last night the harvest bowl I couldn't see any apples. read more

Finally tried Sweetgreen and I'm impressed. Sacramento needed a solid, fresh salad spot like this. Everything tasted super clean and high quality -- the greens were crisp, the toppings didn't feel skimpy, and the dressing actually had flavor (not watery like some places). I ordered a bowl with roasted chicken and added a few extras. The portion was filling without feeling heavy, which I appreciate. You can tell the ingredients are fresh, and it doesn't feel like "fast food" even though it's quick and efficient. The space itself is modern and bright, and the line moved fast. Staff was friendly and didn't rush me while I was deciding. It's definitely a little pricier than grabbing a basic lunch, but honestly, you get what you pay for. I'll definitely be back -- especially when I want something healthy that still tastes good. read more

I first tried sweetgreen in New York while there for a few weeks. I was tired of exploring and indulging and felt like a salad. Ever since then, I've been hoping they'd eventually make their way to Sacramento. IT'S TIME! I've now gone a handful of times, from the soft opening to weeknights and weekends. The staff is always happy to take the time to provide excellent service. I still haven't figured out a way to get three dressings on the side AND a slice of lemon for my Crispy Rice bowl, but they're always happy to oblige after I place the order! There's not TOO much seating, but I've also never seen every seat full, so it seems most people do takeout or eat quickly enough to turn over seating. Wouldn't recommend it for a big group, but if you're a party of 1-3 you'll be able to find seating without an issue. The food itself has always been consistently fresh, tasty, and enjoyable. The menu changes surprisingly often for a chain, and while my personal go-to is the Crispy Rice bowl, I've branched out a few times to the specials and haven't been disappointed. My partner always goes for some variant of the Harvest bowl and says the goat cheese is her absolute favorite part (and a discontinued basil dressing...hoping they bring that back someday)! Whenever I'm feeling guilty about eating out, especially post-dine-downtown, I usually make a trip out to eat a liiiitttlle healthier while still having that convenience of not having to cook or do the dishes. read more

Sweetgreen delivered a super smooth free pop-up event--well organized, efficient, and easy from start to finish. Quality ingredients, solid variety, and the 10-topping limit keeps bowls intentional (no chaos salads here). The automated ordering system makes it effortless to switch things up every visit, which I loved--perfect for a quick lunch or dinner on the go. Only note: I've noticed frequent outages, which can be frustrating given the tech-forward setup. That said, when it's running, it runs well. Fresh, fast, and reliable for everyday eats. read more

So so customizable and convenient. I know so many people would scoff at a salad as a meal, but this place will really make you reconsider. They pack their salads with proteins and great quality ingredients. I have never eaten a salad here and felt hungry afterwards. The service is quick and convenient, especially if you order online. The ambiance is a bit like a Chipotle, grab and go, but the entire establishment is clean and modern. I ordered a harvest bowl with sweet potatoes, wild rice, and chicken. Honestly, order what you think you will like and that's the best order. I did discover the spicy roasted broccoli as a fabulous addition too. I love their green goddess dressing and the pesto one. You can also order your salad to come with the ingredients mixed or not, spending on when you want to eat it. read more

New healthy eats in Midtown! sweetgreen opened their Midtown location in November, and it's been a great addition to the food scene in the R Street Corridor. I've been twice, and overall, I'm satisfied with their food and love their customizations. Portion sizes are generous, and both times I've had enough food to bring a second serving home. I've ordered the Garlic Parm Cauli Bowl and Harvest Bowl. The rosemary bread is a must, and it's complimentary with bowls, so make sure to add it to your order! I like that you're able to customize your bowls to your liking, but it can get a little cumbersome doing so in store at one of three tablets. There's essentially no service, and this is more of a grab and go spot, even though both times I've opted to dine in. The restaurant is clean and chic, and there's limited indoor and outdoor seating. Pro tip: if you create an account, order through the app to maximize your points! read more

As an East Coast girlie, I'm so excited to see that Sweetgreen has finally arrived to Sacramento. I ordered my favorite which is the hot honey chicken plate. I substituted the quinoa for two servings of the wild rice and got two to three hot honey sauces. My plate was absolutely delicious! I also ordered the hibiscus Berry tea for the first time and it was just okay. It needed to be a little bit more sweeter for my liking. As this location is on S Street in Midtown, street parking maybe a little tricky but I had no difficulty finding parking on a Sunday afternoon. The staff were friendly by saying hello when each person entered. It was easy to place my order on one of the iPads and my food came out fairly quickly. They have several seats indoor and outdoor if you wish to dine in. Also, get the sweetgreen app so you accrue points! Overall, can't wait to visit again soon and highly recommend if you're looking for healthy and delicious salads and hot plates. read more

I will say that being a loyal follower of "Sweetgreen" on social media for several years, the anticipation of one opening in the Sacramento area was a very pleasant surprise. I had been to one of their locations in the Bay Area as well as the Los Angeles area so I was no stranger to their concept. Located at the corner of 17th & S St's in the heart of Midtown Sacramento, this very popular salad company finally debuted on Wednesday 11/26/2025. I ended up coming here just a couple days later during the afternoon of Friday 11/28/2025 at around 1:30pm. This area can get a little tough to park as you are in close proximity to Ice Blocks as well as a Safeway store that is just a couple blocks away. As for their other locations, this rabidly popular company currently has around 250 brick-and-mortar restaurants in 24 states (as of late-2025). A second Sacramento location is located at Howe Ave/Fair Oaks Blvd (which opened in December 2025). In all honesty, I am quite surprised that it took this long for Sacramento to jump on the Sweetgreen bandwagon. As for the interior layout, this place offers limited seating (as many people take their salads to-go) as well as a dedicated pick-up area and a dedicated ordering station (similar to that of a Chipotle). I also wanted to add that there are two gender-neutral restrooms towards the rear of the building. Before dining here, I highly recommend downloading the Sweetgreen app (on Apple/Android devices) to help simplify the process. This is where they have "featured" bowls that are the most popular as well as salads, protein plates, sides, desserts, drinks, and kids meals. What I particularly like is that you can customize any bowl of your liking. Everything that ranges from kale, arugala, quinoa, rice etc. to veggies, nuts, breadcrumbs as a topping, and for premium toppings, they offer antibiotic-free proteins; chicken, steak, tofu, and much more. With the amount of creations that are available, the possibilities are absolutely endless. I ended up ordering (on the app) the "Steak Honey Crunch" salad; this consisted of caramelized garlic steak, tomatoes, garlic breadcrumbs, pickles onions, herbed quinoa, chopped romaine, and hot honey mustard sauce. I also opted for roasted sweet potatoes as a side. My lady went with their "Chicken Pesto Parm" bowl which also offered a ton of delicious, nutritious, and filling toppings. Total time it took from when we placed our online order to when it was ready took a total of 8 minutes. Once we made our way into the building, both our orders were ready with our names listed in bold font in the pick-me-up area. Now the most important part, how did this taste? I will say that all ingredients are fresh and with the amount of quinoa, greens and steak, the amount of fiber & protein kept me full throughout the entire afternoon. And for $18 (after tax), it was a bit on the higher end than what I'd like to pay but it was nonetheless a delicious salad. Interestingly enough, we both made no interaction with the staff as everything was done virtually through the app. They do offer recycled utensils & napkins while their trash bins distinguished metals, plastics, and compost items. All in all, "Sweetgreen" is a breath of fresh air to come to the Sacramento area as this area needs more healthy options. As I already had a general idea of what to expect, the food, location, and ambiance hit all the high notes. My rating, a perfect five stars. read more

Ordered to go for a pick up and it was ready as estimated. Half the restaurants tables were filled with people dining in. The to go pick up was off to the side wall, similar system as Panera Bread. There were only two employees, one in the front and one in the back. The clear tubed canisters will filled with salad ingredients, looks like that is where items are dispensed from. I feel like the amount of food, and quality of the food as described in the menu description, the price is pretty reasonable. I suspect because there isn't much labor or employees involved, therefore the pricing of the meals are able to be a little lower. The beef is hormone free and grass fed. The roasted chicken is antibiotic free. For that type of quality stated in the menu, the prices are reasonable. It is healthy and simple. Apple ginger was a little watered down to me, but still refreshing. Apple pomegranate was tart, to my liking! Very refreshing as well. They both tasted fresh and not sweet like canned or premade juice. I like it for what it is. Perfect for a quick healthy no fuss meal. I'm glad I can add this into my rotating restaurants for salads. I usually go to Mendocino farms or Buckhorn Grill. I hope they keep up the freshness in their ingredients. read more

First time here 3/6 Walked in read the sign that says " this way to order assistance " Told Lauren it's my first time but she seemed to be in a bad mood and was sending everyone to the kiosk . Maybe a short staff issues which could make sense for all the tables being dirty with crumbs on them . The food had good flavor. Even though they were out of many ingredients.The presentation was eh not like I was expecting. I satisfied my hunger even tho I had to look at unhappy workers which made it akward to eat there. read more

Finally!! I have been patiently waiting for Sweetgreen to make its way to the West Coast. I had the privilege of enjoying this fresh and delicious chain while living in Boston several years back and I am thrilled to see them make their Sacramento debut. I came for lunch with a friend on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Obviously parking down in the ice blocks area can be a bit of an adventure, but I managed to find a spot on the street out front. We placed our order at the self-service kiosk, and patiently waited for our food. I decided to order a miso glazed salmon salad, I don't remember the specific name,bBut each, and every bite was absolutely delicious! I appreciate the quality and freshness of the ingredients that they use and the concept of "eating out" not feeling like you're eating garbage. I cannot wait to come back and savor more of their menu. read more

Decided to go healthy and this place definitely smashes your chipotle cravings! I love that's it's located in the beautiful ice blocks so parking isn't too much of an issue. Service is always great and quick. You can definitely dine inside if you'd like or take to go the quality doesn't change from what I noticed. I'm a big fan of the variety of options they offer to customize your bowl. Plenty of proteins from chicken to steak they definitely do not skimp out on portion sizes! The sauces are also great and I'm a big fan of the green goddess sauce! I definitely recommend you check this place out if you're looking for a quick healthy meal. read more

So excited Sacramento has a sweetgreen! I have not had one bad experience here. It's SUPER quick, healthy, tasty, and the prices are great. Especially if you sign up for their loyalty program. I live just down the street and it's my new obsession!!! The workers are also really friendly. I only ever take it to go so can't speak to the atmosphere really. read more

Great concept and everything tasted good, but when I went they ran it of both types of rice, steak, and several other options. Ordering at the kiosk takes a while when each option you're interested in is missing an ingredient that requires finding a substitution. Other than that, it's a reasonably fast and healthy option for food in midtown, so I have no qualms about the food. The indoor and outdoor dining areas aren't much to speak of, but they get the job done with about as much style and practicality of a Chipotle. read more

Finally - A salad restaurant in Sacramento. I've waited years and now we have multiple locations. Everyone says this location has robots, I saw many humans working when they first opened, though most ordering is on a tablet. Can anyone post a photo of the robots? read more

Amazing! Fresh tasteful! And filling! I ordered the miso salmon bowl and added some of the spicy broccoli and balsamic charred purple cabbage. Delish! I didn't even need the sauce that was provided! Make sure you sign up loved the welcome rewards super worth the try! read more

First time trying Sweetgreen -- I was excited since I've heard good things. My customized bowl came out to $24, and this was the amount of chicken in this large bowl. When I showed them and asked for a little more, one employee initially told me yes, but after checking with a manager, she told me portions had been reduced "recently" from 4 oz to 3 oz and that I was free to purchase "more". For that price, I was definitely let down and won't be returning. read more

We absolutely love Sweetgreen! First discovered it in SF a few years ago and are so happy it's made its way to Sacramento. We're probably here at least once a week. Only complaints are that they're often slammed and/or out of ingredients. I think opening a couple more locations in the Sac area would be beneficial - Elk Grove, Roseville, etc. read more

Fresh, delicious food with lots of options. Ordered via DoorDash and was more than glad I did. I got the hot honey chicken bowl, with no modifications. It came warm and well packaged and everything in it was amazing. Don't skip the quinoa - it was so flavorful - unlike most times I've eaten it elsewhere or even at home. The serving size was large - enough for at least 2 meals. Fresh, well balanced ingredients at a great value. Awesome! read more

If you're looking for a great salad, this is your spot sweetgreen has delicious options, and it is fresh. What I noticed most was the greeting. I got walking through the door. Super energetic, and seemed authentic. There are some tight areas in this place, like heading for the cash register. Poor people in the tables next to that line. Really no room. Other than that that's the only thing I saw that was wrong. They have had a DJ playing music outside in the past, which I'm sure it may come back when it gets warmer. I'll definitely be coming back as a transition some of my eating habits. This will be one of my options... read more

Salad and the warm bowls were pretty good here. A little pricey, but I don't feel completely miserable after eating a bowl here.

I'm not really "a-healthy-food-for-lunch" kinda guy. But I knew somebody that worked there, so I thought I would give it a try. There were "warm" options to put in the salad, they offered so many varieties of options for the bowl, that I truly enjoyed the food there. I went there during the lunch rush, and I thought my food would take forever. But the food came out fast and fresh! I would go there again to try their other options! read more
