    Peri peri paneer quesadilla
    Megan P.

    I'll miss Istanbul'lu (former restaurant at this address) for a long time, but The Buzzin' Bean is an A+ replacement. We love having more fully vegetarian restaurants around, so we were very excited to see their "coming soon" signs. Went to the soft opening today and loved everything we got. The peri peri paneer quesadilla was what we were most excited to try based off the menu, and it's very solid - the star of it is the green chutney it's served with, which complements it really well. The veggie puff pastry was hearty, savory and fantastic - flaky and well spiced. (We finished it before the quesadilla came out, wish I had saved it to try the chutney with it, which I bet would be terrific.) The southwest sizzle bowl was surprisingly complex and incredibly tasty, with lots of different veggies. And I don't get mango lassis often but went for it- and found it lovely, had some subtle cardamom if I'm not mistaken. Service was fast, and staff was very kind. Very excited to come back and try more of the menu, especially the latte and chai options. Great addition to the neighborhood!

    Cute vibes, lots of chill saturday vibes, students working on their computers, card games, & gentle convos. The guy at the front was very helpful in explaining the menu and friendly. We ordered an iced matcha latte with lavender & a cold brew for drinks. Matcha was 10/10, cold brew could have had a little less ice. For food we ordered a blueberry muffin & avo toast. The muffin hit, but the avo toast had the fake avocado which we didn't love, but all the other ingredients were fresh. Will come again!

    Was pumped to try SG for the first time and was disappointed with my experience. I stood in front…read moreof the menu figuring out what I wanted for a bit and then walked closer to where you order and no one came to help me, despite there being 5-6 employees in sight. Eventually, I ordered a salad with no modifications so my order was straightforward. When it came to determining how much dressing the man should add, I said "a normal amount" and he is continued to ask if each squirt of dressing was enough. I walked back to my hotel with the salad and realized there was way too much dressing, but the salad was still yummy. I probably would have saved some of the salad for later, but it was sopping in dressing so I felt the need to finish it upon the 1st eating session. It was very delicious and filling and only 550 calories so I am really happy about that. In the store I noticed there were a ton of to-go orders stacked on the wall. So next time I would do a to-go order and simply pick it up. Which is probably what the staff is more used to but I'm not from the area and have never tried SweetGreen so I I didn't know I should order on the app. The space was cute but dead empty.

We ordered the Chicken Pesto Parm bowl and Chicken Avocado Ranch bowl... YUM! The Chicken Pesto Parm had a nice acidity and spicy kick with the hot sauce, but I liked the Chicken Avocado Ranch a little bit better for myself. It was super nice to not have to worry about how the food would handle delivery. I imagine it was just to aa delicious upon delivery as it would be in the restaurant.

I love that the bacon is thick so it was cooked through and well, and you had something to chew (not bacon flavored air chips. if you know, you know). I LOVED the crispy brussels sprouts with bacon, the flavors were so interesting and balanced, and the brussels were good very well. My partner had the black bean and pulled chicken and omelet. He says the flavors were good, but he would have preferred them separately, it didn't go together as well as he thought. The servers were lovely and fast, and the decor was modern with a comfortable feel. It was a nice day and the sun came through just enough from the windows that it lit up the restaurant in a good way. If you're thinking about it, I say go!

I had scoped it out during my Easter '25 trip when I last visited my kid, but getting a table was impossible back then. This time my kid came thru and snagged us a res. The place itself is pretty basic- not in a bad way- kind of an industrial vibe. The hostess stand was straight-up chaotic. Anyhow. I ordered the Chocolate Kiss French toast topped with fresh raspberries and whipped cream, but the coated crumb French toast was different. Not bad, just not what I expected. Word to the wise: this isn't the spot to go for something 'creative'. This is the spot to go for the regular French tst I think. My kid went with the 'Kitchen Sink', that included a pancake, eggs cooked your way, a protein (she picked the vegan chorizo), and hash browns(?). Our server, Myka (?), was super sweet and on point the whole time and my mango Bellini definitely hit. But yeah...I'm still dazed and confused about all the social media hype. The service was solid, the Bellini was good, but the food? It just didn't live up to the internet buzz for me.
