This wasn't in love. It's a good spot for healthy options but overall felt underwhelming. Veggies/toppings looked fresh but the proteins didn't make my mouth water. Test was just okay. This location was empty at the time but there are seating options and the setting seemed chill. I wouldn't try again as I've had better salad options elsewhere (ex. Doc Greens).

Today's salad had noticeably less let even eat the

I've been getting salads from Verde since 2020 and always felt like it was a treat -- something worth spending a little extra on for a fresh, quality lunch. Lately, though, it feels like the quality has gone downhill. Today's salad had noticeably less lettuce than usual, and to top it off, I found a small bug in it. Super disappointing. Not only did I waste $18, but I couldn't even eat the salad.

This is my go to in terms of Charleston "chains." I always get the Farmer's Market chopped salad and substitute the sweet potatoes for chick peas. I had the peach oitaya lemonade today, which was outstanding. Always the freshest ingredients and best service. Buy 10 salads and get 1 free is another added perk. I also see grab and gos popping up! Even at the airport! This place has a hipster vibe with compostable and recyclable options. Check it out!

Nothing like a Verde salad on a boneyard beach

I've been to a few Verde locations. There's not much difference between them, but there is a big difference between their menu based on the seasons. What was in when I visited was a "deconstructed spring roll" with such niceties as kimchi, glass noodles, peanuts, and some Heron Farm sea beans. I don't normally order the preset menu options at fast casual restaurants, but here, there was still a fair amount of customization, and I was able to get mine over my choice of greens and add some mint leaves for an even more dynamic flavor experience. Overall, the salads here have a ton of good options, and you can get them chopped in front of you for extra freshness. The ingredients offer both excellent nutrition and a local flavor. There's always something that seems uniquely local, and with the regular rotation, there's plenty of reason to stop back in. They're pricey salads, but it seems worth it to me on a vacation when I really need to find an excuse to eat something healthy and leave room for dessert, but I also want something that's special in and of itself. What was notable about this location is that it was on the road leading to some of the (fantastic) outlying islands of Charleston like Kiawah and Edisto, which are largely residential enclaves that don't have a ton of food (and definitely not a ton of vegetarian food). So why not pick up a bowl on the way? It's very convenient. I texted in and had mine brought to me curbside and was on my way. And it's hard to imagine what better food I could have brought with me to the beach.

Arugula, spring mix, roasted Turkey, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, and power seeds, with green goddess dressing!

When you want a fresh and loaded salad, this is the spot! I love being able to custom make my salad and alll the great options they have. I also love that you can get it chopped! Their vegan green goddess dressing is DELICIOUS.

Southern Harvest salad.

Yes, when you go in here the first time, the narrow seating is a bit off-putting, but then you see on the wall a very large painted but artistic arrow saying "Start Here," yes that is what you do, go to the back section of the long counter. The person making your salad is there behind the "sneeze guard" where you can see the freshness of their ingredients. The most difficult thing to do here is to choose what salad you want. It is all fresh and even the protein is not frozen, but cooked in their back ovens and brought out. Up on the wall are the options. Look up and far to the right for any specials for the day. Today, was the Southern Harvest salad (a standard and not a special) for both of us, prepared in front of us, and when all is in the stainless steel preparation bowl, it is chopped up with what looks like (well, at least to me) a double pizza cutter. It starts with Mesclun which is a mix of assorted young salad greens that I understand originated in France. Add to that roasted chicken (small pieces to blend in with the greens), apples )also small pieces to be easily blended in), and croutons which are unusual in that they are cornbread (but crunchy) croutons. All of this is mixed and chopped up in the stainless steel bowl and then put into a plastic serving bowl which comes with a top in case you are taking it home or to the office. The dressing (on the side if you choose) is sweet tea vinaigrette and is the best you have tasted. And, before I forget, you can have the salad served as a wrap, but not for me today as the salad is so good that a wrap (at least in my mind) would make it less delicious. If you have not been here before (this was my second time), you owe it to yourself to eat something which is both delicious and healthy. ENJOY!

Salads are huge and so delicious! The staff were super friendly and very efficient! Will be returning VERY soon!!

My last few salads at Verde have been an improvement over past experiences. A friend who is new in town wanted to try it a few weeks ago, so I joined her- and she's hooked now. Last week, I stopped in to pick up dinner for my husband and I, and he loved his Cobb on King, especially the homemade dressing. My Farmer's Market salad with added shrimp was really good, and you get a LOT of shrimp for a very small upcharge (only $3.50). I've always gone inside and ordered signature creations, so I can't comment on online orders or catering. Verde's staff are always nice about modifications, like swapping out the types of cheese, switching the meat for tofu, or adding an item. The salads lately have filled up the bowl and been full of high-quality ingredients. I'm excited to go back and try this summer's seasonal creations, too.

Kale and spinach salad

This is my first time trying this place back ever since I had the horrible incident of an employee ringing up items on a salad that was not on the salad and call me a liar when I called him out about it with my mom. Even after offering to pour the salad out. That's was over a year and 1/2 ago. Needless to say I was in the coffee shop near by and needed lunch. Very hesitant to go in. Some people are nice here, some aren't. One person looked at me weird at the register when I asked for a correct ring up and still did not give a recipe upon leaving. I didn't have the energy to go back. The salad was good nothing spectacular. It's so true that a place can have the best food, but if customer service is off you can't enjoy it.

I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
Jay B.

So I'm a Verde regular who orders and eats here a lot and that's not an understatement. Downtown, Belle Hall, and the Mt. Pleasant locations I never have any issues with my orders. The Avondale location is another story. This location consistently always forgets something or there's an issue with my order and this last order was no exception. I convinced my coworkers to eat healthy and order from DoorDash to have Verde delivered to our job. When it arrived some salads had no meat or very little, extra dressing was missing, and one of my co-workers ordered a cookie and it arrived broke in 20 pieces. The meat and extra dressings we were charged for and for it not to arrive and our salads not being made right just blows. I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Missing veggie patty!

I ordered two bowls online. Buddah bowl and unbeanlievable bowl. I am so happy I checked the bag before walking out. The buddah bowl was missing broccoli. I also added falafel and it was a mess and all crumbles. The unbeanlievable bowl had no veggie patty. I asked and they gave me a sprinkle of crumbles in a plastic container. I mentioned to the employee that this is not what the website described the patty to be and she said she does not know what the website says or shows. I added tofu to both bowls and it was expired/had a fowl oder. I am highly disappointed and feel foolish. How could I pay this establishment $33 for two bowls for it to be treated so with this much neglect and unprofessionalism. Verde please get it together. Update - thank you to Verde and your team for responding quickly and making things right through email. I am pleased with how fast the response was and the resolution. As a foodie, I would give this place another chance because they obviously care about customer experience. Thank you again for hearing me out.

Oh this place is a gem! I signed up for a Shift Pilates membership recently and got a free…read morespecialty drink so I decided to try this place after my workout. I am not the biggest fan of café food but I was hungry. I got the Tiger Chai Latte and the breakfast burrito (add bacon). Both were diviiiine. Divine I tell ya. I thought I wouldn't like the chai latte because it would be too sweet but the first sip was just magical lol! It was perfectly balanced and so creamy and smooth. It tasted like sipping velvet. And none of the flavors were overpowering. I asked the barista how they got it so creamy and she said they steam it first and then she gave me a whole history lesson on chai tea vs chai lattes. Then the egg burrito.... It has a hash brown which gives it a crunch, plus it has sautéed onions and an aioli sauce that ties everything together. So so good. I came in to try the mushroom toast but changed to the egg burrito at the last minute but I'll be back here everyday after class for awhile lol. I will say the cafe is a little loud so I can't see myself actually working here because I need a less stimulating environment for the type of work I do. But many others were. It's still a good place for meeting up with someone for coffee or to grab a bite.

I finally got to experience this ultra chic cafe in West Ashley a few days ago. What a great coffee…read moreshop. They use Riptide coffee beans and make delicious coffee drinks. We also had Mushroom toast (a first for me) ... it was outstanding. I loved it, full of flavor & umami. My daughter had Avocado toast which was also great. The staff are so nice and eager to ensure that the best service is provided. The cafe is cozy, chic and inviting with a mix of seating areas. Wifi & window views. They have parking out front. We will definitely return to this great spot.

Location: within a walking distance from kings street…read more Service: everybody was incredibly friendly and our food came out pretty quickly. Atmosphere: has indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of plants and gives a cozy small coffee shop vibe. Food: Got the avocado toast, whipped ricotta toast and iced vanilla latte. The iced vanilla latte was really good, smooth flavorful. The avocado toast was fresh and the lime wedge definitely brought a lot of flavor. The whipped ricotta was very tasty and was not too sweet but had some jam and pistachios on top. Parking: didn't see parking but it is a close walking distance from kings street which is the main area to shop and walk around. Also, a lot of cars park on sides of street

I came here on a local recommendation and Babas did not disappoint!…read more What a beautiful location with a kind, helpful team. The ambiance was lovely and there was just enough room to snag a table and work for a bit while also taking moments to people watch. I asked the server for a coffee recommendation and was told that the honey whipped espresso or the peanut drink were very popular. I ordered the honey whipped espresso and a cappuccino and both were delicious. The espresso was severed over ice with whipped milk foam, and just enough honey to add flavor but not over power the coffee. And the cappuccino was a lovely standard as well. After sitting a bit, I ordered a ham and butter baguette. The bread was perfect- crunchy outside and soft inside and the ham and butter were tasty- a nice through back to something I would've eaten as a child, but elevated. Overall, great experience. Keep it up Babas!
