I ordered a salad and drink for delivery and never received the drink. I called the store and they confirmed they still had the drink there. When I asked for a refund for the drink I paid for but never received I was told to email an email address which I did. Over a week and another follow up email later, I still have not received a response. So if you order something for delivery from here be aware that if you get the wrong order or don’t receive your full order that they will not refund your money for items you did not receive. Edit—I have filled out the contact form on the website that you are suggesting. I have not heard anything since filling it out

A great elevated fast food experience if you’re looking for something quick and cute! The service was kind and efficient, and there was lots of available seating. Highly recommend the ‘Ahhh…Greek out!” salad! The agua frescas are great if you prefer drinks that are not too sweet.

This place is amazing! They had one of the best salads I ever had, (I ordered the crispy teriyaki), but everything my family ordered we loved! Superb design, very clean, great staff, very friendly manager too! Clean bathrooms, good location, I can’t even stress how amazing this place is!

Service was fast, but I just can't give more stars when it's order and pay at the assembly line. Food was fresh and the facility was clean. If there is a washroom here, it's hidden. Healthy options but has a fast, subway like vibe.

Great salads and bowls! We were looking for a healthy but tasty lunch and these guys have it! They put your food together right in front of you making sure the ingredients were exactly what you want! Super!

I finally went to Crisp & Green after resisting for 1.5 years. My rationale: how can any restaurant that sounds healthy be delicious? I’m sure it has something to do with my childhood filled with tasteless “healthy” meals of bran fiber and iceberg lettuce. On Tuesday of last week, I finally entered the premises due to time constraints and the convenient proximity to my condo. I was warmly welcomed and shown the “HOW TOs” by an enthusiastic smiley staff member. The Seoul Bowl filled my stomach and spirit with unforeseen delight. I went back on Thursday to recreate the experience with a friend and was not disappointed. The mushrooms were perfectly marinated, changing the texture to a plump chew. The tofu was as good as any chicken I have ever tasted. When I asked how the tofu was prepared, I learned that it was bathed in some kind of dreamy citrusy ginger magic. The combination of the spicy bibimbap & cashew dressing harmoniously brought all of the fresh ingredients together. I loved the balance of sweet and savory in this dish (echoes of many Korean recipes), with the vegetable crunchiness punctuating the creaminess. I left satiated and with a newly formed respect for healthy food.

I ordered an Imagine Dragon Fruit Bowl and it was handed to me while I was still in the line. The lady in front of me was having issues with her gift card and the person working the register kept arguing with her so my smoothie bowl was melting as I stood there waiting to pay. Once I got to eat it, though, it was pretty good. I asked for strawberries instead of blueberries which was nice they let me do that. I also appreciated that the bowl was gluten free. I wish the smoothie part would have been a little more flavorful. Overall I would eat there again and order something different.

I love how even when this place is busy, the customer service is as good as the food. Very clean and quiet atmosphere. I ordered The Bold and The Buffalo warm bowl and it was amazing!!!

Nice space, lots of dining area. It's on a corner in North loop, so there is really only expensive meter parking. My main gripe is that the salads just aren't that good. I have been multiple times, and there isn't enough lettuce to really fill the bowl (I sometimes ask for extra). Without eating the bread that comes with it you are still hungry. There is nothing wrong with the salads, I have just had much better. Not my favorite salad place, unfortunately. You can order ahead and for pickup, which is nice, but the app can be glitchy.

I think this is a local company with designs on being a competitor to Sweetgreen. (There's one of those a couple of blocks away, in the old Moose & Sadie's space. I wish it were still Moose & Sadie's.) I work right above Crisp & Green in this building but only just tried them for the first time. Pricey, but I liked it. I did a build-your-own salad, and the ingredients were super fresh and tasty, especially the seasoned chicken chunks. I got a jalapeno lime vinaigrette as well which was fine, but when ingredients are this fresh I tend to eschew dressing. I got a smoothie called Purple Rain which, cool name, decent enough juice drink, probably wouldn't get again for that price (close to $10). Very tasteful, spacious dining room. I like that they are available for pickup on Uber Eats. I'll get a salad here again because I work nearby, but if that weren't the case it would be hard to justify a trip at their prices. (edit: I bumped this up a star because I've been back a couple more times and they are very consistent, but also because I work in the building I see them having fresh ingredients delivered every day and it's obvious how serious they are about that.)

Salads are fine, I actually love them especially the seasonal ones but it's really really hard for me to justify paying almost $20 for a salad now days. When they first opened up it was affordable and fine and fresh and new but now with the way things are trending I just can't get myself to pay for the portion received. Stars for flavor and convenience, less stars for price!

The freshest food in the area. Whether you are looking for a bowl, wrap, smoothie, this is the spot. They also have great acai bowls as well. You can use the app to order delivery and they give you your 10th item free if you purchase in the app.

After seeking out the nearby Prince mural, we spotted Crisp & Green and stopped in for lunch. We shared a delicious bowl and a Fresca drink. Service was fast! Attractive, light and bright restaurant. Highly recommend for healthy and filling eats.

This place just appeared around the corner when we were exploring the downtown area, and we were so glad it did! I did a BYO bowl to avoid any allergy issues, and the options and flavors were great. It's hard to find healthy options for under $15 nowadays, so this is a place I'd come to all the time if I lived here. There's some street parking and a lot of outdoor seating. I made sure to take advantage of the great weather :) Additionally, the line wasn't long when I went, but the staff are super quick and efficient. I had my food prepared and paid for in under 5 minutes.

I can't believe this is so close to my work! Crisp & green has a beautiful, bright interior that invites you to eat in instead of taking out. The restaurant is very clean and all the ingredients are laid out behind a glass cover to prove the freshness of what you're eating. I got the fiesta bowl which was labeled as "fan fave" since I didn't really know what to get. It did not disappoint! The limey zest! The spicy burn! The mix to warm and crunchy textures! Its delicious and I feel healthy eating it. The portion seems decent for the price and another plus was that it did not take long to get my order. I know I will frequent this place and try other things - I'm looking at you Seoul Food - next time.

What a delicious and healthy establishment! I was in MN 3 years ago and I distinctly remember how FRESH and fulfilling the salads were! This place puts sweet green and tender greens to shame! Service is quick and efficient, produce is always fresh even on weekends and holidays! I had the Wild Child, Greek Out, Fiesta and Chicken Cesar salad all in my short stay! All healthy and fulfilling. Although I distinctly remember a salad with Edamame several years ago. Apparently they no longer make that version, which is a shame because it was my favorite one! We need this in California, would be such a major hit! Ambience is clean and modern!

Aghhhh why are their salads so dang good?! This is such a nice, healthy alternative that's just as quick as other spots in the area. Oh, and did I mention they have FREE PARKING and WIFI?! And how do they make their salads taste so dang good?? I love this easy spot in North Loop, but be warned - so does everyone else during lunch hour! It does get busy, but the line goes fast thanks to their incredible team. I have tried several of their salads and bowls, and love Chicken Caesar, Thai and Stop Me, and The Bold and the Buffalo the most. Their ingredients taste so fresh, and love seeing them mix it to perfection in front of you! Such a quick, fresh and healthy option in the North Loop area with wonderful service and tons of seating - inside and out.

This location is my go-to for lunch when at my work in North Loop! I love Crisp & Green's fresh salads as an easy lunch to pick up! This location is super convenient for anyone working in North Loop, however the line can get long and take a while if going at a peak time. This time I tried the Thai & Stop Me salad - packed with carrots, peanuts, shrimp, cabbage, etc. I love salads that feature Asian flavors and inspiration, but unfortunately this one fell a little flat. It might've just been this time around, but my salad was almost flavorless with little to no dressing. Also, the toppings on this one are a bit flavorless - I would maybe add on some heartier ones. I'll still be a Crisp & Green loyal - but might just switch my order!

We love crisp and green and have been going to this location for years! It's so convenient, and the salad/bowl flavor change up with the seasons is great! There is almost always a new bowl to pick or you can keep with a classic knowing it will be great every time. There is free parking that is designated, outdoor seating as well as ample indoor seating. WI-FI available too! Lately we have had issues however. We have been frustrated with the online order experience. We have arrived at or after the order time, and the order has not been started. We have noticed that people that are walking in to order are served before the online orders. We also are sad that quinoa is not an option on the menu anymore! We loved that for the grain bowls

Healthy AND tasty?! Not super common when it comes to quick meals you can grab on the go! Plus Crisp & Green has the option to sit in their beautiful indoor seating areas if you choose. I ordered via the app and it was ready right when I walked in. Warm roasted chicken atop endless freshness that was my no prob cobb signature salad. I split it into two meals and it was filling and just as tasteful the second day. Is the more expensive than a grocery store salad, yes. But the variety, quality, and freshness of the ingredients is possible through the slightly increased cost. My phone for sure ate first but I did capture a snapshot of what was healthy, tasty, yumminess! Will return!

Delish meals every time! My personal favorite is the chicken bacon ranch! Great meal size with great options would definitely recommend!

The vegetables were good, but the beef I ordered in my salad might have totaled two bites of meet. $18 for vegetables and a hint of meet is a steep price. I had to look to find any meat. There were tiny shreds of what I thought might be meat.

This was my first dine-in experience at Crisp & Green. I usually order pickup or curbside pickup. I would rate the takeout situation a solid 5 stars. A big part of my love of crisp & green is the customizable aspect. Unfortunately when I ordered in store, the protein switch I asked for didn't happen. I'm not sure if it's because the first person helping me didn't tell the next person, or if I was supposed to repeat it again. If it was the latter, I wish the first employee would've told me. (-1 star because I was really disappointed). This time I wanted to try a smoothie. Slightly bummed that I'm allergic to most of the options (coconut and pineapple), but that's a personal issue for another day. I ordered my smoothie, stood waiting at the counter for a while until an employee told me that they'll call it out when it's ready. I waited almost 20min for my smoothie. By that time I had already finished the portion of my salad I was going to eat. (-1 star). I would've appreciated a time estimate when I ordered at the minimum. The salads are delicious and fresh. I will be ordering again because the quality is top-notch, but I wouldn't consider dining in again because it was disappointing and stressful.

Stopped at this location for the first time for a smoothie with some friends. After ordering, they told me they don't take Apple Pay, which was inconvenient since I was on a walk and didn't have my wallet with. Then, after having my friend order mine for me, two of the smoothies came out pretty quick but then waited over a half hour for my other friends smoothie, who ordered hers on the app. The staff were fine, I would not describe them as overly nice or friendly, and they didn't seem to be in any rush to help us out. $17 for two smoothies is a little outrageous but that's the brand, not the location. On a positive note, once we got them, the smoothies tasted great. We walked, but there was a sign saying they had a parking lot around the corner. Also, plenty of seating available, inside and out.

Sadly this particular location that used to be clean and served the north loop well has gone downhill. Rude employees seemed bothered while a polite young woman waited for 15 minutes for a takeout order she could see on the back counter while people waited in line without being greeted. It was lull time around 3 pm but still, things were dirty and employees seemed generally not interested in serving anyone. My salad guy was great but he must have gone on break.

This place is what made me believe in salads. Before this I hated ordering bland boring lettuce and cheese. Crisp & Green has creations that combine unique ingredients to create delicious salads! I usually always order the "You Feta Believe It" but didn't realize it was a seasonal option. It must only come in the summer since that's the only time I'm back in Minnesota and able to come here. The feta really enhances the overall taste and adding strawberries to a salad is something I'd never think of, but it really mixes well! They also offer smoothies and warm grain bowls which I have yet to try. Once my regular order is out of season I'll have to come and try something new!

Crisp & Green is an upscale salad/grain bowl/smoothie chain that caters to the skinny model crowd with a good heaping of suburbanites. It is, however, one of few places in the North Loop to have healthy-ish vegan options. I got the Chef Curry grain bowl ($12) which is a giant heaping of brown rice tossed with a curry sauce, tofu and a few vegetables. It's tasty, don't get me wrong, but expensive given that it's 90% rice. The vegan crispy ($3), however, is a sinful delight and easily the best vegan rice crispy I've ever had. I wish they had more desserts like this at Crisp & Green. Stop by for an expensive salad or a smoothie after a workout while on the way back to your loft apartment.

Definitely a neighborhood go-to spot for a quick and healthy meal. I can eat that stuff everyday! Tried the soul bowl which is vegan. Loved the sauce.

I used to love C&G and now I merely like it. Dear owner: please don't change the menu so often. Bring back Cinco de Light, and get rid of the Sunny Honey Picnic. I tried the SHP and it was awful. The "normal amount" dressing was way too thick and tasted like garbage mayonnaise. The workers are excellent, though.

The menu is always fresh thanks to seasonal dishes, but sometimes that means that your favorite dish is gone until next season. The service and crew are outstanding. They are knowledgable and professional. Customers are immediately greeted upon arrival. I have been here dozens of times and have always had an excellent experience. I cannot say the same about sweetgreen down the street. I highly recommend this Crisp & Green.

I live in the area and when I am working from home, I often come here to grab lunch for my wife and I. This is popular spot as it is pretty much the only fast salad lunch place for miles, so it definitely gets busy at lunch time as a heads up. All of that said, the line moves pretty quickly. We always get the Wild Wild Southwest salad, but all of their salads are a big portion of greens and good amount of protein, too. We keep coming back because the quality of the food is very good and they are consistent in preparation - we always get a good salad every time we come. If you are worried about the lines, just get their app and order ahead. Problem solved.

I usually get the same salad with out a issue, today was awkward. When I went inside to correct the problem I was met with some of the most weirdest human service ever. I told Sydney that my order was inconsistent with what I purchased. I told her I was not looking to get refunded , just wanted to order corrected. She made it very uncomfortable and then tells me to wait for another person to talk to, she walks away. I wait and then ask the cashier what's going on, she tells me that the person I spoke to IS THE manager. Wth??? She then comes back , I ask her why she's being passive and what's going on. Nothing but a shrug. This is one weird place. It's fine I will be coming in and making big bowl orders and with my wallet in the car . Oppps. Wasted my money. Now I have all the days in the world to get my moneys worth. Good going . And yes i will do this at all your locations, and I will sign up to Uber eats etc and just so I can get your orders and shake the world out the salads for your clients .

Love having this as a healthy and quick lunch option in North Loop! Crisp and Green is a staple for me when I need a grab and go lunch. Ordering through the app is easy, and my food has always been ready on time! I usually like to try their seasonal grain bowl and salad rotations to avoid getting in a rut. The aloha poke bowl and Greek-type salads are fresh and filling in my experience! It's also hard to pass up their smoothies... Obviously it isn't hard to make a smoothie at home, but their pea protein and unique ingredients/flavors often tempt me! HUGE bonus points that everything for take-out except lids are compostable. Definitely makes me more eager to order again!

This is a solid option when you are looking for a quick, good salad. They have lots of toppings! I got the chicken caesar. I ordered it as it comes and added some roasted corn. It comes with romaine and kale. I would definitely skip the kale next time. It adds a flavor I did not like in my caesar, but to each their own. I also was quite unimpressed with the standard croutons. The are crusty bits of unseasoned white bread. They could improve here. That said, it is a solid and good option! The guy behind me ordered the buffalo chicken salad and I plan to try that and the feta one! One other mention, parking is tight over there so going during the lunch rush can be difficult. Best to go during non-rush times.

Wow. My partner had a haircut appt at Floyd's so I was hoping there would be something close by to grab something to eat. Just so happened that Crisp & Green was right next door. At first I was a little disappointed that it was a salad/bowl place. I had something more unhealthy in mind, but didn't want to leave the area. Had I known how amazing this place was, I'd have raced in there. The atmosphere is light and minimalist- very bright and clean and inviting - and the food... omg. I ordered the Fiesta bowl, which had brown rice, chicken, black beans, corn salsa, chips and grilled red peppers (and other yummy things). Then it was topped off with a mildly spicy red sauce and mixed with a mild jalapeño lime vinaigrette. It. Was. Amazing. Huge serving, super fresh ingredients and just so so delicious. There is a fruit infused water station with about 6 different varieties, all you can drink, and it was so delicious and refreshing. Customer service was excellent as well. We were super impressed and can't wait to go back!

I like Crisp & Green if I'm feeling guilty or unhealthy and need to load up on a fresh, clean meal. I was sad when they removed falafel from the menu because that salad was my favorite! I've tried a few others, including the Squash and the Kale Caesar. I've never been disappointed in the product quality. Their smoothies are good too. COVID protocols are pretty smooth- place your order online for either curbside or takeout. There is a shelf of orders ready to go near the register. The UX on their mobile app could use some work, though. Overall I recommend C&G for a healthy fast casual options!

Plenty of parking along both sides of the building. Look for the green "&" logo. I chose the Casablanca Chicken because who didn't like that movie? Starting with kale and arugula (super greens), quinoa( heck of a grain), roasted chicken, almonds, and chickpeas( proteins are covered), lemon juice ( for bite),golden beets, and currents ( get your sweets on), and a nice coating of Moroccan spiced almond dressing ( to gild the lily). Came away happy, healthy, and wise, while not breaking the bank!

Love the variety of options for salads. I have gotten their butternut squash soup, smoothie, and salads before. Butternut squash: I think this was a vegan options. It was my first time ordering savory vegan food. I had vegan cake from other places before and you can't really tell it was full vegan. For this soup, the taste was a little too bland for me since I am so not used to the taste. Smoothie: great flavors and lots of options that contains protein powder. They were filling - would be perfect for after workout or as a light meal. Salads: I have tried a few different signature salads before. They were all good. I love their options on the dressing. The shrimp was kind of bland. I would recommend chicken or tuna as a meat options. However, I think they are slightly overpriced. Overall, I would still go there occasionally and they have friendly staff.

After my subpar experiences at this North Loop location (I've had great experiences at the Wayzata location), the owner reached out to me after reading my reviews. I truly appreciate her responsiveness, so I accepted her invite back. At today's visit, I customized the Highcroft Harvest which usually has: kale, arugula, roasted chicken, quinoa, shaved parmesan, pepitas, apples, craisins, & apple cider pumpkin seed dressing. I subb'ed the parmesan cheese for bacon and subb'ed the pumpkin seed dressing for their green goddess dressing. Everything this time around was, well, crisp and green! I highly recommend this seasonal salad. I still stand by my previous review, but this experience bumped it up a star, plus I'm now addicted to their green goddess dressing.

I did a pick-up order using the app- it's located across from my gym and I was STARVING. I love the app because you can easily customize and the pricing is right there. I set the pick up time and it was waiting for me- super easy. I got the Thai salad again with Romain and extra dressing- amazing. It was so wonderful and all my shrimp were perfection. I don't know if I can try any other menu items because this was delicious and the components/flavors is like my fav thing ever.

No green in my crisp and green! I ordered 2 salads that I always order from a different location and when I opened my bowls there were literally 3 pieces of lettuce and barely any other ingredients. I called the manager to ask what happened and she responded we are cracking down on our portion sizes- if you want I can give you a refund on the lettuce but everything else in the salad is correct. This is not okay to me especially bc I spent $30 on 2 items. I asked if I could get a refund or credit and they said I have to email corporate. I then asked if there was an owner I could speak to and they said no. I will not be returning to this store. If you want a good experience, I recommend the uptown or chanhassen location. Edit- Kylie the owner emailed me right away and issued my refund. Thank you Kylie for being so understanding and rectifying the situation.

Not going to criticize the food because that was really quite tasty! I had a BYO steak salad. Here is the rub, this lovely salad cost me $16.00 and change. For lettuce, apple, steak, wild rice and dressing. This seems expensive even for downtown. Maybe it is just me, but I feel like this like not a great deal for an average salad. Just my opinion. ! Follow Up! Crisp & Green was very prompt in the follow up! I may have been accidentally overcharged. They are correcting and I feel very confident that I will return! Thanks Crisp & Green for awesome customer service! Stars are upgraded!

Favorite place to grab a salad in the North Loop! I work in downtown Minneapolis, so I don't usually make it over to Crisp & Green for lunch, but I frequently grab it for dinner on my walk home or stop in on the weekends. It can be busy at times, but the employees are quick and can handle long lines very well. The salads are amazing, as are the grain bowls--Very fresh ingredients and the salad combinations are fabulous. There's quite a wide variety of salad options, so you're basically guaranteed to find something you'd love. The employees are attentive to requests if you don't want a particular ingredient in your salad and they always ask how much dressing you want. My favorite salad on the menu is the Yacht Club, but sadly, I think it's been removed from the menu (not sure if it's seasonal or what). Crossing my fingers that they bring it back on the menu soon! However, I do really love the No Prob Cobb and the Chicken Casablanca as well. Lastly--they have a ton of seating inside and quite a few spots have outlets near them, which makes it great place to work or study for an hour or two while I eat. They even have a few outdoor seating spots, so if the MN weather happens to be decent, definitely take advantage and sit outside. Pro tip: they have designated parking in the lot next to the building and they have another lot with designated parking across the street. Pro tip #2: you can place orders online ahead of time and pick them up in order to skip the line. Awesome feature for people who are always on the run.

I love this idea -- chipotle-style health/vegetarian food. My first time here, I built my own bowl with brown rice, spinach and kale, cilantro, crispy chickpeas, cucumber, pickled onions, curry cauliflower, roasted yams, and moroccan spiced almond dressing. It was delicious, if I do say so. I know my way around a grain bowl. My second time, I had the Chef Curry 2.0, which was also delicious. Their infused waters are also super refreshing and not too sweet. I didn't find the prices too unreasonable, but if you're not careful when building your own, it could add up quick. It is probably also more expensive if you add proteins like steak and chicken instead of just veg proteins. But they do have a delicious selection of both meat and meat-free options. The patio is very nice and not too loud even though it is right by the street. If you go for lunch on a weekday though, you can probably forget about sitting on the patio. It is a zoo! The line was out the door when I was there at 1 on a Thursday, but thankfully the staff keeps the line moving quickly. When we went on a weekday evening, however, they were not busy at all and we had a nice, quiet dinner that didn't leave us feeling weighed down after.

Love this place!! There are very few fast food salad restaurants in the twin cities. I come here all the time. I love the Cinco De Light, Chicken Casablanca, and Chef Curry. The feelin falafel is also decent. Vibe and seating: They have WiFi, indoor and outdoor seating. Great for any size group. The chairs are a bit uncomfortable so it is not great for getting some work done before or after you eat. The one complaint I have is that they got rid of my favorite salad - the Northern Lights! Please bring it back!

Fantastic. I love that this is a chain. I'm all for salad after you've eaten your way (seriouslyyyy) through Minneapolis. So salad for dinner it was, and crisp and green is where it's at. I love salad bars that make it fresh for you right there. there's solid choices or you can choose to build your own. And they really do pack it in guys! The prices are comparable to what you'd expect for a salad place. Everything was fresh and delicious. The grain bowls were awesome! I had the curry one with brown rice, tofu, cabbage. All good things! The curry spice was decent, could have used a bit more salt. But it was a big portion and all the ingredients were delicious. My dad had the fiesta bowl and it was also super fresh and delicious. My mom had the northern light. Yum, the dressing is divine. Highly recommend! This place rocks! What to try: grain bowls!

DANG IT! You got me! After giving a trial to the Wayzata location and falling in love, I decided to give the North Loop location a trial...guess what...THEY HAVE PARKING! It is super accessible right off 394. I can literally run my errands, drive into the loop grab some yum yum and frolic off. I don't know when this place gets busy because every time I am there, there is never a line. The portions are always nice and bountiful so there is literally no reason to complain about the prices. Because it is a seasonal item I repeatedly order the highcroft harvest (WHY is this a seasonal item!). and I gave a try to venture out once to the Fiesta Bowl and it was DELICIOUS! Now I am wondering if I should re-evaluate my dinner plans to get a Highcroft Harvest tonight...

This place is great if you're looking for a quick healthy meal! I used to come here a lot for the A-ha Ahi Tuna Salad. Unfortunately, they've discontinued my favorite salad since they no longer have tuna available - what a travesty! Bring back the tuna!!! On another note, I absolutely love the purple rain smoothie. My favorite salad dressings are the Jalapeño Green Goddess and the Chile Lime Fresno Vinagrette. I often get both dressings on the side. I think the charge for an extra dressing is maybe 25 cents. My only complaint is about the "citrus shrimp." I've had it once and honestly didn't taste any citrus flavor. They were pretty small and looked like maybe they came frozen in a bag. I would love to see either a larger helping of shrimp added to the salads OR larger shrimp. I did not feel like it was worth the extra $4.25 (when building your own salad). Beyond that - the atmosphere and decor are beautiful! The staff has always been friendly. If you're familiar with the downtown salad scene (lol) you definitely need to check this place out because it's better than Green & the Grain and Greenfield. They menu is just flat out better. Enjoy!

Can not STAND this location. Employees are so slow so I order online, only to have to wait 5+ minutes for someone to decide to give me my order that's already done- what's the point of an online order system if you're going to do this?
