sweetgreen

First sweet green experience went great. Ordered pickup and was worried might not have all the ingredients as others reviewed here. It came with everything and tasted great.

Service and atmosphere are great. Food is usually finished very fast. My only issues are with the portion sizes , I wish you got a little more meat for the price you pay for it. Getting a bowl is usually around $20 and there isn’t much meat in it. Other than that this place is great if you are looking for a healthy meal that won’t make you feel gross.

Wasn't greeted when I came in and the bowl with tax came out over a little $18 (was $16.65). They called out my name wrong and the salad is just sad. I got the Autumn Harvest bowl and it's just kale and rice. There's like... a handful of chicken and the other toppings. I also opted for the dressing to be mixed in and it wasn't. Why wouldn't you just make it yourself with what you get? The store is also set up in a confusing way. The flavor itself isn't bad but I don't think I'll be coming back.

I just went in for my first time, and I don't know how much Dennis gets paid but it's not enough. That guy is awesome! Really great experience as well as such a clean nice restaurant. Absolutely what you want from a place like that

I learned about SweetGreens while watching a CNBC segment at work during lunch. The vegetarian centric establishment sounded interesting. But I was always hesitant about such franchises as a dietary option. Because from personal experience salads have been more sides than a filling option. Guess what, my opinions turn out to be true. While walking to kareoke one evening, I discovered a SweetGreens opened in my neighborhood. I said to myself, maybe on the weekend I would go try it out. After some grocery shopping I stopped in excited to place my order. I was reviewing their menu on their website and was attracted to the well put together bowls. But don’t let those marketing images fool you, it’s nothing like that and what you actually get in the bowl is the ‘wish’ version of what you see on the website. I ordered autumn harvest bowl and kept everything intact except for the almonds, apples and kale. Instead I substituted with romaine lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. The order was prepared quickly which was a pleasant surprise. Although, the store was next to empty. My thinking was with the wild rice, chicken, this would be an awesome lunch that could fill me up enough to potentially skip dinner and maybe just have a small snack for the rest of the evening. The total came out to about 21 dollar, tips included. Far cry from the advertised $17. Your bowl is brought to you suspiciously covered up, so you can’t really tell. But my first red flag was how light the container felt. As soon as I got home opened it up, yep, it was an unappetizing wa-wa-wa. The radiant, eye catching ingredients you see on the website, looks like someone’s left over scraps from 2 weeks ago or someone’s half eaten salad they gave to you out of pity. Here I was thinking Chipotle finally had some competition but it’s quiet the opposite. The blackened chicken was some tiny scraps that were hard to decipher. In fact I don’t even think it’s real chicken, could be some ‘beyond meat’ imposter. Those chunks of sweet potato you see on the website are thinly sliced chips - another bait and switch. The wild rice was probably two table spoons, hidden beneath scraps of romaine lettuce and mysterious balsamic vinaigrette liquid. It’s now 7 PM my stomach is grumbling like a mad man, saying ‘feed me Seymour’. Thankfully, I had an extra beef patty I bought at Trader Joe’s and half a challah bread I can make up for the deficiency of this farce I wasted money on. If I had gone to Chipotle, I would have certainly spent less, got a decent bowl with rice, beans, generous serving of protein, vegetables including guacamole for nearly 8 dollars less. I certainly learned my lesson and will be avoiding these up and coming establishments. SweetGreens might be a perfect fit for those in a certain income bracket, but all the ingredients could be purchased at your local QFC with multiple servings to last you a week. It’s not about convenience, because this is a neighborhood with an abundance of groceries that supply all the ingredients that make a SweetGreens bowl in walking distance. So it’s not like you are exerting tremendous energy to get the food and prepare it. SweetGreens is ultimately a sign of the times we are living in and reminder that the value of eating out is further becoming a pointless social activity because shrinkflation is the new norm.

Today was my third time visiting and I’ve made a point to visit at different times for lunch and order different salads as well. Each time, I’ve had to wait an extra 20-30 minutes because they have to heat up more protein. Today was almost 30 minutes- my entire lunch break. My order was supposed to be ready by 1:40, and I didn’t get my salad bowl until 2:07. If your order includes chicken, you don’t get that much in your bowl, despite paying almost $20 or more. I wonder if they are giving out less meat to avoid running out as fast. There were 5 other people with me who were also delayed because their order included chicken. The offered substitutes: mushrooms or avocado. Not an equal substitute in cost or in nutritional value.

I came to grab food before my flight my friends bowl was ready mine wasn’t even when the kiosk said in 8 minutes, we ordered at the same time. I asked them nicely to expedite it and they offered another option to speed it up. I still had to wait even more. Then the other person Frankie was saying that we can’t offer substitutions and you have to wait for the queue. She didn’t offer any help or conversation just came to cancel my order. And I quote her “ you guys don’t see how busy we are” Extremely unprofessional and incompetent, not a very good look for a new restaurant. I work in food service as well and know how a customer should be treated, this wasn’t the way. I’m going to my flight hungry.

We ordered two bowls and both came out wrong despite a very long wait for a salad. The first was a Shroomami bowl that was missing the mushrooms entirely (??) and they completely forgot the dressing The second was missing half the toppings we ordered. Super disappointing for the price.

Make sure to download their app if you are wanting to rack up points for some free items down the road. Self-service ordering on the tablet. My harvest bowl looked nothing like the image on their website as I think they made it upside down. Kale kale kale was all I saw with a few things in between and an ice cream scooper for the goat cheese. Once you mix it yourself, the taste was fine. Busy area next to the park. When we went, there were 2 groups of people sitting in the dining room eating. Several people picked up their to-go orders.

I've ordered here from door dash a few times, and recently came in for pickup to save some $. Sweetgreen has quality ingredients and pairings and I see now that the facility is high quality too. They get orders out fast but also with care. There was an unmistakably fresh ambiance the place radiated with. One of my favorite choices in Capitol Hill!

So excited there's a sweetgreen in Capitol Hill now! I had only been to a location in LA, so was excited to see a few locations sprouting up around Seattle. Everything is unexpectedly self service, but ordering is easy and service was super fast, thanks to the "Infinite Kitchen." Inside seating is somewhat limited, mainly because the kitchen/salad maker seems to take up a ton of space. It's entertaining to watch all of the salads being made and mixed as you wait. Salads and bowls were reasonably priced, as the portions are pretty big. With the addition of the bread (which is pretty plain on its own), one salad could easily be split into two meals, imo. Tried the chicken avocado ranch salad which was pretty good! They give you an entire half of an avocado!! It inexplicably had a scoop of white rice in it, so it felt extra filling. Looking forward to trying a more traditional type of salad next time. Even though you aren't ordering from an employee, everyone seemed very welcoming!

I've heard a lot about sweetgreen from coworkers in New York. I was excited to hear that cap hill was getting one! As soon as I walked in I was mesmerized by the chutes of fresh produce. Sweetgreen has some great branding and everything about their store and marketing emanates fresh, ethical, yet casual and friendly. They make it clear it's not just for people who eat salad every day (which is not me). It didn't hit me to consider this franchise a fast food but it definitely is as hot food was ready for pickup within 5 min! Ordered the hot honey chicken bowl and replaced the quinoa with wild rice. It boasts of blackened chicken but I would really go as far as describing it to well cooked seasoned chicken. Not complaining but the visuals compared to the photos were a little off. Nevertheless this bowl is really good!! The chicken was super flavorful, kinda southwest style, and the purple cabbage slaw was cold and crunchy, not too heavy on the cream and evenly dressed. I really liked the crispy onions with the wild rice and the hot honey mustard brought everything together. If you're not a salad person this might be the option for you! It was hearty, tasty and I felt good eating such a balanced meal. I just know I won't be risking any digestive issues compared to other lunch options I might have lol. I would definitely get this again. Also they have a promo code for first time mobile orders so get your first bowl $5 off!

Cool Sweetgreen location with the full menu and interesting lantern decorations featuring stylish cartoon character designs. Relatively roomy inside and great service too. Check it out in the Capitol Hill neighborhood!

Love this place! One of my go to places for grabbing quick dinner for work. Service is fast. I usually get the shroomami bowl with added sweet potato and extra miso sesame ginger dressing. This bowl is pretty filling for around $16. Sometimes I add some extra protein in the form of blackened chicken for around $20 total! Give this a try if you are in the neighborhood, game changer for salads. Have also tried the chicken pesto parm which was also solid!

There was a lot of seating and really fast service, I ordered online but was able to change my kale salad to an arugula salad lol. Honestly, sweet greens does not have the biggest portions, but I think it's definitely something very fast and convenient. Usually I get the sham, but I tried something new with the kale Caesar and I think I found my new favorite!

Sweet Green just recently opened in Capitol Hill and it's a hit offering a much needed healthy alternative to the area. Each item is unique and meets a variety of taste palettes and diets. Each team member is pleasant and helpful and the space is open concept, tons of natural light, while being unique and colorful.

I whole heartedly agree with the ratings on this location. I popped in because I was coworking with creators across the street and needed a quick to go food situation that wasn't full of grease. All the girlies raved about this place but I was a tad underwhelmed. I love a good Cobb salad but it was really hard for me to narrow down a salad choice this go. I settled on the Buffalo chicken bc it was considered high protein. Im not a fan of kale and this bad boy was loaded with it. I didn't really taste any specific flavors that made it stand out as a Buffalo chicken. It was just wet tasting. I went ahead and ate as much of it as I could. The kiosk are self serve so you put in your own order and the credit card option never registered and they were pretty busy calling out orders but it was a known issue you had to press cash and wait to have staff ring you out. Not really a promising start to finish operation. It's all fairly young staff so the overarching need to give you a heads up lacks. But the salad came out pretty quick just a few front of the house service issues but overall ok. Not my fave salad at all.

Nice people, but messed up my order now twice, missing the protein both times and at least one other ingredient. I'm not paying $15-20 for some kale and sweet potatoes. I won't be back.

Lots of folks I know outside of WA rave about this place and I was super excited to try it. Everything was just below average... I had the harvest salad with chicken and thought it was a pretty mundane salad. It came with little to no dressing, the greens were wilted, and the chicken tasted funny... it tasted like processed meat. The pictures online do not look like anything you get in real life. Service during lunch was slow and pricing was on the higher side with the total being close to $20 for a subpar salad.

I love their buffalo chicken salad! I sub the blue cheese with goat cheese and add green goddess dressing. It's delicious and always ready super fast!!

I was really loving Sweetgreen and was there at least once a week. But then things seemed to go wrong. Last week my usual Hummus Crunch was lacking cucumbers, which is fine because they posted that ahead of time, but then they told me after I'd paid there were no breadcrumbs. So no breadcrumbs and I still paid the full amount. Today I slogged down there in the pouring rain, picked up my Hummus Crunch and left. I got home, opened my bowl and I have no clue what I got. It's loaded with beef or chicken, which I don't eat, it's got carrots and it's absolutely dripping in salad dressing. Plus there's two more containers of dressing and a container of hummus on top. What a mess. I'm super disappointed. I don't have time to go back and the rain is really coming down. There went $15 down the drain. I will never go back to this place again and don't recommend it.

Terrible robot service, confused human service - asked 2x to check on order, both servers asked me to make a substitution (ok) and added order to end of queue Took 30 min for what was quoted as 3 min Adding 2nd star for a manager who was finally able to help at end

Robot bad... Robot took 20 minutes to make salad that human would've taken 4 minutes to make... Sweetgreen makes me feel afraid to bear children into a world like this

I work in Capitol Hill so I'm excited to have another fast, healthy take-out option for lunch. I checked out the menu online first and the online menu makes it very easy to select allergens you may want to avoid and flags the items that contain those ingredients. The touch screens in store also make it really easy to customize your order. You can even choose if you want the dressing on the side or mixed in. The process of ordering & paying was super quick and easy, no human interaction required so it's perfect if you're an introvert. There were a lot of orders coming out ahead of mine, but the wait wasn't long. The Infinite Kitchen came as a surprise. I wasn't expecting a robot to make my lunch, but it was kind of cool to watch and l would imagine the dispensers probably cut down on cross contamination if you have food allergies/sensitivities. The food was tasty and healthy, exactly what I was looking for. When my food was ready, the warm ingredients were warm and the leafy greens and raw veggies were on top so they didn't get cooked or soggy. It's a large portion and most of the bowls have a mix of veggies, carbs and protein so it's very satisfying. Looking forward to going again soon and trying other menu items. The ambience seems a little sterile and utilitarian but it seems like most people are ordering for take out anyway. And most importantly, everything looked very clean.

Compared to other sweet green locations, the food looks spat into the bowl for some reason. Also, later order time is not honored. It wasn't busy for a Sunday morning but all that along with missing sweet potatoes makes it seem unnecessarily rushed. The food doesn't come out hot as is, so please look into the faulty timing. Aside from that, it's still a quick, healthy and tasty option that is very customizable. It's also nice to have the option to order on multiple screens at the counter and have it out in ~5min.

Food was great. I thought the portion was perfect. It was all self serve. Inside there was a decent amount of seating (20 people or so) and well lit

When I tell you I am so mad. The amount of idiocy behind the counter today. First of I all I waited FOREVER for my order. I ordered $30 worth of food and got absolutely nothing I asked for. I ordered 2 portions of everything and I was not given that by any stretch of the imagination. The only thing they gave me was sweet potatoes and a tiny little sprinkle of everything else. Then I was fed some BS story about how they had to flip it over into another bowl, proceeded to stir it up in front of me effectively ruining my food, covered it with a piece of bread hoping I wouldn't notice and then refused to remake the bowl. I am absolutely livid and my day has been ruined. I hope the girl behind the counter steps on lego and gets a splinter in her fingernail.

Fast food better. Healthy and fresh. Select from their standard salads and bowls or customize your own. As you make your own the price and calories are updated Immediately. In 3 minutes your Togo order is ready. 14-20 is not bad for a large custom healthy meal. Eat in or Togo.

I used to love this place when they just opened. Everything was fast and delicious. Not sure what happened in the last few weeks but it has made a turn for the worse. They continuously ran out of stock during lunch hour (how can that happen?). And they don't get the bowls out fast. Do they need more employees? I'm going to think twice before I come here again.

If I could give less than zero stars to this place I would, I don't recommend this place at all, please spend your money somewhere else. The food, the service is really bad. The bowl doesn't look at all like the pictures and it is absolutely worst compared to sweetgreen on the east coast. They are out of almost all the ingredients, we waited 30 minutes to get two bowls even though the place was empty. The bowls look unappetizing and poorly assembled didn't justify paying $26 for a bowl that looks like that. I never do reviews but this place was so bad that I had to post a review.

Soooo yummy!! Fresh ingredients and made quickly. Perfect amount of salad dressing too.

Ripped off. So little in the container that you could see the bare plate underneath. ONE piece of sweet potato, maybe 10% of what's shown in the product photo.

Wasted 35 minutes waiting for fries AFTER placing an online order and getting a message saying it was ready. Never going back again.

Disgusting employee, no respect for customers I waited for my order 30 minutes every 10 minutes asking where it is and on me with a bad tone said that they will call me when it will be ready and in the end they turned out to give my order before my arrival to someone else. Since this happened I asked them to check if my order was in the queue instead they just rude me.
