sweetgreen

Best SweetGreens in the District, for two simple reasons: 1) the portions are very generous; 2) the staff is very friendly. I find it remarkable how much SG locations differ in these regards. You don’t have to take my word for it. Simply look at the average ratings. Now, please, don’t make this one worse, but do make the other ones better!

Great selections, especially for dietary needs (gluten free and vegan). Love a delicious, healthy, and quick option for lunch. Nice staff as well- thanks!

The PM team especially Shequita did such an incredible job. I work in hospitality helping manage and oversee a hotel and I know how hard of a job serving and catering to others needs can be. It can be a very thankless job. When I ordered there were certain ingredients that were not prepped… Shequitas first response was “i need to chop a few apples, allow me a moment” a lot of people in similar circumstances may reference that they are out or try and get someone to order something different but she was willing to go the extra mile to make it correct. Due to the time it took when I got to the register she immediately offered $2 off. She anticipated my needs and she truly shined! Durrell was working right along side her as well and was helpful and taking care of others so that Shequita could focus on my order. The PM shift is hard. Just a huge thank you to all that help take care of others. It’s the team that continue to be a huge reason why I come back to sweet greens and allowing team members to take the initiative and be empowered with tools to fix needs can make all the difference! Keep it up Sweetgreens!

This order has made me give up on sweetgreen. This $11 order (no protein or extra cost ingredients) is so empty it looks half eaten. There is a full 1/2 cup of puffed rice topping, at least, most of which was at the bottom. And this is fluffed. I don’t know if it’s just this location or company wide serving sizes but I’m not trusting sweetgreen for quantity again.

Delicious food. I usually make my own salads. They make for a good, hearty meal and their bread (especially when warm) is delicious.

Nice and healthy food. Pleasant workers. In a week I repeated several times.

Love this place!! First time there and I really wish that we had one in Lancaster, Pa. Does anyone know how to get in touch with them and ask them to come to Pennsylvania? I would be going there a lot. Vegan friendly and very tasty.

Food was great here! Great healthy option. I did the protein plate, and my partner did the salad. Our meals were great. Service gets a 4 star. The gentleman was very kind and very helpful, but the lady with the red hair was very very short, and seemed like she did not want to be working at all. Very rude at the register, and was not welcoming at all. The gentleman did make up for it though, and was great! Still gets a 5 star because of the food

I enjoy sweetgreen because it offers fast, healthy options that are also delicious. The DuPont Circle location was bright and clean and the staff, while not overly warm and fuzzy, worked quickly and efficiently. The BBQ chicken salad I selected was very tasty. My only complaint is that the bread is quite hard. Only the very middle is worth eating, and even that consists of approximately three bites. sweetgreen is a favorite of mine and I'll return to this location in the future.

Loved it! Yummy and quick service. Reminds me of Chop5 in Columbus Ohio. Limited seating.

I am faithful customer of the sweetgreen on the West Coast, but it was fantastic discovering it in DC! Same restaurant, same freshness, friendly staff! Just the bread was different, but still good and fresh!!!

I really enjoyed my salad. It was fresh, not too much chicken, they added extra beets for me and the dressing was just right! They don't charge extra for avocado, and the container held shut through me walking to the metro and through the airport. I'd come here again! Service was great too

Was disappointed that their water dispenser was broken and the server wouldn't give me a glass of tap water, even though they have plastic cups and a faucet. She said my only option was to buy bottled water. Uh, no. My option is to go somewhere other than Sweetgreen for future meals.

Usually worth the price, thanks to fresh ingredients and convenience. Last night my husband and I got the dregs of their remaining ingredients for our 8:15pm order though. His modified harvest bowl was missing rice, and my modified buffalo chicken salad barely had any chicken. Different locations can mark what they're out of on the app, but this location didn't say they were out of rice or chicken. It would be better if they marked their inventory appropriately or simply closed at 8pm instead of pretending to be open until 9pm.

Missing key ingredient sweet potatoes and something else. Had to keep repeating myself. Rushing to a meeting. This salad was horrible and bitter. I've had it 3 ti Es from different location

I mean I love sweetgreen and it never lets me down. I have to get myself to try other salad spots but I keep coming back to sweetgreen. I got their harvest bowl and its consistently great

Lorena is very rude, her customer service skills sucks, maybe she should read the handbook again. She doesn't value the customer or her employees. I witness her talking down to employees. I didn't like that experience. I love sweet green. Lorena makes me hate this location. And she's racist to the black employees.

Ordered via the app for 7. showed up on time and waited for 20 minutes. one overwhelmed employee wouldn't let me cancel my late order and apologized for being short staffed before disappearing. super disorganized. Finallly got my chicken salad. No chicken. skip this one.

Shady, deceptive staff. The woman working the line at 5:30 on Thursday instructed us to hit enter three times on the credit card machine. We assumed this was necessary to make the machine work. It didn't register at the time that she was instructing us to give her the largest pre-determined tip on the machine. We always tip well, but it goes without saying that being tricked into it is not ok. She has likely done this to everyone who comes in. I want our money back and I want some system in place to prevent this kind of deceptive practice.

Sweetgreen is my favorite restaurant for a quick meal. Everything is always so amazingly fresh and delicious and well seasoned and I cannot come up with enough compliments. I highly suggest ordering from the menu and not doing a custom salad, as the menu options are all well curated and balanced. Some favorites include: Hummus Tahina, Harvest Bowl, and Chicken Pesto Parm. Honestly, though, you can't go wrong. If there's a seasonal bowl or salad that piques your interest, go for it as they are limited run. Also be sure to try their house made drinks (I always mix them to make my own little mocktail) plus their crushed ice is amazing. Bonus points that everything is as locally sourced as possible and passes through stringent quality and health factors before being included on their menu. All bowls, cups, napkins, and forks are 100% compostable, too!

Convenient location, but poor and unfriendly customer service. I was the only customer in line and the two staff members ignored me and acted like it was an inconvenience that I was there. Disappointing considering how pricey the salads are.

Shirk-flation is bad here. I got a salad And only half of the bowl was filled up. It was my first time here in a while, but it a significant change. Usually I feel full after eating sweet green and I was still super hungry after.

What a rip-off. None of their pre-made salads sounded appealing, but I saw a make you option that was under $7. Perfect, or so I thought. You get to choose your base and up to four toppings. Got my base and started with some cucumber and carrots. I asked for egg, but it was extra. I asked for cheese, but it was extra. I asked for roasted vegetables, but they were extra, as was the the avocado and anything that could be considered a protein. It was ridiculous. It became a joke as I could not even get my four included toppings because everything cost extra. I would have given 1 star, but the service was decent and at least he told me everything was extra before he added it to my salad. One to the most expensive salads with practically nothing on it. There are much better and less expensive options. I won't be going back.

container for large salad has literally 1 small dressing packet. and cucumbers are sour. and hardly any chicken.

Great experience. Food was good. I was in a hurry so I ordered a set menu item recommended by the prep person. The salad was just as it described. They asked me if I wanted to have light medium or heavy dressing which I truly appreciated. And I don't normally (now) eat much meat but sometimes I deviate and the chicken was super tender and (didn't have the reheated flavor that I often encounter with these situations -- as i understand it, there's only a limited number of people that experience this taste).

Quick eats after our walking excursion to and fro G-Town. We passed another location on K/19th but it wasn't open so we ended up here. Same concept of other "make your own" salad spots, & my Daughter did just that as I opted for soup. As she was deciding on which salad to get (don't know why, she always gets the same one every time, even away at school), she opted yet again for the Kale Caesar, a nice little combo of romaine, shaved & crispy parmesan, grilled chicken, fresh lime & their signature dressing. "Mother, I am going to try another selection next time"...girl get your life & stop food fooling yourself is what I wanted to stay, yet I elected not respond & ordered the Chickpea Lentil Soup. The person who was making her salad had a little spunk to her especially while she was squeezing the heck out of the lime. She also had green hair...it was my 2nd time today seeing someone with green colored hair) I guess she wanted to play the part of being green while serving green salads. Her salad looked good as she was rhythmically inhaling it & my soup was amazing! Not because it was organic & vegan...the concoction of the ingredients & seasoning was perfect to my palate. They give you a nice size portion of lentils & chickpeas with little diced carrots, onions and celery & the mixture of the veggie broth & whatever spices added to the soup is what brought it all together. It's very rare I get to partake in bread in a public setting due to the ingredients, can we celebrate the Buckwheat Bread?! There's nothing like soaking your bread in the soup...umm umm good. Always a plus to see the abundance of Vegan options especially when it comes to the dressings & soups, ultimately making the salad bar more viable to create & partake in. Great place for a quick, healthy & inexpensive meal.

Sweetgreen is always a solid bet! Delicious salads with fresh ingredients. A little pricey but all in all pretty great. I usually get the harvest bowl with tomatoes instead of almonds. The dressing is perfectly tangy and portion size is just right. The line moves quick. I think I had 20 people in front of me during the workday rush, but it only took me about 10 minutes to get to the front of the line.

I've seen sweetgreen around but I've never actually tried it until now and dang, I feel like I've been missing out! Ordered online for pick up and it was easy, quick & no fuss which I really appreciated during my short lunch break. I had the Harvest Bowl (organic wild rice, shredded kale, apples, sweet potatoes, roasted chicken, local goat cheese, toasted almonds, balsamic vinaigrette) - for $10, I felt like this was great value for the amount of healthy, wholesome food given! I liked that the sweet potatoes were ribbons as opposed to chunks and that the apples tasted fresh. I also appreciated that dressing is automatically given on the side. Yummy. I tried a bite of my boyfriend's Pesto Portobello and it was equally as tasty. 2/365-2018

Gluten Free: Yes, item specific Casein Free: Yes, item specific If you are one of those people who try to snub chains, you're missing out. sweetgreen is a quick, healthy, budget friendly option. Highlights: + Fresh ingredients + Gluten Free/Casein Free salads- just have them remove the offending items, ask for them to change their cloves and a clean mixing bowl + Menu offers a nice mixture of ingredients + The price is right for the quality and quantity + Fast and friendly service + Salads that keep you full + Small seating area; however on nicer days you can take it to go and sit in the park

I'm a frequent customer at sweetgreen, and I really wish they would list their salad ingredients by weight in the descriptions. The fish taco salad I ordered for lunch today listed shredded cabbage as the second ingredient and organic arugula as the sixth. According to standard menu labeling guidelines, the salad should have been mostly shredded cabbage with a hint of organic arugula and not the reverse. So, I was quite disappointed to get a heaping bowl of arugula for my fish taco salad. I mean who puts arugula on a fish taco?!?!?! Today's salad was a middling three stars, but I added an extra star based on all the positive experiences I've had with sweetgreen in the past.

This was my first visit to Sweetgreen... I enjoyed my lunch here! I went with a coworker today (perfect fall weather.. might I add) it's located pretty close to my office. Overall: small location but it works because most people seem to take their orders to go. Menu: large variety of options (cold and warm) I had the Spicy THAI salad I substituted the tofu for roasted chicken and it was really good! You can also create your own choice VS ordering a pre designed salad (always a plus) Drinks: I was not a fan... but I'm sure other people enjoy them the watermelon option wasn't bad though but the lemonade (if that's what they are calling it) was not what I'm used to lol I would definitely return and maybe try a different option.. oh they also have an app with rewards!

Sweetgreen is one of my favorite places, but this location needs a lot of customer service improvement. I've walked into this establishment on multiple occasions ready to order, only to be ignored for several minutes each time. The staff are usually talking amongst one another as if customers are invisible. I usually go to the City Vista Sweetgreen location and I'm always greeted upon entry and assisted shortly thereafter.

After working out at Toolbox, I stopped in for a salad (gotta keep the healthy going, right?). The staff at this location is super nice and welcomed me as soon as I walked in (this hasn't been the case at other Sweetgreen locations). I ordered the Winter Waldorf - warm quinoa, shredded kale, apples, warm local squash, local blue cheese, raisins, walnuts, and roasted chicken with a balsamic vinaigrette. And of course, I got the bread (duh). This was a great salad! Good balance of flavors...I was worried about the blue cheese being too strong, but it was all perfect! The salad size was large (and it should be considering they aren't cheap)...I could barely finish it, but don't worry - I did! Oh, and do yourself a favor... try the auga frescas. I had the carrot turmeric and it was delish! I am looking forward to stopping by after my next class or when I am in the Dupont area. Cheers!

I have frequented many a sweet green, and this is by far my favorite (not only because it is the closest). It comes down to staff. This place has the most understanding and friendly staff I have ever encountered. I had a group of 10 here clogging the lines that never went to Sweet Green before and everyone was super friendly and helpful! Oh and of course... the fall collection is hearty and delicious!

I usually never order salads and was skeptical when friends told me to go to try this place. I am officially obsessed though! The Harvest Bowl is hands down the best salad I have ever eaten. It has kale, sweet potato, apple, chicken, goat cheese, and wild rice with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Order it and you won't be disappointed! Everything is so fresh and delicious!

We stopped in for an early dinner and had a fantastic experience! I had gotten ill from an accidental glutening by a restaurant earlier in the week so I was a tad paranoid about a reoccurrence. I spoke with the staff who deferred to his manager, Manuel. We were so glad he did that because Manuel made sure to make the food with as little cross contamination as possible. He was super friendly and helpful and I didn't get sick. Thank goodness they have great staff who understand food allergies here. The salad was delicious and the greens were really sweet. Not a misnomer. I'd choose this over Whole Foods any day. I will definitely come back here. My partner had a great idea to bring Tupperware here so that we wouldn't feel bad using so much plastic for take out if we came often. Maybe a 10% discount for being green, sweetgreen? Lol. Either way, when I move here I will definitely frequent!

We've been regulars there for quite some time. It is somewhat more expensive than Chipolte and yet never seems to have any cups on hand for water. Chipolte does, which makes it a better deal.

Harvest bowl + add avocado. Grab a side of focaccia. Dip in salad. Bread is your friend. You're welcome.

I found myself hungry in a hurry and chose Sweetgreen based on the stars. I'm pleased I did. Although I'd heard good things about the chain I hadn't tried it before. The staff was super nice and helpful while staying efficient. My Harvest Bowl is exactly what my body wanted today: filling (but not heavy), flavorful (but not overwhelming), and healthy (without making me wish I had something fried to compensate). Their drinks are really good if a little overpriced in my opinion. They taste like agua fresca I might make at home, so I love it, but I'm not inclined to pay for one in the future unless I have a serious craving and a total lack of time.

Sweetgreen is my go to spot for lunch. When I don't pack lunch, Harvest Bowl is my default. Some say it's not considered a real salad, because it's a warm bowl... but idc it makes me feel healthier eating there at all. I've tried some other options just to branch out but I ALWAYS return to my beloved Harvest Bowl!! This location is always gets super crowded around lunch time so I always try to go a little later after the lunch rush like 1:30pm-2:00pm. But every now and then like today I order ahead. It has to be my luck but more than 5x has something weird happened to my order. 2/2 times I have ordered ahead it was never ready in time or they simply "didn't get the right one." I don't even know what that means. 3 other times I think I keep getting new workers who make my salad but they always make the warm bowl wrong. Either by putting in the wrong ingredients or not putting an ingredient at all. I don't get any substitutes or anything tricky, I swear! I stick to the standard Harvest Bowl-- no changes! Idk what it is-- must be my luck. But it hasn't deterred me from this location.. because I love my Harvest Bowl!! But it has stopped me from the full 5 stars.

"Sweet dreams are made of greens...." + Healthy and delicious + Generous size + Customize bowls for $7.25 (w/o meat but includes grains & greens) + Variety of toppings and dressings The only downside about sweetgreen for me is it is pricier than other customized salad shops I've been to, with most options ranging from $9-12.

If you're a hater of trendy frozen yogurt like I am, you'll know there are times when your peers are able to pressure you into eating said trendy frozen yogurt. I'm giving SweetGreen four stars for being the least horrible of all the trendy yogurt places I've been forced to go to so far. Their plain yogurt is the least yogurty tasting, bordering on pleasant. For just under $5, you get a small cup with three toppings. It was still a larger quantity of yogurt than I wanted, but most of the yogurt places really pile it on so there isn't a small size at all. In comparison, SweetGreen was delightfully tolerable.

I love their menu choices, but the amount of base greens to actual stuff in the salad was too much. I got their watermelon feta salad, and it was just stuffed with kale and other greens, and barely any cheese, fruit, etc. What a disappointment. The interior of the place is rather spacious - there was room to enjoy your super healthy salad, and they also had some froyo. People tell me that I had to try Sweetgreen and Chop't, and I tried both. I have to say based on the ratio issue and whatnot, Chop't wins. I'll have to admit that the salads at Sweetgreen sound much more appealing, and this location has a bunch of those test salads, such as a peach salad and this watermelon one. I just wish they would add more stuff to it, instead of a small bowl of greens for $10.00. If I were more decisive, I would have created my own... maybe they'll add more stuff to it that way. Definitely come here if you're more into a better ambiance. It's got that earthy, clean feel to it.

Sweetgreen in DuPont is small but a great location. It is right by the metro and circle. Take your salad outside to eat it, people watch, and just generally enjoy DuPont. The service at this location was great. I enjoy some friendly salad prep! The ingredients were fresh and all in stock and the prices are the same as every other location. I'm a big fan of the spicy quinoa, spicy broccoli, and roasted tofu. I always make my own salads and like to change it up each time. If you're feeling daring, try half lemon tahini dressing and cucumber basil for a nice citrusy taste. The froyo is BOMB. I know they only have tart and chocolate, but it's the best tart froyo out there. The baked apples on top are my jam. Make sure you get the Sweetgreen ap on your phone and pay with it to earn rewards.

As salads go, it can't get any better. Fresh, healthy and abundant. I opted for my own salad made to my liking. Romaine, spinach, roasted peppers, Parmesan, tomatoes, grapes, mushrooms, cranberry, beet and chicken. With light honey mustard dressing. Yum! I felt my cholesterol disappear. The reason for only 3 stars was the drinks. No ice. All they have is bottled. Nice stuff but bottled. And when I was there, it was all warm. What a disappointment. Outside al fresco seating to watch the masses in DC's most colorful district. Wish they had fresh brewed iced tea. And best of all... Pet friendly on the outside seating. That brings it back to 4 stars.

I think I am a new SweetGreen addict. The froyo is really refreshing, and their simple but abundant toppings really do the trick. (Dare I say the froyo rivals Mr. Yogato?) The price - $4 - is certainly right, as well. Thanks for letting my friends and I hang out a long time afterward, as well.

Wow. This is some of the worst frozen yogurt I've ever had. And I've had A Lot of frozen yogurt -- Pinkberry, Red Mango, Yogurtland, Wildberry, Peachberry, Cefiore, Mr. Yogato, Beachberry, Iceberry, TuttiFruitti....I can't even remember all the ten thousand yogurt places I've been to. And this has to be the worst!! Not only was the yogurt icy and lacking tartness, but it was also FLAVORLESS!!! Okay, on the first bite, I thought Pinkberry, but after that, it just melded into nothingness. NOTHINGNESS~!!!~!!~! Even the raspberries didn't taste like anything!!! And the almonds had a strange flavor that was off putting!!! ARGH!! Worst froyo ever!!! Unfortunately, I ate the whole thing (small size), because I didn't want to waste my money. But the WHOLE TIME I was thinking "OMG this is merely wasted calories! I could be drinking cold water and it would taste the same!!!" Boooooooooooooooooooo :( :( :(

I'm not really sure why this place is classified as a FroYo place. Though I think they sell FroYo here, it's primarily a salad shop. I've visited Sweetgreen (in Dupont Circle) twice in one week with a friend (we were both so enthused by it) and thought it's a pretty cool concept. This restaurant chain competes with Cosi, Chop't, and quite a few other similar shops which cater to the health-crazed DC "workaholic" population. I still prefer Cosi and Chop't (since they have more "savory" salads, while Sweetgreen has sweeter salad options), but Sweetgreen can certainly hold its own among DC salad shops. Both times I visited, I ordered the Kale Caesar salad, which came with kale + chopped romaine, roasted chicken, parmesan cheese, grape tomatoes, parmesan crisp, caesar dressing, fresh lime squeeze. It had a sour-tangy taste to it and it was quite delicious. The servers are generous with the chicken, though do note that if you ask for more chicken, they will charge you (and they won't necessarily tell you before they give you more chicken). I would certainly visit Sweetgreen again, but since I prefer more "savory" (rather than sweet) salads, I feel that the Kale Caesar is likely the only salad I would enjoy from here.

Awesome customer service! I love sweetgreen! But I love this location the most, the staff is always super nice and helpful and the salads are awesome. Very clean bathrooms also!

Among all the sweetgreens I've tried, this location always is the best. Even when I order the exact same menu from other places, they don't taste as good as here... I like customizing, I always change dressing to miso ginger.

As a carnivore, I was a little shy in entering a salad shop... how am I supposed to get full?? Bu I ordered the Harvest Bowl at sweetgreen with extra chicken and it did the trick! I'm full with healthy food! Who would have thought that's possible .. The staff here are super friendly and well equipped with smiles. I'll be back for lunch again

I go to sweetgreen a lot, and it feels like recently they have upped their prices and become skimpy on how much they fill the bowls. The bowls are only half filled sometimes prompting me to have to ask to please put more of a certain ingredient in. In addition, for those of us who don't eat grains like rice, it's frustrating to say all greens only to have the server not add some additional to make up for the loss of the rice, which would make sense.

My favourite salad place !! i order here every single day. Ever since i moved to dc i became even more obssessed than when i used to live in tysons corner. It's amazing. Their wraps, salads and yogurts. Haven't tried their soups yet but i bet its great too. Im a fan of anything healthy really so having those salads healthy and tasty is just impecabble :) Their rye bread is so yummy especially when it comes toasted and steamy! my favourite dressings are the balsamic vinegar and honey dijon. The creamy pineapple curry is good too :) I usually order the ( spinach, roasted chicken, broccoli, black beans, apples, carrots, corn and cucumber ) oh and now they have sweet potatoes which is so tasty! they add it with the froyo too. Their shrimp and falafel taste really good if you haven't tried them yet :) 5 stars from me

I'm not really a salad person because it's like, why get a salad when I could get a sandwich or a steak instead? But I got a coupon for a free salad at Sweetgreen so I thought I'd give it a try. I got the cobb salad which I think was the one of the most (if not the most) expensive salad on the menu at $11. But I wasn't paying for it so whatever. It was perfectly fine - I thought the bacon had a nice flavor. It was mixed well. Service was fine. Would I come back and pay for it if it wasn't free? Eh..... But props to Sweetgreen for sourcing a lot of their ingredients locally and having compostable plates and silverware. Also they put on a pretty good music festival. If salads are your thing, then this place is probably for you, if not, there's always BGR next door.

I love Sweetgreen. I always make my own salad and it comes out amazing. The salads are huge and filling, and the bread tasty. The variety of additions is much appreciated, and I'm especially happy with the crispy kale, which is new to the line-up. I'm a fan of the cilantro jalapeno vinagrette, as it has a slight kick of heat to it. I've not tried the new pressed juices, but I have had the strawberry lemonade, and it was good - lots of strawberry flavor. Luckily, I work nearby.

This was so delicious! I ordered the kale cesar salad with chicken. The dressing was so good! The squeeze of fresh lime really kicks it up a notch. The portions are extremely satisfying also. We got two huge kale salads and a drink for $22. Can't beat it. We have something similar in San Diego, where I'm from, but it's wayyy more expensive and I think you get less. I'm so disappointed I only found out about sweetgreen on our last day in DC! Well, I'll definitely be back and now I know where I'm going to be eating a scrumptious, nutritious meal. The cucumber, lime, ginger fresca is the best! PS, the employees really hustle in there too! The line was huge but they managed it so well.

I love Sweetgreen and have a salad from there probably once a week. It's quick, easy, and healthy. This location in particular has some seating inside, but I often get my salads to go. Service here is similar to other locations - not bad but not quite great. The employees always seem rushed, but usually when I come the place is packed.
