The last time I ordered pickup at a Sweetgreen was at the SF SOMA location. It took 25 mins to get my food while I watched at least 10 walk-in customers get served and out the door before me. I vowed never to order from that location again period I ordered from this Berkeley spot today. My order was not ready when I walked in. However, one of the staff members saw me look at the pickup area, asked me for my name, found my order in the system, and immediately made it. She apologized for the wait when handing it to me. (I barely had to wait) Good service!!

Super busy location and…read moredefinitely can feel the understaffing and had a bit of an extra wait for my online order, but still polite service and clean place nonetheless. Tried the spicy cashew dressing, pesto vinaigrette, and the hot honey mustard sauce with subbed out a lot from my steak honey crunch bowl, but wanted to try the most of what I was excited about! Also got the corn salsa, broccoli, and sweet potatoes with kale, and loved how they paired together and the fresh taste! Will definitely be coming back during the semester would would highly recommend to cal students nearby!

What a mess. Plates everywhere even on top of counter ! Quite unsanitary

The mandarin orange salad was incredibly fresh, with crisp greens and juicy mandarin slices that added the perfect touch of sweetness. The flavors were really well balanced--light, refreshing, and not overpowering. What I loved most was how everything worked together. The citrus from the oranges paired beautifully with the dressing, giving it a bright, clean taste that didn't feel heavy at all. It's the kind of salad that feels both satisfying and refreshing at the same time. Definitely a must-try if you're looking for something lighter but still full of flavor!

I had to sit around at home for over…read morehalf an hour to be ready for the delivery (Everytable does not include any ice packs or coolers of any kind with deliveries so you have to put your food in the fridge very soon after it arrives) only to be told it was cancelled with no reason given. It is very clear that something is wrong with Everytable's systems. Furthermore, it seems very obvious to me that the support responses I receive are AI generated. While I receive refunds, there is clearly no human element understanding how to escalate issues or actually solve problems. Well this is the future of AI services, folks. Lower prices by eliminating human employees, then provide garbage services that don't work and fake support that does the absolute bare minimum of refunding charges after complete failures. There is no one behind the curtain to understand when an issue has reached the point of unreasonable failure; they don't care about ruining their reputation with customers for a lifetime because there is no one there to care. I will never trust Everytable or use its online services again in the future. Cancelling my subscription and forever filing this company in the "trash" folder

I think I just discovered my favorite restaraunt of all time in Berkeley. Though the exterior of…read morethe restaraunt is unassuming, and the building itself is quite small with limited seating, the interior is still very clean and neat, and the workers are very nice. I placed an online order for the C Chicken Momos and the Garlic Cheese Naan, which were both phenomenal. The naan was some of the best I've ever had. It was so fluffy, thick, and pillowy soft, and was not overly charred/thin or too crispy like other naan. Just pure doughy goodness. There was also a perfect amount of cheese filling--enough that you got the subtle kick of milky acidity, but not too overpowering. The naan itself was also not too greasy, and the garlic flavor was very aromatic. You could also taste a hint of the slight tartness from (I'm assuming) the yogurt used to make the naan. The "C" Chicken Momos came with eight large pieces, which is definitely enough to fill you up. The sauce tasted like a classic sweet-and-sour sauce with a very mild and pleasant spice. Also, because the dumplings were fried, they were crispy despite being covered in sauce, but still had a bit of the nice chew you would get from a steamed momo skin. The fillings themselves were also super flavorful: you get a herbal and fresh taste from the ginger, which balanced the tanginess of the sauce so the meal did not feel too heavy, and the subtle nuttiness and pepperiness of cumin in each bite. The dumplings also had some warm broth in them, which is perfect for a cold day. The prices are fair too. You can often find small discounts on Snackpass or delivery apps like GrubHub. Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back. Totally recommend!
