They serve omelettes, sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, pastas, grilled salmon and PERFECT individual pizzas (that are still large enough to share). Even though you order at the register and the wait staff delivers to your table, the service is outstanding (even to your doggies!). Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful and attentive. The garden atmosphere is lovely. You dine under a trellis of fairy lights and bougainvillea. And on certain evenings and lunch times, they have wonderful musicians provide soft background music. They also have an interior space which is nice as well (and air conditioned), but the real charm is the garden, where my maltipoo, Bella, is always spoiled (she especially loves the fries). Parking can be challenging, so, I recommend going just before or just after the breakfast, lunch or dinner rush. I live in the neighborhood, but I have friends who drive from DTLA, Hollywood , West L.A. and even farther away to meet me there just for coffee (try the Vanilla Latte - yum), a lavender lemonade or a glass of wine and a plate of chicken wings (cooled in different styles). The owners and their family work there, too, and always make me, my dog and my friends feel so welcomed and special. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Went in a Sunday around 10:30 thinking it would be packed. Wasn't that bad. There was 5 of us. You order at the counter and then find a seat. Here's our order. I had the short rib grilled cheese with sweet potato fries. Very good! Appetizer were the Mediterranean plate, and Asian wings! Again both very good. Wife had crap cakes. She loved them. Other orders, flatbread pizza, a breakfast burrito, and eggs Benedict. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Price point was in line with other restaurants. They serve beer and wine, and mimosas. Clean bathrooms. We definitely will be back. Sorry no pictures of the actual restaurant. Plenty pics of the delicious food!!!

Eww. I went to a Sweetgreen about five years ago and should have learned my lesson. But my wife…read morehad never been and I guess she needed to learn a lesson, too. The salads when we got them home were just about inedible. The actual "greens" were OK, I guess. But: -the dressings sucked...bad tastes and so sweet. -both of us bit into chicken pieces that had the crunchy cartilage part. This is BASIC for any restaurant serving chicken... no Crunchy Cartilage Parts! -the assembly line preparation looks like it could be kind of cool and efficient if all the elements were crazy good. Like Chipotle back in the day. But this looked like what it was... children dipping their ladles into not so great-looking bins of ingredients. (The kid serving us was actually quite nice and personable.) -I went and looked at the calories, fats, carbs, etc (online)( and was not impressed. Not how I want to use up that 755 calories for a salad. I predict this place will be gone within a few months of the new Whole Foods going into this complex. I'm so bummed... I just wanted a decent place to grab a decent salad that is walking distance from my house.

While in the area for a workout, I found myself famished and decided to stop here for a quick bite to take home with me. I ordered a bowl to go and it was made promptly although the order didn't end up being completely correct. I ordered a create your own bowl with some wild rice and kale, cucumbers, apples, chickpeas and sweet potatoes. I had also ordered the spicy cashew dressing and pesto vinaigrette but in place of the pesto vinaigrette I was given hot sauce. I double checked the order slip that was placed on the package and it was marked with both dressings, so I know the mistake wasn't on my end. Regardless, all of the veggies were very fresh and the dressing and hot sauce were very flavorful. Everything was portioned well and the meal was very hearty. It was also packaged in a way that made it easy to take with me to go. They have a lovely spacious outdoor patio that I would have loved to sit on, especially since it was a gorgeous day out. The inside and exterior of the restaurant was also very clean and tidy and bright. The service was friendly but it was busy when I came, so it felt like they were very rushed. Parking was very easy in their giant lot that they share with Amazon Fresh and a few other businesses.

It's on van nuys blvd so there is parking in the back which is nice. The food was good and the portions were big but I asked for ketchup and syrup and it took a while to get.

If I was in the area again I would come back to try something new.

I have been coming to this restaurant for a long time, and after today's experience, I am seriously…read morereconsidering ever coming back. We arrived, checked in, and waited our turn while carrying a baby. Then another group that arrived after us was seated first. I personally heard them say they did not have a reservation. When I questioned the young employee about why they were seated ahead of us, she told me they did have a reservation. That is completely unacceptable. Being skipped is already frustrating, but being given an explanation that directly contradicts what I personally heard makes the situation even worse. Customers should not be treated as if they are stupid or expected to simply accept whatever excuse they are given. If this restaurant has a waiting list, then respect it. If certain customers are going to receive preferential treatment, then at least be honest about it. There is absolutely no reason for a loyal customer, especially one waiting with a baby, to be treated this way. I have recommended this restaurant to many people in the past, but I will no longer be doing that after today. A business can have good food, but dishonest and unfair customer service can completely ruin the experience. Management should take this seriously. You do not build customer loyalty by allowing staff to skip people, give preferential treatment, and then provide questionable explanations when customers speak up. This was disrespectful, unprofessional, and extremely disappointing.

While they were open, I'd always head to CVS in the shared parking lot for one thing or another, then make this my last stop.

While everyone gets sick occasionally, what concerned me most was that there was zero attempt to cover their mouth, turn away, or take any steps to prevent the cough from reaching the food prep area. Food safety and hygiene are really important to me, especially at a place I enjoy so much. With having a background in the food industry, I hope management can remind staff and one another, to follow basic precautions (like masking when ill or stepping away) so customers don't have to worry. Looking forward to returning once I feel more confident!

Also a nice surprise, was the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada Wrap. It was a huge portion and bursting with fresh flavors. Really delicious. I'd say this is another top favorite from their menu now. As for the location, great spot with nice ambiance, well lit with huge windows, a nice shaded patio with large community tables and best of all - FREE PARKING LOT just behind. Easy ordering ahead from the app made it easy to arrive and enjoy right away too!

We got a quick lunch a couple of days ago and I've got to try their Chinese chicken salad, it's their version with a crispy chicken, and has peaches, it was pretty good.

But their pastry section is definitely worth a visit.

Easily one of the best brunch options in the valley. I actually drove up from West LA specifically…read morefor this brunch and was very happy that I did so. Parking in this area is very easy compared to Los Angeles and our server was very polite. It's not a full Service restaurant you order at the counter, they give you a number, and then bring your food. There is not full waiter service. The menu is really large and filled with all sorts of great options and they have a ton of bakery items as well. It's really easy to find gluten-free and regular treats. Inside is also very large with many different table options and they seem to have very quick service because all the tables were returning pretty quickly. For this meal, I chose the soft omelette and thought it was fantastic. It was made just as I liked it and every part about it was great. We also ordered some of the churro pancakes and they were a real great sweet treat. They also have delicious drinks and honestly everything that we ordered was wonderful. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area and already want to come back again to try some of their lunch options.

I understand using a QR code to place your order. It's not my preferred dining experience, but I…read morecan accept that's how the restaurant operates. What bothers me is being asked to choose a tip before I've received the service. I'm given options like 10%, 15%, 18%, or 20%--but how am I supposed to know what level of service deserves 10% versus 20% when the service hasn't happened yet? If I choose 10% and the service is excellent, I may feel like I should have tipped more. If I choose 20% and the service is poor, I feel like I've overpaid. Ironically, this system makes me more likely to choose a conservative tip every time. I'd much rather have the option to tip after the service is provided, when I can actually evaluate the experience. My recommendation: keep the QR ordering if you want, but move the tipping option to the end of the meal, after the service has been provided. That would make tipping feel more fair and meaningful.

We paid $68 for two salads and an order of fries, which felt overpriced for the quality and portions. What really stood out, however, was the customer service. I visited with my mother and my toddler son. Since my son wasn't going to eat fried food, I bought him a fruit smoothie from a neighboring business. While we were already in line paying for our order, the owner or manager approached us and informed us that outside food and drinks were not allowed because the restaurant is kosher. Although he said he would make an exception this one time, he approached us again while we were waiting outside for our food. We had chosen to sit outside because the restaurant was crowded, loud, and stuffy inside. Despite us not causing any issues, he again insisted that the smoothie could not be on the premises and began explaining that his license could be suspended due to association rules. We politely told him it wasn't a problem and decided to take our food to go. I understand businesses have policies, but the way the situation was handled felt unnecessarily confrontational, especially considering the drink was for a toddler and we had already spent nearly $70 at the restaurant. Between the mediocre food, high prices, and rude customer service, I would not return. There are plenty of better dining options in the area.
