I've been ordering from Create for years. Recently, I have had bad experiences when ordering food over the phone. I call and order açaí bowls and every time it's a whole process of being passed around to someone that can finally place my order. Numerous times the açaí bowls arrive and the plastic containers are broken so ultimately my $12 açaí bowl is spilled all over the bag. I've told the person over the phone numerous times and they don't seem to care. Pretty upsetting. The sandwich options are great and pretty tasty. read more

This will be based off of the soups & wraps, and one bagel. I have yet to try anything else because I just get overwhelmed with the choices and go with soup. I mean, I love soup. So I'm not mad at my choices. Theyll have different soups available each day, Fridays they have cajun shrimp. If you can tolerate some spicy, go for it. It's pretty good, and if you're nice when asking for a sample maybe they throw in a shrimp for you to taste. I personally can't tolerate spicy (my type of spicy is Taco Bell mild sauce, that's as spicy as I'll go)-- but if you can tolerate it, Fridays are for you buddy. Their chicken noodle soup tastes really good too, it doesnt taste like Progresso chicken noodle. I actually expected a canned soup taste but was surprised with the homemade taste instead. The chicken pieces are tender & flavorful, not bland tasteless chunks of mystery meat. The veggie chili soup isn't really a soup, it's more of a chili consistency. Tastes great when you ask them to put some shredded cheddar cheese on top. The cream of mushroom is another one I wouldn't mind getting. It doesnt have that 'straight out of a can' type of texture--you know what I'm talkin' about, the gelatinous, salty, weird chunky taste. No, no, this soup is actual soup consistency & has tiny pieces of mushroom in it, too. The lemon orzo soup is another one of my favorites. So lemony, and packs a punch of flavor besides the lemon, and it doesn't get boring. Each soup you get comes with bread, if you'd like bread along with it. White or whole grain. Or sub it for crackers. Whatever tickles your fancy. I'm sure I've sampled other soups (you may ask for a sample taste of the soup to see if you'd like it) but none struck gold like the ones I've mentioned. The wraps & bagel were okay, nothing mind blowing. I mean, it's a bagel & a wrap. How does one mess that up? They were good, a tad pricey but is it worth it? Sure, you can customize your bagel or wrap however you want. Sub a cheese for a different type of cheese, or sub a meat for a different type of meat. You do you, boo. You're the one eating it. read more

Create is a cute little spot on the 30th avenue strip in Astoria that offers a plethora of clean and healthy food options. A local friend of mine recommended this spot so I stopped by and I ordered one of their açaí bowls (Banana Berry). Size portion and quality were good for the price ($10 with tax). Prices looked reasonable across the board, so good place to eat healthy while sticking to a reasonable budget. read more

The last few times I've been to create, the staff has been closing early and putting the food away, while a line waits to be served. Your business closes at 10pm, why at 930pm are your displays empty? And the worst part is the line of 10 people deep just standing there waiting to place an order and not one employee tells us. Another healthy food option with quick service needs to open cause I'm sick of being a patron at create. read more

So this place has some really good food! I've been here a few times and have had a variety of things from their salads to soups, breakfast omelets to lunch sandwiches and never been disappointed. I'd have to say my favorites from here are the soups and the sandwiches. They have some pretty inventive sandwiches that are very tasty. The service is usually fast and the employees are always pleasant. It's usually busy in here at any time of day- well at least the times I've gone in. It's a bit pricey though- a sandwich and water will cost you about 13 or 14 bucks- but you do get what you pay for! Overall, a very good spot to stop into and get some good food! They also started to deliver now. read more

THEY DON'T READ THE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS! The delivery guy somehow got into my apartment's vestibule and nearly let my indoor cat out. I said in the instructions that my doorbell is broken and to please call! I'm so mad right now! Dude scared the living shit out of me! The food is fine, I've been ordering from Create for years, but I'm a lot less excited about ordering from them now. Probably won't anymore, tbh. read more

Food was definitely fresh and healthy. Love how they have many options on their menu. I had gotten the lemon salmon with quinoa and butternut squash / sweet potatoes. No complaints! Will be coming back soon. read more

Horrible customer service. They make your order wrong and can't even offer to fix it or make something else. Waste of time and money. I do not enjoy this place anymore. Light skin girl at the register had an attitude with me. I just wanted a good salad but I got annoyed instead. read more

I woke up craving a smoothie, I stopped by Create for a banana, almond milk, pineapple and avocado smoothie. I saw the lady making it right in front of me when I see she puts powder on my smoothie I didn't see any avocado putting it on the blender. She tried to lie to my face by saying that she did add the avocado and completely denied she add a powder to my smoothie. How could you lie to my face? When I'm in front of you while you are making my drink. I didn't take it I just left it there, what it really bothers me is that she was insisting me she didn't add any powder that makes my smoothie green. I won't go there anymore God knows what else they are lying about in their food. read more

I've been here twice and they've been kick ass good every time. I had one of the smoothies ( organic peanut) not sure why they call it that when I didn't see any organic peanut butter go in. Any who, their salads is what gets me happy every time. They have several main meat choices ( buffalo chicken and pesto chicken were great) as well as tons of options on toppings and extras. In terms of toppings you can go nuts as I had a little of everything in my salad. The large salad is a good size to even share if you want and under $10! Great place can't wait to come back. read more

This is my go-to place for hot green tea since Starbucks is a bit too far from me on weekdays. A lot of their stuff is on the healthy side but I admit I absolutely love their nutella croissants. If you get them in the morning, they are super moist and chocolate-ty. The girls are nice and so are the guys making the salads and stuff. Once I had the greek fries and pancakes, SUPER GOOD! Definitely as good as it gets! read more

See all

got there at 3:45, no one on line, checking out or ordering. as soon as we step in, the cashier kicks us out saying they are closed. they closed in 15 minutes, we were just going to order something quick but they didn't even hear us out. I've been here many times and the food is great, service is great, and so is the variety of options. this is the only issue I've had. read more

I really love this Create & Go. The food is great, the staff is friendly, and the prices are right. One of my favorite things is the fact that you can affordably -- around $7 -- create a filling salad with ingredients of your choosing. Their soups and salads aside, I'm pretty pleased with their vegetarian options across the board. Their veggie burger and their veggie chili are quite nice, and again, you can customize as you see fit. Final favorite thing? The breakfast options. Lots of options for fruit salads and Greek yogurt bowls. I love that this is around the corner, and has super fast delivery. read more

Horrible customer service. Order was placed 1pm, at 2:00pm I contacted Create, I was informed it's running late, at 2:30pm I contacted Create again and was informed order never left. Not even an apology. Very poor customer service. When you add toppings on salad, I get charged but the toppings are never added to the salad I ordered. read more

Create on 30th ave is a great quick spot for a bite! Create in Astoria is like the cities Fresh and Co or Sweet Green. Great healthy filling options for half the Manhattan price! read more

I have been here 3 times. And only 0 times have I had a stellar experience with the food and service. Particularly, I'd like to shed light on an Acai bowl incident. I ordered an Acai bowl that came with Strawberries. The woman put 2 strawberries on top. I asked her if she could put a couple extra on there since two was a bit of a joke. THEN she told me "No I cannot because I already put too many on there" (Two...). I said I was confused what she meant by too many because the bowl right next to mine had THREE strawberries. And she said "That person is lucky because I messed up and put way too many strawberries. I am only supposed to put one strawberry on the Acai bowl" ONE!!!!!!!! Forgive me if the description was written in plural, how could I be so dumb.... Then she told me if I wanted more than 1 strawberry in the future, I needed to take it up with her boss. So, if the boss of this place actually thinks that's a real thing, I will never go back because that's a joke. Two stars only because the base of the PB acai actually tasted amazing. Like cocopuffs. read more

the "large" salad. I got home and was disappointed, I truly believe all this fits perfectly in the small container. This is not the first time. And now instead of unlimited toppings it's only 6. Even the unlimited before... they would only add a little bit of each topping.. and they would get mad when you wanted more of a specific topping. read more

Create - This is the "large" make your own salad. Only 6 toppings now.. and they put very little of each. - Delis Near Me - Astoria, New York

This place is great I come here for the salad, they have about 7 different protein options. Then you get 6 toppings for $10 plus tax like $11. They put a health amount of meat and vegetables here. Great place read more

I don't know why this place only has three stars. Create is my fave place to order breakfast delivery on grubhub. The food is always hot, fresh, and delicious and the delivery people are always so nice. I've had to call to ask questions a couple times and their customer service is also courteous, not sure why ppl are saying they are rude. My faves are the healthy heart juice and green juice with cayenne, power protein oatmeal, skinny Greek yogurt, and their create your own deli sandwich and breakfast sandwich. The rice bowls are pretty good, too. I LOVE their gluten free choices. I haven't had a breakfast sandwich since going gluten free five years ago until I ordered from Create. Absolutely amazing, delicious, and consistent every single time. Thanks, Create! Please make gluten free bread an option for all your dishes!! read more

Really great organic food and sandwiches. They need a proper takeout menu Last week I came here for the first time. I ordered a Murray Hill Sandwich which turned out to be very tasty. According to the staff, there is no takeout menu, and you can only really make choices once in the eatery. Tables and seating are usually available, and there is a bar stool type seating. Not really a fan of that type of arrangement. Would I go back? Probably, but not a favorite of mine o 30th Avenue read more

I come here almost every weekend be it for their salads, egg sandwiches, rice bowls or sandwiches. Usually I'm here during the day but tonight I ordered a salad right before their closing time. I had a regular salad with romaine lettuce, tofu, edamame, feta cheese and several of their other unlimited toppings. To my understanding you can pick 2 of the greens, one protein, 2 special toppings such as edamame and feta cheese and any of the regular toppings for the price of $8.29 for a regular sized salad. So you can understand my surprise when I got home and saw on my bank app that I was charged $12.24. When I was paying for my salad I could barely hear the lady behind the register muster the price and I was in a rush to leave so I didn't double check the price with her. And honestly I shouldn't have to. And look this could simply be that the lady behind the register was new (I had never seen her before) and maybe didn't know the prices. But please train your workers well and perhaps if one of them are unsure of the price maybe just grab a menu that's right by the register to be sure. This is the first time this has happened to me here so I'm sure it's just a careless mistake but no one wants to be charged more than what they expect to pay. read more

Create - Regular sized salad - Delis Near Me - Astoria, New York

This review is only for made-to-order salads and quinoa/rice bowls. The food is pretty good, similar to any of the lunch spots in midtown Manhattan in pre-covid times, but better options, prices, and service. I love the variety and great options available! If you have food allergies though, might not be a good choice. If you're getting a salad, the same serving tongs go from bin to bin of all the mix-ins (including common allergens like shrimp, mushrooms, etc). I imagine most salad places are exactly the same, but with friends allergic to nuts and avocado I suggest they avoid. read more

Used to eat here quite a bit but the quality has taken a turn for the worse. Today I opened my salad to find a rather large bug enjoying a nice piece of my arugula. I am extremely disappointed and sorry to say I won't be eating here again. read more

My picture says it all. Today after ordering French toast I got "breakfast syrup" instead of maple syrup like their menu states. Either change your menu or notify your guests that you currently do not have maple syrup in stock. I did not come to a healthy restaurant to eat sugary oil. I'm quite disappointed since I order delivery from here quite often (which I go out of my way to do since they do not work with my preferred delivery website) and everything I get is usually up to par. Ironically this was my first time visiting in person and I was not pleased. Also side note, my French toast came with strawberries on it which the menu did not say. Luckily I'm not allergic but I don't care for fruit on my French toast which is why I ordered the classic which is supposed to be, well, "classic". Lol read more

Create - Felt very cheated today when the menu stated that I would get maple syrup but instead got this high fructose corn syrup - Delis Near Me - Astoria, New York

A group of friends and I came here for Sunday morning brunch. The menus had A LOT of options, probably because they serve all meals of the day, but it can get overwhelming, but not to be alarmed, just read the signs above the counter/waiting line and you will know where to go. We all ordered a range of things, chocolate chip pancakes, 2 different eggs Benedict, and 1 omelette, the food came out in a timely manner, on a paper plate and tasted delicious! The only thing that was absolutely awful is the coffee. I'm a sucker for coffee and this was just wrong!! The set up of this place is nice for a quick brunch, lunch, or dinner, like a cafeteria style ordering as well, you pay and then sit and eat. That is definitely something needed when your living in New York City. It was clean with nice decor, but the customer service was definitely lacking. The girl at the counter seemed super busy, or maybe it was grouchy? Although there was no customer in front or behind me. But overall I'd definitely come back for a quick brunch again, or try out the lunch and dinner. read more

My wife and I eat here at least once a week. Love their coffee and smoothies and how many sandwich options they have. One of the best spots on 30th Ave. Will miss them when we move from Astoria. read more

I really enjoy my salad from here. The ingredients were all fresh and they even gave me an extra dressing for no additional cost. I had my food delivered through Uber eats so I can't speak directly on their customer services beside the quality of the food being delicious and very fresh. I look forward to purchasing more from them in the future! This is my third time ordering from them today and I always get their salads. Never disappointed. read more

I like their vegan cookies and fudges pretty pricy though but that's okay because it taste good. So far I've ordered so many things from here. I was really excited ordering the The Protein bean salad and sadly it tasted sooooo horrible ! The beans smelled like it wasn't washed I don't know but it shouldn't smelled bad. The tofu Quiana isss super bland. I think they should add more veggies for flavor in the bowl. read more

Worst experience ever. Employees have their hair out, one has their headphones on ignoring everyone. I waited for 20 minutes to be helped and I had to ask for my order to be taken. The only guy who was working and actually helped me was the guy with the glasses. He's the only reason this business is still running. I'm a frequent customer but every time I come here I'm disappointed by the service. They need to be taught how to greet people and make sure everyone's taken care of. Won't be coming back. read more

Grabbed a salad to go. Took a big bite and felt my jaw crack. Spat out a nickel-sized jagged piece of white porcelain - not from my mouth, from the salad. I'm relieved Create didn't break a tooth...and, needless to say, I won't give them a second chance to do so. read more

Unhappy workers means no love is being put in the food. I feel the bad vibes from the back section of the bar as soon as I greet them with a hello. I get a nod in return and a "yes?" (Not the first time, first time was with my girlfriend) they are very impatient with their customers. Ordered the same sandwich every time and each Time it comes out differently. Hit or miss. Was given attitude by a few workers. Asked for a to go box the same guy who made my sandwich told me we don't have but they were clearly in front of him and I didn't want to be rude by pointing it out...cheese for the cheese fries was literally just thrown on the center.. The only nice people there are the ones working the register. So sweet and so kind. Workers on the other hand probably want more pay. May I suggest a new job for them. 1 star because the price of the food (expensive) but not being price worthy for a 10$ sandwich id expect a good sandwich...instead I got a mess on a plate. 1 star for the cleanliness of the place, the salad and ingredients all aren't washed before being placed in the bin...ever tasted unwashed cucumbers...tomatoes...greens...etc 1 star because the workers are rude or happy when ever they choose with who ever. Where Equality goes wrong. Try it out for yourself, this is my opinion been here 5 times already 4/5 times I didn't enjoy myself or the food. Peace and love (for the food too) read more

Maybe some people out there will think this is redundant, but I just had the worst veggie burger I've ever had in my life! I realize this place does more than burgers, so maybe they excel at salads, in which case, be my guest and patronize the heck out of this place. But don't go there for a veggie burger. I had just done an hour of spin, so I was famished and probably would have eaten anything. I went here and ordered the quinoa veggie burger because I was in the mood for some protein! After about 5-10 minutes it came out in a to go box (despite the fact that I was staying -- maybe that's how they serve everything? Seems like a waste of plastic.) Because everything was all packed in this to go thing, it was very difficult for me to assemble my burger and toppings, so I just started eating it with a knife and fork. I may as well have forgotten about the knife. This "burger" was the consistency of pâté , and I could easily have dipped my bun *in* the patty or spread it on a Ritz cracker. It also was lukewarm, and the bun was not warm or toasted at all. The flavor and the appearance were both disgusting and despite how starving I was, I could only have two bites. On top of that, the staff wasn't super friendly. They all seemed a little like I was wasting their time (this was my first time here, so I didn't know to look for many of their menu items on the little iPads in the restaurant rather than on the *menu* boards up top). read more

The ordering system here will make you nervous. Go in expecting that. Yes, there is gluten free bread, but if you don't want cross contamination, it will require some discourse with your sandwich artist, or stay away from the sandwich. But most of us allergic to gluten know all this. The Astoria location does not have any fountain sodas, which makes me sad. One of the authoritative workers has been grumpy and yelling at the workers both times I've been there. It made the customers uncomfortable. So, cheer-up! read more

Create is amazing . I have been pleased every time I order from here . The staff is incredibly friendly especially Pat , she's accommodating and sweet . Its a pleasure eating here . My son is hooked on their chicken cutlet sandwich. And I am obsessed with their salads . I've been ordering from Create since Day 1 . Love this place . read more

The food is good, fresh and healthy. If I don't have time to make fresh juice or a smoothie at home, I come here for my fix. I like the turbo fresh juice among other combinations. I also get the pick your own salad and I've had their quinoa bowls. They are filling and fresh. I ordered the salmon quinoa bowl once and the fish was not good. It didn't taste fresh and had a weird metal taste. I will never order it again. I've had the split pea and lentil soups. A bit salty for my taste. The staff is nice and efficient. read more

I'm surprised to see that so many people have gotten sick or had bad experiences here. I've never had an issue and I think many of their sandwiches, salads and breakfast options are really tasty and pretty high quality. My boyfriend is a fan of their omelets, rice bowls and french toast. My personal favorite is the Cinco de Mayo wrap. I would rate Create 5 stars but to be fair, many do have a good point about the ordering process being a bit rushed and confusing, and about the cashiers and cooks sometimes being a bit lost. I've never had them be rude with me, though. read more

I have ordered from here numerous times and the food has been passable to good. But this morning I ordered a Greek yogurt parfait for delivery and instead I got CREAM CHEESE... sour and whipped: not even close. Like, maybe someone in the kitchen mistook the cream cheese for yogurt, or actually tried to pass it off as a substitute. It was inedible. When I tried to order a replacement, I was told they were very busy and it would take a really long time. So beyond issuing a refund, they didn't try to fix it or give a crap about customer service for a repeat customer. Well I won't be going to Create anymore. read more
