    The lemon cupcake IS TO DIE FOR!!! The carrot cupcake is a 7 out of 10 and filled with tons of yummy nuts & raisins!
    Julie N.

    ...belated birthday lunch here today with my longtime friend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio is beautiful, but a bit too breezy to sit outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the Forbidden rice and she went with the Globe bowl. Both dishes were delicious and had TONS of flavor!! We also shared the cauliflower risotto, (no photo) which was amazingly delicious NOTE: Do NOT leave here without one (or more) of their Olive Oil Lemon cupcakes ... #ToDieFor #iykyk The food was so good, I did a "to go" for my husband and I for dinner. LOL

    This time I tried out their yellowfin tuna poke and daily soup. The fish in the poke wasn't the freshest, so don't think I'd order this one again.

    Probably best lunch I've had in a long time. I want to try everything on their menu. Cannot wait to Come back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super great for kids!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Noodle bowl, amazing, enchilada bowl, amazing. Kids good, delicious.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is always packed with a long line for ordering.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is organic, healthy, and delicious! I usually get whatever salad I'm in the mood for and then add the protein. Their sides are amazing, especially the vegan Mac and cheese and their quinoa with yogurt. This time I ordered the Brussels and Kale salad with Chicken. I am upset I forgot to ask for extra dressing because I'm a saucy girl. Their little dressing container is not enough for the large Togo bowl. Luckily the grapefruit and grapes added flavor to it.

    Salmon* Steak*
    Sharona M.

    I have wanted to check out this spot for a while and glad I finally got to try. Their food really does feel and tasty healthy. I ordered a Salmon plate with sweet corn and quinoa, and mixed vegetables. I looooooved the sweet corn and quinoa, Ima need that recipe ASAP. So tasty! I didn't love the mixed vegetables only cause I wish there was more of it...? Also, the carrots weren't all fully cooked. Besides that, the salmon was great. My man ordered steak with brown rice and roasted heirloom carrots. He loved his food but the portions were small for him. Still hungry, he got up and ordered a chopped vegetable salad and added steak. He enjoyed the salad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is cute and has a good vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am giving this place 4.5/5 stars, but rounding up because their food is great and customer service is wonderful, as well.

    Shrimp Red Chile Glazed Sweet Potato Gluten-Free Mac & Cheese
    Karissa C.

    Ordered togo order for dinner. Got a Shrimp entree with Red Chile Glazed Sweet Potato and Gluten-Free Mac & Cheese as my sides. The sweet potato was great. With the crunchy bok choy giving it texture. The mac and cheese was also pretty good. Not really cheesy but the pasta was nice and a carb addition to the meal. Honestly I wasn't expecting much but this was a lot better than i thought it was going to be. The only thing is it is a bit pricier, though I understand since it is made for those with dietary restrictions/ preferences. Another thing is the portion is more like something that will keep you satisfied rather than a meal that will make you feel 100% full.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]First off, the atmosphere was incredible in here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Every staff member was genuinely so kind and helpful. The menu has a variety of different things so you are likely to find something that you would want. I ordered the shrimp with the kale salad and this asparagus grain mix. Everything was flavorful and delicious. It is more on the expensive side but worth it in my opinion. A great healthy option!!

    Classic Hummus
    Carrie Z.

    Cute, bright restaurant with artwork lining the walls. I believe this place replaced the old Pei Wei. It's a health-forward spot with plenty of options for salads, bowls, and plates. I ordered the Forbidden Rice ($12.95) and the Classic Hummus ($7.75). Both were tasty and satisfying without feeling heavy or overwhelming afterward. Overall, it's a great spot for a casual, diet-conscious meal.

    Awesome place for brunch, lunch or dinner. Really clean healthy food, clean ingredients. I don't think they use seed oils. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is bright and welcoming, theres patio seats too[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], all the staff was attentive. They double checked my order, everything always comes out great even if I make modifications.

    MENU - January 2026

    1/8/2026 Kale & Brussel Sprouts Salad (with added steak) - I always order this and this was the first time eating at the restaurant. It was a large salad! Goes to show that to-go boxes are so small that you pretty much get half portion of what you order when at the restaurant. The salad was the same as usual. Everything tasted fresh. Crunchy kale and brussel sprouts, almonds, cranberries, orange and blood orange segments, cheese. However, the dressing was a bit too sour and acidic for my liking today. BUT I did an additional order of the same salad and took it home. It tasted different! The dressing was just the right amount, since they do give it in those small takeout containers. Also, the salad itself was softer overall. Because raw kale is usually rough and unpleasant to chew. The steak was a bit on the bland side and chewy. A few pieces were okay, but the rest of it was chewy. I feel like it's a hit or miss here. However, the take out salad was much tastier than eating at the restaurant. Kombucha - This was their daily kombucha. Forget the exact name. It had good carbonation. Kombucha did have watermelon flavor at first sip, then apple cranberry. But as you continued to drink, it became like apple cider vinegar with more acidic flavor. It was difficult to drink and had to force-drink it. I should have asked for a sample first. Customer Service - It was good all around! All the servers were friendly. The restaurant was clean and servers walked around checking in on customers as well. It is mostly self-service when it comes to refills and getting your own utensils, but they still check in with you. Parking - Large parking lot, but don't be fooled! It is always packed here! You might have to drive around the parking lot to find empty spots closer to the restaurant. Plus, everything feels cluttered here.

    Sitting area

    The food here absolutely slaps, I love it so much and it's healthy. Service is pretty good, I've never had a problem. Sometimes mobile orders are ready way before the posted time though and the food isn't as hot, but other times it is accurate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is so cute and such a vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely recommend this place. I wish they'd add a breakfast menu!

    I visited Flower Child on a Thursday early evening. I ordered the salmon plate with cauliflower risotto & red chili glazed sweet potatoes as my sides. One of my friends got the black bean falafel wrap, & my other friend had the rebel french dip. The staff was very friendly, & I liked the interior decor. I'm looking forward to trying more of their dishes on my next visit!

I've heard the Peruvian Steak, Prosciutto, and Chicken are good too! My only feedback with the Happy Hippie is that there is slightly too much filling, so it falls when you are eating the sandwich. Each of their sandwiches comes with two halves and is filling and satisfying. They also use fresh, vibrant vegetables, and a store associate told me their bread is baked fresh every day! Service: The service here is half the reason I come! A lovely store associate will guide you when ordering, and they will bring the food right to you! When they bring the food, there are two napkins on the tray. If they see you carrying your tray after you are finished eating, they will also offer to take it for you! Although the sandwich prices are slightly premium, you are paying for their healthy ingredients and exceptional service! Ambiance: This restaurant is spacious with many tables on the inside and outside! Their bathrooms are also really clean and well kept! Please go here for a healthy, non-bloating meal when you're in the area!

    Tough call... This is my favorite Mendocino Farms location…read moreout of at least five I have been to around Orange County. The problem with this sandwich chain is one and only: They have a huge issue with quality consistency. Ask their managers and they will tell you that the portions and sandwiche ingredients are strictly measured, but as a customer you know that's not the case. You go to some places and get these tiny sandwiches with two slices of bread and barely any ingredients in between. The Tustin location, located in Whole Foods has been the worst offender at this by far. Now this Campus Drive location has been creating the best, most generous, consistent sandwiches. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen every time still. It all depends on who you get as you cook on that day, crafting your sandwich. Some day sandwiches that get to the table are juicy and enjoyable, and sometimes, they come out to be disappointedly small, with minimum amount of ingredients. I had to complain to the manager a couple of times, but it doesn't help. Every time I come here, I pray to get the right chef who will make my sandwich well. Absolutely hate being at their mercy.

I noticed they prescoop their fruit puree/jam(?) in cups to store in their front display fridge. There is a kiosk to order or you can order at the front with a staff member if available. Several signs posted around the store with special flavors & an opportunity for free Assam milk tea with Yelp review. I got the blueberry matcha with 75% sweetness. I tried to sip the matcha first without mixing too much, but with 1 stir I could already taste the blueberry. A few stirs in, I was drinking a perfectly sweetened blueberry matcha, but I was concerned about the rest of the blueberry puree still at the bottom of the cup. Next time, I would further decrease the sweetness since the puree is quite sweet after mixing all the way. I needed to wait for the ice to melt a bit to balance this. Otherwise, the puree itself had bits of blueberry that I could taste, would get again!

I came across the Terrace, located near the university, which featured a lovely patio and scenic views overlooking the golf course. When we arrived around two in the afternoon, the restaurant was nearly empty. The interior was stylish, but I preferred sitting outside to enjoy the view. A large group of golfers was having lunch nearby. Since it wasn't crowded, our server easily arranged a table for seven. One downside was a man who continued to smoke on the patio despite being told it wasn't allowed, though fortunately, he didn't smoke the entire time. My man and I shared a Mexican Mango Mule, which was especially refreshing after the lengthy ceremony. We sampled several dishes--calamari, chicken wings and fries, beef tacos, and chicken tacos--in order of preference, from most favorite to least (though none were bad, just varying in appeal).
