The Avo Pesto Cado was incredible!! The only downside is that it is so incredibly expensive, but you are getting high quality food for the price. Workers are very sweet and received food quickly after ordering. Very clean too! read more

Food For Thought - Avo Pesto Cado w/ Chicken - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Garden City, New York

I LOVE FOOD FOR THOUGHT! This place has helped me expand my palate and be a little braver when it comes to healthier foods. I have been coming here for a decade and have seriously never had a bad experience. The store itself is super clean, the staff is very friendly, ample seating, and once again, the food is amazing! My go-to order is always a Source of Life Smoothie. Tip: while you're waiting for your food/drink to be prepared try one of their free samples near the register! read more

Choosing this restaurant to add variety my palate was a really good decision. The not only gave street PO parking but I discovered a parking lot behind the building. The patio dining is very attractive as well. The restaurant doors were kept open which means that anything was free to fly in so you might want to sit away from the door or rnesr the back of they offer seating in the back. I had the Thai Zinger. It was hot in temperature and made to order. It was in very delicious. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Being that I'm new Vegan eating! I'll come again yo experience their breakfast menu! read more

Our favorite new lunch spot in Garden City. Food for thought offers some great, quick, lunch options with a healthy twist. Its walkup counter service and food takes about 10-15 minutes to come out. Our favorites were the salmon dish and balsamic chicken. Also, I got a nice wheat grass shot. There's tables both inside and outside if you want to dine there, or you can just take out. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice, quick, healthy lunch. read more

Seems like a good lunch spot for sandwiches and smoothies. I ordered the Avo Pesto Cado Wrap with Chicken and it was overpriced in my opinion. $15 for a small wrap I finished in one sitting. I figured for $15 it would be bigger or come with chips or even a pickle. It was still good but not mind blowing. Maybe I should have just ordered something else. read more

Nice lunch spot. Healthier options. Can be a bit pricey for lunch. Atmosphere is nice. Ample seating

At Food for Thought in G.C. Bought 2 soups a yogurt with granola a piece of moist light chocolate cake while I viewed the other things they had for sale. 3 stars as what I bought was good, there were no lentils in the soup I got and I had asked the girl which soup on the divider was the correct one. They have a large selection of things when in the area I plan to stop by and try some of the other healthy appetizing items. read more

I placed my order on Uber eats I got myself a Sweet potato sweetness which is wrapped in pita bread it's amazing I recommend! It's light refreshing and portion size is also good. I ordered a açaí bowl which for me tasted like very ripe banana not really my style. It was presented nice however that taste was just not pleasant. My friend I ordered for her a Buffalo chicken salad which she added all the ingredients that she wanted. She said it was spicy however she enjoyed it very much. read more

I love this place religeously man. The food is so good and healthy UGHHHH I want to own the entire store tbh.

I came across this spot when I was searching for good salad options. I was actually pleasantly surprised. They have a bunch of healthy options either being salads, bowls, sandwiches and more. I created my own salad with kale and a choice of 4 toppings. I wanted to add grilled chicken as a protein but they only had chicken salad, which is kind of odd. I ended up just getting a side of chicken salad. The salad itself had fresh ingredients and was perfect with the avocado dressing which was mixed in beforehand and they also gave some on the side. It was a simple salad but I enjoyed it. The chicken salad was a little dry but not bad. Definitely try this spot out if you want something light, fresh and tasty. I would definitely try their sandwiches/wraps next time. read more

Love this place for grab and go meals- sampled a sandwich, some sides, and soups. easy, quick, fresh tasting. nice option for a quick meal!

Delicious and nutritious food, haven't had anything I didn't like friendly staff. Great location with outdoor seating and indoor seating. Great option for breakfast lunch or take something home for dinner. Very clean and inviting. Definitely recommend. read more

I just had my very first meal from Food For Thought. All I can say is why the heck did I waited so long to order from them. I did Uber eats and ordered their chef's special, which is grilled wild Salmon with sauté veggies, Jazmine rice and chipotle sauce. OMG the food was freakylicious ! I absolutely will order from them again and I will definitely stop by to check out their place. Highly recommend this dish if you're in the area. Again, I didn't eat there, I haven't been there. I place an Uber Eats order and it did not disappoint. read more

I recently signed up for a Cyclebar membership (which is a couple blocks away from Food For Thought), so I've been coming here afterwards for breakfast or lunch. Today I got the Lean N Fit omelet, Food For Thought Juice, and wheatgrass shot. I love this spot because they have sooo many healthy food/juice/smoothie options, and everything tastes so fresh. My friend and I always talk about trying out new places after our cycle class, but we somehow always end up here because it's that good! read more

I have recently gained an appreciation and understanding about eating healthy. A healthy diet is important for beneficial health and nutrition. Eating healthy can protect you against chronic noncommunicable diseases. My goal is to replace foods that contain trans fats, added salt, and sugar with more nutritious choices. Food For Thought is located on busy 7th Street in Garden City, and has been serving customers healthy creative food choices for over thirty years. They provide fresh ingredients without the artificial or processed ingredients. They have various creative heathy food choices that are all delicious. There are many healthy options one can order at Food For Thought or preorder on line such as Acai Bowls, Wraps, Salads, Omelets, and Sandwiches. What I love is their smoothies, especially my favorite Funky Monkey! When I am in town, "Food For Thought" is the only place I choose for lunch. Its working for me and I believe it will work for you all as well. read more

I am so glad I discovered Food for Thought in Garden City! They have outdoor seating which is so nice on a sunny day (and especially during a pandemic). The outdoor patio is in front on a lovely street lined with trees and flowers. I really enjoyed the Sweet potato sweetness pita pocket. The green smoothie was really good. I wish they had a smaller size, though, bc it really is like a whole other meal, in both substance and cost-- I'd have just liked it as a drink, not a liquid meal. The cashew covered chocolate-date truffles satisfied my chocolate craving. The menu doesn't have a vegan section or a V on vegan items, making it take longer than necessary to figure out what vegans can order. The dessert shelf does have vegan items labeled though, which is helpful. Overall, I really liked this place and would def recommend to anyone who values food that is both tasty and nutritious. read more

I was treated very horribly and did not know that I was coming to a place a lot of times that was not only-ist towards me, but there are Spanish and Indian workers there that used horrible words at me when I told the cashier that she overcharged me according to the price That was on the menu and what I normally pay the prices did not match what was on the menu and online or anything just for me to let her know her mistake. I was confronted by a woman who said that she's the owner and told me that there's nothing she's going to do about the overcharge that I should go elsewhere with my business And go to another restaurant and go there which I found very sad. I was just so taken back that I'm paying money to this restaurant and this is the kind of service and speech that I get raises questions on human rights maybe in her country she can get away with something like that, but this is America. You don't talk this way to someone And think that you're going to get away with you may get away with it because it's your business but other customers that will take a look at this review will not give you the business. The woman that came out as the manager did not give me her name, but she went in my bag and just threw my food around in the bag, which I found very unprofessional. I told her I said, why are you going in my bag that's contamination, but I hope people that were in that store that time that I was in there took a look at that and also will report that Because I will report it to Garden cities ethics on businesses that do business in their town and I will call human rights as well cause I don't think that anyone should go through this and be treated like the way I was treated in telling me I'm an untouchable and to go elsewhere when I told her only one thing that I was overcharged for an item Instead of her, looking into it all she could say was there's nothing. I'm going to do next time before we bring you up just let us know before that's what she told me. This is low class for someone to say this to you and tell you you don't have to come here you can go elsewhere. This place is a scam. this woman was so unprofessional unkind And judgmental I believe in karma how people treat others will come back to them the horrible Indian lady owner was so horrible that wouldn't give me a chance to talk and just kept saying one thing over and over again you can go to other restaurants. You don't have to come here after I told her I was overcharged. I just need you to take a look at it. The cashier did overcharge me by seven dollars more than what I was supposed to be charged for my total bill. read more

I've been a customer of Food for Thought for a very long time. Recently, the customer service, food and drinks have taken a deep nosedive along with its cleanliness. The "celery juice" was a dirty pool of juice remnants from previous orders. Don't think the juicer has been cleaned since its purchase b/c it "brakes the machine." Save yourself a trip and skip this mess. read more

We recently stayed in Garden City and found Food For Thought just down the street from our hotel. Great food! We ordered from here 4 times during our stay and every meal was fresh and fantastic. They offer a lot of great vegan options, most of which we tried. The sandwiches were generous in proportion and the salads were chock full of crispy fresh produce. Delicious stuff. They have a great outdoor seating area if you decide to stay but don't feel comfortable dining inside. The interior was clean and well organized to handle to-go orders as well as dine-in customers. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Great overall experience. read more

This used to be one of my favorite eateries and juice bars, but after their second expansion is went right down the tubes. The food is still great! And the smoothies are very good. But the staff is rather slow. And nothing is organic anymore! That was the core of their business 10+ years ago. No more. And the place is always freezing. They have the air on, even in the winter. And the bathroom is always a disaster. Seriously. The floor is always wet or covered in bleach. Morning moon and night. Maybe dry it so people don't fall! read more

This has been my go to for over a decade, nearly two, for healthy food. started out as just a wheat grass, juices, and oatmeal spot. Migrated to the cold and hot food. The hot chef specialties were fantastic. Something changed over the last year or so and I've been disappointed over and over with any of the hot meals. They are never consistently the same taste or even presentation. Ive gotten my blackened chicken several times now with the bay leaves crushed in the dish, needing to spit out pieces of bay leaves in every bite. When the dish is made right, it's amazing, but the consistency is so far off that I unfortunately don't see myself ordering anymore and it's sad because I've been coming here for so long and I spend a lot of money in here every time I order, never less than $150. I believe the old managers no longer there and it shows. read more

Woah, new favorite spot for the healthiest food around. My sister and personal trainer both recommended them, i had to see what the hype was about. I had the avo pesto cado wrap which was awesome. it was perfectly salted and i could taste the balance between the greens. for juice, i went with the immune booster which was carrots, oranges and ginger. Super cleansing, i felt like a superstar by the time i was done with my food. personally i think this place is magical and the food is so healing for my body! Must go for all! read more

Ordered $90 worth of Uber eats. All THREE Thai Zinger didn't have the sweet chili sauce which made it bland. And they replaced a calypso lemonade with sugar free lemonade water. When I called to speak to someone she advised she can only give me back 10% of the order. read more

Avocado toast with tofu on top was very delicious. Only complaint was the bread was a little too hard and their food is a little bit pricey. I've been here many times though and their menu is extremely friendly to multiple diets and their smoothies are pretty good. It has the same vibes as a coffee shop and it's very clean inside. read more

This place uses to be a gem! It really was an amazing health food restaurant in garden city. Now it has become super corporate, and they are catering to the masses. The food is no longer organic. The juices are only organic "when available" which is a crock. And they seem to prefer attracting new business rather than keeping their LONG term customers. Very sad. Also getting deliveries is a nightmare. They are often late. Or the people don't communicate properly. Better off using Grubhub or Uber Eats. But they stopped using both. Again it's about their convenience. Not about the customer anymore read more

Great food and many options! I would have liked a little more signage for vegan and vegetarian dishes. I also think it would be good to have more signs about both sides of the place. The workers were very pleasant! I ordered the falafel pocket. I was very pleased with it! read more

The food here is so fresh and tasty. I had the falafel sandwich and it was delicious! My mom had the avocado toast with eggs and the portion was huge. We both really enjoyed our meals and would definitely go back! read more

Solid lunch spot. I was torn between trying this place and another similar one in the area, & I am very happy with my choice. The setup was easy, order your food/smoothies on the left and/or right and pick up in front. Lots of different options, and everything seemed to be very fresh and made on the spot. Avo Pesto Cado Wrap: 4/5, this wrap was very good. Great blend of flavors, and very heavy duty. Not a cheap little wrap you may get elsewhere. Great option for veg lunch, or add chicken for $1.50 more. I'd definitely get this again. Muscle Mania Smoothie: 5/5, great smoothie. Fantastic blend of banana, chocolate, & peanut butter. Not watery or bland at all. Highly recommend if you like peanut butter/banana combo. A little pricy ($8.59) for a standard size smoothie but it was very good. Overall, this is a great lunch spot in the area. Great option for something healthy and fresh. Judging by the smoothie I had I'll go out on a limb and say they're all probably fantastic as well. The only negative (if you can call it that) is the price was a bit high....but it is garden city so it's expected I suppose. I definitely recommend this spot and will be back for sure. read more

The food was great, and not over filling. We felt good after we ate our two entrées, which would be the right size for lunch or dinner.

Always delicious and fresh! So many choices. The staff is very helpful! Love all the gluten free options.

Our first visit was 8/13/2024 at lunchtime. Woman behind the counter gave us a fabulous food tour including tastings of various options. Fantastic food. As we were having our delicious lunches, a server was going around with free samples of other available dishes. An amazing and great place, and most dishes are celiac appropriate for gluten intolerant diners. If fast casual could get Michelin stars, Food for Thought deserves the highest ranking. read more

I've gotten this omelette 4-5 times it is one of my favorites. They cook all their food fresh so expect to wait for 5-10 minutes for it to be done. A great healthy alternative that has a flexible menu where you can add or take things out since it is made fresh to order! read more

This is a solid health food spot :) I highly recommend! You pay for what you get here. I got the kale slaw.. not too bad, probably wouldn't get it again but I love the concept. I also got the liver cleanse juice... for any juice lovers, this is a great one :) Sweet potato sweetness pocket by far the best part of my meal lol. Amazing with or without the sauce they give with it. It's primarily sweet potato, quinoa, and black beans in a pita. Vegetarians or Vegans... def a good go to. read more

Welcome back Food For Thought! First off, I don't get the credit card issue the other yelper mentioned, I bought a $7 smoothie and used my debit card? And the lady with the shamrock tat on her wrist smiled at me and said thankyouverymuch. Now how is that for service?? The renovations, whatever. This place looks like a deli. What they do behind that counter is deli-lishous. They make smoothies, salads, falafel, veggie burgers. Are you feel in' the vibe? Its a vegan like deli. So get your Veg on baby! This place is the OG smoothie bar. They have a liver cleanse smoothie made with beets that is really good. My favorite of all time is the Buttercup Almond Joy smoothie. Now I haven't had it in a while, I needed to taste what The Natural Market perfected. I grabbed my smoothie and then went next stoor to The Burger Spot with my kids for French Fries. (Yeah.. Don't judge us) So the smoothie they invented? It's still outrageous! Come here and order a nice healthy lunch. Their smoothies will invade your thoughts.. read more
