Located on 3rd floor of Bloomingdale's, I expected better food. We both ordered the omelette special, which has peppers, onions and turkey bacon. They peppers and onions were burned and the omelette quite browned. The house salad it came with was tasty and our waitress was friendly and tried hard to please us so the service was great but the food, eh. The restaurant is very orange and I understand it's due to the name but I felt I was in a fast food restaurant but with higher prices. read more

The management and staff are by far the best there has been I have been coming here for years .. way back when there was a salad bar and I've never seen a nicer staff You are all appreciated and keep making that cookie butter yogurt read more

A great place to catch up with friends and family over sandwiches, soup and salad. Honestly, to me this place is the zen spot inside a chaotic shopping mall. Service is average for a sandwich kinda place, but that is what i expected. Options are good and I will recommend it if you're looking for a casual meal in a high end busy mall. read more

Came here for lunch. I ordered the black bean burger wrap that came with sweet potato fries. It was delicious! I will say it was very expensive, $25. Next time I will need to order the frozen yogurt. read more

Forty Carrots - Black bean wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Short Hills, New Jersey

This restaurant is located on the top floor of Bloomingdale's. This place was very convenient because we didn't want to walk through the mall. We were seated quickly, and decided to go with the lunch specials. I ordered the turkey club which was came with a side of fries. It was very fresh and filling, the fries were crunchy just like I like them. Hubby ordered the Ahi tuna sandwich with a side of Coleslaw topped with mandarin oranges. He must of loved it because I didn't get a chance to take a bite. They also have a frozen yogurt section which I would've loved to try, but we were both full. Definitely glad we ate there, next time I will come back for the frozen yogurt! read more

My review is for takeout only. This place unfortunately is a shit show. Before Covid it was great. Afterwards, the food is absolutely tasteless, often tastes burnt as if the grill hadn't been cleaned in a while, and sometimes weirdly packaged. Before Covid, whoever was cooking really knew their stuff. Now, it seems as though they dug up anyone to cook. Also, my meal, whether it's a burger or quesadilla for example, doesn't look burnt but tastes it. Also, one time they shoved a sandwich and fries in a teeny tiny container, and the next I a big container for something very small. Additionally, if you look at the wait staff they all move about at a snail's pace and look as though they absolutely hate their jobs. Two things to note. If you stand at the counter trying to place an order you'll more often than not be forced to wait way over 10 minutes. Also, and this is a BIGGIE - I ordered a small coffee, which btw, took almost 15 minutes (I timed it) even though I was told it would be right out. When it finally came out and I took a sip it was cold. When I opened it, it was then that I noticed that it was someone's old coffee that obviously had been laying around. When I went back and complained, all I got was - so do you want another one? You couldn't pay me to eat here again, and whoever manages this place should be fired. read more

The service was horrible and the restaurant wasn't even full. The turkey sandwich was shiny gross turkey roll. It wasn't even edible. Kids Mac and cheese was like dried Out old Kraft M&C. Kids quesadillas was also dried. Kids fruit had zero Flavor. Would never eat here again. No one ever checked on us to see how the meal was. Waste of an expensive lunch !!!! read more

This is one of my favorite things about New Jersey. Super friendly servers delicious carrot soup, and salads that are just incredibly flavorful . We started with carrot soup had the spicy chicken mango salad as an entrée. We started with carrot soup had the spicy chicken mango salad as an entrée. Salads and soup come with a warm pretzel roll, which is a really nice touch. On the third floor of Bloomingdale's, so you have a beautiful view and a great place to have a girls lunch. read more

This place is awesome. Super delicious food from salads to sandwiches. All seems to be on the healthy light side and I wanted all of it. I had a special Pastrami grilled cheese. It had thick cut fresh pastrami with cheddar cheese and coleslaw topped on TEXAS TOAST!! it was super professional and came with a side of fresh cut sweet potato fries and the carrot soup !! Let me tell you about the carrot soup , it is a must try. It was so creamy and full of flavor. I never had carrot soup so I figured I give it a go and I'm happy I did. It's upstairs in the mall in Bloomingdale's and it actually had a nice little view for being in a mall. Looks like they have a juice bar too. Highly recommend. read more

It is hard to eat in a department store restaurant and not long for the good old days. If you have been to Chicago and fortunate enough to have eaten at the old Marshall Field's Walnut Room, know those days are gone. Alas, special department store dining rooms are few and far between but one could still always count on getting a reliably satisfying meal at most upscale stores. Granted, department store dining not what it used to be but it is a completely different experience. In short, memorable department store dining is a thing of the past. So much for the trip down memory lane. I had high hopes for 40 Carrots at the Short Hills Mall Bloomingdale's. I wanted a good sandwich and counted on being able to get one. The restaurant is bright and cheerful. One side is all windows and it's nice to look out at the changing tree leaves. Lovely! I was greeted and seated by a lovely woman. Don't you hate it when your server comes over, cheerfully greets you and takes your order, and you only see her again when she brings your food....and when you're finished, asks how everything was? Sigh... I would've told her what I did when I was already finished. The egg salad was good; a bit too much mayonnaise, and the ratio of egg salad to tasty brioche bun was wildly uneven. The homemade potato chips were trying to be crisp and the poor limp pickle spear couldn't decide if it was sour, half sour, sort of sweet, or something completely different. It was definitely disappointing. It would have nice to have my iced tea while waiting for my food. In fairness, the food didn't take long but it would have been a treat to enjoy a few sips of iced tea before my food arrived. When my server brought my bill, she asked if I wanted a to-go cup for my iced tea. Where was this wonderful attentive server earlier? I did and she brought me a fresh one. It would have enhanced my experience had she been this way while I was eating. The staff was pleasant and friendly but there was one spectacular stand out. His name is Hugo. Hugo never slowed down or stopped moving. He constantly had his eye on everything. Hugo cleared and immediately set up the tables and took care of anything needing attention. Wow! This fine man should be cloned! Lunch was ok but I expected much more. Actually, Hugo made my day. I hope his bosses are aware of how hard he works snd appreciates him. read more

Had the açaí bowl which was very good! Very thick! I appreciated the portion size. I also got an iced coffee, which was mostly milk and that's where I took off a star. Service was great and love the location. Will go there again! read more

I like this place. Food is always fresh, prices are decent but the wait for the food to be ready is a but much. I waited 45 minutes for a salad which is ridiculous but otherwise the food is great read more

Forty Carrots - Half Turkey Cranberry Panini - Sandwiches Near Me - Short Hills, New Jersey

This is a great lunch spot located on the third floor of Bloomingdales at the Short Hills Mall. The menu is generally pretty healthy and very tasty. There are soups, salads, sandwiches, and other entrees. I usually get the carrot soup because it is delicious and healthy. You HAVE to follow up your meal with some frozen yogurt! I crave this frozen yogurt regularly and have definitely gone to the mall just to get some yogurt. There are generally a few different flavors (they always have plain and rotate a few other flavors) and a variety of toppings (fruit, sauces, candy, nuts, etc). If you just want the frozen yogurt, there is a little cafe in the basement of Bloomingdales that has yogurt, pastries, drinks, and some prepared salads. Whether you want to sit and take a break or grab something quick, there is definitely the option! read more

40 Carrots is a small food shoppe at the third floor in the Bloomingdales Department store at the Short Hills mall. We were the only ones there after dinner to grab a frozen yogurt snack. $5 regular gets you a few different flavors - cookies & cream, vanilla, plain, coffee. You can mix and match a bit, and is plenty. They have a larger size if you intend to share (though really the $5 was probably enough for a date between two people!). They also have soups, fresh salads and other entrees that tout light and healthy ingredients, so no fried chicken or wings here. The single server worked quickly and efficiently, no issues and a hot water or cold water refresh here and there as we needed it. A good view out the Bloomingdale's third story to the parking lot and the parkway beyond. read more

Completely overpriced for what it is. That being said, the food is not awful. My mango chicken salad was extremely filling and our server was very nice. However, when you can get an equally yummy salad/sandwich that is arguably fresher and half the price at ABP...I don't see why anybody would come to Forty Carrots for anything but the froyo. read more

honestly the level of disrespect that i got today at this place has got to be the worst ever. i arrived with a party of 5 and the girl in the front told us there was a 10 minute wait for a table of 5.. after waiting for 20 minutes, i realized she was letting other parties of 5 and more in, while we were still waiting to be seated. when i asked her what was going on, she got a major attitude with me and basically laughed in my face and said there was nothing she can do about it. how do they treat their customers like that?? i had my 18 month old child with me also and she had to leave hungry!! disrespectful and just paid rude workers they have. never again.. read more

Really good and easy place for lunch while shopping. A bit pricey but normal for the area. Had a chopped salad which at first they forgot a bunch of toppings but then brought them over. Was tasty and came with a pretzel on the side! read more

Forty Carrots - Salmon - Sandwiches Near Me - Short Hills, New Jersey

Ok food but the worst service I can remember. I say this as someone very sympathetic to what servers have to put up with, but Haneefah did not listen to us, ignored us so we couldn't point out that she had forgotten some of our food, was rude in taking our order and wouldn't even acknowledge that she had heard us (she just walked off when she thought she had heard enough, so we couldn't ask for a take-away bag or our check). She was so slow, leaving the eating floor for almost ten mins at a time. They weren't very busy while we were there, but because of this service we endee up spending 20-30 mins just waiting/wanting to leave. The other servers seemed much nicer, but I'll still recommend anyone who asks to stay away... not a good experience. read more

Most restaurants in department stores are there simply to accommodate hungry shoppers. They usually offer a variety of food that will best cater to those with generic tastes. Of these restaurants, 40 Carrots is an exceptional exception. They specialize in healthy fare with an emphasis on freshness. It is so good that I have been known to make a special trip to the Short Hills Mall & brave the tortuous parking situation just to go to Bloomingdales and eat there. I usually opt for one of their creative and fresh salads or their mayo less tuna but always start with their creamy carrot soup which is epic. They also have a nice variety of frozen yogurts and juices. All and all, a great choice for someone looking for a healthy meal who may or may not be shopping. read more

Great little tucked away spot to eat in Short Hills mall, upstairs by the department stores. I'd realized there wasn't a Yelp page for this place, so I made one as we ate there for the first time! Forty Carrots puts its eggs in the healthy salads and wraps basket, and they do a pretty good job with it. I got the Chicken Mango salad, which was grilled chicken, mango slices, toasted almonds, vinaigrette, and feta cheese in a GENEROUSLY-portioned salad bowl. It was definitely pricey, but at the same time, was filling and done perfectly. They have a huge assortment of froyo for dessert, but based on the price, we decided to respectfully pass! I'd come here again for sure, but make note: it IS definitely expensive. Moreso than we thought when we sat down to eat! read more

1) I found an auburn hair in my food and nothing was done about it. Last winter, I actually encountered a woman engage in an enormous argument with the manager and staff because they served her rotten tomatoes in her salad. Guess I should've learned my lesson then. 2) The servers are ridiculously rude and unprofessional (needless to say), and I've no idea where they hired one particular hostess- whose hair seemed to change from one unflattering color to another each time I saw her- who is one of the most rude individuals I have ever encountered. 3) Their food is completely over salted for allegedly "healthy" food, and leaves me ridiculously thirsty each time. 3) And finally, the worst: I have seen, on more than one occasion, them serve a "service dog" WATER IN A TEACUP USED FOR CUSTOMERS Another woman also observed this and spoke up about reporting this establishment to the NJ Department of Health. read more

*This is my first review I have ever made* I will NEVER eat here again!! I ordered the "adult" Mac & Cheese which was literally Kraft boxed mac&cheese, when I asked the waitress she has visibly embarrassed to admit that yes, it did come from "a box". $14 for macaroni & cheese from a 99cent box. Bloomingdales should seriously be ashamed to EVER think serving a Kraft box of mac&cheese is okay/acceptable. Side note it tasted horrible & I make better Kraft (which is sad) & something that is extremely easy to make right... Bloomingdales please take note, this really made me feel like I was getting taken advantage of to the FULLEST extent... Very disappointing. I only give this place one star because my waitress was very kind and good server. read more

A little more than I'd normally pay for a salad, Greek spinach pie and fro-yo, but it's also better than I'd expect at other lower priced diners. Keep in mind that you are paying for the atmosphere as well. This location is situated on the top floor of Bloomington's to the right exiting the escalator. There is also a 40 Carrots fro-yo stand on the basement level right behind the escalator if you are wanting just fro-yo and not a meal. An added bonus is the free Nespresso cafe next to the basement stand with awesome free espresso and lattes. This is a great "pick-me-up" spot if you are visiting Short Hills and need a recharge. Definitely looking forward to another visit here. read more

There are a couple of really good places to choose from at the Short Hills Mall. If you are in Bloomingdale's and hungry, and don't want to leave Bloomingdale's, then this is your choice. The service was really average. The food was pretty good, although the choices were a little slim. Apparently, the Yogurt is the real reason to come. Those I was with love the Yogurt. I thought it was ok. read more

Huge portions of fresh, healthy, and tasty food in a clean and bright atmosphere. I wouldn't have known this place even existed in Bloomingdales had a friend not recommended it for a quick bite to eat after shopping.The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

I was super surprised with my experience today, I've used gift cards at Forty Carrots for years without any problem but tonight I was super surprised when I was told that they could not accept the gift card and I was embarrassed that we were scolded in front of my children and the entire restaurant. The floor was dirty and the bathrooms were deplorable with hair and paper towels laying all over the place. I couldn't even put my feet on the ground because it was that filthy with leftover food and crayons. And also the people right next to us decided to leave the restaurant because they were waiting for 45 minutes for their food and it hasn't even come yet! The turkey burger has changed dramatically and it is getting worse and worse every time we get it. This restaurant used to have a salad bar and a coloring page for kids. Now this restaurant is a hot mess and is very dirty and has bad management. So in over all I am very disappointed with this experience at Forty Carrots which has been a favorite restaurant of mine for a very long time. read more

Honestly, the food is excellent at forty carrots. It's appropriately priced for a department store cafe and the zesty bean salad is definitely worth the fourteen or so dollars you pay for it. The problem though, is the service. Standing around waiting for a hostess or waiting a half hour for a check you already asked for is just not acceptable when there really is ample staff. Seems like it's a problem with the management. Order take out and save yourself the headache. read more

Hadn't been there since they made the restaurant smaller and took out the salad bar. Lot smaller than before, but the food was good. The chicken soup was very good.

Nice waitress, but didn't seem the same as before. read more
