    Simple and Fresh! That is the best description I can give to this Mediterranean spot. My girl and I went here for lunch; we walked in and the ambiance is super clean. The fresh smell of ingredients immediately swift my nose. The chipotle/subway style bar that you choose your ingredients is really efficient. The servers are accommodating and suggested us what to try. The experience of dinning in is pretty good for starters. My girl and I ordered their Pita wrap where they are famous for, hence their name. Their ingredients taste super fresh and its affordable, as well. Nowadays, these quality wraps cost almost $20, but in here you can get less than that. Their wrap have balance flavor in it, so its not too overwhelming and ease you out in every bite. Overall, I'll go here again whenever I have a chance :)

    Okay Bellflower! Why I didn't came back sooner?? I came back to my old town and found this restaurant. Want Mediterranean flavor? This is your call! This restaurant is being here already a year probably... I walk in and I was greeted by the owner, Cecilia. I told her it was my first time there and I started tasting the lamb and chicken meat, it was bomb! I always struggle finding good Mediterranean food and healthy food choices! This restaurant met my expectations with fresh, well seasoned food. The restaurant is very clean, wheelchair accessible and has a QR code menu. Prices are a bit high but, but! I don't mind spending a little bit more for something healthier and home made food taste. I am giving a four because the plate could have a bigger side of meat and I love all sides but I feel the plate could be filled with more of what I got, other than that , I am sure I will return to the restaurant!

    Everything here was super dry. Really dry...

    Ok late post from February work lunch I had earlier this year. Reading all the good reviews thinking maybe I just had a bad experience? Anywho, came in go the bowl 2 proteins. Dry. Like reaaally dry. It was pretty bad. Veggies tastes like they been sitting on the warming tray for a minute. Came in around noon-ish so doesnt make sense to me. Gyro meat was dry, grilled veggiesnwere dry, hummus was mid, sauce was good. Staff was nice, mentioned was my first time there and offered suggestions. Def willing to give it a other try, maybe caught them on an off day. I dunno.

    Chicken & Falafel BOWL

    This had to be the yummiest meal i've had in a long time. i got the bowl with chicken and falafel, i've never been the biggest falafel fan but this might have changed my mind. The serving size was really good for the price, and it feels like a healthy meal overall! We ordered pick up so I can't say much about the inside of the restaurant but I did see they had good amount of seating available and the girl who gave us our order seemed very nice! :)

    Food was fresh and delicious! Service was prompt and graceful. It was brunch time with Gemi and I was starving! This spot is gonna be a local gem

    Fantastic bowl. No rice & mixed up. Yum!

    OMG. Delicious, Homemade, Healthy, Fermented REAL food! My 1st time here, so I mistakenly got too many toppings. Usually eating out, you must add more sauce & cheese for flavor, but not here! Next time, I will get it just the way it comes. Clean beautiful dining area. Excellent service & they can list their short ingredients list. Food the way Mom & God designed! No seed oils used--only olive oil. A lot of meat in the bowls!

    Build your own bowl, with chicken yummm

    OK I'm so impressed! Finally a good Mediterranean place on this side of town :') everything is so flavorful and you build it as you wish! Cava who? I'm def coming back to try more things. The price is also great for the huge portion you get. Highly recommend this place! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the veggies were crisp and fresh, the rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the sauces are a great finish for an explosion of flavors that go so well together! Yummmssss

    The bowl with chicken

    Glad I picked this spot to order my lunch from. This will definitely be on my rotation. I ordered the bowl with chicken. It was very tasty. I also ordered a side of hummus. Wow the hummus is so good...I could not stop eating it!

    The bowl is simple but I feel very healthy eating this. The portions are not outrageous but just right for a nice lunch. The gyro meat is very flavorful too (I like the chimichurri sauce).

    The food is delicious, fresh, seasoned well, the staff is nice and welcoming, I eat here every week, it's always clean, you can order online , if you like Mediterranean food you will love this food.

The foam with the custom latte art cost an extra $2 but I think it was worth it, at least for my first time. To be honest, Honey Greens seemed like a gimmicky place since I thought the foam art was all that it was known for, but no, their drink quality was actually good! I got the agave matcha latte for myself, and I enjoyed how rich it tasted and how vibrant it was in color. I also added a cold foam which made it too sweet for me. Next time, I plan on ordering an unsweetened matcha latte and add cold foam as the sweetener. I also tried a sip of the lavender matcha and that was the one thing I didn't like because the lavender overpowered the matcha. It was pretty busy for a Friday afternoon with all the tables filled and a short line formed after I walked in. The workers were all so kind, and it was overall a very inviting place with fun decorations and a myriad of art options for the cold foam.

I've tried just about everything at this point -- the Summer Salad, Caesar Salad, Strawberry Salad, the panini (so good), the peanut butter sandwich, agua fresca, green juice, strawberry smoothie... honestly, if it's on the menu, I've probably ordered it at least once. It's kind of like a different version of Jamba Juice but with more food options, which I appreciate because sometimes I want to feel balanced. You know, salad in one hand, smoothie in the other. Service is always fast, which is crucial during a workday escape. Anna is the sweetest and the person I interact with the most. She's always welcoming, personable, and makes the whole experience feel friendly and easy. The place is very clean, and they always have protein chips and other little goodies on the side if you want to justify adding "just one more thing" to your order. There's also a good amount of parking right up front, so whether you're walking over like me or driving in, it's convenient either way. If you're ever craving a smoothie or a quick fresh bite, this is definitely a solid stop. Happy eats!

The chorizo had a delightful kick - a pleasant spice, not overpowering. The mushroom "meat" was fantastic! The guacamole was perfect, and I appreciated the NO tomatoes. I didn't try the nachos, but my friend seemed to thoroughly enjoy the diverse ingredients. We had a wonderful time and I'll definitely be returning. I highly recommend the *Champurrado*, the gorditas (especially the mushroom one!), and the guacamole. The soy chorizo was also excellent.
