    Order and pick up counters
    Julie M.

    I preordered on the app because I was running a few errands in that neighborhood and wanted to get in and out. I also had a small discount of 15% on the app. My order was not ready until about 15 minutes after the requested time. BUT in their defense they were very busy and a staff member had called out. People were waiting for mobile orders and also ordering at the counter. The crew was pretty organized and got it all done. Not easy when there is only one person bagging up and handing out, one at the register and one making the salads!! Crazy! They worked as a good team. My order was prepared perfectly in spite of the rush. It was a pretty basic salad that I ordered but the hard boiled egg tasted good and the bacon was perfectly crispy.

    Lunch!

    First of all, I love the app! It is so easy to use, my order is always accurate & on time! I love how much salad they pack into the bowl. The ingredients are so fresh and chopped just right so you get almost every ingredient in one bite! This place hits the spot! Parking is a bit tricky yet I always seem to find a spot.

    I miss salad places. You know, places where the salad is the focus? Simply Salad is just that. Nice fresh ingredients. Clean eating and a clean environment. Nice service. Decent prices. Easy parking. Your belly will thank you.

    Thai It Up (Salad) w/ salmon and Thai peanut dressing
    Jenny W.

    I've tried Simply Salad three times in the last week and I'm officially hooked. I love how easy it is to order online or through their app and my salad is always ready right on time for pickup. So far, I've tried the Thai It Up Salad with salmon (Thai peanut sauce) and the Chinatown Salad with grilled chicken twice (Far East and Asian soy mix). Both came with a generous amount of protein that actually keeps you full. I always get the dressing on the side so I can control how much I use without oversaturating the salad. Everything was super fresh with no wilted or soggy pieces and my favorite part is the added crunch and texture from the crispy wontons. Five stars for my new go to salad spot in Long Beach. I can't wait to go back and eat my way through the menu.

    El Jefe (Salad)
    Rachael H.

    This is my first time coming here and let me tell you... I will be back. Walking in Zumir and Simone greeted me with so much enthusiasm, u had to get something. Devon had the place sparkling. I'm so excited to try my El Jefe salad. These group of young people can sell me anything at this point. 10/10. I'll be back!

    Good: very fresh, tasty and healthy. Even the basic Caesar salad tasted much better than some restaurant I've been too. The buff salad definitely had the buffalo chicken kick to it. service: cashier was very friendly and knowledgeable of the food menu. Ambiance: simple, basic and cute. Doesn't have much places to sit and eat your food though. I believe this place is more of a to go place.

    Get Your Greek On (Salad)
    Lang B.

    After the gym , I originally wanted CAVA but dreaded their super long line and not best service so gave this spot a try. I do not regret coming here instead ! Plenty of parking and inside very spacious with lovely plant paintings on the walls. No wait , so I ordered right away. The staff that took my orders was very friendly and helpful with recommendations . I got the Get your Greek on salad . I couldn't decide if I wanted Mediterranean ranch or balsamic vinaigrette for my dressing and asked the server if I can do half on the side. She was able to accommodate that for me. I was so pleased with my 1st visit I went back in 2 days and ordered the Buff salad (no carrots) The portion size was very generous and filling! Both of the ones I order were very delicious in their own way with completely different tastes. The meats in both flavorful and juicy , if I had to pick a favorite I would pick the Buff since it has a kick of spice from the Buffalo sauce and jalapeno. They toss and mix the salads very well. Greens were fresh and crisp. 100% going back !

    Ceaser salad with lemon juice and Cesar dressing
    Zabrina W.

    I ordered from delivery on door dash. I opted for the Cesar salad with lemon juice and Cesar dressing. The food was delivered on time and seemed pretty fresh. The salad was large for the price point. Overall it was good but nothing special to me. I would order maybe again but it would not be my first choice. The salad was decent but just average. It's worth giving it a try as everyone has different taste buds but it didn't really give me inspiration to put this place on my rotation. Again I can not comment on service or ambiance because I did not physically go to the restaurant.

    Cesar wrap
    Adrianna V.

    I ordered the grilked Chicken Cesar wrap. I did add sunflower seeds. The dressing is so addictive. The croutons I found were a big too large for a wrap. Next time I may sub the croutons for something else but there are so many choices and options. This is definitely a great place to pick up lunch. I like ordering online. You can pick up or eat there. Its near a busy center. This is one of my go to places for lunch.

    Very clean environment
    Fabian S.

    Lucy was great, although my wrap had 15 plus items , she was on it 10/10 service. The seating area and restrooms were also very clean

I was first introduced to the café when I wanted a drink. The butterfly lemonade is the perfect thirst quencher. The lemonade is freshly squeezed from the lemon in the refrigerator case. You see her grab the lemon and hand juice it. The butterfly tea is then freshly brewed and added at the top giving you a drink with blue on top and lemon color on the bottom. The magic is when you mix it. Try it! When I had more time, I tried the beet salad. Its made to order. Fresh everything, crisp salad, candied walnuts, feta sprinkled on top, and the perfect raspberry vinaigrette to finish it off. It comes with toasted bread that gives you just enough carbs to round out the salad. The mushroom melt is packed with mushrooms and I always ask for havarti as its my favorite. She is flexible when she is able to (ingredient availability or pre-prepped). But it is no small sandwich. I usually get the soup and sandwich. I have tried the tomato, mushroom, and lentil soups. All very filling and compliments the sandwich. Mushroom soup is seasonal so when you see it, try it. It is amazing. The impossible Caesar salad is made so fresh as if it is straight from the farm. The café also serves coffee items. Be sure you head over early though. It closes right when late lunch turns to early dinner or if she is out of main ingredients.

I ordered the cortado which was a decent drink and I thought I was going to get it in a dine in cup like the pictures but no. So onto to the sandwich I ordered which was the Mushroom Melt and it did deliver with cheese but it looked like they threw in a couple or so of mushrooms and called it a day. The service felt like I was a bother to them or her I should say. It rattles me when the person taking your order is fidgety and looks like she had better things to do. Maybe the college students that come don't mind but I definitely do. I'm really surprised they're still in business. And that's my take on this failed adventure, Peace out...

The reason for the 3 stars is that the dip for the pho dip was not included in our order. I did not notice this until I already got home. We were really looking forward to this sandwich and although the pho dip itself was good, it definitely was missing flavor without the dip and fell short.
