Ordered the chipotle chicken wrap, açaí smoothie and the Malibu smoothie Both of the smoothies were really good and massive. Mondays and Fridays they do a special for them whether a dollar off or buy one, get one half off. The chicken wraps were also good, I'm not a huge fan of a lot of sauce and im 90% sure that they use frozen chicken, so those were the only downsides, but preferences Service was super quick. We were in and out in about 10 min. read more

The tuna was just tuna. It was really bland, even with the jalapeños it was nothing exciting. The service wasn't great either. I asked about the free Agua Fresca with purchase of a sandwich and she pretty much yelled at me and told me that I got a wrap not a sandwich so it doesn't qualify. The inside was clean but pretty warm and there wasn't much airflow. The only good thing was the chipotle sauce and cilantro sauce. I was pretty excited about the tuna based on reviews but it was a let down. read more

I like the origin story of this shop, a husband inspired by his wife's health eating habits and wanting to provide a dining option for the community. I came in, very dehydrated from a long hike. I ordered a large juice and a kid size açaí. The açaí bowl was delicious. I should have ordered a large açaí, it was a standout. The granola puts it over the top. The menu is extensive and there are so many unique items that I've not see before. The space is very comfortable. I would come back again if I'm in the area to try more of the menu. Parking is located in the rear. Great service. Casual Please come and create your own adventure. read more

I just ordered from here for the first time and I ordered a Chipotle Chicken wrap with Jalapenos on the side and their Chipotle Dressing and a Turkey With Pepper Jack Cheese And Added Bacon And Cilantro Dressing with a lemonade and an elote. I left impressed. The food was good. I will be back to try out more items. Shown was half of my wrap. Enjoy Fellow Yelpers. They even have daily specials as well and they accept cash, card, or ebt as well. Very healthy spot. Lemonade super fresh to me.. I definitely have my eyes on their menu for some other items in the near future. Be patient with finding parking though. read more

Quick service, even at 12p. I had jury duty & wanted to walk somewhere & this place was close by & had been somewhere I wanted to try. Great sandwich that they let me customize. Bacon was crisp & perfectly chewy at the same time The smoothie was great & very filling & perfectly cold for the hot day. For how many people came by for a quick lunch (clearly staff from the courthouse & family health centers) the service was quick and on top of the crowd. I still managed to get my food in 10 minutes or less! Will be back to try other items. read more

Easily missed when driving by, Sweet and Green is like an oasis on the inside. It reminds me of Dr Who where the Tardis (phone booth) looks small on the outside but is huge inside. And, there are lots of positive vibes. The woman who took our order was very sweet and young. Think she may have still been in training. We arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday night and were happy to see lots of options. Even better, when our sandwiches arrived they were chock full of real and fresh ingredients as you can see by the pictures. I had a chicken wrap and was so happy that real chicken that wasn't processed was used. The wrap wasn't dry! Often I have to tear off some of the wrap as there's too much of it but ,not in this case. The sauces for the dressings are on the side which I enjoyed as it wasn't overdone or lacking. We'll have to go back one day to try the healthy cleansing juices! Great place for lunch and just be careful around dinner time. read more

I'd been seeing this place on yelp for awhile and finally went in today to try it. They've got quite a few options on the menu. I went with the summer "smoothie" and a chipotle chicken wrap. The wrap was really good and I definitely enjoyed that, but the smoothie was not. I don't even think it was a smoothie, it was honestly giving milkshake. I believe they used milk instead of a juice or coconut water and it just wasn't enjoyable. It lacked flavor and the consistency was runny. Bummer because the main reason I went was for a good smoothie after a workout. Customer service was great though and I like how there was an area with various Mexican candies. Not sure if I'll be back but will update if I do! read more

Outstanding work. I ordered a chicken wrap with everything in it, cheddar cheese and dressed with chipotle sauce. They had a deal for every day of the week and so I got a medium agua Fresca with my wrap. For 8 dollars, that wrap was not only a generous portion, but the flavor was incredible. Despite their being seemingly one teenager working the store by himself, the service was prompt and pleasant. And the bistros interior is a little cramped but ultimately had no effect on my enjoyment whatsoever. read more

The only small thing was I wish the food had been a little hotter when it came out, but the taste definitely made up for it. My only other note is I wish they had unflavored iced tea.

I ordered a bowl and a side of brussel sprouts and specified "no cheese" He was very friendly and professional. When he took my order, he added the note to the receipt "no cheese". Once my food was ready, I double checked the order to make sure there was no cheese. As soon as I opened the Brussel sprouts, I immediately noticed there was parmesan cheese on them. I went back to Justin and showed him there was cheese. He was very apologetic and said he would have them remade immediately. While I waited for the Brussel sprouts to be remade, i noticed 2 employees in the back mocking me and Miranda said to Abraham multiple times "no cheese, no cheese, make sure there's no cheese." They both were laughing hysterically and kept glancing over at me. At this point in time, I was getting agitated that they would make a mockery of such a serious allergy. My dairy allergy is serious and I could be hospitalized if I consume dairy. After waiting another 10 mins, Justin brought over the Brussel sprouts and before handing them to me, he double checked them again. When he opened them he noticed there was still traces of parmesan cheese. Again, Justin was very apologetic and explained that the parmesan cheese must have fallen into the tomatoes. He continued to apologize and offered another side item on the menu. Just was the only professional one and provided exceptional service. As for Miranda and Abraham, they should learn to take people's allergies seriously and not make a mockery of it. Very unprofessional. I hope management escalates this customer experience to ensure other customers don't have to deal with such rude and unprofessional employees like Miranda and Abraham. Please give Justin a raise because he is the only reason why I would ever give my business to this location again.

We went for Patty Melt/fries and a wedge. It was good and just my helpful two cents, if you're going to stay away from Rye bread in a Patty, you need lots of grilled onions. I love the white bread idea but it's more of a Chester than a Patty melt. Better news: Burning Beard is moving to a larger local, much larger, and a dedicated kitchen. Can't wait.

I opted for a basic mix of vanilla & chocolate in the Junior size, with sprinkles and Reese's PB cup crumbs. Super awesome that they fill 3 layers of the toppings so you get a little something each time. It does freeze pretty well so if you don't eat it all it can last you a few days. A little bit of parking out front in the shopping area. No shade while you wait but others brought umbrellas. Lots of seats inside too. There was a bathroom but it was located in their staff area and you needed to be let in.

Awesomeness without the bun! Healthy, clean, and friendly staff. This is a self serve salad and fruit bar and they also make sandwiches. It's a Great spot to grab something quick and healthy. The dressings are good and don't taste like they are off the shelf at the grocery store (talking about the fake dressings like hidden valley ranch). The greens are fresh and have no discoloration or look old. For the salad , they charge you based on what size plate you want, then you fill it up to your likings. With the fruit, they charge you by the weight. I love the variety of toppings too. Thanks for opening, I will always be a customer. read more

We ordered a Large Fruit Salad to share and a mango smoothie as well as a green smoothie for my wife. The establishment was quiet for the most part. It was Sunday late afternoon. And service was relatively quick. The food was served quickly enough and the portions in the salad was good. My mango smoothie was good and not over the top sweet. I am definitely coming back for more!

Options for everyone that you would expect from a brunch/lunch place. I got the green omelette with a cottage cheese side (+$1). The food came out quickly. The portion was huge which is nice considering I felt like the price was pretty high for a counter service place. Definitely was able to split my food over two meals. The omelette was filled with veggies (spinach, asparagus, etc.) and it came topped with half an avocado. Good flavor that was definitely helped by the salty feta. Overall pretty enjoyable but nothing standout.

When I walked in Vicky greeted me and told me of the Specials I Chose the Roast Beef sandwich which proved to be a good choice. Being from Ohio, I'd say I have a good grasp on what constitutes a good Roast Beef Sandwich. Vicky had a good idea about it. For me there has to be a good balance between beef and bread. Vicky wasn't far off, she would have to raise her price to meet my expectations, so this didn't affect my review. Another thing every Ohio knows is that tomatoes on Sandwiches must be sliced thickly. I believe this is a fact no So Cal restranteur has an idea about. Again no stars deducted. PLEASE NOTE: This statement was based on personal preference and was by no means meant to be a put down.
