Great place for a quick lunch with lots of options! I got the kabobi bowl and it was a well balanced filling meal. The prices are comparable to cava or sweet green, and the portions are somewhere in between the two. read more

They're menu lists a dairy free smoothie option (oat milk and banana) I would've taken any flavor. But when I went in they wouldn't make it. I was tired after a long day and did my research to be sure I could order what I wanted only to show up and be turned away. read more

Sweet leaf on Quincy is such a hidden gem. They have four or five breakfast options, I've tried them all and they are great. My favorite is the morning glory sandwich. They serve breakfast all day but don't start serving lunch until 10:00 am. My recommendation for bowls is the Kabboi, super flavorful/filling. Recommendation for salad is the spicy avocado, unique mix of ingredients that work well together. Recommendation for sandwich is the San Remo, probably won't be able to finish it cause it's huge. As you can tell I've tried everything! final tip, be sure to order on the app, skip the line and get reward points. read more

Delicious and healthy breakfast combined with excellent service! The staff were very helpful and generous in attending to my daughter's wants. . Especially for her love for pickles. The food was fresh and dishes creative. I'll be back. read more

Have a food allergy? Well, sucks for you. Often times the staff is on Autopilot and they make the salad no matter what you ask them to modify it with. Oh, you try to clarify and ask them to re-make it correctly? The staff will give you talk back and attitude. Which honestly, just takes unnecessary time out of my day and makes me feel bad for no reason That's the 'live' experience. This has happened to me 3 times now so I don't think it's just someone having a bad day. Now. As for the delivery experience. I ordered a salad the other day on Uber Eats with VERY specific instructions. I talked with the Uber Eats driver on the phone and he assured me that the staff made the salad correctly. Right? WRONG. I am lactose intolerant and I can't eat bacon. My salad had both of those things and therefore that was money down the drain. TLDR: delicious salads but the staff is incompetent and insensitive towards food allergies or modifications. read more

Fresh food, great service. We've dined-in and had food delivered and both experiences were great. Love the variety of salads and smoothies. My only wish is that they offered non-dairy smoothie options. read more

I'm so excited Sweet Leaf has finally opened in Ballston. It's a great place to get a sandwich and salad, or soup when they have it. Plus, they have ice cream, too, which is always and plus, and they are open for breakfast. I ordered my favorite, the caprese sandwich, which is always tasty. Staff was friendly and they let me know about the rewards card. It was quiet in there, but I hope it starts to build a good business. read more

You had me the moment I walked through your doors. I felt like I was entering an adorable farm fresh Pinterest board. You know the board, the one everyone wants and pins. I loved my experience there. The environment was very warm and friendly, bright and energizing, but also relaxing. They offer quite a lot of freshly made items. They have all of their fresh ingredients at the very front so you see what you are eating and how it was made. The employees were super friendly. They also asked if I wanted to join their loyalty program...well, of course I did! But unfortunately, I don't live here. Although they make a strong case to move here; how about Sweet Leaf move to Charlotte and we call it even? If you're not familiar with their location, it's next to Residence Inn. My food was made quickly leaving me more time to sit and relax...and to write this post. read more

Had the simple morning glory, but cannot wait to return for anything else on the menu. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, and not a bad price for breakfast. The vegetables all looked fresh, the place was clean, and the service was terrific. $5.50 read more

I have only been to this location one other time, the first experience was good. However this time wasn't so pleasant. Flies everywhere place did not seem clean. Employee when trying to close the salad bowl kept touching the lettuce with his hands. He also kept looking up at the menu since he didn't even know what was in the salad. Overall place seemed dirty and staff wasn't too friendly when I asked a question about the salad. Won't come back to this location. Go to Taylor next door. read more

Had the harvest bowl after a workout which contaings, eggs, fresh feta, pesto, greens... and it was delicious and guilt free! The ingredients tasted very fresh and the service was great, I barely waited at all. The location is very convenient if you are looking for a quick bite after a workout at the Ballston Gold's Gym. I saw a few more options I am interested in trying so I will likely be back soon, the only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because the menu isn't very extensive but otherwise a great find and vegetarian friendly! read more

I am not exaggerating when I say this may be the best sandwich shop I have been to in the Northern VA area. I've had something different the 5ish times I have been here and everything has been great. There's so much variety that everyone will have something to choose from they will enjoy. The staff is friendly and the environment is perfect. This is definitely a place where you can sit down for lunch or even study for a few hours. 5 STARS!!! read more

Sweet Leaf - Caprese - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

It's not lost on a lot of us this restaurant does nothing to close its outdoor dining during the pandemic. Arlington county is among the hardest hit in VA and sure enough the patio is often frequented by no-mask jerkoffs not interested in helping to get things back to normal. Viruses don't give a damn about opinion or afflictions -- so keep going like that and see what happens. Very disappointed. read more

Love them. Use the app and pick it up. Then save $7 about once a month. Fresh and healthy. Good help. I always order the custom salad and get it may just the way I like it. read more

After going to Sweet Leaf on Quincy Street in Arlington VA, for quite some time now, I was surprised today when I ordered my Turkey and Apple sandwich to later find out after I got to work that I was given the end of the bread. Although I ate it, being that I had no choice, and I couldn't go back to Sweet Leaf, I was very disappointed. This changed the whole taste of my sandwich. The only reason I didn't give it just one star on my review is because I am a repeat customer and I've had much better experiences in the past. When you get the end of the bread, it often covers up the taste of the sandwich, which defeats the purpose of getting such a high priced sandwich. Thank you. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This place is amazing for so many reasons but here are a few: SERVICE: Everyone greets you with a smile and by name if you go regularly. Jessica M (the manager) is incredibly kind, professional and remembers my orders! They get you in and out of there so quickly! Perfect for a quick lunch or stay awhile for dinner in the comfortable booths in the back. FOOD: The food is healthy and delicious! None of the cheap stuff. Real meat, fresh veggies and LARGE portions. Everything is deliciously seasoned. They have a lot of options and their ice cream and cookies are to die for! I have replaced one meal a day with a sweat leaf salad and have lost 25lbs in 4 months. DECOR: I love the design of the place. It is modern yet cozy. The wood is beautiful! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

This place looks like another salad and soup place but I was wrong. Sweet Leaf had tons of options from salad, sandwiches, frozen yogurt, smoothies and breakfast! The potion size are huge and the the ingredients is fresh from the farm. Highly recommend stopping by this place to cure your cravings! read more

Finally made it to Sweet Leaf, tried the Thai salad which was just ok but could've had more variation in the greens or other things mixed in. I liked the tofu option. I also tried the healthy start veggie breakfast sandwich, which was underwhelming - just wheat toast, egg whites, a bunch of spinach, and mushrooms (I ordered without cheese). For $5, I would go with a Starbucks breakfast sandwich or make my own. The decor was well done, simple but nice. They appear to have a lot of healthy, fresh options too, so maybe I'll try a make your own salad next time. The brownie was delicious with a nice crisp edge and fudge middle with chocolate chips. I'll definitely be back to try their shakes. read more

Walked into the Sweetleaf in Arlington and was surprised to see the selection. Had a bomb So Cal Cobb Salad and the lemonade was as good as the "Chick" place ;). Definitely going back for lunch! The service was ok, but the plates were bigger than expected and seemed super fresh. Lotsa choices for lunch in Arlington and this is my new spot! read more

We were on the look out for some breakfast food and was surprised that Sweet Leaf came up on our search. We are so use to thinking that they only had salad. We got a breakfast burrito and a sandwich. Nothing too special about either one but we were happy to fid a place that wasn't too crowded. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. I adore the wood inside and the decor. The bathrooms were cute too. I'll probably stick to coming here for salads since their breakfast menu is just okay. read more

Quality-wise, this place is a big thumbs up! I got the Mai Thai salad and it was really good, mainly because of the peanut dressing. The tofu was cooked to a perfect level of crunchy satisfaction, the greens tasted fresh, and the quinoa just made me feel very healthy and proud of myself. On the other hand, I was still starving after I had this meal. The portion looks large because the salad bowls are huge, but when you really think about what's in a salad and how much of the bowl is -actually- filled with food, it's not a lot. Don't expect to be satisfied if you're hungry. Don't expect this to be a full meal's worth (unless you're used to eating very light meals). I completely don't mind that it's not super filling...I get that salads aren't going to be. But if I'm paying a meal's worth of money, I kind of want a meal's worth of food. The decor is very homey and quaint. They have succulents on every table (and I'm a huge fan of succulents so that was a plus) and it feels like it's a good place to eat a nice meal and talk about life with your friends. Or just eat a salad and feel good about yourself. One last thing...I wish there were signs or something that told you what to do with your plates and such. I'm sure it's self explanatory but just one little sign would be helpful. read more

Sweet Leaf - My Thai - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This place is absolutely amazing! I had steak in my salad for the first time, and the pairing was out of this world. Definitely will come back for more. read more

I came in for a quick takeaway lunch on a Saturday after an appointment in the area and Sweet Leaf definitely delivered on the goods. The location is in the bottom of a hotel or next to a hotel; I can't remember which situation. I was able to pull up and park easily but I imagine during the work week parking is limited. There was no line; I was in and out in 5 minutes. The employee at the beginning of the production line greeted me immediately and began working on my kale Cobb salad. When I specified I did not want the almonds, I was asked if I'd like a substitute ingredient, of which I asked for strawberries. At the end of assembly, I was asked if I wanted fresh bread, but I declined. The salad came to around $12 but was a really large portion with fresh ingredients, including, avocado, egg, bacon,onion,grilled chicken,and tomato. The dressing was a light vinaigrette and, pre-tossed, was not overwhelming, as I often find salads drowning in dressing. Several of the sandwiches looked delicious, and they have frozen yogurt too. I'd happily stop in to Sweet Leaf again if I'm in the area. read more

Not only is it overpriced( I paid $18 for a sandwich and smoothie) but it gave me the worst food poisoning I've had in YEARS. Do not come.

Had the Koo Koo Roo sandwich and it was excellent. It was a bit on the spicy side which I like. Ladies had salads which they really enjoyed also. Again, some spicy. Their lemonade was okay. A bit too sweet and could have been lemonier. However, we came back the next day and they were out of chicken which seems to a staple in a lot of their food. They really did not have acceptable substitutes and did not offer any discount for meals minus the chicken. I'm tempted to lower to 3 stars for this but maybe it was an anomoly. read more

Outstanding. A solid five stars based upon quality of food, price, service, and atmosphere. Quality of food: fresh and high quality ingredients, many sourced from local farms. I love the Caprese sandwich and my wife loves the Saboroso salad. Our children enjoy the PBJ and BLTs from the kid's menu. Price: cheap for this area. $5 for a BLT? $9 for a sandwich that blows any other out of the water? And it's delicious? Great deal. Also, their app allows you to get discounts and they always have fresh ice water available for free. Relatedly, since you can just order, collect your food, grab your utensils and sit down-- it's much cheaper than other places because you needn't tip. Service: always friendly and ready to make your meal exactly as you like it. Atmosphere: lovely. Immaculate. Free WiFi. Comfortable seating in a rustic but relaxed decor. Great place that never disappoints. Ideal for a quick bite to take away or to sit inside and enjoy the scene. read more

So so good. This place blows sweetgreen out of the water. And the best thing is they offer delicious, healthy breakfast options. I highly recommend you try the Farmers sandwich or the Malibu melt, you can't go wrong with a brioche bun for your breakfast sandwich! The ingredients are always fresh and high quality. Prices are comparable to other fast casual places. Overall this place is a gem if you're in search of a healthy quick lunch. read more

A good place for people visiting nearby blocks to have a quick lunch. The place was clean and spacious. There were many options on the menu to choose from and staff behind the counter made sandwiches and salad bowls for us quickly. The price was good too. read more

The famous chef Thomas loves to eat the Sweet Leaf Craft Your Own Salad. Excellent flavors in the sides and the plum dressing is excellent. Only add a little bit of the plum dressing, otherwise it will overtake the taste of the vegetables. Fast service, read more

This place has a nice selection of sandwiches and salads with interesting & fresh ingredients. They had low calorie, Vegan and Gluten Free selection as well. It's a cute place but not open for dine in right now but you can order via app or online and do pick up or delivery. They do have reserved spaces for pick-up right in front of store, so it was quick and convenient to pick-up. I will definitely order from here again and look forward to trying more of the menu. read more

I had a delicious breakfast bowl here to be honest I can't remember exactly what I got but I do remember that I loved it and I wish I lived closer so I could go back more often they had big tables to sit at a really nice service and a large counter of different things to choose from to have put in your breakfast or your salad for lunch or whatever it is that you want it was completely fresh and very healthy and satisfying read more

Have been here a few times for breakfast since it is close to my girlfriend's apartment. I usually get the sunrise burrito which is pretty tasty. They have smoothies too which are very refreshing. It is never too crowded, very clean on the inside, and they have outdoor seating. Overall solid food stop if you're ever in the Ballston neighborhood of Arlington. read more

Worse food EVER!!! Ordered the sandwich for lunch. Found a bug in my sandwich and the service that came afterwards was disgusting. POOR POOR SERVICE AND TERRIBLE FOOD. read more

This review is not based on the restaurant as a whole, as I have had some decent food there in the past, but on the utterly grotesque salad I had there today. I ordered a Nicoise salad and there was nothing Nicoise about it. A classic Nicoise salad must have the following ingredients to be considered as such: Hard boiled egg Green beans Red skinned potatoes Tuna (fresh or in some cases, canned) Nicoise olives *And preferably, a savory vinaigrette as opposed to sweet Sweet leaf had one of those five ingredients, hard boiled eggs, and they were chopped which when tossed around in their too sweet vinaigrette, just dissolved into yellow eggy paste that coated everything. I've had many Nicoise salads -- some quite good, actually -- that did not fall into the classic Nicoise salad category. What made this salad utterly inedible in my mind, was that they added overly sweet and soppy tuna salad to it. And then they tossed the heck out of it so that every piece of anything in that salad had a coating of that heavy, sweet and soppy tuna salad on it rendering it limp and just plain gross. So I couldn't have picked around the grossness even if I tried. I would suggest that Sweet Leaf either completely rethink this recipe or take it off the menu. In the meantime, unless my description of this salad sounds appealing to you, I would highly recommend you avoid this salad. read more

I came to this place for the first time today even though I've lived 2 blocks aways from it ever since it opened. I wanted to try it because I like healthy eating and farm to table concepts. The service was really slow and I was the only person in there. Literally the only customer. I ordered the healthy snack sandwich (spinach, egg white, mushroom, on whole wheat). It didn't excite me, but it wasn't bad. The latte I ordered was good. It was just a plain latte and they did a good job. I also got a smoothie here and I don't like that they don't have options on the menu for them. I had to pick my own from the random assortment of fruits they had. They didn't even have strawberries or bananas. So I got kiwi and tangerine slices. They blend it with yogurt I think. It was ok, but it was just a weird blend and I was disappointed in the choices they had. All in all, this place bores me. I would only go back if I had to. So many better options in this area. read more

The food at Sweet Leaf is consistently excellent and service is very efficient. McLean location has decent outdoor seating and even occasional live entertainment. The only real knock on it is the menu is somewhat limited. One of our local go-to options! read more

This would be 5 stars, but I'd hesitate to order delivery again. I ordered the Kale Cobb salad, and it arrived with no chicken. That's a quite a main ingredient to leave off, so made my salad sub-par. There's also doesn't seem to be a way to report this since I ordered through Yelp/GrubHub. read more

One of my favorite places to eat! Everytime I order the food is great I never have to worry about quality. They mixed my order up one time but fixed the situation the same day when I called them and was able to pick it up. Also, if you order ahead the food is always done in a timely manner. I love Sweet Leaf! If you are unsure what to get try the Chimichurri Steak Bowl, Sabroso Bowl, So Cali Sandwich, and or the Chicken Caesar Salad which are all amazing. Also the cookies are great! Thank me later. Oh back already? You're welcome read more
