Food 5/5 Service 3.5/5 Ambiance 2.5/5 I've been wanting to try this spot for a while and I'm glad I did. Unfortunately the rain caused a plumbing issue resulting in sewage back up and bathrooms and half of the seating were closed. Thus, the reason for the low ambiance score. The food was very good, everything was fresh and the combination of flavors were perfectly flavored. I ordered the chicken avocado bowl with Romain and quinoa as a base. You can pick your own and I subbed crunchy rice vs. tortilla chips. I loved my bowl and wistfully look back to try some of the other bowls I saw other patrons order. This is a fast casual spot, you place your order while going down a line to select ingredients. At the end your salad or bowl is tossed and ready to eat. I loved it and recommend without reservation. read more

First time trying Sweetgreen and it did not disappoint. I decided to order the Chicken Sesame Crunch Salad and it was delicious. For the price you get a good portion, I loved the dressing and also liked that you can still customize it and add additional ingredients if you want. I ordered through the app during lunch time and it was ready within 10 minutes. I can't wait to come back and try their bowls and wraps as well. Also if you order through the app you can accumulate points for rewards. read more

Sweetgreen is kind of hit or miss for me. I've had other salads here before that were actually good, so I know they can do it right. But the chicken pesto parm was just not it. The flavor was really bland and honestly pretty disappointing. What made it worse was the price. Paying almost $20 for a salad that tasted like that hurt. I get the convenience and the healthy angle, but for that price, it really needs to deliver. I'd stick to their other salads next time because this one was honestly nasty read more

This was a busy day and my first time to sweetgreen. I think this was a case of 'it's not you, it's me'. I was in a hurry and placed a quick order to-go. The worker went through everything quickly, though I told her I'd never been there before. I ate on my dish a little at a time. I guess the wild and green stuff isn't necessarily my cup of tea. I came here. I tried their food. It's not for me. Thanks anyway. read more

Hey guys, finally got to try this place went there to have lunch and I was thoroughly impressed with the selections so many fresh vegetables, protein, different spices and sauces I was greeted warmly with was there any selections or things that I was looking for inside the restaurant? They offered me lots of selections or if I wanted to make my own I was very happy with all of the choices It's is a little small but lots of room to hang out and have lunch. The flavors were so good. I got the chicken avocado salad with extra trimmings and the cost is a little pricey, but you're getting fresh ingredients which I rather pay more for fresh than less soggy or old food. Definitely looking forward to next time. read more

Pretty good place for a basic salad. Nothing special. Their prices are high--typical bay area pricing.

Used to love sweetgreen but this is the second time I've found a long black hair in my bowl. They first tried to offer me a $10 credit for my $25 bowl until *I* requested a refund Looking at the reviews and others keep sharing the same or similar reviews of hair being in their food. Absolutely disgusting read more

Their salad gave me food poisoning which has lasted almost an entire week so far, and has yet to let up. I've had to take 3 days off of work because it was so severe that I couldn't even stand. If these symptoms don't improve I'll need to go to the emergency room, which will be very costly. All of this indicates poor food preparation, which I would expect to be non-existent when I pay $30 dollars for a salad. read more

This is my first time going to sweet green. I just found out it is a chain. I am giving it two stars, because it was completely over priced and I did not even like it. It felt really dry. I got the harvest bowl. Flavor was so bland as well. Not worth $15 at all. Steak was very dry. My partner thought his bowl was so little. Said the scoops were tiny and was not satisfied at all after. read more

Health choices and reasonably price. You can go to McDonald's and get some greasy unhealthy food for a couple bucks cheaper than a healthy plate/bowl from here. Their food is hot and fresh, and made to order so you know you're not getting anything that was reheated in a microwave. It's clean, organized, and the food line is quick due to the amount of workers they have. I favor the Caramelized Garlic Steak as it's tender and juicy bites go very nicely with the wild rice and sweet potatoes they offer. I highly recommend this place if you want something healthy and filling. read more

This was my first time at sweet green. I ordered the new cucumber kimchi salad and added miso salmon. The bowl was $20 & change. They ask you if you want light, medium or heavy amounts of dressing on your bowl. I asked for medium but my salad was swimming in dressing. Otherwise, the meal had loads of flavor and it was refreshing. The service and vibe was fine. Overall nothing amazing. I'd go back to try something that I may like more but I am not going back immediately. read more

I come in almost everyday and had never had an issue with adding tomatoes and removing parmesan crisps and dressing. The manager doesn't seem to care and instead of giving you options or letting you pay for the tomatoes, she says " I can't modify the order"! Girls serving you are also rude and simply add everything without asking, saying "you need to request for it from the beginning". Very complicated staff. People that work on weekdays give a better customer service. read more

I like this location better than the Berkeley location. They seem nicer here and seem to work more efficiently in terms of not having you wait as long to take your order. Parking can be iffy around here. I would park in multi level parking lot next to the theatre and walk over (it's free!). read more

Highly positive opinion of sweetgreen Walnut Creek location. It's probably the restaurant that I frequent the most within the downtown Walnut Creek area, due to having a sweetpass membership where I pay $10, which allows me to get $3 off every order, with a refresh period of 12-hour periods. The staff that works here are always friendly, the orders arriving timely, and them just knowing how to efficiently have folks in and out for this fast-casual category of restaurant. They definitely have folks that keep an eye out for utensils, to ensure that tables are made fit for sitting, and that all things run smoothly. When comparing this location to a couple of the other locations that I frequent - SOMA and Oakland City Center, I would drop it 1 star, down to the current 4 star rating. It is marginally less expensive than some items than the SOMA location, but in terms of cleanliness, sometimes the staff would be too busy tending to customers to empty out the compostable bins. This has resulted in frequent overflowing of the compostable bins and a huge mess by their disposal area by their restrooms. When compared to the Oakland City Center location, I would rank this higher in terms of timely pick-up orders, but noticed that some items are about $1-$1.50 more expensive than this Walnut Creek location. The food is always fresh, with quality ingredients, and well portioned. I would stay that this is one of the main selling points and why I decided to sign up for a sweetpass. read more

Did I just order from Temu?! Hahaha The steak looks so good from the photos posted online, as well as from the menu and the big photo in store. From ads, photos and menu, you see a nicely grilled medium/medium rare steak sliced in strips.....then you get this over seasoned (not garlicy anyway) quite salty well done beef cubes (looks more like beef stewed lol). And yes, you would definitely need a dressing to tone the salt down. Yes, super disappointed. I miss Tender Greens here in Walnut Creek! read more

Placed an online order. Once you submit, it can't be canceled. I ordered a $370 lunch for my customers. The delivery date was wrong. And there was absolutely no way to cancel or reschedule. I'm livid. There's no live customer support. It's all automated. read more

I go here 3x a week and my salad is consistently excellent. To top it off, Kat and her crew are very kind when picking up orders!

Before today I loved sweetgreen and almost got it daily. The Walnut Creek location has huge issues. I was ignored by Cat the manager. She was beyond disrespectful. I drove home only to find out no cucumbers in my miso salmon. So I had to drive 20 mins back only to be told they had to throw the other bowl away. Why!? That is so wasteful and just wrong. I would like for someone to contact me because wasting quality food is terrible and distasteful. This makes me never want to eat at another sweetgreen again. If my concerns are not meant I will post about this on my social media. As I have over 3 million followers who will be notified that Sweetgreen waste their food even when it was their fault. Zero stars if I could ! Cat, you should retire. read more

I had a really delicious steak salad, with the help of the friendly employees. I've definitely had rude service at this location, but not today. They gladly helped with my food allergies and were patient when I had to look up something about one of their ingredients. I'm not sure I would eat at this place because it seems a bit uncomfortable (chairs) and cold, so I usually get my meals to go. read more

Went here during my lunch break and there was a line but they still got through everyone quickly! I got the chicken avocado ranch bowl (3.5/5). The ranch was veryyy pickled, didn't taste like ranch to be honest, wasn't a big fan of that. The ingredients were fresh, the apple in the salad was a great choice! I wish they gave more chicken though, especially for the price you pay. Overall still nice spot for a healthier lunch :) read more

One word: yikes! I'm sorry but this place is a joke. The way they charge for more than 4 veggie toppings and give the smallest measly scoop of protein. I laughed out loud when I saw how small the scoop of protein was; I literally thought they were playing a joke on me. Their bowls are crazy expensive (around $16-$19) and it just increases if you want more toppings. Even fried onions or crispy rice on the top at the end is considered a topping and you'll be charged for it! That's insane to me. For them to charge extra for every little thing is actually wild. I have never been scammed in this way before from a restaurant. The guy making my order was also a little lost and didn't know what he was doing. He was not helpful at all. I felt so confused and scammed from this whole experience. The food also isn't even that good!! That's what's insane to me. I will never be coming back! If you are considering coming here, don't. There's a ton of restaurants around this area that can fill you up, satisfy you better, give you better quality and service, and cost less. read more

I like the food , but this time I asked how much extra scoop of steak was and they said between 4 or 5 dollars, which was fine ,looked at my receipt later and it was $6.95, people are trying there but be aware they don't know pricing.Also manager says to contact them and then sends email that doesn't work, read more

I had an incredibly frustrating experience with Sweetgreen support and feel compelled to share it. I made an online order in error and tried to correct it immediately, but Sweetgreen provides no way to edit or cancel an order and no way to contact the store directly. Their automated system makes it impossible to resolve a simple mistake. I contacted support right away and was told I would receive a refund and that someone would follow up within twenty four hours. No one ever reached out. When I tried again, I had to repeat the entire situation to another support agent who confirmed I would be connected to a live person. That agent then told me they would only refund a single item, not the entire incorrect order, even though I had placed a corrected order only minutes later. I explained that this policy creates a situation where customers have no way to fix a mistake and no way to speak with a store before an order is made. Their response was to repeat policy language instead of addressing the situation or offering a reasonable solution. The end result was no meaningful help, no accountability for the earlier promise of a full refund, and several long back and forth messages that went nowhere. This experience made it clear that Sweetgreen does not support customers who use their own online ordering system. What should have been an easy fix turned into a very poor experience that left me feeling unheard and dismissed. I will not be ordering from Sweetgreen again until they improve their system and their customer support. read more

Alas, I wanted a salad and was kind of in a hurry so here I am. So the line wasn't too long at lunchtime, yet it def took more than one would think to get my order in. About $16 for a pretty pedestrian salad, but to be fair it only had 500 calories. So, there ya are. The salad you asked? I got the buffalo chicken with blackened chicken, buffalo sauce, caesar dressing, blue cheese and tomatoes. Again, 500 calories, but nothing crazy here. I'd imagine the calories all came from the dressing. I asked for some purple cabbage to brighten up this dish with both texture and color, and they let me know that it would be extra. Again, eh? The main gripe: it was so noisy inside AND (big and here), there was no seating. This is a one off, but like kind of a big one off: Like literally the chairs were gone, minus a few. I followed up with the staff and they were like oh, yeah, they were taken, we are getting new ones. Well, that is great, but like new one's weren't there yet. So, my friend and I ate seated next to each other at a booth, talking loudly to compensate for the very loud spot. Overall, pass for me, but by no means a bad spot for an average lunch! read more

My only issue with this location is before I've ordered they've been really slow but the second time I ordered it was fine. I've also been inside before and it had ac and was pretty clean. Sweetgreen has some premade bowl options but I just tweak it a little bit and it's the perfect salad. A little overpriced to some but I definitely have it as a treat. read more

First time here and I got the guacamole greens salad which I'll rate an 8/10 Portion 10/10 Quality of the salad and ingredients 10/10 Dressing was a 7/10 Rosemary focaccia bread (extra side) was also a 10/10 The salad was crisp and fresh, the tortilla chips gave it a necessary crunch, & the portion of the chicken was just right, however I felt like it lacked substance- you could add extra toppings so that's definitely what I would do next time. If you're someone who wants a healthy eat// are a conscious eater that prefers to eat more sustainably, more vegetables, greens, or variety- you'll like this place! I look forward to coming back and trying more items! read more

Met my friend here for our pre-Christmas lunch that we do annually in Walnut Creek. Sure it's pricey but then again what isn't these days? Especially when you're served fresh, high quality ingredients. I thought their pre-configured salad and bowl options had a lot of variety. Something for everyone! I got the California crunch hummus salad which was packed full of flavorful veggies, hummus, chick peas and pita croutons. Very yummy. I don't like olives and they let you substitute so I got shredded carrots and dressing on the side. Nice and filling lunch. Space is on the smaller side for eating in but it seemed most customers were there for take out. Service was friendly and prompt. They kept busy with the steady stream of everyone coming in but kept pace, definitely would go again! read more

Tried it for the first time a couple weeks ago and came back again the other day. The first time I went ordered the guacamole greens. I actually felt like they give you a good portion of food for how much you pay. You can either get it with the dressing on the side or mixed it. I got the dressing mixed in. They give you different options for how much dressing you want, light, medium, or heavy. I went with the medium. The medium dressing coated everything but it was not drowning in the dressing too. The added chips to the salad was a nice texture difference in the salad. The chicken was cooked well, it didn't feel dried out. The only thing I wasn't too excited about it, toward the end of the salad you could really taste the lime in the dressing where it got too citrus. read more

Really great spot to grab a quick healthy meal. I love customizing my own bowl because there's so many options to choose from. All ingredients are fresh and locally sourced. I recommend getting the sauce on the side, you can choose as many as you like and mix and match. Definitely my go to spot for salads. read more

Came for dinner here at 8:30 PM, they're prepping for closing from what it looks like. Only one person sitting down, eating a couple of workers behind the counter, all the greens are put away and there's no more rice coming out as well as proteins. They were completely out of the wild rice and the salmon. For both of my dishes. I asked what time they were closing they said 10 PM. Very frustrating to come to an establishment and they're not prepared. If you're not going to have the necessary items to make items on your menu, then you need to close earlier. read more

From the looks of the place figured it's something new in WC, so we decided to give it a try. To start with - excellent service and that's what grabbed our attention. Don't know the name of the gentleman with cool tattoos - you are a star of this place! No to the food quality: Kale Cesar bowl - kale and chicken nicely chopped, however salad leaves I couldn't wrap my fist in them. Giant and barely fit in my mouth. Slightly unpleasant. Excellent Garlicky dressing. Hot honey chicken plate - cool ingredients, although soggy and spicy hot for breastfeeding mommy. So be careful with that. Overall - simple, new and pleasant for the grab and go experience. read more
