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

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

I liked Sweetgreens a lot, but the quality and portions have declined significantly. Ordered pick up and was disappointed to find black/brown avocado that was not edible. They should have better quality control and not serve food that is obviously rotten and turning bad. 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

This was my first experience at Sweetgreen. I did the build your own salad so the review, may be partially aimed at me... :p I did the ranch dressing and added avocado and I added blacked chicken. The salad was really good. The restaurant was clean and a little busy. Grabbed a table by the bathroom. Needed to ask staff for the code. I would come back and try the bowls. read more

This place reminded me of a salad spot I LOVE in Seattle (lemme know if you want the name) so I decided to give it a lunch try with my honey. He got the super green goddess and I built my own. The salads were great but I wasn't overly impressed with the build your own. There are lots of options but they charge extra for anything over 4 basic items - once you build a basic salad (tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and carrots) you're out of options and the fees start adding up. I also wanted to try the blackened chicken but they were out so I settled for the mushrooms which were super delish. Also tried the roasted sweet potatoes with the hot honey mustard and they would have been SO much better had they been hot and actually roasted. I ate some cooked and some undercooked potatoes. The dressing was chefs kiss though. I would try this place again. I give a little grace because they just opened, it's a new location, and they are finding their footing. read more

I am so excited that the Sweetgreen Walnut Creek location is open finally! I was able to snag a $5 off coupon for opening week from the Walnut Creek Downtown website. I downloaded the app and referred my boyfriend which gave him $7 off his bowl and $7 off my next bowl! We both ordered ahead via the app for pickup. By the time we arrived, the employees directed us to a separate area of the restaurant designated for pickups. I love that they did this to make lunch time pickups during work easy and quick. We grabbed our salads and sat there to enjoy. I requested mine to be mixed beforehand which is nice to avoid the hassle. Please note - I recommend only doing this for pickup as delivery times can vary and you don't want a soggy salad. I got the Mexican style bowl and my boyfriend got the fish bowl. Both were very delicious, healthy, fresh, and filling! I am seriously so excited to finally have a local salad spot! read more

I have loved Sweetgreens for years. Today I selected a location in CA on Google maps. I clicked order through business directly, and instead of placing it at that location, it selected a location I had previously ordered at while traveling. I immediately contacted support, within seconds, and they wouldn't cancel. I had to contact support again and they still refused and told me to pick it up at the location I ordered it. That would be an 8 hour plan ride and I explained that and he said due to food waste, there was nothing he could do. It was not until I asked to escalate that he continued to scold me and then agreed to refund me one time. It costs far less to make the food than what we pay and the food waste comment means nothing if nobody can eat it. This company has terrible service. read more

Food - their salad, tofu felt like plastic. Service - the staff were extremely rude, unwelcoming, and unhelpful. Don't dine here! read more

I love Sweetgreen. It's so incredibly delicious. They source their ingredients locally and their containers and utensils are all compostable. The staff was super proactive and friendly today. I just wish they had free parking here. read more

Came here with my vegan friend since they are vegan friendly but they were out of tofu which is the only protein she can eat so she basically just had a salad with lots of mushrooms. I got the bbq chicken salad and it was just ok. The service was friendly. Can't say I would eat here again. read more

When I'm trying to watch my weight/eat healthy, this is one of my go-to spots. The salads are above average in taste, generously portioned, and filling. I've tried a bunch of their offerings and the kale caesar is definitely my favorite! I enjoy that they regularly have seasonal dishes to choose from, which add to their already decently sized menu. The line inside can move a bit slow at times, so ordering ahead of time using their app may be a good option to consider. I'm not a big fan of eating salads as a meal, but when I do, I know Sweetgreen has me covered. They make eating healthy a lot more enjoyable. Overall, I give this place an 9/10. read more

Long overdue trying this! It reminds me of a slightly higher-end Mixt. I visited at noon, and the line was almost out the door but moved quickly. Lots of indoor seating and the lighting inside is gorgeous because of all the windows. I ordered the chicken pesto parm bowl, and was able to substitute a few items for no extra cost. I was shocked to see how big the portion was, it is more than enough for two meals. There's an option for a free slice of sourdough along with the bowl (the person serving me gave me 3, I feel spoiled!). Definitely on the pricy side for a salad. My order came out to around $17 including tip. I do feel like I could recreate it pretty easily, but I thought it was worth it for the fresh ingredients, portion size, and nice ambiance. read more

We stopped here for lunch while running errands downtown. There was a line but staff kept it moving quickly. Menu options were clear, including estimated calories for each dish. We ordered the hummus kale salad and the kale Caesar. The servings were huge (we ate half and took the rest home to have with dinner), and the salads flavorful. The interior was clean and busy; we ate outdoors. read more

The walnut creek location .. was not the cleanliest place .. all tables were dirty and trash can overflowing, the food was good the service great , but tables and garbage cans need to be cleaned periodically ... will think again before visiting this location read more

I got a chance to try this place out on September 13th, 2024. I was on my lunch break and I was looking for something new, something I never had before. sweetgreen was where I decided to go to. I walked in. It made use of natural light and even had green and white aesthetics, which was pleasing. Considering this place used to be a furniture shop, it was rather impressive seeing how this was set up. I got a create-your-own-bowl, and I made sure it had things I wanted on there. And I even got a bottle of Green Tea as well; the Green Tea was okay, but the food was DEFIANTLY delicious. The downside is that it's rather pricey, but that's to be expected. And maybe it's just me, but were the portions supposed to be large? Or this is just how it is? Then again, I was just super hungry that day. But I have no complaints about the food whatsoever. Bring extra money with you if you do decide to try this place out. I also hear they have a rewards program, so if you plan on frequenting this place, sign up for their rewards program. read more

It's a shame because I love the menu here, but they are always out of basic ingredients like kale or basil or cabbage, so it changed the recipes a lot. It's a little better when you go there vs takeout because you can substitute better, but ordering takeout leaves you with a very sad amount of food and paying $25 for scraps. Photo shows my order that I paid $50 for two warm bowls. Paid extra for chicken and other toppings, which were missing. Notes are also always ignored if you're ordering on platforms other than their own SG app so forget that. read more

Very quick and delicious eats. If you're looking for a healthy choice, this is definitely the place to go!

I tried the miso bowl, there's a hint of spicy flavor, not what I was expecting. My aunt tried the same thing. I feel like we were chewing for hours lol... Flavors were all there. The miso bowl came w a slice of bread which helped since I originally added rosemary focaccia but cancelled that since the slice was included. Service was good. I also appreciated that he asked us if we wanted light, medium, or heavy sauce. He offered to toss our salads for us which helped so we didn't have to. He was very courteous. There is only interior seating and it enough for a salad place. I liked our front corner table full of sunshine. I wish every restaurant was this conscious about waste because the food is all served in compostable materials down to the utensils. There is also a water station with Togo sauce containers. Even the restrooms are equipped with air dryers to minimize waste. We will be returning another time to continue trying their various menu offerings. read more

Where to start. I try to order the camelized steak plate and they are out of the rice. No problem I ask for double sweet potatoes. Sorry, can't do that as there's an up charge. Weird but okay. Oh we are out of broccoli too. Bummer. Okay sub it for avacado. Oh that's an up charge. Mam, you're out of products and trying to charge me $25 for a $18 meal. In this economy. I walked out. Avoid this place until they get their act together. read more

Good salads! The prices make sense for what you are getting, clean, sustainable, healthy, organic ingredients. It's like chipotle for salads. The service is always good, most of the time great. Some employees are heavy handed while others follow protocol. They are pretty friendly. The lobby is usually clean and the bathroom requires a code. Shoutout to greg and Mickey, they are the absolute best. Good place for a healthy meal! P.S. there is a confusing tip machine. You have to press a number that corresponds to the tip amount you would like to give on the screen then the green circle at the very bottom to confirm or the button above the red X is the option for no tip. Do not press the red X it cancels it and then it's awkward. read more

usually i LOVE sweetgreen - never had a problem and usually order the same custom bowl. however today i ordered my normal order and received a dressing SOUP. my salad was literally drenched in dressing and the flavors were so strong i needed so much water to pair with it. my friends bowl had unknown hair in her bowl. i must say the takeout service was pretty quick though. read more

$16 for the smallest salad -- I go to Sweetgreen pretty regularly and don't normally regret my order (Customizable Salad with addons: mushrooms, cauliflower, brussels sprouts). But I just went in, and my normal order weighed half what it normally does -- the salad was tiny, and the portions are crazy small given that this is a $16 salad (see photo). This container is half full. The staff is great! Service here is always amazing, but I hope that management allows the team to add a little more to salads, because $16 for this tiny bowl is not worth it. read more

Harvest bowl is so great. It's a lot of food for what you get and the sweet potatoes and quinoa are my favorites with the warm bowls. Best place to go for a workday lunch or a healthy dinner. My go to place in Walnut Creek for a healthy meal. My only gripe is I hate when they won't mix my salad when I pick up my take out order. This seems to be a new thing to save time but I don't like mixing it at wherever I'm going. It's messy and the goat cheese never breaks up. Please don't make me do this in front of other people trying to eat their lunches. read more

My first experience at sweetgreen was great. The service was quick and friendly and my chicken avocado bowl (sub arugula and add chili flakes) was soooo good. So good that I kept trying to fit in another visit and about a month later, I did. I got the same thing but added some kale to it and while it was not as delicious, it was still pretty good. The location is clean and simple and a self serve water station provided everything I needed. In comparing my two visits, I have to say, some employees have a heavier hand than others which I appreciate especially when it comes to protein. It is fairly pricey ($17 for a salad/bowl) but the portion isn't skimpy. read more

Got food poisoning. Ordered the autumn protein bowl. Come to find my neighbors received food poisoning from this restaurant too.

Can't say that I order many salads when I go out to eat but Sweetgreen is more than just a salad lol I landed on doing the create your own and was delightfully impressed - everything was super fresh and I enjoyed their green goddess ranch much more than I expected to. Nice touch that they offer lemons and crushed red pepper. And the slice of bread is the cherry on top. Definitely the most filling salad I've ever had read more

Although Sweetgreen has been around for some time, today was my first time trying it when a rep brought it to work. I had the Shroomami bowl, which was tasty but a little too salty for my liking. I'm not sure if the saltiness comes from the dressing or one of the ingredients. The tofu, wild rice, and mushrooms were cooked perfectly. Veggies were fresh - yay for kale as I'm trying to increase the amount of iron in my diet! Other items I want to try are the fish taco bowl, elote bowl (seasonal), kale Caesar salad, super green goddess, farmhouse Caesar, and the roasted sweet potatoes. I love that there's the option to add and remove ingredients. I'm not sure why I haven't tried Sweetgreen until now but better late than never. With this location close to home and work, I look forward to enjoying a bowl or salad in the near future! read more

Really fresh ingredients. Great portions. They're not stingy with the dressing it's just enough (but not so bare that you have to ask for more each time). The items that should be hot are hot like the sweet potatoes. Nice atmosphere lots of light. Also line moves fast perfect for lunch. read more

Healthy bowls and salads made to order. They offer some protein plates as well. If you want to customize you can but it's a little confusing. Quality ingredients and ok portions. Interior is utilitarian and not that great. We prefer it to go. If there's a line be prepared to wait a while - they are not that fast, and the lack of instruction on customizing further adds to how long it takes people to make your stuff because everything has to be this involved conversation. In spite of all of that, I gave them a four on the strength of the food, which is high quality. read more

3.5 stars, but rounding up because the service is always friendly. Your typical salad spot, nothing special and always expensive.

My husband and I went to the Walnut Creek location. The people that made the salad were nice. When we got to the register, the girl who rung my husband I was not pleasant. My husband wanted to play on separate receipts. She looked annoyed at this request. Luckily, I had my credit card with me. She proceeded to roll her eyes at this request. When I asked for a plate, she proceeded to get annoyed, simple forgot, then I guess it occurred to her that I asked for it. My husband asked for the receipt of his order, she proceeded to roll her eyes again this request. When you are dealing with people, you need to have your game face on. You have to put personal stuff behind you. If you are not a people person, that I suggest you don't work in this kind of environment. read more

After my experience, I'm not surprised at the low reviews of this place. I used to like coming here until my run-in with the manager, Sara K yesterday. So they were out of sweet potatoes, the cold ones, and the only ones that they had were the hot ones that were premium items. I asked if they can make an exception because I really wanted to get their dishes that had sweet potatoes in them and I didn't feel like I should have to pay extra. A majority of the dishes have sweet potatoes, and if they're charging clients extra because they're out of something cold vs hot, that's on them. By charging customers extra, you're making them either pay more than they should or not get the type of food that they come there for. I asked for the manager, and she came out with an attitude and was not willing to help me.. I asked her about the situation to see if she can make an exception, anything to help me get what I needed. Nope! She just brushed me off and said if I make an exception for you have to make it for everyone.I asked her if she could work with me, that would be great because I really love their dishes and that I don't feel like I should have to pay because they didn't manage correctly and ran out of an item I told her that I didn't want her helping me if she could refer me to somebody else because her attitude was just horrible. I told her I was going to report it she said " go ahead" and shrugged. So here you go.... read more
