Holy Guacamole Greens. Yes, the only reason why I paid $9.50 for a salad is because I didn't (I had a wristband from Sunday's Sweetlife festival good for one free salad) but I may put my stingy, Jewish tendencies aside and cough up the 10 bones for a local, healthy, and sustainable salad that actually was enough for a meal. I thought maybe Sweetgreen had one of those "Look at us! We're Green" facades, but the people making the salads actually are composting waste, the products are local and listed, and maybe thats why the place is so expensive. I'm not saying I will pay $10 for a salad all the time, but I do get that being green costs more than not. That being said, I think this place is a bit like designer jeans, scaling up the price to appear higher quality--No need Sweetgreen, you can charge $5 and I would believe you! I promise! read more

It's just freaking salad. I don't get it. Then, why is it so freaking good. Even that warm multigrain bread they give you on the side... AGHHHH - SWEET GREEN JUST TAKE ALL MY MONEY NOW. One million earth bowls to go please. I would also get the district cobb more often, but the additional $3 bucks makes me pause. Sometimes I get their seasonal salads... And some froyo... if you're into that kinda thing. read more

Walked in for froyo. 1) NO mochi. 2) The fruit looked old and gross.. 3) The place was a bit unkempt... But it is Sweetgreen...so maybe I should have ordered a salad? read more

I love this place!! SO MUCH. here is why: 1. SO FRESH. All of the ingredients are super fresh and delicious. I had a salad that had chicken, avocado, cucumbers, peppers, tortilla chips, and lime and honestly it was pretty dang good. I had the lime dressing that honestly I wasn't a huge fan of, but they gave me some caesar on the side and I liked that better. 2. GREAT SIZE. I mean if you are spending 10$ you want it to actually fill you up. AND IT DID. I was really satisfied and pleased with the portion. Also... the bread... so good. It almost tasted a little cinnamony and it was just so delicious. 3. GOOD SERVICE. They were super friendly and willing to change stuff to make it exactly what I wanted, and they were happy about it. I felt super welcome and I liked it. 4. NICE PLACE. Like it was super clean and nice. Places to plug in a charger (useful when you use your phone all day to tour the city, and need to charge your phone!) 5. THE YOGURT. So for dessert I was thinking about getting the frozen yogurt... well they were first of all nice enough to let me try it first. And it was SO GOOD. It was a "tart" but legit the best tart I have ever had. BUT THEN... the worker was so nice and gave me a whole cup free! With 3 toppings! It was so good and made my whole day. I wish I lived in DC so I could eat here all the time. It really is so good. read more

Ordered a Guacamole Salad through Uber Eats. No AVOCADO in the salad. Was not informed the avocado was unavailable. I was charged full price for the salad that was missing the essential ingredient. TOTAL RIPOFF. read more

The sweetgreen chain of salad making places is incredible. There are so many choices and so many ways that the salad can be put together but there is never a shortage of new things to try. The personal service far outweighs the length of the line and the wait. We were impressed with every salad we had, tried to say let's split one, but always ended up with two and usually finished it. Now you can call ahead once you learn the gig and your salad just might be waiting for you when you arrive. It's a good way to go and these salads are excellent excellent excellent. This is a place to try, I'll be going back for sure read more

So I went in with a friend and we both ordered the exact same salad. My friend's salad turned out to be twice the size of mine. TWICE. When I mentioned this, instead of just adding more to my salad which they could have easily done, they suggested we share! We didn't share our salads but I'm sharing my experience with this location on Yelp! read more

Sweet Green is the best!!! If you follow my reviews- U know that I prefer a nice fresh salad before I order anything else- and Sweet Green takes gets the highest rating possible. The fresh ingredients and the plethora of options to put in your salad are unmatched! If you have not tried Sweet Green you must try it TODAY! I am so sure about this place I will use all of my $164 Sweet Green Loyalty Card points on you and get you your first salad! Hit me up... Its on me! That's how certain I am sure you will fall for this place as I did! I go at least once a week. LO read more

I came here with some friends and ordered the salad with quinoa and salad and cranberries. It had other items such as chicken and feta. It was a nice combination although I could have used less dressing. The salad was just the slightest bit soggy because of that. The place was busy for a weekday lunch but the line moved relatively quickly which gave me enough time to make my decision. read more

Awesome salad restaurant. They have a big salad menu and will mix anything for you. Everything is healthy and delicious! Try the Rad Thai and Harvest Bowls, they were amazing. Also try the cucumber ginger limeade. read more

Fresh ingredients. Great choices - vegan or not. Cold or hot. Good value. If there was one near my work this would be my lunch spot.

I have been recommending this place to everyone! Hands down the best salad place I've been to. They had an amazing selection of ingredients and change up the salads they offer seasonally. I went here in late summer and had an amazing peach burrata salad. The salads are also very filling, which is awesome. They have bowls with grains in them, like quinoa, and my husband, who is never full after eating salads, couldn't even finish his whole salad. And to top it off this place is very eco-friendly and uses super fresh ingredients from local vendors. They even list all of their vendors on a board inside. I can't wait to go back! read more

Loved this spot. I had seen 'sweetgreen' before but have never went in. After going to the Library of Congress my friend and I decided to stop in for a quick lunch. I was so impressed. Staff was friendly and quick. I ordered the Strawberry Fields and decided to suck with everything that it mentioned on the board. The team worked effortlessly together to get us our lunches in less than a few minutes. Healthy, fast, and delicious!! read more

I'll have to admit, I was pretty skeptical about going to Sweetgreen. After taking some time to try out their organic frozen yogurt, most of my doubts were removed. A friend and I made the move to come to Sweetgreen before making the long drive back to Baltimore. My friend had previously been here before and said that he enjoyed the salad made here. After looking at the prices for the salads, I would have sure hoped that he enjoyed himself. Since we both already ate dinner before coming here, desert was all that was left. A small cup of organic yogurt costs $4, a large cup costs $6. My friend and I both got a small cup. You get three toppings included with your cup, so I decided to load my yogurt with apple butter, chocolate chips, and walnuts. My friend loaded his with cranberries, strawberries, and walnuts. To sum everything up: the organic yogurt was good, very good at that. I do understand due to the organic nature why prices here are a little more expensive that other places. I'm just glad I didn't feel like I wasted money on a subpar frozen treat. I did not have any problems with the employees, which I know contrasts with some of the experiences previous Yelpers have had. Maybe because I went on a Sunday evening? Nonetheless, Sweetgreen was a sweet experience. read more

Sweetgreen definitely benefits from its location -- the SE side of Pennsylvania Avenue has been slow to transition to modern lunch venues for years now. It's finally starting to change with the different Spike "restaurants", Cosi, and of course Sweetgreen, which follows the model of being ideal for quick food, nicer than fast food, that you can charge at or under $10 for. That's all anyone wants for a lunch venue, so bravo for fitting the Chipotle model. And that's kind of the problem. The place is nice -- simple, clean, efficient. The food is good, fresh, and what you expect. But there's not a lot of life here, either. I want a little bit more excitement, both from the salad choices and the place itself. Even so, if you want something somewhat healthy and quick, Sweetgreen is a good bet. I prefer to get their salads in the wheat wrap as it feels more sandwichy, so don't forget about that option. read more

Normally, I *heart* Sweetgreen, and I've eaten at a couple of their locations. However, this one made me grumpy, since they don't have a visible list of which ingredients cost what, and I ended up paying extra for strawberries, of all things. Besides that, though, the salad was as yummy as always. I wish there was a Sweetgreen in Seattle! read more

My first time trying Sweetgreen, I usually go to chop't. Sweetgreen doesn't have as many choices as chop't but it wasn't bad. I got the bondi salad which was good, it had a good crunch to it. However, I don't think I would try this salad again. It was good but I think I will try the derby cobb next time. read more

To be honest, I was not excited when my boyfriend declared he wanted a healthy salad for dinner...on a Friday night?? Who does that? Nevertheless, I acquiesced and convinced myself it just meant I could have more dessert afterward. I was actually really happy with the choices at Sweetgreen though - I didn't have to get the total health nut salad; I could get something a little more like what I was used to. I chose to make my own salad, starting with baby spinach (NOTE: Now I know that you can get 2 bases....I didn't know that last night unfortunately.) The salad comes with 3 veggies, so I got cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. Extra veggies cost 50 cents each. For my crunch, I got sunflower seeds (which was new for me, but I really liked the extra crunch!) I also added chicken for $2.25. They don't skimp on the chicken -- there was a ton on my salad. I stayed healthy and didn't get cheese, but my boyfriend got parmesan, which they shredded right on top of his salad. I got the lime cilantro jalepeno vinaigrette because it sounded interesting, and I was really impressed that they asked if I wanted light, medium, or heavy dressing. I chose medium and also got the bread with my salad (I couldn't be THAT healthy after all). Overall, the salad was really good - the dressing was very flavorful but light. All the veggies were fresh and the chicken was cooked fine (although it was a little dry). The bread they put on top of the salad was very good as well, especially once i added margarine :) I also got the apple cider lemonade because it sounded great, but unfortunately I couldn't really taste the apple cider. The lemonade was good, but on the tart side (which I guess I should've expected given that that's how their frozen yogurt is too). My biggest issue with Sweetgreen was the cost - almost $10 for a salad (after tax) seemed to be a lot to me. Granted, the salad was huge. I saved half of it for lunch today, but I would prefer a 2nd size option because leftover salad isn't really that great. I don't think I'll go back to Sweetgreen too often, but when I feel like a good salad, I will keep it in mind. It is a nice healthy option for lunch or dinner. The restaurant itself has a nice clean design and seems to cater to young, health-conscious, eco-friendly people...who can also afford $10 salads. NOTE: I recommend going to their website if you've never been before - the menu was a little overwhelming to me at first with all the options. The website does a great job laying it out though - you can make your salad with all the toppings you desire and see the price and nutritional information right there! read more

I will be frequenting this Sweetgreen as much as I can until they no longer serve their frozen yogurt. Unfortunately, Sweetgreen is phasing out their frozen yogurts, and they are one of two locations left in DC that offers it. This was the edge that made this salad shop stand out from their competitor Chopt, and the only reason I visited Sweetgreen. I don't know what I am going to do without their frozen yogurt, it will be a sad day for Sweetgreen/Washington DC. #sweetgreenpleasedontgetridofyourtartrefreshingdeliciousfroyo read more

Always a line during lunch, but they keep folks moving through at a quick clip, and I'm also always impressed at how clean they manage to make it. If you want a seat (indoor and outdoor seating is available), its probably best to arrive outside of peak times, or be prepare to wait. Sweetgreen has a great, rotating selection of salads made with fresh, local ingredients. Of course, you can also create your own (though I find the ingredient list a little overwhelming for that). A perk here you don't often see at other, similar places is that they have a quality selection of mushrooms, fish, and other more "exotic" ingredients. I also appreciate the listing of their ingredients' sources on the wall chalkboard. read more

This is place very conveniently located a short walk from Capitol building. I tried the Mexican salad and hummus tahina salad. Both were delicious and flavorful. Veggies fresh and crunchy. There is sitting outside and inside. The place gets crowded but line moves fast. Deducting one star as it was very expensive. Around $12 for a salad which is a bit high read more

Not bad. Feeling pretty healthy, my friend and I came here after playing ultimate frisbee (and realizing that Good Stuff doesn't open on Sundays). First of all, I like how clean and simple everything is. Clean lines, minimal decoration, very bright and inviting. So, salad. I ordered the curry gold salad and it was not that bad. They ran out of just spinach, so I received other lettuce leaves in my salad as well. Included were beets (yum), almonds, and roasted chicken for some good ol' protein. I think that my server skimped out a little on the toppings--I wish more toppings were included into my salad, because her small hands when grabbing the toppings made me feel like I was just eating lettuce. They ask you for how much dressing you want on your salad--light, medium, or heavy. I asked for extra light, and I regret my decision a little: the dressing was barely there (which was a combination of salt and sweet), so it was a little too bland for me. However, I attribute that to my fault, since I was the one who asked for extra light. I do like the frozen yogurt that you can also purchase there as well--nice and tart, refreshing, and actually tastes like yogurt which I think of as having no added preservatives. My friend ordered one with fresh strawberries and blueberries, and it was something that was a nice healthy dessert. I personally didn't order one, and while I was full after my dinner, I didn't really feel satisfied. I do think it is a little expensive for just getting salad, but I'm also slowly coming to realize just how expensive DC food really is. Not one of my "oh-my-gosh-you-have-to-try-this-place" restaurants in my foodie adventure in DC. read more

Good size portions, and nice selection of tasty pre-selected mixes. They also will let you design your own salad if you so choose. Only complaint is that they did not seem to know how to put dressing on the side. I asked for my salad to go, and then when they were about to put dressing on it, I reminded them it was to go. I was then given one small dressing container, which I requested another. I am not a heavy dressing user, but for a large salad, one tablespoon of dressing is not enough. Plus, if they had put the dressing on themselves they would have drenched it! Don't be so stingy when it's to go! read more

I don't really like salad, but the variety of ingredients they have make your options really filling! I had the guacamole greens salad and I really enjoyed it! I couldn't even finish the whole thing, super yum! A little pricey, but the ingredients are super fresh and definitely organic read more

sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls - Super yum! Guacamole Greens - Salad Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Sweetgreen is a nice treat and I would eat here more if it was more affordable. I like to go before noon to beat the crowds and long lines. The season salads are usually pretty good--the one downside is when you find one that you love, it's gone the next month. My favorite go-to-salad: guacamole green with chicken, no onions, and a good squeeze of lime. I appreciate that many of the ingredients are locally sourced and the trash is all compostable (though as a Californian, this seems silly to advertise). I usually skip the fro yo because of the gritty texture, but the gazpacho is not bad. If I'm in a really good mood, a glass of fresh lemonade is a nice addition to a refreshing salad. If you use their app, you can get reward points towards free food. read more

Sweetgreen is usually where I pick when I'm around the Library of Congress and craving for something healthy. The seasonal salads are pretty good, I specially recommend the one with apple, pear and cheddar. It has a nice sweet and sour taste. I used to love their harvest bowl but recently felt like the chicken in that is too smelly. So, I would go for anything without chicken read more

Love love love! By far one of my Fav places for lunch or dinner to get a great salad. Organic and uses local ingredients when possible. They have no 0 carbon footprint. All material that comes out of here are either recyclable, or compostable. Highly recommend to all. Be sure to try the fro-yo read more

Really good bowls for a vegetarian/almost vegan like me. Nice service and accommodations. Visited restaurant in October 2018.

Had the shroomami bowl. Mushrooms were flavorful and paired nicely with the kale, wild rice, and raw beets. Filling, healthy and tasty- a great lunch option. read more

I love sweetgreen! Best fast casual restaurant in DC. The guacamole greens is delicious. I don't usually go out for lunch, but when I do, it's to sweetgreen. read more

My favorite fast casual dining place in Washington D.C. Very fast, incredibly fresh, and the most unique salads and dressings you'll find from a chain. I usually order the Kale Caesar w/ extra lime, the Hummus Tahina (very filling and zesty), the OMG Omega (great ginger dressing), or one of the seasonal bowls. Only salad I haven't tried and enjoyed is the Spicy Sabzi. The ingredients don't quite come together on that one. Their attempt at sourcing more local ingredients is also a nice touch if that's what turns you on. I think it makes a difference in taste. I.M.H.O, DO NOT ORDER PICK UP. For pickup orders, the dressing does not come mixed into the salad, a critical change since one of the strengths of these restaurants is how evenly mixed the dressing is with the rest of the chopped ingredients. Mostly a lunch place, or good for a casual dinner. Not a place to go out for an evening or take a date. Pro tip: get the bread, unless you ain't about that bread life. read more

Yes, their specialty salads are overpriced, but if you do the pick 3, its not too bad. In fact, you still have money left over for a frozen yogurt, which should be their cash cow. It's the best fro-yo I've had in DC from these sorts of chains (way better than boring TangySweet and dare I say mr. yogato? although i do like the topping choices better at mr. yogato). Salads are fresh and inventive. I really like their local options - they have a list of 4-5 ingredients they source locally that you can add to the salad, e.g. fresh yellow tomatoes (yum!). It's a totally welcomed addition to Capitol Hill, in the land of greasebomb restaurants and bars, I'm excited to have a healthy option so close to home. read more

As far as these make-your-own salad places go, this one is more than passable-fresh ingredients and reasonable, if not abundant, portions. I'd give it 3.5 stars based on my first drop-in. I had the Bondi, which seemed like a balanced and enjoyable salad. A little pricey, but I can't knock the owners for charging up to their constituency. read more

Sweet green is always a nice place to eat. The ingredients are fresh and the bowls are filling. Additionally the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. I've never had a bad experience at sweetgreen. read more

Gonna say its actually a 3.5 star place right now and not quite a 4 star, but maybe another visit will fix that. The only reason I'm withholding that half star is because I feel I was jipped. I ordered the same exact salad as the lady in front of me. The Guac salad. I saw the man behind the counter put 2 halves of avocado in hers, and was pretty sure I only saw one go into mine. At the end of the line before paying I looked and sure enough, only one half. So, I asked for the second one and was then charged $1.25 for it. Booo! But the salad was absolutely delicious. Very tasty. Got it with shrimp and it was the perfect compliment. I also love that they ask you if you want your salad dressed light, medium, or heavy. I hate it when places drench a salad in dressing. Even though it is expensive and I got jipped, I am excited to take my hubby there because he is a big salad person, and they have some really unique ones. Next time, I'll just make sure I watch them really well when making my salad. read more

My first meal from this chain of eateries. Kale Caesar was my choice. Because I requested to leave out the tomatoes, I was courteously asked if I'd like a substitute. My Kale Carsar was expertly and quickly prepared, and I enjoyed every bite! Modern decor with A/C for indoor seating, and additional seating outdoors for folks dining with Pets. I'll be back!! read more

My coworker went to pick up salads for the office today. I ordered my usual- the hummus tahina. Normally this salad is pretty filling and I only ever eat half of it. Today's salad however was tiny! The container wasn't even half full. I'm eating it now because I'm not going to walk all the way there to return it and have it remade, but this is ridiculous. For a $12 salad I expect to receive a full salad and not be skimped on LETTUCE! I'm not one to get emotional over a salad, and maybe it's just my hanger, but this is absurd. I gave two stars because it was still tasty, and I do typically have a good experience at sweetgreen, however I might not be going back for lunch after this pathetic salad. read more
