We ordered 2 bowls and they really skimped on the protein. There was barely any which was really disappointing. On top of that, we got such large proportions of other things. Just felt unbalanced.
For example, my girlfriend got her dish which was 80% kale even though she ordererd the bowl with many ingredients.

I love Sweetgreen! Someone at my office had ordered catering/delivery and offered me a salad. I tried the kale caesar with chicken and loved it! I went back to the Culver City location and also tried the Santa Monica (4th street location) and they were both great! I usually ask for extra dressing, since it does come with a lot of lettuce. It is very filling and definitely has enough lettuce for two salads. At the Santa Monica location, I went on my lunch and one of the employees was super helpful! She helped me retrieve my order quickly and easily, since I was slightly pressed for time. Would definitely recommend Sweetgreen!

I just had a very disturbing experience at the Santa Monica location. With the locations supervisor/manager, Brady. I ordered my meal with Uber Eats for in store pickup. I made the mistake of not noticing the item came with Cashew dressing. I am allergic to cashews.
After picking up my order. I noticed my mistake. I walked back and asked the associate if she wouldn't mind making me a new one without the dressing. She got her managers (Brady) approval. As she was making the new bowl, she was told by one of the chefs that the salmon would take 15-20 minutes. I asked if it would be an issue for me to switch out the proteins, to avoid having to wait. And if so, I'd do steak. I also offered to pay for any additional cost as this was my mistake.
Brady turns to her, while I'm standing there, and tells her no. That online orders cannot be adjusted. He does not have enough common courtesy to tell me as I'm standing there. I let the young lady know that I would wait for the salmon.
As I'm waiting another patron is ordering the exact same order as me, also without the cashew dressing. She did not take the order, not sure why, and left the restaurant. When my order was ready Brady handed me what seemed like the same order the woman rejected. Either way I took the order after inquiring if this was the same food the woman rejected. Brady told me no.
I then calmly let Brady know. I did not appreciate him not making the accommodation for me to switch the proteins to avoid having me wait so long. He again stated that online orders can't be changed. I then said that he could have made the adjustment for me, seeing as though he was the manager on duty. He could've adjusted the order at managers discretion (his discretion). He just chose not to.
Brady then tells me, "I didn't know you worked here". Very smug, very catty, and unprofessionally childish. I was taken aback and let him know to watch his mouth, that he was not speaking to a child. He then said, "what did you say!?", as if he was going to do something. I repeated myself "you are not speaking to a child, watch your mouth. Brady, "have a great day sir". In a very petty tone. In front of his associates this is how he behaves. This is the type of example he is to his team. Now they too may think it's ok to throw jabs at customers.
I am a store manager for a luxury brand. I manage a large team. Regardless of how upset I am with a client. My team or my clients will never know. I would never get out of character with a client or team member. But maybe this is Brady's character.
All in all, I made a mistake. I even offered to pay for my mistake. Brady is uncouth and has no business managing anything or anyone. I did not appreciate his demeanor, his tone, nor his choice of action/words. I do not wish to have a refund or any sort of compensation. I just wanted to give my experience and hopefully Brady can have proper training on how to deal with client issues. Without being so abrasive and rude.

First time in. Surprised by the great vegan options and deliciousness. The compostable cutlery and containers are a big plus. Everything is organic and made fresh in front of you. Super friendly staff along with a clean environment made it a delicious and relaxing experience. Grab and go kind of environment.

The Miso Glazed Salmon bowl is quite good -- everything tasted very fresh.The Hummus + Focaccia bread wasn't very good; won't get again.

Healthy food where you can combine rice or quinoa or salad with different types of chicken or beef, sauce and vegetables.It's super good.Very similar to pokebowl

Don’t come here if you are POC. They asked me if I knew the pricing after they noticed I wanted a couple of items on my salad and they had me pay before making my food. I’ve never had this experience at any other sweet greens. Came here 1/4/24 around 11am. Older white lady with blue eyes and thick black liner.

It’s actually impressive they have managed to completely undercook their white rice on my last three visit.

Mixed feelings. One day food was good, but the next time I visited — got a severe food poisoning. Clearly I got it from this cafe as it was the only food I had today. I think I was their first customer that day, and maybe around half an hour I started noticing symptoms. The end result: spent whole day puking and deficating. I think it's either food or staff didn't wash hands properly
