“First off the staff was smiling, attentive and not on their phones. The latte was perfection frothed, the espresso was delicious as was the little biscotti that was served with it. Facility was clean, moderately busy, I was able to get a table right away. I watched the staff and they were all so engaged in their work and the guests. Food was piping hot, perfectly seasoned. Eggs were poached perfect, sauce was not only not broken but seasoned slightly with Paprika for color. The pastry counter was spotless and their offered look fresh and inviting. Kudos to this place all around!! Its close to the freeway and parking is easy peasy.“

“One of the best Southern restaurants in Contra Costa County! The greens were delicious, and the fried chicken had incredible flavor and the perfect crunch. We loved our date night here and will definitely be back. A message to the chef: While we were there, we overheard three women mention that the food was a little too spicy. Please don't change a thing! The bold flavors are what make this menu special, especially in an area where food is often toned down. Keep doing what you're doing!“

“There was an issue with my order. I ordered a Custom Caramelized Garlic Steak that was supposed to include steak, but the steak was missing from my order when I received it. I paid for the steak as an added ingredient, so I’m disappointed that it was left out.

Could you please provide a refund or appropriate compensation for the missing steak? I’d appreciate your help in resolving this.

Thank you.

Update: Thank you so much for taking care of this and issuing the refund. I really appreciate your quick response and help in resolving the issue. I’ve always enjoyed Sweetgreen, and I appreciate you making things right!“
