“My kids and I love Playa!!! We always get the Nutella bowl- sometimes with extra granola. Yum! It’s just a tad pricey!

Vegetarian options: Fruits a plenty

Parking: Big parking lot in back. Some spots in front on street.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love it! Lots of options.“

“I love Greens on the Go. Fresh food, friendly staff who you can tell put TLC into their dishes and lovely space to eat inside or on their back porch. Give this awesome small business some love if you're in the area - you won't be disappointed!“

“One thing I’ve realized is that the ratings on a lot of Sweetgreen locations are unfairly low. There are always people complaining about not getting enough meat, not getting their orders on time, etc. In reality they just don’t happen that often. This location is perfectly fine. Just got a harvest bowl and it’s as delicious as every other location.“

“Barvida has quickly become my go-to spot for smoothies. Everything tastes super fresh and not overly sweet, which I love. You can tell they use real, quality ingredients. The staff is always welcoming and the service is quick, even when it’s busy. I usually stop in after work or on weekends, and it always hits the spot. Definitely recommend if you want something healthy that also tastes amazing.“

“Been coming here for 40 years. Delicious lunches and dinners that are ample. Great variety of items on menu feature salads with protein additions, soups, yummy desserts; dinner entrees well worth the prices. Consistently great quality and service. Atmosphere is intimate, with tightly arranged tables, with a few outside on sidewalk. Only downside (which has no room for improvement) is the cramped entryway and bathroom that is holdover from an era when ADA accessibility was not a consideration. The restaurant is historic in that regard, with painted tin ceilings; was one of the first “healthier food” restaurants. It keeps that standing even in Norwalk’s hot restaurant scene. Love The Lime.“

“My family and I were visiting family in Norwalk and were referred to Greens on the Go in New Canaan. We had an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was delicious. I personally enjoyed the Spring Bowl with Tofu, which was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I also tried the Pitaya Island and it was an absolute must-try – such a delightful treat! The owner, Alyssa, is very friendly and was an absolute pleasure to meet. Her warm hospitality made our visit even more special. If you're in the area, Greens on the Go is definitely worth a visit. We will be back for sure!“

“Great little sandwich counter. Was looking for a quick sandwich stopped and got an amazing Chicken Salad with Tomato, Lettuce, Cheese and Olives. All fresh. The chicken salad had some amazing flavor. Perfect amount of mayonnaise. Staff was very friendly and had a homestyle kitchen vibe.“

“So delicious and healthy.“
