So, I used to do food delivery to make extra money and I would often get delivery orders from sweetgreen. I have no idea about the restaurant other than everything seemingly came in a bowl. The tips were always great from this place and I have to think it had something to do with how expensive it was.
It is, let me correct.
Recently, I decided to finally see what the hype was all about. I went online to check out the menu and was pleasantly surprised by all of the offerings. There were a ton of options and I’m not going to lie, I was a bit overwhelmed.
But when in Hipster Land (Southern California, L.A. to be even more specific), you do like how those hipsters do.
I went to the restaurant in person and ordered the Harvest Chicken bowl. The restaurant didn’t offer anything than water and water with a hint of a hint of a hint of taste of fruit (Spindrift and LaCroix, for those who didn’t get the shade). I opted to just have iced tea waiting for me at home.
I was rather impressed with how the bowl looked!
And without the bread:
And all mixed up!
So, how did it taste?
It tasted hella good, y’all!
It was crispy, fresh, and the balsamic vinaigrette dressing was perfection! I think they might have overdid it with the goat cheese so the next time I will ask them to go easy on it.
Now, where I live, it’s a bit pricey: the bowl plus tax came out to a little under $20. Yeah. This is a splurge you’ll have once in a while and definitely not something you’ll have everyday. But still, it was worth the money and I’m really glad I got it! I highly recommend sweetgreen!
