Sweetgreen - San Francisco

This neighborhood can be tough for vegans, but this restaurant always has delicious salads that hit the spot. It's a great choice for dining out with non-vegan colleagues. My favorite vegan dish is the Shroomami bowl. It's perfect for a quick lunch on the go (you can order online during the week) or a relaxing Saturday afternoon meal.

Salad was good, but pretty expensive for just being a salad with no meat or dairy.

I used to always persuade my colleagues to dine at this restaurant because it was convenient, easily accessible, and offered vegan options. This was my go-to spot when I resided and worked in San Francisco. While the salads were on the smaller and pricier side, they were made with fresh and nutritious ingredients.

Sweetgreen offers a build-your-own food experience similar to Subway, where you can create your own salad bowl by choosing ingredients as you move down the counter. They have pre-made suggestions if you're not sure what to choose, and everything is displayed in front of you so you can visually select your toppings. With the ability to customize every dish, there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available. Sweetgreen also has a convenient app that allows you to order and pay for your food in advance, making it easy to pick up your meal in store. The app is also a fun way to experiment with different salad combinations before you visit the restaurant.

I always get one of their seasonal specials, this time was summer teriyaki salad. Locally sourced ingredients, but sometimes they run out of things like blackened chicken so the only option is regular roasted chicken which is pretty bland, no flavor.Overall it seems healthy and you get large portion of greens and vegetables and delicious salad dressings. You can substitutefor different ingredients if you don't want to pay extra for a small scoop.
