Was not impressed with my recent visit to this Verde location. Not sure if it was a temporary issue but as soon as we walked in the space smelled similar to a porta john/potty and rotten fish. We noticed the fresh teas were extremely frothy so we were also not interested in that. The staff were less than happy to see new customers and were on the phone with someone via AirPods. After reviewing the salad and toppings, we ended up leaving to eat elsewhere as we, and other customers, were visibly unhappy with the aroma. I give an overall 3 star as I frequented this location often for years when I worked in the area and it was always a pleasant experience; unfortunately, it wasn’t this go around.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I ordered buffalo cauliflower and there’s like two sprouts, if any. The falafel is rock hard. I ordered roasted sweet potatoes and I got three cubes, THREE. Also note how many pickled onions they gave me. This was $13 and I was willing to pay because this place is marketed as fresh, whole food. However, I could have gotten more bang for my buck at Chipotle. I’ve tried their other locations and the portions are always reasonable. Never coming back here.

If you are looking for a good salad, go somewhere else because these salads are GREAT! I cannot believe i have lived here for so long and never ate in here. Absolutely delicious. And after taking the first bite of my Carolina Cobb salad with ranch dressing substituted and I added sweet potatoes, I was literally craving lunch for tomorrow so I could go back and get the same thing! The ladies working were so kind, had beautiful smiles, and were just so nice!!! Great customer service, told me about different specials that happen throughout there restaurants and I cannot wait to go back there and become a regular. It was so clean and the colors were so fun to walk in and see.
