Local Greens - Solana Beach

Situated in a busy street but easily accessible with parking is a cute little healthy spot to grab some breakfast or lunch. When entering no greeting and most of the workers (there were about 5, done changing shifts) are teens so we waited about 7 min to get help. We were the only ones in line. However, once someone else helped us, they were really friendly. The açaí bowl with blue collagen and their granola with the many choices of drizzle & fruit were a nice surprise. Most açaí bowls are limited with choices of toppings. This is one of the best smoothie bowls we have had. I would definitely return for because the food was delicious.

If I wasn't a local and regular here I would leave them one or two stars.This place has gotten significantly worse over about the last year.This is not a criticism of the friendly young woman who worked behind the counter tonight. None of this is her fault.The quality of the ingredients in the Thai salad with peanut sauce was so bad it was almost insulting. The soba noodles were hard and flavorless and tasted like they have cooked early this morning, or even over the weekend. The chicken made me concerned after the first few bites that there was something wrong with it and that I am not going to be feeling well. Again, it tasted like it had been cooked many hours ago. The turmeric lemonade was disgusting and I had to spit out the first sip. I am writing this because I hope the owners are reading this. You have a great business here, or at least you used to before something changed. Please recognize that you're not tricking your customers into eating subpar food without knowing it. Not only do they know that the quality of ingredients has changye but they also know how many other, and currently better, options there are just within this ZIP code. I regretted not walking across the street to the Thai restaurant tonight.

Healthy. Customizable. Fresh Ingredients. - what more could you want?!I had an amazing Cobb Salad with a dijon vinagrette that was out of this world. The portions were just right where I was full for hours without being miserable. I was impressed with the large lettuce/greenery wall used to build our salads as well as the stovetop of homemade hot food like the juicy chicken breast that was served on my salad. The menu was so big that it took me a long time to decide what I wanted to eat, so I know that I'll need to go back a few times to sample all of the deliciousness that they have to offer!Don't forget to try their unique drinks like teas, kombuchas, and lemonades!

The service was fine but the food was lacking. We ordered noodles and a sandwich. The sandwich was 15$ and it looked like a sandwich made by a 10 year old. One piece of turkey, small amount of lettuce, very thin and measly. Tasteless. I didn't even eat the other 1/2.I won't be going there ever again.

Fantastic high quality organic food!!!! Come on down by the beach and indulge in some scrumptious nutritional omnomz! Great customer service and very tasty bowls and greens! Boost your energy and health!! Lovely owners! :) highly recommend!

I had an hour before my train back home so I decided to stop in for a healthy dinner. I loved how clean and open this place was and it had all fresh ingredients behind the glass. I was so thrilled to have stumbled upon this place!I wanted to do the Thai bowl, it sounded amazing but I wasn't in the mood for a cold dish, so I decided to go with the Baja bro bowl. I wasn't sure what the concept was preparing the food. They have a huge bowl and mixed together all the ingredients! There was fresh white chicken chunks, basmati rice, cilantro, black beans, fresh salsa, jalapenos, and a lime squeeze and dressing mixed all together. I was happily satisfied that it lived up to my expectations! Even more so! The flavor was great, the portion size was really good, everything was so fresh, and the gal behind the counter was so friendly and nice! They were offering free soup, but that would have been messy on the train so I just got my chicken and rice bowl and left. It is amazing! I will have to see if there is one in Long Beach. But I always come down to San Diego by train and since it's right across the train station I know where I'm going to be stopping in for lunches and dinners when I come into town!

The menu is so diverse, with a ton of flavors and ingredients. There are so many options and it was a bit overwhelming. I decided to get the banzai basil chick bowl which included some almonds, chicken, etc. It was very light and I felt like the portion was perfect. The workers very sweet and we got our bowls quickly. I talked to other customers and they seemed to be regulars here. The store was super clean and all the ingredients were fresh. I would definitely come back.

Quick and friendly service. Lots of options and customizable with reasonable price and large portion size. Wish I lived close to one - it'd be my go to lunch spot for sure.

This was our first visit to Local Greens. Everything about the place looked right. We were happy to find a place with a menu like theirs. We eat strictly vegan, so it's difficult to find a restaurant that can offer so many choices. My wife ordered a build your own salad, and I ordered four side dishes. We were in town for the day and ordered to go for a later meal at home.My side dishes were Basmati and Wild Rice (hard and mostly uncooked), Sweet potato (I can't imagine how they made this so tough and taste so bad), Lentils (they were flavorless, but pretty good after I cooked them further and added jalapeño), and Cauliflower(very tasty). My wife couldn't eat her salad, as rice was a major ingredient which was mixed in. As already mentioned, it was hard and mostly uncooked. All but the lentils and cauliflower were tossed into the trash. Had we not traveled 50 miles before we attempted to eat this food, I would have returned for a refund. The concept is great, but the execution was poor.You only get one first impression, and they failed with us. Beside the person behind us, we were the only customers. I should have taken that into consideration, due to the excellent location and a large amount of foot traffic in the area. I have to assume that the food is never any better than this.

Local Greens is a fantastic find for anyone seeking delicious healthy food. The menu is diverse and inventive, featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. I loved the cobb and endless summer salad.Service was outstanding--warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about the dishes. Local Greens offers great food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I can't wait to return!
