Greens & Grains

Still consistently great after all these years. Haven't been by as much since cooking much more at home. But I was traveling locally for work - checked the options nearby the Airbnb and then decided I should just get something healthy, simple and pop in the fridge. G&G popped in mind. And now they offer online ordering! How convenient! Just tell them your name. Yes that easy! There was a slight mishap but the owner was around and more than made up for it without my prompting. So impressive. Organic, real food and so filling! The full salad was HUGE and the green goddess dressing just as delectable as I remembered. Every bite of salad had a grain, seed, veggie varietal and a bit of feta in each bite. Their ratios are JUST enough that you get that zip of flavor and texture. I can never replicate their secret formula at home. Rotisserie continues to be one of the best - juicy and seasoned but not salty. What a gem we have on the island - prob one of a handful of food establishments here that don't give me the dreaded phlegm after I eat. If you want to experience a high quality deli - come here, there's a reason why they have flourished for so long and continue to.

Located in the Alameda Marketplace, I have ordered the kale caesar salad several times. The portion size is quite hefty so I think the half size is sufficient for most people unless you're sharing. I like that they include anchovies though that's optional if that's not your thing.

Healthy salad place - great for lunch. You can build your own custom salad or choose from their menu. I got the G&G House salad which has beets and pickled onions. They also have ready made pasta and chicken salad and rotisserie chicken. Wish the line moved faster but the salads are made to order so that means it takes longer. Enjoyed the fresh ingredients and $11.50 was a good price for the half salad which was more than enough for lunch.

Delicious salads! The portions are really large. I got a half salad and it more than filled me up. I got a half salad and added chicken and it was about $17 and honestly it was worth it! If you get a chance, you should definitely try this place.

I dont know what happened but it looks like the whole staff members of the kitchen are not the same people that did a wonderful job 10 years ago.The whole team needs to learn how to work fast, because everyone moves like slugs. Anyone ever heard of working in a fast-paced kitchen environment? It's a skill. Learn it. Or find another slug job.

I stopped by for lunch here with my boss, he's been here before and since he's been trying to eat healthy and so have I we decided to try this place for a great salad!Green and Grains is definitely a Hidden Gem in Alameda inside of Alameda Marketplace. There's a lot of different vendors inside, will you have a large selection of all kinds of foods.My boss and I both got the G&G salad which is a beet salad. When I tell you the salads are great believe me they're fresh handmade excellent portion you can't go wrong. The ambience here is pretty nice, there's people coming and going since it is a Marketplace a lot of people stop in for a lot of different things food groceries.The customer service that we got at Green and Grains was five out of five. All of the staff was more than willing to help with a smile nonetheless. They know their product really well you ask a question they have an answer.I will definitely be stopping by more often to try other salads. They sell rotisserie chicken that they do in house themselves which is very flavorful.If you're in Alameda and I'm craving something healthy definitely check this place out.Moe Approved!

Food was fine until I found rocks in it.. :(I ordered a G&G House salad, which was great. But a few bites in, my teeth started crunching against something. I figured maybe it's salt or extra hard lentils? So I spat out that mouthful and kept eating.Then halfway through, I ran into these two bits of rocks, and I was kind of mildly horrified. They're definitely grains of rock or sand, and they almost chipped my back teeth. I ended up throwing the rest away.I know that sometimes grit gets into ingredients but this is too much.

This is going to be the Saturday I catch up on reviews, and after trying Greens & Grains today it only makes sense to write what I've tried most recently. It was a day full of errands for me today and near the end of them I ended up in Alameda. It l's been one of those days where I stayed hydrated but hunger hit me like a brick in the stomach around 3pm. I wanted a salad and yelped some salad places nearby. Greens & Grains popped up with plenty of reviews about the kale Caesar salad soo I figured why not. It's about a 7 minute drive from Alameda Landing and it's located inside Alameda Marketplace.I lucked up with parking on the street right by the entrance. I ordered the kale Caesar salad, chicken salad sandwich, and macaroni and cheese. The Mac and cheese was a 1 on a scale of 1-5. Those onions ruined it for me. I'm not used to that. The kale Caesar salad was a 4 for me. I opted to add the anchovies but I'll pass next time. They're just too fishy for me, and I call myself a seafood lover. I also should have asked for them to keep the croutons out of it. The thing is, I hate croutons, but these were manageable because they softened. Croutons add too much crunch to salads in my opinion, buuut overall it was just too many in there for me. So that's my bad. I got the last chicken salad sandwich and it was pretty good. I can tell it's popular based on it being the last one, and i like the leafy greens inside of it. Overall I'd give Greens & Grains a 3.5, but I am interested in trying their vegan curry. Also, the service was pleasant.

I am no stranger to this establishment... especially prepandemic and I have a fond recollection of the bounty of goodness that is offered here. However, it has been some years since I hoisted a brown paper bag off their counter due to my work from home situation. Well last week a colleague of mines wanted to meet and we agreed on a working lunch. Since we were going to be working through lunch I decided to preorder the day before. I ordered G & G House Salad with added beats and avocado. Well, my salad was picked up with no avocado-Booooo! Other than that it was an OK salad. It was still bountiful and filling. My half salad was around $15 and I nibbled through half before I was done. I think I needed an extra side of dressing and definitely the avocado.I will come in person next time.

Top Tier Salads every time. I will say as pricey as the salads are the servings are small, and-if you ask to add just a bit more of anything you will be charged for it. If I know I will be eating a salad from Greens & Grains and I will be adding boiled eggs and or an avocado I will always have those items with me to offset adding any extra premium items that are too expensive there. The employees are nice the Owner not so much. I don't even like her making my salads. I rather wait for someone else to make it for me. Her attitude needs some adjusting sometimes maybe perhaps it is because she is flustered with work but a quick glimpse of a smile never hurts especially to returning customers that you see often. I enjoy the whole market the vibe is a bit Natural Grocery vibe.
