Reviews for Sweet Leaf Cafe in Arlington, VA
July 2022 - Since I started working in the area almost 2 years ago, this used to be my favorite place for breakfast sandwiches.... However the quality of their sandwiches have gone down. I am quite disappointed especially today when I ordered ahead, at least30 minutes, and my order still wasn?t ready and wasn?t prepared correctly. Update - 9 Nov 2022 I?ve updated my review. Theowner was very kind to reach out to apologize. I don?t think that particular worker is there anymore. My Malibu melt wasgoooood as it was two years ago. Pls take a chance and try them out - healthy and delicious! Read more
Since we enter to the place, we could smell how delicious was this food. We just landed from Miami and we wanted something fresh... and light. We ate breakfast. I can tell all the ingredients were so fresh and natural. The service was so nice too, they spokeSpanish (we loved that) and they were kind and sweet. I liked the little table with the lemon water and the distribution of thespace. It was comfortable for us. We definitely are going to come back in our next visit. Thank you guys! Read more
We got the Caesar salad with chicken and a make your own bowl with rice, cucumber, corn, chicken, and the garlic feta sauce.... After a long week of greasy spoons this was a welcome healthy meal. Everything tasted fantastic and I loved the healthy add-insand how fresh the ingredients were. We were able to parallel park in the spots across the street from the restaurant (they?renon-metered on Sundays!). Read more
This location loves to tell your their smoothie machine is broken whenever they?re too lazy to make you one, which has... apparently been the last 4 times I?ve gone in there. The 4th time I even called ahead, spoke to someone who was working therewho confirmed with me it was. I show up, there are 4 people sitting outside with smoothies and she tells me it?s broken. Soannoying Read more
The staff are friendly and courteous. The food was fresh and delicious. However this restaurant's AC was broken, it was cooler... outside than in the store. Apparently the windows cannot be opened so it was uncomfortable in the inside seating area. I feelfor the staff working/serving and hope they get fixed quickly. I just took my order to go. Read more
Tastiest & freshest sandwiches which come with a pickle. Healthy ingredients. Super yummy. I've also had their seasonal... strawberry mint smoothie. Very refreshing if you like mint. Highly recommend. Read more
Oh my God. I read the reviews, which is why I dropped by. I have been having the WORST week in ages, and I was in pain, without... transportation, in the cold and rain, carrying a heavy bag. I haven't slept in 28 hours. ???? I just wanted something withveggies and protein, with maybe something fruity to drink. Sweet Leaf was one block away, and the reviews had been fantastic soI had a very faint hope they could cheer me up. I walked in and ordered the Chimichurri bowl. The woman apologized and said theyonly had a few pieces of meat left. She said they were cooking more, but I could add in some other protein instead. I said Iwould wait. I asked for her drink recommendation and she said the strawberry kale and avocado Smoothie. I despise kale, but gotit anyway. The bill cost an hour of my salary, which nearly made me cry, but the food looked super fresh and smelledincredible. It was the best, healthiest thing I've eaten in a week. It was amazing. Bliss in a bowl. I cannot believe I ate thewhole thing. A quarter of my way through it, she brought out freshly seared steak medallions, with two super rare pieces. Inearly cried. The Smoothie looked hideous and tasted like a smooth milky strawberry. Not too sweet, not at all veggie tasting.Amazing. After over 72 hours of disappointment and stress and pain, this was exactly what I needed. I can't wait to wind downand finally get some shut eye! Read more
Hands down some of the best salads we've ever had! Also good gluten free markers. Would highly recommend!
