Sweet Leaf — Restaurant in Virginia

Sweetleaf can be a hit/miss depending on the salad that you get and the server. The salads and sandwiches are pricey and the service is lukewarm. Don't recommend online orders as customizations will be omitted while you'll be happily charged for them.

While Sweet Greens and Chop't boast more toppings, the turmeric rice at Sweetleaf is bursting with flavor! The fresh pesto dressing is divine.

The Falafel Tzatziki always hits the spot with pickled onions, fresh crispy pita chips, house-made falafel, cucumber, cabbage, kale, and topped with Tzatziki dressing.

The Caprese sandwich is a disappointment - too salty with an overload of black pepper. When I ordered UberEats and paid extra to add avocado and roasted red peppers, those toppings were omitted.

The smoothies are skimpy on the fruit and only use 2% milk. After a few sips, my hubby threw out the smoothie. The cookies & brownies look appetizing, but are sometimes stale. Save your appetite for the salad!

I've become increasingly disappointed with the lukewarm inattentive service and declining quality of food. Might come back if I'm really craving a salad and want to relax...

I was searching for a healthy BREAKFAST place at 10am on a weekday. In McLean, it's almost hopeless...at least that's what I thought until I found Sweet Leaf!! I'm a healthy vegan and ordered the Tofu Tango. What a great breakfast that was. They start with kale and spinach and add roasted sweet potato, quinoa, apples, cucumber, pumpkin seeds. I was the happiest person on earth. I would drive from Fairfax for that enjoyable and delightful breakfast. It was so nutritious and refreshing and really started my day off right. If you want to start off your day on a healthy note, this is where you want to go, not the lousy SAD (Standard American Diet) diner down the street, where I almost ended up! The one thing I didn't like though (no fault of the restaurant), was that there was a couple there blasting a video of people screaming at 10am. It was so disturbing that I had to leave the area I was seated at and asked them to stop. Other customers also left the store. Don't know why two inconsiderate people should chase people away from their dining experience. Why didn't the staff say...

One of those healthier options not as well known as the likes of Sweet Green or even Chopt. Lots of fresh unique salad options here but their key differentiators are their healthy sandwich and smoothie options as well. Typically visit one of the three on a weekly basis but can honestly say enjoy the menu variety most here. They take their time to make anything ordered so expect to be here a bit longer than their competitors mentioned. Pricing is about the same as competition but the diverse menu allows you to grab a few smoothies/yogurt (which they too are famous for with a few fruit toppings), and split a sandwich and salad for a more complete more well rounded meal. Have been coming here for years and was quite saddened when they removed my favorite menu item of smoked salmon with chives sandwich years back as was something always looked forward to ordering. Docked star only because during recent visit forgot to include salad dressing in to go bag on side as had requested as part of order and did not realize until had arrived back at place dampening salad and...
