Food was really good, fresh ingredients and very visually appealing. I ordered 2 tacos & avocado toast and matcha latte to drink. But the patio seating was the cherry on top, so peaceful and serene. Definitely a hidden secret. Service was also good, you order at the counter and they bring it to your table.
Was driving through the area and wanted some yummy and healthy food. I searched Yelp for a healthy option and right off the freeway as Greenleaf! I got so lucky. I pre-ordered on their website so the food was ready when I arrived. It only took 15 minutes for my two taco orders and my nacho orders to be ready. It is in a very cute shopping center. It looks like it's high-end furniture that's being sold there. Easy parking! Tons of seating inside and if you wanna enjoy outside, there's tons of seating as well. I actually didn't sit at the restaurant, but I sat in the garden area where there's a ton of open seats for anyone to sit at. I enjoyed the waterfall, people watching, and most importantly, the sun! I made sure to order the chicken Tinga for both my taco and nachos because that's what the yelp review says we're really good. The nachos were really yummy and crispy. They left the cover open a little bit so we wouldn't get too saggy which was a really good call.
I am kind of a food snob, and mainly stick to asian foods or culturally ethnic foods. But it was my manager's birthday so we ordered here for lunch. I was so presently impressed. The Angus burger was literally the best burger I have had in my lifetime!!! My coworker and I split the cali salad bowl as our side as she got the Angus burger too. Idk how they made the meat so perfect... how the bread was not soggy even after eating it after 30 minutes of it being made... but the patty was so tender. And delicious. Usually, when burger patties are thick, they don't taste great but this one... omg. Idk. Just try it. I think it's a great burger choice If you want a delicious perfect burger without feeling sluggish after. Even right down to the bread, it was awesome. That west coast cali salad bowl was great too... Who would ever think that turkey would make a salad so good! The vegan ranch is the dressing we went with. Definitely coming again. Cute shopping area too!
Nice spot with great patio seating near large fountain! Small menu of shareables, entrees and some alcoholic drinks. Unfortunately they were out of Aperol and mimosas. some vegetarian options as weep and overall food was good. FYI, you order at counter and food is brought to you inside or out. Small selection of wine and beer available.
We absolutely love Greenleaf and my daughter. Kate, worked at the location in Costa Mesa for many years but unfortunately that spot has closed. They still have another one in Costa Mesa, but in kind of a furniture/mall which I probably would not go to unless I was over there shopping. There is a new one in the Santa Ana John Wayne airport and it's fabulous. Brand new, Great staff and the same great food. So we will definitely be hitting Greenleaf when we travel.
For a fresh salad, a great choice. Nice amount of ingredients- not just a bunch of lettuce and dressing. Service was also good:)
Friendly service. Phenomenal food with the angus burger being a favorite. Easy parking. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Ambiance is relaxed. Will definitely come back!
Wanted to try some of their vegan offerings and stumbled on their antioxidant spring salad. OMG a MUST! The monarch protein wrap was also very good. Vibe was very friendly.
Part of the SOCO shopping center. Indoor and outdoor seating. Dog and kid friendly. Casual atmosphere. Order at the register, they give you a number, and bring your order to you. Fast and friendly service. As of July 2023, the following cost around $45 with tax and small tip: cabo kale salad with chicken, 305 bowl (carnitas, avocado, rice, beans, pineapple, other veggies, salsa, corn tortillas), and side of fries. I'd argue a bit on the pricey side for a non-sitdown restaurant, but such is life these days. Everything was great, and good-sized portions! More than enough for two people, even though we were also sharing with a hungry baby.
