SweetGreen dubs itself as “the answer to a new era of fast-casual dining.” Located in University City at 3925 Walnut St. SweetGreen Philadelphia is an ideal spot for Penn and Drexel students, or anyone in the neighborhood for that matter!
The company was founded by three Georgetown college students who were looking to feed themselves better. Unhappy with the limited options available to them they decided to open up a casual café serving local fare. One of the best parts? Their Farm to Table initiative rotates fresh selections with each month, from summer gazpachos to hearty soups to warm your soul int he winter.
Since 2007, they’ve grown to 11 stores with locations in DC, PA, VA and MD.
SweetGreen has a sustainable mission and actively works to live that objective. Their green initiatives include:
Check out their vegan ‘chic p’ salad (love !) and their make your own yogurts. The menu is available here. With items starting around $7, it’s super affordable compared to mass-produced ‘trendy’ fast foods (we’re looking at you, Panera!) All in all, very sweet.
I’m also digging their blog where they pontificate about music, art and food.
