Overall, Mandy's is described as a reliable favorite for fresh, flavorful salads with ample customization, big portions, and a bright cozy vibe that makes healthy meals feel inviting; the menu offers vegan, vegetarian, and protein options with the option to build your own bowl and have dressing on the side, and the taste and quality of ingredients receive frequent praise, with standouts like the 'Wild Sage Bowl' and the 'Seared Tuna Salad' getting repeated thumbs up along with popular smoothies. The atmosphere is often noted as chic, Instagrammable, and welcoming, with attentive service and helpful staff who accommodate allergies and substitutions. On the flip side, some reviews point to higher prices, occasional slow service or long waits, and inconsistencies such as missing ingredients at pickup or changes in packaging that impact the experience; a few also call for clearer online ordering communication and better reflection of prep times. Despite these concerns, the overall impression is that Mandy's delivers delicious salads, fresh ingredients, and a sturdy, consistent core that draws locals and visitors looking for healthy, quick meals, even as some visits vary in value and execution.
I really love salads so I was drawn to this'gourmet salad' location that reviews had raved about.
For roughly $17, it's certainly expensive for a salad but comparable to the prices outside these days.
Highlights:
A. the dressing. I wasn't expecting much but I agree now with others that it is quite the standout! More than sufficient & complemented the salad very well.
B. The avocado - generous portion (a quarter or half) & perfectly ripe & creamy.
C. Crunchy noodles - added texture to the salad
Areas of Improvement:
A. Had added extra sweet potato. Can't tell from the photo but they weren't very generous with the addition despite paying an extra amount to this. Was also diced so small I didn't really even notice it in the salad. Would personally skip the additions again if I knew.
B. No utensils or napkins in the bag. Luckily I was able to find another place that offered me that but normally it's offered already in the sealed takeout bag.
C. Lettuce size - agree with what someone else had said. It was a rather big leaf to eat sometimes & wish it was just a bit more refined.
Nice restaurant vibe inside. Would love to try dining in next time again.
After a long day at work, I popped in for a quick bite & was offered a $5 glass of wine, which they said is available every day after 4pm. What a score! Shout out to Kelly for suggesting a wonderful wine to complement my meal. Her service was incredible, & I can't wait to pop in again soon.

Cosy & charming. Very fresh, tasty & delicious salads. I recommend the Shakti smoothie as well. & they were so kind to ask if we wanted the salad dressing mixed in or on the side. & they pre-split both our salads to make it easier to share! Can't recommend enough.
Une adresse idéal pour bien manger 🥰 J'ai composé mon propre bowl, il y a beaucoup de choix, de quoi se composer la salade parfaite ! Les ingrédients sont de qualités.

Deuxième fois que ça arrive & franchement, ça devient ridicule. J'ai toujours commandé cette soupe, elle était excellente… & maintenant, c'est juste immangeable. La première fois, tous les pois chiches étaient brûlés & pour camoufler, ils ont mis de l'eau dedans. & là, commande en ligne… exactement la même catastrophe. À ce niveau, ce n'est même plus du service client, c'est de l'irrespect pur. Sérieusement, si vous ne pouvez pas servir quelque chose de correct, annulez la commande au lieu de nous faire ça. Inadmissible.
That's it; I've had it! I'm a regular lunch customer working nearby. I always pre-order & pre-pay. This location is *systematically* a minimum of 15 minutes late of the predicted time. Today, I waited 21 minutes after announcing myself & my order. My colleague, who pre-ordered 1 minute after I did, had her order ready upon arrival. You made my colleagues & I miss 2/3 of our lunch break, again.
Your inability to manage your line has a real impact to your customers.
Your salads are delicious but if I don't have opportunity to eat it in peace, what's the point.
We visited Mandy's while on a girls trip & LOVED it! Highly recommend adding it to your itinerary. I was happy to see vegan & vegetarian options, & their little retail section is to die for. We would love to visit again!
