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 stopped by this Mandy's several times while on vacation for their smoothies. They are very good (my favorite being the coco loco & the berry acai) & price is reasonable considering the portion size & quality. While I never ate in, the cafe was adorable. The staff were also so friendly & made my visits pleasant. As a tourist from the US, I greatly appreciated the English menu options.

Visited for a weekday lunch in December. The salad was tasty enough but overall a disappointing experience, especially for somewhere with such a hyped up reputation. Service speed was glacial & it was at least half an hour before any of the food arrived. The taste was good but the balance was off as there was not enough dressing for the whole bowl. Several of the leafier salads seemed bulked out with leaves so that they were huge & couldn't be finished in a sitting but contained little of the more premium ingredients. Good concept but did not live up to expectations on this visit.
Nice atmosphere, good food, TERRIBLE service. The person working did not even look up from behind the counter to acknowledge us, then proceeded to give us attitude while we ordered. Made us feel uncomfortable the entire time we were there.
I'm sorry but the quality of these salads have gone way down in the past year. Portion size, taste, & freshness all lacking. Sad. Despite I always love the ambiance I'm not gonna keep coming back.

J'ai récemment visité Mandy's pour la première fois, & je dois dire que c'était une expérience mémorable. Le cadre est spacieux & bien décoré, avec des poutres apparentes au plafond qui ajoutent une touche rustique. Je me suis laissé tenter par un bol fait sur mesure. Le concept est simple : vous choisissez vos ingrédients préférés parmi une variété de légumes frais, de protéines & de garnitures. J'ai opté pour une base de quinoa, des épinards frais, des pois chiches, des avocats crémeux & une vinaigrette maison. Chaque bouchée était un délice équilibré de saveurs & de textures. Ce qui m'a vraiment impressionné, c'est la fraîcheur des ingrédients. Les légumes croquants & les herbes aromatiques semblaient tout droit sortis du jardin. & le bol était généreusement garni, ce qui m'a laissé rassasié & satisfait. Le service était rapide & amical, bien que je doive admettre que j'ai été un peu déconcerté au début. Vous commandez au bar, ce qui donne une ambiance décontractée & conviviale. Pas de chichis ici, juste de la bonne nourriture & une atmosphère détendue. Mandy's est l'endroit idéal pour une pause déjeuner saine & délicieuse. Si vous êtes dans le coin, ne manquez pas l'occasion de créer votre propre bol personnalisé. Vous ne serez pas déçu ! P.s. commander en ligne 35 minutes à l'avance est une bonne idée ...
We went yesterday at Mandy's. Service are very poor, maybe not enough stuff.... This table next to us girls clean after 1 hour🙂↔️ Also I found a hair in my salad, but stuff are apologized & bring another one.No really excuse. Guys, woke up!
Who knew that salad could be *this* good! I had "The Fave" & I understand why it's called that. The honey mustard dressing was perfectly balanced. Despite being VERY busy with the lunch crowd, the service was good. & I *love* the fake cherry tree in the middle of the dining room.
