| - This place is awesome!!
I had read some reviews online about Chopped Leaf before I finally decided to check it out for myself. I'm on the Wild Rose Detox right now, so I wasn't sure if I would be able to eat anything, but I gave it a chance. The idea here is you can create your own salads, wraps, or rice bowls with the numerous options they offer. Or, you can simply order one of their creations and customize it to your liking.
I saw that they were offering a Vegetarian Chili that day, but I wanted to double check what was in it (I cant have mushrooms, among other things) and I was pleasantly surprised to find they have a small flip book at the register with all the menu options and ingredients inside! This was super handy in helping us pick out a salad dressing we could have as well, as vinegar is a no-no. We each ordered a chili, and a salad with chicken, tomatoes, nuts, and apples with the Chipotle Lime dressing. I was also hoping to have some of their Chopped Water (which was Grapefruit, Pineapple, and Melon infused that day) but unfortunately I wasn't allowed any of those fruits. Looked delicious though, and the refills are free!
Our meal was a little pricey, but worth it. Very generous portions and delicious, fresh food. We were able to chat with the owner briefly and you could tell she was very passionate about what she does. She wasn't annoyed with all of my questions and substitution requests. The atmosphere is casual, but classy - no fast food ambiance here. I also really love the dishes they use!
I will definitely return to Chopped Leaf as it's close to my house and a lovely alternative to most quick service restaurants. I love the healthy options and the chili really hit the spot. The only negative was parking in that area can be tricky. Otherwise, I'm definitely a fan!!
