What a delightful surprise! Totally healthy absolutely delicious. We need this place in every street corner! Had a fantastic soup and salad combo both wonderfully and freshly done.
While waiting for my car to be serviced at Sierra, I took a walk and saw Something Healthy Cafe. The food was delicious, fresh and well made. I also enjoyed the choices for protein on my sandwich since I am vegetarian. I ate half and took the other half home for dinner. The blueberry lemonade was tasty and refreshing. I’ll definitely go there again and recommend it.
Simple sandwhich and beverages. Had a tri tip sandwhich nicely toasted with peach ginger tea. Contactless payment. Creative interior great for business lunches. Free Customer Parking and outside seating available
First time here loved the food staff very nice, clean nice decor. Definitely going back.
The food is good, not a big fan of the drinks Ive had thus far.
First thing I noticed was the vibe. Its definitely a relaxing place to enjoy some food or study (free WiFi). The food here is so fresh with a variety of choices for all! I really enjoyed all their teas! The cherry raspberry and blueberry lemonade teas go well together. But my favorite item was the coconut curry soup. The staff was very friendly and even offered samples of their soups of the day. The only reason I knocked off a star is because my sandwich was swapped with my friends sandwich. I ended up eating a bite and realized it was chicken. I havent had chicken in over 10yrs. Fortunately, I let it go and enjoyed my actual meal. I definitely recommend this place for a good healthy meal (they also make smoothies).
Great and healthy food. Richie Rich and his team are exceptional. Love that place
Im stoked I found this place. Foods delicious, and in very generous portions. The owner is super friendly and takes care of everything, from running the register to cleaning the place.Their Curry soup is delicious! And everything else can be made into a salad, a wrap or a panini. Everything we ordered was spot on.The place also has great decor and is as clean as you can find them, literally sparkling. Theres free parking on the back and free WiFi.When it comes to prices, theyre average. Not cheap but not expensive. Actually their drinks are super cheap and with many options.If youre looking for a good healthy bite, I couldnt recommend this place more!
Great place food is great not nasty diet menu . Great smoothies
I go every week for lunch and love their menu. The wraps are so creative with great flavors and lots of choices. Wonderful salads. Their teas and lemonades are delicious. They have a cute seating area outside and its nice to enjoy their cold drinks on a hot day. The staff is very friendly. The owner really enjoys being there and makes sure everything is perfect. Well done!
Delicious! Love the decor, very clean, friendly staff and the teas are so refreshing! Our favorite spot in Monrovia now!
First time eating there and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the pricec are good.
Great service. Fresh. Good to get something healthy once in a while. Many tea options.
Nestled in between a vitamin shop and a 24 hr fitness gym lies a great dining joint that boasts healthy fare that tastes great to boot. Its unassuming from the outside but has a a very warm cozy interior. Clean farm housey vibe. The owner is a genuine friendly and generous fellow (thanks for the free chips) I had the Jamaican sandwich with trip tip for the protein which is now my favorite. The offer up salads and sandwiches soups with a healthy organic slant. So far I have that sandwich and the orange walnut salad and all so good healthy and flavorful as well. Highly recommend.
So good! Cute little spot to dine in. Generous portions and yummy. Small menu that you can pick and choose from and its all HEALTHY
Healthy choices, a Simple Menu and a Good Variety of Fresh Ice teas♡
Amazed by the sandwiches here. Came for something basic, and was blown away by how deliciously flavorful each bite was! Cant wait to come back.
Poor service and slow. Food was ok.
We went there for the first time and highly recommend it. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh.
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but Richie the owner was super upbeat, positive, caring and willing to take care of you.
I love this place. The best place in town for something healthy.
Fantastic customer service....so happy i stopped in....cant wait to come back...and the food was DELICIOUS
Food was fresh and people were very nice. I will definitely recommend
Wish I would have known of this place sooner! Delicious healthy affordable food! Nice variety of options and specially loved how customizable their plates are. Great staff, friendly. Clean, calm relaxing ambiance really brings everything together. Will definitely visit again.
Love this place 😋😻verything is good!!
Great discovery! The farmer sandwich with vegan chicken is fantastic. Although we did not find the vegan chicken all that flavorful, the sandwich all together is amazing.The banana smoothie is also delicious.Wrap it all up in a really cute space with great staff and you have a winner.Kudos!
I’ve been going here for years and I just noticed I haven’t left them a review; really great place. It has a really chill vibe and setting. The owner and the employees have all always been nice and friendly. Needless to say the food here is great since I said I’ve been coming here for years. Oh and kids eat free here which is something I’ve never seen at a restaurant before and I think that’s real genuine of them.
Love the location and the staff is very friendly the salad i got was very delicious and I really enjoyed the lemonade that they offer
Very clean. Nice decor. Just had a sandwich but very tasty! And the spinach salad was good. Dressing on the side is always welcome instead of it being already on and drowning as some other places do.
This place is so good
Been here many times Love this place! Clean with open kitchen-Everyone works here are always happy & friendly the owner is friendly & funny. They make great sandwiches, soup, salad and refreshing juice here, juice are made with real fruits without any preservatives and everything is made to order -all togo are packaged perfectly.
Great healthy food
Always a great place for lunch! 👍🏻The food is scrumptious! I really like that they have a selection of four freshly brewed iced teas to choose from...the ginger peach is my favorite! I love the ambiance, too. Also, the owner is very friendly and I always receive incredible customer service. 😊
I stumbled on this place looking for coffee in Monrovia. Aptly named. Their sandwiches are superb. Freshly prepared with focus on healthy ingredients. Their iced teas are top notch. Enjoyed my meal and will be back soon if im in the area again. I wish them more success.
This place always has a funny smell; I dont understand how people can it inside.
Tasty sandwiches and smoothies!
Tried this place out for the first time and it was delicious. Highly recommend their minty strawberry lemonade!
Way better than a drive thru fast food sandwich. Just what we wanted. Less than $10 too.
Caribbean sandwich w chicken is my favorite
Loved it, and the owner. My Pesto Panini with 🦃 awesome and the concept of giving back is most important. Thank you for the smiles the songs and testimony Jesus said feed my people.
Gluten free vegetarian items. Fresh food. Yummy
Best fresh and healthy food in town! Cutest little cafe and excellent service. Make sure to visit!
I never heard of this place before, I have to say I was amazed when I arrived... Nice little place off the main path... I had a chicken salad today and it was delicious. After my Diet I am going back to try their sandwiches... really nice staff.... I cant wait until this place really takes off and they open a place where they are open in the evenings too.Right now it seems to be a lunch place.Great food... nice place
Im a big fan of places that serve delicious and healthy food (you could say its a delicate balance). I got the pesto salad with tuna, and it was amazingly delicious. I couldve ordered it as a wrap, but I was pleased with what I got. The salad was more than reasonably portioned. I was very satisfied with my lunch. I had their cold brew smoothie, which had peanut butter, banana, and whey in it, and that was surprisingly good. The restaurant itself is small, but has a very comfortable atmosphere. I cant wait to come here again and bring my family.
Love this place. Good food with great veggie options! Great owner and staff, cleanest restaurant Im town and very great prices!
This place is one of my favorites! Good prices, considerable portions and the staff are regularly kind.
First visit inside the tomato basil soup and turkey pain sandwich was fantastic. Ive driven by this place hundreds of times didnt know what great food they served well worth the extra wait and a few dollars more but well worth it to enjoy the food and variious antioxidant teas recommended by nutritionist and oncologist to fight cancer. they offer with no limit on the various teas Also . ask to get a $15 discount from your present purchase and future purchases as well. No advertised discounts else for this cozy, comfortable setting. It draws a nice crowd of people and the owners adult children are especially respectful and attentive to serving you. Well done by the father/ owner. This will be a regular stop for me weekly. Ample parking in the rear enclosed property.
I was visiting Monrovia, CA and looking for a place to grab a quick bite to eat. Based on the recommendation of a worker at the Michaels Craft store I gave this place a try. What a gem! The staff was super helpful with their suggestions and my Chicken Panini was even better than I expected with juicy chicken, crisp bacon, avocado on a great bread. I definitely recommend!
This place. All their sandwiches have just the right flavor combination, theyre not too wet, not too dry, not too much bread. You can tell the owner is working really hard at this place. Definitely give it a go
Good healthy sandwiches for meateaters & vegetarians/vegans. Intereating flavors of unsweetened teas & lemonades! Inside and outside seating.
I was uniquely surprised by this absolutely delicious experience!
Beautiful set up. I liked the simplicity of the menu. The cashier guy was kinda emotionless but whatevs. I got the southwest salad and a fruit side. Loves the portion size of both salads and everything felt fresh.Kinda wished there was romaine or more crunch in it. Too many onions, and the southwest dressing just tasted like chipotle salsa. The tea selection is bomb. Lemonade however tasted like old lemons to me. Id definitely go back though and dabble in the sandwiches next time.
Consistently so delicious! Hot sandwich caribbean panini with garden salad. Thank you something healthy!
Always knew this place was there but because it was behind everything I normally eat it was in the back of my mind and forgot about it. I made a concentrated effort to eat there and it was great. The people are nice and friendly. The Cobb Salad was very large with a lot of toppings. This is the only place I have seen with unsweetened fruit teas in a variety of flavors and they are bottomless. They give you a cup with ice and have mini cups to try the different flavors before you dedicate to a flavor that might be not to your taste. I tried the jackfruit and it was ok, but the cherry and raspberry blend was awesome with a tart aftertaste. If youre looking for a great healthy place to eat with a good atmosphere give this place a try. Its behind Churchs Chicken and near 24 hr fitness but you have to enter and exit on Shamrock (Where 24 hr fitness is but one driveway lower).
This place is great. Great tasting sandwiches (faves are chicken pesto and italiano with tri tip) and for a pretty good price. $10 for panini and a good size salad. Starting to get some more traffic so it could take a while for your order if you go @ noon exactly but still worth it. The iced teas are great too.
I love this place, I’ve been going here for a long time. The food is amazing customer service is great.
What a hidden gem. Amazing food, quality ingredients, great service. Healthy x delicious.
Great place with variety of food choices for eating healthy. For the price the food is worth it. Came here after my work out & would come here again
Nice simple foods with options also fpr vegans and vegitarians. Not cheap but not too pricy at basically 10 doallars for a sald with a side of fruit or chip. Theres also a sandwich with a side of sald chips or fruit. Also you can pick from chickian, tri tip, tuna, or vegan chickian as a protein option for that salad and sandwiches. For the sandwiches you can choose whole wheat bread, wrap, panini or gluten free bread.They also have some drinks and deserts you can choose.
Delicious food. Had the Southwest salad with ahi tuna. They pan sear it when you order so it was really fresh. Will eat here again.
Fresh quality ingredients really make a difference. Made to order, these sandwiches are wonderful.
The owner truly cares about his food and his customers! By far one of my favorite places in Monrovia. Food is amazing and healthy, you can’t go wrong with this place.
Best organic healthy food in Monrovia. The tea in the glass dispensers is a little rough to take. Just go with the food and their excellent coffee!!
Good food for vegans and vegetarians.I hear chicken and try tip are good.Cozy indoor eating area, a few tables outsideTrendy.Medium sized portions
The food is healthy, thats for sure, but the salads that my wife and I got were somewhat boring. The ambiance is nice with creative decor, which I liked. The parking is not an issue, but the location is so-so. However, the reason that I am giving this place 3 stars is not because of the food, nor the ambiance, nor the location, but because of a somewhat weird experience we had with one of the staff members. While we were in line this person snapped (not harshly, but snapped nonetheless) at a little girl for leaning on the wall where there was some menu items written in chalk. Completely not necessary in my opinion. I mean come on, its chalk, you can just write it again. And then when this same staff member brought the food to our table he or she noticed that my wife had two apples instead of one on her plate (their fault and not a big deal at all). Instead of just letting us have the extra apple, this person went to grab a paper towel to pick up the extra apple off of my wifes plate. Now I have worked in the food service industry before and this is a huge no-no, not to mention just kind of rude. If the plate touches the guests table then it absolutely DOES NOT GO BACK TO THE KITCHEN! Anyway, this whole experience turned me off to this place. I dont know if Ill go back, but I doubt it.
Best wraps and sandwiches in town!!! Plenty of vegan options too. Friendly service
Best turkey and pesto panini Ive had in a long time. You have a choice of a side salad or chips with your wrap, panini or sandwich order. The menu is not a large, but even so there was a variety of items to choose. The lady who took our order was very friendly and helpful in explaining the food choices. Will definitely be returning.
Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere here. The staff are really friendly!
Great food and service.
First of all, Richie is a nice guy, positive attitude, and the food is good, had the walnut vegan chicken and an Americano, also good. Always happy to find eateries with healthy choices.
Great service, very friendly. Good ice tea and great food! Salad portions are good size and a meal in themselves
Delicious food and affordable prices. Sandwich, soup, iced tea $12!?!? Awesome. They have plenty vegetarian and vegan options and the place inside is really nice.
Something Healthy is a great local alternative to good and affordable eating in the city of Monrovia.Its conveniently located next to a 24 Hour Fitness and have ample parking in and around their lot.The menu consists of delicious and hearty sandwiches, wraps, panini sandwiches, and soups. My favorite sandwiches of all is the SUNDRIED TURKEY SANDWICH, which is loaded with a sun-dried tomato spread with avocado, alfalfa, and butter lettuce in between two slices of sourdough bread, I love this sandwich and never get tired of it. If you order a 1/2 sandwich, it usually comes with a side salad.
Price is good, paninis are above average. Ill go and try the salads and update my review according. Place gives a good vibe of youre into that coffee shop kind of style.
Love this place. The various receipes they have created are spectacular. Nothing basic or part of the norm. Of course you cam get basic if you want. Portions are large and usually 2 meals for me. They have gluten-free bread and I usually have a panini and side salad. Highly recommended!
So good and healthy and love their lemonades
Review from 2010.I decided to try this place for lunch today and Im glad I did! The restaurant is located in an awkward place where its in between Churchs Chicken and 24 Hour Fitness on Shamrock street. I didnt really take a look too much at decor and such only because I was famished and couldnt wait to get my grub on. All I remember was that it was clean.So I walked up and and asked the cashier what was good and she was helpful to give me some ideas. I ended up getting a half sandwich and soup. I really didnt want to eat too much since Ive been watching my portions lately. I ended up getting the Sun-dried Tomato Turkey sandwich and Tomato Basil soup. They were both really good. The Sun-dried Tomato Turkey sandwich had avocado, alfalfa sprouts, sun-dried tomato spread, butter lettuce on sourdough bread. Everything about this sandwich is just really good! It definitely tasted light and that was something that I wanted. I hate eating the heavy stuff and making me feel like *ish the rest of the day. The Tomato Basil soup was creamy and good. It was definitely the perfect portion for lunch. I do plan on coming back possibly even tomorrow and trying other items from their menu or I might just order the same thing because it was just that good!There is something that I recommend them improving and that is to put fun upbeat hip music to kind of get the staff going. They all seemed a bit calm and not as happy. Customer service would be even greater if they seemed a bit more upbeat and smiling more. Id also like to see that the cashier be a little more informative about what makes their store unique as opposed to other sandwich shops. I honestly didnt know that they make their own dressing, sauces, and spread. They should also mention that they only use cholesterol-reducing unsaturated oils. I think that is important to tell newcomers. I actually found out after bringing my lunch back to the office and looking at the brochure I took with me. This place has a lot of potential.
The owner lives to give at Something Healthy. Great ambiance, decorated simply but sheek.They have great healthy drinks, and excellent customer service, positive affirmations and they serve excellent FRESH food made to order so if your in a hurry call in and place your order early at lunch time!! The food its Delicious! If you love your body and you love food this is the place for you! Prices are great for the food that is great for your body!Salads are huge! SOUPS are yummy! You get to try 5 assortments of teas with one order. Breakfast, Lunch or Early Dinner, you will be able to eat and relax in the restaurant decor with a soft green ambiance around you as if you were eating in a green garden. I almost forget to tell you they cater to the VEGAN CROWD as well. I love all of their soups. Yum yum yum! The owner what can I say? He is amazing! a man who follows the divine one and he is so humble and kind and gives with a heart of great food and love Tell him ❤SASCHA BOUJETTO SENT YOU.
Excellent service and food
Quick and healthy. I recommend eating there and not while driving in the car.
Just had a light dinner that was healthy and filling in all the right ways! I agree with previous reviews below and Ice Tea. Unsweetened several choice s and wonderful with tha beautiful half roast beef and half Cesear salad. Hubby had a big salad that made him smile. Nick was helpful and informative....did you know they also make their own pickles?nothing but great reviews here. We will be back soon!
Had vegan chicken southwestern wrap. Was amazing and came with a fresh salad. Organic teas are amazing with cool unusual flavor choices
Just tried this place after a hike. Had the coconut curry soup and walnut chicken basil pesto panini. It was bomb!! I want more of the curry!
Good selection of vegetarian and vegan sandwiches and salads also regular fare
The sockeye salmon was so good! It was the most excellent I tasted in my trip, Nice ambiance and friendly service.
