Coolgreens

CoolGreens is always my go to spot when it’s nearby. It’s always clean, bright and those behind the counter making my salad are happy! How nice is that?
I like that I can choose how my salad will be made! Kudos to CoolGreens!

Refreshing meals that are quick and you can take on the go if you are in a hurry! Delish! Tired of all the fatty choices stop here you won’t be disappointed!

They have really gone downhill the last few months. They discontinued 2 of their best dressings, are exceedingly stingy with toppings, and increased prices. $ 0.75 to add a tsp of sunflower seeds? The staff turnover is nightmarish as well — you make salads — please learn how to chop lettuce if requested… just…wha? No. Not kidding. No more thanx reward program either.

If you want to be told «NO» as a paying customer, then this is the place for you. After «trying» this place out many times and many different locations, I’m continuously let down by the lack of customer service and consistent outages (ie: sorry, we’re out of jalapeños today).
They do have many good healthy options (when available) if you’re trying to eat light on-​the-​go and ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere. However, the lack of respect for their customers leads me to believe that any hopes of longevity for this business will be squashed if a friendlier and properly managed competitor comes to the OKC market.
Me– «May I have a large To Go cup for my water?»
CG– «NO. You can have the small one. It comes with a lid»
*Why on earth would I be refused a normal sized water when I just bought a $ 13 (spicy I might add) salad?!
Me– «May I get the feature wrap, but in a salad instead?»
CG– «NO. Sorry, no modifications. You can only get it in a salad if you’re gluten free»
*What?! You can only leave off the whole wheat tortilla wrap if I tell you that I am gluten intolerant?!
Me– «I would like to add shrimp to my salad»
CG– «Ok, that’s going to take a while»
Me– «That’s fine. How long are you thinking?»
CG– «I don’t know. A while»
*Ooooooh kayyyyy. I guess I’ll leave then.
After giving the old CG many tries, today was my final straw. I wrote a poor review to seal my fate and I won’t be stepping inside another location again. Good riddance Cool Greens, if I want to be told «No» continuously, I’ll ask my boss for a raise instead.

The food is good and I enjoy the healthy selections. The service level has really suffered. Either the employees aren’t trained well, or employees don’t stay long enough to learn the ropes. Today I heard the couple in front of me being asked three times if their order was to go… by the same person. I was asked if mine was to go right after I told the guy making my wrap that I needed it to go. He even acknowledged me when I said that. There were 3 people working the line and they would ask questions «do you want chicken» I would give my answer and then that same individual wouldn’t do that part of the order, or communicate it to the next person finishing my wrap. I had to remind them to add chicken to mine because after being asked two times if I wanted a protein, it was still forgotten. The ordering process is slow and frustrating and then you shell out $ 30 for two wraps one drink and a cookie? The employees at both the memorial location and the Avondale location are too busy joining with each other than listening to the customer and giving good service. It’s a shame because it didn’t use to be this way.

Coolgreens is a great place to go if you’re in the mood for something light, filling, but on the healthier side. You can get big but healthy salads, pizzas, sandwiches, soups. However… if you’re not the type to have patience with errors on your order, I don’t recommend Coolgreens.
I have been about 5 times since they very first opened and I have never gone without something on my order being messed up. Either they forget to make one of our pizzas, or they give us the wrong soup, something always happens. Although, forgetting to make one of the pizzas we ordered has actually happened more than once. I don’t understand the issue there.
Anyway, OKC does need more restaurants with healthier options like Coolgreens, but hopefully with better service.

Awesomest place for a salad !! Customer service awesome. Manager came to check on us. Will be frequenting this place for sure. We are new to okc so this is a great healthy find. Flatbreads were also great. Only feedback is medium salad dressing was pretty heavy but that’s an eaSy fix. No pics to post bc I ate all my vegetables! They even have frozen yogurt !!

We used to love coming here. Salads were always good. After they opened a few other locations the quality went downhill (often but not always getting wilted or even mushy greens) with employees who are anything but pleasant.

Two workers taking a break when I came in. One girl making the salad and then having to go back and sear the tuna. Probably took twice as long as it should have. I hope the salad is worth it because I waited a while.

Food is fresh, but their online ordering is really annoying. It randomly declines cards, and they rarely have the same items in store as are options online, so prepare for a confusing mess at pick up. This literally happens every time; I think I’ve finally been burned enough.

I’ve been here 3 times. First was flatbread that was just ok loved the toppings just the bread was very dry and yogurt was good. The 2^nd time was a wonderful salad. The 3^rd time was last week and really enjoyed my steak wrap and potato leek soup. It was really good. It needed hot sauce. I went back and the guys were nice and gave me some siracha. The chocolate chip cookie special was also delish and healthy made with bananas. We did miss the yogurt this time though. I really wish they would bring it back. Also, they really need to put in a diaper changing area in the bathroom bc us moms meet here quite often with our babies.

Great, clean and good food but the employees at night are absolutely terrible! When I finally got someone to tend to me she literally just left after I said I wanted a build your own salad. A much nicer girl got my salad after waiting for another couple of minutes but then another new rude girl checked me out just handed my receipt to me and that was it. She didn’t say thank you or care to bag my salad with napkins and silverware, I had to ask for a bag and pack it myself. I was pretty annoyed especially after paying $ 10 for just a to go salad. Like I said before, the food is excellent but those young employees kind of kill it for me.

After receiving a message from the new owner saying there was a change of management, we decided to give it another shot. Went in yesterday and had one caprese wrap and one asian wrap. Boyfriend liked his caprese and I really liked the asian wrap. I thought it was so much better that they seem to have gotten rid of the super stingy policy as far as sides go and give you a real scoop of whatever you order! :)
Overall I saw improvement with the service, the employees actually knew what to put in the order and the food was still great so I will be going back.

CoolGreens has been on my list to try for a long time now, based on raves of many friends and coworkers. So after some shopping with the family on a rainy summer morning, CoolGreens sounded like the perfect place to stop in for lunch.
After deciphering the menu options (wrap vs. salad or pizza), we got in line to order. The wife and I went with full salads and side of soup while our 8y/​o went with the kid’s pizza with chicken and fruit. In retrospect, the kid’s option wasn’t enough food for him as he had a few bites of our salads. We will probably just get him the half salad next time.
As for the grownups, we had the Southwest Harvest and Bahamian Jerk (both with chicken) with sides of Butternut Squash soup and Southwest Chicken soup. The Southwest was a good blend of fruits, seasoning, and vinaigrette while the Bahamian left a little to be desired. I liked the mix of black beans and mango salsa, but with something called Bahamian Jerk, I guess I expected a little more zip in the flavors. As for the soups, the Southwest Chicken soup was the perfect compliment to the Harvest salad while the Butternut Squash soup only needed a bit of salt and pepper to really get the flavors to come out.
In the end, I was really close to giving them a five star rating. We really enjoyed CoolGreens and plan to be back to try some of the other options and see if they can tip me over the edge.

I love this place! Its kind of out of the way from where I live, but the food is more than worth the gas money! They have wonderful salads and flatbreads. They also cater nicely to vegetarians. To top it off, they have wonderful frozen yogurt. I would recommend this restaurant anytime!

Nothing special. My flatbread thing was OK. The bread was lame in the taste department.
Lots of skinny people here.

We love eating here! It’s healthy, and delicious! This is a relaxed restaurant where you stand in line to order, then get a number and sit down. If you get a salad, they make it right in front of you and you get it right away. If you order a sandwich or pizza, they make it in the back. All of the food is put together fresh, so this is NOT fast food. Sometimes you may wait a little extra time for your pizza or hot sandwich, but it is WORTH THE WAIT!
The food is fresh, and very healthy. They have really come up with some great recipes. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cool Greens.

I’m struggling with the stars I should give this location, so I will break it down below:
Food: ***** The food is consistently healthy, fresh and delicious at all locations. This one is no different.
Price: *** ½ (I know halves don’t exist but whatever, I do what I want!) I would give it four stars, but if you aren’t careful, the add-​ons and drinks can add up. I had a salad with chicken and a water for under $ 9, my sister had a salad with shrimp and an iced tea and hers was almost $ 16. So if you are careful, it is totally reasonable.
Location: **** for something out ‘that way’ as I see it, it is fairly accessible and parking is easy. Much better than everything at Memorial and Penn.
Service: *** which makes me sad. There were two guys behind the counter who could not have been nicer. But ya know that old adage that one bad apple can spoil the bunch? A woman waited on us who was impatient, not helpful, and made us feel like we were putting her out. We were the only ones in line and it there were only a handful of customers at tables. She was later spotted eating her lunch, so maybe she was hangry and we were delaying her deliciousness, but if that is the case, ask the friendly fellas to help out while you eat. It isn’t hard.
I’m no math whiz, but it looks like about a 3.75. That service really killed it for me though and I don’t know that I will go out of my way to return, so three is my story and I’m sticking to it.

I’m so thankful for CoolGreens, tucked in little corners of the city, it seems there is always one right when you need it. And when don’t you need a crisp, yummy, healthy salad? I love that they’ve offered us an option that doesn’t take any more time or much more money than regular fast food.
This is also a great place for picky people, since you can personally oversee every single ingredient to go into your salad. I like to get the Asian shrimp salad, light on the dressing, minus the citrus and sprouts, sub extra tomatoes and cucumbers. This is also one place I always opt for water, because they have so much fruit available to add to the cold, filtered water.
I usually don’t get the pizzas (since I have enough pizza in my life), or the soup (because I’ve just never been a big soup gal). But the salads, fro yo and clean, modern feel will keep me coming back for a long time to come.

Looking for a light lunch place, we found CoolGreens. The environment was clean, crisp, and inviting you enter the front door. It was well staffed with smiling, friendly staff. Large seating area was also a plus!
I enjoyed the southwest chicken wrap. The fact that you can watch them make your meal is a plus. They can add or remove ingredients as needed. The wrap was presented well with a side of pasta salad. My wife had a delicious looking flatbread with fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, and basil.
Clean plates, delicious food, good times!
Next time I’m in town I will be sure to stop again!
