MRKT at The Reserve

UPDATE: Meatball sandwich is no longer a regular item on the menu, but it comes back from time-​to-​time as a special. Under this technicality, no blood will be spilled.

Staff is friendly, especially the cashier. Food is tasty but kind of pricey. My biggest gripe is that their side salad is literally only lettuce and dressing. At least toss something else in there!

Still a huge fan of MRKT. The breakfast burrito is indeed delicious and not crazy big either. I love the fresh and healthy options, occasionally I wish there were more options. I like that they offer a weekly bowl and a rotating list of specials. And their cookies are not to be missed.
The staff is all super friendly and their catering services are on-​time, flexible, reasonably-​priced and again, healthy. So happy that the MRKT continues to please.

Overpriced and not that good. Sometimes I go out of convenience, but I feel ripped off every time. You’re better off going over to whole foods nearby. The veggie burger comes out to ~$ 11.50 and I’m still hungry afterwards.

Awesome and easy lunch. Chicken bowl is a nice hearty option. The salmon salad is a good light lunch option. Fresh ingredients and awesome outdoor seating overlooking an active volleyball court.

The food is so good! They make the effort to make a business park lunch spot have good food and great quality. The food is a premium but it’s on par (if not cheaper) with any sit down lunch place that’s a solid mid-​tier offering. The food would easily integrate into an Urth Café … minus the fact that it’s not a daunting 5 pages long. This place is fast, the menu changes often, the staff is incredibly accommodating to requests and I think they aim to please. Today I had this Italian Salmon Bowl, the fish was done perfectly (note I got fish — this is a place that you can get the fish, just saying), it came with a pasta salad and veggies — for $ 10. I think that’s incredibly fair and, again, it’s really good. The other week I had their Mediterranean Bowl which was with salmon or beef gyro meat (yes I had both variations) with rice, cucumber/​tomato salad, taziki and pita and I think those bowls were right around $ 9 & $ 10. I think the bowls are excellent and they’re priced really well.

Not bad at all. good food. nice location. and very convenient for people who work at the reserve. but i wish it’s a little bit cheaper. get the veggie burger. it’s worth it.

Over-​priced and under-​delicious.
There were high hopes at the Reserve, a professional business park, before this place opened. Sadly, the prices are way too high and the food is forgettable, too small or just plain bad. For example, the burger for $ 10.50 is just plain obscene. Meat, bun, sauce and bitter greens. Reports from co-​workers confirm the meatball sub is OK, but small, light on meatballs and mostly bun for $ 9.00 plus tax. No one here goes to this place unless they are screaming busy or want to be mercilessly gouged. I have to imagine all the glowing reviews came from the staff at MRKT, or simply people bereft of taste with too much cash.

Not really digging this place the daily specials are more like weekly specials the prices aren’t in line for what you get. The meatball sub is the best thing on the menu for a meat lover like me and let’s just say it’s a little underwhelming with three meatballs and more bread than anything else even though the bread is great. The hamburger is a little on the small side for the price. What needs to happen first is have a daily specials menu that changes every day like a cafeteria. I would lower the prices a little or have a combo meal sandwich and fries/​salad.

When I was wandering around waiting for my friend to get done with class, I wandered into this place at The Reserve. It’s located in the middle of offices, but the coolest office area I’ve seen! I could see into all of the offices through their glass walls, there were tons of (wood table) seating outside and also a volleyball court that people were playing at during lunch. It’s a little hard to get to since you have to walk around and through gates — I almost felt like I wasn’t allowed in this outdoor office area. Since I’m overly curious, I kept on going to try to find this place. I’m glad I did because it was delicious! It has salads, sandwiches, juice, smoothies… everything fresh, healthy and yummy! The prices did seem quite high, but the it was tasty and healthy options. I got a salad and the green smoothie — YUM. The green smoothie was one of my favorites!

Ingredients are fresh and tastes great but for the dollar value, it just doesn’t make sense to pay so much for a breakfast burrito the size of a hotdog. Not a Costco hotdog, a backyard BBQ hotdog that fits perfectly into the hands of a 6 year old. The food cart at Home Depot across the street has more food for your money. It’s probably a great place if you’re trying to watch your weight or what you eat while punishing yourself with costs.
I have no comments on the coffee’s and whatnot since I don’t drink that often.
It’s convenient if you don’t want to leave the lot but there are other places within walking distance that is much better.

Ahem. Excuse me? Your price range is NOT under $ 10.
Though the food is good and ingredients are fresh, I only come here for a last resort lunch or if I’m pressed for time and need to get back to the office. The menu is limited and I cringe at the thought of paying $ 10 for a sandwich that is 60% bread/​40% substance. The salads could use more excitement also. The meatball sub is delicious but it was more like a breadroll, and oh, there are 2 meatballs!!! WAT.
Add more items to the menu, rotate the daily specials, serve breakfast items ALL DAY, and drop the price a dollar or two… OR put more meatballs in that sub, more tuna in that sandwich!

MRKT is a great building café. It has everything you would want out of a café in Los Angeles. I love the fresh, new market sides each day.
Nick is one of the best barista’s I have ever met-​really caring about the coffee he is serving and dedicated to bringing in quality, fair-​trade beans. The owner, Harold and chef Ryan are super receptive to any catering needs.

Perfect. I love this little café. It’s bright, welcoming and the lattes never let you down.
Plus, can we just have a minute to think about their perfect acai bowls? Cause honey, it doesn’t get much better than that.
