Green Earth Cafe

Love this place! They’re quick and have delicious food and smoothies. Staff is great. They only accept cash but there’s an atm one floor below.

This is seriously the worst sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. Disgusting. Can’t wait for the next restaurant to replace this terrible business.

Worst tasting coffee ever. It was so bitter like it had alcohol in it and they overcharge u on shots and almond milk… 1.50 for one shot of vanilla favoring and 1.00 for almond milk… i will never come back to this terrrible place again.

WARNING: CASH ONLY. OK, now on to the review:
Walking around this part of Hollywood, you won’t find many «cheap eats». Green Earth Café is a respite for your debit and credit cards (which you’ve already probably wore out while shopping around the area).
For a mere $ 6.75 I got a turkey and Swiss croissant sandwich. Yes, the meat was deli meat (as opposed to fresh carved) and none of the veggies were «fancy», but, you know what? It was a good sandwich.
My daughter wanted a fruit bowl, which they were out of. To my surprise, by the time my sandwich was ready, and before I was charged, the guy making my sandwich informed me that the fruit bowl would be ready in about two minutes, as the other employee was working on it. I gladly thanked them both and took the fruit bowl (my daughter loved it: watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, oranges and grapes).
My eight year old niece went with the Chicken Focaccia and loved it.
Hey, if you can satisfy me, a three and an eight year old at the same eatery, I’m a happy Unilocaler!

Before walking a few blocks up the street to «Second City» for a play, the group and I walked around the Hollywood & Highland complex looking for a place to grab something to eat. One in the group suggested Green Earth Café, saying he’s come here many times over the years and «it’s always been good».
SERVICE: They were nice enough and I only waited about 5 minutes after placing my order. This is a «order at the counter and TRY to find seating outside» kind of place. Also Cash only.
FOOD: After looking over the menu a couple times, I decided on a Chicken Salad sandwich on a Croissant ($ 6.75).
It looked very fresh, but the chicken salad had an odd orange tint to it. Once I bit into it, the flavor was fine, but the chicken salad wasn’t as cold as it should’ve been, as if it had been sitting out on the counter for 30 minutes. I began thinking «am I going to get sick due to poor refrigeration?» As it turns out, I didn’t and everything was fine.
While waiting for them to make my sandwich, I found myself looking at the dessert counter again and again.
When it came time to pay for my sandwich, I also decided to take the plunge and buy a piece of carrot cake ($ 5) as well. It was moist and had that great carrot cake flavor, YUM!
OVERALL: The sandwich was OK, but the carrot cake was delish. I won’t go back for a sandwich, but I might go back for dessert when in the area! 2.5 starts generously rounded up, only because of dessert.

Ambush prices! All menus out front have one rate but their menu on the back wall has a post it note price increase. They charged the higher price without telling me. When I asked for the difference to be refunded they refused.
Cash only!
Had to tell the girl my one sandwich order 4 times! It’s not complicated.
Wow never coming back here again.

They only accept cash. OK… you’re still reading?
Their name is soooooo misleading!!!
Well, for a place called «Green Earth Café» I thought I was going to enjoy a plethora of good, wholesome, maybe even organic menu choices.
But there is nothing in Green. Or Earth. Or Café that would invoke images of corn dogs or smoothies made from beverage mix. I’d expect fresh sandwiches, smoothies made from actual fruit or veggies, seasonal fruit plates, and gotta have kale. Just kidding. But seriously, where’s the kale?
On a positive note, my veggie sandwich on wheat bread was delicious. Was it worth nearly $ 7? It wasn’t artisanal bread or anything like that. It was plain Jane wheat slices. Microscopic serving of avocado. Plenty Bibb lettuce, tomatoes, a sliver of red onion, slice of cheese, couple slices of cucumber, and mustard.
Buttttt…it’s Hollywood. So $ 7 was to be expected?
It’s a place to grab a quick bite. But if there’s a line you’re gonna be there a while.

Bland boring sandwiches. Wish I had never came here. The meat, bread, cheese all poor flavorless quality, and I mean Hilshire Farm or would have been better. This was that 50 cent sale meat no one wants — NO

People seem to really have a problem with the slushies– I didn’t get one so I can’t comment.
People seem to really have a problem with «Cash Only». Which is weird. It’s cash only. You put everything on a credit card? Are you the Average American household with $ 16,000 in credit card debt? You still want to put more things on that credit card?
Anyway, I got a chicken salad sandwich on toasted white bread, and I liked it. Tasted good. They didn’t mess it up, and the price is good (probably, not upcharging for having to swipe credit cards is a plus in the overall price of this place in the heart of Hollywood).
So, yeah, I’d recommend it for a nice sandwich on the go. It’s like a Mom-​and-​Pop Quizno’s as far as I’m concerned…

This place calls itself «Green Earth Café» but I beg to differ!
After wandering in circles in the Hollywood & Highland center on a hot and exhausting day, we came by this place which seemingly had cheap delicious smoothies. The Piña colada looked good so we got that one.
It tasted really artificial– as though they got candy, melted it, and put it in a cup with ice. It was definitely loaded with corn syrup or something. The sweetness was overwhelming. My friend literally felt his teeth rotting. He tried to go back and ask to add tequila to it because honestly that’s probably the only way to save the drink (jokingly of course), but to no avail.
C’mon. You’d expect better places than this in a place like Hollywood. You’re gonna lose tourists!

This place is absolutely lame!
We get there only to find out that they are «cash only»!
We tell the people behind the counter that we will be right back with cash… we come back within 3 minutes at most being that the Bank of America ATM in just downstairs, you can even see it from the place!
Anyways we come back with cash and the woman and minion behind the counter greet us with a «We are not serving food anymore.»
Are you kidding me?
LAME! I hope this waste of space is replaced soon.

I just wanted a quick sandwich. The only option in this mall is Green Earth Café. The name makes is sound like a healthy artisanal spot. It’s not. It’s a very low quality establishment. I think the products they use may have came from the dollar store. The bread and the meat they are using are not acceptable. I won’t event eat at Subway but Subway would have been a better choice. What is a store like this even doing here? Put Quiznos back. Maybe get a Jimmy Johns? Anything is better!
Oh and the «smoothie» I think it was an entire cup of sugar and some mango flavored paste. Eww!

Hollywood is full of vegetables. Mental vegetables.
That’s why I came to Green Earth Café in order to sample one of their tasty vegetable sandwiches. Unfortunately at this day it wasn’t that great. Actually this is the first time I’ve eaten one of their vegetable sandwiches, so on this day, or any day in my life, it wasn’t that great.
The service was good though but I just don’t really see anything special about this joint. It’s fairly standard stuff. maybe the fruit smoothies are better. I’ll probably never know.
That’s my review.

Having lunch here was like watching a car crash in slow motion. I knew how this thing would end, but I just couldn’t look away. In my case, I was running late for a meeting and knew this would be the only food I could get for the next few hours.
«Cash only. Is that ok?» Uhh, what year is this and why is this still an option? Oh, so I suppose subbing carrots for the sprouts on my veggie sandwich is ok, too? I might not care much if you mention it, but at least mention it.
I finally sit down to eat this sandwich and can’t believe what I’m looking at. It’s like I’m 7 again and my mom just made me a sandwich for my lunchbox. Nothing special here, just some really pedestrian food. If you can, completely avoid this place.

It is small snadwitch place which is supposed to be natural, healthy, and green. I and few of my frends had 30 minutes to have some food before we get the rental car. I had banana strawberry smoothie which had too little fruits, if any, in it and had tonnes of sugar. My friend had coffee and sandwiches. Sandwich was similar to other frozen sandwitchs — the bread seems to not fresh at all. Coffee was also not any desirable. In short avoid this place if you can.

This place was beyond awful. Exorbitantly high prices and small dishes. They take advantage of tourists who don’t know better. What’s more is that for their whole «green earth» organic BS all their stuff looks and tastes frozen and they microwave precooked frozen chicken. GROSS. Would rather go to SUBWAY!

I never ate their food before. I basically just wanted something to buy to get my parking ticket validated, so at least they do that much. I was thirsty and got a small piña colada smoothie, which was good, but I could get a large size smoothie from Jamba Juice for about 40 more cents. I guess since this is a highly touristy spot, OK. The fact that they take ONLY cash is the true stinker! WHO the the heck just takes cash? They need to put up signs saying that, so they don’t have to say it to people every time. The one star is for that and getting little for your money.

Wow, really surprised at the bad reviews! We stopped by to split a sandwich before the Unilocal holiday party at the Rolling Stone lounge. We were told first thing that it was cash only so that wasn’t a problem. We ordered the California roll wrap, which was chicken, lettuce, sprouts, tomatoes, avocado, and pesto. It was really pretty tasty.
Price was good considering the area… $ 7 or so. She validated our parking and let us have a cup of water for free. I would come back here next time I’m hungry at this mall.

It’s such a cute little café, with drinks that imitate the sweet nectars of the celestial stream that has only been touched by god itself! After a sip of the heavenly piña colada, an intensely flavorful pineapple + coconut drink that costs about $ 4.50 a cup, you’d feel as if you’ve morphed into the goddess of lovE~~ well. not quite.
You’re quickly pushed into reality as you realize. you’re in a shopping square, with bundles of sweat bodies roaming around you, in a late summer night. All the better. Why? Because the cashier, a young lad with a seriously sizzling little bod greets you with an «I know I’m hot» attitude and a quick «what would you like to have.»
oh! so rude to be staring at you, but. okay. I will have a piña colada please. Then. as I took my first mouthful, I started seeing stars and. feelin unusually giddy.
the intoxications are real.
the mesmerizing smell of wet perfume is real too.
Man, did they slip some hallucinogens or is it really THAT trippy to drink a smoothie in Hollywood? go figure.
Yeah, all in all, their smoothies are THAT good. you owe it to yourself to try one.

I asked the short mexican woman behind the counter if the place gives validation, because i don’t want to buy something and not be able to get validated at hollywood+highland. she gave me attitude, and i tried to calm her boner by telling her that i did intend to buy something — just wanted to make sure that they validate.
so the bottle of Arizona tea turns out to be $ 3.50. at the stores it’s like $ 0.99. things here are pretty overpriced and the menu didn’t offer anything exciting, even though it’s located at the most happening tourist spot in hollywood.
i guess instead of paying $ 6 for parking, i paid $ 5.50 ($ 2 + $ 3.50) but also got a bottle of tea, so overall i’m still up in the scheme of things.
sad times.
