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 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.

Re becca

have been searching for a good restaurant that Delivers and that can give us a good deal for cattering. So after a couple of failed attempts i finally got it right! I had ordered a bunch of Sandwhiches (which were all wheat) and a bunch of Wraps. Everything came with a nice box that consist of either a Fruits or Salad. not only did it looked appitizing but it truly was..Healthy! Everyone in the office gave me thumbs up and even asked for the location so they can go on there own free time! I am very pleased! Everything was indeed Something Healthy! healthy and delicious, the best combination!

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.

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.

Strange hipster cafe that has too many food/ beverage selections absent....no pastries, only tea and coffee drinks, wraps, salads amd sandwiches, soups (coffee is a poison, so the something healthy argument is moot), no fruit salad, just apples and bananas ;/ Prep tines are long. Green chairs are uncomfortable. Staff is nice. Many decorarive books line the wall, and many art works that looks like they were made by a homeless person ar2w scattered throughout They close at 3:30pm which is beyond weird.

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

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!

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!

Very impressive space with a smart manager - very friendly to the regulars. Wifi a plus! Pesto sandwiches are great. Wish they were constantly bombarded with coffee drinkers therefore they would have drip going all day. Clean place. So clean it smells like Fabuloso a little too much. lol
