Sweetgreen Menu With Prices

The sweetgreen menu with prices typically runs from about $4–$7 for small sides and drinks to $14–$19 for most salads, bowls, and plates, with regional pricing, delivery fees, and paid customizations changing the final total.

Sweetgreen Menu Prices at a Glance

Sweetgreen prices vary by city, restaurant, ordering channel, and ingredient substitutions. The ranges below are practical planning estimates for U.S. locations in 2026 rather than a single nationwide price list. In higher-cost metropolitan areas, the same entrée may cost several dollars more than at a suburban location.

Current Sweetgreen Bowls and Typical Prices

Sweetgreen’s bowls generally combine grains or another hearty base with vegetables, dressing, and a protein. They are often the most filling choice for a main meal, especially when ordered with roasted vegetables or a double base.

• Chicken or roasted-protein bowls: usually $15–$19.
• Vegetarian or plant-forward bowls: usually $14–$18.
• Premium-protein bowls: commonly $17–$22, depending on the location and protein.
• Seasonal bowls: commonly $15–$20 and may disappear when the seasonal menu changes.

Common bowl-style combinations include a grain base, roasted vegetables, greens, chicken, tofu, beans, or a creamy dressing. Choosing a plant-based protein or skipping an included protein can reduce the price, while adding avocado, extra protein, or a premium topping can push the order above the normal range.

Sweetgreen Salads and Prices

Signature salads normally cost about $14–$18. A salad with chicken, steak, or another substantial protein is usually more expensive than a greens-only order. Some menu locations also offer seasonal salads with ingredients that carry a higher price.

• Greens-focused salads: approximately $13–$16.
• Salads with chicken, tofu, or beans: approximately $14–$18.
• Salads with premium protein or several add-ons: approximately $17–$22.

Many signature salads can be modified without changing the base price: customers can remove onions, swap dressings, change greens, or leave out a topping. Paid additions are different. Avocado, extra chicken, steak, warm grains, cheese, nuts, and some seasonal toppings may each add to the subtotal.

Sweetgreen Plates

Plates are typically built around a larger protein serving with vegetables and one or more sides. Expect a usual price of $15–$20 before tax, although a premium protein or extensive customization can take the order beyond that range.

A plate is usually the better choice when protein and satiety matter more than keeping the bill low. It can also be a practical option for splitting components, such as eating the vegetables immediately and saving part of the grain or protein for another meal. Portion sizes and included sides are location-dependent, so check the item description before assuming every plate has the same components.

Sides, Snacks, and Drinks

Sides

Small sides generally cost $4–$8. Depending on the restaurant, choices may include bread, warm vegetables, beans, grains, fruit, chips, or another small accompaniment. A side containing extra protein or a premium ingredient may exceed this range.

Drinks

Drinks usually range from $3–$7. Bottled water and basic unsweetened beverages are often at the lower end, while specialty teas, lemonades, or other prepared drinks tend to cost more. A drink ordered through a delivery platform may have a different price from the same drink ordered at the restaurant.

How much is a complete meal?

A realistic pre-tax budget for one entrée and one drink is about $18–$26. An entrée, side, and drink is more often $23–$33. Delivery service charges, taxes, small-order fees, and a tip can raise the final checkout total substantially.

Best Choice by Budget and Appetite

Worked Sweetgreen Order Calculation

Suppose a customer orders a chicken bowl for $17, adds avocado for $2, chooses a drink for $4, and adds a $6 side. The food subtotal is:

$17 + $2 + $4 + $6 = $29

If the local sales tax is 8%, tax adds about $2, bringing the in-store total to approximately $31 before any tip. Delivery can add a service fee, delivery charge, and higher menu pricing, so the same selection may reach roughly $36–$45 at checkout. This is why comparing only the entrée price can underestimate the real cost.

How Regional and Customization Differences Change the Price

• Regional menu pricing: restaurants in major cities and high-cost areas often list higher entrée prices than locations in smaller markets.
• Digital-menu differences: the app, website, in-store ordering, and third-party delivery menus may not show identical prices.
• Protein upgrades: extra chicken, steak, or another premium protein is one of the fastest ways to increase the total.
• Premium toppings: avocado, nuts, cheese, extra grains, and specialty toppings may carry separate charges.
• Ingredient substitutions: swapping one included ingredient for another may be free, but adding rather than swapping generally costs more.
• Seasonal availability: limited-time ingredients and seasonal entrées may vary by restaurant and may be removed without notice.

How to Keep a Sweetgreen Order Within Budget

For a target under $20

Choose a standard salad or bowl, use the included ingredients, skip premium add-ons, and select water or no drink. A plant-forward entrée is usually easier to keep below $20 than an entrée with premium protein.

For a target around $25

Choose one chicken-based salad or bowl and one standard drink. If you want avocado or another paid topping, skip the side so the order stays closer to budget.

For a target above $30

A plate, side, drink, and one paid customization generally fits this range at many locations. Check the subtotal before checkout because several small additions can cost as much as a second side.

FAQ

Does sweetgreen have the same prices everywhere?

No. Prices vary by region, restaurant, ordering method, ingredient availability, and delivery channel. The local digital menu is the best source for the exact current price.

Is delivery more expensive than ordering in the restaurant?

It can be. Delivery orders may include different menu pricing plus service, delivery, small-order, and regulatory fees. Taxes and tip are usually separate as well.

What is the cheapest way to order a filling meal?

A standard plant-forward bowl or salad with the included ingredients and water is usually the most economical full meal. Avoiding extra protein and premium toppings has the largest effect on the subtotal.

Can I customize a salad or bowl?

Yes. You can generally remove ingredients, change greens or dressing, and adjust components. The exact charge depends on whether an ingredient is substituted or added, so review the updated subtotal before paying.
