Sano Salad

When I first walked in, I had high hopes for this establishment. There aren’t a lot of healthy options in town, so I was happy to see salad and smoothies on offer. I ordered three smoothies, all made with yogurt (rather than almond milk) and here’s how it went down:
1) Strawberry-​Banana: This one was pretty tasty, according to my sister, who drank her whole smoothie. It was a little creamy for my tastes, and sweet, but overall this one was good.
2) Peach-​Carrot: I admit that I made a mistake with this one, and added a scoop of peanut butter to the mix (instead of the flavored protein mixes). The combination was revolting, but I’m not convinced that it was solely the peanut butter that was at fault — especially because there was so much fibrous material in the bottom of the smoothie that I had to chew between each sip. I could only drink half of it.
3) Kale-​Blueberry-​Banana: I’ve had smoothies like this in the past, and usually the sweetness of the fruit and creaminess of the yogurt is able to balance out the bitterness of the kale. But not so in this case. I don’t know if the kale they used was particularly bitter, but it certainly wasn’t blended well enough, and there were little pieces of kale visibly floating around in the cup. It tasted like drinking a poorly blended Caesar salad. My brother could only take a few sips before giving up.
So, only 1 out of 3 smoothies were drinkable, hence the ²⁄₅ star review.

I’ve gotten both salads and wraps from Sano Salad, and I’ve never been disappointed. Everything is very fresh and tastes amazing. The Cobb and the Mexican are two of my favorites, in either the salad or the wrap form.
They also have the friendliest, kindest staff ever. Honestly the staff are part of the reason we come back so often.
Everything is very clean and the restaurant itself is cute and cozy.

Great little spot for a delicious salad and wrap. Also the staff was super friendly! I would come here again!

Great menu choices. Disappointing salad.
If you just had your wisdom teeth out, get a salad here.

Another killer blueberry flax smoothie! I love this place.
Feel like a million bucks every time I eat healthy.

Delicious and super fresh. Very friendly staff. Monday’s get a free coffee with salad or wrap. The Hungarian mushroom soup was terrific! Awesome smoothies. Monroe needed a place like this.

I got the Cobb salad and it was amazing!!! The whole one was two meals it was amazing

Terrific new salad place. Three visits thus far. Nice friendly people, fresh food. Prepared with care.

So happy to have found this great spot! Very cute, love the exposed brick, so happy not to have TVs blaring at me. This is a place you can hang & chat or have a relaxed business meeting. Yummy, creative salads and other healthy food at this comfortable & clean family-​owned business. Yay!

Cute, little sandwich shop with plenty of choices including gluten free options.
Friendly staff as well. Not great for a large group due to limited seating but could work as a grab and go.

Great sandwiches and salads. Not the most comfortable place to sit. They need to revamp their coffee area and label things better, I used the only large milk pitcher thinking it was regular milk and it was almond milk. Good thing I’m not allergic to nuts. Other then that the staff is friendly and the food is great.

Great eclectic, menu of sandwiches and homemade soup — albeit a touch pricey. Great curb appeal, appointed luncheonette interior and superbly friendly staff.
Fantastic lunch spot!

Love the food. It’s all fresh, healthy, and guilt free. The drink selection is a little slim, but everything being made fresh makes up for it.

A welcome addition to Monroe’s dining options.
Sanos offers a great selection of salads, wraps and smoothies in a clean, quaint storefront with a polite and attentive staff.
There are no fewer than 18 salad/​wrap options on the menu, or you can choose to craft your own by picking your favorite type of lettuce, vegetables, meat, cheese, crunch and fruit. There are 9 dressings to choose from, so the variations are many.
I went with the Cobb, replaced the blue cheese with Parmesan and swapped out the red wine vinaigrette for a chipotle ranch. Great taste and large enough to be a meal.
For a smoothie, I went with the Blackberry Cinnamon. You have three choices for the «base» of your smoothie: low fat vanilla yogurt, low fat milk, or almond milk. I chose the yogurt, and it ended up too thick for my tastes. I had a taste of the strawberry banana made with low fat milk and it was excellent. I will likely go with one of the other two bases next time. The size is a bit small for the price.
I will definitely be back to sample more selections of both the food and the smoothies.

Wonderful tasty fresh salads. Warm, inviting atmosphere. Very reasonably priced.
