Packed calendar today? If you're near our Costa Mesa location on Anton Blvd, our grab-and-go fridge is stocked with clean fuel for the workday.

Case in point: the Chicken Caesar Wrap. Grilled chicken, pickled zucchini, jicama, and house avocado dressing. It’s entirely gluten-free and seed-oil-free, built to get you through back-to-back meetings without the 2 PM crash.

Swing by, grab a box, and get right back to it.

Setting the baseline for June lunches. If you're looking to lock in a clean routine this month, this is the line-up.

Everything on the table is entirely gluten-free and seed-oil-free, so you get a heavy, filling meal without the afternoon food coma:

🌰 Yosemite Salad (Top Left): Arugula, dried fruit, and a crisp mix of roasted almonds, cashews, and pecans.

🥓 BLAT Salad (Top Right): Thick-cut braised bacon, avocado, fresh cilantro, and house-pickled zucchini over mixed greens.

🥑 Jicama Caesar Salad (Bottom Right): Crisp jicama, toasted pepitas, arugula, and napa cabbage with our house avocado dressing.

👩‍🌾 Ecology Center Chop Salad (Bottom Left): Loaded with locally sourced farm veggies—including fingerling potatoes, crisp green beans, and summer squash.

Swing by the patio in Costa Mesa or order up at the SJC counter for lunch, or tap the link in our bio to order ahead for a fast pickup.
