“Hot Chickpea” and “Pesto Manifesto” salads from Upbeet.
The first spot I’m hitting up is one of my favorites, UpBeet! Upbeet is my healthy, go-to spot off of Howell Mill Road in Atlanta! I like to describe it as a “healthy” version of Chipotle. Upbeet consists of two bars, one of those being a Salad/Grain bowl bar, similar to Chipotles where you can create your own bowl, in this case, a salad or a grain bowl. Upbeet has a menu with some of their suggested salads and grain bowls, but you can accommodate those, or make your own! My go-to is their Hale Ceaser salad! Other
favorites include the Spin Class and Very Vegan salads! To the left of the salad bar is the second bar, the smoothie bar. I have personally never tried the smoothies from Upbeet, but you can tell the ingredients are super fresh, just like the ones at the salad bar. And to my favorite part of this entire place, the freshly made juices! They have a variety, from kale apple ginger to charcoal lemonade, each one is absolutely delicious! It’s a self-serve machine, so I personally like to go back and try multiple ones once I finish one!

Delicious fresh juice from the self-serve machine!
The aesthetic of this place is amazing. Lots of windows, so there’s lots of sunshine seeping in on this particular sunny day, and very modern. There’s also a beautiful outdoor patio where you can eat outside!
The only downside of this place is how busy it gets. No matter if it’s lunchtime during the weekend, or dinner on a weekday, there’s always a line, but its always worth the wait! The parking lot on-site can get pretty busy on extremely busy days, being the weekends, but besides that, I trust that you will enjoy this place! There’s something for all types of diets, the food is absolutely delicious, the staff is friendly, and the vibe is incredible!
