Food For Thought - Garden City, New York

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Garden City!

Rating: 5/5 stars

I stumbled upon this amazing spot in the heart of Garden City, on 7th Street in Nassau County, New York, and I'm so glad I did! This place is a must-visit for foodies and health enthusiasts alike.

Whether you're in the mood for lunch, dinner, or brunch, they've got you covered. Their menu offers a wide range of options, including smoothie bowls, salads, and sandwiches. You can choose from chicken, meat, or veggie options, and they even offer large vegetable sprouts!

What impressed me most was their attention to detail. They warm up their ingredients on a small grill, and their cooler area offers a variety of bite-sized snacks, & drink , including organic power shots. Their smoothies are a must-try, with options like green, berry, and fruit, all packed with protein.

The staff is friendly and busy, but I had a chance to chat with the manager, who was super cool and welcoming. The outdoor seating area is perfect for a sunny day, and the inside is cozy and fun.

Overall, this place is a gem in the heart of Garden City. Don't miss out on the opportunity to try it out!

I met a friend here for breakfast a few weeks ago, wanted to stay clean for my new years resolution. This restaurant had a lot of healthy options, all real, whole food. It was delicious! I really enjoyed my egg white omlette. The potatoes that came on the side were seasoned and cooked really well. The portion was just right, not a giant amount, but it leaves you feeling well fed and ready for the rest of the day. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back. If I had to make one recommendation, it would be awesome to have the nutrition facts listed, at least the calories of each item, for those who are tracking. Thanks Food For Thought!

Great place for a healthy meal, I love their entire selection.
They have a new manager. She is doing an outstanding job. This review is specifically for her.
She is hands on, making sure all the customers are being helped appropriately. Very polite and accommodating with additional requests. Make a huge difference to customer experience:)

I eat here at least three times a week. The food is fresh and healthy! I live the smoothies, soups (red lentil is amazing) and the entrees, especially the salmon and blackened chicken.

Rosa is a sweetheart. If you are not certain about what you want, she makes the best suggestions!

I can always count on Food for Thought to be absolutely delicious and reliable. It’s the only place in town with a ton of vegetarian/vegan friendly options. I’ve been coming here for years and have never been disappointed, only left craving more!

The store took no reponsibility when their own delivery service failed to deliver half my lunch. They sent me through a phone tree that ended with a chat bot that told me i would get a refund in 7-12 days. A regular neighborhood shop would've sent another delivery of my order they messed up and apologized. Automation sucks!

Where to begin. I live out of town and usually visit the area twice a year. Me and my family have been coming here since before they expanded, I would save over the 7-10 years. Unfortunately the food offerings and quality have declined since they expanded. For me coming from LA it was a healthy, safe place, one i could even pick up vitamins and nutrition if needed. Over the years even their delicious staples, veggie fried rice and chkn marsala, have suffered. If i ordered veggie fried rice i would have to request less oil, b/c the cooks has transformed it into something else. Even the look of the food in the hot/cold case started looking unappetizing. I was told today that no more food will be offered in the hot counter - not sure why, but the entire flavor and feel of FFT has been lost and its a crying shame b/c it was a worthy staple and now i feel like its a hit or miss. even the "healthy" shakes are hit or miss! maybe scale back in space and overhead and get back to your winning ways b/c now it looks like you're down by 25 pts in the 4th quarter with 2:00...
