Genuine Goodness - Orinda

Fresh, seasonal and delicious Every day there is another menu. Always a few salads, a homemade soup, a Bento (combination) box. The weekly menu will be published every Monday on Instagram @genuine_goodness

I've been here 5 times or so, and honestly I am already planning which day I'm going to come back. Their changing menu is diverse enough that there is always something that looks good no matter the day. I've had their taco salad (multiple times), a pineapple curry chicken rice bowl, smoothie, and today a tuna sandwich each time the food is really good. It's also one of the few places around that you can eat a healthy lunch for cheap. And to top it off all the employees are friendly and patient.

I was amazed at the variety of options available for lunch in such a small place. They have around six standard sandwiches, and two sandwich specials each day, which come with fruit and salad. Or you can have soup. Or salads. Or smoothies. I had a sandwich special (my first-ever tuna melt, which I enjoyed). For dessert, a brownie caught my eye. When I asked about it, I was told it was gluten free, but I knew I had to have it when I was told it had raspberries. It was DELICIOUS! I plan on dropping in whenever I'm in Orinda.

Fantastic home cooked, healthy soups, salads, fresh made bread, sandwiches, and smoothies!

Great salad, sweet place to sit and eat. Very nice owner. British import food available for purchase.
