The food just real good there, and the staff is nice too. It's the perfect place to go when you and your friends really don't know what y'all want to eat.

This PARTICULAR Create is ALRIGHT.... There's another one that's DOPE by ASTORIA BLVD train station I'm not sure of the address because I'm not from Queens but it's definitely better than this one. Look I like the fact that they're healthy and give you good options of healthy foods to pick from. You get a wide variety and not every food place has that in this area. Step your salad game up 😁 go to Create

Hot, fresh, healthy food with great variety. Consistently good. Friendly people. Clean place to eat. Overall great place to eat.

I love this place. Healthy food at fair prices. If you have picky people in your crew they will find something to eat.

Great salads and bowls😁 Fresh juices and smoothies as well

Great place for fresh, feel good food. I come here regularly for the acai bowls and juices but haven't tried something i dont like yet. There's another location on Ditmars too.

Salds, Wraps, Paninis, Rice Bowls, Vegetarian, or if not its an awesome spot for lunch. Great quality food with great flavors. All natural organic and healthy is on the menu. Great!!

I love this place!! My experience today wasn’t good at all. I almost left my salad behind.... When that Greek Big Guy is missing from the restaurant, which is probably the Owner the shop isn’t working properly. The food is nothing compared to what I get when “The Greek”is working. So please “Greek” don’t leave us on misery, stay there, because it seems you are the heart of the place.

This is the perfect place for New Yorkers who like to have it their way. Had a Turkey burger on greens with the really yummy chipotle mayo on the side. The patty was homemade and flavorful from the fresh ingredients mixed in. Very satisfied. Good prices too.

Come by almost everyday. Love the food, love the spot, love the employees. But here's a warning: no matter what the stated hours are, they close 30 minutes early. Doesn't matter if they are "open" until 4, 8, or 9, you better be there before 3:30, 7:30, or 8:30 or you will be turned away. I don't know why they don't just set the hours to that and actually follow thru, but whatever. I try to come as late as possible because I eat late and have been turned away after walking 15-40 minutes about a dozen times even tho I have never been there within 20 minutes of closing

Oh sooo good and fresh, I was quite surprised as I love to eat and I do not discriminate when it comes to food I love it all. So when I agree to try all healthy it has to be worth it. I was definitely not disappointed. The food was delicious and filling, I even had left overs to eat while I watched dead pool 2

I liked Create. I just stopped in for some coffee to go with my lunch, so I can't comment on the food (though it was lovely, from what I saw and smelled). In any case, I quite enjoyed the restaurant's vibe, with its relatively big dining room (and actual, sit-down tables). Likewise, the baristas were fast and friendly while hooking me up with my coffee, said coffee was delicious, and the place was clean and comfortable (and it had a bathroom!). No problems here, and I'd happily return. Much thanks to everyone at this business. Keep up the good work :)

The best food in Astoria!! & healthy ;)

I really enjoy getting food from this place. Sometimes breakfast, sometimes lunch- and always good. Very consistent with food quality & preparation. Fresh food at a decent price.

Tax included 12.95 for the large crear your own salad Base plus 1 protein and 6 toppings Avocado 🥑 can be a topping, no extra charge Repeat toppings allowed so I usually do 2 croutons 2 Romano cheese 2 avocado They toss it for you so I don't have the shake the bowl amd get sauce everywhere They have a variety of other foods but I love their salad bar Fresh flavorful and reasonably priced 👍

5 de mayo (grilled chicken on a spinach wrap is soooooo good!! Must try it! (This was 5months ago) This week my bestfriend went to get the office's lunch bc we can't all leave for our break. She ordered 4 things and a male from there asked her who was eating all of this(btw she's overweight).Who cares who is eating it or who isn't it's none of his damn business .That question was uncalled for and since she is so nice she didn't even respond because I'm sure if it was me I would of been speechless too and in disbelief.I think that was very disrespectful! I think this is the last time I'll be ordering from them if they don't know how to treat their customers!!!!!!

Only been here once. Had the Turbo omelet. No potatoes, no toast. It was delicious. A good breakfast spot and I'll be back again.... if I can find parking.

Excellent food, great selection, trendy decor, huge portion sizes, good value

Absolutely amazing! I’ve never been to anywhere with such a well stocked salad bar - they have every ingredient you could want. So many options to choose from - juice, açaí bowls, smoothies, salads, sandwiches, yogurt bowls, breakfast and lunch. The bagatta the sandwiches come on is probably the best bread I’ve had. 10/10, will be back! We got the Greenwich Village and the Mile High - highly recommend.

the food is fresh and taste good and the crew is friendly

Picture what u wish panera and subway could potentially be plus the wholefoods eatery variety . Wow whata gem! The food is DELICIOUS and the customer service is good n fast. Everything looks fresh fresh fresh! I literally had the nest split pea soup of my life. Everything else was great. If I gotta say something about could be the menu is a bit too long but I’d still give it 6 stars if I could.

What a great place! Every ingredient was super fresh and there were so many choices. The salad guy put so much love and pride into making our salads. Definitely my new favorite place.

Stuart Davis

My wife loves this place so we got delivery tonight. I got the Mexican salmon bowl which was weird but good. The five stars come from the split pea soup and chicken orzo. Both were incredible. So I give this place five stars for the soup

Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren

I run the Christmas tree stand in front of the CVS, when I’m in need of a good soup and sandwich This is the spot! The guys are always welcoming! Carmen - I believe that her name, who works at the cash, always greets you with a smile. You get family vibes when you get in! I usually get the BLT but all there sandwiches are top notch and the smoothies are amazing. my favourite is the cosmo

Georgie Vargas

Great wraps, sandwiches, salads, & juices ! My favorite wrap is the cinco de mayo, filled with so much flavor and love ! Very friendly staff as well willing to get creative for you !

Andrés Berl

Good sandwich shop, delicious, very clean, with enough seating

mina

overall this is a great spot! they have a variety of healthy menu items but i usually go for the salad bar or creating my own sandwich. however, i will say though that the grilled chicken is almost always extremely dry.

Angel Gaguancela

Very cozy, staff is nice, amazing food, quick service 😋 recommend the pancakes very fluffy and soft

Steven Serrato

I got a steak sandwich with the buffalo fries and babyyyyy FIRE! So good the bread so fresh and the fries had layers of cheese between so every bite was a combo of ingredients! Here’s a photo but it was so good it’s almost all ate! 😂

Daniel Donnelly

Tasty sandwiches, fresh salads, rice bowls. Plenty of seating space. Pleasant staff. Overall a good joint!

J C

My second time back here and this is def my spot in Queens. I love the create your own salads & my dad loves the soups & sandwiches. Food is fresh, order is fast & prices are great! EAT HERE!!!!!

Miguel Caamano

Best sandwich makers in all of queens, possibly nyc They have all the ingredients to have basically anything you want from sandwich to wrap, but they’re all so good and the smoothies too. Don’t miss out

Andi

If you like healthy, well prepared and nice dine in place, this place is for you. With a wide options you can choose between fresh squeezed juice, acai bowls or meat with 3 sides for a price of 13.5$. Amazing!

This will be based off of the soups & wraps, and one bagel. I have yet to try anything else because I just get overwhelmed with the choices and go with soup. I mean, I love soup. So I'm not mad at my choices. Theyll have different soups available each day, Fridays they have cajun shrimp. If you can tolerate some spicy, go for it. It's pretty good, and if you're nice when asking for a sample maybe they throw in a shrimp for you to taste. I personally can't tolerate spicy (my type of spicy is Taco Bell mild sauce, that's as spicy as I'll go)-- but if you can tolerate it, Fridays are for you buddy. Their chicken noodle soup tastes really good too, it doesnt taste like Progresso chicken noodle. I actually expected a canned soup taste but was surprised with the homemade taste instead. The chicken pieces are tender & flavorful, not bland tasteless chunks of mystery meat. The veggie chili soup isn't really a soup, it's more of a chili consistency. Tastes great when you ask them to put some shredded cheddar cheese on top. The cream of mushroom is another one I wouldn't mind getting. It doesnt have that 'straight out of a can' type of texture--you know what I'm talkin' about, the gelatinous, salty, weird chunky taste. No, no, this soup is actual soup consistency & has tiny pieces of mushroom in it, too. The lemon orzo soup is another one of my favorites. So lemony, and packs a punch of flavor besides the lemon, and it doesn't get boring. Each soup you get comes with bread, if you'd like bread along with it. White or whole grain. Or sub it for crackers. Whatever tickles your fancy. I'm sure I've sampled other soups (you may ask for a sample taste of the soup to see if you'd like it) but none struck gold like the ones I've mentioned. The wraps & bagel were okay, nothing mind blowing. I mean, it's a bagel & a wrap. How does one mess that up? They were good, a tad pricey but is it worth it? Sure, you can customize your bagel or wrap however you want. Sub a cheese for a different type of cheese, or sub a meat for a different type of meat. You do you, boo. You're the one eating it.

Probably one of the best breakfast places in Astoria. Food is fresh and tastes great. They have a great selection of different style pancakes and French toast. I highly recommend the Caribbean French toast if your in the mood for coconut and pineapple. I'd also recommend the Nutella pancakes because you can't go wrong with Nutella.

I mostly go for smoothies and acai bowls. Sandwiches I think are light on the filling. Burgers and rice bowls are not though. Oatmeal and yogurt are good. See a lot of people getting salads which look large with lots of mix-ins.

The burgers are really good and the chicken soup was above par. A quinoa bowl with salmon my wife ordered was very good also. No complaints here.

I've placed several online orders, so far so good. BECs are pretty good for a non-bagel store, albeit on the expensive side. $6.59 ish for one. I believe Brooklyn Bagels is a bit cheaper.

Create is great for its variety of healthy options. I usually get one of the healthy grain bowls: Farro, Quinoa, or Brown Rice (pro tip: Farro and quinoa blow brown rice out of the water, healthwise). They also have pretty good salads and the ability to pick everything that goes into it. They also have tasty smoothies, and even sandwiches, burgers, omelets, and waffles (haven't had those before). All in all, a good place to go healthy without sacrificing much flavor.

Great yogurt bowls. It's clean and efficient. Prices are on par with what you'd pay at a salad/smoothie/sandwich bar like this. Can't complain.

The food here is delicious and I have never had a complaint about the quality. Everything is very clean and organized. Options vary, with menu items for anyone. That includes vegans, carnivores, omnivores and vegetarians. Create makes organic juices, burgers, bowls, salads, coffee and more. It's a great place for lunch, and very filling, a lot of bang for your buck. My only complaint is it is somewhat confusing to order and pay as you have to go right to the chefs to order, then walk to the other side of the store to pay. And the chefs need a lot of repeating to get your order right.

Came here and created our own salad. I don't remember all the ingredients but we had salmon in it. The salmon was definitely over cooked and dry but you would expect that from a place like this. The smoothies were not as expected. They literally just blend up whatever you order into a drink/smoothie and they don't add anything to it. If you were expecting something sweet, think again. If you know what is in season you'll be able to make a nice drink/smoothie. Overall the people were nice and food was fresh and relatively tasty. A nice addition to the neighborhood and I would come here again.

Efficient service preparing custom-made salads and sandwiches. I love the salad bar, with its array of delicious veg (artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, spring onions, cauliflower), meat & other toppings. Sandwiches are good, too. A welcome place for a quick bite in, take-out or delivery.

Great place for a quick bite, healthy also. Enjoy.

Create is very similar to a typical salad/sandwich/soup/rice bowl place that you'd find open for lunch in Manhattan. The quality is maybe a tick above the standard place of this style. It's nice having a place like this in the neighborhood when you want something healthy and relatively inexpensive.

Excellent salad options, huge portions too. Highly recommend the Mexican Caesar salad.

Excellent healthy options! Smoothies are awesome, and the food is good. Breakfast bowl the Mexican style with quinoa and omlette were really good.

Great salad but they forgot my dressing and didn’t have all the options when I attended! Be sure to ask and make sure you everything since service is pretty quick! Also what I did not like was there was no free drink like the sign said outside! Be sure to ask and make sure before you buy if that’s what attracts you!

Healthy food options including vegan and vegetarian meals. The chicken bowl is great and they have quinoa as an option instead of rice.

If you need good food made FAST this is the place! Awesome hot and cold sandwiches - all made perfectly to order. Good selection of hot soups and fresh salads. Also juices and smoothies. Pretty good cappuccinos and coffee drinks. Over the years I've tried it all. And it's always been good. The seating area is always clean and organized. Prices are fair. And the service is always attentive and pleasant.

Lovely Salad bar, the food was good specially the chicken, I wish they had an option for me to select dressing.

Laura Alejos

The food here is amazing! My ONLY issue is that the time on google says they close at 8pm weekdays but yet there are some days that I go and it’s closed before that. That is my only issue with this place! Aside from that the food is great and so is the staff! The owner is awesome too

Sebastian Garcia

Came to this business for a nice healthy treat and was not disappointed. There were a variety of options on the menu. I was thrilled to see that a lot of the prices were also quite reasonable. The person that took my order was also really nice, the service was top notch. The only thing I would change would be around the ambiance. It was welcoming, but I wish the seating was a bit updated, along with the music playing in the background.

JJ Jones

Some of the best and healthiest food in Astoria. Their salads and sandwiches are amazing. They make great healthy fruit shakes too!

+3

Usually a go to for me but I found plastic wrap tossed in with my salad.

They always forget something from my order! I’ve gone there many times cause the açaí bowl is good but they always mess up my orders for some reason. Giving it a 3 cause it’s healthy and Tastes nice but terrible service.

The food is good I would give that a 5 but the staff that take the orders are rude. I called to place a order for pick up and was hung up on. Then called back the girl rudely picked screaming hello with an attitude as if she has repeated herself multiple times.

This place definitely has really good food and a nice staff. But they have horrible hours. Please tell me why you’re closing at 5 PM on a Tuesday? And 3 PM on a Sunday?

Just ordered the Asian salad and found black hair at the base of the salad, disgusting!! Please request your kitchen to wear a mesh hat!

Really love the food at this place. We order take out all the time. PLEASE PLEASE tell me why in the world would you close at 4pm on a Saturday out of ALL DAYS? This makes no sense.

I want to love this place, but I always find the food to be just ok. The smoothie bar is probably the best part. Their drip coffee is decent. Cold brew is excellent.

Ok, before I write a review I want to say I’ve never gotten anything bad from here in all the year I’ve ordered from them. However, my last 2 in person experiences were ridiculous and I need to record them. First, I went there 2 days ago, a Wednesday, about 30 minutes before close to order a salad, but they were out of lettuce. Ok, sure. I left annoyed, but whatever. Now, I just went in again - at 6:15 on a Friday, once again to order a salad - and they kicked me out because they were closed. Another patron and I who walked in together were both confused as the internet (& past experience) has them open until after 8pm. They have to get their act together, as they’re not the only place to get an overpriced salad or sandwich in Astoria.

Michael Angelo Castillo

Like the place. Started coming a lot recently but really don’t love that they promote that it’s cheaper to pay in cash as there is a ‘2.99% fee’ if you pay by card. I’ve paid twice in card and twice in cash and they’re both the same price and cashier didn’t bother to correct it when I’ve mentioned their sign that there’s a cash discount :/. That’s my only issue.

The market plate was not the best unfortunately..the broccoli was not charred, the cauliflower was so mushy..as well as the sweet potato..only the herbed chicken was tasty..too bad, I really wanted to like it as the staff were really nice

My Company made a large group order today 3/25/22 and I can speak for myself and the other 4 people who ordered the Shrimp rice teriyaki bowl that was supposed to have edamame. It did not have edamame but had huge pieces of raw green pepper. If it was supposed to have peppers, I would have ordered it without them. It barely had shrimp mostly rice. And there was barely any teriyaki in it. It was terrible and dry and each person that ordered it thought so as well. Very disappointed.

Went on June 5th with my 2 children. Employees weren't wearing there masks properly, by not covering nose & upper lip. Also, all the employees looked mad and the energy wasn't good. They ignored me and when they ask what I want, they told me: no chicken, no salmon, only shrimp and spicy chicken. I showed them the bowl that my friend ordered in a photo & they told me that it wasn't here. Also, I showed them photos from the reviews, they denied all, it wasn't here. After the employee touched my cellphone with his glove, he didn't change gloves & proceed to make orders. That day was hot & I had sweaty hands that touched my cellphone. 2 stars because the bowls are Big. Ended up getting a vegan bowl. A customer complained finding something in there bowl. Cashier was with a nasty attitude with customers. I saw the unsanitary of the employees, I won't go back there.

5 minutes stood there nobody else in the store completely ignored by all employees either gossiping or trying to avoid eye contact with me

The delivery drivers (motorized scooter riders) are reckless. They speed down the sidewalk, which is illegal, or they drive in the opposite direction of traffic in the bike lanes (also illegal). Businesses need to take better control over their employees.

Came here for smoothies on a hot summer day. Surprisingly disappointed at how much the yogurt was overpowering every other fruit in the smoothie. Same issue applied to the smoothie my wife got. Would not come back

I just watched the guy who rang me up and took my money with gloves on put his glove covered hand into a bin of lettuce to make someone a salad! When he took my filthy bills with his gloves on, I thought it defeated the purpose of gloves, but I didn't say anything. Then when he ran over to the salad bar and put his hand in the lettuce, I gasped. The staff all seemed confused about why I would have a problem with that! Disgusting!!! Update: I've been sitting here for a half hour watching him go back and forth between handling money and putting his hand down into the big bins of lettuce! I want to warn the people ordering salads!

I have been coming to this place for years and have always been a big fan. Tonight I walked by and saw that they were open, I later looked online to see the hours - open until 9pm. I arrived at 7:02 and was unable to order food because they said they close at 7pm. This is not the first time this happened to me. On two other occasions I have arrived around 8:45 and been denied service - they said they were closed. Disappointing to say the least.

Good food . But very disappointed when I asked about the protein smoothies. They literally put 2 spoons... yes.. they "lost" the protein scoop and replaced for a plastic spoon. For someone looking for a protein smoothie this is just false advertising.

Good food.. overpriced.. the guy charged me 5 dollars extra for little bit more checkin. Bad customer service and bad attitude toward the astorian. Basically only good first time next time they see you they treat you like you need to be there to get your food while you really dont

Your taco bowl rice only. It was putrid. gross.

Never ordering here again. Order was 50 minutes late over the delivery time, I rang the restaurant twice, was put on hold for 10 minutes, said the order never came through and tried to put it back on seamless. I rang seamless and the lovely woman told me they did receive the order, and she rang the restraint herself. Turns out they never “printed out” the ticket, so the order was never made and said I would have to wait ANOTHER 50 minutes to receive the order they forgot to do in the first place. Staff was not helpful at all. Tried to support local business and this is what you get.

I came in to try Create for breakfast. Once I reached the grill a Hispanic man with tattoos greeted me. I asked him what breakfast sandwich would he recommend and he didn’t answer my question instead he rudely said to look at the menu. When I usually try a new place I always ask for a recommendation from their employees since they know what is most popular. Unfortunately, I left without trying a breakfast sandwich because the man lacks customer service skills.

The last 5 times I've ordered (been ordering for years) they've missed the main ingredient. It's mind blowing. Then it takes them an hour to send someone, because you know the delivery guy is out delivering everything else first, before yours of course.. no common sense at all... so done with this place. Customer service at its very worst. Never again! A. Joke. Already feel better knowing that they'll never have the chance to mess my food up again. Not in my lifetime.

the past few times I ordered from create and go for my department's staff lunch has been not good. today, the icing on the cake for me to no longer order from you anymore is that on top of the food not tasting so good, you claim your delivery truck suffered a flat tire, and the way the lunch was packaged (in each individual bag) was sloppy and 4 orders were wrong, You lost my business.

19 dollars for a rice bowl with one scoop of rice, one piece of grilled chicken and a quarter of a avocado….absolute joke and a rip off.

DISGUSTING! I ordered several times via UberEats and other apps, and each time, there is a piece of plastic inside my salad (looks like from a dressing bag of some sort). I would pay for extra ingredients and they never make sure to include it or follow the instructions listed. I mean if it happens once or twice, I understand but every single time, come on. I have given up on this place and decided to support other places that makes salads for a reasonable price.

I ordered Texas Fahitas and a burger with French Fries... the food was horrible.the bun was not fresh and the burger left much to be desired ... the fahitas had so much rice in it I almost chocked on it... when it comes to food for me number one priority is the freshness.. and none of the above met criteria... very disappointed, I love their salads though. Very disappointed.

Walked in at 8pm on a weekday. The staff member behind the counter was packing up and gave me a dirty look when I approached and did not say a word. It’s fine if you want to close early, just lock the door so people do not walk in expecting service given that your hours say you’re still open.

Acai in bowl about half of what it used to be. $12.88. Very disappointed. Not again.

There was a worm/maggot in my salad. It crawled out from underneath the leaves as I was pushing the food aside.

These people are crooks. I get charged differently for the exact same thing every time I've gone in person. When I ask them about it, they have a different excuse every time. Also, if you order online the prices are more expensive for the exact same food you can get in person. Tonight I placed an order for almost $40. Received an email confirming it. 15 minutes later received another email saying my order was canceled. No explanation. Nothing. Never again.

Cyan Rios

1 star because the music is horrible Top 40 garbage that blasts right above your table. I come here to eat healthy, and the music is like junk food for your ears. I regret every time I dine in because of this, no matter how good the service is. I love the food here, it's really quality ingredients, always fresh with a quick turnaround time but because of the music in the dining area I mostly order to go or find myself not wanting to come in at all. If they could just play some instrumental or less distracting music this would have been a 5 star review.

Antonio Lyon Sponzilli

Ordered from the wrong location by accident and when i went to the right location they didnt even have the decency and/or professionalism to cancel one of the orders. They made me pay for both. Wow. Zero professionalism. Please teach customer service. Already charging premium prices at least have common sense and or decency to accommodate your customers in the slightest fashion.

Jonofui Nonya

I ordered from Uber eats a teriyaki brown rice bowl for 14$ to receive a whole bowl of rice with 4-5 little pieces of chicken. I dug around to look for more and nothing. I also got the lemonade thinking that paying $5 for it meant it was natural, def not.

Maria Zhang

The most salad bar I ordered in Astoria but I found a huge plastic wrap tossed in my salad. I need a explanation where is that from why is in my food. So disappointed.

Will Johns

Dramatically overpriced. $$$ Stereotypical juice bar. Nothing particularly special, just happens to be in a location with lots of foot traffic. (Refer to photo with receipt) A small protein drink (16 oz) on avg everywhere else is $5-$6. Here $7.59, plus I added chia seeds ($1) makes it almost $10 including tax. A large (24 oz) is 9.19 plus tax which will be over $10. A single protein drink (even if it's large) shouldn't be over $10 (the price of a full meal), for something that costs them maybe $3 to make. (And the protein drink tasted super water down !! 👎👎👎) Will not be coming back.
