Homegrown Kitchen is a wonderful place in East Aurora to grab a bite to eat. Everything is high quality and extremely fresh. Beautiful relaxing atmosphere with wonderful service!
Let me tell you, this place is great. Specifically, when my food is supposed to be warm/hot, I like it warm/hot. Now, naturally, when you pick up that can be hit or miss. That's why I love this place. My wife just picked up an order and the employee waited until she arrived before pressing my panini. When she came home and told me, I was thrilled. The only thing that topped it was the meal itself. It was delicious!
Edited again on 9/29/22. It's 5:30 pm. Found a large clump of hair and lint in my salad. It's literally not a single hair this time. It's a clump of hair with lint in it. This is the grossest thing I've ever encountered in food. And this is the fourth time I've ever found hair in my food here. The place got better with hygiene for awhile or so it seemed, so I kept coming back. Not doing it anymore. I won't be back until you start requiring your employees to wear hair nets and practice better hygiene. Really, really gross. I come here often, too, so you're definitely losing a weekly (or more) customer. See photos.
(The response from the owner is from one of the PREVIOUS times I found hair in my food, when she apologized and I was understanding. It is not from this most recent time when I found a clump of hair and lint in my salad. No one responded to that).
Original post: I love the food and pick up food from here a couple times a week, but I just found a super long hair in my salad. This is legitimately the third time this has happened to me with this place. I keep going back because the food is fresh and healthy, but this is getting ridiculous and I may need to find a new place. With the prices this place charges, I think good hygiene isn't too much to ask.
Really great selection, fresh and healthy ingredients, and delicious dressings! This place was the perfect spot for lunch. The inside was spacious and clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We also loved the smoothies! Would definitely stop here again.
The Besto' Pesto salad I had was phenomenal! I LOVE basil, and I love pesto. This was a home run for me. My first time there today, and I will definitely be back again. They will customize your salad however you want. I also had the Protein PB&J smoothie, and that was delicious!!
