This was my first time at Sano Cafe and I was more than impressed! The staff was very friendly and attentive. Heather was very helpful! She pointed out some of the more popular menu items, as well as some of the specials. I had the Pesto Avocado Toast and it was amazing! Highly recommend this place!

Thrilled to have discovered this place. Fresh and healthy and flavorful and a cute patio along the sidewalk. Felt like I was back home in the Bay Area. Enjoyed the Buddha bowl and a Tropical Beauty smoothie. Given that there are a lot of ingredients and the dishes are prepared fresh, I wasn’t surprised it took a little time to prepare.

This is a small clean health food Café that has your health food, standards and meals to dine in or to go. It’s a bit difficult because right next-door is a bakery with things filled with butter, but you can feel the health right when you walk through here

Sano is my go-to if I want a healthy “fast food” option. Hands down, the hummus toast never disappoints, but every now and then I’ll try their special toasts not on the regular menu. The whipped goat cheese toast with beet chili jam was soooo good. I highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a healthy smoothie or a bite to eat.

Iv been going to the Mercer island location for years when I needed my açaí fix! I deff don’t think they are up-to my standers hence I lived in Hawaii && nothing can beat those bowls! But Mercer island location always held me over until I went back to visit! As Iv moved back home! I feel the granola is just not enough and on one of the bowls they say mango, but don’t mention it’s blended in. I do love their salads and smoothies everything is so organic and fresh appreciate them expanding still prefer the one a little far there for the atmosphere! But excited about being closer to where I walk regularly! Staff were friendly ! OH MY GOD THEY DON’T HAVE HOT SAUCE!!!

The food is yummy. Typically no issues there. They do an amazing avocado toast that I feel ok spending my millennial $ on. However they are quite expensive and the service is insanely slooooowwwwwww. Do not go here if you don't have 15 minutes to wait for a smoothie during a slow time. They certainly move with... deliberation. It's painful. But there are no other smoothie options on the island. And the toast is good.

most things are very tasty but DO NOT GET the green machine or tropical beauty smoothies. They taste very weird. Not sure if it's an issue of ingredient cohesion but they both taste off. Upsetting because the green smoothie bowl is very good but neither of these two green smoothies tasted right. However! Its not the worst flavor ever and you can kinda get used to it after a while.
