Sweetgreen arrives at Westfield
Another day, another salad shop. This time it’s Sweetgreen, opening up at the revamped Westfield Century City today. The restaurant is located on the first floor near the Apple store, and features some 2,700 square feet of indoor-outdoor space. There’s a patio up front, long ordering counter, and those all-too-familiar blonde wood accents. Expect room for grab-and-go food and art from local artist Mary Matson. Daily hours run from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; expect this Sweetgreen to stay busy.
