Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop
234 E. 17th Street Costa Mesa CA
Emilie Martin
Green metal chairs, concrete floors and wood beams, subway tile; Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop in Costa Mesa off of 17th street is a clear expression of California Cool. The exterior mission style of the plaza blends nicely with the agricultural theme of the interior, which is fitting since they mainly serve fresh salads.
The large chalkboard at
the register is colorful, easy to see and inviting. The reclaimed wood siding
that wraps around the entire counter creates a nice horizontal line that moves
the eye around the room.
In the main dining area,
the huge wine bottle rack hangs from the ceiling creates a dramatic focal
point. Beneath it sits a very long wooden bar height table surrounded by wood
and metal shop stools.
To complete the farm
fresh feel, the restaurant is dotted with agricultural finds like pulley light
fixtures, old water basins and large advertisements for vegetables painted on
the floor and walls along the porch. No detail was overlooked in the finishing
touches, even the salt and pepper shakers look like vintage spice cans.
Don’t let the the chalkboards,
vintage farm accents and reclaimed wood mislead you that this place has a dirty
atmosphere; the white subway tile, ample lighting and white walls keep this
salad joint feeling fresh and clean. (Although a little pricey, get the salmon
added to The Hollywood Bowl, it’s delicious!)

I'll just go for the interiors :D
I always like the ambiance of Greenleaf, especially the outside seating area. The green and white feels clean and healthy. I like how they kept the front counter/front door area so open which helps create flow between the two sides and in and out.
I love the design of this interior. it looks so organic and goes perfectly for what they want to achieve. very farm look with greens and metal.

Have not had the chance to visit this place yet but hope to soon. The like the industrial styled chairs for seating and the white walls with dark wooden beams going across the ceiling.
this is one of my favorite places to go! the layout is super fun
It's a very friendly space with reclaimed wood, cement floor and industrial style furniture. I love it.
I have never been here, but after seeing these pictures I have to go. I really like the wine rack hanging from the ceiling, it looks really cool.
