Salata began in 2018 with a simple belief: that the food we eat shapes the lives we live. What started as a small farmers market stand has grown into a movement—proving that healthy eating doesn't have to mean sacrificing flavor, convenience, or joy.
Our founders, Maya Chen and James Rivera, were frustrated by the lack of truly transparent, delicious, and accessible healthy food options. They envisioned a place where every bowl tells a story—of local farmers, sustainable practices, and the communities we serve.
"Cultivating healthy communities one bowl at a time."
We know where every ingredient comes from. Our partnerships with 40+ local farms ensure freshness and support our community.
From local hiring to neighborhood partnerships, we're committed to strengthening the communities that feed our growth.
Our culinary team experiments with seasonal ingredients and global flavors to keep your experience fresh and exciting.
Started as a single farmers market stand in Austin, TX. Our first salad bowl was a hit—selling out in just two hours.
Opened our flagship location in downtown Austin. The line wrapped around the block on opening day.
Introduced the Seeds loyalty program, growing our community to over 100,000 members.
Now serving 25+ cities across the US with a commitment to maintain our local farm partnerships everywhere we go.
