  • Don’t worry, it’s not the Mandela affect. Before 2024, we went by Avocaderia, a Spanglish word to capture our original concept — the world’s first avocado bar!

    We still celebrate all that’s great about avocados, but we've done some growing up since then. Avo has become a place to customize your dream bowl, celebrate seasonal produce, and share a meal with pals. It's an easy go-to for simple, everyday food, with an easy and simple name to match.

    During this transition, we’ve been giving special thought to one of our core values: comfort.

    As we evolve, how can we create spaces, food, and a brand identity that truly inspire comfort? To us, it means putting community feedback at the helm of our decision making. From acting on requests for new menu items to reflecting more deeply on what it means to be as inclusive with our language as we are with our menu, becoming Avo is a new way for us to create comfort beyond the bowl.


    Don't get it twisted: avocados are still (one of) our favorite fruits, and they're not going anywhere. But we're in our avo era!

  • Very. Our menu features dishes everyone knows and loves, reinterpreted with an eye towards health, vibrant color, and extra satisfying flavors. Our generous portions are high-protein, nutrient-dense, and customizable for every palate.

  • Absolutely. In addition to our dedicated vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, and nut-free offerings, you can always customize our dishes to suit your dietary needs.

    While our team is trained to be mindful of allergens, please be aware that our food is prepared in a kitchen that processes nuts, soy, wheat, milk and eggs, and as a result we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.

  • SALADS AND BOWLS:

    The majority of our salads bowls are naturally gluten free — the only gluten-containing topping is our rosemary croutons. Feel free to request that they be left off.

    AVOCADO TOASTS:

    Our buns and toasts come on Balthazar bakery bread, which DOES contain gluten. Feel free to request any of our breakfast items plate-style, without the bun or bread.

    SMOOTHIES:

    All of our smoothies are naturally gluten free and vegan.

    SIDES:

    All of our sides are gluten free, including our housemade guac & hummus, tortilla chips, seasonal soup, and terra chips.

  • While we aren’t quite 100% organic, we’re committed to using organic, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. All of our dishes are designed to optimize both nutrition and taste: our food is never frozen, and contains no saturated animal fats, cholesterol, added preservatives and/or artificial flavors. Check out our menu page to see our full range of ingredients.

  • Our hass avocados come from Michoacan, Mexico, where half of the world avocado production happens! Thanks to its rainy climate, Michoacan avocados thrive year round, making them the sustainable choice.

    For our other ingredients, we work with BaldorFood, a wholesale distributor with a focus on local and sustainable produce. Their “farm to fork” guarantee means that they oversee every single aspect of the food supply chain before it arrives to our kitchens.

  • We only use top-quality Freebird chicken in our dishes. Never injected with hormones or antibiotics, and vegetarian fed. For more information, click here.
