The Lettuce Inn

Specialties

The Lettuce Inn serves healthy salads, which are huge and tasty. You can choose from a variety of salads and sandwiches. We also serve any of our salads or sandwiches in spinach tortilla wrap. Soups and chili will be our winter special.

The Lettuce Inn was founded by salad aficionado Karen Bell with the aim of sharing health and happiness through the food. The Lettuce Inn has inspired people to work healthy meals into their day, with delicious salads, sandwiches, wraps, raw vegans items, soups and even healthy pies and desserts! Our food is comprised of many of the superfoods so essential to good health. We use farm fresh non-​GMO, organic ingredients. We are known for our commitment to providing vegan and raw-​vegan options.

We are proud to be a part of Concord’s Todos Santos Plaza Business Community!

History

Established in 2011.

When we chose the name, «Lettuce In» for our shop, we thought we had the perfect one. We have been using the name since September of 2011. A multi-​million dollar corporation headquartered in Chicago, has the trademark on the word «Lettuce» used as a pun. We were not aware of their trademark when we selected our name, and although we are in no way a threat to this corporation, they have insisted that we cease and desist from calling our shop «Lettuce In». Thus, as of May 5, 2015 we will now be know as «The Lettuce Inn». We are now using the word Lettuce as a noun. With our name change you can expect to see other changes, such as a small gift store, nutrition classes, and prepared family vegan take home meals.

You can expect to continue to receive high quality healthy food when you visit our shop. That will not change and is our top priority.

Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

My name is Karen Bell, owner and Head Salad Maker, of The Lettuce Inn, located at 1924 Grant Street on the Todos Santos Plaza. My team and I opened our doors on Monday, August 29, 2011. We are exciting about what we can offer to the Concord community and welcome feedback from our guests, in order to design a nourishing menu.

This is a new and exciting adventure for me. I have been an educator since 1983. In 1989, along with three other women, I opened a private non-​profit school in Oakland, which served students who would not normally have the opportunity for a private education. The school was my first dream. After 23 years of a successful run, the school was on solid ground and I felt the need to realize another childhood dream of opening a salad shop in order to share my love of healthy eating – thus Lettuce In.

You may remember the old knock-​knock jokes we all told as kids. Well, my favorite was «Knock-​knock. Who’s there? Lettuce. Lettuce who? Lettuce in it’s cold outside!»
