OUR STORY

Fifteen years ago, husband and wife duo, Brooke and Chad Knudson, launched d’Lite Healthy On The Go with one goal: create a quick-service restaurant that provides high-quality, nutritious eating in a convenient format, while creating a welcoming environment for guests to achieve healthier diets and lifestyle choices with ease.

The idea began around a dining table in 2007. Eating out at traditional restaurants left the them lethargic with stomach aches or worse. They identified that low quality products, hidden ingredients, imbalance of calories and chemically made products contributed to these negative impacts in the body. The quick-service restaurant sector also lacked concepts that offer healthy meals without sacrificing price or convenience. So, they decided to use their nutrition and business experience, determination and work ethic to provide a better option for consumers by forging a new path in the quick-service dining category.

Today, d’Lite is a health-conscious kitchen and coffee house with a mission to make everyday healthy eating accessible. To us, our daily decisions about what we eat, where it comes from and how it’s produced have long-term effects on our overall health and wellbeing.

Occupying a thriving niche restaurant category, d’Lite offers healthy alternatives that are not currently widely-available to consumers in a quick-service format. With a diverse, customizable menu of sandwiches, wraps, salads, bowls, burgers, smoothies and handcrafted coffees & teas, served in a fun and lively environment, d’Lite caters to every type of consumer. With health-forward food options designed to meet any dietary preference, we provide our guests with nourishing alternatives to fast food without sacrificing taste or convenience.

Amazing gluten free options. The California club on gf tortilla is my favorite! Also love the AZ burro. Great coffee too

This place has quickly become my go-to for tasty and healthy breakfast/brunch food! I’ve never eaten in the restaurant, but we’ve used the drive thru and ordered through DoorDash many times. They’ve never made a single mistake on any of our orders and I have yet to taste an item that I don’t like. The bagels are so perfectly baked, the soups with bread always hit the spot, and the iced cactus tea with stevia added is my new favorite drink. The California Club breakfast sandwich is the best when you’re looking for something a little bit more substantial but still fresh and nutritionally dense. I wish I could eat here every day!

Phenomenal, healthy breakfasts and lunches here. I really love the "Breakfast Buzz" smoothie. The California Club is also pretty dang delicious. The staff here is super friendly as well. A true testament to the D'Lite brand! If you're looking for yummy grub, this is the place.

Hit the spot!!! Needed a quick bite but wanted a healthier option. Got the veggie d’Lite sandwich (so good!) and the green lemonade smoothie (even better!). The cashier was kind and let me know ahead of time the smoothie had a strong ginger flavor - which I appreciated. Wish I had more time to sit and grab a specialty coffee - loved the board game area and the cozy spots to read and work in.

This is my go to breakfast spot when I’m in a rush. I always order the Breakfast Buzz which is a shake consisting of chocolate, peanut butter, bananas, espresso, protein powder, and milk blended up with ice. I don’t always have time to cook up a breakfast and I get this shake as a healthy alternative. It is very delicious and addictive. I highly recommend you get it.
