Buffalo chicken soup was hotter than the sun. Tasty though.Mac and cheese was fine.Garlic knots with marinara were fine.Free breads were stale.

Kathy B.

The variety was exciting and the soups we had and took home were delicious!

Should be renamed "We Just Ran Out!". Otherwise, when you can get something on the menu, its usually really good!

Betsy W.

Been there twice and soups are wonderful especially with the side of bread. Took each of the containers hone and the soups were at the right temp. Gotta try the sandwiches next time.

Jackie C.

My first time here after hearing so much about it from others and there were surprisingly large selection of soup. I got the Irish stew that had ground lamb with potatoes and veggies and it was yummy!

Brenda S.

Fantastic soups, stews, loved the garlic knots!

This Mac n Cheese with pull pork SLAPSHonestly, that cheese was an even consistency and very much complimented the pulled pork perfectly. Highly recommend...

Excellent gourmet soup at a great location!

Priscilla T.

The best soup ever. And the lady who serves it is So nice. And she’s classy too!

Dave M.

I find that the soups are exceptional and there is always an option that I like. Red potato, roasted corn and chorizo is my personal favorite. Staff is personable and always looking to make sure the order is right. Have had an opportunity or two with online ordering, but having the option to schedule pick up and the willingness to make the order right more than makes up for an occasional issue.

Highly recommend

Very good quality soups and cakes. A must try soup in area

Rene B.

Four stars because the soups are very tasty and the service is very nice! However, they usually have issues with the POS and you'll end up paying with cash. And they run out of soup around 1 pm, so you must go early or you won't find soup.

This place truly is great. They offer several daily soups plus the common regular ones like "Doc in a Crock a.k.a. (a chicken soup variety). The staff are patient even though there's usually always a line of hungry folk. Their system is great, the cook brings out refills of soup when close to empty, the lady in front gets your soups and breads and the cashier (also very patient and friendly) will ring you up, and bag your items. Not to mention the quality is there in their soups so yes, 5* from me!

Cheryl Patrick Van A.

If soup is what you want? Don't go anywhere else! Always several amazing options, in many styles (creamy, brothy, spicy, traditional, funky) and with many health options (vegetarian, vegan, etc) Each bowl comes with a piece of one of their many delicious breads. Perfect solution for a cold day!

Come here for lunch occasionally - I always enjoy the wide variety of unique soups they have to offer and I have enjoyed all that I've tried. I usually get a salad also, these are pre made but have always been very fresh. Staff are very friendly and will offer samples of soups so you can find one you like.

Matt J.

Love this place for lunch, especially in the fall/winter. Soups are all good and come with fresh bread. Get there early if there is a specific soup you want...

People complaining about not being able to find this place - Pease Authority will not allow signs out front to promote businesses so you have to actually go...
