Good healthy lunch option if you order the right things. Grain bowls (pico kale) are super filling and nutritious for a low cost.

I eat lunch here everytime I am in Oakland. The seasonal salads never disappoint. The ingredients are fresh, locally grown, I like that they will toss my salad.

Grabbed a quick bite before my real estate test and happy that I did. I had a half a tuna fish sandwich and a cup of water for lunch. Served its purpose and value. No complaints.

Many great options of salads, grain bowls, soups, and sandwiches. Variety of portions to choose from - and the grain bowls are a great value! They ask you if you want light, medium, or heavy dressing on your salads which I really appreciate. Plus a free side of fresh bread! This is my go-to lunch spot.

Great selections of soup and salad. I paired my meal for about $10 which a perfect amount. The soup was delicious and the kale salad was just that. Plenty of seating and the area was clean. I will be back.

I ordered the chicken noodle and tomato soup to be delivered. The soup was very good, but the bread was NOT sour dough as expected, it was a cut in half hoagie roll...yuk! This was a HUGE disappointment as I only eat sourdough or dark rye bread. Esp in the bay area where Sourdough is the go to. You need to serve what you say you have. This kind of stuff drives me crazy. It is as if the customer is not going to know...not good!

Great soups and salads! Love the make your own salad. Extremely filling! Soups are flavorful and they have unique special offerings. Make your own can be a little pricey but I treat myself ever so!😋

Oakland city center location. Really good food. Pro health choice for a lunch or brunch. A soup and sandwich is my choice. But on a cold windy day. I get a full serving of their soup. This place is clean and the seating area is plenty most of the time. Cater to lunch hours of the business area M-F.

They forgot the sourdough. I only like the soup with the bread. They also forgot the cookie, but remembered to charge for it. I’ve had several issues like this, but assumed I was ordering during busy times & staff were just overwhelmed. But I’ve ordered enough at different times that it’s clear the issue is the location & staff, not crowds. The good news is that they’ve just broken me of my ordering out habit & sent me back to my kitchen.

I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and I got tomato soup with chicken chunks. No tortillas or chips, and definitely not what they described with the garnishes. I wanted this to be my new healthy lunch spot but they failed at owning up to what they say they are serving.

The soup was okay but not great (split pea). As someone with a visual impairment, I was put off by the absence of any printed menus. I was unable to read the detailed menu up on the wall. I did ask and was offered a catering menu, which wasn't what I was looking for. Maybe if I'd been able to read the menu, I would have been able to make a selection I would have enjoyed more.

The chicken you receive in your salad is 4 pieces. No butter for bread. Profitablly is high.

$7 for a small soup, no bread, and their chili is basically puréed. Their food is under seasoned and oversalted. It is a terrible product served to a captive audience at lunch hour. Embarrassing.

I would not recommend this spot. I'm not sure if they are not washing their vegetables well enough or what, but I've spent an afternoon in in the bathroom after getting a salad from here. ☹️ I've had soups from here before and they are decent, served with a nice sourdough slice.

Everything you would want on a salad is additional charge. SO, I got up-sold to make the salad good. Ingredients didn't even look very fresh. Meh. I paid $21 for a soup and salad. I will not be coming back.

Got the Sonoma chicken salad There was no chicken in the salad at all Time I got to my desk and noticed my lunch was over. So disappointed

The chicken tortilla soup is awful. I can't believe I paid 7.00 for something that tastes nothing like chicken tortilla. The San Francisco soup company was so much better. I noticed that the salads are tiny now as well. The size of the regular soup bowl is smaller n size but costs more? I won't bother going back. I want to add the soup left a strange after taste in my mouth.

Do not waste your money here at all. I just spent $17 dollars on a salad that had only 4 small dices of chicken. The soup itself was just milk and salt. There are better places near here, subway might even be better than this establishment. The inside of the restaurant is so outdated and the food is poor quality so how are they justifying the prices. Twelve dollars maybe but seventeen dollars you’re basically saying “we don’t care, they’ll pay anyway” Please folks trust me its not worth your money. The team was nice though.

I love this place, I thought that I would eat there everyday, until my Latino friend moved. I went in there alone and the service was terrible. It was as if they wanted me to leave. I left and the Asian woman behind me left, they were rude. a Latino came in and two people rushed to help her, and the Asian woman and myself just looked at each other and left. Now I know why the store on Clay street in Oakland is always empty. I know that I will never go in there again, at least not in the Latino store in Oakland, CA.
