The order was taken at the register and then brought to our table. The food tasted great and was served quickly! All the dishes had a beautiful presentation! Coffee was a French press and was really good! The place had no cream or sugar for the coffee. Also there were no salt and pepper shakers on any table. When I asked for some salt they gave me a plastic sauce cap with some salt on the bottom to take it with my fingers. It was quite weird. For some reason "Butternut Squash Bowl" had only one egg while all other breakfast items had two. Not sure why this one was special. The real problem however was the smell. The very first impression we got upon entering was a strong smell of fried bacon and other foods. It was like standing next to a stove because the space is fully open, with no divider between the sitting area and the kitchen. In such a setup you need a strong hood exhaust but that in turn would make a lot of noise. Anyway, instead of taking our time enjoying the breakfast and great coffee we had to finish it asap and escape to prevent our jackets absorbing the smell :( We are giving Liza's of Troy 4 stars is it got 5+ on the food and coffee and 3 on the interior and atmosphere. Food ordered Butternut Squash Bowl - excellent and nicely presented. Had to order additional egg though. Breakfast Bowl - excellent and nicely presented. Big Betty Breakfast Sandwich - delicious.

They don't have a paper menus or a website yet, just a Facebook page. They have a large chalkboard menu with smoothies on one side and açaí bowls on the other and add on's and other things in the middle. The first thing I noticed was the price. They're expensive with everything in the $15 range. I didn't have time to peruse the entire menu so I chose The Hazel, an açaí bowl. It was quite large and included various sliced fruit, Nutella, granola, a few coconut shreds and of course açaí. I had never had açaí and it's like less sweet sorbet. The bowl was attractive and tasted very good. The fruit was fresh and the flavors blended well. Apparently they serve avocado toast as well. I'm sure I'll bring my kids back sometime. I can see this as an occasional treat. The girls who served me were very friendly.

I ordered the Spicy Chicken Grain Bowl ($9.95 plus tax) which was comprised of brown rice, tomato, romaine lettuce, black beans, jalapenos, tortilla strips, soft grilled spicy chicken and Sriracha dressing on the side. The portion size was modest for the price, but it had very spicy flavors. For dessert, I ordered the Sweet Basic Waffle ($5.95 plus tax) which was a thick soft waffle (not warm) topped with almond butter spread, flax seeds, honey. This waffle was very filling to eat and the almond butter and honey made for a sweet and nutty flavor. Overall, the food here was pretty good and fresh. They also offer Grub Hub and DoorDash food delivery too.

This one is large, clean, and bright, with a row of tables along one wall. But there's a lot of open space here where other tables could exist. All your menu options are listed on screens on the wall, and there's no problems at all crafting any type of bowl as you want. My bowl here included 2 types of greens, the allowed-for extras, avocado added on, and an Asian sesame dressing. It was pretty good, but not strong in flavor, particularly in the dressing. Also, my avocado was very obviously overripe. I still think this is your best option for a healthy meal and/or a salad when you're in the immediate area, I just wasn't (pun intended) bowled over.

In searching for a healthy lunch option that has delivery options on Yelp, I came upon Bowled. I ordered one of their signature açai bowls.

It filled me up and got me through my workday. Their bowls deliver well so no worries there. My bowl arrived at my door perfect and ready to eat.

Now when I clicked the fried catfish option it opted me to pay a dollar extra for cheese, which is weird because it's already in the title of the meal but I just clicked add cheese for a dollar extra. The staff was friendly. The woman who made my shake, asked me if I would like oats added to the drink to make it taste more like carrot cake. I took her advice, and I do not regret it. The shake was delicious. I took the meal home and I will say to my surprise I felt like they put a very small amount of catfish compared to everything else in the place but the catfish was pretty good. I was happy to see they didn't fry it with cornmeal. The eggs was well seasoned with salt and pepper and cheese. The grits were slightly bland, but it wasn't the worst grits that I've tried. I recommend trying this place because I will be back, especially for the shakes.

My explanation was dismissed, despite receiving this same service here many times before without issue. Turning away every guest with an allergy, regardless of how it is managed, is concerning. The interaction felt ignorant and uninformed. It was also difficult to watch Emma be warm and welcoming to other guests while treating me differently, which made the experience feel discriminatory. After years of being a loyal customer, I expected better and I will advise anyone I've recommended to no longer support this establishment.

My favorite is the poke bowl, followed closely by the bruschetta bowl. The staff is the BEST of all the food trucks outside of the Capitol. They make an effort to make you happy, so switch proteins, substitute protein- they have tofu, they'll make it Keto if that's your preference.. They really make an effort to remember what you like.. they take your name w/your order & they get to know you. Today, I bought a bowl for lunch and dinner. Cuz.. that's how I bowl!

I ordered the Feta & Cheddar Omelet ($6.50 plus tax) and and a Berry Delicious Oatmeal ($9.50 plus tax). However, when I walked into the eatery, I was informed they didn;t have oatmeal and asked me to make a substitute. I requested a Pastrami Sandwich as a substitute and they upcharged my online order $2.16 with tax. Anyways, my order was ready 7 minutes after making the substitution. I enjoyed my food out in the hall. The omelet was folded with onions, peppers, tomatoes, topped with feta & cheddar cheeses. I enjoyed this tasty omelet. The thick Pastrami Sandwich had thin slices of pastrami, kraut, and a spiced mustard spread on a toasted kaiser roll. My food overall was pretty good. Hopefully next time they will have oatmeal to go with one of their breakfast sandwiches.

I admit I had a little difficulty ordering through the website so I waited until I arrived at the store. Luckily for me I was able to place my order quickly and the staff was super friendly, answered all my questions, and made our order really fast. The first thing I noticed about the store was that it was very clean. The menu is on some monitors behind the counter but since I already had tried to order through the website I was able to tell the employee what I wanted directly from my phone. One thing I noticed about ordering from the website was it did specifically say which dressings were vegan friendly. That was one reason I waited to order at the store. Secondly on the website, the default for the bowls was chicken so to remove the chicken and substitute organic tofu would be the same price a just adding tofu and keeping the chicken on there. Which for me, wouldn't work because we're vegan. In the store ordering was no issue and changing chicken to tofu there was no price difference so the Street Corn Grain Bowl ended up being $11.95 as it should be vice $13.70 like the website was trying to charge me. Aside from the technical difficulties, the rewards program is awesome, and the food was delicious, fresh, and filling. We were totally satisfied with the service, and the food. Thank you so much!
