Just passing thru, I have to catch the Bridgeport Ferry back to Port Jefferson. Before I leave New England, I want to have a hot cup of Clam Chowder for lunch. I'm driving and on a work call but all I'm thinking about is my Clam Chowder. Mmmm... Freshly shucked clams with oyster crackers! Give it to me now! I have a parking spot right in front and I'm scanning the soup board. There's no clam chowder listed? I approach the counter and ask the woman about Clam Chowder. A guy wearing a Red Sox Hat said to me, we only clam chowder on Thursday. We have Corn Chowder today. The woman behind the counter shakes her head in agreement. It's very good! I agree with them, I grab my corn chowder and head to a Tesla charging station in Rhode Island. Once I plug in the Tesla, I open my container of hot soup. The Corn Chowder is good! Very creamy and dreamy. Is it Clam Chowder? No. I kinda feel the same way when the Red Sox lose to the Yankees. So close. So close! Haha read more

Destination Soup is a small venue, but it's BIG quality and taste. Our first visit to Destination Soup was confusing with all the hustle and bustle around the ordering/pickup counter, and I was totally unprepared to order. But the kind counter worker helped me thru it. Our meals were great! G ordered the Wunderkind Salad with Tuna Salad. The counter worker said it was the healthiest salad in town . G said it was one of the best salads ever. I had a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup (finally). And I loved it -- thick, rich, and tasty. But next time... a cup of soup and a mini sandwich. read more

My biggest complaint about this place is that there isn't one closer to me. Service was very friendly-jovial even. It was a super cold day when I visited and I asked for a coffee. They let me know that they didn't serve it, but blew my mind in telling me that I was welcome to get some elsewhere, and bring it in... which is exactly what I did, while they made my totally fantastic tuna sandwich. As someone with a dairy allergy, I appreciated that they knew exactly what was in their food... even down to whether their multigrain bread had any milk in it...it delightfully did not! I love mustard and the tuna had a strong mustard base, so you should just know that flavor will be present before ordering. I really liked the community vibe in the restaurant and the ambience... If this place were closer, I'd be a regular. read more

Hippie vibe with outstanding food and wonderfully friendly service. New England Clam Chowder and Wunderkind Salad were both delicious. We shared them and were full. You can see in the photo how large each half of the salad was. Highly recommend! Note: Unfortunately, I don't think it's open on the weekends. read more

A true destination and gem in New Bedford! Soups are mad fresh and are delicious!! Everyone was chowing down when I got in and had to get the legendary portuchese (grilled cheese with chouriço and peppers). Quick service and friendly staff. Great spot for lunch and such cool decor of New Bedford and surrounding areas as well! Definitely a place to check out next time you're on Union St. read more

Perfect 10/10 on the chicken Caesar wrap!!! I honestly am trying to think of anything I didn't like but the chicken was shredded and moist and very flavorful, the dressing had to be homemade because it was VERY tasty, just enough croutons to give it a nice crunch and the lettuce MAYBE could have been a tiny bit crispier if anything. All around a great sandwich, they said to try the Beast roast beef is their claim to fame I didn't try it it was the first and only time I've been but would definitely come back if I'm the area. Check it out quick friendly service and great food read more

I absolutely love finding these "hole in the wall" local gems. They had a great menu with lots of tasty sandwiches, sides, and soups. We weren't starving and just wanted a small something to hold us over til dinner. My mom got a tomato soup and I got half a sandwich (the buffalo chicken grilled cheese). I was impressed by the size and price of the half sandwich. I liked the pulled chicken, buffalo sauce, and bleu cheese inside of a perfectly toasty and melty grilled cheese. My mom also liked her soup. We would both gladly eat here again. Service was friendly. Prices were great. I wish this place was located in my current state/city because I'd be here often. If you're looking for a great spot to grab some food on a day of antiquing, this is it! read more

Really enjoyed this little spot for lunch! Parked at a parking meter a couple blocks away. The workers were very nice. Lots of soups, salads, and sandwiches to choose from. Very fair prices! Split a salad, sandwich and soup and I loved them all! The curry peanut soup was very good and filling, ~$7.50 for a large. The large was very filling and came with bread. The salad was delicious and had lots of fresh ingredients. Loved the grilled cheese to dip in the soup as well. Overall a delicious lunch and I left very full! read more

We stopped here on one of our antiquing adventures and were not disappointed! Everything was made from scratch and super delicious! Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Nice sunny storefront; a clean and cheery spot for lunch! I had the Santa Fe grilled chicken 1/2 sandwich. There were so many tasty ingredients stuffed inside and a huge portion! I stole some of my husband's chicken veggie soup to have with it (Just like grandma would make). It was absolutely delicious! On the way out we couldn't help but grab a slab of their incredible lemon cake, bursting with lemon filling. Wow! Pre Covid prices made this a wonderful pick! read more

Well, I don't; know how to begin to tell you how great this place is!!! I am visiting New Bedford and looking for a great salad and soup, and this place popped up on yelp. The menu looked fantastic, and when i arrived i was greeted by the friendliest people - seems like a family business because it felt like family. The Wunderkind salad goes BEYOND the name - delicious flavors so well combined that it is hard to believe it's as healthy as it is - but it is! When I wasn't sure what kind of soup to order, the kind gentleman asked a few questions and matched me up with the perfect Kale Soup. He also offered it hot or cold since i had shard I was getting it to take back to my hotel - how thoughtful is that?! I didn't have to Carrie hot soup that was going to go into the fridge until later - the best service. The beverages are also priced a a more reasonable price than most restaurants, and i was so grateful when (again) the gentleman asked if I would need something and made suggestions and I was able to get them all. Run don't walk!!! read more

I attended a training today and lunch was catered by Destination Soups. I was impressed with the turkey sandwich w/ chipotle mayo, as it was quite flavorful. I also really enjoyed the mac'n'cheese. I would've gone back for seconds if not for fear of being in a carb coma during the remainder of our training! read more

I made the mistake of trying their soups and now I'm addicted. Absolutely the best chicken vegetable soup I've ever had and I'm so happy to have such a wonderful spot in my neighborhood. It's always buzzing with people at lunchtime and has a warm, homey vibe. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

Love to wander around the downtown area of New Bedford. Found this place while out wandering. Very good selection of soups to choose from and I opted for the linguica chili. It was a great selection. Because it was Wednesday, I was able to add the Mac and Cheese side for $1 off. The Mac and Cheese arrived a little late(looks like they forgot my order) but well worth the wait. The selections of soup change but a great variety oof sandwiches and salads. Stop by and enjoy your meal! read more

Even though I thought this restaurant would be primarily soups I ordered a delicious grilled cheese with bacon. It melted in my mouth. My husband enjoyed his sandwich as well. Place was clean staff friendly! read more

I had the buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich and the vegetable and chicken soup. Both were quite pleasant. The grilled chicken was seasoned beyond the buffalo sauce and the bread was a good crispy and chewy. I'd suggest giving it a try, but would like to see the buffalo sauce less watery and cheese melted a bit more than what I was given. read more

Destination Soup has been my go to for lunch when I forget to pack it. Very affordable soups, sandwiches and salads. They have a loyalty program in place now as well. Vegan options and gluten free options are very impressive. Daily options for soups are a mix of traditional and unique. Today I had creamy tomato basil and it's hearty but not heavy on the stomach. Bread is fresh with all sandwiches and salads are large portion salads. team members are welcoming and friendly. Definitely worth a stop in. read more

I ordered a bbq ribs and chicken platter. It came with salad and two sides. It was decent. I can't say it was over the top, it was as good as it could be expected. For the amount of money that was charged I had unfulfilled expectations. read more

Love it love it love it! I had the chicken and vegetable soup, the veggie chili, and the gazpacho. Came with an apple or crackers or chips. Atmosphere and people are really nice, attentive, and the prices are great. I love when I can spend less than $20 and feel satisfied. I could've spent less than ten but I went in for more soup! I'll be back for sure read more

Ordered a couple of meals to go here recently and the food was excellent, and they prepare the food very quickly. There's also great value because their prices are excellent! I will be back read more

I had the grilled cheese with apple and bacon, as well as one of their (purposely) cold soups that contained avocado, cucumber, and mint. It was all delicious, and it's one of the few places downtown that has one dollar sign ($) on Yelp. Instead of Panera this place has even better options and it's much better knowing the soups are made right there rather than shipped in. Bread was fresh as well. Friendly staff & a charming vibe. Definitely coming back :) read more

Absolute gem of a place. Beautiful soups, and perfect grilled cheeses. They're always changing the soups through a wide variety. This place made me love soup. This mushroom/ bleu cheese soup changed my life. I've only seen it once. read more

Delightful find in New Bedford with very friendly service. The soup selection is always interesting - I just had a tomato Chourico broccoli special that was delicious and I love their grilled cheese sandwiches with a twist - there is a buffalo version and a "lemony greens" version that is out of this world. I like to find any excuse to take a pit stop here on my way home to Fairhaven. read more

The guys have an attitude. I waited a long time while watching other people come in after me and get their sandwiches. Then they gave me a sandwich without all the items listed on the menu. I hate attitudes and I hate paying for someth that I didn't get. I won't go back which I assume was their intention when they gave me less than I paid for. If you want soup okay. Anything else forget. The sandwiches are bad. read more

Go here almost once a week for a quick dinner! Love it great food cheap price you can get a full sandwich soup bag of chips and a bottled water for $13 which is great. Food always tastes amazing and just a special spot needed here in New Bedford. Hardly do I give a 5 star so that's why I gave it the 4 because of all other options in the area. read more

Always delicious! Always an incredible staff! One of the best places in town, wish they were open 7 days a week!

After stopping at D.E.L.S. Nantuckets for a gift card in East Freetown, came down for some lunch at Destination Soups! Friendly staff. Had a cup of the white bean, turkey and kale soup and the marinated chicken sandwich with red pepper, spinach and chipotle mayo. Very, very good! Wife had a grilled cheese and tomato which was great as well. She thinks next time she will have a salad as those looked especially great passing our table. If this place was close to us I'd be here a LOT! Thanks guys! read more

Very friendly people here make it a treat to visit. As others have noted, the grilled cheese is really good, and the options for additions are wonderful. Prices are really good, especially considering how good the food is. My only complaint is that I didn't like the cream of broccoli soup--the broccoli was overcooked, and there was hot spice in the soup, which makes me very unhappy when a dish is not noted as spicy. Aside from that--lots of options, great prices, and friendly people. An amazing combination! read more

Must try the soup ! The soup is not the super salty kind of soup that u would have in other eateries. It tastes delicious! - the caprese salad was good. Plenty of thick pieces of mozzarella and tomato -also had the veggie mini sub and the chicken sub.Fresh ingredients and friendly service. read more

Vegan friendly!! I had the gazpacho soup and hummus plate. So much food and it was amazing. Quaint little place on the corner and very local/homey feeling. The menu changes daily and they are extremely accomodating! Service is fast and they deliver!!! A must go if you are in the area! read more

What a great little place for lunch! I discovered it recently while in New Bedford for a conference. We needed somewhere close by and fast, preferably healthy. It was a rainy day, so soup sounded fabulous - And it was! There were so many choices of soups, salads and sandwiches that we were initially overwhelmed. Being lunchtime and a Saturday, a line quickly formed. It was handled with ease and there was hardly any wait before our orders were taken and our food delivered. I decided on the half sandwich and cup of soup combo, choosing grilled cheese with tomato and cream of tomato basil soup. The soup was thick and creamy, not overly salted, and piping hot. The sandwich was just right: grilled sourdough with a mix of cheddar and provolone. My fellow conference goers had similar meals and were very pleased as well. Prices were very reasonable. Definitely will return the next time I find myself in the area!!! read more

Had a recent visit to this restaurant. As soon as I walked up to the counter area, Danny, was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, & helpful. The decision was made for a cup of sweet potato, kale soup and half sandwich, consisting of avocado, and other vegetables, cheese and was heated/grilled. As one that doesn't usually consume bread, unless the quality is present, the bread of the sandwich itself was delicious, along with the soup. The ambiance is casual, welcoming, the food items include vegetarian, always a good sign, the prices are reasonable, and portions, ample. This restaurant is a high recommend. read more

Best tomato soup ive ever had The grilled cheese was also delish. Also big portion for price
