I've stopped in at Free Range Cafe regularly since it opened, and I've really appreciated having a…read morespot like this in the area. It can be difficult to find gluten free options and they always deliver good food. However, there definitely seem to have been some changes recently--not sure if it's new management, perhaps multiple factors. I'm excited to see some new additions to the menu, and any period of change is bound to come with some hiccups, but the use of generative AI is a HUGE concern for me. The environmental impact of generative AI is well-known, and that seems to be at odds with the values of Free Range which emphasizes local, fresh food and being more environmentally friendly. However, on my most recent visit, AI-generated merch was available for sale, as well as AI-generated coloring pages for kids. Some of the text on recent social media posts also has hallmarks of AI generation. There are many free coloring pages available online, and it could be really cool to see a collaboration with a local artist for merch designs instead. Free Range Cafe is a place I've always really enjoyed, and their food is still delicious. I want to continue coming here, so I hope that management can take these concerns into consideration as they move in their new direction.

Representing 2023, F is for Free Range Cafe. I was here in Hagerstown for work travel in May 2023…read more It was bittersweet as they had switched to online so it would be the last time having work travel there. Even if I'd be Hagerstown for some reason, I'd either be on the freeway or downtown area at best. This is on the north side of town, so unsure when or if I'd ever be back. On my way to my work travel, the rail was coming which might mean I'd be waiting 10 minutes, so I decided to pop in here for lunch. Staff was very nice. I asked several questions about the menu, and they were helpful. I got a grain chicken bowl with rice, Brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, & more. It was excellent. The place was clean with plenty of room to seat and enjoy my nice meal. They had a beautiful water jug, which I enjoyed water in my courtesy water cup. Overall, it was an excellent experience with the outstanding bowl. I'd come back if ever back over here.

So I thought it was time to revisit Vitality Bowls® - stopped in just after lunch hour & saw that the Supergreen Goddess Salad was still on the menu (nice balance of chicken, greens, eggs w/ avocado). I placed my order & sat at one of the 3 tables (I'm pretty sure the lion's share of business is to-go) - waited about a couple'a minutes for my made-to-order salad. When it came, it was just as good as previous visits, with everything fresh. Vitality is a good healthy choice nestled among all the nearby fast-food joints. They also have a selection of juices if that's your thing. I'll keep it in the dining rotation!

There are only a few tables, although none were occupied. The hummus and veggie appetizer was a huge disappointment. The hummus was tasty, but unfortunately the potion was only enough for about 1/3 of the veggies. The carrots and celery appeared to be a couple days old by the discoloration. The celery was impossible to dip in the hummus as it was chopped/sliced for a salad. Thankfully, the steak bowl was delicious and the right sized portion. All the ingredients were fresh and very flavorful. It was easy to distinguish between the different flavors. Not sure yet if I will give this place another visit.

I really love popping Boba and was so excited to see that they have a few flavors. They did not have the strawberry milk tea or strawberry smoothie that is my usual go-to vessel for the strawberry poppers. I opted for a large wild berry smoothie with strawberry poppers and my fiancé got a large strawberry banana smoothie with strawberry poppers. The price point is excellent and cheaper than anywhere else we have been in PA! The drinks tasted super fresh and it is fun to watch them being made. We were there on opening day (5/28/22) so the line was really long, but it moved super quickly and everyone was so friendly! We will definitely be back! All of their menu items look delicious and we have a lot of other combinations that we want to try. The location is near Dave and Buster's on the side of the mall, near the food court.
