Why 5 stars? Because it's healthy and delicious. --- --- --- I enjoy the ritual of eating out, but I also try to be healthy more often than not. So when I find a place that combines those two things, I'm, as the kids says, "all about that life." I went with the poke bowl, and my girlfriend ordered the BBQ chicken bowl. I thought mine was solid but hers was absolutely amazing. It comes with corn, beans, onions, cheese, and you can substitute zucchini noodles for rice, which is what she did. Zoodles are God's gift to the human race, when trying to limit those calories, but not sacrifice on taste! We will definitely be back when we're looking to break up the monotony of our own healthy cooking! read more

SoFresh - A little Poke Bowl with Ahi Tuna! - New American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I came here with a friend to check out a new lunch place that was healthy to boot! We couldn't decide what to get because the menu had to much to choose from and so many healthy protein and greens options can make my head spin - in a good way! I ended up with the signature salad with flax crusted ahi tuna - wow! The dressing (made in house) was a light vinaigrette and the tuna was fantastic! The salad had healthy fats, greens, and proteins and took the thinking out of me making my own lunch at a reasonable price! I've also heard that the Poke is delicious! read more

Thank you so much to Eric and The SoFresh staff on Westshore for the delicious catered lunch for our Teacher Appreciation luncheon. Everything was "so fresh" and the amount and variety of food provided was generous. read more

After hitting all the local haunts in the Soho area for food options, I finally decided to give this healthy "fast food" place a try. I only use the term "fast food" because the food orders come out in a quick and timely manner, I say it devoid of any indication that the food isn't tasty of high quality because I very much so believe it is and like the name says, FRESH. Housed in a strip of other eateries and stores, there is parking lining the retail complex which is in close proximity to the storefront. The premise at So Fresh is that you choose a salad, a wrap, or a bowl from the menu. The menu descriptions serve as a base and then you add your protein, hormone and antibiotic free chicken and organic tofu are included in the price with hormone free beef and ahi tuna with a small up charge. Any bowl has the potential of zucchini "noodles" to be added on (I believe $1 for half or $2 for full bowl) or avocado for a nominal charge. My particular favorite here is the superfood bowl which I have gotten with both seared Ahi tuna and organic tofu, both of which are delicious. I enjoy that the restaurant keeps bottles of Sriracha for patrons and I fee or really compliments the meal. There are fountain drinks available and they sell gluten free (I think) oatmeal cookies for a sweet treat. The staff is always friendly and helpful and able to answer any question you may have and works to give you a quality product efficiently. I have never waited for more than 5-10 minutes for my meal so I would advise coming here if you want good, wholesome healthy food and are in a rush, as long as it's convenient to you. There is also another location off Fowler which is their original location. I will be sure to return again and again. I really enjoy their flavorful options and inventive creations. The interior, although not large is comfortable and has nice decor appropriate for the restaurant. I can attest that the restroom that they have was clean when I used it to wash my hands. Overall, a really great place and I look forward to my next meal from there. read more

I used to loveeeee this place and it used to be such a rich bowl, Superfood! Now it's pretty much a rice carb bowl. I am so disappointed and have stopped going! This is the Soho branch For my last experience the picture i attached will show: 1-mostly it's rice, 2-there is bits of chicken and nothing reasonable.. 3-the avocado was not at all ripe so i couldn't even eat it 4- there is barely 3 walnuts in the plate This costs 11$.. doesn't make sense to go there anymore. I hope they improve and go back to their previous quality. This used to be healthy and good ! read more

SoFresh - New American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

The SoFresh restaurant in downtown Tampa, Florida is scrumptious. The staff is always friendly and looks for ways to make your experience great. So excited that they now have sweet potatoes noodles. I ordered the sweet potatoes noodles today. They were incredibly delicious. I will take a break from my normal zucchini noodles. read more

Cashier/front desk person had a hard time hearing anything I was saying, so I had to crane my neck around the sneeze guard shield. She seemed a bit overwhelmed with only 2 other customers in the shop. She didn't take my order correctly, left out the sweet potatoes!!! (best ingredient in the bowl IMO). The food is quite excellent, just need to improve the service quality so we can all get our bowls inclusive of all the delicious ingredients. read more

ordered with Uber Eats. I didn't get my requested utensils. the avocado wasn't cut. ilFood extremely bland and a tiny amount of everything after paying damn $26. very disappointing. I've eaten here alot and this is the first time it was just gross. whoever's preparing these bowls needs to be ashamed of themselves. the tofu had zero flavor and looked like it was cut with someone's fingers instead of a knife. nothing worse than paying almost thirty bucks, waiting for an hour just to get shitty food. Last time I'm ordering for there read more

Update--- SoFresh made it right by me. Original review was one star... Something has changed! I've been going to SoFresh for a number of years now since they opened. This is the quantity of the superfood bowl that I received today. Roughly half a bowl for $9.76 with no protein! Very disappointing and very expensive for mostly quinoa. read more

SoFresh - Superfood bowl base. No protein. - New American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

After listening to all my friends rave about this place for weeks, I finally got out to try it for myself! I was not disappointed! They have tons of healthy options for you to choose from and you can even build your own wraps and salads or put your salad into a wrap! The real winner here is the tulum quesadilla that everyone wouldn't stop talking about and after having one I can see why! Tons of melty cheese with corn and black beans and creamy ranch it's amazing! read more

The salads were super fresh and tasted great! We got a cookie and it was not as great. Tasted like it had been sitting for days. Would definitely come back again for lunch! read more

This place keeps staying "fresh" and needs a review update! Let me say you don't get more filling and nutritious food at any other "bowl" spots then here. Just spoke to the new GM Mike and found out they literally do every single thing fresh now. Not a single item comes from a can or freezer now. Still priced right and worth a stop in for lunch anytime! read more

SoFresh - SuperFood bowl with a few extras. Absolutely delicious!! That siracha sauce is bomb. Will definitely order every time I'm in Tampa! - New American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I've been to this location twice now and just like the downtown location, they are accommodating and quick! It doesn't quite have as much space for seating, so this one is mainly all take out, which is what I did tonight. I have a thing for their kid's chicken bowl...I haven't gotten away from it yet, but I'm hoping soon I will try something else. I like this place, it's very quick and the food is good and hot, even by the time you get it home! I will make this a regular spot. read more

Ordered via DoorDash and tried the Cali bowl as listed on the menu w/ grilled citrus chicken. Woah. First off, the serving is pretty hefty, so it's a great value for the price. Every ingredient was fresh and flavorful. The citrus agave mustard dressing pairs perfectly. Delivery was quick too. Tbh, I think I rank them higher than Fresh Kitchen, which is what I was looking for on the app when I decided to go with SoFresh. They did not disappoint! (I had already mixed the bowl when I took the photo, just FYI.) read more

Great place and various locations to grab a quick healthy bite to eat! This was my first time here and I was able to get so many mix-ins along with the steak which was cooked perfectly! Staff were great and the parking was very accessible in the shopping plaza read more

I am reluctant to say that today will be my first and last visit to SoFresh. The menu was promising; however, after receiving my meal I was highly disappointed. The vegetables were uncooked, and the rice tasted like I was eating bullets. The small amount of sauce that I was given could not mask the horrible taste of the rice, spongy cubed chicken or the vegetables for that manner. For such high prices, I had high hopes but I received a meal that was SoFresh that they forgot to cook it. read more

Great place in SOHO for a nice healthy (but large) meal! You can order and receive food relatively quickly. All while expecting the same high quality every time. Food: it goes with the name. Fresh, clean ingredients that speak for themselves. Simple, you get what you order bowls, sandwiches and wraps. The smoothies are good too. Very filling and taste is great. Personal recommendation- the bowls are my favorite, among them the superfood bowl. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. Service: you wait in line and order from a counter, it's an efficient process and they don't skimp out by not hand delivering your food, even at busy times. Ambience: casual. A lot of people who are coming from the gym come here. Very nice outdoor seating. Overall: great place for quick, filling and healthy meals. I am a regular here. read more

This place never disappoints. Their food is always fresh and flavorful. They have a great variety of healthy choices and my food is ready fast. It's great to know I have healthy options.

SoFresh - BBQ bowl - New American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I came across so fresh do to a recommendation from my trainer 4 fresh food cooked well after a workout. I have to say I was really impressed with the food and quick service. My sister and I have tried the SuperFood, stir fry, BBQ and Greek bowls topped with chicken steak and salmon. We've even doubled it up and included the zoodles (zucchini noodles) for an additional $2. The smoothies are healthy they are only fruit and have no additional juices, sugar or sweetness are added. We have tried the CLASSIC, which includes strawberry banana and honey and we've tried the ISLAND that includes mango pineapple and honey. For the price you get a decent amount of food and it's healthy you can't go wrong. The only thing that sucks about this location is that parking is limited sometimes depending on the time that you go. I go when I'm in that area and want to eat clean. S if you are in the area and need clean food that you didn't slave over in your own kitchen, It's a Must thatt you try them out. read more

First time being here and it was fantastic! It was a lot of food so I took the rest home to eat the next day. Service was great as well.

5 stars for the food: I had a bowl with quinoa, chicken, feta, etc. and it was delicious! It was also big enough that it was two meals for me. I go here at least once a week. The place is amazing! And always packed but they make the food fresh and quickly. read more

Health food doesn't have to be bland, and this was super bland. The drink that was labeled "on the sweet side" tasted pretty bland as well. I imagine it's a great spot if you have super strict dietary needs, but if you're trying to make healthier choices while maintaining flavor, i would not recommend. Nice staff though! read more

Whenever I'm in the mood for something quick and healthy after the gym, this is my go-to place! It's the perfect way to eat something healthy and get all the things you want and there's a wide selection of pre-made concoctions to choose from. They're super quick and the staff members are happy to answer any questions you might have. My personal favorites are the Power bowl with chicken and the Skinny bowl with Salmon. The superfood bowl is the perfect combination of savory and sweet ingredients such as goat cheese and craisins all melded together with crunchy kale slaw, and fluffy brown rice. I love the kale-basil pesto that comes with it because it's so refreshing and light enough to really bring all the flavors together. As for the Skinny Bowl, it's the best to get for a "treat yoself" dinner with some wine. The salmon is perfectly cooked and is a great with the freshly made chunky tomato sauce all over zoodles. You'll be paying about $10-$15 depending on your bowl and protein choice but it's well worth it for how healthy and flavorful it is. read more

This place was a great place to have a quick, healthy and filling meal. My boyfriend mentioned that this would be a great place to refuel after a hard run and I quite agree. They offer a variety of quinoa bowls, salads and wraps and a build-it-yourself option. Basically, you choose your what type of bowl/salad/wrap you want and then choose your protein. My BF chose the super bowl with salmon and I got the power bowl with pan seared tofu. Mine came with a side of pesto, but honestly It wasn't necessary as the goat cheese that came on top added a delicious tanginess. Portions are huge so I'm looking forward to eating my leftovers for dinner tonight! read more

The bowls are overpriced and not that good. You barely get any protein and the protein that they give you is very low quality. My husband got the tuna and it was very fishy. He ended up taking a few bites of his bowl and tossed the rest. On top of that he said he said the food took forever to be prepared. Save yourself the time and money. We will not be back. read more

We get SoFresh atleast once a week. I think it's my favorite of all the health food restaurants in Tampa. I like to build my own bowl, always choose the zucchini noodles as one of my base options, I just love them so much! Also the homemade sriracha made me nervous, but it's similar to a sriracha aioli and I highly recommend it! read more

SoFresh is a great little healthy food eatery located along South Howard in between Platt and Swann in the SoHo section of South Tampa. The restaurant is small, and so the place fills up quickly at lunch. They have a couple of larger tables inside, which are stacked up with communal diners, and a few smaller tables to the back. Most folks were taking their orders to go, as this place seems quite popular with nearby residents and business workers. Parking is atrocious in this section of South Howard, so be prepared to circle the block while looking for a space in their tiny shared parking lot, or else bring a designated driver while you dash inside to pick up your to-go order. So Fresh has a lot of customizable bowls, salads, and wraps, along with their homemade soups and smoothies. This style of healthy eating has become popular lately, and though it can be pricey, it's certainly a tasty and filling lunch. The menu is displayed on big flat-screen TVs over the front counter, with constantly-scrolling pictures of the bowls, add-ons, and a list of ingredients. They also have printed menus for those who don't with to stand there and go "uhhhhhhhhhhh" while holding up the line. The basic bowls and salads start at $10, but you can add-on various protein toppers, or egg and avocado for an upcharge. Wraps start at $8. I ordered the Greek bowl, which was made with brown rice, onions, diced tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese, cucumbers, and house-made tzatziki sauce. I topped that off with seared Ahi tuna for a $3 up-charge. If you want to eat super healthy, they you can top your bowl with tofu or Zoodles (zucchini noodles). While waiting for them to prepare my Greek bowl, I also ordered their homemade chicken veggie soup ($4), which was a fantastic blend of veggies and slices of chicken breast simmering in a very tasty broth. Unlike a lot of soups, this one was not overcooked, and the vegetables still had a lot of 'bite'. I thought that my meal was delicious, though it's a bit pricey to eat here every day. Eating healthy is a good thing, and SoFresh gives you a delicious way to enjoy a healthy meal. read more

Yummy!!! I was so impressed with my food I've ordered once a week since my initial try!!

So I came here for lunch after getting lost in downtown Tampa. The restaurant is somewhat small and quaint. The staff seem pretty friendly. Food was quick to come out but taste was just OK. Probably will need to try something else if I return. read more

SoFresh - Cali with chicken - New American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I'm obsessed with this place. Every time I take my bite, I always think "wow, this is SO FRESH" then realize I accidentally made a bad dad joke. I love that you can get hormone free protein and well seasoned vegetables in a yummy dish - fast! Also I will eat anything if it's covered in their green goddess avocado dressing. But my favorite is a made-to-order presses veggie wrap. I always call-ahead and they usually have it ready in 10-20 min. read more

So fresh is so very good! And yes, it is made fresh. You choose a wrap, bowl or salad and can customize to your liking by adding proteins like salmon, chicken, steak, shrimp. You can add zoodles, very tasty and I recommend you add these. Zoodles are zucchini cut into thin spaghetti like shapes and they come deliciously marinated. They also have tofu as an add on. Very friendly staff. I went with the Superfood bowl and added on zoodles and salmon. This comes with quinoa and brown rice with tomatoes, broccoli, walnuts and avocado. They include a homemade balsamic vinaigrette. They also have smoothies and soups. The salad with the added protein is a main meal and very satisfying. The bowls are pretty large and I definitely had left overs. It's pretty small with only a few tables, but I was getting mine to go anyway. I told the server they need to put one closer to me in Carrollwood area, he said, give it about a year and we will be there. YES!! read more

5 cheers for a fresh and healthy fast casual location with food I would make at home, but just don't have the time! They offer bowls, wraps, and salads. Each has different styles/flavors with customizable options. Mediterranean, Mexican, Sweet chili poke, BBQ, etc. You also have different choices for proteins- chicken, tofu, zoodles (not sure if I'd classify this as a protein), and a few premium options for an up charge- ahi, steak, shrimp, salmon. There are also a couple of add on options like an egg or avocado. I got the Poke bowl with ahi and my date got the same with tofu. It's nice that you can take one flavor and customize it to dietary preferences. The ratio of veggies to rice to protein was on par and the ahi was every bit worth the extra $3. The sweet chili sauce was good and complimented the flavors well. The cost of the bowl was good value for the amount and quality of the food provided. The location is small and I've see others commenting on the bad parking situation. We didn't have any trouble getting a parking spot or a table, but I could see how this place would fill up fast. I don't think I'd drive a distance to eat here, but I'd stop by again when in the area. If I lived in this neighborhood, I'd be a regular for sure. read more

So naturally a new food option opens within walking distance and we must check it out. We ordered 2 salads - the Endless Summer and Granny Gorgonzola and added chicken to both. Salads were small in portions for price but made with healthy and fresh ingredients. We also ordered the Steak Dijon wrap which looked more like a spinach wrap minus the steak with extra Greek yogurt and Dijon. It was a definite miss from description and menu picture. For $31 I was expecting much more than what was delivered and won't be putting this on the list to dine again. read more

SoFresh - Yum! - New American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Was looking for a quick, healthy dinner with my boyfriend, found this place on line, and we decided to give it a try. It ended up being a cute little shop that was good but not necessarily memorable. I see this place as pretty much in direct competition with Fresh Kitchen, and while it has some advantages, I don't think I prefer it. SoFresh is in a strip mall which means there should be plenty of parking, unless you try to go there on a Friday/weekend evening. Then, the SoHo bar scene will take up most of the parking spaces. The restaurant itself is cute, pretty simply decorated with just a few tables. It's an order at the counter restaurant, and the counter is almost completely overtaken by a large TV that acts as the menu (but does a pretty bad job of it). Ordering was pretty simple, I chose a pre-designed salad from their menu with some chicken, along with a bowl of soup. My boyfriend got a rice bowl. The only problem was that I had felt pretty limited by the salad options, and didn't realize they even had a "Make your own" option until I had already received my salad. They have small handheld menus which are sort of unorganized, and the giant TV menu just slowly rotates through various options. Overall, it was pretty annoying to figure out what I wanted to order. Once we had ordered, and sat down, it was a pretty noticeable wait for our food. Not long, maybe 5-10 minutes, but considering I would compare this place to Fresh Kitchen or Panera, where you usually get your food within a minute of ordering, it was definitely noticeable. On the other hand, the food was really good. My salad was well made, and all the flavors went together, which is this place's biggest advantage over Fresh Kitchen (where most of the offerings are tasty but don't really mesh well into a single plate). The salad was also rather large, which is awesome because so often salads are puny. The soup was similarly tasty, and my boyfriend's bowl, while smaller than my salad, was similarly good. To finish the meal off, my boyfriend also picked up a cookie, which was probably the most disappointing part of the meal. It was pretty flavorless. I wouldn't try it again. The price was pretty good. On par with similar local, smaller-scale restaurants but since you get such a big salad it's probably a better deal. Overall, I liked this place, and I'll probably give it a few more tries whenever I'm in the area looking for a quick dinner, but I don't know. It just doesn't seem to have that cultural magnetism that Fresh Kitchen has created. But I hope they can figure out how to achieve that. read more

This will be my new lunch place. read more
