This place separates itself from similar businesses by making its food fresh. It's "something" about hearing your food sizzle on the grill while you wait. I didn't like the indoor or outdoor sitting areas. However, it is a spacious place. I think I'll come back to this place again. It's hard to say how to rank them from just one meal. However, it was great. So, for now, it's my number 2 in the Tampa Bay area. Check them out. read more

I decided to try SoFresh for a healthier dinner option while staying in Downtown Tampa. It's a casual dining spot with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. You order on a screen at the front of the store and have wraps, bowls, salads to choose from. I opted for the power bowl with tofu. It was really good! Lots of flavors with the sweet raisins, goat cheese and pesto sauce. I would definitely come back and get this again or try another bowl. read more

SoFresh - Power bowl with tofu - Salad Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I used to go to The so fresh in South Tampa all the time and never had a problem . Every time I go to the one downtown now the portions are not what they used to be. Seems like they are shrinking portions and increasing price. Quality of the food is good, but they've cut down so much on portions and increase the price. It doesn't make sense. I can go to fresh kitchen and pay 1/3 of the price and be full. It's ridiculous to pay $17 for a salad or bowl and still be hungry. Even when I added on extra of one item, it didn't even look like they added anything extra compared to not doing that. Everything else is good. Just not worth the cost compared to other options. read more

Who ever this is at front desk super rude! We came in 2 adult with 2 small children. My husband went to sit down so I can wait for the iPad to be open up and place an order. First thing she yells no public bathroom. You can't just sit here doing nothing! excuse me. I have kids we are ordering food. None of the iPad are available because people are infront of us. She I tell her I'm waiting for an iPad she yells again crap saying I'm just telling you ! I love SoFresh but the one in Brooksville because they are always friendly and always wanting to help. This one in downtown Tampa you made my experience super disappointing that if it wasn't my kids wanted to eat here I would have found something else quickly. When hiring should make sure to tell your employees to relax with the anger attacking attitude. read more

Work has brought me to Tampa for a few days, and since I flew in a little early, I was able to grab some lunch before the week's events rolled out! SoFresh is like any downtown "healthy" food cafe. Meant for the locals and downtown corporate crowd I'm assuming. They have a standard selection of salads, sandwiches/wraps, bowls, smoothies, and desserts (pre-packaged cookies and brownies). It's nice that everything starts off vegan or vegetarian, and as you add proteins and toppings, you can make it as non-veg as you want, LOL! It is very inclusive! My only gripe was the wait time. I personally don't think a salad should take 15 minutes to make, especially since they weren't particularly busy around 2pm, but at least it was a packed bowl. I thought I was able to sub out the balsamic for BBQ, but they gave me both anyway. The chocolate chip cookie that I added onto the order was a pre-packaged chocolate chip cookie. It wasn't anything special, but my sweet tooth was appeased after hitting my "health" quota with the salad. read more

This place makes good food, the problem is that they don't make your order, they just make whatever they want. I have ordered here 5 times and I have ordered the same wrap every time. Except, I have never received the same thing. Things are always missing, added, or randomly on the side. I've never really complained or asked for a replacement because it's frustrating but not really the end of the world. However, on this most recent occasion, of the 7 things I put on my wrap, I received 2, chicken and lettuce. No corn, carrots, rice, onion, or avocado. This time I called because it's happened time and time again. When I called, I nicely explained the issue and then they hung up on me. I called again and they hung up on me again. Will avoid this place going forward due to incredibly poor customer service and no regard for what's in a persons order. read more

I just want to say sorry for ever going to another location because this place is the BEST. I tried a new sofresh and they were not good at all. The veggies weren't sautéed right, little to no seasonings, just plain out horrible. This location let me down before with the portion size, but this today they made it up!! The customer service is always amazing and the location is clean! I order from here every time I'm on this side of town!! Whoever is back there cooking this stuff needs a raise and some recognition!!! You made my day after ordering today! Thank you!! read more

Ugh, I ordered a Small Design Your Own Warm Bowl via online from SoFresh for pickup today. When I got back to the office, I noticed that there was maybe a teaspoon of black beans and five sweet potato pieces of my mix-ins. I understand that it's the small bowl but that is a ridiculous portion. If you can even call it that. Why even bother adding them? I'm not sure if it was because I didn't add a tip for them to place my food on a shelf for pick up or not. Either way, I won't be eating here anymore if this is their new norm. read more

I love coming to so fresh for a quick bite that's healthy and fresh but still full of flavor. They are always timely, and so kind whether it be for a order in or takeout. The environment is always a first choice for us when it comes to work lunches or treating a new employee. It's a nice, calm place to get together for a quick lunch, or to have a working lunch. My favorite is the Cali bowl, and the Mediterranean salad always with their beet juice read more

I stopped by here after the free evening yoga class for a healthy dinner. It was walking distance and the perfect place to eat out and still feel great. I ordered the Rise & Shine. It was a nice, fresh salad that didn't bore me. I especially liked the quinoa, sweet potatos, and bacon along with a side of mashed avocado. For protein, the bowl comes with 2 poached eggs. I added chicken for $2 and they seasoned it well and it came out tender. My friend got plantains from across the street at the Jamaican restaurant and I added some to the salad to give it a nice natural sweetness. I like the concept of quick and fresh healthy meals here. However, the downside is the cost. read more

I was really looking forward to my comfort bowl, but I was disappointed. The rice had an off flavor (like cooking oil which had gone bad) and since rice is 80% of the dish (they don't look at all like the photo, mine had 2 pc of broccoli, about 3 teaspoons of tiny diced sweet potato, 3 giant chunks of steak--which were delicious--all on a thick blended bed of rice, quinoa and what I assume is cauliflower although it was so tiny it was hard to tell). So I basically paid $25 for 3 chunks of beef and 2 pc of broccoli, as the rest was inedible. I think the green sauce is either pesto or chimichurri , can't tell because it just tasted like oil with no flavor. I'm debating going back and trying another bowl on a different day, to see if it has better flavor. read more

This is great little spot downtown to have lunch. It's pretty busy and there was a line to order. The concept is about creating your own combination by picking your toppings on sandwiches or freshly made salads. I have to say their Chicken is advertised as natural non Gmo and it is great. I had the Meddirainean Salad that comes with a small chickpea mixture on the side. The greens were fresh and the dressing was flavorful, not oily. The service us quick and there are plenty of places to sit. Give it a try. read more

Good salad options but a bit pricey. The food is very fresh and worth the few extra dollars.

Still SoFresh's biggest fan. This time I came when I couldn't eat soy/dairy/nuts/eggs so I was rather limited about where to go. Luckily, SoFresh marks on the menu their vegan options so I knew I didn't have to worry about the eggs and dairy so I just asked about soy. Their Superfood bowl is soy free so I got that! I added the chicken since I'm not vegan. It came out piping hot - like burn your tongue hot. I actually did burn my tongue because I was chowing down so fast. I commented I need to learn how they make the quinoa taste so good! The whole bowl was a perfect blend of flavors. Heck, I need to learn how to make broccoli taste so good too. This is a meal that I feel like I should be able to make at home because it is whole ingredients, but I would never be able to make it taste so good. The employee at the cash register was cheery and friendly. They hire good people here. I was surprised that at noon on a Friday this place wasn't packed with people. However, it was in December close to the holidays and it had been raining moments before. TLDR: go here, feel healthy, eat tasty food. read more

Nice selection of food for a quick healthy meal. Conveniently located by many downtown attractions.

Called to tell them they put something I'm allergic to on my bowl and the guy had an attitude. Never going back there again

I highly enjoy the food here. I am been getting there Bangkok bowl with fire chicken braised chicken. The staff is interchangeable, but they're always very nice. I usually go there when it's not too busy. I eat there often. I highly recommend ordering a smoothie when you're ordering the meal. It comes out cheaper than if you order it separately. read more

Good food and seems pretty healthy, but the chicken was clearly cooked at a much earlier time in the day and tossed in the mix (it was cold). Decent amount of choices too but I only gave it three stars because of the cold chicken and the ordering/service process. You punch your order into a computer terminal thingy and pay there too. I wasn't greeted by an employee or acknowledged by a human at all. When my order was complete, someone set it on the counter and didn't say anything to let me know it was my order. Here comes the rant... why are all these places removing a human from the process yet they still expect a tip? I'm just saying, what are these tips for if you don't even say hi, hello, welcome, have a good day? I paid for my order and added a tip before I even understood the tip was going to a person that has no understanding of service. I'm not cheep and actually enjoy tipping generously, but there is an expectation of some level of friendliness or hospitality. read more

My friend and I dined in at So Fresh. We were excited to dine here! When we came in to the store we needed to order at a kiosk. The kiosk had all the dining options and featured pictures of the bowls and wraps with protein and showed the price of the item. When you clicked on the picture Then all of sudden you had the option of adding protein for an extra cost. There pictures are false advertising. Also, there is no interaction with staff and everything is done on a kiosk. The. You are asked to leave a gratuity. No one interacted with me etc. I think the healthy concept is great! The prices are not cheap, it feels very antiseptic and not a friendly place, and I do not like the bait and switch regarding the protein that is show. photos on the kiosk without stating it is extra. I will not be back anytime soon. read more

Fresh fast and healthy with lots of vegan options! I took away a star because they didn't clearly disclose what had dairy in it and I almost ate the sriracha sauce which would have definitely made me sick.

I wanted to get a quick dinner between work and seeing a show at the Tampa Theatre so I stopped in here. I had read good things about it on Yelp so I figured I would give it a shot. Their menu is very simple, similar to other quick service places in the area where you choose a base and then add your protein and other options. They have various kinds of bowls, wraps and salads. I was torn between the Greek bowl and a Boca Fiest wrap. I went with the Greek bowl because I wanted feta. I also went with chicken as my protein. The Greek bowl comes with one container of tzatziki sauce and I wish I would have had a second because it was so good. The bowl was very filling. Next time I will probably try the wrap. I also ordered a tea. They have a variety of "gourmet" sodas that I want to try next time. Parking is not great in this area so I can't see coming here for breakfast or lunch unless you work downtown but they are open for dinner. read more

This place is alright. Novio and I went to a hockey game (this review is way overdo) on a Saturday and we forgot that FUSION BOWL IS CLOSED ON SATURDAYS so we decided to go on Eddie and Sams but it WAS CLOSED FOR CLEANING. Out of ideas and saddened that our first and second choice were both closed we went to SoFresh. This place was fresh. I always see it full for lunch on weekdays so I assumed it would be good. Novio and I ordered a Cesar wrap and a smoothie. Both things were okay, nothing out of this world, but it did the job. This is a quick place, hard to find a decent parking spot if you're coming in for a mid week meal. It is a simple, healthy, convenient, location. read more

Got very lucky to walk by this place. Nice folks behind the counter. Great menu items . 『Portions though are pretty huge. I wish there was a smaller portion option. I really don't like to toss food and i was just visiting the area and couldn't pop the perishable leftovers in my car.』 I'd love a half portion though. My bestie has the tomato soup and chips with a guava(?) smoothie. Loved it! I really enjoyed my food. The freshness and healthy veggies. I felt good eating it. We both did. I would definitely come back. read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch. I got the Cali bowl and added the citrus chicken. And honestly, the pictures on yelp is what sold me in on it. The bowl had quinoa, avocado, tomatoes, black beans and lettuce. The chicken was flavorful and the citrus dressing complimented the dish perfectly- yet was light and flavorful. The portion size was great, but definitely add a protein if you're not vegetarian to give it a little extra kick, texture and energy. If you're looking for a quick and healthy lunch choice, SoFresh is it! read more

Excellent healthful food. The best salads, mix and match to make it custom and it's clean food.

Tampa, FL: Yelp community, thou hast not forsaken me! But seriously, great recommendation y'all. I came here during the lunch hustle with two other people. We managed to find indoor seating despite the rush and were given a thorough explanation of the menu by one member of their extremely helpful staff. I decided to go with my own customized hot bowl, picking quinoa, zoodles, bell peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, chickpeas, and teriyaki sauce. I also coughed up another $2.00 for the protein, picking tofu. Finally, I grabbed a drink cup for the mint lemonade. How was all of it, you ask. DELICIOUS. Just a big ol' bowl of absolute deliciousness. The combo I created was fabulous and the mint lemonade was exceptional. Also, an extra benefit to the restaurant is how earth friendly it is - everything that is disposable is compostable. The meal ended with my two lunch compadres thanking me for choosing such a delicious meal. I said it wasn't me, it was my fellow Yelpers and, of course, this fabulous establishment. Thanks for a great meal SoFresh! read more
