I love me a good acai bowl, and Deep Purpl certainly has one. The concept is a little different…read morefrom acai bowl establishments I've visited before. Rather than a menu with several pre-created bowls, Deep Purpl starts with a basic acai bowl with options to choose your size and toppings, customizing each order. Sizes range from 8-24 ounces, and free unlimited toppings include a variety of fruits (bananas, strawberries, blueberries) coconut, granola, chia and hemp seeds, goji berries, almond and peanut butters, honey, blue chia pudding, and condensed milk. Premium toppings (extra cost) include pistachio cream, protein powders, and chocolate hazelnut spread. They also have Argentinian empanadas, however there isn't a vegan option so unfortunately I wasn't able to try these. I opted for the 20 ounce option with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, goji berries, hemp seeds, almond butter, and blue chia pudding. It was delicious, however after tip I paid just over $19 which seems a bit steep, even for something so delicious.

The soups are nothing like the pictures here. My squash soup was little more than salty/sweet water…read morewith a little squash flavor and overly sweetened with agave (sugar) syrup. My husband's mushroom soup was a little better, but also watery and over-salted. A small 12oz cup has very little veggies and costs $10.00. It comes with dry, hard "sourdough" bread slices.

Sunny Bowls may just be the city Goldmine as far as soup is concerned. Yes slightly tucked away but its apparently no secret! The lunch lines were forming just behind me as I stood a bit undecided yet excited about the great fresh soupy options! The gal at the counter named Lizette offered me to step aside to try a few samples, and oh so yumm! When I said aloud "where have you guys been all this time?" The owner named Bob exclaimed "right here!" Haha... we all had a chuckle as even a few more soup samples were handed over the counter to me. Please and thank you:) Everything is made fresh daily and this is not a chain, just a man who decided to open a small soup business. Note: they close 2:30p weekdays (not open on weekends), don't wait too late in a day to head over. I took a 16oz Thai Chicken Noodle soup and a 12oz Wild Mushroom & Wild Rice soup combo with a side of freshly toasted bread and an apricot spread. I couldn't pick just one. Had one for lunch & took the other home for dinner. I highly recommed you stop in, nothing better to warm a belly on a cold day! If today's experience is an indication, I'll be back quite often as winter is soon upon us!

The flavors of everything is so amazing and you can build your own bowl so you can get a bunch of flavors together. Honestly nothing I put in there was terrible. I get the chicken and the brisket. Both are incredibly flavorful. It was so good I had this twice on this trip and then took some to for my dinner on the plane. You can tell there is a lot of quality products here and they also do fermentation and have probiotics in their sauces. Which sauces aren't always the healthiest, I'd say these are. The guys working there were really nice and accommodating as well. Appreciate while I'm traveling to have healthy options!

We were excited to try this new-ish place in our neighborhood. Went there for brunch on a Sunday…read more Got some coffee drinks, potatoes, and breakfast sandwiches. I'm sorry to have to say this was one of the worst restaurants I've been to in a long time. My drink wasn't made properly (the menu said it had a sweet creamy whipped topping but what I got was some unsweetened coffee foam). But thankfully when I asked for something else they were gracious and did so. The sandwiches were so bad I literally spit out my first bite of my turkey sausage egg and cheese sandwich and threw the rest away. The menu showed turkey sausage patty in the sandwich but mine had a few sliced up pieces of breakfast sausage links, the english muffin was very greasy, and the egg and spinach were covered in grease. My partner ordered the turkey croissant sandwich and the turkey was dried out/crunchy in some parts and parts of the croissant were burnt. The potatoes were very bland and some of them tasted sour. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and it was out of soap (it was before noon by the way), the hand dryer was broken (there was literally a part of it hanging out the bottom and the part was very dirty/old looking, there were splatters in the toilet, and there were food bits all in the sink as if someone had eaten then rinsed out their mouth in the sink. I'm so annoyed that I spend almost $50 for myself and my partner and we basically had to throw everything out. If I could've asked for a full refund of my entire order I would have.
