I've tried so many of their bowls and salads on the menu; the cashew bowl is top tier with a dressing so good I could drink it. The avocado crunch is also great (tuna salad please come back). The bowls are a very generous size and fill me up every time. I also love that their ingredients are locally sourced, and don't skip out on their cookies for dessert. I literally wish I could eat forage for lunch every single day. This Hilldale location is my favorite. Staff is always so nice and they make my bowl perfect every time. My experience at other locations hasn't been as good (too much dressing, out of multiple ingredients) so I always stick with this one. Easy parking and lots of shops around to stop in after/before your meal.

I've been here a few times (when staying at the Springhill Suites next door) and have tried a few…read moredifferent bowls and have enjoyed them all! I like that it's a quick option (counter service) for dinner when you're hungry but don't want to go to a full-service restaurant, or when you just want something healthier! The mini size bowls are really small (in my opinion) - probably half the size of the regular ones, so just something to note. I'd probably just pay the extra $3 and get the normal sized one. Love that they have a variety of drinks too (canned beer, wine, etc.). They also have a fairly substantial area if you choose to dine in.

They did forget one of my ingredients in my bowl but I swung back to ask for that to be added and they gave me a whole new salad for the inconvenience.

Food itself was quite nice, hot chocolate hit all the right notes, and the Olliebollen (first time) was a unique sweet treat to have, basically more doughy donut holes. The Hot Mess was the only thing I was slightly disappointed by, as some of the sausage I got in it was noticeably colder than the rest of the dish (but definitely not refrigerator cold). Overall nice place, very large and open dining area with two levels, I'd come back to try again!

Their staff were great and accommodating. There isn't much parking around and there can be a small line in the store (that moves fairly quickly)! A couple small tables line the front of the building for outdoor seating and they have a couple tables indoor as well. Both times I got the tuna poke bowl and bone broth. The tuna poke bowl seems like frozen tuna blocks (expected) with grains and pickled veggies. It was pretty light and refreshing. The bone broth was a good sip on the side! I would recommend getting it in a to go container, since it seemed to stay warmer in that compared to the bowl. I also tried their kombucha which had a stronger aftertaste of beer than what I'm used to (probably wouldn't get again). Overall, compared to other tuna I've had in the past, nothing stands out significantly but it's a great healthy dining option that's walking distance from Memorial Union!

The Seoul Bowl was really tasty--everything seemed fresh and the gochujang/cashew sauce combo was delicious. Love that it's clearly labeled as vegan too. I also had the Blue Boost smoothie. Despite its beautiful, vibrant color, it was pretty bland. I could mostly taste the toasted coconut but even that was faint. I was expecting to taste more pineapple or banana. 2 of my coworkers who also ordered smoothies expressed a similar sentiment. Overall, I liked it but would maybe skip the smoothie next time.

The Cobb salad was good. I asked for the avocado dressing instead of the ranch and it tasted good. Pretty filling with the half order lobster bisque I ordered. The lobster bisque was lighter than what usual lobster bisque is. This one didn't taste like it had heavy cream I think. The next day I ordered the power bowl. Pretty good as well. I honestly would be stuck on deciding which to order again, it would probably depend on mood. The potatoe soup was good too. I also ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberries. It was so good.

The bartenders were personable and competent (I watched them deftly make multiple drinks at once). The space is large and well lit, and the outdoor seating looked nice. I'm sure it's a vibe when the temps are a little warmer. I ordered 2 drinks. Haley's Comet - tasty, albeit a little sweet for me. Call Her Daddy - def my favorite, better balanced imo. I ordered the brunch fried rice and it was a letdown. It was advertised as having bacon and there was none to be found. The food was not hot, leaning towards cold. Like it had been sitting out. Oddly the poached egg was perfect. The rice itself was clumped, as if they didn't use dried out rice (what I'm used to for fried rice) As a rule, I tend not to send food back, so I ate the shrimp and let it be what it was. I was sorely disappointed though. I saw people ordering the brunch burger and honestly that looked way better than what I ordered. I'd be willing to give it another go, as the service and drinks were lovely
