SoFresh

This place is awesome! Not only is the food fresh, but the customer service is beyond amazing. Left an expensive watch inside and the manager had no hesitation to go find it and held it for me. Great establishment and fresh food!

Have gone here many times for lunch, both take out and eat in. Very good healthy food and such a break from all of the chain places in this area. The staff is friendly, love that the kitchen is right out in the open (and very clean) and affordable. The simpleness of the menu is also a plus; gives you many options. Would be hard to not find something you like here.

This place is so clean and so FRESH! I love this place. The wraps are also super good!

My first visit to SoFresh was great. The food was tasty and fresh (per the name). I got the Superfood bowl swapping zoodles for brown rice with tuna. Only complaint was the price tag ($ 16), which I thought was a bit high — would have been $ 14 without the zoodle swap.
My second visit was the following day (call me crazy, I was in the area for client meetings and it was quick, healthy and around the corner). I ordered the same exact dish but was really disappointed. I got ¹⁄₃ of the avocado I received the previous day. The tuna lacked any bit of seasoning/​flavor. Just nothing special at all, but still $ 16.
Portion sizes were OK, but I was hungry within an hour or so (and I’m a petite woman. I can’t imagine a guy being satisfied with a bowl, even with rice).
Overall, I like the concept. It’s a nice healthy option, but quality was totally inconsistent. And employees were just genuinely confused, except for one guy who was there both days and seemed to know what he was doing.

We’ve been here twice. Both times we’ve had good service and great food! The price is a little higher than the surrounding restaurants, but it is very worth it. We will be returning with friends and we plan to bring any visitors we get here.

First timer here.
At first I thought this place would not be good. However, I was wrong, the foods actually taste so good and affordable. And also, the place is very clean and cute. And last but not the least the employees are nice.
I can eat this food everyday if only I live closer lol
SoFresh is really so fresh lol

I thought the taste of the food was sub-​par considering the price of the food. My fiancé had the stir-​fry bowl with salmon. Other than being too salty there wasn’t much flavor or seasoning. I had a barbecue bowl with chicken. Bottled barbecue sauce and no other seasoning on any anything. Yes the ingredients were healthy but they were just thrown together with no seasoning or finesse. It reminded me of my days in college and what my bachelor friends would throw throw together. I guess I shouldn’t expect different from a college area. There are plenty of ways to season food… spices etc that do not add fat. We won’t be back.

I like the tacos and the bar with the toppings is always fresh. It’s not expensive. You walk up and order your food kind of place and it gets full sometimes but I like it. Been a few times, always good.

Great food! Great job chef BJ! Loved the ahi tuna very fresh very good. Great quality and great customer service! Love goat cheese on the Greek bowl add ahi!

I absolutely love this place! I can come in and grab lunch or dinner and not feel bad about skipping my «prepped» meals. Lots of healthy options, but, the key to this spot is everything is soooo tasty!
This is an update to my initial review… I am very disappointed in SoFresh today, I come here all the time and have NEVER had a problem. I ordered the Super Food bowl with steak & shrimp, which is not a first for me, however, when I got into the car and took a look at my meal the steak (which they cook medium rare) looked extremely mushy, again, I have ordered this before and I should note I do eat medium rare cooked meat. I went back in & addressed my concerns & was spoken to in a condescending tone as if I am not aware of how meats are cooked. The guy «up cooked» it and when he returned I asked him if the steak initially came out of the holding tray (maybe that’s why it was like that). It seemed as if he took offense to my question and stated that NONE of their meats are placed in the holding tray & everything is cooked fresh to order, he later stated that only the chicken is placed in the trays. Needless to say I probably won’t enjoy this meal. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt since they were busy with lunch hour, however, the employees response was awful and for $ 19 I really don’t think there should have been so much of a debate. This will definitely reduce my 5 star rating to a 3 unfortunately.

A good stop for a healthy bite! This restaurant uses fresh ingredients and quality proteins. Customer service is also excellent. You can order either a bowl (with quinoa or rice), wraps, or salads that they are offer and customize with protein of your choosing. They also feature a menu that details each item and the source of them. Healthy, but filling also!

Omg… sooo good! After a 13hr drive… right across from the hotel… is this great place! Smells refreshing just walking in and glad i did… got the veg wrap with chicken. Just what i needed to revitalize my body… will be back!!! New fav goto place while working in tampa

I always love it here. The bowls are so good. They have tons of vegan and vegetarian options which I love! It’s also right next door to campus which is nice, especially since they have wifi for my iPad or MacBook :) it’s pretty quick, my bowl took no longer than 10 minutes.
Last time I came I had an ahi tuna bowl with kale slaw and zoodles instead of rice. It was so good and I was full after eating half my bowl! The guys that are always here are really nice and they also have a punch card for every time you come in.

Simple, healthy, fresh, delicious. In Tampa for business and wanted a healthy, satisfying meal. The staff is friendly, music and atmosphere is on point, and the restaurant is clean. I ordered the protein bowl with tofu, they happened to be out of a few proteins, I was set on the grilled tofu either way! So yummy with the combination of ingredients mixed with the pesto and goat cheese. Will definitely come back to try another bowl my next visit! Sooooo fresh.

I had a power bowl with ahi tuna, which was so flippin good! How could something so healthy taste so good?

I so wish there was a So Fresh closer to me! My first visit was at their other location in South Tampa.
This location, is a wee bit closer but I would be a much more frequent flier if even closer!
The premise is pretty simple. You can order a bowl or salad ($ 10) or wrap ($ 8). Then you can add on protein or zoodles for additional $ 3.
Most items are Gluten Free and vegetarian or one or the other. Some are vegan and steak or chicken for you carnivores. The bowls are filling and last me 2 meals. My favorite is the Superfood with zoodles and salmon. This comes with quinoa and brown rice, avocado, walnuts, broccoli and diced tomatoes. Since everything is made fresh, customization is always allowed. You can also create your own bowl. This also comes with a side balsamic vinaigrette. Very tasty!
While not lo cal, it is real food and nutrient dense so totally worth it.

Why 5 stars? Because it’s healthy and delicious.

I totally copied the byline from my review of SoFresh’s other location, but I don’t feel too guilty about it. I did write that after all, and there’s truly no better way to sum SoFresh up in one sentence.
The BBQ chicken bowl with Zoodles is everything I could possibly want when eating healthy. Maybe I’m just being deceived, and in reality, that bowl is not as healthy as it appears. But it’s mainly just chicken, zoodles, and bbq sauce. When BBQ sauce is the worst thing you’re eating, you’re probably doing pretty good.
PRO TIP: If you’re really being healthy, order this bowl, eat half, and then take the rest home. Boom: lunch and dinner for the price of one! Because if you’re shrinking your stomach, this is wayyyyy too much food for one meal.
It surprises me that this would do so well near USF. Don’t college kids just consume unhealthy substances 24/​7, guilt-​free? When I was in college, I definitely was not eating zoodles!

We decided to try this place since we were in the area and it turned out to be a great idea! Kevin (and Ben on a subsequent visit) provided very friendly and professional service. The dining room and bathrooms were spotless which is always a plus. We really enjoyed the food and dare I say it, the so fresh taste.
We both ordered custom bowls with varieties of quinoa, veggies, cheese, sauce and steak or tofu. Everything was properly prepared and the combinations were wonderfully tasty and filling. I couldn’t even finish mine and got the remainder to go. We ordered a third to go for much later or tomorrow.
Interestingly, the sound track was old-​school 70’s funk which was a great change of pace. How often do you hear Brick House by the Commodores or Let it Whip by the Dazz Band? This was our first time here so I don’t know if this was a one time or a regular thing but either way, it made our visit fun!
Just to complete the interesting experience, a gentleman came in while I was standing by the door and told me a story about not having a gas can so he could fill up his car. I said, «look, I’ll take you to get some gas after we finish our meal.» Then, he told me he called his insurance company and they told him he didn’t have AAA service. I’m like, what? Finally, he offered to sell me his driver’s license for $ 3. I quickly realized this story was half-​baked at best and told him to leave us immediately, which he did. I then watched him accost others on the sidewalk by Winn Dixie. If he’d just asked for a so fresh meal, I might have bought him one. Oh well.

Hits the spot when you are looking for fresh and good for you nourishment
Friendly staff offered great suggestions and was patient — love this place!!!

So Fresh has improved since my first visit over a year ago. This location has a lot of competition as it sits in a corner of a shopping center with just about every food option represented. I crave good veggies which is actually hard to find at most restaurants and So Fresh does veggies right.
The menu has changed to more of a mix and match what you want, which could be confusing, but once you put together a great bowl or salad you’re good to go. They’ll do whatever you want.
The ingredients are healthy, fresh items. The addition of zoodles (zucchini noodles) has got me coming back more often. You can get a seriously tasty and healthy low carb bowl now that the zoodles are available. I honestly love the taste of the zoodles because they are sautéed with much flavor.
I usually get the ahi tuna poke bowl, but today the power bowl is my favorite. I had the power bowl with shrimp and had it with steak. Both times I had zoodles in place of brown rice. The power bowl contains goat cheese and a pesto dressing which makes this bowl so scrumptious and satisfying.
The guys behind the counter are very helpful and patient. The dining room is contemporary. I have minimal issues with So Fresh: They could stand to bus the tables more often. They are sometimes closed without much notice during bank holidays which is weird for a restaurant. Other than that it’s a solid restaurant for the health conscious diner.
