verbatim, from Google
“A win for the corporate girlies. It’s one of those spots where you can grab something nourishing without it feeling heavy or boring. I went for a customized bowl to get the nutrients that I need for a busy day ahead. The vibe inside is calm with wooden tones.”
“Nice place for breakfast, For much the corn side salad is the best”
“Had the turkey meatball bowl - meatballs were great, love the pasta salad and pesto dressing! Nancy and the team were super nice as well :)”
“Modern warm ambience! Healthy nourishing food!! Small selection but worth it! Easy to park in front of the place temporarily parking metered.”
“The food is tasty 😋 I was surprised. Everything is good. Just tables wasn't clean”
“I’ve ordered several bowls from here and the amount of food is generally pretty decent. They came out with this new thing called plates. And after ordering it, I’m realizing it’s just a way to provide way less food at the same cost. A plate with maybe half a scoop of each of the items included was $25. Insanely overpriced for the amount of food provided.”
“I recently visited Fare restaurant and unfortunately had a disappointing experience due to the service. • Employee Attitude: The employee I encountered seemed to have a significant attitude issue. When I greeted her with a simple “hi,” she pretended not to hear me. • Ignored Requests: After waiting for a few minutes without acknowledgment, I asked her about my order, but she didn’t respond. • Lack of Assistance: When I requested help from someone else, she simply walked away and went into the back, leaving me without assistance. Overall, the lack of professionalism and courtesy was disappointing. I hope the management addresses this issue, as it detracted from what could have been an enjoyable meal.”
“Everything here is great! From bfast smoothies to lunch and take home to dinner. I had and done it all. SO GOOD YUMMY...”
“Fresh, delicious, healthy variety of options with quick service. Highly recommend for lunch. Limited seating. A few booths and some tables w benches.”
