Humboldt Soup Company

I have been meaning to write a review for this gem of a place for some time now. I have only taken advantage of the convenient drive-thru in the many years I have been a dedicated patron, so I can only speak of that experience. It is surprising to me that Humboldt doesn’t have more drive-thru restaurants that provide a unique variety of healthy, freshly made food utilizing local products. The staff has always been super friendly, even when really busy, and I must mention Emma particularly who is simply a joy to interact with. The dishes I regularly order, which I can confidently and highly recommend, are the Chicken & Black Bean Salad (tip: ask for extra pita strips, they bake them in-house and they add great crunch), Coconut Curry Chicken Soup and most recently I tried their Avocado Toast, and now I’m obsessed! Nice thick slice of wheat bread toasted (think they bake it in-house), pesto, fresh avocado slices, topped with soft-boiled eggs and pickled red onions. Add some salt and pepper (they offer little packs of salt and pepper, so ask for it) and it is a perfect meal, especially on the go. Their Basil and Mango Ice Teas are delicious as well. I’m SO grateful this place exists, thank you Humboldt Soup Company!

This place was recommended to me by a local, and although there's lots to pick from, the food didn't have very much of a taste. I imagined the roast beef would be hot, but it's a cold sandwich, the meat is dry, and chewy. The 🍠 potato chips are okay too, they were slightly burned. The quinoa pudding or whatever that was called was also tasteless, probably the best part of the order was the cookie 🍪. They do make their own sodas. Also, the young lady Ema at the front counter was so nice and welcoming. Their stroganoff was also not good, I went there specifically for that, but it had that same dry chewy meat, and it just didn't have a flavor. Including the 10.00 tip it was about 55.00 for everything pictured.

Great food, well made. Ate lunch here today. Ordered Stroganoff, Clam chowder, Fried Bacon Tots and Macaroni and Cheese. The Stroganoff is VERY rich in sauce flavor, Clamps chowder was mehhhh... which was surprising considering it is a SOUP restaurant (but it could just be me. We brought left overs home - my hubby will eat later, will update). He loved the Tots and Mac n Cheese.

So delicious. The service is always friendly. The food is always good and there’s a lot to choose from. Just had the Thai chicken salad which was yummy. My recommendation would be to add some sriracha, which was only missing because I’m on the road today. Might have to get a mini bottle lol

OK place for soup, sandwiches and bowls. Bit expensive for the quantity. Food quality was decent. Sweet potato fries/chips served as side was a joke. They had maybe 4-5 chips as a side 😄. Falafel bowl was poor. Only two tiny falafel balls in the bowl and bunch of quinoa.
Unique thing we saw on the menu was jackfruit wrap, which was tasty!
