Great Lunch Spot!

Bowl is a great little cafe! I drive by it daily and always wanted to check it out. It has a very cozy and quaint atmosphere with the full menu on the wall behind the counter. They had a great selection of salads from customized or suggested ones, with an enormous array of different fresh veggies to choose from. Def recommend if you are vegetarian/vegan. They also have sadwiches that come with some really great kettle style chips, pizza, and specialty soups! The manager/owner Ralph was very friendly and helpful explaining all the different options and how everything is made. I ordered the Executive Grilled Cheese half sandwich(looks more like a whole) and salad combo which was more than enough! I opted for no mustard and onions and it was really delicious! I will def be back to try the Vegas Elvis!

Delicious, light, and healthy

This is the place to go if you have a hankering for something healthy. The salads are great- you can build your own, or the pre-assembled ones are delicious. The dressings are super yummy and the default is to serve it on the side, which is fantastic.

The one minus is they need some sides. I'm a hungry graduate student and I would love to have some fresh made bread with butter on the side, or an order of fries, or caprese.

The atmosphere is great and the prices are friendly. Odds are we will be back especially during the holiday season when it's harder to mind your diet. There is wine you can get, and both inside and the patio offer a nice place for a date. A group was also having some kind of meeting there when we visited.

Hit and Miss

I went there for the salad, so I was surprised that the salad dressings were not great. The vinaigrette was separated (not emulsified) and very tart (and I like tart). I did try several dressings and all the vinaigrettes were the same in that regard. The Thai / pulled pork sandwich was great and I will be back for that alone. Looking forward to trying more of their sandwiches.

UPDATE: My husband went there during the week to try another sandwich. He tried half of one and half of another. The chicken salad sandwich was terrific. The executive grilled cheese was NOT GOOD. It does not mention the other items like avocado, onion, mustard--which, according to him, did not mingle well. One thing to note is it took almost 40 minutes to get his order (for one person), so he will not be back during the week due to time constraints.

• Pros: Sandwiches
• Cons: Salad Dressing

Pizza is to-die-for! Fresh made-to-order salads

by htownmoma at Citysearch

Bowl Cafe has the best personal pizzas ive ever eaten!. Super thin crust made to order over fire brick with the freshest ingredients. Incredible. The salads are fresh and made to order with any combination of ingredients. I Love the lemon tarragon dressing. I think the best item on the menu has to be the Executive Grilled Cheese! Apples and melted white cheese on fresh grilled bread. Awesome little patio garden for cooler weather dining.

• Pros: Scrumptious Pizza and Executive Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
