Soup Shoppe - Riverside

Soup Shoppe was just fine. My friend and I decided to give this place a shot of breakfast and were not impressed. Our initial hopes were high because the ambience is cute and it has pretty good reviews, but the food fell from our expectations. If you're going inside, you feel like you're going to someone's house. The service is also excellent. We went to breakfast and the place was packed, but our server was attentive and kept our coffee filled. I ordered a basic breakfast and everything was super fat. Under my bacon was a fat pool and even my eggs were shiny. There was so much fat that I had to use a whole napkin to scatter the whole surplus, not a good look safe. The taste of the food was best moderate. When I go to eat, at least I want the food to be prepared better than I can do myself. I didn't feel like eating was something special. The pancakes were tiny and very simple. There was nothing to deal with them. I asked for my hash-browns well made and they came at best soft and mushy. I would try this place again, but for the time I will leave Soup Shoppe at 3 stars.

Came here and service was fast. Loved the biscuits and gravy and the omelette was yummy. I enjoyed the apple juice too. Prices were affordable and was not disappointed.

My number one favorite in Riverside. I've been hankering for a tuna melt and the Soup Shop was nearby as I was in town. I miss the dine in experience. I'm happy to support small businesses. They have an abbreviated Covid menu but you can't go wrong with your choice. I like that they give you extra mustard for their potato salad. The tuna melt was toasted to perfection.

This place was O.K, food was O.K, service was good, good prices but not memorable at all. I ordered a bagel sandwich but the bagel tasted cheap. My friend ordered the French toast combo and said it was ok. It wasn?t horrible so maybe it was what we ordered that might of not been the best. I did notice that a lot of their customers go there frequently, so maybe there are other things on the menu that are worth tasting.

This is one of those adorably cute spots that you just don't bring your LA judgement/hyper-critical alter ego to. Come here knowing this is a local favorite and an old fashioned diner. I loved all of the locals that venture here. There is such a friendly atmosphere here and the food (not judging like I typically do of LA spots) was good. I thoroughly enjoyed my Chicken Fried Steak and eggs. The gravy was creamy and perfectly paired with the steak. I could barely walk out of the diner after the large portions of my breakfast. My fiance enjoyed their Breakfast Sandwich with sausage. This came as sandwich rather than the expected croissant or another soft bread. The sandwich overall was good, he may try another breakfast item on our second trip over. Service was simply incredible, we had the lovely waitress that just made us feel we were in her own home kitchen. For my fellow LA people, this is a cozy diner with only the best of company. Those seeking fancy brunches will be disappointed. But those seeking cozy breakfast to start their day will simply fall in love with this local spot.
