I didn't know what to expect from The Soup Factory, but I liked what I found! I visited around noon on a weekday and the place was hopping with what seemed to be a local business crowd. I ordered the Cheesy Caprese sandwich and loved it. I sampled some of the soups as well and all were good, but maybe not great. There are about 8 different varieties of soup to choose from each day, everything from different chilis to stews to bisques--you won't get bored. And a regular menu of salads and sandwiches is available. Friendly, hard-working staff.
