| - Arrived at Sorelle on a weekday afternoon to celebrate my good friend's birthday. Because of the recent promotional posts on social media, there was already a line (wait time for ~30 minutes) even on a weekday. I previously had one of Sorelle's chocolate cupcakes with raspberry frosting and knew I had to try it again.
Sorelle specializes in gluten free, sesame free, and preservative free desserts and hot foods. I got the vanilla cupcake with raspberry frosting and the grilled cheese with vegetables. The vanilla cupcake will not be as fluffy as a non-vegan cupcake but it is still delicious. With a light, creamy, and not too sweet frosting, the cupcake base was balanced. I cannot say the same for the red velvet however as there was just something about that cupcake which was off. The sugar pearls on them made them look fancy though! The lemon donut was dense and the glaze was sweet. Though my friend thought it was a little too dense, I thought it tasted great.
The grilled cheese with veggies was accompanied with a green salad. Tastes like normal grilled cheese with veggies without any animal products. Portions of the hot food are smaller than what you would expect. But the prices probably are accounting for the ingredients. One person was around ~$20 with tax and tips.
The ordering system at Sorelle is:
1) you check in for their waiting list
2) you get called when a seat is available
3) you order and pay first: desserts are given to you right at cash but other foods are served to you as you will be given a number.
Although Sorelle has a tight space to work with (I know they would definitely flourish with increased space), I believe they managed their space well. In addition, their ordering system is efficient and enhances the organization. The staff were nice and accommodating. They worked well with the stress that comes along with the lunch rush. Because Sorelle is so specialized in baked goods (gluten free, sesame free, preservative free, etc.), they must get a lot of questions about their products which I respect the employees take the time to handle.
TLDR: Want a nice snapchat or instagram post? Sorelle is the place to be!
