| - I've been wanting to try this place out for a while but it's hard for me get to it when they're only open on weekdays during my work hours. Their hours are Mon-Fri, 7am-4pm. I had read that they are a combination of businesses from the Public Market that joined forces: Soup Nancy's, Savasana Juice Company and Om Nom Bake Studio. I finally got to try it for lunch today and I'm so happy I did.
In good Yelper fashion, I opted for the Lunch Box Special so I could try a bit of everything and report my findings of each menu category to you. The Lunch Box Special comes with soup, 1/2 sandwich, a roll, a cookie and a drink. For $2 more, you can get a fresh juice. Their soups change daily but I got a vegan vegetable chowder. I couldn't even tell it was vegan because it was perfectly creamy as a chowder should be. For my sandwich, I ordered the Fig Prosciutto Grilled Cheese. I usually don't like goat cheese but the salty prosciutto and sweet fig spread complement the creaminess of the goat cheese so well in this sandwich. I can't remember exactly the name of the cookie that came in my lunch box, but it was a sandwich of two ginger cookies of some sort with a sweet buttercream filling. At first, the ginger was a bit strong but the buttercream gave it a smooth finish. Rather unique, but still very tasty. Lastly, the juice. I picked out the Kalypso Kooler and wow was it amazing. It was tart, yet sweet and totally refreshing! It's a great green juice (derived from kale, apple, lemon and ginger) to try if you've never had green juice before. What a great meal.
The service was great. The gentleman waiting on me was extremely helpful in describing the menu and providing recommendations since it was my first time there. And the food came out quickly.
The Umbrella Cafe also serves breakfast all day, which I'm really excited to try another time. In addition, they have changing daily specials. I really love seeing a place that serves up food made from scratch using ingredients that are locally sourced. This will be one of my go-to lunch spots for sure!
