I really want to like this place but it's just meh. It opened a few months ago and I was stoked to have a new place by my office. I've been here three separate times in the hopes that I'd learn to like it, but, no dice. The food is pretty flavorless -- from the description on the menu it all sounds really good but I've been super underwhelmed every time. I've tried walnut + dried cranberry salad, the spinach, date + goat cheese salad and the egg salad sandwich. All three dishes were pretty tasteless. They do have a great selection of beer and wine but as I'm going on my lunch break from work I can't really be indulging like that. It gets pretty busy but the lines moves quickly. Unfortunately after three tries I'm going to call it quits on this place, there are better options in the area. read more

5 Star Salads are a reason to jump for joy! Came here with a lunch group and every single person ordered the same thing. That was the first time that that's ever happened to me. And guess what? We all loved it! What was this amazing meal? The salmon salad. Sounds simple right? Wrong! There are many ways that this salad could have gotten messed up. Is there anything worse than dry salmon or a soggy salad? Nope. Didn't think so. This salad was neither. Honestly, the best part was the Green Goddess Dressing! I was worried that it would be a little too thick and creamy, but it was neither. It added just the right fresh flavor to my bowl of healthiness. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat the entire thing. It was massive! But, when I go back to San Francisco next year, I'll be looking forward to trying to tackle this salad again. read more

Sandwiches are super delicious and wait time is very short. The only issue for me is the sandwiches are a little bit small :)

Every time I come here for lunch I get the Green Goddess Baked Salmon Salad. It's delicious, has a ton of veggies, a nice helping of salmon, and there's the perfect amount of dressing. I tried the "Golden Boy" RAW pressed juice today and it was also really good. It had the perfect ginger kick that was a little spicy but in the best way. read more

SOMA Eats is my go-to salad spot. Sometimes I wake up in the mornings already knowing that I'm going to get SOMA Eats for lunch. I always order the Salmon Goddess Salad + goat cheese. There have been a few times where I consider getting some other items on the menu, but I honestly love the salmon salad so much I always end up ordering it anyways. Not only does the cafe have great salads/food, but they also have a huge alcohol selection (bottles to take home). I wouldn't plan on coming here to get wines, because I feel like their wine is extremely overpriced and you can find huge selections elsewhere. BUT if you're looking for a unique beer that you've probably never tried before, SOMA Eats is a great place to go. I would definitely recommend checking out SOMA Eats for lunch or dinner/happy hour sometime and enjoying a beer/wine flight with your meal! read more

Solid option for sandwiches and salads. This morning I ordered the croque madame and it weirdly has dijon mustard in it. If you like the classic version, ask for no mustard. Salmon salad is my favorite so far. It had a decent amount of salmon and really great dressing (dressing can make or break the salad, imho). read more

My friend said "meet me at SOMA Eats for lunch" and boy was I glad! I had the shrimp salad and the quality of everything included exceeded expectations. All the ingredients were fresh and clean, well presented and the dressing was light oil/vinegar with a touch of fresh lemon. Healthy serving size and I finished every last trace of it. Looking forward to going again. read more

I HATE the way you talk to me, and the way you attract a line I HATE the way you sell kombucha I HATE it when you're rude I HATE your big dumb exposed brick walls and the way your salads cross my mind I HATE you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme I HATE the way your food tastes good I HATE it when you're nearby I HATE it when you taste so good, even worse when you're kind of dry I HATE it when you're not for lunch, and the fact that my name wasn't called Mostly, I HATE the way I don't hate you, not even close... not even a little bit... not even at all read more

I do not know how I have not checked this place out before. Yesterday I ate here twice - for breakfast and lunch. I ordered an americano and the parfait. Parfait is a bit overpriced but was tasty and I like the fruit assortment. Americano was tasty and hit the spot in the morning. I then went back for lunch and got the jamaican jerk salad sandwich. It wasn't very spicy but was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to try all of their sandwiches and salads. Prices are reasonable for the area and you can order online to avoid the line. read more

Subpar eats. Opening press was good. Space impressive in both scale and design. Staff earnest and friendly and making an effort. Which made the insistence there was no mayo on the otherwise spicy and tasty turkey meatloaf sandwich all the more disappointing when it came with mayo. $10. More disappointment with the whole milk yogurt and a crunchy homemade granola parfait when the strawberries were served uncut with the stem on. $4.50. Former was remade and good if a little spicy. Latter was unimpressive in size despite the medley of honey, blackberries, blueberries and the aforementioned strawberry. Americano was forgotten almost as soon as the cup was composted. Nonfat milk is not an option. $3. For these prices expect flawless production, presentation and product. Unfortunately SoMa Eats has a few flaws. read more

SOMA Eats is a somewhat hipster-y sandwich and salad place in an industrial-ish area. The decor is and presentation are incredibly nice -- they have beautiful wood tables and sandwiches are served on a cutting board with a sheet of paper folded into a triangle. But all that becomes unimportant if a restaurant doesn't have what matters most -- great food. The sandwiches here are pretty mediocre. I got the Roasted Turkey Sandwich, which was supposed to have "herbed goat cheese spread" but couldn't taste any cheese. It's nothing you couldn't make at home in 5 minutes if you had turkey, guac, and spring mix. Others in my group got the turkey meatloaf sandwich (he ended throwing out most of the meatloaf) and the pulled pork sandwich ("it's pretty tasteless"). Overall, the sandwiches here seem small/not very filling, and come with a ton of bread compared to what's in the sandwich. read more

Great eat in or take out lunch spot right by the office. Super convenient and always delicious. My go-to is the Salmon Green Goddess Salad - the salmon is marinated and delicious and is never overcooked and dry. The ingredients always taste super fresh and the dressing is lightly creamy and delicious. I always appreciate a well-oiled operation. They have separate registers for eat in and take out/order ahead which keeps any lines moving fast and efficiently. When I order to-go, I never wait more than a couple minutes for my food. Lastly, I love the decor and ambiance at Soma Eats. The copper bar is beautiful and the turquoise accents are fun and interesting. All around a great new addition to the lunch rotation. read more

Do you and your friends love to eat lunch here? Do you want to give the gift of future lunches by buying gift cards to give during the holidays? Think again! At the counter, I'm informed they only sell gift cards online. After searching for a frustrating ten minutes, I figure out that their mobile website does not include a link to do so. The desktop version does, but I would have to buy them one at a time, in ten different transactions. By this point I've lost my holiday cheer and took my $200 to Proper Foods. read more

Happy to have a new dining option in the neighborhood! Welcome! I decided to pop in during my lunch break to check this place out. The menu is fresh and healthy. I opted for the Salmon Salad with their homemade Greek Goddess dressing. The salad was tasty and the portion was good for a to go lunch. I noticed that if you dine-in the salad portion does appear to be a big bigger. They had a large selection of beers and wines, which makes it a great place for a quick happy hour after work! The space is large, airy, and clean. The staff was great and my order was processed really quickly. I look forward to trying some of the other menu options - specifically the pulled pork sandwich, salmon nicoise sandwich, and their breakfast items :) read more

Had the devilled egg sandwich for lunch and it was delish. Lunch companion wanted the roast lamb sandwich but it was sold out, so settled for the pulled pork which was also good. Okay crowded, nice ambience with high ceilings. In the same league as la boulangerie and mazarine cafés as a cosy lunch spot. read more

Sat down for an after work drink, the bar had one other person. (I was early for happy hour I guess.) Even with four or five people behind the counter, I waited 10 minutes with no one even acknowledging me. I finally gave up and went to Anchor and Hope around the corner. (If you haven't been there, definitely check it out - fantastic beer menu and great food.) I only gave two stars because they do have a decent beer menu, with some unique stuff on tap. read more

Admittedly an expensive lunch but worth the splurge when you are 1) needing a relatively fast lunch 2) wanting it to be pretty healthy and 3) willing to put up with fairly limited selection. The salmon goddess salad and new Greek (rotisserie chicken) are both substantive enough to be lunch entrees and do a good job including a lot of variety and good level of dressing. The pulled pork sandwich - served hot! - is a satisfying complement if you're visiting SOMA Eats with a sharing minded friend. An extensive cooler of non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks makes for a good picnic stop if the day is nice and you happen to eat the food outside. Or if you just forgot you were supposed to bring a 6-pack to that potluck downtown. Lineup at lunchtime seems long and intimidating but it moves quickly and the limited menu makes production speedy. If you want to dine there for whatever reason make sure you schedule your meal before 11:30 or after 2. The space is small and they get crowded! read more

I popped in here for a healthy lunch today and ordered the Roasted Vegetable Salad + Chicken. Holy salad heaven, it was absolutely delicious!!! ...Jam packed with roasted eggplant {this is what sold me!}, roasted bell peppers, pickled red onions, toasted pine nuts, shaved parmesan cheese, cherry tomatoes, mixed greens, baby kale & romaine with the most amazing mustard vinaigrette. I am so bummed that I don't live SF because this salad would definitely be a regular for me! I may have to try to re-create it in PHX! read more

Ok.... this place is heaven. Fridge full of hand selected craft beers. Amazing service, and great fresh food. Got the deviled egg sandwich, wish I had ten more. I work close to the Belmont liquor store, a great bodega that focuses on ordering healthy snacks /food and drinks for the tenderloin. When I was told to come to soma eats (owned by the same family) it was pushed to the top of my list. Now I'm here, chilling after work, listening to my favorite jams (Kendrick Lamar) drinking a beer and having a sandwich. Life is perfect? Yup. read more

I work fairly close by to this eatery, but have never been. At around 12:45, I decided to grab lunch. There was NO line at that time and plenty of tables. I feel like I really lucked out, since this is a recipe for a popular spot. I ordered the salmon nicoise sandwich, with salmon, egg, garlic aioli, etc.. It also came with a side of season edamame. I ate half my sandwich and was completely satisfied. I was able to eat the second half for dinner. It looks like there's a nice happy hour scene, so next time i will definitely check that out. TMI: The bathrooms are clean and the TP is quality, not the single ply gross kind. read more

We ordered breakfast to go from SOMA and it was such a nice treat! The perfect morning pick-me-up. Truth be told, you have my heart with any type of lox or salmon sandwich, and their version did not disappoint! The breakfast sandwich was piled high with smoked salmon, tomato, cucumber, and a surprising swipe of wasabi cream cheese, all served on fluffy, crusty, and flour-dusted bread. It was delicious and the perfect start to a busy morning of meetings! read more

Simple, quick, healthy, great drink selection for all types. One of my favorite lunch spots in SF -JQC read more

Admittedly, I may have lived in the city for too long if I think a salad with both chicken and avocado for under $10 is a great deal. BUT. Hear me out! SOMA Eats is a super fast and easy lunch option, and I was in and out of there in 5 minutes with my "New Greek" (pulled chicken, almonds, avocado, sun-dried tomato tapenade, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, mixed greens, baby kale and romaine with a Greek yogurt dressing). I'll be back for a tasty salad, and potentially a lunch time beer. read more

Thanks to Audrey A - I found my new go-to: the turkey meatloaf sandwich. Mid day comfort food to help you through the week! Other things to try: BLT & Zataar egg sandwich Deviled egg salad sandwich The salads are good too - but their sandwiches are the stand out winners for me. This place gets a bit nuts during lunch but order ahead and you won't have to waste your lunch break standing in line. And this place is adorable - wonderful design and colors that just make you happy! read more

I'm sitting at Soma Eats right now waiting for a friend to get off work, so I thought I might as well write a review. The food was surprisingly good. I've heard a lot of people talk about this place so I'm glad I had the chance to hit up this joint today. To start off, the space is huge with high ceilings and a vast selection of beer and wines in the back. I ordered the turkey meatloaf sandwich, which tasted amazing when I first bit into it. The Indian spices were unique and flavorful. I would highly recommend it if you're hungry and in the mood for some "comfort" food. I also had the Greek salad which was a whopping $12 but I suppose it was a decent portion. I can't fathom how people blow money on expensive salads everyday... Anyway, I also had the tomato soup here, the soup of the day. This was really heavy and gross, which is why I deducted one star. The soup texture was more like gravy sauce. Also, it tasted spicy! What kind of tomato soup is this?! Skip the soups, guys. Overall, I would come back here again. Nice ambience and awesome music playlist. The Weeknd is playing in the back as I'm currently typing... read more

Nice fresh,healthy and tasty salad. Good for a nutritious lunch. I had the spinach goats cheese salad. read more

SOMA Eats - Salad Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was looking for a cafe to get some work done so came across soma eats during my hunt. Came to the place with REALLY HIGH expectations as it looked really nice. Started to order my food and since they only have mostly salads and sandwiches, I went with the sandwich and the lady taking my order said they are out of bread. WAIT WHAT ? how does someone run out of bread when half your menu consists of sandwiches and it's only 12pm. I'm not the type to get mad and leave a place if one thing is off so, I decided to order something from their breakfast menu. I went for the breakfast burrito and next thing you know they are out of potatoes as well lol. Sorry if this was just a bad day to come in but, I am never going back to soma eats - EVER AGAIN. Oh not to mention their bathrooms were also out of order. Atleast this whole situation made me giggle about how I have such bad luck when I'm trying to get work done. read more

The salmon was tender and the salad was fresh. There was no lineup during lunch. The interior is modern. read more

SOMA Eats - Baked Salmon Green Goddess Salad - Salad Near Me - San Francisco, California

"What should I eat for lunch today?" Working in Downtown SF and not a bring your own lunch type, that is my daily question! One of my coworkers came across SOMA Eats. This was my first time here, so I stood on the side going through Yelp pictures and reviews until I knew what to order. With my Yelp research I concluded to order the TURKEY MEATLOAF SANDWICH. It seemed to be a fan favorite and now one of my favorites! AMAZING!!!! If you don't know what to get, there it is! Each bite was juicy and full of flavor! I was pretty into the sandwich I was sad when I discovered I didn't have any left. Also, a side of edamame comes with your order! If I could separate from my turkey meatloaf sandwich there are many other choices I can't wait to try. Usually busy during lunch hours, but food is made pretty fast! If you spot a table I recommend you sit and enjoy the airy social ambiance! Definitely top spots for lunch. Go! Go! Go! Breaking News: They aren't open on weekends! *cry face* read more

SOMA Eats - When you discover Soma Eats has "Order Pickup" & you parade to the front of the lunch crowd! #perf - Salad Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place makes a mean Almond Milk Latte in the AM, and a great salad in the PM. Their sandwich list looks awesome, (haven't tried on yet, but my coworkers have and they said they were pretty darn good), and the drink selection (beers, whiskies, kombuchas, you name it) is pretty darn spectacular for it's size. Only complaint is that it's a little pricier than it needs to be, but hey, I guess that's SOMA for you. read more

SOMA Eats is about as good as it gets for a quick lunch during the work week. I end up here at least once a week, mostly whenever my coworkers don't get together for lunch. They have a "to-go" order line, and I've never waited more that 3 minutes to get a salad. It's incredibly fast and convenient. read more

I was very excited to see Sweet Amber Distillery's Blackened Whiskey listed SOMA Eats as a local retailer here in the City. I walked over during my lunch break today and selected one of the two bottles of Blackened I had located on the bottle shop's retail wall. Upon taking the bottle to the counter with my credit card in hand, the clerk told me to wait and then got on a phone. I was then told that I could not purchase the bottle with no explanation given. I asked if I could purchase the second bottle of Blackened still on the retail shelf. Again, I was told "no." I asked the clerk why they stock the product and list themselves as a retailer on the distillery's website but do not sell their displayed stock to customers - that was met with no explanation again. I was dumbfounded but understood the clerk was not making the decision obviously. Hopefully, Sweet Amber will take some action with respect to SOMA Eats future bottle allocations for this and any of their other products as I let them know about my awful experience as well. There are far too many classier and customer-friendly spirits retailers in the City for me to ever bother with the shady nonsense that is SOMA Eats ever again. read more

I stopped in for breakfast and had the oatmeal, which was delicious! Steel Cut Oats, sweetened with honey, topped off with crunchy granola and fresh cut fruit and lots of fruit! This is my new favorite oatmeal! I would have given them 5 stars but the service still needs some work. read more

SOMA Eats - Oatmeal topped with Fresh Fruit - Salad Near Me - San Francisco, California

Just tried this place on 2nd and Howard that just opened. It has everything I could want for a quick pickup from morning to evening. Coffee and oatmeal for breakfast, lamb sandwich (super tasty by the way) for lunch and a great beer and wine selection to grab on the way home from work - or happy hour with your buddies. The staff was friendly and helpful. Service was fast and the ambiance is really nice with a Mediterranean flair. Looks like they have a soft opening and will be getting more chairs and tables for people to eat and hang out. I think this place only gets better. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. Will definitely be back. read more

Super inconsistent! Have had great salads here in person, but just got one to-go that was a joke. 13 bucks for barely any lettuce and a few ingredients, definitely feel a bit price gauged. Prime real estate and a great whiskey selection, but if you're going to charge top tier prices let's see some execution. read more

Pulled pork sandwich is pretty good. All the hot sandwiches take really long to make during lunch hours. Dude there claims the average wait time to be around 5 mins max, I waited for 20. If you're looking to grab a quick meal, salad is the way to go here! read more

Great little spot for a work break and midday beer/wine/cider. The salads are huge and have a nice proportion of protein to greens (half-half almost!). It's best if you sit at the bar so you have quick access to refills if needed. read more

SOMA Eats - Salmon green goddess salad - Salad Near Me - San Francisco, California

I always order the lamb sandwich. The lamb sandwich is ridiculously good. They have a lot of pastries that look amazing, but I've never got any of those. It's usually packed for lunch and doesn't look super cozy to eat there, but I always order to go. I don't know. I think this lamb sandwich may ruin me. read more

Not only is this the home of my absolute favorite salad in the FiDi, these guys are also just the nicest, kindest people. Today, after getting my salad, I walked outside, rolled my ankle and fell splat in the middle of the street. Someone stopped to ask if I was alright and all I could say was, "My salad!," which was now strewn across the roadway. I threw what I could scrape up in the nearest compost bin, walked back to the shop, and they looked at me, gave me a towel for my hands, asked if I needed any bandaids and handed me another salad, just like that. Such kind people. If I could give them 100 stars, I would. read more

YES. So happy this is by my place. The menu is pretty simple. There's about 5 sandwiches, just as many salads. All super fresh with seasonal ingredients. I had a hard time making a decision, but ended up with the lamb sandwich. WHOA. Delish. They are very friendly, the place is extremely clean, and would be a great place for breakfast, lunch, or a quick happy hour and bite after work. read more
