As somebody has mentioned in a review before, Springbone Kitchen fills a niche appealing to the low-carb/ketogenic/paleo crowd. Their menu is focused around their bone broth with options to add healthy, grass-fed fats to the mix. I was really excited to hear about this place when it first opened because I've never seen a place offer something similar. While I am accustomed to adding grass-fed butter to my coffee and food, I have found that adding it to everything was not particularly appealing to most people. I appreciate that the spaghetti in their "spaghetti" and meatballs has been replaced with zucchini noodles (zoodles). While NYC is a utopia of endless food options, there aren't actually many places that offer much else outside of salad and/or other modified menu items if you're trying to have something low-carb. I love having a hot cup of bone broth during the colder, winter months. It's a comforting alternative to other sweetened, cafe beverages and excellent to grab on the go. During my last visit, the place had to shut down earlier than expected because of kitchen issues, and my food had still not come out yet. The staff apologized and offered me a free refill on my bone broth as an act of goodwill. Although I didn't get a chance to sit down and enjoy my food right away, I gladly accepted and went on my way with broth in hand. read more

I'm a huge fan. 1st of all- the owner, or who I presume to be the owner is widely attractive. While this doesn't add to the quality of the food it adds to the quality of the experience in dining. 2nd- the food is great. Not only is the broth hearty and delicious the food is reminiscent of a home cooked meal that I miss so dearly. The chicken and rice, disclaimer: wild rice, is packed full of vegetables and delicious eats. Highly recommend. But my favorite thing here and maybe overpriced but for me worth it- is the eggs. What a wonderful breakfast the rich and creamy scrambled eggs blow my mind. Get a side of bacon and toast and I've never had anything better. read more

My favorite spot for broth!! I try to incorporate "gut healing foods" especially when the temperatures drop. Bone broth/broth in general always makes me feel SO much better after i drink it. Springbone Kitchen has an awesome menu, and filled with gluten free options. I usually opt for the Grandma's Chicken and Rice Bowl (free range chicken, spanish bone broth rice, cabbage + Brussels sprouts) and the classic chicken broth butttt if i feel like i'm coming down with something i'll get the Immunity Broth with ginger, garlic, and vitamin C. Sometimes i'll add in collagen to my broth also! Springbone has an awesome variety of different add-ins/options such as hot sauce, lemon wedge, kimchi, rice, etc... If you don't want rice in your bowl you can get quinoa or sweet potatoes (or even get those as sides). I really like Springbone Kitchen as they're definitely more "health" focused, but also go back to the basics. Growing up my mom ALWAYS made me drink bone broth/soups during the winter season saying it was super healthy for me, and only recently has bone broth been given a moment in the sun. Read up on the benefits and definitely try it! read more

Sheesh! One of the least satisfying lunches I've had in ages. And it was $20. I have been eating gluten-free and sometimes vegan for a little while now and love trying new gluten-free friendly places. But that doesn't mean I enjoy unseasoned food. 4 letters - SALT or you know, anything on a spice rack would help. So I decided to try the grass-fed burger on gluten free bun with guacamole and a side of roasted sweet potatoes. The potatoes were tough and flavorless. The burger exceedingly bland. Thank god for the guacamole or else nothing would have been really edible. Perhaps other things on the menu are where they shine, but just skip the burger and the sweet potatoes, oh and the carrot fries since their fryer is broken, and the smoothies cause their blender is broken....meh read more

Love this little place! They take the time to perfect healthy dishes that would take hours to make at home. I ordered the burger with gluten free bread and my friend ordered the salmon bowl and we shared. The burger was juicy and perfectly cooked. The salmon was pan seared and served with its crispy skin. The bowl had a well balanced Mediterranean flavor with a tomato paste, quinoa, olives and kale. Will def be back soon! read more

Healthy food does not have to be bland, but every time I eat food from a "healthy" place they seem to omit necessary seasoning. Even a fresh off the farm truly organic chicken needs some salt and pepper. I got the Mexican bowl, described thus: "Organic wild rice, black beans, organic chicken, a trio of housemade Mexican toppings -- pico de gallo, salsa verde, and guacamole (not extra!) -- and a shot of chicken bone broth" Man, don't try to win me over from Chipotle by making that "no extra for guac" quip. That chain may have fallen out of favor but what got them popular was bold flavor, that's not here. The chicken really needs to be seasoned. There's no sauce on the meat so it's dry rice and beans and chicken, with a smattering of salsa and guac. It doesn't come together, and I was really NOT a fan of the rice in particular. The carrot "fries" are just grilled carrots cut into a fry shape. The chili and "zoodiles" (zucchini noodles, if you want to sound post-pubescent when ordering) were options that tasted closer to normal food. Clearly not for me but the ratings are great so hey, take this as a review from a person who still won't touch quinoa or kale. read more

I got the grandmas chicken and rice and it was beyond amazing. Their cookies are delicious and paleo. The service was great! Small menu but filled with great, filling healthy choices. They also serve breakfast all day. read more

I really love the idea of Springbone Kitchen - serving wholesome meals that are high quality and good for you. I ordered the chicken zoodle soup with an added egg and a side of brussel sprouts. Known for their broths, I have to say as I was sipping it on the train the flavor came through and it was instantly soothing ! They give a huge portion of chicken, but I thought they could have put less chicken and more zoodles because the ratio seemed off. The brussel sprouts were good but I thought they could have used some more flavor. I would definitely try the broth again but maybe with a different combination and some of their other popular dishes ! read more

High-quality beef and chicken bone broth for the Paleo eaters out there. This place is pretty tiny; one table and some window stool seats. Not the best place to hang with a group of friends, but a good spot to meet up with one person. As far as healthy, organic options in NYC, it doesn't get much better than this. read more

Really interesting concept. I have always liked the bone broth in pho. To think there's a shop that sells these broth as an attraction! Nicely lit. Long tables with outlets and wifi if you'd like to work here. read more

Restaurants like Springbone are one of the reasons I miss living in NY! It is so hard to find quality food that is not only gluten-free, but also paleo and Keto friendly! I moved to FL several years ago and it is so challenging to eat out and find quality ingredients. We shared a chicken zoodle bone broth, "spaghetti" and meatballs and a grass fed burger with carrot fried. Everything was spectacular! I can't wait to come up in the summer and try the ice cream that everyone raves about! This spot is definitely one to check out! read more

This is the place I've been searching for. The place that serves food like I cook for myself. The food was healthy (truly healthy with wholesome and natural ingredients), had great flavor, and was perfectly filling. 4 stars though because I have a complaint. The staff was entirely unhelpful. I asked a question about the tea, cashier didn't know. I also felt like they shoved me out the door so even though I ordered to eat there, I ended up leaving and ate at home. read more

Everything I've had from Springbone has exceeded my expectations. The immunity broth and the barbacoa bowl are my fav.

This place has amazing bone broth. It's an interesting concept to sip broth from to go drink cups but it def works especially when it's cold and raining outside. read more

Cute small shop - common table (seats up to 8) and bar table seating (4 stools) by window. Will be back to try the highlighted bone broths but this time I just got their spaghetti and meatballs (off lunch and dinner menu) to go. Pretty filling and very tasty! read more

Came here for dinner while we were on the Whole30. I got the large chicken broth and a burger. The broth was delicious. Full of flavor, served piping hot, drinking it made you feel so loved, hugged and nurtured! The burger with portobello mushroom as bun was grilled perfectly, loved that fresh grilled flavor! SO SO good! Met one of the owners there, surprised he spoke Mandarin!! Keep up the excellent work, next location: East Harlem! DO IT! read more

Ordered Springbone for the first time today and really enjoyed it. I got the Mexican Bowl which was great... only 1 thing... it was missing chicken. Is that how it comes or was this a mistake? The menu says: Mexican Bowl bone broth Spanish rice, black beans, free-range chicken, guac, pico de gallo, salsa verde and side of chicken bone broth This makes me think they forgot to add the chicken. read more

Delicious broth!!! The owner was very helpful with correcting our order, great customer service. Look forward to ordering again!

Pretty impressive burger read the Paleo bun. Love the bone broth. Lots of great healthy options read more

UPDATE: Spoke with Sam from Springbone Kitchen and discussed my experience. Since I appreciate the gesture and open/honest dialogue, I'm providing an update to my review. I'll visit Springbone again within the next couple of weeks to re-evaluate the food and service. Came here for a snack since I've walked by multiple times and was excited to check it out. Honestly, the food was subpar (scrambled eggs with bacon and avocado mash). They forgot the "avocado mash" with my eggs. However, the service was the worst part. There were about 5 employees standing behind the counter not doing a single thing (or just eating and talking, I guess that counts as doing something). When I discovered that they forgot my "avocado mash", I went back and asked for something which I paid for. The workers couldn't be bothered and were pretty nonchalant, but someone ended up plopping the "mash" on my eggs anyway. Pretty terrible customer service. It's not like they were slammed and couldn't remember the third ingredient (eggs, bacon, and "avocado mash"). Regret stopping by here and regret giving a tip (initially) even more so. read more

LOVE this place. The location is small and cute. Most patrons seem to take their food and go since there is about 15 seats or so. When we arrived we greeted by a young man and were offered samples because they have two different broths. My family and I decided to order a few things and split which was wildly successful. Their chicken zoodle soup is tasty and perfect for a cold day. We also enjoyed a burger which was delicious! We also had the zoodles and meatballs which was tasty and last but not least the carrot fries were BOMB!!! This location also offers a variety of snacks/sweets sold by other vendors so if you have food allergies you must check out this place. Thank you Springbone for providing quality and tasty food that accommodates my GF and DF self! read more

Love the concept and the little cafe is adorable design and decor-wise but definitely won't be coming back for the food. The average lunch bowl costs $12 - $13 and the portion size is TINY and they take forever to give you your food. This is a tiny pay-at-the-counter place where you pick up your own food from the counter. For $12 I'd expect lunch that's atleast moderately filling. Not the size of a small appetizer salad and served in a flimsy paper bowl. So I'm pregnant and originally ordered the Grandma's chicken and rice. Some of The chicken pieces in the bowl were still a little pink in places and looked partially uncooked to me. I pointed it out to the staff and had to explain I'm pregnant and can't eat uncooked meat but they insisted that the brine they used to cook the chicken made it pink (only in some spots apparently). I had to repeat a couple of times that the meat definitely looked a little uncooked and I can't take the risk of eating it while pregnant and they finally let me change my order. Definitely not worth the price as there are plenty of healthy lunch options in the area that are cheaper and more filling. Maybe for you if you like the whole marketing around bone broth but the foods nothing special. Won't be back here anytime soon. read more

Springbone Kitchen - Tiniest bowl of spaghetti (zucchini) and meatballs I've had for lunch. - Soup Near Me - New York, New York

Part of what makes eating healthy hard for me is how lazy I am when it comes to food prep. Springbone looked interesting because the food looked healthy (without me having to food prep) and yummy - a true win win situation. Even better, I tried to "spaghetti and meatballs" and in addition to looking yummy it tasted yummy. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more things on their menu. read more

I've been coming here for the past several months to pick up dinner to eat during my evening grad classes, and it's become a staple pick up spot. The food is simple, delicious, and portion sizes are pretty decent. I find the salted wild looking rice base to have good umami on its own, and the additions with each of the different bowls are super flavorful. I do recommend for Springbone to increase the ratio of toppings to rice as it's sometimes sadly sparse. Service is friendly and relatively fast when I order at the counter, probably ~10 mins. Price is a bit on the high side for a fast casual type place, so I can't eat here everyday unfortunately. Wish they could offer some combo choices with the salads as well to add variety. read more

We found this gem near are friends place, and we were excited. Just switched to a Keto lifestyle and wanted to try Butter Coffee, and Bone Broth. Knocked them both out on our 1st day in the city and can't wait to head back there again before our departure. A great resource for those on a Keto lifestyle, if I lived in the city, I am pretty sure I would not cook ever, I would just hit this place and do takeout. It made my wife and I excited to see the flavors and possibilities available in a Keto Lifestyle. read more

This is the only time I've given a one-star rating on Yelp. Springbone has decent food, but the service is appalling. Springbone opened at 10am EST today. So I called at 10:10am to put in a pick up order. The woman who answered the phone told me that they are not ready to take orders, over the phone or in person. I asked for how long, and she said the next hour. Seriously? Yes, Springbone is already open, but they're refusing to take orders. Have you ever gone to a restaurant that just ignores its working hours and tells you they'd rather not work? This isn't my only brush with the store's poor service. On five occasions I've called ahead for scrambled eggs and a side of bacon. And on three of those occasions, my order took longer than 20 minutes to make. Even if I didn't call ahead, I wouldn't expect to wait so long for simple food at an eatery that styles itself as fast and casual. I was really excited when Springbone opened, but became equally disappointed once I interacted with the staff. read more

I was drawn into Springbone by the allure of a nice hot cup of chicken bone broth on a cold November day. The restaurant is located right off of NYU campus and past Washington Square Park, so there is definitely competition for solid lunch joints along the way. Springbone definitely provides a hearty, healthy, and tasty meal, but I'd be remiss if I didn't critique a couple of things: Firstly, the place was pretty packed. Going in at 1:30PM on a Wednesday, I was surprised to see all of the tables were filled up, many of them with people doing work on their laptops. I personally feel that there are a lot of coffee shops and other places to post up with a book or laptop, but given how small Springbone is, I would have loved to have the opportunity to sit down and enjoy my meal. Secondly, the price. I understand the competitive pricing model ($11/12 for a bowl, $5/7 for a small/medium bone broth), but the portion sizing of the bowl left much to be desired. Comparing to other fast casual restaurants, I would price the quantity I received at around $9/10. This isn't a huge deal, but definitely something to consider if you're looking for a filling meal. Lastly, the food; I absolutely loved the bowl! I got the Grandma's chicken and rice which was flavored perfectly and had a great number of consistencies to constantly keep the dish interesting. I particularly enjoyed the brussel sprouts and drizzling the chicken bone broth on top. FYI - they do give you utensils and napkins now. What left me underwhelmed was the plain chicken bone broth. I have had Brodo before and really preferred that to this broth - it tasted a lot more full and flavorful. If I'd recommend anything to you before going to Springbone, it would be to get the chicken broth with a splash of chili oil or some other flavor to round out the taste. All in all, I had a great experience here and would definitely come back again. Removed one star for the aforementioned but all in all liked this spot and am excited to try more options here! read more

Healthy and tasty food! I love the liquid gold broth - it's the perfect mix of coconut milk and turmeric. Flavorful but not heavy. A great surprise here is there breakfast - I love the simple scrambled eggs. read more

Springbone is truly amazing. But yes, the price isn't, hence the 4 stars. I remember seeing pictures of the bone broth on a friend's instagram, but didn't truly discover Springbone til I stumbled upon a deal on Gilt City. I ended up buying a voucher with a value of $50 for dine in or take out for $25. Now with that price I would deem the food worth it. Yes, I get it. The food is healthy, fresh, gluten free, etc. - which means a higher price point, but I really don't find certain items worth it. Zucchini Spaghetti* & Meatballs - DELICIOUS. Springbone has the zucchini julienned perfectly to give a perfect "pasta-like" consistency with a little bit of crunch. The dish itself was filling, but it was only a few meatballs, sauce, and a lot of julienned zucchini for $12. Though delicious, the dish was a little heavy on the salt. It comes with a teeny tiny cup of the famous beef broth which sort of tasted like an americanized version of pho broth to me (which I do not mind at all, it was quite good.) Grandma's Chicken & Rice (organic wild rice, organic chicken, roasted carrots, string beans, citrus-beet puree, hot sauce and chicken broth) - Good hearty dish, but I wasn't a fan of the beet puree. The roasted carrots were out of this world and I don't even like carrots. Chicken was just shredded chicken so it's literally just an added protein in a flavorful dish. Mexican Bowl (organic wild rice, black beans, organic chicken, guac, pico de gallo and chicken broth) - I fell in LOVE with this dish. If you're ever craving for chipotle or some unhealthy tex-mex, please drop by Springbone and give their Mexican Bowl a try. It's $10.50 and you won't get nearly half as much as you would in chipotle, but the quality is there, and it's healthy! Everything paired so well together. The pico de gallo was fresh and the guac was absolutely delicious. I do wish there was a little more rice and a little less beans though. The chicken in this rice bowl somehow tasted better than the chicken in the Grandma's Chicken & Rice as well. Why? I don't know. Both rice bowls came with a teeny cup of chicken broth which I didn't like. I'm sure Springbone is more famous for their beef broth rather than chicken anyway. Some cons: Side of Broccoli - Was it $4.95 or $5.95? I forgot, but it's not worth it. Broccoli was browned and way overcooked. I did not care for it and overcooked broccoli has close to no nutrients in it anyway. Chicken Broth - As previously stated - Meh. It was so heavy and didn't taste much different from chicken stock to me. It's ok as a small complimentary side to an entree, but definitely not worth buying individually. This nasty nasty bottled chai they sell - Ok, this isn't really their fault because they're just selling the darn beverage. BUT steer clear of that chai drink made with coconut milk in the fridge. It's $6.50 and tastes like pure shit. read more

I love Springbone. I grab lunch/dinner here at least twice per week. I am picky about meat but never have to question the quality at Springbone. I want to give this place five stars but the service could really use some work! The service can be really erratic. My orders are often wrong and with few people in the front, wait times or pick up times can be longer than they need to be. Also, the serving sizes vary a lot. There are several great great people working there, but on average, it can be frustrating to get your food. Lastly, since I order online all the time, I am unable to use my loyalty points. read more

I ordered the chakra bone broth and the avocado toast with fried egg and kimchi and it was absolutely delicious. Hands down the best bone broth I have ever had, and I have tried a lot of them out there. The kimchi was perfect with the avocado toast and egg and was very filling and delicious. I have celiac disease so I was on the hunt for some gluten free avocado toast and this place delivered. Did not get sick from any cross contamination. This was one of my favorite places on my trip to NYC. I could easily go there every day for the bone broth. read more

Walked in here, simply looking for a gluten-free meal, but left wanting to go back. The folks at Springbone obviously take care of sourcing the freshest ingredients. Will definitely go back when we visit the city again. read more

This is one of my favorite places in NY. It's great healthy food that tastes homemade and full of real nutrients. Everyone working there is really nice and the food is really lean and filling. Their broths are magic....Two weeks ago I got a cold I spent the whole day drinking their broth with turmeric and woke up feeling great the next day!!!Since I live not super close by I often get it delivered. They always pack really well and the food is warm when it arrives! read more

Had one item, the chicken broth with coconut and turmeric. At $8 for 16oz., served in a paper coffee cup, it was certainly pricey. It was also delicious, if a bit on the salty side, and a perfect thing to walk and sip on a blustery day. I think this is a great idea, and while I appreciate that creating long-simmered broths is labor intensive, I think $6 would be a fairer charge for this item. read more

Came here on one of those feeling a little tired days when I needed a pick me up! Line was long and a little slow! I ordered the liquid gold bone broth and it really put a spring in my step!

I was intrigued by the zucchini noodles and bone broths of this place when I first started ordering from it, but more and more it's become a staple and an everyday go-to spot, like a "the more you try it the more you love it" kind of thing. Meatball with zucchini noodles and beef broth is very good. The portion is small so it won't completely fill you up, but it's good. 4/5 The chicken bowl is pretty good as well, again though smaller portions so keep that in mind. 4/5 The avocado toast is some really tasty gluten-free bread. Very tasty.5/5 The burger is my absolute favorite, though I would skip the portobello bun and go straight for the GF bread bun - it makes that burger 5x better. 5/5 Verdict: GF-very friendly spot as the entire menu is GF, and the hungry cat very much approves of this clean and fresh tasting, healthy and delicious spot! read more

Food and broth gets ! Came into the city for a meeting and felt like I was getting a cold. I had the "spaghetti" and meatballs and it was good. Had a nice spicy kick to it, and the kick seemed to come from black pepper. The tomato sauce was very fresh and chunky. I loved the meatballs, they were lean and savory. The shot of beef bone broth was so good! It reminds me of this beef soup my abuelita makes and tasted like it had corn and chayote (don't know the translation but it's a Mexican root). However, I don't think this recipe includes corn because the place seems to be paleo-centric. That being said, it tells me the other roots in the broth were definitely cooked down with the bone and gave the broth a hint of sweetness and a velvety smooth texture. Needless to say the beef bone broth was so good, I decided to have the immunity broth without the added vitamin c. This broth is delicious! You can tell they use fresh ginger and garlic. I'll update this later and let you know if it also stopped my cold in it's tracks. LOCATION - the only reason I gave this 4-stars is because the place is so small and there was a book signing? You can barely walk in the space if you're waiting to pick up food, let alone lounge. I think if they had a larger location they could have a "broth bar". I could see networking space for a broth happy hour that would also allow patrons who are sitting not feel like those standing are on top of them. I stayed long enough to get a sense of a regular Thursday night, after the group left, and it was chill, good music and cozy. Also, their delivery guys seem super busy! Finally, as many of you know I have a ton of allergies. I didn't have an allergic reaction to the broth or spaghetti and meatballs or the broths. I did not try the smoothies or deserts because it had coconut milk, but I can vouch for not having a cross contact allergic reaction (++++ in my book). Overall, great food no allergic reaction and the staff was friendly. read more

Went here because i wanted to try their soft swerve ice cream. The place itself was not that big, i'd say only accomodate max 15-16 people. Got the coconut and chocolate soft swerve. It was just the right amount of sweetness. I scanned thru their menu and was excited to try the broth until they mentioned apple cider vinegar in the ingredients. Unfortunately i have allergic reaction to apple so most likely i won't come back although i am tempted to try their smoothies. Oh well maybe when i am in the area again. read more

I typically don't write negative reviews about places, but I feel like it's necessary after my experience at Springbone Kitchen. I ate at the restaurant yesterday evening, ordered the Ropa Vieja which was actually really good. My girlfriend ordered the Cashew Kale Caesar Salad with chicken, along with a side of roasted sweet potato and roasted brussel sprouts. She also really enjoyed the food. Fast forward about 12 hours and we both felt terrible, stricken by a case of food poisoning. I'm really upset that this happened because the food was really good, but sadly I don't think my girlfriend and I can stomach going to Springbone Kitchen again. I hope nobody else feels ill after eating their food and that it was just a one off incident. read more
