The Full Bowl - Veggie bowl - smaller No Coast- larger Vegan corn muffins Spring rolls - Vegan Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

What amazing food! My husband and I stopped here and both had the vegan bowls. Mine with lemon garlic sauce and Hubby with raspberry balsamic sauce. We both loved them. As a bonus for me - free coffee refills. Next time we're in town we're coming back here and ordering larger bowls and a smoothie.! read more

Service with a smile, good choices, fresh ingredients. Will be back!! Just a short distance from NewBo, worth it.

This is a great place to get a filling, healthy and delicious meal! It's hard for me to consider getting food from any other places inside NewBo City Market, only because I crave the Full Bowl so regularly that I have to take every chance I get to savor it! Whether it's the weekly special or one of the tried-and-true staples on the menu, I know it'll be delicious! I am OBSESSED with the No Coast Bowl (that cashew cream under the black beans is what dreams are made of.) Super friendly and fast service, awesome prices and satisfying meals can be found here! Bonus: supporting a small locally-owned business! read more

The Full Bowl - a hand holding two bowls of food - Vegan Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

So happy to see this NewBo incubated business strike out on its own in the old Czech Deli location. Stopped in for an açaí bowl and avacado toast this weekend. Bowl was good and included presumably home made peanut butter (yum!) and fresh raspberries. "Toast" could've been toasted a bit more for my liking, but toppings which included oyster mushrooms and pickled onions were yummy. Atmosphere needs a little work - including a sound shield for the mixers making the smoothies. Staff was friendly. I will be back to try more menu items and wish the best for this place. read more

Found this little gem while passing through Cedar Rapids. Located inside NewBo City Market the competition is stiff with several other small business food vendors. I wouldn't hesitate to choose this spot again. I couldn't decide on which rice bowl to get so I got two small ones. The No Coast and the Chana Masala. The owner insisted the No Coast was a fan favorite but after having both I think people are missing out on the Chana Masala. Both were equally delicious but the complex flavors of the Chana put it on top for me. Get both chutneys and don't be afraid of the jalapeño spice. I also tried the Spring rolls loaded with carrots, purple cabbage and micro greens with a yummy peanut dipping peanut sauce that really makes the roll. The owner is super friendly and there's something about seeing micro greens growing in the space that makes you feel good. read more

I eat a whole foods plant-based diet, and am always excited to find a place that has something suitable for me on their standard menu. This was one of those places, and they had generous portions along with a lot of options available. The food was delicious, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the food is ready surprisingly fast! I strongly recommend this great find! read more

Great food options: offering unique, nutritious, and delicious items not available elsewhere in the area. The service is fast and friendly too. The business is located inside NewBo City Market among multiple vendors, kind of like a food court. You can get it for takeout or eat inside or outdoors at the Market. read more

Stopped here on the way back home to Des Moines. It was so good! I got the No Coast Bowl w/ vegan cashew sour cream. I wish this place was in my town!!! Great place if you are vegan or even if you just love food. I forgot to add avocado which would have made it even better. Will definitely stop by if ever in town or passing through! read more

The Full Bowl - No Coast Bowl - Vegan Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Many vegans around me recommended it, so we gave it a try. All food we got was delicious and fresh. No Coast Bowl: I could taste each ingredient disrinctly and at the same time, they mingled well. I especially liked the mild kick of green onion and cilantro in the mix. Black bean was soft and melted in my mouth. Two of us shared the bowl and a couple of side dishes together, and I wished we had ordered the large bowl instead of the regular. Vegan corn muffin: a must item! It's only $1.50 and it's worth every penny. Very savory, not so sweet, and crumbly with real corn kennels inside. Lots of fun chewing it and also filling. Grilled vegan sausage: they use Tofurky brand. It's half of a sausage stick. I wish they use a whole. Oh, well. It went well with the corn muffin and the bowl. It would be a bit dry to eat it by itself. They don't have vegan cheese on their menu, so I asked. They said when they tried it a while ago, they didn't like the taste. I recommended that they try one by Follow Your Heart. Note that this is a booth in an indoor market. So you pick up your food and eat in the seating area or out in the lawn. They also change menu frequently and have a limited open hour. read more

We got 3 dishes today and loved them all! The lemon garlic sauce on the No Coast bowl was amazing. The Chana Masala bowl was also fantastic and really enjoyed the spicy mint chutney on it. Everything was fresh and delicious. We tried all 3 lemonades - the mint is definitely the best! The Full Bowl is a gem inside the NewBo City Market. We could have spent all afternoon exploring all the restaurants and shops! It is a fun afternoon excursion. read more

This guy was so nice and the potato salad is straight fire!!! I wish I lived closer, I'd eat it every day! If you're here I absolutely recommend this place. read more

This is my go to place in Newbo for a healthy, filling, vegan meal. The bowls are very tasty and customizable. You get a pretty big portion size as well. It's pricey but WELL worth it. read more

Taste was great. Portion to cost is a little small. They have 3 bowl options and are all vegan. I also tried the vegan cornbread and vegan sausage. The cornbread is good could be better, it was dry. The sausage is seitan and I actually liked it. I chopped it up and mixed it in my bowl. Will most likely return. read more

Give The Full Bowl owner Wes Shirley some props for opening a vegan/vegetarian restaurant in the middle of carnivore Iowa. Who knew this would work here? Rice and bean bowls are as common here as pork tenderloin sandwiches are in Mumbai. I had the No Coast Bowl which won over this Iowa boy with layers of rich flavors, multiple textures and actual substance. It had steamed black beans, red cabbage, scallion, cilantro and cheddar cheese over brown rice in a flavorful lemon garlic sauce. The Full Bowl is located in NewBo City Market, which along with so many other new and creative businesses in this growing district, has really transformed Cedar Rapids in a cool and refreshing way! read more

The Full Bowl - The No Coast Bowl - very tasty! - Vegan Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Wow! Fast, delicious, and healthy! I was really impressed. The chutneys are amazing! If at New Bo, stop at this place!

Lots of healthy, vegan options that are delicious! I would say the food/ingredients are more whole-food and plant-based. Lots of oil-free options too. read more

We popped into Newbo City Market to do a little shopping ...hunger happened and we are at The Full Bowl. The chickpea masala was great and so was my house special with black beans, Brown rice and other delightfully fresh ingredients. I could eat here EVERY DAY, but, alas, I am only visiting from Arizona. Enjoy this place, C.R.!!! read more

The servings didn'tseem large enough at first but turned out to be filling and best of all, HOT. Impressive flavors!

Full Bowl in the Newbo City Market is one of very few places in Cedar Rapids for vegetarians, vegans, and plant-based eaters. We pick up bowls to go at least once a week. My favorite is the No-Coast Bowl. I get it with cashew 'sour cream' and salsa. I hold the cheese. So delicious. read more

The Full Bowl - a salad with a fork in it - Vegan Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Friendly owner and the food is filling and flavorful with a decent portion size for the money. This isn't fancy vegan food, but its delicious rice and beans fare that doesn't get enough love in the foodie community. I had the black beans and rice bowl (forget what it was called), but it was well seasoned and even had homemade cashew sour cream. If you are in Newbo and want a yummy meatless option, support this local business, you won't regret it! read more

My favorite spot in the new bo market. Owner is friendly. I am full every time I eat there. I get the. No coast bowl and a vegan corn muffin. Fresh ingredients. I am not Vegan but I always get the Vegan version. Can't wait to go again read more

Pretty darn good bean a rice bowls. Glad I found this spot for vegan grub on my regular travels from Chicago to the area.

Went to Newbo Market for the first time today and perused my options for lunch. After much consideration, I decided to branch out and try the No Coast bowl (without beans). I'm a pretty picky eater, but the No Coast bowl was amazing! The lemon garlic sauce and the salsa was divine (and not too spicy) and the cilantro, green onions, and red cabbage toppings complimented it nicely. It was a little pricey for the size, but everything's organic and home made, so you're getting a quality rice bowl. My friend also got a muffin, which was given to her for free since it was the end of the day. Great service and great food! Will definitely be coming back. read more

Full Bowl is inside the Newbo city market. I was so happy to see some great vegan options here! The menu is all vegan and vegetarian. I was visiting Cedar Rapids with my husbands family and it was convenient to find a place where I could get a hearty vegan meal while they got burgers right across the hall. I got the No Coast Bowl which came with a super tasty unique sauce on mixed in. This was the only item on the menu that was not vegan, BUT it's just a sprinkle of cheese that they swapped out for avocado. The African peanut stew sounded great but it was 95 degrees and we were on our way to a baseball game, so that sounded like a risky situation! There are two size options for your bowl. I got the large and it was a nice amount of food, got me good and full. read more

Last time I went to The Full Bowl, I had the Chana Masala, and it was delicious--slightly sweet Indian spices and chick peas: so good. This time I had the No Coast Bowl and it was even better: black beans, rice, tomatoes, cilantro and a delicious lemon garlic sauce. It had all the tastes--so delicious! The moist and tasty corn muffins go great with either bowl. I also like that they have two sizes so that a Small Person such as myself can get just enough. Highly recommend this delicious comfort food. read more

A little hit or miss, this vegetarian/vegan/gluten free spot is a nice addition to NewBo for folks with those restrictions. I got the New Mexican Green Chile Stew and quite liked it. It had a little smoke and heat, although not nearly as much as I was expecting given the repeated warnings about how spicy it was. The corn muffins were good - I'd be very pleased if I'd made them myself, but I think I could probably replicate it at home. The No Coast Bowl seemed a bit a bland to me - I didn't really get much flavor other than the beans and rice. Overall, a decent choice if you're veg or vegan and want a warm soup, but otherwise only do it if something on the menu really speaks to you. read more

I travel 6 states and have the hardest time finding vegan restaurants. Found this on Apple maps and drove 10 miles to try it. Well worth the drive!
