The spicy omelette was good but the corned beef hash was so dry that I couldn't even eat it. For $12 I'd rather buy the stuff in the can.

We don't live close by, but have enjoyed their breakfast sandwiches delivered in the past. Sadly, it seems there have been some changes? We ordered today and the sandwiches were... Sad. The pork sausage reminded me of the from-frozen variety, kinda burnt up, and tasteless... A very small portion of the protein as well, given how large the sandwiches are.Hopefully this was a one-off, and isn't other's experience, but it'll be hard to take a chance on them again when there are so many great breakfast sandwiches in the area.

Ordered the ricotta stuffed chala french toast with bananas and strawberries and I received cantaloupe or mango (can't tell because their really isn't a strong flavor) on top??? I mainly ordered this because I was in the mood for the strawberries and bananas. Maybe they ran out of the fruit?? Regardless, unripe cantaloupe or mango is probably one of the last fruit I want on top of french toast. The French toast itself is okay, it has a light flavor, and the ricotta adds a nice texture. It's a decent proportion as well. I think this would taste good with the strawberries and bananas. Overall, feeling disappointed.Edit: it's definitely mango

Just got a blueberry muffin here. It was chewy and old. So gross. They even grilled it with the paper still on. Nice effort.

The food was alright, but what irritates me is the $4.50 iced tea without refills! Tea, one of the cheapest drinks out there and you charge way too much and don't give refills? Not worth the cost!

Hot and delicious eggs benedict and the grilled mash was tasty. The self serve coffee station is slightly chaotic but adds to the charm. Lots of interesting items on the menu and would return to try more

Sound Bites is the kinda place I want to become a regular at. It's homey, I love the self-service drinks with all the color mugs to choose from, I love the "home fries" mashed potato things. The food is great, the service is great.

Love sound bites. It's always very quick and very yummy. Their menu is pretty extensive and they have a little bit of everything for everyone. Sometimes there's a wait but never usually that long. Parking can be a little tricky at prime hours but it's super close to the newish ball square green line stop!

We had a nice brunch here today. Good drinks, eggs were cooked perfectly and the staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and fast!

Big fan of SB. Always keeps me coming back...even when you walk by the place next door with a similar menu. It's tempting but familiarity wins out. Self serve coffee and traditional eggs Benny...with a side of SB "mashed" browns. Only remark is that the potato portion seemed flatter and smaller than in the past. But still crispy and tasty. My only regret is that I didn't get a grilled muffin this time.

My wife & kids and I love it. Great vibe and location. And the food? Purty darn good, too.

Wow.... simply the best breakfast! Fast service, great coffee! I had a corned beef hash omelet... hands down the best hash ever. ?If you get a chance please stop in here for breakfast, you will not be disappointed.

As busy as this place gets I expected better. This is one of those places that just look good with average food. It wasn't so busy when we came. You can taste all the flavors from the griddle on the toasted muffin so it ruined the muffin.
