8 Best Soup near Burlington

“My recent visit to Zabby & Elf's Stone Soup presented a mixed bag of experiences. I appreciated their concept, particularly the extensive hot and cold bars brimming with vegetarian options, truly a menu dominated by plant-based choices. Yet, not every dish clicked. I found some vegetarian hot bar items disappointingly bland, lacking the vibrant flavors I hoped for. The turkey reuben, surprisingly, had an odd, off-putting sweetness that was a definite miss for my palate.

Despite these culinary inconsistencies, some food items were genuinely delicious, showcasing good diversity. Be mindful of the $15 per pound buffet price, though sandwiches are large enough to share. A useful tip: always ask for their free bread!

The atmosphere and service, however, were exceptional. The place boasts a cool vibe, with a big open window ideal for sunny days. While indoor seating felt a tad intimate, outdoor options were available. The staff stood out—incredibly friendly, engaging, and genuinely warm, elevating the entire experience. While the flavors can be a gamble, Zabby & Elf's welcoming environment and stellar service make it worth a visit, especially for those seeking abundant vegetarian selections.“

“Great sandwiches and burritos! Super affordable. Think $11-12 out the door where most places in BTV charges $16+. Hidden gem! Great place to grab a couple supplementary groceries, snacks or beer late at night. Owner works all the time and js very nice.“

“CNX THAI is the absolute best place! Every time I go, they make my experience wonderful! They remember my order every time and they have the best Pad Thai EVER! Not to mention, the Thai Iced Tea is to die for! By far one of the best restaurants around! We travel 45 minutes just to come here! The staff is incredibly kind, patient and helpful! Love this place SO much!“

“Nice, cozy spot for some sushi, the place could definitely use a face-lift, maybe new furniture and brighter paint and the staff could be friendlier but the sushi was fresh and the love boat was well presented.“

“I went here with my boyfriend 8/9/25 and we had Nia as our server, and she was so lovely and excellent. She was so kind and attentive and sweet, there wasn't a moment where we felt unheard or looked over. She was an absolute doll and even when the kitchen was running a little bit behind she still checked on us regularly and got everything out to us in a timely manner all white being poised an polite. The food was delicious, and we had several people greet us on the way in and told us to get home safe on the way out. They're doing it right!“

“My local Panera in Oneonta, NY, is wonderful meeting spot for coffee and lunch dates with friends. But the SOUTH BURLINGTON VT location is where my nephew works. He was hit by a truck on Thursday right in front of the cafe, and the first person to comfort him was Robin! She and ALL the staff at that location have done SO MUCH to help us get thru. We are amazed at how well the organization takes care of its staff. We are awestruck by the love. What an amazing group of people!“

“I’ve officially hit my halfway point in my weight loss journey… losing 60 lbs in 6 months. My key to it was not drinking my calories and by sticking to my Panera Diet. Thank you Panera! I want to give a special thank you to the employees at Panera who have given me encouragement along my journey. Eating healthy foods has been key to this goal.“

“All hole in the wall places are hit or miss. This place was a hit. The atmosphere is fast pace because they catter to delivery services. Based on that the food is hot hot and you will be given a choice to let it cool down or what happens when you don't wait.

It was funny listening to them fighting with each other in the back like when couples get comfortable with having you around.

The eating area is not big so take out is where it's at.

I made it a point to say thank you for hirer then Average food.

The menu may be the same but not quality.

It's worth trying. This is my opinion and how I feel .

The best is what you say is the best“
