    Probably my favorite video ever! I’ve been to this restaurant 5 times already! I cried when Souplantation closed and prayed nightly that they’d come back. It means as much to me as Disneyland because I met my husband at Souplantation when I worked there. It was both my brother and my first job in the early 90s. I can vouch that everything was made fresh. My husband made all prepared salads, soups, and more. My brother worked the Soup bar and bakery. I worked the Salad Bar, register, and dining room.

    Sweet Tomatoes is actually coming back but the first one they're opening is going to be in Tucson, AZ.

      Not an April fools joke. Tucson Native here and they officially opened today and they have a line wrapped around the building with people waiting in the rain. They’ve had a soft launch for the last 3 days before the official launch.

    I am BEYOND THRILLED. This was always one of my go to places. I LOVE having so many salad choices. I am GLAD that there's a long line. It means a strong showing of support that the communities and public want this back!

    Man i miss soup plantation so much. It dying during covid 19 was the greatest tragedy of my life lol. I miss the Pizzas, chicken soup, clam chowder, blue berry muffins, baked potatoes soft serve, and salads! I live like 50min from this soup n fresh place, but the old souplantation location near me is still there just dead with the sign. Hopefully, soup n fresh expands!

    I never went there because of the name but it really looked like good food. Now I will try the one in Palmdale. I love making my own salad with what I want on it.

    My mother was the woman who started with a single plate and piled everything on top. I however started with two trays and seven plates and made various salads as I went. When I was done I'd even have the little cups with the seeds and peas and blue cheese (Mom accused me of causing the bankruptcy because I would bring three or four containers of blue cheese home with us; not really home but for the ride home in the car). We would easily spend 4 hours at Sweet tomatoes having lunch. One of my favorite memories, I got a DUI and lost my job and after bailing me out of jail Mom took me this sweet tomatoes for lunch. She said for the next 4 hours I didn't have to worry about the rest of my life.

    Foothill and Vineyard, In the old thomas Vineyard winery. Used to go there often, we live in the area. NICE of you to come on out and visit the inland empire and Rancho Cucamonga. Looking forward to hitting the place again in a few weeks.

    So this one is privately owned and not affiliated with Sweet Tomatoes/ Souplantation. I'm so happy they've opened and are so dedicated to staying close to the concept!
    The actual Sweet Tomatoes company is reopening in Tucson but so far just that location. I grew up going to CA locations and was so sad when they closed. Can't wait to go to this one!! Thank you for reviewing! 😊😋🥗🍜🍠🥖🍦

    Always a big fan of Sweet Tomatoes (same company as Souplantation) here in the Phx area. Looking forward to trying the first reopened one in Tucson. My ST location two miles away has turned into a Mexican sushi place, so no reopening there.

    I used to go to this exact location 1-2 times a month before the closure. Souplantation was one of my favorite restaurants and I even have leftover (now worthless) Souplantation gift cards. Looking forward to trying out this restaurant! Thanks for the video and the review.

    @Jeannified 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This location is near my husband's family, who all live in Upland and Rancho Cucamonga. We can't wait to go! I read an article a while back that an investor bought the intellectual property for Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes, and is in the process of reopening a Sweet Tomatoes in Tucson, AZ. Also, my Aunt, who lives in Tampa, FL, said that they just heard that they are reopening one there, as well. The investor is based in Winter Park, FL, so that makes sense. I get the feeling that more Sweet Tomatoes will start opening soon. They'd better hurry though, because Soup and Fresh may take the mantle and run with it and overtake the Sweet Tomatoes investors, if they sit on their laurels for too long! The early bird catches the worm!

  • @eddiealmanza1
    @eddiealmanza1 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The line is a lot longer than it was when it was soup plantation I ate there about three weeks ago. Me and my daughter spent like $42.02 drinks and the soup bar I guess with inflation it’s about right I would say it’s the cheapest thing and there are a few things that are different but it’s enough for a lot of millennials, from what I heard in the line, they were extremely happy for it to come back

  • @12012channel
    @12012channel 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My Soup Plantation at a mall has not been occupied, since they closed. In fact, most of the stuff like seats, booths, counters and stations are still there. If they wanted to reopen, it wouldn't need to take that long. The only problem is the mall is supposed to go through a big transformation in the next few years. The property was sold but maybe that part won't change. Since some big companies are there. Like, Princess Cruises is right next door.

  • @Pencelia
    @Pencelia หลายเดือนก่อน

    Soup and Fresh isn't owned by Sweet Tomatoes. It says inspired by. A new Sweet Tomatoes did open in Tucson, AZ. Maybe that is why the salad wasn't the same taste.

    We use to have Sweet tomatoes in Utah and they closed but a new version opened called Dollies soups and salads about a year and half ago and it is still always busy when I go and I think it will stay that way it’s very popular
