SoBol New Haven
320 Congress Ave, New Haven, CT
Crema's Take
“SoBol New Haven has built a loyal following around fresh fruit bowls and smoothies, though recent reviews suggest the quality and portions have become inconsistently stingy compared to their earlier reputation. The staff can be genuinely helpful—one reviewer praised a server for letting them sample flavors before committing—but the kitchen seems to be cutting corners on fruit toppings and sometimes sourcing underripe bananas that compromise the drinks. If you catch them on a good day with attentive prep, you'll get a vibrant acai or spirulina bowl perfect for a quick, family-friendly meal, but it's worth asking about their sourcing practices first.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Quick-grab spot. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

My first time at SoBol like 10 minutes ago and I will not be returning! The manager charged me $16 for an acai bowl with barely any fruit on top. I only wanted one fruit topping as I don't like the other fruit toppings they offer and they refused to fully top my bowl with fruit.…
The atmosphere was fine and lady at the register was nice. I asked for no coconut flakes and look at the picture and see how greedy the cook was about the fruit. I don’t know if she was in rush but there was literally only 3 people in the restaurant including me. She could’ve at…
