Great charming place for lunch. Cant go wrong with the cookies - best Peanut butter cookies Ive ever had!
Good little spot for a quick bite.... Roasted chicken and different salads are their specialty, and a variety of sandwiches, baked sweets, and coffees .. prices are a on the high side, though. Lines can be extra long during the lunch hour.
First restaurant experience in NY.Rude and apathetic customer service.No salmon was ready for lunch, they seemed Ill preparedThe chicken was bone dry and bland, seemed as if they cooked it over three times.The side of carrots were nice and watermelon salad was great.Would not recommend.
They have amazing bone broth!
This is my very first time writing a bad review. So that should tell you how mad this place made me. I ordered a sandwich and a hibiscus tea with lemonade added. The drink was really good, and the sandwich was just ok. The bread was really stale and it barely had any apples on the sandwich (which was supposed to be a main ingredient). The part that made me mad though was the price. I paid $10 for hardly any food. I got the sandwich back and it was tiny. And I turned to the girl at the register and said, Excuse me, but is this a half sandwich? and she quickly said Yes, thats how we sell them and immediately turned to another customer, as if to ignore me. This place is not worth the money, its not as good as they must think it is.
Im so happy they are open! The best place in the neighborhood to get a delicious, freshly, made lunch. I live nearby and have been almost every day since they have opened.
Stopped in around 3pm on a Sunday. They were out of most items, so the selection was poor. Scone was overly dry. I heard really good things, so this was a disappointment for me. My wife said her sandwich was delicious.
I go here for their olive oil sponge cake 💛 I really liked that once, I visited around 11am and got to have unrushed brunch w/ my friend; catching up for about an hour. The staff was friendly and didn’t give off that “were waiting for you to leave” vibe.
Great casual spot for flavorful, healthy food: a variety of seasonal salads, roast chicken, and baked good including a popular banana-quinoa muffin. In nice weather, you can sit on steps outside and people watch along a hip, low-key shopping street of Soho.
This was my first negative experience at SmileTo Go. The food and pastries are always amazing. Now although the employees are not the most personable people in customer service, they reply when you say good morning or they offer it first, barely. But thats all I really need. Im not a morning person either, but I also dont work in customer service. Today, only 5 minutes ago, after paying for my breakfast, it was left on the counter. I guess she figured I would pick it up, walk outside with it in my hand, not in a bag and that would be ok. I asked for a bag and that also was left on the counter. I picked the bag up and put my own sandwich in the bag. She moved on to the next customer. I decided against making a spectacle and left. Hopefully someone will read this and offer a class to the employees on proper etiquette when working in serving paying customers at their establishment. I will try another location. Maybe I will have better luck and receive a Smile To Go.
Perfect food but pricy
Trash service. Order a breakfast sandwich and waited for 15 minuets to find out there’s a tray of sandwiches just sitting under a hot lamp. Got the sandwich and almost chipped a tooth biting into the bread. Latte wasn’t that good either. Very disappointed overall
Incredible find!!! Wow. The most interesting pastries and healthy lunch options around. If you know about Smile youll never go anywhere else if youre grabbing a coffee, snack, or lunch on the go.
Everyone here is super friendly and all of the food is delicious. My one complaint is that their brussels sprouts keep me up at night and are always sold out by the time I get there during my lunch break. MORE BRUSSELS SPROUTS.
As one member of staff serves oatmeal for one customer, another tells you with a deadpan expression they cannot serve you oatmeal as they have completely sold out. Happened two days running. If, like me, you dont meet Smile To Gos stringent qualifying standards for purchasing oatmeal, Cafe Bari on Broadway and Canal around the corner serve great oatmeal.
The pea soup tastes more like liquified parsley and the skin on the roasted potatoes is chewy, clearly under a heat lamp too long. Coffee is good, but underwhelming food
Love this place. European like, human edible portions with very high quality ingredients. Love this place. For me the best granola yogurt ever.
This place is really good! They have an amazing selection of very fresh foods. made properly with care. Love this place! alittle pricey but worth it on the occasion!
The most bland and tasteless food Ive had in NYC. Staff is barely civil at best... maybe they hate their jobs? Probably bc of the food.
Marc is the ABSOLUTE BEST manager ever and Xavier is super kind!!! I’m coming all the time now
A little pricey but great sandwiches and cookies, very busy during lunch hours so expect a line out the door on week days
Pricey, but small portions. Good quality. Coffee is good, but usually theres a long wait.
Great little café on soho. Qualify food and pastries. Closes quite early at 6pm.
The food here is really good however the portions could be a little larger.
Great little place for a quick bite (great small sandwiches) and solid coffee.
Good chocolate chip cookies. Taste best at room temperature.
Nice staff. Good vegey lunch price for 3 items
Whatever plans for lunch you thought you had when you walked through the door should be forgotten if these maple bacon sliders are available
Sooooo good, fresh, and you have to try the blueberry buttermilk muffin
The smile to go is my favorite. Shoutout to the cookies for being awesome
Sandwiches are tasty! Quarters are tight.
Healthy meals that are delicious and quite satiating.
Decent small sandwiches. Creepy photos on the wall.
Sandwiches are cheap but oh so small
Great lunch and coffee spot!

2019-11-08Great spot for picking up coffee, soups or sandwiches. The staff is always very helpful and friendly. Be advised that this a high quality, busy, but tiny place. Seating is not really an option here.
Review №2
2022-02-04I love the market salads here. There are always a couple of vegan options, raw vegetable and cooked/roasted vegetables, and a starch side (like pasta salad or couscous salad).Update (2/2022): salads are tasty. Service is so rude and hostile that I now actively avoid this place for lunch. Also, stop putting out stale pastries.

2018-11-22Great little lunch spot in SoHo! Unassuming from outside, it has great, healthier food options and excellent coffee. I pop in here almost every time I’m in the area.

2018-09-03Wonderful little spot offering sandwich and salad freshly made and with prime ingredients.Coffee is good and they even have a quite real Italian espresso.Premises are little but cozy.Staff is fast, efficient and always with a smile.With about 11$ you can have a choice of three mains and a large bowl.Loved the environment friendly attitude.Definitely a place to visit

2018-11-08Great spot! Healthy food, tasty, and incredibly warm staff.The spot is a little tight, so if your here during the lunch rush hour it might be hard to sit.The prices are a tad expensive , but well worth it.

2022-02-16Food is really good but a bit over priced.My problem is THE BLODNE DUDE THAT WORKS THERE!! Literally the worst vibes I’ve ever encountered. Every time I enter this establishment I am ASSAULTED by his negative energy.

2018-10-30I love this place so much! The food is delicious, fresh and healthy. My favorite is the breakfast burrito and the salads are excellent. The place has a great vibe and you can tell that the food is made with love. I also really like that they compost and operate their business with environmental integrity. Finally, don’t leave without a cookie or a chocolate chip oat ball!

2017-06-19Tiny little sandwich / bake shop with great coffee drinks. The food is great but its kind of expensive for what you get. Its easy to spend ~$15 for lunch which is surprising. They have a rotating variety of fresh, yummy salads too.On weekdays, there can be a line out the door for lunch because its really popular with the Soho locals.

2019-09-05Visited today for some fresh and healthy food. The eggplant was delicious, and I combined it with the watermelon with arugula, which was a refreshing savoury and sweet plate. Staff were super cute and friendly, and helpful when deciding what to order. Thanks guys!
