Came here before the boulderthon marathon to wait for my sister to run the race. The girls behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. I got the vanilla latte and it was great to have so many milk options. I got coconut milk and it was delicious. I also got the power greens hot bol. It was very good and luckily for me I like Dijon mustard. If I got it again however, I would ask for the dressing on the side. The Dijon was way too much and it overpowered the entire bol. My mouth was clenching! The decor was very cute and well planned.

Wayyyy over priced! Its $11.50 for the ao.G bowl and $1.50 to add almond butter. Look at the picture to see how much Almond butter I got for $1.50. Its a drizzel. Not cool.

For the second time in a row I placed an order, paid online, came even after the pick-up time to ensure that my order would be prepared, and nobody had even started on my order yet either time. The food takes 15+ minutes to warm up, and your staff did not greet me until 5 minutes of waiting either time (although nobody was in line in front of me). Please be considerate of your patrons, and the fact that those placing online orders may also be Pearl Street workers on limited time constraints during lunch break. I was very understanding the first time, but a second time is just ridiculous. Two lunch breaks without any lunch. Get it together, you guys.

Out of essential ingredients (mango and coconut milk) and they dont tell you until youve paid and waited 10 or more minutes. Mayan bowl....

A nice spot to grab a nice bowl with some protein + fruit. We visited twice, and the first time we tried the OG with almond butter and the PB&J. On the first day, the PB&J was delicious, and the raspberry chia jam was particularly noteworthy. The OG was not bad, but could have done with additional almond butter, given that it was an add on. The next day, we tried the Hazelnut bowl and the PB&J again. Sadly, they had run out of the raspberry jam, so the bowl had fresh raspberries instead- the resulting bowl was just not as good. The hazelnut bowl was similarly a bit one note, and could have done with some tangier fruit or jam.The service was really good despite the staff being super busy! Overall, a pretty good spot for vegan breakfasts (they have JUST scrambles in addition, and all their protein add-ons are plant based- however, something to keep in mind is that also use eggs and honey in some dishes).

Great food!! Unfortunately customer service went from bad to worse and then off a cliff. I ordered my food online from the Google maps. It would be ready in 20 minutes as expected. It took me 35 minutes.They informed me that two of the three bowls on my order they couldn’t make, so I said I would simply take the tofu scramble, the toast and cancel the bowls. Well, they had gotten busy so they hadn’t started making my order yet, but it would be ready in about 10 more minutes. I came back 10 minutes later they were out of another ingredient, and hadn’t really started making the toast. The tofu scramble was nearly done, so a few more minutes pass.I then told her cashier that I want to make sure I get my money back for the bowls that they couldn’t make, and she asked how I placed the order. Oh you’ll have to contact them to get your money back.I left and later on I called and asked to have the manager call me when she came in. The woman on the phone said she could help, then agreed that the owner/manager would call. Then she remembered me and reiterated that since I placed my order online I would have to go through that company. I said I understood what she was saying but I wanted to speak to the manager and not hear about it again. At that point she said you can just call back when the manager is here, and hung up the phone on me.Wonder Press has great offerings at the other end of the Pearl Street mall, and Vitality Bowls is also great right by Folsom and Arapahoe.

Whole Sol is one of our favorite restaurants in Boulder! They have the best smoothie bowls and use the freshest ingredients 🙌Make sure you try their seasonal bowls - the current winter bowl is so good! We also like the overnight oats, tofu scramble, and matcha latte. Can’t go wrong here.The price is actually very reasonable for a high quality smoothie shop. Keep and eye out for their Wednesday special though if you’re ballin on a budget, as they sometimes offer bowls for $5.Perfect spot for a coffee, snack, smoothie, smoothie bowl, juice, and more.

I always come to this place with my sister when I visit her up here at school. It is great food with fresh ingredients and at a more than reasonable price. A clean and friendly environment helps to make the dining experience very enjoyable. Whole Sol was actually the first smoothie bowl I had ever tried, and I love them so much now! Highly recommend this place

One of my favorite places in Boulder! They have the best bowls, toasts, coffees, snacks, and more. They use the freshest ingredients, and the staff is always so nice and helpful! I think it’s worth every penny. I would recommend this place to anyone!!

I anxiously watched the store front during the construction of this blend bar. Since they opened I’ve been in every week (often multiple times) for nourishing and delicious food. If you like food they have something for you! From adaptogenic coffees, to toast offerings, to fresh in house made juices they’ve got you covered. They have a great loyalty program that rewards you for your purchase over time, and their weekly newsletter is a must - as they share their weekly “special” offering.

$8.99 for 250 ml of juice. I dont think so!!!You guys are out of your minds with prices like these. And then tell you to bring back the bottle and get a $1 off. Get real.

Every time I come in, the employees are always so welcoming and customer conscious. The bowls are always so fresh and make me feel so rejuvenated and energized! I highly recommend for anyone who wants a healthy and tasty meal or snack from very friendly people! Aram especially made my customer experience one to remember. One of the friendliest and most efficient workers in the service industry that I have ever encountered.

Review №18

The fresh smoothie bowls are my favorite here. I love being able to customize them if I want extra greens or protein added in, especially after a hike! Though the bowls feel a bit pricey, I always finish them feeling full, satisfied, and refreshed, so compared to other smoothies, it feels more worth it.

Love Whole Sol on Pearl! I own a business nearby and come to our neighbor Whole Sol a few times a month, mostly to get the glacier water, which I absolutely LOVE! I also had my first ever smoothie bowl here. Not only are their food, drinks and coffee great, the interior is very chic and welcoming.

Review №21

Plain and simple this place is amazing. I’ve been here multiple times and tried basically everything and you can’t go wrong. Not to mention the workers are so wonderful. I always go in to see Sara. Every time she has served me she always makes me laugh and treats me like a person and not just a customer. Next time you’re in, ask for Sara. She knows the menu items best and always put a smile on my face.

Review №22

So very disappointing.I arrived with my family to have lunch. This was my first visit and my family was excited for me to try this restaurant.Upon attempting to order, learned that they were out of several things which included the first 2 entrees that I asked for. Eventually we ordered and had a seat. I honestly would have left at this point but the fam wanted to stay.10 minutes later 3 of the 4 drinks arrived. 1 was delivered by being spilled on the table. Not a big deal. Table was cleaned, new drink was brought over. Still missing 4th drink.Soon after, 1 hot entree was delivered, partially. Then a second partial entree. Still no 4th beverage.2 more entrees were eventually brought along with an entree that wasnt ours.After the hour mark, Im still waiting my beverage and my food, along with part the first entree.So I brought in the first entree that was very cold to have it heated and ask for the rest of that entree. And we did finally receive the rest of the order.This restaurant seemed to have either no manager or a very, very green manager. Im pretty sure my young grandchildren could have handled smoothies and toasts quicker than this restaurant. And maybe were odd, but our family prefers to eat at the same time if we go out. Please dont deliver food for one family over a 50 minute time frame. Some had eaten and were ready to leave while others were very hungry.When we entered there were 3-4 employees in the very messy kitchen, but soon there was only one. And at this time of day, on the weekend, there was a decent order line. I know times are tough right now with understaffing and food items not being delivered on time, but I just wonder if the restaurant should be closed until it can be properly staffed?The food was fine although the tofu scramble was very cabbage heavy. The matcha tea had too much matcha powder that made the drink bitter. Other family members seemed to enjoy their toasts.There were two positives about this visit. The first is that the bread here is really great. Its delicious and crusty. The second is that the staff was kind and friendly, even apologetic.Id like to try this restaurant again in the future and hopefully improve this rating.

Smoothie bowls are still delicious even if their granola used to be even better. Also love the decor and atmosphere, and the deals on Wednesday’s that make you discover bowls you might not have ordered otherwise. Their service is VERY slow though...

Review №26

They have multiple things up on their menu that are not available when you actually go up to order, even if they have all the ingredients available for other items. Doesnt make sense and the staff made no effort to find a solution. If you dont have something on your menu, your staff should find a solution and not leave a customer hanging. Went with the Pesto Bruschetta but I think their recipe changed because I remember it being good and it was NOT this time. Left feeling disappointed in one of my formerly favorite restaurants. 😪

Review №27

I waited for 15 minutes for my bowl even though I was the only customer in the store and they were exactly 8 staff members. When it came, the bowl that I paid over $12 for was really small. I got a bowl at Vitality Bowls for the same price that was about three times the size. Definitely felt ripped off. I would like to at least mention that the staff members were really nice at Whole Sol.

He
Review №28

The Mayan bowl that I had was very expensive for the size and the actual smoothie part was also very much lacking in flavor. The granola was way too sweet and overpowered the bowl. This spot does seem very stylish and has potential. Id be willing to give it another shot if there was a special promotion running that made the price more in line with the value.

Originally I wrote a review about the wait times and a particular bowl, however Phil, the owner reached out and was very apologetic and sweet about the occurrence. I went again yesterday and got my bowl within 4 minutes and it was so so so so good! I really appreciate the owner and their passion for providing a good experience for the customer!

Review №44

The food was alright, though I agree with other reviewers stating that its a tad pricey for what you get. I also felt like the employees were quite cold didnt greet us when we came in even though they werent busy or attending to anyone else and seemed impatient with us even though we were picking up our online order. Overall, they had a vibe to them that was very unwelcoming, and as a result, I did not return during my time in Boulder.

Ka
Review №45

Safe to say we will not be returning. We ordered pickup online and had to wait 20+ minutes once we got there (even though there was only one other group in the restaurant waiting for coffee). I appreciate them giving us a $5 token for taking so long however it was just not a good experience. Other customers waiting in the restaurant were ordering/waiting for coffee and not wearing masks ( &the workers never asked them to put on masks). The best part of smoothie bowl was the granola- everything else was tasteless. For the price of the bowls you would expect it to taste better with fresh ingredients.

Review №46

Genuinely one of the best smoothie, açaí bowl, breakfast places I think I have been too. I got the cold brew coffee bowl and it was delicious! Definitely a bit pricy for these but I would say it’s worth it because they are great. I also really appreciated that they let us sample anything and were really accommodating to my friend who has dietary restrictions. My only disappointment is that I was only visiting Colorado! Wish you guys would come to San Diego.

We came in to this spot so excited to order a hot bowl of oatmeal and fruit but immediately she told us they were out of that. It was 10am.We then ordered something else which took over 25 min to prepare. We were literally the only people in the restaurant. She was extremely rude and unfriendly. Food was very tasty and fresh, but the service was so poor, I won’t ever go back. Was a very odd and uncomfortable experience.The employee was training someone new who was actually super sweet. So I hope they hire her!

So much potential, but the delivery of the food is lacking. The aesthetic and menu items are awesome, yet Ive gone twice now and both times I waited about 20 + minutes for my food, and it was pretty underwhelming. I got the Power Greens, and there was a little bit of egg, and avocado then like a pound of unseasoned kale. I just wish it wasnt priced so high for food that is so incredibly sub par.

Review №68

Over charged us... Im vegan and when I asked to substitute just egg for the poached egg on their bowl they just charged me $3.50 and only gave me a tiny portion of just egg.... But took off the eggs originally on the bowl???? Also charged extra for coconut milk even though they asked if I wanted it in my coffee...and they told me they would bring the food outside to me. I sat for 20 mins waiting (and i tipped well) and then went back inside to see the food sitting on the counter.... I will never go back and wont recommend it. Lots of great vegan food in boulder - go somewhere else.

Quite simply, the food was not good and way way overpriced. Both my gf and I didn’t finish eating the meals we both ordered after just a couple bites.Leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth (literally) when you spend roughly $70 for breakfast and the food doesn’t taste good.

Very good organic and unique beverages and snacks. We got the Watermelon Ginger - very tasty and different. Great flavor. Not 5 star as the pricing is painfully high - $8 with tax for a 8-10 oz. drink. We got it because we wanted to try it, but ouch!
