Sol Bean Cafe Middleton

I could write a super long review but instead I’ll just highlight how I love that the owner, Danielle, is constantly switching up the menu with new items and goodies, all super healthy of course. The novelty makes it exciting to visit. For example, just recently I tried a vanilla chia pudding they had and wow I could have tubs of it.

I've been coming here since it was in the old location, and I have to say I miss some of the stuff they used to have on their menu. I used to get their bowls all the time, wish I remembered the names, or at least have kept their old menu so I could try to re-create some of their bowls. I understand they have to keep their customers interested by changing menu items from time to time so I totally understand that. But the main reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because they no longer make the juices fresh from order. I came in today and everything I ordered except for the wheat grass shot was already bottled. I told the girl at the front counter if she can make it fresh and she said they now try to keep away from the extracting juicers and just use the one other juicer/blender they keep in the back. She said only if the juice is "custom made" they will juice it fresh. I wanted to ask her if she can just pretend the juice im ordering is custom made lol but I held back to be polite....I guess the bottled juices arent bad, but the fact they are sitting in plastic doesnt sit well with me, aside from the fact they lose their nutritional properties the longer they sit. When I make my juices from scratch at home I drink them right away for that reason alone, i dont store anything so I can get the most benefits from them. Maybe because they are so busy they are trying to be more efficient to cater to mass production? I dont know, but I cant deny I am super bummed.
