Lunch in the City – Soul Soup

140-10020 101A Avenue NW (Rice Howard Way, across from the former Praha Bistro)
(780) 409-8272

Hours: M-F 11a-5p

Braved the rain today to go to Soul Soup with co-workers.  Soul Soup is run by the guys who do Culina and they strive for fresh, tasty, local ingredients.  They switch up the menu everyday and I was happy to see that their veg option could be celiac-friendly if you were so inclined.

Ate: Split pea and ham soup in the size of medium.

Paid: $7

I am very, very full.  How Nathan conquered a large is beyond me.  We’re attempting to establish #soulsoup but this is still in progress and doesn’t happen everyday.  Also worth while to note that grouping together some friends and getting a bigger size to take back to the office is a much cheaper way to go.

Lunch in the City – Credo

http://www.credocoffee.ca/

Location: 104st and North of Jasper, next to Taco Del Mar

Cost: $9.50

Ate: Veg Panini and a rootbeer

Came across this review via a tweet from @mastermaq and so decided to check it out today.

Good: nice decor, friendly staff, food nummy

Bad: limit on number of sandwiches made daily.  After they are gone, you are out of luck.  Four co-workers > 3 sandwiches so there was an odd man out who opted for A&W instead.  We were there about 12:30p I figure.

I didn’t try the coffee but if I can remember, I will tomorrow.  A co-worker had a macchiato and proclaimed it really good.

At the very least, it’s nice to have a coffee place so close to work – hmm, you know, because that extra half a block to Axis was so inconvenient, oops.

***Update***

So I remembered to stop for coffee.  This is the best americano I’ve ever had.  I am now very impressed.
