The soups are good, they have a nice selections of classics (Chicken Noodle) and newer flavors (Morrocan Chicken). You get a choice of bread or crackers or you can do the half a sandwich. The prices are a little higher as others have stated but I think it's worth it. I actually spend the last 31 of my 32 years of life despising soup and for some reason I've changed my palate. This place is definitely a nice way to enter into the world of soup. For a once in a while treat or something to warm you in the warm Winter weather this is a great place.
I had two wisdom teeth pulled and Hale & Hearty became my best friend for a week. That was literally all I ate. So i've pretty much sampled every soup on the menu. By far my favorite is the creamy tomato soup with orzo and chicken. It's really good. This location though is really lacking, you can tell that the staff here would rather be anywhere else, but scooping soup into bowls.
Love that they have calorie content for all their soups and sandwiches. So much variety and they switch things up every so often.
This location gets pretty jam packed around noon but I was just there (around 11) And the store was nearly empty.
Great customer service, clean and tidy store, lots of ways to get discounts for local people. Love it!
The only drawback is that parking is kind of a nightmare unless you come in the evening however they close pretty early.
There's nothing I love more than a good sandwich!
Great, fresh sandwiches at very reasonable prices. I didn't get to try the soup, but the selection was huge and they looked great.
I really wish this place was open on the weekends.
The line is always long around lunch, but it's the best soup/sandwich/salad place in the area. The prices are kind of high.
I love Hale and Hearty's soup, but I never really know how to review a Hale and Hearty location. I mean, of course they have a great selection of soups… but that's not a locational thing. That's a chain thing. Every small cup of chicken pot pie from one location tastes just as delicious as a small cup of chicken pot pie from another. Similarly, I'm sure that my cup of cream of chicken with rice would have been just as great if it had come from another place in the city.
So I guess I have to rate on service. Service here was ok, and only ok. My friend and I made a line next to the soups. My friend was served. He paid while I remained in the "line" by myself. At the same time he finished paying, someone came in for a salad. She begin serving the salad woman. I was all like "um what excuse me?" I was clearly waiting to be served. I don't like that.
I'm sure H&H beats out McDonald's on the totem pole of chain restaurants, but a big thumbs down goes to their extremely high prices. Which I guess is no big freaking deal if you're only buying it every once in awhile as a break from leftovers but I don't know how sustainable it is if you're thinking about getting their soups every day.
Soups – the lowest chicken noodle soup goes for $3.39. And their small is maybe four or five big bites, tops. Sucks because most of their soups are amazing, like their potato and four cheese one or even basic chicken noodle, but the prices are pretty much thievery. It'd be one thing if they had to grow their soup ingredients from Malaysia and ship it all the way to Brooklyn, but I have absolutely no idea why a small soup that could sit in the palm of my hand should be that expensive. Here's an idea: if you're buying a salad or sandwich, it's only $2 or one dollar less than if you just bought the soup by itself. Next time your friend is feeling more like salad/sandwich, just ask her to get the soup as well and save that dollar for your next Metrocard.
Salads – The four free ingredients are carrots, croutons, red onions, … and darn it, something else that begins with a C. Be careful of the prices, because all the other ingredients start adding it up and before you know it, you're paying upwards of $10 for a small salad with some pretty basic ingredients.
Sandwiches – who knows? Maybe I'll try them five weeks from now.
