I come here relatively often for lunch during the week, especially on a cold day. Their hearty soups and stews are filling and warming and the bread served with them is warm and fluffy. I like that you can taste things before ordering and while the food seems relatively healthy, I do find that a lot of times they lack salt. Is it the best food? No, but it's a good option for a healthy-ish, quick lunch.
I've been here for lunch & I appreciate the variety of fresh soups & stews. I think I'm going to be coming here a lot more since it's getting colder. I wish they had a small soup/half sandwich option though.
I adore Mom's and it's one of my go to lunch spots. They have vegetarian and gluten free options, so it's a great place if you have any dietary restrictions. The staff is warm and friendly and will gladly allow you to try multiple options. They'll even explain what's in each. My favorites are their smokey beef chili, their spicy chicken jambalaya (sausage in there too) and any of their stews.
Warning: it's much pricier than you'd expect, a soup and a drink will cost over $10. It's always worth it to me though.. especially in the winter! Nothing better than delicious, hot soup!
This place is alright, the main reason why I frequent this place is simply due to its proximity with NYU (I'm a student there). I personally think the soups are mediocre at best, and at a price of ~$7-$9 per cup, it's really not the most economical ratio of price to quality/quantity. They offer their soups in small or large sizes, and when it's appropriate they have the option of serving it on rice (like jambalaya on rice, but not clam chowder on rice). As of the last time I went (like April 2013) they did not have breadbowls. The sandwiches are actually pretty good, but for its price and size sometimes I'm drawn to the neighboring subway instead simply because for a buck or two cheaper I can get a sandwich literally double the size.
*** Great selection of soup/stew, Amazing service, Cozy spot ***
Although there isn't much seating, I would highly recommend coming here if you're interested/craving soup or stew. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. You can taste test all the selections to decide what you want to order. All soup and stew comes with fresh bread.
Why did it take me so long to find this place? It's got pretty great soup. Love the beef barley and the bread isn't bad either
Great vegan soup options + generous sized salads or soup/salad combos. Staff isn't friendly at all, they're quite short in answering any questions about the soups.
"How much is a medium?"
MC: "It's on the board.
::Eyes scanning all over::
MC: $6. It says $6.
I hope they take in a little sunshine but the food is great so, I deal. Our communication is at a minimum but efficient.
I'm a fan here, like it personally. May not be 4-star for everyone I recon. They used to have sandwiches which I miss but the soups and stews are good and homey. They have a few veg-x options. Their salads and parfaits are also popular, and can also be found in the NYU Stern cafeteria, but I don't buy anything in disposable plastic. I can't eat this on a reg. basis but I hit this place like once a week or so bc I work around there.
Ask the girls for their recommendation because a few items are similar to each other. One of the girls that work here is super great especially (Fer) I like her. I forgot to tip today even after they gave me free extra-bread so I'm leaving a good review on yelp instead but will 2ble-tip you next time!
