Sobol - Islip

My family and I (vegan) love sobol. all their smoothies and shells are vegan without honey, but I don't think their waffles are. they offer vegan protein to supplement smoothies and have a lot of toppings for dishes. they have three types of dishes; açaí, pitaya and green. they also have coffee what I heard is good. what I really enjoy about sobol is that her granola is homemade and completely vegan and they also offer nut-free granola! the only cons are the prices and the fact that it is not completely organic.

My non-vegan family and I (vegan) love Sobol. All of their smoothies and bowls are vegan without honey, but I believe their waffles aren’t. They offer vegan protein to add to smoothies and have a variety of toppings for bowls. They have three types of bowls; açaí, pitaya, and green. They also have coffee, which I’ve heard is good. What I really enjoy about Sobol is that their granola is homemade and completely vegan and they offer nut-free granola as well! The only cons are the prices and the fact that it’s not completely organic.

I have been dining at this restaurant for a while now, but today I noticed a significant decrease in quality. It is disappointing because the staff from 2019-2020 was very friendly and the fruit was not cut terribly. Additionally, the owner was rude. If you are looking for another açaí spot, I recommend trying the place across the street. Edit: I just ate halfway through my bowl and found a strawberry, even though I had specifically requested that strawberries be removed from my sunshine bowl due to an allergy. If I could give this place a lower rating, I would. I hope I do not have a severe reaction now.

I used to enjoy going to SoBol, but after my recent experience, I will not be returning. When I walked in, I was completely ignored by the staff who were busy on their phones video chatting with friends and preparing açaí bowls for them. While I waited for my order, another friend of the staff came in and she immediately made their bowl while I sat there for 20 minutes. In contrast, the staff at the Hauppauge SoBol location were friendly and hardworking. I will not be visiting the Islip location again, as it is clear that they prioritize certain customers over others. If you do not want to be ignored while spending your money, I recommend avoiding this location.

The counter at the restaurant was staffed by high school kids who seemed indifferent to orders. My bowl was not made correctly, so I politely asked for a new one. Instead of replacing it, the worker offered to give me extra ingredients in a side cup, which I found lazy and unsatisfactory. I expected better service for the price I paid. Eventually, the worker added the extra ingredients on top of my bowl, making it difficult to eat. Overall, I was disappointed with the service at this restaurant.
