There was general excitement at work today because the new Soul Origin had opened nearby. You know that place always in the middle of shopping centres that sells whatever salads?

Well, a Carl's Jr closed down near work and Soul Origin of all places moved in. This is a free standing building with a drivethrough. I probably won't go over the local cafes too much but at least I can get a coffee after 2 somewhere nearby now

I have found they do really nice food.

I'll probably end up having more of it now so I'll be able to develop more of an opinion. My biggest memory with them is i got the chicken schnitzel salad for my kids a while after they started solids and it was weirdly spicy so they couldn't eat it

Soul is good. It's a nice light lunch but still filling.

I always found soul origin to be a pretty decent lunch option

Soul Origin as a drive through? What a strange concept.
