What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Revolutionary Soup is lauded for its delicious and flavorful soups and amazing sandwiches, with many highlighting the cozy and artistic atmosphere. However, some diners have noted concerns regarding slow service and the cleanliness of the establishment, particularly the restrooms.
"On a cold, rainy fall day, a bowl of hot soup is a great idea. If you're in this town, make sure Revolutionary Soup is providing that soup.
They have a pick two option that lets you try a half sandwich (served as a wrap) and a small soup. We each had one plus a third small soup on the side for a total of five menu options. Every single one of them would be worth having again on their own. Among the soups, though, the lamb curry truly stood out as an outstanding flavor. Both the Kickin' Chicken and Thai Chicken wraps were amazing."

"What a hidden gem!!!!! This feeling is only enhanced when you walk through the door to this quaint yet spacious reprieve from your day. The staff is amazing and the customers always smiling. Got a great recommendation and was totally satisfied. I didn’t order one but watching their perfectly crafted wraps being served was tempting. The wraps were layered evenly and looked picture perfect. This is a place you MUST seek out when in the area."

GRN Burger & Botanical Fare: Charlotesville Vegan Diners
If you love soup, this is your go to spot for vegetarian and vegan soup options. Back before I developed a peanut allergy (heartbreaking) I was a huge fan of their vegan Peanut Tofu Soup with ginger, garlic, chiles, and tomatoes blended with peanuts topped with tofu, cilantro, and scallions. Honestly, I probably game myself the allergy from eating this too much.

The reason being the portion sizes seem small for the price, but I'm going to add the caveat that I live in a rural area, where things are dirt cheap. So it's likely my bias. That aside, the food was great.
