Soup 'n Fresh: A Flavorful Return to Buffet Bliss

We went here today being as we're old fans of the other brands. This place was clean, fresh, happy, and everything delicious. The staff was attentive, the food was prepared fresh and the ingredients were abundant. Everything was as expected and more. Thank you for having us we will be back!!

The foods are so fresh. Friendly staff and they promptly collected the plates we finished the food. Wish they bring back tomato soup though. Thank you!

Went here with my sister as we both love the old Souplantation. We both agree that it would be cool if there were more protein options available, in addition to the chicken noodle soup and the Asian salad. Although I don't see myself going often because we live over 45 min away, I will def come back another time and hope one opens up at the vacant souplantation building in Arcadia, since that's closest. For me it's all 5 stars. EXCEPT I knocked down one because the focaccias needed to be baked longer. I got two with a raw bottom.. didn't say anything in person but I did here. Other than that, it was good and makes me happy a piece of the past is back. In a new form.

If you're in Rancho Cucamonga and craving variety, Soup ‘n Fresh is a hidden gem that delivers. The salad bar is incredibly impressive, offering an abundance of fresh toppings—everything from crisp cucumbers to roasted sunflower seeds, olives, cheeses, and more. You can customize your salad exactly how you like it. Beyond that, they offer a generous selection of soups—hearty, flavorful, and always hot. The baked potatoes are fluffy and warm, perfect with a scoop of sour cream or cheese. The mac & cheese and spaghetti are comforting and tasty, especially for families with kids. Don’t miss the dessert section—soft-serve ice cream and other sweets cap off the meal perfectly. The place is clean, the service is friendly, and the choices are unmatched for a buffet-style dining experience. It’s a perfect spot for a casual, satisfying meal that leaves you feeling both full and happy.

Imagine walking through a door and stepping back in time to 2019… that’s exactly how we felt walking into Soup ‘n Fresh tonight! If you ever ate at Souplantation ( one of many too many Covid casualties), then you’ll feel the same If it’s not the same group as before, then they must have bought the full playbook from them, recipes and all. Overall, flavors seem a little brighter than before, and I haven’t seen anyone walking around passing out chocolate chip cookies yet, but other than that, a very happy memory has returned. Tonight we came with our daughter from Austin to celebrate the birthday of our son Anton, who was taken in the Iraq war. Souplantation was one of his very favorite places to go, so tonight we got to enjoy many happy memories

Tried this place earlier in the year to make sure the comparison to the old Soup Plantation was accurate ... and it didn't disappoint. Definitely brought back the memories and nostalgia. Had to share that with my 2 other boys who have been out of state for college. It brought back the tastes and memories from childhood for them as well. Salad Bar selection is similar. We had the classic Clam Chowder. Cream of Mushroon, and Chili selections in the soup section. One thing they do have that the old Soup Plantation did not are local/ethnic soup selections. Today they had Posole- I added chopped onions, green onions, and radish- it blended well with the tender pork chunks and hominy, and flavorful broth. They had Abondigas the last time we went. Blueberry Muffin and Corn Bread with Honey Butter highlighted the Bakery section. And of coarse brownie or chocolate muffin with soft serve on top for Dessert. Those who miss the old Soup Plantation should give this a try. Only downside for us was the wait - about an hour in line. Had to push thru since the boys only had a limited time home before they flew back to school. Was worth it for us tho since the boys have been wanting to relive one of their favorite places to eat since they were kids. Soup 'n Fresh definitely did that for us.

My Visit to Soup ’N Fresh — Rancho Cucamonga I recently stopped by Soup ’N Fresh in Rancho Cucamonga and left genuinely impressed. Here’s a breakdown of what stood out: The Food I started with a bowl of the mushroom soup — rich, velvety and full of umami flavor; it felt handcrafted, not just canned. According to their menu, this is one of their featured soups. I also tried a bit of their pasta station offering — good portion size, al dente, and paired well with the freshly baked bread they had out. The salad bar was a highlight: crisp greens, a great variety of toppings (olives, roasted sunflower seeds, cheeses) and built-for‐you freshness. Don’t miss the baked goods: I sampled the blueberry muffin fresh from the bakery section — warm, slightly sweet, and a perfect “dessert” after the savory fare. It’s listed as a featured product on the menu. The Environment The dining room feels casual but well-kept — plenty of seating, bright but comfortable lighting, and you immediately get a cozy “homemade meal” vibe when you smell the soups simmering as you walk in. Why I’d Recommend It & Go Back Good variety: Soups, salads, bakery items — something for everyone (including kids and families). Freshness: The kitchen seems to prioritize using fresh ingredients, rotating soups and offering build-your-own salads. Value: You walk away feeling full and satisfied, which for the area was a win. Ambience: The setting is relaxed and friendly — perfect for a casual outing. Tip for Your Visit Go a little before peak (lunch rush) if you can — I noticed a short line building up. Grab a bowl of soup early, then head to the salad bar while waiting. And save room for one of their muffins or bakery treats!

Very filling for a salad buffet. The salads are of high quality, with a wide range of selections. The soups are also delicious, especially the mushroom soup and Korean beef bone soup.
