Good Spoon Soupery

There are some places that make you feel glad to live where you do. Good Spoon Soupery is that kind of place for me. Every one of their soups is a treat. Their muffins are heavenly — light, fresh, full of flavor, and, if the gods are smiling on you that day, warm! Once I find something I love, I stick with it, so there are lots of things on the menu that I can’t describe. But I think this one thing can speak for everything else — if you ask them for a taste of a soup, they go through the trouble to put a full garnish on it. They’re proud of what they do in the most unpretentious, down-​to-​earth kind of way. That’s pretty special.

I love this place but wish they would use less ingredients from a can and invest in new spoons instead of letting customers eat from old scratched up ones

Love this place! Delicious, fresh soups and super friendly staff. Just moved to the neighborhood and I’m sure I will be back soon and often.

Amazing soups and great healthy salads and sandwiches choices !!! I tried kale and chorizo soup and fell in love with it !
Down side — the place is really small and if the weather is bad there is no sitting outside !

OMG
We celebrated mothers day at the Good Spoon and the soups delicious. I had the Meatball and I ran to the El Bar got a six pack and had a wonderful time. The best thing in this place is the food but the services is simply wonderful. I highly, recommend the Good Spoon for anyone looking for health, delicious and amazing service.
Try the Potato Leek soup then close it with a Meatball sandwich. Oh! and great health sweets.
Hope to see you there.

There are not as many souperies in Philadelphia as I would like but fortunately there is a great one on Front Street in Old Kensington called Good Spoon Soupery. The homemade soups served up here are extremely tasty. They frequently change (especially by the seasons) but you can check what soups are currently on offer by checking their Twitter page. I recently enjoyed a wonderful curried carrot ginger soup with French bread. They also have assorted sandwiches and salads as well as a nice selection of deserts. I recommend the lemon squares.
If you are in the mood for a great bowl of soup, then Good Spoon Soupery should be on your radar!

A really nice small place to get your soups. I stumbled upon it with my girlfriend the other day, and she really loves her soup. we went in and got their chili and their onion soups, which were both really good. the chili were a bit on the sweeter side for my liking, but they balanced it out with some cheddar cheese on top. she really enjoyed her onion soup and finished in about 4.5 seconds. they had a selection of 5 soups for that day, but had a lot more in the fridge. their prices are good and everything looks great. I would definitely say this is a must-​go for a soup-​lover, especially when it’s chilly outside.

I wanted soup. My friend brought me to Good Spoon. I came in, scanned the place and immediately wanted to leave. The words «vegan»,“vegetarian”, & «gluten-​free» caught my eye one too many times. I asked my friend if we could leave, I wanted my soup to have flavor after all. He was insistent on staying so he ordered food while I stared at their menu in disgust.
He ordered the turkey and white bean chili which came with a side of bread. Once I caught a whiff of the chili, I had to have a bite. Then I couldn’t stop. It was so good! And the bread. I needed more. I wish I got one of those containers of refrigerated soups on the way out because now I’m craving their turkey chili.
I’ll definitely be back. And will order myself next time.

I had the lentil soup with a side of coconut rice and whole grain bread. Then for dessert I enjoyed one of their blueberry muffins and what a fantastic lunch that was! I also purchased several of their grocery items to take home. I bought maple syrup, frozen soup, a salad and a myriad of other prepared foods.
I will definitely come back to this place.

Everything in this place is right in my wheelhouse. I am such a soup fan. If I am not making it I am looking for some decent options when I am out. It was a bit chilly when I arrived in the city and Good Spoon seemed like the logical choice for a late lunch.
I had the Black Bean and Sweet Potato soup with the multigrain bread and had a taste of my friend’s Senegalese Chicken Stew. Both were delicious. The former, a thick soup with a hint of what seemed like a smokey chipotle seasoning. The latter had a strong pea-​nutty flavor with the texture more like a stoup than a traditional stew.
The sandwiches on the list as well as the side salads were all tempting — and don’t even get me started on the Peanut Butter Cup cupcake I nearly caved and bought.
I’ll absolutely be back next time I am in the area… and I’ll be sure to save room for the sweets.

Small, cute, and tasty! Whole place seats 12, and lots of people take it to go. They’ll let you sample the soups before ordering, which I appreciate a lot. Pretty pricey, for soup and a drink I spent over $ 10. Great atmosphere and staff

LOVE! Potato Leek and Smoked Black Bean are delish. Nice small place with cheery folks behind the counter. I make a trip here whenever I’m in the neighborhood.

Yes! I am a huge fan of soup. In from out of town and needed lunch. What a great find. They will let you sample the soups before you decide. There were 4 choices today. (Gazpacho, Summer Squash, Sweet Corn and Poblano Bisque, Chicken tortilla with corn and black beans)
Would love to have even more choices or the ability to order soup in the style of a beer flight so that I could get a great taste of each!

The best soups ever master crafting and attention to details … Local seasonal and super fresh … Always four varieties to try … They also have salads and sandwiches… staff is delightful

What a welcome addition to Fishtown! I have been wanting to come here for a little while and found myself in the area around lunchtime today. Even just driving by, the building is beautiful, with a clean logo, fresh paint, and pretty greenery growing up the side. The inside left nothing to be desired– everything was well done and aesthetically pleasing.
Although everything on the menu sounded tasty, I wanted to try the soup. You can sample any flavor, and they had four today (as well as many frozen soups in other flavors that you can purchase and take home). The first soup that intrigued me was a truffled cauliflower. I got a sample and was blown away. As if he read my mind, the man working there assured me that the delicious creaminess was not just from cream, but that it was mostly just cauliflower and leeks with a small amount of cream. I was totally sold, and took a medium size home with me. You also get a small piece of bread (choice of french or multi-​grain) with each order. It’s a nice touch, and definitely not big enough to make me feel guilty. There is also a case full of seriously swoon-​worthy pastries (cookies, biscuits, brownies. etc). I’ll save those for next time!

Ladies and gentlemen, I love soup. It’s a quick way to satisfy a hunger and fill your mouth with delicious flavored without worrying about that chewing nonsense. Needless to say I was curious to try this local spot that devoted itself to this liquid culinary form.
I have to say, I was truly impressed. The inside had a nice homey feel (though not incredibly big) and the options were diverse and tempting. The offering I went with today was the curried red lentil soup w/​additional coconut rice for an extra 50 cents (well worth it!). I got home with this to go bowl and was soo impressed. It was warm, homey, and delicious. Not too thick, not to thin, just enough curry, and well complemented by the coconut rice. It truly hit the spot.
I’ll definitely go back to try some told the other tempting offers such as the curry chicken salad sandwich, kale salad, or any of the many soups (which seem to shift daily). Further, it’s located in a good spot and has got real friendly staff. Now what are you waiting for? Soup away, folks, soup away.

Agree with the other reviews on here-​this place has become my FAVORITE lunch/​afternoon snack place around. I work just a block up the road and my colleagues and I come here no less than 2 times a week, and have already become friends with the staff!
Their daily soups seem to rotate every few days, but your favorite one always comes around again (plus, if you’re craving one and it’s not on the menu, you can usually find a quart to buy in their fridge). Many of their soups are vegan, dairy free, gluten free, or a combination, but that doesn’t mean they’re short on taste. I absolutely love the mushroom velouté and smoky black bean when you want something light, and the Senegalese chicken stew and red curried lentil when you want something more filling (be sure to get the coconut rice for 50 cents extra!) the prices are moderate too-​you can always get a bowl for under $ 8.
In addition to the soups, they seem to be adding other pastries and goodies daily-​I have a hard time saying no to the cheddar biscuit or the hand pies. They just started carrying ‘zsazettes’, which is the most delicious, decadent sorbets I’ve ever had.
It’s definitely a smaller place (10 chairs max), so we usually take it to go, but the charm and quality can’t be beat! Follow their Instagram to get a look at their daily soups.

Im very impressed with the soupery! I vaguely knew of it when I decided when I was walking home from an errand, to stop by and support a new local business. It was a very good decision.
The atmosphere is clean and contemporary yet warm and welcoming. Thanks also to the staff that were perfect, informative and friendly. I decided to go with the Morroccan vegetable chick pea stew and it changed my life (at least for a week or so).
I love that it was so unique, delicious and perhaps even more healthy than my average lunch. I later got a chance to try their soup at the brewer’s plate event in the city and fell in love with their soups there.
I am glad theyre part of the hood. I hope everyone shows up to say hi the way I did. They will love it.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite places to eat. It’s healthy, quality, feels-​like-​home cooking and it’s right around the corner from me.
I’m probably lying about the feels like home cooking part because I’ve never been very good at making soups. This is delicious and they always have vegetarian and vegan options on their ever rotating menu.
No, I’m not vegan either, though some might consider me an honorary one (Tom M.!).
Winter is coming. Be sure to have plenty of soup to keep warm!

Soups from scratch. I tried the Mushroom Velouté which was silky, vegetarian and loaded with flavor. I actually drank it in the car on my way to a meeting. Every soup comes with crusty bread — multigrain or French — and you can upgrade to a gruyère biscuit if you want to. There are about 4 – 5 soups on at a time.
The space is cute with a nice counter and a few tables. You can buy quarts of the soup which are available in the reach in freezer. I also noticed they are big supporters of other local businesses (Weckerly’s Ice Cream sandwiches, Green St Coffee, to name a few).
