Sweet Tomato is a buffet restaurant that offers a huge selection of choice at its salad bar and also offers lots of choice for soup, pasta, and other bakery items. Most of its selections are very healthy and are all vegetable based except on few soup selections. This is a great place to go to after having a great work out. There is a 24 Hour Fitness right next to the restaurant and I have seen many people coming to here for lunch after the work out. The restaurant does not have afternoon break either, thus I can really see myself spend the whole afternoon here to relax.
Sweet Tomato is convenient located right around Highway 26 and Cornell street. (forgot to take a picture of the restaurant sigh this time, but it should be easy to find) Thus it is very easy to get to for people coming for Portland. There is also a lot of seating in the restaurant to accommodate a lot of people. Most of the time you can just sit wherever you want, but if there is too many people, the server will guide you to the table.
On this beautiful Saturday morning after a heavy rain in the Northwest, we decided to pay a visit to Sweet Tomato. We walked into the entrance and the salad bar is right in front of you. First we prepared our salad from the selection of the salad bar and then pay at the register at the end of the salad bar. Sweet Tomato often have discount coupons that is $9.99 for a person with beverages. After we paid at the register, we headed to our table.
Once we sat down at our table, we went to get our drink, soup, pastry, and pasta. The selection of the soup is amazing. It has chowder, chicken noodle, minestrone, and other soup. There are 8 different soup is total. My favorite one is corn chowder, it is just amazing! At the pasta bar, there are 3 different pasta to choose from. All these pasta are freshly cooked on the spot and very fresh! There is also a bar where bakery good is at and it has pastries, baked potatoes, and pizza. Baked potato is really good and you can add sour cream, onion, salsa, and cheese.
After having completing al the main course meal, Sweet Tomato also has dessert bar with ice cream, yellow, and fruit. I like the ice cream a lot. The ice cream has 2 flavors with vanilla and chocolate. I also added some Oreo crumbles on it to have some crunchy texture. In addition, the chocolate brownie is really fresh. It was still hot and crunchy. I really love it. I am not a big fan of small muffins so I did not try any, but it should be very good too.
Overall, Sweet Tomato is a great place to go to for enjoying healthy food diet and try different flavor of soup and salad!
