Life In Scottsdale

“At Soma our mission is to redefine the way a company can interact with today’s active consumer through a community-based network of stores that focus on great food, coffee & nutrition shakes and act as each community’s center for information on health, fitness, nutrition, and wellness.”

 Well now!!  That is quite an ambitious mission statement.  I wish you the best, because I love your food and your coffee.  But I wonder, is a nutritional shake really worth the focus of your mission in the world?  That is not for me to say.  I found it unusual, but then again, I have a smoothie 7 days a week, so maybe I should reevaluate.

The Soma Cafe is a pretty popular place a little bit along the lines of Pita Jungle.  It’s food is more traditional (they actually have a hamburger).  There is definitely an emphasis on healthy food.  The burger comes standard with an Avocado, and they have things like high protein oatmeal, multi-grain pancakes with whole wheat flour, oats, and flaxseeds, and eggs with 99% fat free turkey bacon.  I’m always happy to find a restaurant that cares about healthy food, because I hate cooking and I love eating well.  High speed Internet is available.  Another bonus of the Soma Cafe is that they seems to hire only 17-21 year old cute girls and the company is tight pajamas.  Great coffee, too.  If you are a guy, I would not go here with your girlfriend.  I always get yelled at for staring at the workers.  Oh, I forgot to mention: It’s affordable, casual, and located at the NW corner of Tatum and Shea.
