Fantastic Tofu Scramble & More - Edit
We decided to make this a road trip stop, and we are so glad we did.
Read moreAll of the ingredients in the spring rolls were so fresh it's like they had just been pulled from the garden.
And both the Ethiopian and the Tofu Scramble bowls were top notch, both being very flavorful, healthy, and satisfying.
Pros: Flavorful, Fresh, Variety

I really wanted to like it more - Edit
I got the daily special - an African tofu dish. It had a lot of chewy tofu and a thin sauce, but no vegetables. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t feel like a “full” meal. I’ll come back again and clarify that what I order includes veggies.

My go-to for a quick and filling vegan meal - Edit
I've been going to The Full Bowl for years. The No Coast bowl is always delicious. It can easily be made vegan with cashew cream in place of cheese. I think the cheese option for the bowl topping is the only non-vegan thing about this place.
Read morePros: Quick, Healthy, Delicious
Cons: Small menu

CR staple - Edit
The full bowl has become a staple for me when I’m in town. I love that there’s so many vegan options here when I’m at NewBo and it’s all been delicious!

Reliably delicious - Edit
I always try to stop here when in Cedar Rapids. The food is reliably tasty, filling, and they always have an interesting weekly special. Go here for warming, healthy comfort food. And don't forget a cornbread muffin. 😊
Read morePros: Everything is vegan by default, Wonderful owner, Food is always delicious
Cons: Serves dairy cheese as an option

Delish - Edit
A few choices that will fit most every diet. So much flavor in dish. Seems expensive for the quantity but remember you are paying the appropriate cost for food.
Read morePros: Vegan and gluten free options.

Great flavor - Edit
We got the NoCoast bowl and the red beans and rice. Added the vegan sausage to the red beans and each got a corn bread muffin. Everything was great! Flavorful and filling.

Tasty! - Edit
This place is INSIDE Newbo Market if anyone gets lost. I got a small no coast bowl with a side of vegan cornbread and vegan sausage for $9.50
Read moreThe seitan sausage wasn't bad at all I just chopped it up and put it in my bowl. The cornbread tasted like cornbread. A tad bit dry but had corn kernals in it! The actual bowl was pretty good, I enjoyed it, had fun flavor combinations and cashew cream. They have two other bowl options that are more curry inspired. The only thing is price vs how much food I get. I could get a vegan burrito bowl from Chipotle for the same price and have food left over when I was done eating.
Pros: All three bowl options are vegan, Vegan sides, Fun soda flavors
Cons: Price

Always on point. - Edit
I've tried a number of bowls at the Full Bowl, and they're consistently delicious. The chana masala has a nice amount of heat. All of the food feels healthy without being boring. I've tried the baked goods on a few occasions too - including a cookie & corn bread. They were both terrific.

Pros: Healthy food that isn't boring, Good price point, The owner is very pleasant
Cons: It's just in a food court, The sausage in the red beans bowl could be tastier, One time the avocado was brown

Perfect Bowl, - Edit
I ordered the medium-size No Coast bowl and it was very flavorful and satisfying. I also ordered a vegan corn muffin that had some nice chewy kernels in it; yum! I think this is a good value for the money and I will try to get back there before I leave town.

Fresh and Delicious vegan meals on the go - Edit
Many vegans around me recommended it, so we gave it a try. All food we got was delicious and fresh.
Read moreNo Coast Bowl: I could taste each ingredient disrinctly and at the same time, they mingled well. I especially liked the mild kick of green onion and cilantro in the mix. Black bean was soft and melted in my mouth. Two of us shared the bowl and a couple of side dishes together, and I wished we had ordered the large bowl instead of the regular.
Vegan corn muffin: a must item! It's only $1.50 and it's worth every penny. Very savory, not so sweet, and crumbly with real corn kennels inside. Lots of fun chewing it and also filling.
Grilled vegan sausage: they use Tofurky brand. It's half of a sausage stick. I wish they use a whole. Oh, well. It went well with the corn muffin and the bowl. It would be a bit dry to eat it by itself.
They don't have vegan cheese on their menu, so I asked. They said when they tried it a while ago, they didn't like the taste. I recommended that they try one by Follow Your Heart.
Note that this is a booth in an indoor market. So you pick up your food and eat in the seating area or out in the lawn. They also change menu frequently and have a limited open hour.
Pros: fresh and delicious food, best vegan corn muffin ever!
Cons: no vegan cheese option, limited hours due to being in a market , all plates and utensils are disposable
