Old and young congregate in this small eatery to chow down on one of the soups du jour--12 are served hot every day. During the summer months, the Soupbox becomes the Icebox, changing the focus from soups to Italian ice. They still serve nine soups daily and about 25 "icy fruits" in flavors like lemon, raspberry and grape.

This Place is cool. The staff seems so laid back like your in their home. Split Pea and Ham is the best. Highly Reccomend!
