Mostly a "to go" place with a bit of outside seating--we took our order to the riverside park a few blocks away for a delightful lunch with a view. The bowl of "Negative Calorie Soup" I ordered was phenomenal -- best soup broth I've ever...had + lots of delicious veggies. Light & refreshing. I'm still thinking about it days later and would go out of my way to order it again. My husband's chicken salad wrap was also great. Staff is very welcoming. Altogether, a lovely experience!More

Cute little spot just off the highway. Yummy, hearty soups and sandwiches. Lovely service. It’s a must stop in Bath.

We recently purchased a home in Bath right down the street form Run With Soup. I had been reading the reviews and couldn’t wait to try it. I wasn’t disappointed. The soups are amazing (the Flu-Chaser is especially good). The salads are equally as good....The homemade desserts are delicious as well, without being overwhelmingly sweet. We will be coming here often.More

Run with Soup began as a delivery service for the housebound and the elderly. The soup was so popular that the owner/chef started a cafe in Bath. Despite its out-of-the way location, RwS quickly became a favorite place for lunch. The menu is creative and...varied, the food perfectly prepared. Everything is made from scratch, with excellent ingredients. The menu changes weekly, with two soup options, the best sandwiches ever, several salads and sides, and devilishly good pastry. I stock up before the holidays (don't miss the salmon chowder). I also check FB at the beginning of the week to see what's on the menu! The service is personable and efficient. It's obviously well-run because the atmosphere is warm and convivial. The owner has worked very hard to make RwS a well-deserved success, without losing sight of its personal attention to its customers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.More

My husband and I are regulars here, and after countless lunches we still marvel at the delicious soups, creative menu (which changes weekly), and the delightful staff, who make everyone feel like family. This is a terrific little spot, frequented by both locals and visitors...who make the short trek from downtown (it’s totally worth seeking out; you won’t get a better lunch anywhere in Bath). The soups are always creative, fresh and delicious, and there is always a vegetarian and gluten free option on the menu. The sandwiches are huge, just as delicious as the soup, and everything is reasonably priced. Lots of parking, too!More

We look forward to our weekly lunches at Run with Soup as a highlight in our retirement life. The menu is limited to three soups and one sandwich and other salads etc a week, different offerings every week, always flavorful and inventive. The Soup Chef...and all around cook/baker etc is also the owner who has created a brilliant model of service. Staff are super friendly. There is a very short wait as the menu is mostly already made, the salads and sandwiches just need to be constructed and the latter grilled to perfection ( I don’t eat sandwiches anywhere else). It can get very busy but it moves along quickly. Each time we have had to wait, some lingerers offer us their table graciously — everyone is so considerate because of the general sense of good will there. Plus you can take out soups for dinner or to freeze... very handy. A Gem, as other reviewers have said.More

The soups and sandwiches here are wonderful. I love the chicken salad sandwich and the mushroom soup is superb. I loved everything about the place until I saw the owner ask an elderly couple to leave since they were not eating fast enough for her....The poor lady was still eating her lunch! Since I have grey hair too I most likely not return in fear that I will be asked to leave too!More

(A little late with with this review as we went in Aug. and it is now Nov. - but this place was so good and the owner so nice I have been reminding myself to write the review since then.) OMG - SO YUMMY! The...only negative is that if you are just a visitor to Bath the location doesn't draw you in (we actually thought we were lost getting there)- BUT DON'T TURN AROUND - GO AND YOU WILL LOVE IT. It is not a picturesque setting, but once you get inside and start tasting all the DELICIOUS, FRESHLY MADE foods (everything from the soup/sandwiches/quiche/sweets was incredible) - you won't be thinking about anything except how happy you are you walked through the door :)More

If you're staying in Bath, it's well worth it to find your way to Runs With Soup. It's less than a mile from downtown Bath, in what was once a small hospital. The space is small, but clean as a whistle and pleasant. There is...a rotating--and sometimes mind-boggling--variety of delicious soups, chili, sandwiches, quiche, vegetable and potato salads, mac&cheese and desserts. Some of my favorites are the smoky gouda mac&cheese, maple sweet potato soup with chipotle and bacon (oh yeah, it's as good as it sounds), corn chowder, chicken stew and the cuban sandwich. But that just scratches the surface. Check out their Facebook page if you want to get an idea of what you might find from week to week. It's a nice enough space to eat in, but taking food home or to where you're staying is fantastic. In addition to hot ready-to-serve food, they also stock soup in containers and to-go portions of some of their other dishes. If I was on my own, I might never cook, but just stock my fridge with food from this place. You're not going to just stumble across this place, but it's easy to find when you're looking for it, and you should definitely look for it.More

No doubt about it, this is the place for the best soup around. Sandwiches are not to be missed. Everything tastes home made, probably because it is. Fast friendly service. Great place to meet friends.

I take an older friend to lunch frequently, and since we discovered this cafe, nothing compares. The salads are unique combos, sandwiches delectable. I love their quiche. The counter service is pleasant, generous answers to questions. Serve yourself water and coffee, spacious, sunny seating area,...though not many tables. Takeout is available and portions are often enough for a take-home container. Not in downtown, but three minutes out and no parking issues...ever. I have not dared try the beautiful in-house baked goods because I would love them!More

My partner and I decided to try Run with Soup after so many of our friends said the food has been amazing here! Well, they were right! We ordered an arrange of items because we just couldn’t decide on one thing. We ordered: Gypsy soup...(Spanish style veggie soup), cranberry pecan chicken salad sandwich, spaghetti pasta salad, Mediterranean salad, one raspberry scone, one carrot date scone, and I forget the name, but it was a salad with red onions, pecans, Granny Smith apples, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Everything was beyond delicious!!! For all of these items, it cost us just over $40. Not bad at all if you’re willing to spend a bit more than average but it’ll be worth it. I also uploaded some pictures too, of the chicken salad sandwich, the salad (whose name I forgot), the spaghetti pasta salad, and the raspberry scone. The service was exceptional, very friendly and they offered up some suggestions (as we really couldn’t decide). Run With Soup puts their menu on Facebook every Sunday. The menu changes each week.More
