Zupas

If you're a soup and salad person, you may just love this place. A wide selection of soups, salads and sandwiches. I got the Thai salad and it was okay but not what I expected. Too much oil for my tastes. Everything is served with the white soft roll and chocolate-covered strawberry which was fun and tasty. I think because they cater to so many different tastes, their food is probably under seasoned but I don't know because I didn't have more than just the salad. The restaurant is cafeteria style. You order your food, they put it on a tray, and you take it to your table. I will say that I thought the trays were way too slippery; my food almost flew off. It was clean and light.

At my company, one of the usual caterer is Cafe Zupas. Like most chain stores where the food is cliche, I never went out my way to go try them; besides, it free at work. Until today, when I noticed one newly opened in the strip plaza, where I usually stop for lunch (love the variety). This was the last store in the plaza exiting onto 600 East. Outside has a seating area, with tables and chairs for outdoor eating. The interior looks very modern, and clean. I was greeted when entered (they wasn't busy), and immediately assisted with my order. I asked them for specials, and they recommended the combo (sandwich or salad, with soup). I ordered the "Vegetarian With Pesto Spread" on whole wheat bread sandwich, with the roasted red pepper and lobster soup. The team member recommended Croutons with my soup, which I added as a soup essential. It's a standard free add on in many places, but they charged me as "soup mix-in". The soup was very rich and savory, with vegetable and lobster pieces in creamy sweet red pepper base. I added the croutons and scooped it up with the bread roll that came with it-it was delicious. The sandwich was a bit cold (why are vegetarian sandwiches usually cold!) for my liking, the tofu and other veggies didn't mix and stay in the sandwich; there was no emulsifier to hold the content in place, so it just fell apart. It wasn't bad, but I think it would taste better if at least the bread was toasted or warm (next time). The end of the meal was perfect, with the chocolate dipped strawberry that came with the combo. I will return to try their other items, stay tuned till next time!

Great Cobb Salad. Everything is fresh and its very affordable. Staff were friendly. I would definitely return! Good place for a healthy quick meal.

I really appreciate the service. I was having a little trouble ordering online and I called the store and they helped me out and got my food and made it perfectly. The service is always great!

Great food! Great service! I recommend the turkey bacon avocado. Come here if you can!
