I haven’t placed a review in a while because I have been doing lots of deliveries, and I hate reviewing them, but this one is a must. I just received my order and opened the packaging. We ordered a brisket sandwich, and it was just as others said – there was more bread than meat. It was a tiny ciabatta with a small amount of brisket it was the saddest sandwich I have ever seen. The box the sandwich came in was about 70% larger than the sandwich. I was too mad to take out the camera. But I got a chocolate-covered strawberry most likely to calm my rage from seeing such a tiny sandwich. On a good note, the microscopic pieces of brisket were tender and good, that’s the only reason for the 1 star.
Then I opened my lobster bisque. I am not sure who the people are eating lobster bisque these days, but this bisque was salty and did not have that homemade taste. It was not creamy at all, and the Lunds bisque is 100x better if you don’t believe me, try it. They even skimped on the veggies in it. It was tomatoes and salt, and well, some bad quality frozen lobster. Then I got the wild rice blend on the side. Like some mentioned, it’s literally a spoonful. The rice was tasteless with no seasoning whatsoever and it measured exactly 1 tablespoon. The roll was not that great it was bland.
On a positive note, my girlfriend ordered a salad, and the salad was actually very good, and the size was a good size and had lots of flavors. I have nothing negative to say about that everything was right including the lettuce and greens looking fresh.
I am not sure how this place got such a high rating unless it’s all salad orders. I did notice on other platforms it’s almost 4.5+, their taste buds must be missing, or people must not know what good food is anymore. I rarely leave 1 star reviews but had to on this one.

The location is perfect, Display of the food options-great, the attitude of the employees really great, fun, engaging, positive. The freshness of the food was really good, extra bread nice option but it was too gummy, strawberry in chocolate-nice. Drink station was not very appealing but it was ok . The patio , especially during the sunny days great addition but Zupa has to work to make it look nicer , add some shrubs, green screens etc…see how they do in Europe in this situation, you will be amazed. The wine bar or even beer bar would be nice to have but well we are in Minnesota…so many regulations…Overall I really like to come here .Food is really good and fresh. Thank you guys. P.S. Soups selection is fantastic!

Food it is great, simple. The service is a little slow but they get it done. The chocolate strawberries are delicious. The soups for the weather are aso very good. If you want something healthy you could also get it here. I am definitely coming back.

Why is everything at Zupa’s so good, every time?
Online Pick up order. Two different entrees- just as ordered but always better than you think it’s going to be. Protein bowl. Salad and soup combo. Everything was fresh and perfect. The food was packaged carefully and thoughtfully. The restaurant was clean and the staff all looked like they enjoyed their job. Everyone was friendly. Also- do yourself a favor and buy a Dubai cup. Eat the whole thing <3

Extremely polite, and customer service driven! Talk about fast and efficient! For restaurants (especially) it can be difficult to provide both services simultaneously, without sacrificing the quality and taste of the food, but they manage to pull it off beautifully and score a 5 STAR rating!
Thank you!

Cafe Zupas has a pretty healthy menu. The food is good, especially in wintertime when soup is inviting. We had turkey bacon avocado sandwiches with tomato basil soup, and we were not disappointed.
The sodium can be a little high if you’re watching that sort of thing, but that’s true of most food you order out. Overall, I like the place and we plan to return.

This post is specifically towards the night time crew who is working November 15th. No sense of urgency when a line started to build up even though it was not that busy. Nothing compared to the lunch rush at least and infact handled worse nobody knew what to do there was a guy running around like a chicken with his head off and it looked like horrible management, again no sense of customer service or urgency. Except for the guy who checked us out he was kind but someone get the night shift crew a brain cell. Also I know what an Italian club looks like I live zupas I go to the one in Madison by my college all the time. I can definitley say it does have pepperoni on it which this does not and it also has more meat in general and the scraps of a tomato. Please I paid for shit today. Also I had my half soup fully ate when they finally decided to make my sandwich or whatever this is. I did not get to enjoy my combo in a combo lol.

If you want healthy food with a bit of a twist this is your place! The food is amazing, the portions are quite big, and there’s a variety of stores within walking distance, which makes it the perfect place for a hangout. The service is outstanding: nice, friendly, and really willing to help out and make suggestions!

The ordering system in person is so chaotic for no reason. Orders were getting mixed up amongst customers by the time we all got to the register. The food prep area was a mess and a big turn off. I used to love coming here but it doesn’t seem worth the price anymore for the experience we received.

I knew nothing about this place and was a little overwhelmed by the “build your own” protein bowl. When we took the time to look at the menu, the Choose 2 option is the only answer. Such a good deal for how much food you get. Their half-servings of soup are so big, and both the soups and salads are delicious. I got the Wisconsin Cauliflower and it was so good. The Italian club is great as well. Very good bread and chocolate strawberry to round off the meal were perfect. Look out Panera. Cafe Zupas’s got you beat!
