I love Cafe Zupas! Their combo options (soup + salad, soup + sandwich, or salad + sandwich) make for an affordable AND satisfying meal. In my opinion, they beat out the other soup & salad place in the neighborhood, Sweet Tomatoes. Sure, it isn't an AYCE buffet of sub-par soups and other just-okay finger foods... but anything you order here is sure to get you your fill!
They have a menu that seems to change often and according to the season. The last time I went - which was almost 2 weeks ago - I ordered their chicken pesto sandwich with a generous portion bowl of wild mushroom bisque. Both so good! They also had a bunch of other colorful, yummy-looking salads and several vegetarian options to choose from. I had a hard time deciding! Although I think any route I could've taken would've been a good one.
Their service is also great. I was greeted immediately upon arrival and they were very patient as I decided what to order. I noticed that the lady behind me was super rude... I felt bad! But the employee handled it very graciously. Kudos to them!
Anyway, if you're in the area, I highly suggest trying Zupas! You'll love it.
