I've never had Cafe Zupas before but me likey. It's fast casual style where you order at the counter, but it resembles a cafeteria line more than anything. The first person you encounter starts the sandwich or salad, and as you make your way down the line to soups, you are greeted by someone new. They plate your soup, and the third person puts your order together and takes payment. Then you can seat yourself in the dining room if you are eating in.
I chose the pick 2 combo which includes a whole sandwich and either half of a salad or a cup of soup. I chose the ultimate grilled cheese as my sandwich and the Wisconsin cauliflower soup. I like that you can try samples of the soup since there are a bunch to choose from, and I always have a hard time deciding what to get.
The ultimate grilled cheese is cheddar and muenster cheeses, tomatoes, and a homemade pesto spread on a white or wheat cibiatta. Then it's toasted on the panini so it's hot and melty. It was really one of the better grilled cheeses that I've had. The soup was amazing as well. It was cheesy and delicious, and reminded me of a potato soup except it was cauliflower so it's healthier! At least we'll go with that.
Now that it's fall they have fall themed items like a turkey, cranberry and brie sandwich, and pumpkin spice creme brulee. I will definitely come back here to satisfy my salad and soup cravings.
