I am always amazed when I come across Zoups in my travels and of course always wish they were found in more locations. Though a chain - they have an amazing soup and sandwich selection for good prices. Being a vegan, they always have a minimum of 1 soup I can eat, which is a plus. All of their sandwiches can be "pressed" - I love a warmed sandwich with warm soup on a cold day - perfect lunch!
My favorite thing about these restaurants is the consistency of service. They are so nice and really want you to try/test the soups they have before you pick one.
