Even though there are plenty of other lunch choices in Kent, Zoupwerks brings its own unique, groovy flavour to the Kent-ites. Zoupwerks is a new addition to the downtown Kent family, and especially to the new Acorn Alley II retail addition. Before I get to the actual food review, a huge kudos goes to the Kent State University and Kent local officials for rejuvenating downtown Kent with great new small businesses to frequent as well as a makeover on Main Street. All of this construction and traffic on Main/Water/Haymaker Pkwy will pay off, I assure you.
I have been to Zoupwerks 2 times already, but I have only had soup each time. Zoupwerks offers more than just soup including sandwiches and salads. Both soups were tasty, made with fresh ingredients like your grandma makes them, and come with a side of thick bread. I've had the meaty italian minestrone and wedding soup, both of which were excellent. I can already tell I will be coming back many times during my grad school tenure. ;)
