| - The four stars is based on my food today. I would give it 2.5 for ambiance.
Cafe Zupa is very close to my work, and I have been meaning to check it out.
When you walk up to the doors you can hear the music blaring out on the patio. Never really been a fan of loud music for lunch places, or any other for that matter.
I entered and there is a counter where you are greeted. They have paper menus available, and I like that. I had the vegetarian sandwich and the lobster bisque. I really like that they let you try a little bit of soup if you would like a sample. I tried the tomato basil and the lobster bisque. I ended up with the bisque, but wished I chose the tomato. The bisque was good, but I think the tomato would have agreed with me more.
The vegetarian sandwich was excellent! The bread was soft, loved the flavor of the pesto sauce. Overall very nice.
I also ordered some marshmallow chocolate bar thing for dessert. It was good, not sure I would get again, but good.
Overall service was friendly, although when I approached the counter after my meal for a bag to put my leftovers in, the girl said, "A bag.......??" Like I was asking for something so completely foreign to her, and as if I was really bothering her. Oh teen, twenty something counter help.....sigh. Sorry to bother you while you are standing at the register. How dare I ask for a bag!
The downside:
It was very loud in there. I need a place to relax on my lunch break, and the music was blaring. The lights in there are like floodlights. Depending where you sit, you might have a spotlight in your face.
I enjoyed the sandwich and the sample of tomato basil enough to return. I would like to try a salad next time! Bring earplugs! ;-)
