This is place is one of my favorite spots in Boise! I always find myself coming back when i visit. Service is 10/10 as well as the people! You have to check them out!!! read more

Food was so good and service was fast! I always order the same thing, the try 2 combo with the lobster bisque and the chicken pesto sandwich. I always know what I'm getting and they never mess it up. read more

Missing several ingredients for power bowls. I ordered one anyway and since missing ingredients they were very stingy with what ingredients they did have. Cashier was nice but other 2 employees were curt and unapologetic about missing ingredients. Trash was over flowing and tables dirty. I would not recommend or go back. read more

Always clean. The staff are very polite and helpful. I love their bowls and salads. Great for a quick service lunch spot.

I walked up to the counter and before i could even say a word the snobby rude ass bitch with long dark hair in a ponytail, brown eyes and a silver nose ring at the front said "if it's not up there it's not ready" with so much attitude as if she was so busy... There was 3 people in there. I never implied i was there for a mobile order, just stood at the counter. I left Immediately. If i could rate negative stars i would. read more

The food we a order was fresh and quick. No mess ups. The services were professional and to the point. The ambience was quiet and clean. Great spot for some warm food for a cold evening date with your better half. read more

Have been coming here for years. The past year the place has been so dirty. Floor is never swept. Tables and chairs are dirty. Sometimes the juices aren't fresh or filled. Spills on the floor and juice bar area and never cleaned up. When I went a couple weeks ago the dishes had food stuck on it as if it wasn't cleaned. Just can't handle how filthy the place is even when they have opened at 11am and I have shown up shortly after. Super sad because this has been my wife and my go to place when we have lunch each week downtown. Time to find somewhere else to eat. read more

I went in to get a soup after a bad day and Dayanara and Remmi were just so lovely. They were attentive, had excellent customer service, and even asked me about my day and carried a conversation that they absolutely did not have to when I really needed it. They are fabulous employees and made my experience so positive, they should be in leadership if they aren't. Perfect customer service workers! read more

If you want something fast, satisfying but not heavy, something you can feel good about eating, this is the place! Clean, friendly staff and super delicious healthy food! I'm a fan for life! read more

One of the worst places to eat that I've ever been to, the salad had been old and not fresh. The meat was chewy and not good whatsoever, and the tomato basil soup sucked. Never going there again read more

The place only had a few people there at the time. It seemed dirty, table full of trash, flies, crap all over the floor. The food tasted great and I liked the idea of it all. I assume some locations are managed better than others. read more

Everything went well. The food is always fresh and delicious and Ross at the cashier was very kind and had quick service

They were too lazy to get more ingredients, took forever to put the bowl together. Saddest lump of food I've ever seen. Two of these were $33 along with strawberries. If I could give a half a star I would. read more

The sandwiches were not the best but the salad I had was delish. I asked for onions to be added & they told me it was 72¢ to add them which I said was fine... get my salad & they added like 6 chunks It was cool that they give you chocolate covered strawberries with your food & the house made drinks were delish. read more

Café Zupas - Soup Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Just ok. Friendly people. Fresh food but sandwiches very small for price. Drink selection not great.

Ordered the tomato soup and sandwich for dinner. The soup was SOUR and we did not eat it (time to make new soup). The sandwich was so small it took three bites and I was done. Did I get the kids meal by mistake? Crème brulee cheesecake was good but warm?!? The food was too mid to go back. Hard pass. read more

Great customer service the staff was super friendly and helpful.Food tasted great and was bery quick service.

I am so disappointed. I have eaten here many times and loved it. However, this time around was TERRIBLE. I ordered a turkey avocado bacon sandwich with a berry salad. The sandwich had ONE singular tiny slice of avocado on the entire sandwich. Truly shocked. The salad is usually my favorite, but the lettuce was BROWN AND BLACK, soggy, and rotten. Disgusting. I sat there picking out the pieces trying to save the salad... I became so grossed out I couldn't eat it anymore. In addition... there was a HAIR!!! twirled around a piece of lettuce... Cannot believe I paid $15 dollars for this. Incredibly disappointed! read more

See all

They need to figure out how to package Togo orders and how to hand them out. 15 min wait for an order that was already made but nobody wanted to help me. read more

I understand being behind by 10 minutes for mobile orders but 30?! We were on our lunch break and almost had to head back without any food. Glad we at least got it but instead of enjoying it I have to pop in when I have a minute at work to grab a bite. At least Panera when they're behind they give a free cookie. read more

Café Zupas - When the time was suppose to be done - Soup Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This looked like just the place where we could order dinner delivered to our downtown hotel after a very long day. I follow a keto diet, I was starving and there were many options marked "keto" on the menu. Great! I ordered a pick-2 meal with a small steak protein bowl and a small soup. The soup was ok. The protein bowl though-- if you choose something called a "protein bowl" you are expecting something with a reasonable amount of protein in it. There was plenty of lettuce and various shreds of other vegetables and some ranch dressing. But where was the steak in this "protein bowl"? I went digging for it to see if there was any, or if it had been left off completely. I found two (2) tiny pieces of "steak" -- one was a thin piece about a centimeter square, and the other one was about half that size. It didn't even add up to one bite of "steak." It was truly ridiculous. Please understand: It wasn't a "small portion" of steak. It was not even a respectable amount for a "garnish." There was basically no steak in it. At the end of the meal I was still starving, but too bad for me, I was stuck in the hotel with no other food and I'd spent the money I'd budgeted for dinner. I would never give this place another try. They get two stars instead of one because the small portions that did arrive were edible. It just was in no way something that could honestly be described as a "protein bowl." Also I asked for the bread and strawberry to be left off because those items are not on a keto diet and also I don't like to waste food. But the order came with the bread and strawberry, and I was so starving after I ate the "protein bowl" and soup, I was very tempted to eat those carb. But I didn't. I threw them out. Diner beware. read more

First time visiting Cafe Zupas yesterday and it will be my last. I was super excited to make a custom bowl and they gave me practically crumbs of chicken. They were clearly out and instead of taking a minute to grab fresh chicken I was left with the crumbs. It then took forever to get rung up. Very disappointed and extremely expensive for such little food. The restaurant was also messy with trash piled up on a few tables. read more

DO NOT order ahead on the app if you have any kind of schedule. I put in an order for a bowl of soup and set a pickup time. I got there at the time I was supposed to pick up my lunch and it wasn't ready. I had to wait another 15 minutes to get a bowl of soup while they took every order of every person who walked into the store. What's the point of the app and ordering and tipping ahead if you end up waiting twice as long. read more

Food was really fresh, and everyone was super nice who worked there. Definitely deserves a higher rating than what it currently has on Yelp. Soups were hot and delicious! read more

Café Zupas - Mediterranean bowl and new curry soup - Soup Near Me - Boise, Idaho

It was perfect and the people were very nice and understanding with my complicated Oder

I was really looking forward to the same great food and service that I have gotten from the other Cafe Zupas restaurants that I have been to. Alas that was not meant to be. I was disappointed on both fronts. After I ordered my soup and was sent down the line I was ignored when I went over to the area to order my dessert. When the lady finally came over to the counter she started helping the people behind me instead of helping me. She gave me a dirty look when I told her that I had been waiting there to finish my order. After I let her know what I wanted she started making it and then instead gave me the dessert she had made for the people behind me. My order was to go and I didn't realize it until later when I went to eat my food and was disappointed because I wanted the dessert with brownies and strawberries but instead got pistachios and strawberries. What a disappointing end to an already bad day. read more

Normally I would give Zupas a 5-star review, but the waiting in line yesterday was cringe-worthy. Management needs to take note: competition between online orders and foot-traffic should always favor foot traffic. Yesterday's visit, I suppose, came during a mad rush of sorts, and it was clearly obvious to the numerous patrons standing around that the assembly-line process at Zupas needs serious work. I felt for the poor girl at the register who repeatedly had to run back and forth along the prep line to gather people's soups, salads and sandwiches. The soups take almost no time to prep (i.e. pour into a bowl, place lid) and therefore there were 9-12 sitting on the counter, left to her to determine what each one was. Recipe for disaster since none were labeled so it's up to her keen eye to not make a mistake. What she really needed was a line worker filling each order to a tray or go box so she could stay at the register to more efficiently ring up orders and give people drink cups. (And BTW, for cleanliness' sake, don't serve empty cups upside down. We don't know what's touched that counter, I now don't want to put my lips to that cup!) So, yeah, watching a bunch of busy-bee workers try not to trip over each other while buzzing around trying to frantically fill orders was a definite buzzkill. They all looked lost. We're out of this soup! We're out of that! Where's the thing that's supposed to go with this order? I had ordered a salad and sandwich, and they were both prepped within two or three minutes of my telling them my order. And the next 10-12 minutes was excruciating watching them try to fill a half-dozen orders in front of me, taking 3-4 minutes per order. I stood there patiently waiting my turn. This epic farce was bewildering, and the time it took gave me plenty if time to chat with the woman in front of me, who had not ordered ahead but was definitely picking up dinner for her family of four. She agreed things should be labeled (a la Starbucks) and that walk-ins should take priority over online orders. Now, I love their creme-brûlée desserts but the two times I have been here in the past month there have been none in the case. Why? I didn't bother to ask, they were having enough of a time without me asking for something they clearly didn't have. It would have been piling on. Speaking of piling on, since it felt there were a dozen chickens with their heads - sorry, workers - you'd think they would have had time to wipe a table or remove the gargantuan pile of dishes left at the disposal station. Guests are nice enough to do their part and clear their table, but no guest is carrying 15 plates and bowls back to the kitchen for you. In all, this felt more like a cafeteria than a kitchen. But still...Zupas is trying something different in the fast-casual space. Salads and soups and salads are nothing new, but the choices are numerous, and the prices completely fair. I have tried Zupas now 3 or 4 times and the salads and sandwiches have all ranged from good to great. I like that this is one place you can feel like you're eating healthy without feeling like you're left wishing for more. The roll and the chocolate dipped strawberry goes a long way toward customer goodwill. It feels as if the design here is to assure customers have a great, complete meal. And I suppose, considering how Covid changed the restaurant industry, they are trying their hardest with the quandary of online versus in-person order competition. Plain-old drive thrus don't have to deal with this issue so much, but when all of your orders has to step through the front door, your block-up becomes the lone girl at the cash register. Streamline you systems, clean up your dining area, and get that girl some help. Then I'll be back, but only if I see fewer than three people in line. read more

Café Zupas - Turkey bacon avocado sandwich and Wisconsin Cauliflower Soup!!! - Soup Near Me - Boise, Idaho

The restaurant was filthy! Trash everywhere because the trash cans and dish bins were over flowing. Tables had not be wiped down what appeared to be a very long time. They were also out of many salad items. The person that served me had the title of "Hospitality Lead" on his name tag. I asked if it had been busy and he said no not really. Staff was standing around and chatting when there was clearly a lot to be done. I heard the person in front of me being told they were out of eggs. I asked if they were out of egg for my salad and was told "no we have some in the back. If you really want them, I can go get them." Also the drinks, lemonade, etc were empty at 7:30 on a Friday. I went into the restroom and turned right around and walked out. Filthy in there too. I noticed there are cameras all over the restaurant but clearly no one is looking at them. This place is a complete mess. I regret continuing with my order and eating there. I will not make that mistake again. read more

Restaurant was cold inside so we opted to sit outside in the smoke. The music volume on the patio made it hard to have a conversation. When I asked the staff if they could turn it down, I was told they couldn't because it was controlled by corporate. Was a miserable lunch. read more

Don't order the kid's combo meal. What a joke just look at the photo. Almost $8 for TWO small chicken tenders. And that salad topper on the side is the side of raw veggies. Sliced up snap peas and mini cucs. Absolutely zero quality control. Look at the size of each strawberry. Guess which child was the most upset? Lol. My soup was mostly broth and I paid $2 for about a tablespoon of avocado. Won't be coming back here again. read more

Café Zupas - Kid's Combo - Soup Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This place is disgusting, the dining area is beyond dirty. I asked for no tomato and received extra tomato plus hair in my sandwich. The bathrooms are as gross as the dining area. Tampons on the bathroom floor. This place should be shut down for health violations. read more

Waited more than 15 minutes in line (with just two people ahead of us) as dozens of online orders stacked up through the system. I strongly suggest to the owners you close the dine in option so you can focus on all that you care about. After our order was taken, we saw both of our somewhat unique sandwiches go into an online order. We were asked to sit down and our food would be brought to us. They forgot about our order and we waited yet more time. COME ON OWNERS! Come down here and manage your restaurant before people never come back again. read more

Don't bother. Ordered online and showed up at the time listed for my food to be ready. Then had to wait an extra 25min while the staff took walk in orders first. A group of people and I, waiting for our online orders, watched the staff take 4 customer walk ins, make their food, and check them out THEN start on the backed up online orders. Long story short: DO NOT order online. Just walk in and order for quick service. If not, bring a magazine to pass the time. read more

Zuppas on Broadway, sad situation. Dining area was dirty, rugs needed sweeping; none of the Lemonade dispenser had anything in them. Iced tea dispenser broke.

Café Zupas - You get to chose your own items for your salad - Soup Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Cafe Zupas is a decent place for lunch the food is good but never enough soup. I almost always get the Cauliflower soup and it's never disappointing except for the already mentioned not enough. I also always get the turkey avocado club and it's great. The rolls and the chocolate covered strawberries are always a bonus. Personally I think it's a little overpriced for what it is but that's just me. It's never my choice to go here but it's usually good. read more
