Seasonal drink: Chilled Hot Cocoa with oat milk!
Aini R.

Was in a rush and needed to get lunch quickly. I didnt want to sacrifice quality and go through a drive-thru. I used the Cafe Zuppa app to easily place my order and selected asap. The order was being packed when we got there. I saw someone in the back making a soup/dressing fresh. Our order was perfectly made fresh and so good! We will definitely grab food from here again!

Roll and chocolate dipped strawberry
Mary S.

My mom and I were famished after doing some car shopping down the road and we just happened upon this place. I sooooo wish we had this in Tucson! They have soups, sandwiches, salads, and bowls. Both my mom and I opted for a salad. I got the chipotle glazed and my mom got the avocado Caesar. We each got the half order and it was big! And so good! Exactly what we were craving. I especially loved the dressing on my salad and all of the ingredients just worked perfectly together. And what a nice surprise that a delicious roll and a chocolate dipped strawberry comes with your order! Love that. We also each got a fountain drink and they have several fun in-house options. My mom loved the raspberry citrus infusion and I liked the sunshine shot. Service was quick and friendly and place was clean. Only complaint is that it was somewhat cold in there. Overall a great experience and next time I'm in the Phoenix area I will make a specific effort to come back here! It's that good.

Italian Club
Ashley C.

came here on lunch with my husband for a quick lunch date! i discovered this place from my work who has catered from here a couple of times and it has consistently been so good! we both did the try 2 combo where you get to choose 2 items between either a sandwich, soup, or salad. i got the italian club with the avocado caesar and it was so yummy! for $13 and the amount of food you get (full sandwich, half salad, a roll AND a chocolate dipped strawberry) - what a deal! we will absolutely be back. staff was incredibly nice too and greeted us when we walked in!

Turkey Avocado Sandwich

Thank You Matthew for the recommendation of the Strawberry Harvest salad. I have been stuck on the Mangoberry salad because I loved it. I did want to venture out since the Mangoberry was the salad of choice for me 5 times in a row. I did love the strawberry harvest as well. Cafe Zupas did not disappoint. Thank You to Peter as well for being welcoming and energetic.

Fast casual restaurant. Service was quick and everybody was friendly. My southwest potato & green chili soup was good but could have been warmer. My avocado Caesar salad didn't really taste like a Caesar. The lettuce was not chopped well and the dressing wasn't mixed into the salad well. Half of it had no dressing at all.

Grilled cheese brisket sandwich and tomato soup with Parmesan cheese
Kanisha H.

Great Food, but Cleanliness Could Improve This is our go-to for date nights when we want something simple, filling, and a bit on the healthy side . The food is consistently good, and we've never left disappointed--that's exactly why we keep coming back . On our last visit, I had the grilled cheese brisket on white bread with tomato soup , while my husband enjoyed the Nuts & Berries salad with vegetable & chickpea soup . I also tried the mango mocktail --delicious! Now for the one thing that could be better cleanliness. When preparing food, it's important not to wipe gloves on clothing or aprons and then continue handling food ‍. I usually request new gloves when my food is made, just to be safe . Also, the tables are often not clean when we arrive, and we usually have to ask for one to be wiped down . Overall, we love the food and will keep coming back --but we'd love to see more attention paid to food handling and table cleanliness soon .

Sandwich (can't remember which) & lobster bisque (which he loves)
Ashley C.

My husband and I came here this past Thursday evening around 8pm after traveling from Tucson. We were trying to find a sandwich and salad spot that we went to some months ago and really enjoyed. I'm happy to say this was the spot! Everything here hit the nail on the head and exceeded my expectations from the cleanliness to the hospitality to the quality of the food. One of the associates, whom I spoke to most had great banter. When I asked about the Dubai chocolate shake, he let me know, unfortunately that they were all out. He also informed me on the process and how the cream was being imported from Italy as we spoke and encouraged to come back and try it. I did...at a different location but that's a different review for a different location (let me say the Zuppa locations are not all equals!!) Anyway, he spoke to me about the freshness of the ingredients they use and how they make the soups daily and bring in fresh produce that's used in the restaurant as well. From looking at the menu and the food in front of me, I wanted a little bit of everything, however I chose the curry dish as well as some of the chicken noodle soup which typically I would never buy as I feel it's basic, however after tasting a few of the soups, the chicken noodle was so good. I had to get it. My husband got a sandwich and the lobster bisque which he loved as much as he did last time. All meals come with a roll and chocolate covered strawberry, which is so unique! Of course we loved our meals. This place is cemented as a favorite for us and a must stop when we go to Phoenix now!

Great subs, great service! S/o Tamara! Highly recommend the yellow submarine or the paisley park…read morepesto.

Price and quality did not match…read more I ordered the pastrami sandwich and immediately noticed some cost cutting choices, like butter flavored spray (can we use real butter) US Foods/Chef's Store sourdough bread, (can we use real sourdough bread) and a microwave sitting next to the griddle (which the griddle looks like it has not been cleaned very often). I didn't think much of it at first, but then I watched the owner heat the pastrami in the microwave before assembling the sandwich. I've never had a deli sandwich prepared that way right in front of me, and it was disappointing. She also pulled out a large bag of Taylor Farms shredded lettuce. I asked for no lettuce, and she joked that "people don't want lettuce anymore." Given the recent news surrounding Taylor Farms, that comment didn't exactly inspire confidence. What really surprised me was that the pastrami was placed in a plastic basket and microwaved. Whether or not it's considered safe, seeing food heated that way wasn't very appetizing. Looking around, there also didn't appear to be any real kitchen equipment for preparing hot sandwiches beyond a microwave. A Blackstone griddle or even a quality countertop oven would have inspired much more confidence in the food, especially considering the owner's Yelp responses emphasizing the quality of their sandwiches. From what I experienced, the preparation didn't match those claims. In the end, we ordered just one pastrami sandwich and one beer, and the total came to about $25, with the sandwich alone costing over $17. For that price, I expected much better ingredients and preparation. Unfortunately, the quality didn't match the cost. We tried to be as nice as possible but we left feeling pretty disappointed and couldn't wait to get out of there.

Came in for happy hour at 5:20ish. The restaurant was clean and basically empty when we got there,…read morebut I'm not complaining. We sat at the bar and the service was amazing! Fast drinks and just as fast food. We got the cubano diablo w/ Mac salad as the side, potstickers, and coconut shrimp. The Cuban was everything I was craving. Soo delicious! Pasta salad tasted like pasta salad, again, not complaining. Shrimp was my next favorite, the pineapple sauce and edamame hummus was the perfect combo. Potstickers were ok, I would eat them again but probably wouldn't order them myself. I do love the cabbage under both apps. Will be back!

The vibe of this place was freaking awesome!! It honestly reminded of the Tiki Room at Disneyland…read more Anywhere you look from floor to ceiling was decked out and magical. You can dine in at a few booths within the restaurant, or you can pick up/order take-out at the bar. We did take out for my family and we tried the Big Kahuna bowl with shrimp (which my husband couldn't say enough good things about), the Surf City Philly (had a great ghost pepper cheese that had just a perfect amount of spice) with a side of the macaroni salad, and we bought the Homemade Mac and Cheese from the Keiki (kid) menu which my son loved! There were so many things on the menu that we would love to try, so we will definitely be back!!!

GET IN MY BELLY This…read moreis not a place to buy pigs with enlarged puffy abdomens. But you can buy varieties of pork-filled, enlarged sandwiches and leave with your own puffy abdomen. There's other proteins too, they didn't forget about serving up the rest of the barnyard. Another sandwich place, you say? Potbelly offers unique sauces and toppings, with their meats in a variety of combinations. The ingredients seem to be of higher quality than Subway. I liked the bread because it was thick and had bite and did not easily fall apart. With all the ingredients, it did not get soggy and held together. However, the bread is toasted so you will definitely need to make sure to get some kind of sauce in the sandwich, otherwise it will be dry. The sandwiches are hearty, but it did make me thirsty. Just 1 sandwich will definitely fill you up. Eating these carb logs for lunch or dinner is satisfying and will be enough to give you the afternoon sleepies or the urge for bedtime; that's even if you skipped getting a side, a salad, chips, soup, or a sweet treat to go with it to make it a complete meal. Overall, a good sandwich and place to pick up food. Getting your fill will make you as happy as a pig in mud.

With a drive thru, tons of to go orders and people in restaurant they dont have enough staff. Their flow is poor, don't be in a rush to eat, you'll have to wait! Waited to have sandwiches made and then paid. Had to ask twice for our soup. I stood in front of the cashier as I knew he'd forget. He told me I need to wait a minute, he was so scattered brained. We've experienced his service before. Just wish it was better organized and quicker service. They had at least 5 people working, but geeze!!!

When my mom…read morewanted to find a place near the rental car place my auntie from England had to drop her rental off, we decided to dine here then take her to the airport. I saw this location had some good seating to have 10 of us as a send off. The staff was incredibly friendly, and even offered extra chairs and help move tables if needed. What We Ordered: - German Potato Salad: My cousin ordered and really liked it. I'm not a fan of German potato salad, so I didn't enjoy the flavor. I'll stick to my potato salad. - Potato Salad: Pretty decent for a potato salad, but nothing standout for me. - Meatball Sub: My cousin and his son split this, and they said it was quite large. They wished it had more sauce, but still overall a decent meatball sub. - Caesar Salad + Chicken: I couldn't snap a photo before my cousin's girlfriend and his daughter tore into this. They seemed very pleased with the salad and at a glance, it looked pretty delicious. - Philly Cheesesteak: My dad said it was very good and ate the whole thing! - Roasted Veggie Wrap: My mom said it was nice, and veggies are refreshing on a hot summer day. It was wrapped well, and enjoyed the umami of the mushrooms and balsamic glaze. - Pastrami Reuben: I loved this sandwich! The pastrami was delicious, and I'm excited to have leftovers which is saying something. I'm not usually one to look forward to leftovers. - Turkey & Swiss Wrap: My auntie throughly enjoyed this, and said it was the perfect last meal in America before heading back to England. - Chef Salad: My auntie and I split this to have a bit of veg. Lovely salad with lots of ingredients that complimented each other well. - The American (Reuben-style): My cousin really enjoyed this sandwich and said it was quite large. Next time, she could easily split with me or her fiancée. - Cuban: My cousin's fiancée ordered this and said it's the best Cuban sandwich he's ever had! Quite high remarks. Honestly, I'm not sure I could pick a better place. Very friendly, quick service, and great eats. Definitely return to this location when in the area, and will recommend to family and friends.
