Jay & Zay saved my day! Service is great and upon paying my meal my cards were having a service issue and realized my information was hacked and someone from Los Angeles is using my card number They told me not to worry and that it was on the house. Not only did they go above and beyond but they helped me discover a problem before it got worse and didn't let an outside contractor go hungry. read more

First time dining at Cafe Zupas and I can't believe I'm just now experiencing this fast, casual gem. Compared to your other quick cafes, Zupas offers unique menu options, large portion sizes and fantastic pricing. Their signature chocolate dipped strawberry is divine and such a cute touch. Ordering via the app was a seamless process. Food reviews Nourish Bowl---perfect blend of sweet and savory. Creaminess from the goat cheese brought everything together so nicely. Each element was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Highly recommend BBQ sauce as the dressing to bring out more savoriness! Only notable issue was a few bites of rice were undercooked read more

Stopped into Cafe Zupas in Kildeer for a casual lunch. This location was extremely clean, staff welcomed us upon entering the building, was more updated, and even had a drive through pick up window! I love their fresh food offerings and variety of menu items. My favorite is the Pick 2 for Tomato Soup and Ultimate Grilled Cheese. Each order comes with a complimentary dinner roll and chocolate covered strawberry. They had some recently added menu items that intrigued me for next time! Tip: All locations are closed on Sundays. read more

When entered cafe no hello ill be with you on a moment. Nothing for a couple minutes. Cashier was pleasant. But Women preparing meals were like I wasn't even there. read more

I've been to many Zupa's for their consistent performance with sandwhiches and soup. When they get busy it can often be a long wait but at the Kildeer Location the manager there is always on top of things and keeps things flowing well. Attending to the needs of all the customers. Clearly a top notch job. read more

Really fast service and fresh food. I order the med power bowl and it's probably my favorite thing to eat at a faster food joint EVER. Loss of one stat for the dirty are where you drop your dishes off. read more

Cielo has wonderful customer service skills, she was so sweet! Wasn't sure about the chilled hot chocolate, but she let me try some before I bought a whole cup. The food used to be a hit or miss but the past year it's always been an absolute hit. I missed the fall, grilled cheese and the pumpkin soup, hoping they bring it back next year! read more

The chicken tortilla soup is awesome, great flavor. Hit the spot on a cold night. The cauliflower soup is an acquired taste, that I have not acquired. read more

I stopped by yesterday at about 12:15. There was only 2 people making orders with 9 people in line. It was clear this was going to be at least 10-15 minutes just to get food. I saw a few others milling in the back, you really need to have all hands on deck at the lunch hour. Allot of lunch competition in the area, you need to do better! read more

Went here for quick lunch and got half salad and soup. Mixed mango berry salad with yogurt dressing and tomato basil soup both were really good. The soup was bit on the high sodium side but with salad it balanced out well. The restaurant is clean and people working there are very sweet and kind. My new salad and soup go to place. read more

Maddie at the drive thru window was super kind and made sure our order was perfect! Food was delicious too

Went there on 10/26 at about 7 and the shift manager (a blonde lady) was just so super encouraging to her staff when it was busy. She said "great job team" or something like that. It was refreshing to see a manager so nice. The service was quick, too. As always, great food. read more

Food is amazing and fresh! The staff and the service was great. Cielo was very kind and informa about the menu and what is great. FREE SAMPLES! read more

I would describe Café Zupas as pretty good. Although, last time I was here I got the Golden Curry Bowl which was quite odd. Tell me why they put soup inside a rice bowl. read more

We had a very rough morning, and my 2 special needs grandchildren asked to go to Zupas. The staff there could not have been nicer. Randy took such good care of us! He sensed they needed a little special care. We will definitely be back! read more

Thought I would give this place a second try. The first time it was not good and i thought maybe they are having a bad day. It was a giant rip off again. Ordered the brisket sandwich and there was hardly any meat on the sandwich. With all the lunch places out there, this one does not hit the mark at all. This is the last time i will spend my money at any Cafe Zupa. AVOID AVOID AVOID read more

Café Zupas is in a tricky location because there is an unreal amount of dining options within a mile radius. But as someone who loves carbs and salad equally, I knew that this is the place for me where it can all come together. I really appreciated the abundant signage that describes the ordering process so I could avoid holding up the line. Sandwiches and salads are first, then soups and desserts with the next person, and drinks with the cashier. It's a smooth process. I went on the last day of their Korean BBQ sammy, which was delicious by the way. The sandwiches are cold unless you ask for them grilled. I opted to pick two and went with the Southwest Potato & Green Chile soup and had it topped with tortilla strips and bacon. An odd combo, but it definitely works together and left me plenty full. For good measure I also got the salted caramel crème brûlée which didn't shine as brightly as the sammy and soup because texture wise seemed closer to flan and taste wise was a touch too subtle, but the caramel on top was divine! The subtle taste of the custard may have just been caused by the caramel overpowering the flavor so I'd give another flavor a go, but honestly, if they started offering just the caramel in a shot glass, I would order it. I really like the interior of CZ too. It's super clean and modern. They had a wonderful drink station with a great selection that had more than soda. And the complimentary items like a bread roll and a chocolate covered strawberry was a nice and welcome touch (I will be placing an order for strawberries next time!). This is a great spot for a filling yet light meal! read more

This is the best Zupas I've been to. I come here weekly because it's so good and affordable. They have great customer service and the food is always delicious and prepared fresh. The employees are so friendly and helpful. read more

Ordered on Uber Eats-- missing half the order. This place sucks. Didn't even include the bun and butter which is always included with the soup that I did receive! TERRIBLE tonight- can't believe how - had to refund because over half the order was missing!!!! Who ever the Manager was tonight you need to do a better job on monitoring the orders!!! read more

First time I ever visited a Cafe Zupas. I believe the manager there waited on me. It's a great concept. Everything is freshly made and the salad dressings are made fresh every morning. While they have the typical fountain drinks available they also have a variety of great fruit infused waters with raw honey. I can't recommend those enough! I had the steak carb protein bowl and it was great. You also received a piece of bread which was outstanding! When you order a combination meal you also get a fabulous chocolate dipped strawberry. My only negative feedback is that I prefer Romaine and iceberg lettuce only in my salads. And that isn't an option there. Even so I would go back again.Highly recommend! read more

This place is great and not expensive! The service is fast, quick and easy. Food is wonderful.

The food is delicious and our order is always correct! This is one of our go to restaurants hands down. Best value for a sandwich and salad!

Love the ambiance, staff and fresh food. Most of the salads are great but I was surprised and disappointed by the new Avocado Caesar. Fresh ingredients but the Caesar dressing was so so flavorless. They would be better off going to the grocery store and picking something off the shelf. Can't hit it out of the park every time.... read more

Zupas was a weekly go-to for me until today. The food quality at this location particularly sucks. See the rotten avocado in the Cobb salad picture attached. I won't be going to any zupas locations anymore because not only did the food suck but the "district manager" is clueless and doesn't seem to really care when a loyal customer is unhappy, thinking big picture and making things right. So I'll be spending my money elsewhere at places like McCalisters Deli instead read more

Took 10 min to stand at the counter and watch the staff make take out orders. Had to walk away.

Cuffe Family video review: https://youtu.be/FnmONjq8z-U We dined at Cafe Zupas and the service and food were excellent! Our order: William: Pick 2 Combo - Thai Noodle salad and vegetarian sandwich Lisa: Pick 2 Combo - Turkey Bacon Avocado and Tomato Bisque Kids: ordered the Kids' grilled cheese and chicken strips with milk Service: Good; we ordered in line and waited for our food, then paid and found a table to sit at Atmosphere: They played excellent music but the air conditioning was a bit cold. Recommend a sweater. read more

The line was short the wait was long. Not quite sure why the cashier is not informed as to what you are paying for. The process seems inefficient and odd. Now to the food!! I ordered the lobster bisque and the turkey bacon sandwich. Now my expectations were pretty low on the lobster bisque but thought I would chance it. I took two bites and was very disappointed. Couldn't meet my low expectations!! Sandwich. 3 paper thin slices of deli meat one slice of bacon. I did have higher hopes for the sandwich. Will not waste my money again. read more

What a lovely cafe! The soups here are the real draw, as are the desserts. I was underwhelmed by the salad--something about the lettuce and eggs just didn't go over well in terms of taste. However, my soup was flawless and I will definitely be back. Another perk--free chocolate-dipped strawberries! read more

Zupa always has great good! But today it was the customer service that went above and beyond. Part of our delivery order was forgotten. We called the restaurant and the manager right away knew who we were and said she was just getting ready to call us. She offered to remake the order and deliver it to our house so it would be fresh and we wouldn't have to pick it up. We were so grateful for this as we were at the end and f a long day with three kids getting ready for bed. When our replacement food arrived, they had not only brought what was forgotten but added extra soup and a free dessert! We were so impressed with how they went above and beyond to correct the mistake. And the food was wonderful! read more

I wish there was a cafe zupas out in Colorado! Whenever I go home I MUST stop at zupas- every time I go I have a hard time deciding what I want because the options are all so tasty! This time I did the cranberry turkey panini and chicken noodle soup. SO GOOD! The staff is always so friendly too. This deer park location is super clean and just nice all around- I wish I lived closer! Also, the drinks there are my favorite part! They are addicting! We even told the manager at check out that that's why w came, but they had ran out. So he gave us free drinks! I'm telling you, this is one of the best "fast" food places out there! read more

Been here a few times. Good is good and hot but the menu never seems to change. I understand that it's prepared fresh so it's in the restaurants best interest to keep the menu tight. But there is only one soup I like there and I'm bored of it Would like more options for soup on a cold day Right now, I will stick with Panera read more

This place it's great! They have Good service... fresh food... good music... I recommend to get one of those warm bowls, they are filling and you can even get two meals from it on the price of one... we will come back for sure! read more

Like the fresh ingredients and options. Great soups, sandwiches, and salads. Fast service.

Waited 20 minutes for my order. No one acknowledged me or the other guy waiting as well. Completely unprofessional. Two people working, 3 walk outs. No refund on cold soup. Every time I order for pickup at the store, they put my order in the drive-through. Completely ignored us. read more

What crap!! When you order any type of sandwich with steak on it is it unfair to assume the steak will be hot? Not here. I ordered a steak sandwich and the meat was cold. Not like it was sitting out after being cooked and has gotten cold. No, it was meat in the refrigerator and placed on a bun, cold. At least advertise that it's a cold sandwich! read more

I don't eat out too often, especially when at work, - as I bring my own (lesser costly) certified organic, whole food, plant based meal. But the new Cafe Zupas in Kildeer, one minute away from my Holistic Organic Spa in Deer Park is my new fav place. .. esp the outside tables in full sun! Several Vegan options (and many ways to make your own), so so many Vegetarian options, .. nice decor, .. and the sweetest most friendly Staff!: we have such a cute fun time in the order / check out line! Thank you! One itty bitty point of improvement would be to have a few more gluten free options. I'm 'gluten reduced', def not 'gluten free', but as an Integrative Nutritionist I see the benefit of gluten reduction, and the necessity for some people with actual allergies, or who suffer from celiac disease. .. Overall, keep up the good work, Zupas! Thanks! read more
