Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, clean space, slammed at about 12:15, cashier handles drive thru window, and pick up orders in addition to checking out those in dining room. Tasty pick 2: Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich and half Mango Salad along with some caffeine ran about $20 and picked up my spirits. Easy to find with GPS on or I likely would have missed turn on Columbus. read more

The food here is excellent, though I've noticed the inside could use some more attention to cleanliness. But overall good!

Would give it a 3.5 star. Food is good. Ingredients are fresh. Portion of sandwich inside was disappointing, mostly bread. Seems a bit pricey for what you get. Liked the decor inside the store. Employees must get a really good discount. There were 6 employees eating in the dining area and four non-employee people dining. The manager was settling a dispute between two other employees that were working the counter. Manager seemed to be the busiest, hardest working employee. I don't know that this place will last more than 12 mos. at this location. read more

This was our first visit to a Cafe Zupas, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences of a 10-day road trip. The food was good, and the complimentary chocolate-covered strawberries were a nice surprise. But what really elevated the experience was how warm and welcoming the staff were. The whole crew was friendly and efficient, but Clara provided a level of service that was exceptional. read more

Very tasty, fresh options, love the rewards system and easy online ordering. Tried the Italian club sandwich, mushroom bisque, lobster bisque, cookies, plus complementary chocolate covered strawberries and bread with butter. Like Panera but better read more

I have been to this location on multiple occasions and it was always fine, but unremarkable experience. Today was the absolute craziest retail dine-in experience I have had in any casual walk-up restaurant. We approached the ordering line and were informed that they were not taking dine-in orders at this time as they were working to fulfill a large delivery/pick up order. We were welcomed to take a seat at one of the many empty tables and they would call us up when they were able to help in-store guests. As a retail executive, I hope this customer experience approach is modified for both the customer and associate experience. That team member, whether a lead, a shift supervisor, a manager or a part time crew member should be reminded that in this day of pick up and delivery prevalence, an in-store dining customer is still worth some attention and priority during busy lunch hour (at a minimum) read more

My favorite go-to place for lunch during the work day! The staff is so nice (all of them!) and all the food is delicious. Nice to know I can have a meal with whole foods that are both healthier and better tasting than most (if not all) other options in the surrounding area. The space is kept clean and overall a good environment. Lunch rush gets pretty busy but I've always found a place to sit. They also have a drive thru option and an app exclusively for Zupas (with a points/rewards system) and you can order food in advance for pick up directly through the app. I've always found parking in their lot. read more

Came here with family for lunch and we had a great time. A great option for fast casual food that is tasty and good for you. Our group ordered a variety of soups, salads, kids meals and bowls and everything was tasty. The staff was helpful in explaining the menu and got our group of eight through the line quickly. And the chocolate covered strawberries were delicious. I'll take this spot over a burger any day! read more

Amazing food. The service was top notch & the restaurant was very clean & seemed casual and vibrant. A little high on the pricing (in my opinion). We ordered a bowl & a sandwich , which came with a choice of soup. The lobster bisque was yummy . Good stop when you are looking for a tasty healthy food joint. read more

The food was great, but the people and atmosphere were bad. The two people behind the counter were very rude. it almost seemed like we were bothering them when we went to order. they were very unpleasant. the restaurant was filthy too. booster seats were covered in grease and old food. the drink area was littered with trash and spilt drinks. very gross! disappointing because this was my first time bringing my husband to CZ. read more

This is the worst run Cafe Zupas I have visited. Food here is "ok" compared to the great rating I would give the Middleton store for example. Store was very dirty tonight, drink dispenser was out of order, soup was cold, and the avocado in my protein bowl was old and crusty from being exposed to the air for a long time. I used to promote Cafe Zupa's to all out of town business guests, but whoever owns / runs this store is putting almost no resources into it. I wouldn't be surprised if it closes soon which is a real shame because it could be great. read more

I've been going here for a while now and everytime it's just really delicious. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a healthier alternative! read more

Food is amazing. The brisket is literally to die for along with their red pepper hummus. Best thing that you'll ever put in your mouth. I am just completely and totally obsessed with it and there's definitely something for everybody in there. read more

I've ordered personally and from their catering several times. Excellent food and service. This place is what Panera aspired to become but fell way short. Sandwiches, salads, protein bowls are all amazing. Plus you get a roll and a chocolate covered strawberry. read more

This Cafe Zupas is the new location by the East Towne Mall. Even though it's new, the service is fantastic, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is really nice. I was expecting it to have a bunch of kinks to work out being a new location. This is my favorite interior of any of the Cafe Zupas we've been to. It's modern, clean, and cozy. I love all the artwork and neon signs as well! I ordered the bbq chicken salad with the pesto chicken sandwich. My husband ordered the chipotle chicken salad with the pesto chicken salad. Both were delicious! Each entree came with a roll and chocolate covered strawberry as well. Overall, I highly recommend Cafe Zupas! Super happy to have one on the East side of Madison!! :) read more

great service and wonderful people . I live the design. It's nice and modern! Beautiful vibe

I stopped at Cafe Zupa's about half an hour before closing. The employees were cleaning the ingredient bar and I could tell they were annoyed to see a customer. I ordered the Southwest Avocado Bowl and it was not good in any way! The single piece of avocado was not ripe at all and basically inedible. (The menu photo shows several pieces of avocado, I only got one) There's supposed to be chicken in this bowl too and all I got were 5 TINY pieces of chicken, the size of dog kibble, it's like they literally scraped the dregs out of a container. Finally their bowls are listed as "warm" on the menu but this was all room temperature. Overall terrible experience and gross food, I can't believe I paid $12.65 for this, never going back here read more

Drive thru touch screen too far from the car. Chicken noodle soup over seasoned under hydrated and undercooked to soften vegetables French roll refrigerator cold, not at all fresh. Overpriced for the portion size. read more

Absolutely amazing great food salad is great soups are to die for and sandwiches are the bomb

Service is terrible! No communication happening between customers and employees. Do better please!

Amazing food. Fresh, clean, and healthy options. Love the strawberry that comes with your order!!

The food is great! Salads, protein bowls, soups, and sandwiches are their specialty! When you go in, the service is pretty quick. The drive through however takes a little longer than usual. I don't know if I was coming at a busy time, but I sat for a good 30 minutes before I got my food. Over all staff are pleasant and willing to help. read more

Great food compared to competitors prices and serving sizes I'd say is by far amazing . Haven't dined in but place looks clean - it is new. Big parking lot, great food and nice service. You have to check it out! definitely recommend downloading and signing up for the app as you get some free treats for signing up as well! read more

Oh my salad!!! Delish and best service by Taryn. Sampled the new lemon oregano vinaigrette. To die for! Taryn provided awesome super friendly service. Highly recommend read more

Always good food. However today I had a scheduled pick up at 12:15 for my 10 employees. It was handed to me at 12:50. No apologies no acknowledgement of issues. Not a good look. None of us are happy.... read more

I ordered the Southwest Avocado bowl, when it arrived it was pretty much just arugula. There was no rice at all and only about three black beans and 2 kernels of corn. Very little avocado as well. Definitely will not be ordering from this location again. read more

Every salad has chicken! For god's sake you don't have to have chicken in a salad. And no price differentials for omitting chicken.

The team and staff were super friendly and accommodating. The salad was super fresh and sweet!

Awesome food and cheesecake! Staff is always great and the place is clean. You have to try it, u won't be sorry!

Amazing food! The staff was so nice and welcoming! The atmosphere was very bright and chill

Excellent Food! Attentive and fast staff! All the soups and salads are fresh and delicious! This was sorely needed on the East Side of Madison as a Healthy Food Option. read more
