Food is fresh- lady cut avocados multiple times in front of us. Family friendly ambiance. And service was fairly quick. The menu should give a short description the protein bowls. Picture is nice but you can't tell what is in it. I believe the line would move quicker if description was under the picture. First time here, but it looks like a piece of bread and chocolate covered strawberry is included with each order read more

Sadly have to give this a one star because we found hair in the California Cobb salad and stopped eating after that. Luckily we ate the sandwiches first so at least we didn't have throw the entire meal away. 4/5 Pesto Chicken salad - chicken was juicy and the almonds gives nice crunch and texture to the salad. Needs a touch more seasoning to bring it together. 4/5 Hot Honey Brisket - new sandwich and a must try. The brisket is tender with a nice smokey flavor. The hot honey is a good balance to the fatty brisket. The arugula gives a nice peppery bite at the end. I love spice and I'd say the hot honey is very mild. Add more spice and this would be a top seller! read more

Food and service 5/5: I went with a friend on a week night. Plenty of parking and places to sit. We both got the power bowl and I absolutely will be coming back!

This has surprising become my go to lunch spot - conveniently located in the Arbor Lakes shopping area too. I love the try 2 combo because you can mix and try any soup, salad or sandwich! The chocolate covered strawberry is always a nice treat. The staff here is so friendly and the space is will kept/clean even during the busy lunch hour! I definitely like this place a little more than Panera Bread or Potbelly. Plenty of parking as well. read more

The food is always fresh and prepared for you right on the other side of the counter. A particular favorite is their Lobster Bisque soup with the Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I never get tired of that. Top off the meal with a chocolate covered strawberry. Don't let the line scare you as it moves very quickly and lots of smiles from employees make you feel welcome and their checkout is quick and easy. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

It's been a few years since my previous review, when I preferred Panera Bread over Cafe Zupas. Boy, was I wrong. Cafe Zupas is far superior. Cafe Zupas offers a wider variety of soup options, and their sandwiches and salads incorporate premium ingredients. Soup Selection is extensive and delicious... mushroom bisque, lobster bisque, and roasted red pepper are unique, savory, and satisfying. Not comparable to any of the boring selections at Panera. Sandwiches are also far superior as they are served on artisan bread with house-made spreads. Oh, and then there's the chocolate-covered strawberry! Definitely a winner! read more

The food is absolutely fantastic. Wide variety, great flavor, decent portion sizes. The ordering process is pure chaos. Not sure how they keep anything straight. 7 people behind the counter each asking what you ordered as you walk toward the register. read more

This Cafe Zupas is pretty much what you would expect. It was a good visit and the food was exactly as expected. The line to where you order was very confusing. Maybe it wasn't set up for the day but there was no way to enter except backwards so walking up the opposite direction. It was clean and the staff was pleasant apologetic for the wait because lots of online orders were coming in. read more

Found something unidentifiable in my Enchilada Chili Soup today. Of course, I was not comfortable finishing my soup, not sure I will be comfortable eating soup not made by me anymore...Grossed me out! read more

My first experience at Café Zupas was a disaster. I came in expecting decent service, but instead, I got attitude from an employee who clearly hates her job. While one worker was kind and helpful, the other (photo below) was nothing but rude and dismissive. She acted completely annoyed when I asked a simple menu question and made it seem like I was a burden just for ordering. Then, when my two friends ordered chocolate covered strawberries separately, she actually got upset that they didn't order together. Seriously? What kind of nonsense is that? It's not my fault she can't handle basic customer service. If dealing with people is too much for her, she should find a job where she doesn't have to interact with anyone. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

I love Cafe zupas as a chain, but every time I have gone to this location I have gotten terrible service. I won't be back. I also added extra chicken to my salad and instead they put almost no chicken. Like two tiny pieces. It's like they ran out for the day and didn't want to make more. read more

Sis and I were in MG for shopping and lunch. I've wanted to try this place for a while and today was the day....Saturday at 11:30am. We hit it right before the rush with no line. As soon as we sat down with our order, the line was almost to the door. Speedy, friendly service. Plenty of clean, open tables available. Drink, cutlery station stocked and organized. As we got up to clear our table, a dining room attendant helped us find the garbage receptacle and she wiped down our table. Our lunch was very tasty! Lots of flavors between the salad, soups and sandwiches. Dare I say that I prefer Zupas over Panera!? Sis was in the mood for BBQ so she ordered a BBQ Chicken salad and a Pulled Pork sandwich. I got a bite of the pulled pork....mmm! The smokiness and acidity danced on my tongue. I love cheese soup (and am sad that Eddingtons went out of business) so I tried the WI Cauliflower (with bacon and cheddar cheese add on's). Wasn't as rich as I thought it would be; the cauliflower probably mellows it out, but would totally get again. I didn't know what sandwich to get to pair with this soup so I went with a safe TBA sandwich. Again very mellow flavors but delicious on the grilled panini. The dinner roll smelled fresh (that warm yeast scent) and the real butter (packet) made it feel fancier (like "Mr. Steak" in the 90s). Both meals came with a free chocolate covered strawberry. What!? This was actually on my shopping to-do list because next week is Valentine's day. So I purchased a half dozen. Also cheaper than Nadia Cakes across the street! I can't wait for another excuse to come back to MG and try this place again. read more

Everything was sooooo good!!! I've had several of their soups and salads and enjoyed every one of them. I can't stay away!!

I would give it Zero stars if I could. From walking in and not being greeted when there was one couple already eating. To being replied with annoyance when I asked what a few items had in them. To one bowl having barely any fixings in it. Then the sandwiches overdone with a sauce that made no sense. To then getting home and having diarrhea and again this morning. This is a WARNING!!! NEVER eat here!!!! read more

I love how they have all these different soup options, that's always so nice. You can tell they are homemade and that makes me so happy! I ordered from door dash, and had a lot of food for the price. I got a spicy chicken sandw (loved it, actually spicy), a Turkey club, and 3 soups. I was a bit saddened when I asked for no bacon on sandwich, it was printed on my ticket, but I took a big bite of bacon. I don't eat pork, so that was a bummer. The chickpea and veggie soup had not a single chickpea, could have been the most unlucky scoop ever. Lastly, the loaded potato soup didn't mention bacon (I didn't see it on description at least). Sadly; that had bacon too. The chicken soup was delicious and I'd love to try more. read more

They have amazing food. It's always quick even if it looks busy. Highly recommend the nuts about berries salad.

Wow! Great service! You can sample any/all the soups. 5 croutons are 79c if you decide to get them added to your soup. It's a super busy place especially during lunch but the food is so good that I don't mind. The line moves fairly quickly and all the food items I've had have been delicious. My typical order is a half soup and salad. I did try the protein bowl which was a welcome change from the usual. The lobster bisque and pepper lobster soup are my favorite. The strawberry salad is that I usually go for. The complimentary dinner roll and chocolate dipped strawberry round up my meal well. Definitely a good spot for a meal. When the weather is nice, I recommend sitting in the patio. read more

I'm not a big fan of the crazy amount of plastic for a small sandwich for eating inside the restaurant. I decided to order for eating in when I saw that they used a huge amount of plastic for to go orders. But my order still came inside this massive plastic container for takeout The sandwich itself was just OK. Nothing special. The sandwich definitely does not look like anything on the photo. That's for sure. read more

5 stars because there is finally an app for reward points! I've always loved Zupas but the lack of rewards was troublesome. Now this makes it all better. Thanks! read more

Not typically a fan of a chain restaurant but this is one I want to spotlight! The food is always outstanding, fresh and full of flavor! To top it off they always have friendly employees who smile and treat you right! Not sure how many they have but this one in Maple Grove is always packed with lines out the door which is a sign of a good place! They have a great combo special that is so reasonable and so much food you can't lose! Today I got their grilled cheese with two types of cheese, tomato and pesto on Italian bread along with a red roasted red pepper and lobster soup! Then they add a good piece of bread and a huge chocolate dipped strawberry! All winners!

It's such a cold frigid day I barely felt like moving, so I decided to order from Uber Eats! Honestly I was so unsure of what to expect but was so so pleased! I got the Crab avocado sandwich and the roasted red pepper and lobster soup. They packaged everything individually, with complimentary chocolate covered strawberries! I asked for modifications and they got every single one correct! Everything was hot when it arrived still, which is say a lot for Zupas AND the driver! read more

Café Zupas - a bowl of soup and a sandwich - Salad Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Zupas is usually good with online orders and having everything you ordered for curbside pickup! The last few times has been disastrous and the manager refused to do anything about it! There were missing orders on my most recent order so I thought I would call just to mention to them about it. I spoke to one of the "managers" I assumed that said they would refund me right away for my missing items but then hung up and did not ask for information on my order or what I ordered that went missing! Then today we went to this same location to order and just to say that we felt customer service was not at its best and wanted to see if we could get a refund for our missing order. The person we spoke with, probably the same person, walked away and wanted nothing to do with us. Thanks for the food but from here on out I'll order my food elsewhere. read more

Multiple times I've ordered the vegetable soup to go and I get home to salty water with tiny bits of vegetables. If it was a one time thing, I'd think it was just one employee rushing to fill an order but this seems to be the norm. There are other reviews with the same complaint & mgmt responds that "maybe the employee forgot to stir the pot". Excuse me, you run a soup restaurant & your employees don't know how to work a ladle? I've been a server & served soup & that sounds ridiculous. Restaurant prices are expensive enough and when you get home and see you've been sold broth while paying for more, it's annoying. Also, don't think you should be adding an automatic gratuity to peoples tabs via the app when your employees can not handle basic food service. You earn a gratuity. It's not owed. That's what the wage is for. Plus, they need to do a deep cleansing of the bev station. While waiting for my food, I noticed the side of the machines had layers of grossness on them. Definitely more than a few days worth. Mgmt should spot that immed and rectify. Not a good sign of what's in back. read more

I am sooooo grateful to have a place where I don't have to think while being a person that follows a Keto Diet about 85% of the time. I never leave here disappointed and have found a new love for soups! I typically get the Chicken Cobb and the Wisconsin Cauliflower Soup and let me tell ya...I buy an extra to bring to work the following day! read more

My first discovery of this place and exploring their menu. I liked it as I tried the large chipotle style green salad with chicken. They provide a dinner roll along with your salad. The entire menu looked good with variety of choices, combinations, including soup and sweets. The amenities were comfortable and the place had plenty of seating. The staff were polite and customer oriented. read more

Café Zupas - Salad Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

My problem with this location is the consistency of product. Sometimes the food is on point. Sometimes it's like what the actual heck is going on. I came in for a soup and salad combo and ordered the clam chowder. They served me all cream and nothing else. Not a single clam or potato in sight. I called in with the complaint and they just said they would talk to them employees which in customer language means your SOL. Today I got the same clam chowder and it was 1/4" thick with some type of oil/grease. So unappealing it makes me just gag. Especially since Zupas is known for their fresh healthy food. It's aggravating to go to a restaurant and it not be the same every time. I think it's time to move to another location to try out. I'll give them two stars because when they are on their game they do an amazing job. See the picture below for a visual of the oil. read more

Zupas really has it all: customer service, delicious food, and a nice complimentary chocolate dipped strawberry to top off your meal. If you come here, you must do the pick 2 combo. The combo lets you pick 2 (half salad, half soup, half protein bowl, and sandwich) for $9.99. My favorite combo is the southwest protein bowl with the turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich (make sure you get the grilled panini version). The service here is also so awesome. I went here for a second time a month after my first time, and the manager recognized me! This is more of a cafe service style place, so I was so shocked by how sweet the employees were. read more

No regrets picking this spot for lunch! Many tasty options! We have tried several menu items and all have been tasty with top quality ingredients. Yesterday I particularly liked the pork chipotle salad. read more

A manager (long braided red/ brown hair) refused to either wash her hands and change gloves or refund my money after I refused a sandwich that she made after wiping her snot on her arm and wrist several times and touching her face and glasses several times with gloved hands. When her coworkers asked her to allow someone else to make it she yelled "that's tough cause I'm the one working sandwiches." It wasn't until I started taking photos and pointing out health department guidance photos beside the sink in the back and they ran to calm her down, that someone else was allowed to change gloves (who had also been wiping her nose on her arm since I walked in) and make the sandwich. Horrible practices!! If you've got a cold you should be assigned to, work the register! read more

This place is great. The salads are fresh and the sandwiches are tasty. The fountain drinks are worth the trip

I had a wonderful time dining her with my sister and niece. Girl time!! We each had the soup/salad or sandwich combination and wow, was it good! The salad was fresh and plentiful. They have so many to choose from and believe me it's difficult to choose with the great combinations of flavors. Soup was a challenge choosing, too, but they encourage you to sample which helps you to focus your crave and just select one already! I opted for a creamy cauliflower and was not disappointed. Horror of horrors....I left one of my two most precious objects here.... A thin, lovely scarf gifted to me by my daughter for mother's day years ago. Fortunately, I realized and called them when we were not too far away! One of the helpful workers found it and set it aside for me. Whew! Thanks for that!! I would never feel whole again without it! read more

I love Zupas. Their salads are delicious, the soup is great, I have no complaints about the food. I love going there and grabbing lunch on workdays. I love that I have a healthier option for lunch then normal fast food. The only thing I wish was better was being able order for pick up. I have called numerous times and have been told that it'll be a 2 hr wait for pick up when all I'm trying to order is 2 salads.. I don't understand how it could Be 2 hours for someone to put together a salad for me and my coworker. But that is really the only negative thing you will ever hear me say about this place. I highly recommend the strawberry harvest if you do go here. read more

So I've wanted to try this place for a while as I love fast food and needed something a bit healthier while still being fast so here I am and Im pleasantly surprised that I really like this place. The wait was bit long but it was the middle of lunch when I arrived. The staff was friendly and helpful and even asked if I wanted a item to replace the olives I don't like. My food came fairly quickly after ordering and its really good. My only complaint is that the BBQ sauce that came on my salad is a bit sweet but otherwise this place hit a home run with me. The pork in my Cuban sandwich is very flavorful and tender I would like a tad more sauce but that's my personal preference. They do get kudos for the free bread and chocolate cover strawberry. I got a brownie also but my stomach was smaller than my eyes and I definitely can't eat that at the moment because I'm stuffed but this place is a must try if your looking for a fairly healthy and fast meal. read more

Café Zupas - BBQ chicken salad with a Cuban sandwich and brownie - Salad Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Okay guys, Zupas ROCKS! I've seen more and more locations pop up here in MN but Maple Grove is my all time favorite location. The staff here is always extremely friendly and helpful at answering questions about all the food. Zupas has an amazing selection of salads, soups, sandwiches and now; protein bowls! You go through a counter line and order starting at salads/sandwiches, then soups and lastly the ever tempting desserts. My favorite combo is soup sandwich: The ultimate grilled cheese and mushroom bisque. The grilled cheese is like a panini with all the grilled cheese goodness, and the mushroom soup is the BEST mushroom soup you will ever taste (even your great great grandmas won't live up to this). I mainly come here to eat soup (soup is life) and my other recent fave is the chickpea soup (Vegetarian), and I've actually tried copying this at home but it's not the same. All the soups are good but these are just my top go-to's. The salad/protein bowl options are phenomenal with tons and tons of options to choose from to feed your healthy soul. There's also quite a ton of sandwich options but again, I'm more of a soup person. Each meal comes with a hand dipped chocolate covered strawberry..okay classy! And a little dollar bun perfect to dip in your soup! The drinks are also a super great part of this upscale fast food restaraunt. They make their own handcrafted drinks like a orange berry infusion, a honey lemonade, a blackberry basil infusion, and a tumeric lime green tea! They also have fountain beverages if that's more your style. Last but not least, the desserts. I've only tried the chocolate cake, but man..it's good stuff. Great for a treat to bring home or for a great finish to the end of a great meal. The whole atmosphere of this place is wonderful, and is truly a gem to have in MN. read more
