Nuts about berries salad
Aric B.

The food is usually pretty good here. I usually get a sandwich and the nuts about berries salad. I lowered the rating a bit as this time when I went there was one guy working his arse off while a bunch of other people just stood around. I really like the salad and I usually do their seasonal sandwich. This time it was a grilled cheese with bacon and apples that was quite good. I also lowered the rating a bit as this place just feels a bit too expensive for what you get as well as asking for tips when you need to get your own drinks as well as bus your own table.

Creme brulee cheesecake

I visited for a late lunch on Friday with a friend and enjoyed the easy parking. From where we parked it was hard to tell where the main entrance was. We entered near the patio and realized that was a different door so it took us a while to find where to order. After orienting ourselves we got in line and tried to figure out the menu. There were a lot of options and they were all visually displayed on the wall, but the ingredients weren't listed so it was hard to tell what I wanted. When I asked what was in the sandwiches the staff directed me to a catering book that was sitting on the counter that explained what was in each sandwich. I got the pick 2 option which gives you a full sandwich and a soup. With that you also get bread and a chocolate covered strawberry. That is plenty of food and I actually saved half of the sandwich and the piece of bread for later. I ended up with the Mediterranean sandwich which had amazing ingredients, but the bread was a little weird for the sandwich. Maybe it would have been better if it was toasted. I'll probably just get the bowl version in the future. For the soups, they have a ton of options and let you try them before committing which is super fun. I ended up getting the cauliflower soup which was so good, although very creamy and probably not too healthy. Finally I ordered a drink and cheesecake too. The sunshine drink of theirs is amazing, while the raspberry one is very plain. The cheesecake was fine. The sauce was a bit thick so that was a little off-putting. The cafe name made me think this would be a cute place to work remotely or chat with friends and it's really not, even on the patio. The inside is a big, open room that is fairly cold, loud, and echoey. Plus, they told me they didn't have WiFi so I wouldn't have been able to work anyway. This could be a good option to pick up something quickly if you are in the area and heading home. I'll get a bowl next time, and maybe try a few more soups.

I am so glad that I decided to stop in at cafe zupas during my recent trip to Madison, WI. They have a wide selection of soups, sandwiches, salads and power bowls. I got the chicken enchilada chili soup and a bbq salad. Both were amazing!! My meal also came with a side of chocolate covered strawberry.

Try 2 Combo - Yucatan chicken tortilla soup & Maui tropical chicken salad. Served with a roll and a chocolate-covered strawberry.

Delicious food, fast service, bright and clean restaurant. Can sample their soup while waiting in line for your food. The combos are great and I like the chocolate covered strawberry that comes with the meal.

Spicy chicken sandwich
Sho R.

I took out dinner from here on a week day. Spicy chicken sandwich was my favorite thing. It was actually mild for me, but still good. Mediterranean bowl was an excellent vegetarian dish.

Great food

From SC. First visit. Really good. Make sure you get a desert. All the food is fresh and has new flavors.

A fast casual place for soup, salad, and sandwich, think a cross between Panera and Chipotle. Lots of choices, maybe a little too much for me. The half salad is a pretty good portion size although the full sandwich is a little small. I wish they had metal utensils instead of plastic disposables. Comes with a chocolate-covered strawberry and a little bun which would be great for soup so maybe next time I should get a half soup. Salt and pepper grinders are a nice classy touch. Desserts look great but I resisted the urge for cheesecake on this visit.

Cafe Zupas is super similar to Panera. You definitely get more food for a better price than Panera. However, I do prefer the broccoli cheddar soup and bread bowl at Panera. I ordered the Choose 2 which came with any combination of a soup, sandwich, or salad. You also got bread and a chocolate covered strawberry with your meal. I thought the strawberry was such a cute touch! I got the pesto chicken sandwich and the bbq chicken salad. The sandwich was okay but salad was absolutely delicious! The chocolate covered strawberry and bread were really good as well. The atmosphere isn't the best inside. It wasn't the most inviting or very organized. The outdoor patio, however, was super cute!! I'd definitely suggest sitting out there if you can!

It's something else. I deliberately requested additional lettuce b/c Milio's seems to be notoriously stingy when it comes to lettuce. Upon receiving my order the words 'with extra lettuce' were stated. I assumed naturally that upon unwrapping it, it be seeing something that resembled something different than wha these pictures depicted. In the first image it looks pretty deflated. The next one shows the entirety of the contents. Not impressive in any way. The third is about seeking out the invisible bacon. It's there, an extremely anemic and thinnest cut ever, slice of bacon. So small I literally had to dig beneath the also very small amount of Turkey. I see there are more than average low ratings for this location. I imagine if I looked into it, I'd probably see my own ratings from previous visits. I know I rarely visit this location. Moving forward, rarely is likely to become even less, probably never. Too many far more worthy options within the immediate vicinity. For with its worth at least the sandwich is flavorful, though I do need to add seasonings and jalapeños.

You know what? Short of a hygiene or cross contaminant issue... they have earned the 5 stars by being part of the chain. I'll update as we visit. The vinegar and cherry pepper relish makes it all worth it. Can't wait to redeem some SHORE POINTS and I'm still getting text alerts from my old preferred place on the coast.

I had cilantro rice and black beans alongside my chicken, all perfectly done. The flavors here are solid and a great introduction for me to Peruvian cuisine. Why not five stars?

While they seem to be known for their sandwiches, and for good reason, they have a lot of great artisanal items rooted in Italian cooking. This includes oils, wines, sauces, spices, treats and more. The "more" also includes fresh-made pasta, hand cut meats and cheeses, gelato and a few other absolutely delish items! Back to that sandwich...we were not hungry, but could not pass up a good sandwich, especially one freshly made on locally sourced and baked bread! The bread was the absolutely star of each bite, I mean...sheesh! The sandwich in full was great, and definitely worth the stop in on its own. The store itself is small, but mighty, and well laid out, stocked with all the goods, flows well, clean and in great condition. Service was stellar as well. We were greeted upon entry, checked on while browsing and chatted up while being rang out.

We stopped on a Sunday night and it was pretty quiet. It took a bit for the clerk to notice us standing there, but he was overly apologetic once he did. I gave one of their turkey sandwiches a try, with everything on it except for the onions. The smoked turkey didn't have a discernible smoked flavor, but the quality was on par with Quizno's.
