Zoup! is one of my colleagues' favorite lunch spots, so I think I'll be coming here pretty often. I definitely understand why, they have a fun selection of sandwiches, salads, and soups. The soup selection (unsurprisingly enough) is definitely the most interesting, and they have six soups that rotate daily, which I love, since I hate getting the same old unless it's the ultimate comfort food. They also let you sample soups, which I don't think I've ever experienced, but I'm such a fan. I've sampled the tomato bisque so far, which is solid, and actually had orders of the lobster bisque and the New England clam chowder. The soups come with an order of bread - French or multigrain - and all the soups I've had are good. I probably won't dream of these soups (or any of their other foods) but that's okay. I've also had their chicken toscana sandwich, which was good. Seems like all their food has a good threshold of quality, and the value is pretty fair. I've also tried the cranberry almond sonoma salad - a half salad is a healthy portion, and I like their ability to mix and match soups, salads, and sandwiches for a nice variety. Zoup! knows its model and is doing it well. I also like that they have the nutritional value of all their foods online, and in person, which is helpful for anyone who wants to be more health-conscious. read more

Eat there often as it is near my business. Good selection of soups and sandwiches. Current I am hooked on the Flatz...pizza like without all the crust. read more

DELICIOUS!!! Panera what?!? I would definitely choose Zoup over Panera any day. Sorry, I was a huge Panera fan but Zoup is stealing my food heart! This was my first time here and they have made the best first impression possible. I ordered online because it was lunch time (might want to do that, to avoid the long line). I wish someone would've told me sooner about this place. Everything is fresh you can just taste it! I definitely want to try more items from the menu! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a quick lunch after a visit to the state capital. They had 12 different soups made fresh daily along with salads and sandwiches. They let you taste any of the soups and the ones we tasted were excellent. It's a quick service restaurant, great for families and offers a kids menu. We also enjoyed the tea and lemonade selection. read more

Many times I have thought, I wish there was a place I could go and get a bowl of soup - and have several options. I just found the place! There were so many options I want to eat here daily so I can try them all. The place is clean and staff are very friendly. Today I had mushroom and barley. It was a nice consistency, had a good amount of mushrooms and just enough carrots and onions to compliment the flavors. Only a 4, because they don't have coffee and I would have preferred a little more bread. They were also out of bread bowls. read more

I tried the chicken curry soup, and that is what my wife ordered. That was quite good. I made the mistake of ordering the buffalo chicken grain bowl... One of the worst meals I've ever had. It was basically lettuce, three pieces of chicken & 2 spoonfuls of grain and thousand island dressing. It was clear that it was made without an iota of care for quality. I left starving . I should've ordered the soup. read more

Friendly service. I ordered a fountain drink wanting juice, but all of those dispensers were empty, which was disappointing. Nonetheless, I am glad I tried it. The food was better than average with good flavor, but it was expensive. Their pick 2 option: half sandwich and salad and a fountain drink was more than $17! read more

I love Zoup! It's always an experience to go. Zoup has over 10 different varieties of soup. When you enter the restaurant you're greeted, "welcome to Zoup". I love that they let you sample the soups, if you want to try all of them. One of my favorite soups is the Sicilian pizza. It has pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers,onions, olives, and cheese and it taste just like pizza it's so good. I love that Zoup has many different options. And don't forget you can always go online to order your meal and view the daily menu. read more

Z!Eats - Spicy shrimp and rice soup. Perfect! - Soup Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Yesterday was my second time visiting Zoup at this location and each time I have had a great experience. The people are always nice and informative. My food is always hot and of course made to order. I love their tomato soup, and their many varieties. When I order tomato soup I usually order some type of grilled cheese sandwich. The food here is always really good in my opinion. Also, the price you pay is about right for what you get in return. read more

Z!Eats - Soup Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Dependable spot for a filling, inexpensive, and relatively healthy lunch in downtown Lansing. The lines get really long and do not move quickly during the lunch rush, so order online if you can. The staff are always pleasant and let you sample as many soups as you'd like to. (This is probably why the lines move so slowly!) They have a rotation of a dozen or so soups - with spicy, vegan, dairy free, gluten free, and low fat options. My only gripe is that, as with a lot of premade soups, they can have a very high sodium content (an Asian style one I tried had more than half the daily recommended quantity of sodium). The soups come in 3 sizes - a side, a cup, and a bowl. There's also a larger option and one that's served in a bread bowl. They also have protein bowls, salads, and sandwiches, but the salads and protein bowls are around 600 calories, and have cheese and fattier dressings, so I steer clear of those. You also get a piece of bread with your order - I really like their 5 grain bread! Their chicken noodle soup and chicken and vegetable soup are a staple in my lunch rotation. They also have a loyalty punch card and you get two entries if you come in after 3 PM. That's a pretty sweet deal IMO! read more

I eat here for lunch fairly frequently. It's one of the few places to eat downtown that is not a sub shop! I love that they have veggie/vegan, dairy free, gluten free, etc options to accommodate a variety of diets. It's my go-to spot when I want something quick and kinda healthy. I also love that you can customize your order to substitute things or add/remove things. The staff at this location are very friendly and work really hard to get your food quickly even during the busiest weekday lunch rush. I really wish they would bring back the Greek salad though!! It was the best! read more

I literally eat here at least once a week and always get the chicken pot pie soup. It's healthy and honestly hands down the best soup I've ever had. I also really like the chicken tortilla soup. Hands down my favorite go to lunch spot. read more

Pretty tasty. Once they accidentally gave me a free bowl of soup. Can't complain there. It's like Qdoba, if Panera was Chipotle.

Called to ask why the soup I really like hasn't been served in over 4 weeks and was told it "isn't in our rotation". What does that even mean? How does that explain anything? You change soups daily - they should rotate once a week at least and your customer service should offer something more than laughing when you call to inquire about something. Maybe offering to include the soup sometime soon, as they do at any other customer service based restaurant. Poor customer service = poor management. read more

I went to Zoup for the first time and tried the black bean chili.... DELICIOUS. I absolutely loved this black bean chili. It was so good I went to the grocery store the following weekend and made my own. It was busy when I went but that's ok it was during lunch time so I wasn't too upset about waiting. read more

I was totally disappointed with my last experience here!! I tried to ordering online ... it was getting close to when they close and wouldn't let me complete my order , I tried to call ... no answer !! So I decided to just run down there because I leave a block away.... soon as I walk in , I walked right to the cash register to order , the guy taking my order was VERY unprofessional!! 1st thing he says is I was ready to go home till we got there !! My girlfriend ordered 1st. He thought he was funny saying we're out of that to everything she tried to get then say " I'm just joking " then it was MY TURN to order !! He had the nerve to say you know you can order online or call in as my girlfriend was done ordering, so I say we tried but since it was it was past the time we couldn't order and we tried to call and NO ONE answered the phone " . He turns to his co workers and says " did you hear the phone ring" as in questioning me!?! Not only was he rude he also was the only person working "NOT" wearing gloves read more

Z!Eats - No gloves on after touching money - Soup Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

This Zoup has seriously surprised me. I've been to quite a few, and they're all pretty average, but this one was extraordinary. It was clean, nicely furnished, and has a great location just a few blocks away from Lansing Center. Unlike typical Zoups, none of the soups that I sampled were obscenely hot or tasted burnt. They heated up the bread for me (without me asking) as well, which was a pleasant surprise. What sold me on this Zoup though, was not the delicious soup, the friendly staff, or the cleanliness of the entire building. No. It was the fact that they had XXX Vitamin Water i their pop machines. I have never been more excited for a beverage in my life. So great! I've always liked Zoup, but this one takes a good thing and makes it great. It's a shame that I don't live in the area. I'll see you next Shuto Con, Zoup! read more

Fast and friendly service. Convenient location to all the downtown Lansing offices. I have never been disappointed in the food quality or taste. Addicted to their pesto three cheese and tomato basil soup. Perfect grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. read more

Woohoo! The priviledge of adding a new Yelp! profile is mine! Zoup! is a regional chain with a few dozen locations (I think) around the Midwest specializing in soup, sandwiches and salads. The interior feels a lot like a Panera without the coffee - solid, warm tones on the walls, a standard queue for ordering and a small number of interior seating options. What sets it apart is the soup. Twelve rotating varieties of delicious, belly-filling, healthy (or unhealthy) varieties including dairy-free, gluten-free and vegetarian options. They serve it wit fresh baked bread, sandwiches and salads. And you can sample as many soups as you want while in line before making a choice. I sampled the butternut squash, lemon lentil and split green pea soups. Each was good, but i settled on the lentil accompanied by a roll of sourdough and a Californian Veggie Wrap. It was all delicious, filled me up and only set me back about $8.5. Even though the place was packed, the service was quick and efficient. And most importantly, friendly. I will be back, over and over again. read more

I ordered Zoup! Catering last week for employee appreciation day to surprise my team and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I am always looking for something 'outside of the box' for special occasions since we order pizza frequently, and landed on Zoup! After our amazing team secretary discovered they cater online! Everything about the order was excellent. The soup was fresh and hot. The bread was individually packaged. The cups, spoons, and napkins were neatly packed in the catering box. We were pleasantly surprised by the plastic serving ladles that came with the soup as well. We will definitely keep this spot on mind for future team lunches! read more

This is an update. I tried the Thai chicken soup, it is SO GOOD!! Oh my God. The lobster bisque is also totally out of this world. I tried the online ordering and it was very easy and I paid online, too. They said pick it up at noon. I got there 5 minutes early, and it was ready. Just pick it up and go. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! UPDATE: Took my folks there today (picky eaters in their 80s), they both loved it. It's dad's new favorite on the downtown strip. read more

Well this was suppose to be a 3 cheese pesto sandwich... not sure where the cheese is? Very disappointed with this sandwich. I had the burrito loco salad and thankfully that was delicious. Step up your cheese and presentation game, Zoup. read more

Z!Eats - Soup Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

We are enjoying the patio on a quiet Sunday afternoon. We had lobster bisques, with half sandwiches for the Try Two option. You can have side of baguette if you want with the soup. We are big eaters, but the food filled us up--it was very tasty. It is a step up from Panera but with the downtown Lansing ambience that we love. read more

First time here and it was a great experience. The staff asked if we had been here before and when we said no they were happy to walk us through the menu. They also told us we could sample any soups to help us decide. All the staff was friendly and helpful! I ordered a half Maple Ham and Bacon sandwich and a 12oz cup of Chicken Pot Pie soup. The sandwich was sweet and savory and the bread was a good combo of soft and crunch from being toasted. The soup tasted exactly like a good chicken pot pie. My boyfriend got the Lobster Bisque soup and the Southwest Turkey sandwich. The bisque was very lobstery and the southwest sandwhich had a little heat (not too much), both were tasty. My only complaint is the prices are kinda high. I mean you get a lot of food and it is decent quality, but $26 for 2 people at a relatively fast food place is kinda high... Maybe if it was closer to $20 for 2 people. read more

Placed an order online for 3 bowls of soup and a try 2. Said I had a reward for BOGO bowls of soup but it never took off the total. When I FINALLY got my delivery, I was missing a bowl of soup. I called the store and the girl who initially answered huffed at me and told me "well you'll have to wait on hold" when I called to tell them THEY forgot an item. When I spoke with whomever I assume was the manager at the time, I was told they could either refund me or I could place ANOTHER order for delivery and wait ANOTHER 30 minutes for delivery, if I didn't want to come in and pick it up. I am at work, I cannot just leave to fix their mistake. I am still waiting for my refund to be issued. Sent an email to corporate. What a joke. read more

People working are fast and very friendly. Love coming here for a quick lunch when I'm in the area. Definitely recommend if you want a change from fast food. Prices are fair and there are plenty of delicious options. read more

I'm so frustrated that I moved from GR with a great zoup, causing me to love this place, to here. I've gone to this one 5 times. 3 times, they've messed up my order. The first time, the manager contacted me & gave a gift card to make up for it. The next time they got my order right. The next time, wrong again, but I just picked the veggies off. Last time, wrong again. So I called them, which they sent me gift cards again. So today we went to use the gift cards (2 for $5 each). The total was $12something. We gave him the two gift cards & a $10 to cover the $2something. Instead, he takes the whole $10, & hands us back a gift card & another for $2something. At least the orders right this time. So frustrating to go there though. You never know when they're going to get your order right. It's kinda like Russian roulette. Edit: I will say that the manager is very involved at this location. She recognized my photo from my review & approached me to apologize today when I went to use the remaining gift cards. read more

I LOVE Zoup!!!! I'm a sucker for their bread bowls. I'm a picky eater, so I really appreciate how they switch their soups out and that we can try them before we decide. I'm waiting for the day I'm lucky enough to go in when they have their chicken and dumpling soup! I want to try it so bad! The restaurant is always so clean and the staff is always so helpful and friendly! read more

Z!Eats - Chicken Tuscano with Veggie Tomato Soup - Soup Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

I've been working in the Lansing area for a little more than a month now, and my most frequented spot for lunch has been Zoup! so far. I've been aware of the restaurant chain for a while, but I never gave it a chance until now. Honestly, it's a Panera that went soup-crazy, and the soups are delicious! I've had the Potato Kale, the Sausage Gumbo, and the Fire Roasted Tomato Bisque, and I've been happy with all of them. I'm not really a seafood person but everyone raves about the Lobster Bisque. I've only tried the Chicken Greek sandwich thus far, and it was tasty - maybe a little feta heavy but I'm a feta fan so I'm not complaining. The line is probably the longest between 12 and 12:30 but it moves quickly. There's also that extra little bonus of the soup samples they offer, which helps keep the "ummms" out of the order come placement time. read more

I placed an order online and walked a short few blocks from the Radisson hotel at which I was staying. My order was ready when I arrived and the clerk that waited on me, Mark I think was his name, was very friendly. I ordered a cup of the Lobster Bisque soup, Sonoma Salad and a turkey club wrap. Both the soup and salad were so tasty and hit the spot. Haven't tried the wrap yet but I hope it will be great, as well. Thanks Zoup! read more

Terrrribleeee Food was super bland and just overall not good I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Disappointed at the 4 1/2 star review cause it's just alright read more

Upon recommendation from Internet reviews my friend and I stopped here. To summarize, it more than lived up to the expectation! We got the lobster bisque as this seems popular and it was excellent. The bread was fresh and delicious. This is the kind of food experience that I look forward to. The service was friendly and despite a long line we got through quickly. They seem to be a very popular spot, and I can see why. I believe they really have worked hard to earn a good reputation! read more

Disclaimer..This is NOT a good review..soooo it will not be anywhere near the top of reviews...Yelp protocol....Soup was FANTASTIC!!!!! Prices are out of line for the portion size...Long lines at lunch time,which considering the location is Good/Bad, workers in the Capital city have FEW choices and NO ONE will venture downtown in the Capital City of Michigan as there is NO shopping and they stick it to you to just park in a ghetto area.. sorry but I grew up in this city and remember when downtown was a vibrant shopping district... sad to see what it is now...Investment in the district could help however the powers that be in this city seem to have different priorities... SMH.. can't see the forest for the trees....... read more

Came here 3 times in one week. Lots of variety to cater to anyone's lunch cravings. Line is usually long but moves fast.

With 12 soups a day, Zoup is a great and simple concept. Every time I go to Zoup, I find a new soup I like, whether it's mushroom bisque, or one with squash and some ginger. Zoup is great read more

Every other Zoup that I have gone to gives two dressings with the whole Chicken Caesar Salad. This only gave me one small dressing with a whole salad. My friend got the same sized dressing with a half salad. read more

So disappointed in the quality of my sandwich and the response from the staff that answered my call when I phoned to complain. Too many options in downtown Lansing for me to pay for a skimpy sandwich. When tomato is one of the main ingredients in a MTB (mozzarella, TOMATO, basil) I suggest you put on more than two pathetic 1/2 slices of it! read more
