Absolutely LOVED my lunch at Zoup last week!! The staff are so friendly and immediately welcomed me, offered a soup sample, and explained the ordering process as I went in backwards. Cozy booth, bright space, super clean, fast delivery to my table, and plenty of cold drinks with free refills. I loved my soup and sandwich and would totally come here again! Cheers to the team that was working on last Tuesday: you work really well together and I loved the energy and humor that you bring to this space. You made me smile. read more

I really hate to leave a below average or bad review of a place based only on price, but it's really the main thing I didn't like about this restaurant. It looks clean and open, the staff was sufficiently helpful and polite, and the food was okay. It wasn't great, but not bad either. We got a soup and sandwich combo, and a soup to go. The sandwich was loaded with lettuce, which we removed, leaving very little to the sandwich. The soups were average size, just enough I guess. It was actually very tasty and hearty. We also got a smoothie, again just an average size. The final price was $37. This was not a $37 meal! Three of us ate full meals at a sit down Mexican restaurant the night before and it was only $46! It's simply a matter of rather small helpings of okay food just not being worth the price they charge. The soups are good. The prices are bad. read more

I used to have a Zoup where I live, but it closed down. I always looked forward to the Beer Cheese soup every fall. I was so excited to find this restaurant while I was in the area. Food is good, restaurant is clean, bathrooms are nice, and staff is helpful and friendly. The beer Cheese soup is still one of my favorites. read more

I really hate leaving reviews less than 4 stars, much less giving a place only 2 stars, but I really did not like my experience getting a "quick" dinner here recently before going to see a movie at the nearby Cinemark. I can see why no one else was in the restaurant when we were even though it was dinner time on a Friday. The lady taking our order answered her freaking phone in the middle of my order so I just had to stand there and wait. Wtf? The kitchen and prep area was messy and food scraps were everywhere. The soups all had a film on them too. I got the half turkey bacon club and a tiny cup of chili in the you pick two "deal." (LOL this ain't no deal!). The soup was way too hot. They need to turn down the burners. The sandwich was okay - probably one of the best options on their menu. The bread was quite good. However, they also didn't add mustard to my sandwich like I had asked for. There definitely was a language barrier, but I mean, come on. At least try to be nice to me! The price for what we got was outstandingly bad. It was even worse than Panera! I guess I would rate this Zeats location a 3.5 for food and 1.5 for service. On the bright side, I still had room in my stomach to get popcorn at the theater afterwards... read more

Order a salad and a smoothie on my lunch break sat down at the table took a bite then noticed that I had hair in my salad the smoothie tasted like a ice drink no flavor at all then I asked for a flat bread pizza they didn't have any bread and I was furious then the smoothie for it to be 9.29 I wasn't good at all I could've went to pulp insteadof. read more

The food was great, although I was given something I didn't ordered and not given something I did order. I can maybe contribute this to the language barrier. I reordered and paid for what I asked for. The worker was very snappy, nonaccomidating, and had poor customer service skills. Independence is the closest one to me and I like the food, but the customer service was horrible. A gentleman working with her was more pleasant. read more

This is the second time in a month did not receive good service. I love the soup but service is lacking. One time no butter no bread Tonight two small pieces of bread you pay 8.00 for soup and you can't get good bread and butter Husbands got the new steak grilled cheese 2 little see through steak slices for $12 spent 34.00 dollars for next to nothing of food Sign still up for sliders and you haven't had them for months Take the sign down and tell your workers stay off their phones read more

First time to eat at a zeats. Food and service was average, nothing impressive. And ladies bathroom was out of service. Pretty expensive lunch for 2 half sandwiches and cup of soup for $40! read more

Wide assortment of soup choices....,,..............hard to beat a bowl of hot yummy soup on chill winter day.......,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Tried several times to order online but their website had problems. Tried to call in an order and it went straight to voicemail. Unable to try the food. We loved Zoup and were looking forward to trying Z!eats who apparently bought out Zoup after a long day driving but were unable to do so. read more

Hope the owner knows his employees close at random times hours before the scheduled close time, then will leave doors open and unlocked to let customers wander in. Food is decent but won't be back until they're opened advertised hours, not the hours employees feel like working. read more

They forgot to give me the sandwich part of my pick 2. The BBQ Mac was good though so that made it up for it

Z eats was very generous to the Independence Schools Athletic Boosters and donated a gift card for a fundraising event of which my husband and I won. We cashed it in for our family of six, ordering a variety of food, and everything was delicious! The staff and owner were delightful too. I will definitely be going back. read more

I love this place! Drew is the best! He. Makes salads and sandwiches with love! Highly recommend.

This place is amazing thank you so much for everything The food was fantastic The whole place was super clean The staff do all they can for every customer every time It's a great place to go out and have a wonderful time read more

Overpriced. $12 for a sandwich that is almost completely bread. The maple ham had almost no meat and nothing else in it. Pre-packaged gas station sandwiches are a better value. Save your money. read more

Many soup varieties to choose from and there are new soups relatively often. The soups in general are densely packed with flavor, in my opinion not at all salty, and fresh tasting. They also toss in a baguette and available butter to make it a light meal! Check them out in the Independence area. read more

The bread tastes GREAT dipped in the lobster bisque soup. For an extra 50 cents you can get extra bread. I greatly enjoyed coming here. read more

A perfect lunch spot in Independence! Near the Chipotle and Slyman's on Rockside, Zoup is a great choice for a quick, filling lunch. I've rarely ever seen it too busy but they've been in business for a while so it seems like they're pretty efficient! My soup and sandwich order came quickly and was fresh and delicious. There's tons of seating and wasn't very crowded at the lunch hour. They switch out soup selections every day but always have great classics. Definitely recommend! read more

I went there at 5 minutes to 4 on Tuesday only to find that they were already closed , what business closes at 4 pm, clearly they must do lots of business during opening to close to close at 4 pm m-f, absolutely disgusting and I'll never take my business there ever again . There are other places that are open later where I can spend my money , never again !!! Not just that location , any of them , nice to know you can't go after 4 pm , great job on losing a customer read more

Zoup! Yum! You have the option to sample as many soups you'd like before ordering. They have such a wide variety of soups from Cheddar Broccoli, chicken pot pie, lobster Bisque, Italian Wedding with Meatballs, White Chicken Chilli, and even a Vegetarian Split Pea or Seafor Etouffee. And so much more from Sandwiches to Salads to Power Bowls. Soups and all the other food is freshly made. The staff is so nice and they all works so hard since it' a busy location. They offer catering and online Ordering! read more

This was my first and last visit to Zoup for lunch this afternoon. I had the 2 for special with soup and a chicken wrap. Everything tastes fresh, fast forward 1/2 an hour later and I was violently ill. I hadn't eaten anything else today and the swiftness and intensity of the nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea can only be attributed to this meal. Either improper handling or food born bacteria were likely the culprit. I'm sorry to report this and hope it was simply a one time occurrence. That being said I will not be returning. read more

Tis' the season for soup, er, zoup. I particularly enjoy the variety of soup here, I think they have around 10 different soups daily. The handsome young feller working offered us samples of whichever one we wanted to try; I felt like I was at the ice cream store. I got a side of soup which can be paired with a half sandwich or salad. I chose a half salad with the lobster bisque (which was FULL of lobster, yum) and it was plenty of food. I got a fountain drink and my meal was less than $10. I couldn't finish everything as it was a thick soup and my niece was being a 2-year old and we had to see Santa. I'd definitely recommend and will surely go back and try some other soups and sandwiches. read more

Got the power quinoa salad. Only power I got out of it was sliding my credit card through the machine. Two pieces of very small avocado in it. Lettuce was junky. The dressing and multigrain bread was probably the best part of my lunch. The man that took my order was nice and caring. He offered me a cup of water when I didn't order anything to drink. Stopped here for lunch before a seminar. Probably be the last time I go to a Zoup. My salad reminded me of an "attempted" upscale McDonalds salad. read more

FIX YOUR LINES AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. There are two clear signs posted when ordering food. 1.) If you do not know what you want and want to sample soup, line. 2.) You know your exact order and would not like to waste your time behind people sampling every soup, line. We came in and immediately went to the #2 line and a worker told us that there is only one line and we had to stand in the #1 sample line no matter what... NEWS to us, been going there for a while. We went to the back of the line and what do you know when I'm up there is some gentleman in the #2 line and lets me in front of him and I asked the cashier if the damn #2 line even exist and she says no so the gentlemen behind me gets very confused and tells us some worker told him the opposite last week.............he goes to the back on the #1 line and this just shows how ridiculous it is. Get your croutons in order Zoup because this wont cut it. So idc if we have to stand in the #1 sample line but make it clear and take down the other sign because there are tons of other people that are just as confused. Thanks Kobe read more

Ordered a ham and bacon sandwich the bread was so hard I couldn't bite through it even with my back sharpest test. The inner contents was so thin I could only taste bread. I would have never paid $9+ dollars for a 3 - 4 day old sandwich. I could taste a hint of something good in this sandwich but it was overtaken by thick, hard bread. read more

The food is delicious. However, probably 3/4 of the time I've placed an order from this location through DoorDash, it arrives wrong or with half of the order missing. Is the staff that incompetent? read more

First time coming here with my mom soup was delicious although their salad wasn't really good, tasted like it was one of those fast food types of salads, service was okay there was a lady there that for uptight with me and my mom because we kept sampling out the soups, my honest opinion for the same price panera bread is a lot better and has better quality :/ read more

Not bad, not bad at all! I love soup. I love sandwiches. I also love salads. This gives me no reason to dislike Zoup, unless the food sucks. Which it doesn't. It's not amazing, but it does the job and it's fairly healthy (or at least you can always find a soup selection that fits your specific dietary needs). Selections change daily and can be found on the website. Now I need to go to Souper Market and compare. read more

Surprised that I'm not foursquare mayor here yet. Soups are good. Manager is good. Some younger employees can't handle the busy lunches and that can be frustrating to us customers. Especially when I say which soup I want and end up with something completely different. Moral of the story always look at your receipt when they give it to you. Everytime I check-in to Zoup on foursquare they message me on Twitter with a simple thanks and sometimes a question or two. I have a lot of respect for a company that stays on top of their social media abilities. Very genuine. So back to the soups. Good soups. Lobster bisque and Chicken Pot Pie soup are probably the most popular. Trust me, I go a lot and talk to a lot of people there. I tend to try different soups everytime, and pair it with a cobb salad. Good lunch spot for people working and living in the Independence / Rockside area. read more

I am always amazed when I come across Zoups in my travels and of course always wish they were found in more locations. Though a chain - they have an amazing soup and sandwich selection for good prices. Being a vegan, they always have a minimum of 1 soup I can eat, which is a plus. All of their sandwiches can be "pressed" - I love a warmed sandwich with warm soup on a cold day - perfect lunch! My favorite thing about these restaurants is the consistency of service. They are so nice and really want you to try/test the soups they have before you pick one. read more

A very under-whelming experience. The soups are just ok. You can tell the soups aren't made fresh (not that I was expecting them to be) - They kind of taste like a processed mesh of blah blah blah. But, that's what I expect from a corporate conglomerate that's shipping in soups from a warehouse in plastic bags. Blah soup. I ordered the crab bisque and a tuna salad wrap. The sandwhich was tasteless. Definitely more wrap than substance. And what substance there was - had no taste. I won't be going back to any Zoup - anywhere. read more

Obviously if you're not a soup fan, this isn't the place for you. They do have sandwich and salad options but those are downplayed to the dozen or so soup choices each day. The soup is really good. I've been there twice and have done a cup with a sandwich. I do feel this is a bit pricy for the atmosphere and type of restaurant it is. For soup and a sandwich I feel that I like the quality of food at Panera a little better. Zoup just has more options as far as soup goes. This location gets very busy at lunch and the line can get slow. You'll definitely have to prepare for that. A good option in this area as there are many restaurants to choose from, just not one I could afford to do on a regular basis. read more

Delicious soup on this cold day. Great food but the customer service was outstanding. 2 girls behind the counter and able to let me try every soup with a smile. I was very impressed with how nice and friendly they were to every customer. read more

Do you enjoy food coma's? Does your work allow for afternoon naps under your desk? If so then you should stop by Zoup for lunch! All of the staff were patient while I took my time trying to decide what to order and they were friendly as well, even offering up all of their soup selections for me to sample. For $8.25 I was able to get a lunch combo meal consisting of 8oz of soup with a bread roll, and half a sandwich. I opted for the Turkey Club and the Chicken Pot Pie soup, both were enjoyable and very filling. And by filling I mean I just had to undo my belt and my eyes want to close for nap time. A co-worker got half a salad with their combo and it was still a nice size and looked tasty. I would probably go for that next time since I over did it on the carbs on my first visit and now my food baby is definitely showing. Just remember this is is a chain. You won't find anything fancy or fresh from the garden here, you also won't find that soup your grandmother won a ribbon for, but you will find a decent lunch at an affordable price served by some pleasant staff. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go run 486704691 miles. read more

2 of my friends and I went for lunch yesterday afternoon. We had a pleasant time. Clean, fast service, and great hot food. My only complaint is I felt a little rushed ordering food. I do however understand it wss right before lunch rush would start I feel that I should have been able to peek at the menu for a few more minutes to be sure what I was ordering is what I really wanted. read more

I love Zoup! I love that you can sample everything. I recently went feeling slightly under the weather and ordered chicken pot pie and it was delicious. This location is a bit hard to park at during the lunch hour as the parking lot is packed. read more

This was my first time visiting Zoup! and it's absolutely amazing! I got the combo with half a 3-Cheese Pesto sandwich and a cup of Lobster Bisque! The sandwich was savory, juicy, and my favorite, CHEESY! The soup was nice and warm. The flavor was perfect. What a great first experience! If you love soup, I would recommend Zoup! read more

Zoup! Eatery & Frutta Bowls Independence - Combo with Lobster Bisque and 3-Cheese Pesto sandwich. - Soup Near Me - Independence, Ohio

We all really liked the place. The soups we sampled were all pretty tasty and my daughter gave their broccoli cheddar a thumbs up. It costs a little more than I expected but hunger was calling and my husband is trying to be healthy. If we had this in our area, especially in downtown Baltimore, I would probably find myself here often. read more

Since the hunger for soup is not a regular occurrence for me, I find it easily satiated at Zoup. And let's be honest, if you're in Independence and have the craving for a bowl of soup, there aren't too many other great options. I find the selection to be ample and the soup to be satisfactory - certainly not life-changing but good enough to keep your tummy warm. You can pretty much taste anything you want so I am often tempted to simply fill myself on samples and leave satisfied without spending a dime... but inevitably my guilt gets the better of me and I buy something. I personally think their chili's are the best thing on the menu. I usually end up getting a sandwich and soup but always feel disappointed with the sandwich. Although the sandwiches are fresh, there is nothing about them to make you want more. I end up justifying the purchase by telling myself that I am required to get a sandwich to soak up some of the liquid in my stomach so I'm not hungry again in 20 minutes. Overall I like Zoup and will continue to go on a rare occasion simply because there is nothing better in the area (at least as far as soup is concerned). read more
