    pesto chicken sandwich
    Jade W.

    I enjoy how quick & easy it is to order healthy food here! The line usually isn't long & they have an efficient system set up. The menu consists of power bowls, salads, sandwiches, soups, and desserts! All orders are served with a bread roll and a chocolate dipped strawberry! The menu always features a season rotation that I like to check out online first to see if anything catches my eye (and stomach). One interesting thing is their drink set up with lots of sodas, lemonades, and syrups to customize. There's also an abundance of seating available.

    My large salad in the foreground in comparison to the side/small salad in the back.  They were actually about the same size.

    We've been dining at Cafe Zupas for years. Delicious food in a clean environment! We've noticed lately though the potion sizes have shrunk. Last night I ordered a large Mango berry salad and was very disappointed. Same amount of dressing but less greens so the greens were saturated from the dressing. There was also very little fruit compared to previously. I left there with a very negative experience as a result.

    a salad and a cup of sauce

    Used to love this place but it's been a while and I won't be back. Cobb salad, ordered no meat. But no egg? No avocado? No cheese? Half full cup of soup. Roll but no butter. No strawberry? "All" this for $13.50!

    Meal

    Healthier fast food option. Reminds me of Crisp & Green. They have fresh produce that you can see when your ordering. I got the half salad and half soup option. Chickpea soup was pretty good and the "Nuts about berries" salad was also good, the dressing was light and flavorful. Not a fan of the bread that comes with the meal, but you do get a chocolate strawberry with your meal.

    I ordered from here more than once and typically I have received the correct order. However the customer service seriously lacks and there is no professionalism . "Irene" advised she personally hand made my food but items were left off the order I requested. And she insisted that there was nothing she could do, not refund or even replace my order. It's truly not the customer focused brand I thought this restaurant was pushing for. I'll let my team know to discontinue doing business with this location.

    the outside of the establishment

    this place is so good. i don't know why the reviews are relatively low. the grilled cheese is SO GOOD. i also recommend the crispy chicken sandwich and then ask for a side of ranch. their ranch is delicious. i love their soup too. you have to get the chris which is half tomato basil and half cauliflower cheese. you also get a chocolate covered strawberry with your meal which is the cherry on top.

    Not cool, Zupas! I ordered a half size of the seasonal soup to go, which is a super tasty chicken coconut with great flavor an a bunch of vegetables. If I were writing this review on the soup alone, it wouldat least 4 stars. But when I got home to eat my soup this is what greeted me. I didn't realize when I said "half" that meant even the half size container would be only half full. Update: I received the canned response with some absolute garbage about how this was done on purpose, for portion control and to protect my soup. FYI, it's soup, not a bag of chips.

Chef Pedro took our order (bonus points) and we had a lovely conversation about New Orleans. The menu here has a lot of New Orleans food intertwined. Based on where Pedro previously worked in New Orleans, he has an outstanding culinary background. I was going to order the Muffaletta, which can be served hot or cold, but they were out. When I heard why, I was impressed. In New Orleans, the gold standard of bread is Leidenheimer. Minnesota doesn't have the same bread (Trung Nam Bakery is the closest substitute). Pedro uses Leidenheimer for his Muffalettas. Pedro also makes his own olive salad. I am looking forward to trying a Muffaletta. My husband ordered the Zambon Dip and really enjoyed it. I had the Herb Brooks Focaccia. It was great. Big portions. What is really funny is I knew the North Stars as I worked at the Met Center. Fun memorabilia too. On street parking and some tables outside. What we used to call a neighborhood joint. Stop in and say hi to Pedro. Now I just wish he would make Gumbo with some okra and filé.

Seems like a really busy takeout spot. Order: the North Star deluxe. Delicious. Their take on a Reuben without the kraut. All the meats were delicious and distinctive in flavor. The creole mayo added that nice creaminess. The homemade pickles on the side added that little vinegar punch to cut thru the richness of the sandwich. Smoked salmon BLT. Huge potion of perfectly smoked salmon. The smoke and crunch of the bacon was a perfect pairing. This is an amazing creative surf and turf. Overall: This is a must try on your Minnesota food tour.

    Stopped at the Firehouse Subs in MSP Airport during a layover because, hey, who doesn't want a hot…read moresandwich before their next flight? Unfortunately, this Firehouse felt more like a fire drill -- lots of motion, not much coordination. The staff looked like and acted like they didn't want to be there and then someone had just yelled "everybody make sandwiches!" and then left the room. Service was slower than boarding Group 9, and by the time my sub arrived, I was halfway through my emotional support chips. As for the sandwich -- let's just say it didn't quite live up to the usual Firehouse standard. More like Smoke Detector Subs -- something was missing, and it definitely wasn't flavor from being too fresh. Two stars because I did eventually get food, and it was edible. But next time I might just grab a granola bar and call it a win. If you're hungry and have time to burn, give it a shot. If you're in a hurry... you might want to bring your own siren.

They actually use the smaller bottles of juice than the small bottles. Until now I didn't even know... to be fair, it does appear all the other vendors have similarly small versions and drinks are more expensive here than other airports. Also made my order after another couple. It should be first-in-first-out at the airport. I wouldn't mind the delay normally but at an airport, time -can- be precious.

Instead EVERYONE is 100 % natural welcoming laid back and genuine in wanting to see you content and pleased. Nothing is ever pushed onto you. The quality of the pastrami, its seasoning, the textures and bright flavors of the breads and bagels the nova the chopped liver the extra creamy marinated Cole slaw and perfect half sour pickles ( wISH they had bialys!). All perfect. All old world. Our favorite very old deli in West Palm Beach was sold 1.5 years ago and gone gone gone are the DELIGHTFUL happy charming old staff and the perfect old world flavors, cooking. In Sarasota where we just lived the last 5 years, a new deli closed after just 2 years, and there is nothing left. We've been visiting family in Sarasota every year for 40 years. Gone too in the Twin Ciries is the ownership by brothers Scot and Stu of Hopkin's beloved Crossroads Deli just last year. The new owners, a corporation owning 6-8 other restaurants have CHANGED almost all the recipes for breads, cakes , wonderous cookies and 80 % of all pastries! No more butter, no more fine ingredients and no more of their once " Grossinger's taste/quality" STELLAR seeded rye bread! They even eliminated the lemon flavoring. In their incomparable lemon coconut cake! Their stuffed cabbage is one of their only true deli dishes left. Sandwiches are half their original size...... heart breaking after going there 3-4 times a week for 25 years........ Cecil's of course had to cut back on the $$ use of butter in their pastries. But they have WORKED VERY HARD to still retain their wonderous long long ago heart warming flavors. ALL their sandwiches are AUTHENTIC. Old world New York City flavors! Made with care and love. My husband loves their beautiful generous Nova salmon platte. Noshing away happily! I love their pastrami Rachel's with plentiful half sour pickles lots of Russian dressing and creamy Cole slaw. Mmmmmm. I hope and pray Cecil's owner refrains for a long long time from selling his rare business. We must support Cecil's too.... Or lose it with all the others, and lose part of our joy and heart. Thank you Cecil's .....

Old school all the way. There's a restaurant in the back, and a full-scale deli counter in the front. It is such a good stop. They have their own private parking lot too.

Enjoyed my BLT on whole wheat and the homemade potato salad was amazing! Had a cherry cobbler for dessert that was incredible. Restaurant has been open for over 70 years, and I met the owner/manager, Cecil, afterward, and he just oozes customer service being a priority. It's a must-visit place.

As I tried to get to my car, people yelled the most obscene and disgusting epitaphs at the couple in front of me. I was just walking down Grand Avenue. They were even spitting at this innocent individual. As a liberal who marched for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s, I was horrified.

On one side is a meat market with a variety of cuts of steaks, lamb, and other meats, which all looked fresh and quite nice. They also have a variety of items such as canned goods, pasta, eggs, etc. on the shelves opposite the meat counter. The entire place is quite sunny, pleasant, and cozy. On the other side is the eat-in, take-out deli sandwiches, that are made to order. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. The bread is freshly made (crispy baguette type) and you have a choice of Roast Beef, Roast Turkey, Tuna Salad, Smoked Ham, or Corned Beef. All sandwiches are $16.50 each (including tax) and come with a choice of mayonnaise, spicy stone ground mustard, red leaf lettuce, thin sliced red onion, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, raw grated horseradish, pickled jalapeno, and roasted bell pepper. The default includes all toppings so if you don't want everything, be sure to specify what you do NOT want. Surprisingly, they do not carry any diet soda, nor do they stock any national brands (only local pop). There is a large menu on the wall, and you order at the counter and pick up the order (no table service). The food was attractively presented, and very, very good. My only gripe (besides the lack of diet pop) is that it's on the expensive side for lunch. Two sandwiches, a couple of bags of chips, and a couple of cans of pop will easily top $40, although I'd say the quality is top-notch.
