I recently traveled to Columbus and did some shopping in the Easton area and found Cafe Zupas. My niece and I were so excited when we walked in and saw chocolate covered strawberries. You have to get a cup of strawberries covered in chocolate because they are phenomenal. This was the perfect place for us to eat because we love soup, salad and side places. Everything is super healthy & that is refreshing for me. Scarlett ordered chicken tenders & chicken noodle soup. I ordered the Veggie Crunch Sandwich and tomato soup. Each meal came with a chocolate covered strawberry. Their drink selection is 10/10. They have flavored syrups along with recipes to fix your own "dirty soda". I loved it. We couldn't leave without getting a cup of chocolate covered strawberries. They were definitely a hit! read more

Terrible service, mediocre overpriced food, and management that could not care less. I've had multiple carryout orders that were completely WRONG and MISSING multiple items. If you call up the management, they will do absolutely nothing for you but make excuses. If you get poor carryout, just go to your credit card and charge back the entire order. It works--and it's the only way you will get justice. read more

I first discovered Café Zupas when my job catered it for lunch. I was really surprised by how great my sandwich tasted, so I made a mental note of this restaurant. We Door Dashed for dinner tonight and the quality was just as high as the first time! I ordered the Power Bowl while my boyfriend ordered the Chicken Pesto sandwich. Before I could even take a bite of my food, my boyfriend kept saying, "Mhmm! This is good!!" So, he was very happy. Lol. I loved my bowl for a couple of reasons. 1) It actually had a variety of greens instead of just iceberg lettuce. 2) A healthy amount of protein was given from the hard boiled egg, pork, AND chicken. Most places give a measly amount of chicken and call it a day. This was definitely the largest amount of meat in a bowl that I've received. I also liked that plenty of veggies were included. Basically, the bowl was delicious and I would absolutely order it again. I may need to make this an Easton staple! read more

Who knew chickpeas, feta, and hard-boiled eggs could make me feel like I was dining on the Mediterranean coast--without leaving town? The bowl was fire, the service was flawless, and the staff made me feel like a VIP (Very Impressed Patron). Big thanks to the team for turning lunchtime into a mini vacation. I'll be back for another flavor-packed getaway soon! read more

Ordered 1/2 and 1/2 for pickup. The California Cobb salad was missing the chicken and the egg. Very disappointing.

Somehow I've never been in here; too many other options nearby, I guess. Today, with no service after seating at my first option, I came here to get something quick for lunch. There was a line but it moved along. Service was great from several people behind the counter. I went with a pick two, the curry soup and a bbq brisket sandwich. Both servings were bigger than I expected. Plus there was a roll and a chocolate-covered strawberry. The soup was great: lots of meat and veggies, good curry flavor with a hint of heat. The sandwich was on good bread, tender flavorful meat, pickles and other toppings worked in but it held together well and tasted great. The roll and strawberry could have been generic but were pretty darn good too. Fountain drinks, teas I think too, plus flavored syrups. Quick, good, reasonably priced. And there's other stuff on the menu to bring me back. read more

Everything is delicious! I enjoy it every time. The soups are definitely my fave. The Golden Curry is divine.

Friendly and helpful. You can try the soup. Lots of flavor. To many choices that I ordered dinner Togo as I ate my lunch. Ordered the veggi sandwich. Very good. And flavors go well together. read more

One of my absolute favorite guilt-free spots! I LOVE this place. It is my go-to option. So much better than Panera but has the same Panera concept. They have soup, salads, and sandwiches. You can do a you-pick-two. A piece of bread and chocolate covered strawberry comes with your meal. This place is fast and quick. You choose what you want and then pay. The food comes right out. My absolute favorite thing is the chipotle chicken salad. They have other salads too which are all good. Every time I recommend this salad to someone, they start ordering it regularly. The sandwiches are decent. I usually go for the honey bacon or turkey bacon avocado. They have either a wheat or white bread and the sandwiches can be panini style or club. I prefer the panini. The soups are good. I like the lobster bisque and clam chowder. I haven't tried to many because it always is hot when I go and I'm not in the mood for soup. read more

Cafe Zupas is my favorite soup and salad shop. I regularly visit the Easton location on my work days. My latest visit was to grab dinner after getting drinks at a nearby bar. There was no line when I entered and I was greeted by the worker. I ordered the mangoberry salad for myself. This is my usual order. I also ordered a brisket sandwich for my dad. The salad was delicious, as usual. The lettuce and fruit toppings were fresh. The salad dressing is my favorite. It is very sweet and pairs well with the ingredients. My salad included a dinner roll and chocolate covered strawberry. Both items were delicious. Prices are moderate and in line with similar style restaurants. read more

Great soup. Deep rich flavors with nice lasting after taste. When I walked in I just asked each staff person what is your favorite soup. Surprisedly, they all agreed on a favorite. It was two soups and one staff told me I can mix the two. I said really... Let's do it. Then they said I get a free chocolate covered strawberry however they were out and they would give me a chocolate covered Oreo. Winner winner chicken dinner in my book. I will only tell you one soup if the mix and it was lobster bisque. The other you will have to go and find out for yourself. I arrived late and was afraid that I wouldn't get good service and they would tell me they are closing in 30 minutes. Well they didn't . They allowed me to enjoy the food and the service. Loved it. I'm only taking a star away because of not having the strawberry. Lol. Yes it's a place I would bring a friend who enjoys soup. I will return to explore more of the menu. read more

Being there several times, great place if you take care of what you eat. Fresh and delicious

Cafe Zupas has the freshest ingredients. I ordered the you pick 2 for $12.50. Half of a California Cobb salad that was dressed perfectly and had tons of fresh ingredients. Also the honey bacon club comes as a full sandwich with the you pick two. This sandwich melts in your mouth. The honey mustard, crunchy bacon, on fresh pressed bread round this sandwich out. The chocolate covered strawberry and roll, rounds out the perfect lunch. read more

Today was the perfect day to warm up with hot soup. My husband and I both ordered large bowls of the lobster bisque. It was a bisque but I would call it a red pepper bisque. Large crunchy chunks of red pepper and we think onion.absolutely no lobster - not even lobster flavor. Very disappointing and false advertising. It wasn't cheap either. For 2 large bowls of soup with no taste at nine dollars a pop and 2 small fountain drinks at almost 3 bucks a pop, tax tip it was $25. Way too much for a disappointing meal. read more

Really great deal for the pick two! My husband and I split a pick two with the hot Turkey avocado sandwich and a half salad Nuts about berries. The salad was quite big, and the sandwich was somewhat small, but it was plenty of food. Our daughter got the grilled cheese and fruit cup. Both meals came with a chocolate covered strawberry, which is a nice touch. The three of us can't eat for under $20 in very many places, so I would go back. read more

I was going in for a brisket grill cheese when I realized that I was two dollars short of what I needed to purchase it. Out of the pure generosity of her heart, employee Courtney offered to cover the difference from her own paycheck. Sometimes in life, when you are struggling , God sends angels to help you out, Courtney is one of those angels. Since that day, I have returned everyday, and Courtney has been super nice and courteous and has all of my experiences at this establishment amazing, and she deserves five million stars and a raise. read more

wisconsin cauliflower soup - cheese flavored runny milk - nothing else in it. Do not get this.

My husband introduced me to Café Zupas a couple months ago since he was getting it so much for lunch during the work week. I gave it a shot and tried it one day and my first sandwich was the steak and cheese with soup. It was so yummy. I couldn't believe a soup and sandwich would fill me up so fast. I couldn't even get to the best part of it all which is the chocolate covered strawberry. From then on I tried more items on the menu like the salads, bowls, etc. I need variety, don't like to just eat one favorite item constantly. Trying that salad made me realize I should stick to the sandwiches on the menu and of course with a side of soup. If you want a light and filling lunch or dinner looked no further than Café Zupas. It's got something for everyone here. read more

I've been coming here often since it opened a few years ago and when my sister came in to town for the long weekend I knew I had to take her there for lunch. They have a pick two combo where you get a soup, full Sandwich, or salad (it's a great deal!) and I went with the Honey Bacon Club sandwich and the BBQ Chicken Salad, it also comes with a bread roll and a chocolate covered strawberry. The portions of the combo are pretty good as well, compared to their competitors in my opinion especially their salad sizes! The BBQ chicken was good, the veggies were fresh which was great. The sandwich was really good as well, but a little too sweet. Next time I go I'm going to change up on my sandwich. I'd recommend checking this place if you are looking for a great lunch or dinner spot! read more

Cafe Zupas has never been a favorite of mine and after a few visits, I feel comfortable making this review. I'll preface this by saying it might just be me and if you're on the fence, give it a go. However, all the items I've had here have been on the saltine side of flavorless. The soups always come out with almost no flavor and need at least salt to bring the flavors out. The textures also seem off at times, especially the cauliflower soup which was mealy and the chicken noodle which was oily. As for the sandwiches, I've had a few different ones and they are all just okay. Pair this with the prices and it's a nonstarter for me, personally. I will say the restaurant is always clean and the employees are nice and helpful, especially with samples. read more

One night a friend had asked me what I wanted to eat for dinner. I just stated that I wanted something on the healthier side and she took me to Cafe Zupas. It is such a cute place and super close to Easton so we walked here. When you walk in, you will see the openness of the kitchen and the display of the salad bar and soups if you decide to get those as part of your entrees. The menus are posted on big boards for you to see. They have pictures of some of the food items they offer which is nice because I definitely eat with my eyes! I could not decide an item to get and noticed they have a "Try 2 Combo." You can get a whole sandwich, half a soup, and/or half protein bowl or half salad. It comes with a baguette roll and a chocolate dipped strawberry all for $9.99. What a steal! Although their salad options looked amazing, I opted for the create your own salad. They have soooo many options of toppings for you to choose from for your salad. It's hard to choose. To pair with my salad I got the turkey bacon avocado. It does not seem like a lot of food, but I was full and was not able to finish my salad. I have also tried their tomato soup and it was delicious. A little heavier on the cheesey thick side, but still good. Overall, I have been here a few times and will continue to go! They have a lot of healthy options, but also healthier options where you don't feel like you're "dieting." read more

Usually have nothing but great things to say. Today I got my usual sandwich and chips order. I opened the bag of BBQ chips they smelled awful! Looked at the front of the bag, the expiration date was FEB 2022. Went back to the cafe and saw multiple chip bags had expired. Some even dating back to January 2022! Let an employee know that my chips and multiple bags out for grabbing were expired, and asked if I could swap it out. She replied yeah thats fine and walked away... read more

The majority of menu items have meat, so not the best choice for vegans and vegetarians. I was able to get the Try 2 Combo ($9.99) and picked the vegetarian sandwich and customized a salad. The sandwich was interesting in taste--my first time having pesto with tofu--but the salad (kale/greens, tofu, peppers, mango, and seeds with a Thai basil vinaigrette) was quite decent. They have quite a large selection of toppings and dressings to choose from. The complimentary strawberry was a nice touch. Excellent value for the amount of food, and I hope they add some more vegetarian and vegan options! read more

I had to kill time and decided to come here. Reminds me of a fancier Zoup place. I just got soup. A half of lobster bisque. You can sample here! I should've sampled but it's okay. They make their own desserts and I was super tempted to try their creme brûlée. But I was already full so I voted against it. Kind of regret it to be honest. So she scooped my soup in and placed it to the next counter. They took foreverrrrr to check me out and I'm a patient person. Well not the actual checking out but I just stood there until they grabbed my soup to check out. Which is also why I decided against dessert because I stood their a while to be able to think about it. My soup cooled down a bit while waiting to be checked out. They give you a roll and the famous chocolate covered strawberries. I also got a regular fountain drink. The infused waters. Not bad. I was confused for a second if she gave me tomato bisque instead of lobster bisque until I finally found a chunk of lobster. Only because there was a bunch of diced tomatoes in there. But again, it cooled down a lot and I like my soup hot. Would've been better hot. The roll they give you is cold. Wonder if you can ask to have it toasted. The chocolate strawberries. I was wondering how great could it be? It was pretty delicious. The strawberry wasn't sour and it was super juicy and the chocolate coating wasn't too thick so it didn't crack off on me. read more

I tried this place for the first time nearly a year ago and have been back at least 12 times. I am usually not the one to frequent the same restaurants over and over, but this place is oh so worth it! My favorite is the roasted red pepper lobster bisque and the chipotle salad. You can get a salad, soup, roll and chocolate covered strawberry for $10 and you'll leave satisfied. Taste better than Panera and a cheaper price with larger portions. Its so good, I was inquiring to see if I could franchise and unfortunately you cannot. Also, this place is not open on Sundays, figured that out a couple of weeks ago and for Keto ppl they have alot of keto options. read more

Very similar to Panera Bread minus the bakery and breakfast. But I would much rather come here! I got the California Cobb with braised Turkey and the roasted pepper lobster soup. I love that they let you taste the soups. The salad was amazing! I will be returning, and frequently. 1 bad thing, there was a strong fowl sewage smell outside the restaurant. Not sure if it was from them or another restaurant in the area. Somebody should probably take a look at that. read more

The food was great however the customer service sucks! The management sucks! Get people in there who can showcase this place.

I truly found a place here that I love, unexpectedly! Looking at the outside, I didn't see much that would draw me in. Soup, salad, sandwiches? Did someone say Panera? It doesn't feel like a Panera when you walk in though. I really like the look and feel of a Panera in that it feels like more like a coffee shop or café. Café Zupas feels like more like what it is: a fast casual soup, salad, and sandwich shop. Though I didn't seek it out, I didn't notice coffee or those types of drinks on the menu, so it's more of a lunch spot, breakfast is not the intended meal here from all I could tell. I love all of the options! I could come here so many times and not get the exact same meal. Now, I don't usually need all of those options once I get comfortable with a place and I find what I like, but it's nice to know the first few times that I can explore the menu and find that perfect (to me) dish. I don't think they're trying anything fancy here. Sure, there are unexpected unique touches, such as the "Choose 2" meals coming with a dinner roll and chocolate-covered strawberry. But I think one of their goals is transparency in what they are and what they have, evidenced by the window-view through the walk-in refrigerator just behind the cashier and below the giant menu board. You can opt for a soup or a salad or a sandwich or even a protein bowl. The prices are reasonable. Or could pay a bit more and opt for the "Choose 2" which I found to be the better value and the closer I could get to trying more on the menu. Choosing 2 menu items is truly what it sounds like! $9.99 gets you two items that I listed above. Since I ordered a soup and a vegetarian sandwich (tofu with my veggies, nice touch!), I ate my entire meal. The coworker I went with ordered a salad and a protein bowl, neither of us understanding that "Choose 2" meant full sized menu items. So if you can't handle both items, you might just take one to go and have lunch for tomorrow! I am not sure if I'll be a regular, but I am already looking forward to going back and getting that veggie sandwich again. Maybe I'll try a protein bowl sometime, or get a different soup or even a salad with my sandwich. Great job, Café Zupas! I appreciate what you're doing here. read more

My first time at this place. Two soup and sandwich combos with drink and spent almost $30. Food was OK. the sandwiches could have been a bit more substantial with another slice of meat or two. Not a lot of meat on it. The value received for the price paid was just not there for me. Most likely would not return. read more
