I was really excited to try this place and finally got to do so with my fiancé. This spot reminds me of Panera and Sweet Green. I customized a protein bowl and my fiancé got the try two combo with a soup and sandwich, we also got two large citrus berry drinks. The total was almost $50.00 for everything. We opened the bag and everything looked well packed till we noticed they packed my protein bowl in a plastic container that had separate compartments along with the ciabatta bread and chocolate covered strawberry. I would have enjoyed my protein bowl more if they actually packed it in a to go bowl. I'm not sure if this restaurant has to go bowls but please get some because it would definitely improve the quality of the food for customers. The citrus berry punch didn't have any citrus flavor at all and I tasted more honey if anything, I was looking for a bold citrus flavor but didn't get that. It tasted like honey water. I'm not sure how to feel it's a little pricey and my protein bowl looked sloppy. Please invest in some good quality "to go" bowls for carry out customers. read more

(4.15) ~ Very good overall Lunch spot MENU: ** Brisket Grilled Cheese (Italian Ciabatta) = (4.25) Very tasty ** Southwest Potato & Green Chili = (4) very good, added hot sauce;) ** Chocolate Covered Strawberry = (4) very cool treat ** Chocolate Chip Cookie = (4) very good read more

Staff is friendly, helpful and accommodating. Not an easy area to serve in, as there are lots of entitled customers. So kudos to the staff!

A good option for a quick lunch: salads, bowl, soups and sandwiches, and you can mix and match like a "pick two". I had the Southwest Avocado bowl, which came loaded with: Arugula, Wild Rice, Roasted Chicken, Grape Tomatoes, Black Olives, Tri-Color Peppers, Fire Roasted Corn, Black Beans, Avocado, Tortilla Strips, Goat Cheese, Pumpkin Seeds, Roasted Tomatillo Dressing. My companion had chicken noodle soup and a turkey avocado sandwich. And all meals come with a soft roll and a chocolate covered strawberry. Friendly service, lots of seating, lots of windows, and lots of food options to fit any diet. I tend to forget about Cafe Zupas but there are plenty of choices here to remember. read more

This was truly awful. Not only did they get every single order wrong (kiddo has an allergy and we had to throw away the order), they literally put one thin slice of turkey on a sandwich. I attached a picture so you can see. I've never had such a crappy sandwich in my life.. how they can get away with calling it a turkey sandwich when they put one slice of turkey on there is beyond me. read more

Absolutely love the quality and the selection of soups, salads and sandwiches. It's a SOLID go to when I'm looking for something healthy, quick, filling but DELICIOUS! Usually whenever I go for the ole soup/salad and sandwich lunch I'm just expecting a quick filler but Zupas is gourmet in my book! Nice and simple deli like atmosphere and friendly service too! FYI try their tomato bisque...WOW. read more

We visited this location while on vacation with my family of 5. When we entered the building we were greeted promptly and friendly by Kyle, who was the only one behind the counter at the time. He was patient and very helpful through our entire ordering process. He even made wonderful suggestions! The food was delicious, we love every time we can visit a Cafe Zupas! The dining area was clean and our entire visit was great! Thanks again Kyle! read more

If you like salt, salt and more salt in your food then this is the place for you. Pretty much inedible food. Creamy chili? Come on. Best part of the meal, the chocolate strawberry. Not a place you would expect great food, but this place really needs a complete overhaul of their menu offerings so they are both appealing and edible. No real service and ambiance here to speak of. Forget about it. read more

Delicious mushroom soup, everything looks so clean, bright and fresh. They have a good assortment of sandwiches, soups, bowls, chocolate fruits, amount of beverages. Looks like a little ladies come here and they play mah-jongg must be the hang out in Deerfield. read more

Order it multiple times for work. Food is always consistently good. Food is generally on time. It's always been placed for pick up.

A good choice if you're looking to eat a bit healthier without really sacrificing flavor. Zupas has more interesting menu items than similar restaurants such as Panera or Corner Bakery with a few more Asian inspired and vegetarian items and huge soup menu. The try two combo allows diners to experience generous portions of soup, salad, protein bowls, or sandwiches at a very reasonable price. I love this as it allows me to enjoy twice as many options in a visit as the food is consistently good. Overall, worth a visit if you want a fresh, made from scratch healthy meal in the Deerfield area at a very reasonable price. read more

As usual the Deerfield IL location is my favorite. Not only was my favorite employee, Nicole, working but the food was so good. The new Citrus Crunch protein bowl was delicious and so crisp. The dressing was light and refreshing. I also got a Dubai strawberry cup. A definite decadent treat. Thank you Nicole, you always make my dining experience wonderful! read more

Came in today for lunch. Had a pick 2 combo. Staff was great! Greeted me as soon as I entered. Made my order and they quickly got on to making it. Had a little issue at the register and Jackie came quickly to help me. When I was leaving, the staff thanked me for coming in. Over all great experience. read more

Tommy was fabulous!! So so nice and helpful with my dietary questions. I'm grateful for his help and positive personality!

Food is good but... They have allowed a large group take over during the lunch hour, leaving no nearby parking, long lines for food, no seating, loud environment etc. If you're going to allow your dining room to be be turned into a cafeteria at a senior facility, at least plan accordingly. Put in some 15 minute parking, move them to one area and have a designated server for them. How do you expect people running in on their lunch break to be able to order and enjoy their meal??? read more

I know it's a chain but don't knock it till you try it. The mango berry salad is absolutely amazing. It's got candied nuts in a sweet dressing paired with strawberries and of course mango. Every meal comes with chocolate covered strawberries did I mention you have a lobster bisque what more can you ask for? read more

We love Zupas! We can walk to Zupas and come a lot. We do the create your own salad and it comes with a chocolate covered strawberry, and roll. The salad sizes are great they offer a full/half option which is nice so you aren't wasting food. The people who work there are incredibly kind too, which always makes it nice. The restaurant is always clean also, and there is outdoor seating for a nice day. Highly recommend! read more

The concept behind Cafe Zupas's is to have a café filled with fresh ingredients. I've seen produce trucks making deliveries at heir stores many times. I love the idea of having good food that you don't have to feel guilty about. I've loved their food since the first time that I've been to one of their restaurants. I've stayed away recently because they raised their prices to be more expensive than Panera. A group of coworkers wanted to go there. To my surprise their prices had gone back down and their food tasted as good as ever. When you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by signs that direct you in how to order. It's not overly complicated but I still enjoy clear signage. The restaurant is clean and the decorations and atmosphere is inviting. I had the BBQ pork sandwich and the lobster bisque. With your meal you get a roll and a chocolate covered strawberry. The sandwich had a great taste. The BBQ sauce paired nice with the slaw that they use. The lobster bisque was hearty with generous portions. I used the roll to dip into the soup. And you can't beat a chocolate covered strawberry for the perfect ending. Now that the prices are more in line with other establishments, I look forward to going back more often. read more

What can I say, when I like something I like something! Their chicken noodle soup is just so good! It's so full of noodles veggies & chicken. Comes with bread and a chocolate covered strawberry! read more

I visited Café Zupas today and had a great experience. The portions are on the smaller side, but it was enough food for me. I ordered the enchilada soup and BBQ chicken salad. Since I track my macros, I ordered extra chicken because the initial serving didn't seem like enough protein. The enchilada soup was delicious and the salad was tasty as well. I do wish the side of bread was served warm. Overall, I give it 4 stars. read more

I am. Sick at home and my wife is in arizona with her very ill mother. She decided to send me some food and she sent out four cups of soup and 2 sandwiches. 1 of the soups was lobster bisque ,which tasted nothing like lobster and was full of unwanted vegetables. The 2 sandwiches were pathetic, looked nothing like their pictures online. I called into the restaurant and spoke to a woman who said she was one of the managers. I explained how I was very unhappy about the food and asked her what they were going to do for me.she basically said she could only issue a refund if she contacted my wife who placed the order. I objected to that because I didn't want my wife to feel bad that the food was not satisfactory and the fact that she was doing a nice thing for me. It didn't want to hurt her feelings. This manager basically said she couldn't do that and I told her that the payment came from our joint checking, so why did she mandate that my wife had to be hurt by telling her that I was very unhappy with the food order. She would not relent and basically hung up on me. This is HORRIBLE. Why does this resturant have such heartless employees and why does the food look nothing like the photos or the lobster bisque not even remotely resemble any other I have had 50 times in my life. This is terrible. read more

The "team leader" lets you stand waiting to order and doesn't even acknowledge you. People won't mind waiting if they're not ignored!

I'm not going to single anyone out in particular cuz I know people need to make there money. But management or someone there need to teach some common sense to the employees. When I got there today someone was sweeping the floors. Touching a dirty ass broom. Instinctually I would think the first thing to do when you help someone right after is WASH YOUR HANDS. But no he proceeds to grab the gloves with his dirty hands. Even trying to open the gloves to put them on, he still touch the side he's going to touch my food with with his dirty hands. I get this is not a Michelin Star restaurant but have some pride and common sense. And the last thing is wear a clean apron.How are you going to have all kinds of stains all over your work clothes. That's so off pudding. read more

i went in today during lunch and got a build my own bowl, everyone was super helpful and they were so fast too!! the food was fantastic and they even had a bread and chocolate dipped strawberry. the lobby is roomy too even with the card ladies read more

Great food and service always. The try 2 combo is the best deal and the ambiance is amazing

Came here last Friday night for a quick dinner. The food was good however the staff really made the experience. They were very helpful and accommodating read more

I gave this restaurant 3 stars because it wasn't anything special. The food was just ok and the ambiance was very noisy as there were groups of women playing MahJongg nearby, besides the usual restaurant noise, with nothing to absorb sound. The environment was quite sterile. I also felt the portions were small for the price. I won't be returning. read more

The friendliness/great soups, sandwiches and salads can't be beat. There is such a variety, I go once a week with friends. Perfect place for women as they offer 1/2 servings. Not that it isn't great for men. There are always equal numbers. Whole servings are terrific for larger eaters but for lunch, I prefer the half servings and the price is definitely affordable. Portions are generous. AND, each meal includes a roll and and chocolate covered strawberry. My only problem with the menu is that there is such variety that I have difficulty deciding what I will eat because I like so many of them. The soups are terrific and are enough for a meal. The veggie soup has an unbelievably delicious bouillon base. My friends get the chicken enchilada chili soup..so good. And they have specials frequently that are terrific. I love the golden curry chicken soup. If you can't decide they let you have half of bowl of two different soups. They heat the sandwiches if requested which makes them panini-like. My friends share a sandwich for lunch. (They don't care how little you order.) I love the turkey avocado club. I also love the salad selection. My favorite is the California Club. There are many, many dressing choices and you get a choice of three types of lettuce. AND there is avocado on many of the choices. They also have a very affordable kids menu. The restaurant is extremely clean and so are the washrooms. The choice of beverages is good as is the choice of desserts. The staff is terrific. Always so, so friendly!!! And efficient. I can't say enough about Cafe Zupas in Deerfield. I feel like I'm advertising but I have no connection with this establishment, I just love it! read more

It's a somewhat unorganized cafeteria style ordering and assembly line which you order and gets clogged up with people waiting on portions of their order even if u just want a sandwich and pay. Nobody dedicated to work the register the single person was packaging the unorganized portions together. There is just a disconnect between each station along the line. They should place an order and print out your order and send it down the assembly line instead you are stuck telling each person if you did or did not have soup or anything else etc. The food itself was not great. It's fresh but the bread it airy and flavorless (think mini 4" subway style bread) small portion sandwiches with skippy toppings. I had the gourmet vegetarian sandwich and what the website image portrays as a full slab of tofu was very different than them 3 mini cubes on either half of my sandwich I received. Basically they prepare things for salads and bowls not the sandwich and plop the little skimpy portions on your sandwich. If your not hungry it's fine but for a dinner style full meal it was disappointing. I know they are new and likely will improve the workflow process although I feel the pictures aren't representative of what you receive. And the two sandwiches we ordered were sitting waiting while the 8 people in front of us order more things and waiting for one person to package and finalizes all the meals and ring them up. It added an extra 10 minutes that was unnecessary for us to pay if they had a dedicated cashier we could have bypassed all those people, pay and leave. Sorry not sorry but not impressed. PS- the desserts tastes like little debbie's snack cakes read more

Zupas has a nice modern decor with good seating. They have lots of tables and booths as well as outside seating. The location is nice to walk around and next to a fountain. The food was very good. My husband whose a little picky said he would like to come back next week. I like that we got bread and a little desert with our soups and salads. Everything was pleasant except for the older women sitting at tables playing cards. We came on a Tuesday afternoon and there were four tables of older women and they were staring, constantly giving us looks throughout our 30mins of being there. My husband and I are an interracial couple with a toddler and we both felt very uncomfortable because of them. Very sad. read more

I suppose given the name it's obvious. You should come here for the soup. I took advantage of a good deal offering of a sandwich and half soup. The clam chowder was great with true character. The sandwich was a fine accompaniment (I had the Italian), but the soup was the true winner. The restaurant is modern, open and airy. read more

Cafe Zupas and I are both new to Deerfield. Today, I thought I'd give it a try. As I walked in, my first impression was a good one. The space is large, clean, and bright, with tons of windows. There was a relatively long line, but it moved swiftly. I ordered the Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich, and a 1/2 bowl of the Lobster Bisque. They threw in a dinner roll and a chocolate-dipped strawberry (a nice touch). The sandwich and soup were both tasty, but maybe too rich. I finished all the soup, but threw in the towel before I finished my sandwich. My bill came to $10.76, which is a good value, considering the quantity and quality of food. This place is pretty solid, for a fast-food chain. I will definitely be back. Hopefully Cafe Zupas and I will both enjoy a long stay in Deerfield. read more
