    Avocado caesar salad, Pumpkin Chorizo soup and Honey Bacon Club sandwich
    Dale B.

    I've been to this Cafe Zupas location a few times as it's near my house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's always pretty clean and well-lit on the interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is pretty narrow near the line for ordering but opens up in the dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You start by entering the line to place your order (salad & sandwich station followed by soup and dessert station). They make your salad and sandwich after being ordered and you can customize as your wish. *Nut allergy warning* - This place is not safeguarded for those with nut allergies. One of the most egregious displays is their nut bin containers for adding nuts to the salads is behind all of the other veggies and salad toppings, and at a full arms reach for the employees, thus very easy to drop nuts in the other bins and cross-contaminate The soups are all pre-made in a big container that always has that congealed film on top until stirred up. They typically have 9 soups available (8 permanent and 1 seasonal). Right now the seasonal is the Pumpkin chorizo and it's amazing, so I highly suggest it. They took away my favorite soup- the roasted red pepper and lobster. Hopefully they bring it back as most of their other soups are more bland. The meals come with a roll and a chocolate dipped strawberry. They also come with a pretty heavy price tag for what you're getting. My wife got the honey bacon club and the sandwich was 90% bread with a thin slice of ham and non-visible bacon. It couldn't cost them more than $1 but it's $8.19, close to the price of a fully loaded 6" sub sandwich anywhere else. They have a coke fountain and some custom honey-sweetened drinks. None of the drinks impressed me. I typically just get a water cup as soda doesn't pair well with the soups and salads. Overall this place is average for the money. Some of their soups are pretty tasty but the sandwiches and salads are very ordinary for a lofty price.

    Was in a rush and needed to get lunch quickly. I didnt want to sacrifice quality and go through a drive-thru. I used the Cafe Zuppa app to easily place my order and selected asap. The order was being packed when we got there. I saw someone in the back making a soup/dressing fresh. Our order was perfectly made fresh and so good! We will definitely grab food from here again!

    came here on lunch with my husband for a quick lunch date! i discovered this place from my work who has catered from here a couple of times and it has consistently been so good! we both did the try 2 combo where you get to choose 2 items between either a sandwich, soup, or salad. i got the italian club with the avocado caesar and it was so yummy! for $13 and the amount of food you get (full sandwich, half salad, a roll AND a chocolate dipped strawberry) - what a deal! we will absolutely be back. staff was incredibly nice too and greeted us when we walked in!

    My mom and I were famished after doing some car shopping down the road and we just happened upon this place. I sooooo wish we had this in Tucson! They have soups, sandwiches, salads, and bowls. Both my mom and I opted for a salad. I got the chipotle glazed and my mom got the avocado Caesar. We each got the half order and it was big! And so good! Exactly what we were craving. I especially loved the dressing on my salad and all of the ingredients just worked perfectly together. And what a nice surprise that a delicious roll and a chocolate dipped strawberry comes with your order! Love that. We also each got a fountain drink and they have several fun in-house options. My mom loved the raspberry citrus infusion and I liked the sunshine shot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was quick and friendly and place was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only complaint is that it was somewhat cold in there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall a great experience and next time I'm in the Phoenix area I will make a specific effort to come back here! It's that good.

    Thank You Matthew for the recommendation of the Strawberry Harvest salad. I have been stuck on the Mangoberry salad because I loved it. I did want to venture out since the Mangoberry was the salad of choice for me 5 times in a row. I did love the strawberry harvest as well. Cafe Zupas did not disappoint. Thank You to Peter as well for being welcoming and energetic.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fast casual restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was quick and everybody was friendly. My southwest potato & green chili soup was good but could have been warmer. My avocado Caesar salad didn't really taste like a Caesar. The lettuce was not chopped well and the dressing wasn't mixed into the salad well. Half of it had no dressing at all.

    Grilled cheese brisket sandwich and tomato soup with Parmesan cheese

    Great Food, but Cleanliness Could Improve This is our go-to for date nights when we want something simple, filling, and a bit on the healthy side . The food is consistently good, and we've never left disappointed--that's exactly why we keep coming back . On our last visit, I had the grilled cheese brisket on white bread with tomato soup , while my husband enjoyed the Nuts & Berries salad with vegetable & chickpea soup . I [[HIGHLIGHT]]also tried the mango mocktail --delicious! Now for the one thing that could be better cleanliness. When preparing food, it's important not to wipe gloves on clothing or aprons and then continue handling food ‍. I usually request new gloves when my food is made, just to be safe . Also, the tables are often not clean when we arrive, and we usually have to ask for one to be wiped down[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, we love the food and will keep coming back --but we'd love to see more attention paid to food handling and table cleanliness soon[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] .

    Sandwich (can't remember which) & lobster bisque (which he loves)
    Ashley C.

    My husband and I came here this past Thursday evening around 8pm after traveling from Tucson. We were trying to find a sandwich and salad spot that we went to some months ago and really enjoyed. I'm happy to say this was the spot! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything here hit the nail on the head and exceeded my expectations from the cleanliness to the hospitality to the quality of the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of the associates, whom I spoke to most had great banter. When I asked about the Dubai chocolate shake, he let me know, unfortunately that they were all out. He also informed me on the process and how the cream was being imported from Italy as we spoke and encouraged to come back and try it. I did...at a different location but that's a different review for a different location (let me say the Zuppa locations are not all equals!!) Anyway, he spoke to me about the freshness of the ingredients they use and how they make the soups daily and bring in fresh produce that's used in the restaurant as well. From looking at the menu and the food in front of me, I wanted a little bit of everything, however I chose the curry dish as well as some of the chicken noodle soup which typically I would never buy as I feel it's basic, however after tasting a few of the soups, the chicken noodle was so good. I had to get it. My husband got a sandwich and the lobster bisque which he loved as much as he did last time. All meals come with a roll and chocolate covered strawberry, which is so unique! Of course we loved our meals. This place is cemented as a favorite for us and a must stop when we go to Phoenix now!

    I thought Cafe Zupas was a good lunch spot that is a great concept. It's basically a soup and sandwich spot, however the soups are very good. The sandwich wasn't too bad either, however the soups and desserts seemed to be the major draw. The ambiance was more upscale than I thought, however overall it was still very casual. There was plenty of seating and the restaurant was very clean. The food is served very quickly and all meals come with a complementary chocolate dipped strawberry. The best soup we had was tomato basil - a must try even in hot Arizona. The prices were fair, not a great deal, but on par with other major competitors. It was a nice place to dine-in as well, and they do have a good selection of beverages. Overall, a good lunch spot in Gilbert and definitely worth checking out again!

    They had tables on the outside, which would have been nice to sit at. The weather has gotten cold and rainy, so we were planning on sitting indoors. All of the tables were full and not cleared because there was a large lunch rush. The line to order was also crowded. The stanchions for the line were not set up very well and people were a little confused where they should stand and line up. We had to wait in line for quite a while, but once we got to the front, it was a bit faster to order and to pay. They had a variety of soda machines and lemonade dispensers in the dining area. The lemonade was very weak, and didn't taste very strongly of lemon. I tried two of the different lemonades, and they were both quite weak. They also ran out of the plastic forks and the other utensils. I had the tortilla soup and the lobster bisque soup. They were both tasty. The lobster bisque soup was sweeter than the tortilla soup. I liked the flavor of the lobster bisque soup a little better than the tortilla soup. I didn't notice until later that they had crackers in the condiment area near the soda machines that you could use in order to put into your soups. We also got a pesto chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was nice and crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside of the bread. I couldn't really taste the pesto in the chicken sandwich, but it was not dry and I liked that it was a moist sandwich. The meal came with chocolate covered strawberries and a piece of bread.

The mac & cheese is some of the best I've ever had! I also feel like it's a little healthier than some other spots. We went for lunch around 12:30p so it was pretty busy but they did a really good job at seating us. Usually you take a table number after you order and sit down but since it was so busy, they made sure there was seating available before ordering since the food comes out so quickly. Always really friendly staff. Some of the seating is a little close, especially in the middle of the restaurant where the smaller 2 person tables are but there are plenty of other seats, as well as outdoor seating.

This is beyond disappointing because it was one of my favorite dishes, my go-to. Why would they eliminate a popular dish from their menu, especially when it's a popular one? Ugh. I'm really disappointed by this and I'm not the only one. This is why we can't have nice things because someone decides to make poor changes based on management decisions rather than its customer feedback. I'm going to sit in this salty space for a while and right now, and I can't say that I will come back, even if there are other good dishes. Removing a favorite is taboo, regardless if it's "not in season" or management adds new dishes. Yeah, I'm just annoyed by this change.

At Joe's Farm Grill, the quality of ingredients does show in every single dish you get. Another thing to mention is, when you're done ordering your food at the register, they are pretty fast regardless of how packed the place is which pleasantly surprised me! For the onion rings, I liked them for a few reasons. Starting off, the onions weren't soggy by any means which I love in a good ring, batter wasn't the majority of the ring which is also a great sign, and lastly the crunch was very nice with them coming out fresh. The Fontina burger has a great beef patty that carries its flavor by how clean it tastes alongside the mushrooms that are the other biggest taste factor for this burger. Finally, the baby back ribs were the star for me personally because you can actually taste the pork for its quality. I usually expect a super sweet sauce that bogs me down after with ribs, but these ones left me feeling able to still go on about my day which I love. They aren't shake off the bone tender but I liked the gentle chew they provide. Overall, I recommend Joe's to anyone who cares more about the ingredient sourcing and quality while enjoying a nice family friendly vibe for a lunch/dinner. They have a great outdoor patio seating for times when it's not over 100 degrees.
