Holy sh%# they know their way around a soup at this place. Soup flight was amazing - I just moved to this area and it was the best food i've had so far. Was crazy busy for a random Monday at noon, but can't wait to come back when it's a little chiller in there read more

Had the Korean Po boy, very good. Arrived around 11:30 am on a Tuesday, not overly crowded. Also had the chowder, very good quality. Place was clean and not overly noisy. Will go back. read more

The workers were very friendly, they had a few regulars who were dining when I came in. I was by myself but my server helped me have a good time. I got one of the specials - scallops - so fuckin good and buttery. I got the risotto with crab cakes next and couldn't finish it but it was also great. Everything is fresh and the menu rotates seasonally I believe read more

Over priced, mediocre and pretentious. Made reservations, they made us wait 1/2 hour in an empty restaurant until they "had room" to seat us. Another time they were out of most of their menu items. read more

Our favorite local restaurant (and we've tried A LOT of them). Soup Spoon manages to be one of those rare all-in-one places. Want a an affordable bowl of soup and some bread? They do it best. Sandwich shop? Yep. Breakfast or brunch? "Normal" or experimental? Need a fancy place to bring your date? All in the same restaurant. Not sure how they do it, but I'm just glad we live nearby so we can enjoy it for whatever mood we're in! read more

Very disappointing. When we first moved to Lansing this was my favorite place, but something has changed. Went here recently for my birthday and was very disappointed. Seating was horrible- A small table up against the wall, across from the kitchen and by the swinging doors going towards the bathroom. When we asked for a different seat, we were told there were none, but even after people had finished and left, were weren't able to have those seats either. Food was EXTREMELY salty and barely warm. If I do give this place another chance, it will NOT be for a special occasion. read more

I'm really confused by the great reviews. The stacked French toast had a weirdly sour and salty taste. The hash browns were extremely salty and greasy. They also had an off taste which my son agreed with. His pancakes were well-done to say the least. I saw a few plates of food come out with gravy that appeared gelatinous. The waitress was friendly but wouldn't offer refills even though she looked at the empty cups. She did refill when asked. I would not go back. read more

This lansing staple offers good food that is reliable and tasty. I've been a dozen plus times over the last couple of years and it always delivers big portions and tasty food. It isn't the most elevated of a dinning experience - don't expect surprises but if you go in wanting comfort food you'll be happy. You can make reservations online and if you're going in during the lunch hour, I would suggest planning ahead. I've also had great luck with take out - so if you're in a pinch calling in an order is a great option. read more

We really enjoyed the seafood chowder and we also tried the vegan duo soup which had chickpeas and some greens in it. We accompanied the soups with pot stickers, empeñadas, and house bread in hope our toddler would take to one. We devoured the pot stickers and they were the toddlers favorite. The empañadas were good too but a bit spicy for the toddler. Then we had enough house bread to take some home. We wanted to leave room for dessert and we took on the bread pudding. What an Amazing finish to the meal! read more

Slept on Soup Spoon for quite some time but after frequenting recently, I'm a fan. They are extremely welcoming and the atmosphere is warming and energetic. Brunch offers well thought out options. Dinner menu offers equally exciting and creative options and reservations are accepted should you enjoy getting gussied up but not taking yourself too seriously ;-) read more

Have not been here since pre-Covid. Wine was good. Onion soup was jut warm. Piece of some sort of cheese semi melted on top with a hard piece of bread in the soup. Not the soup I remembered. Blue gill entree was good as well as the spoon Pino. The place really needs to be updated inside. read more

As my teen would say, this place is mid. We tried the soup flight (which you have to ask for btw). Clam chowder was by far the best, the watermelon guspatcho was fun, the french onion was solid, chicken noodle was steeped in sage (meh for us). Entries we tried (as recommended by staff) the brisket burrito and duck meatloaf. Both were just okay. The menu portrays complex dishes however in execution they fall short. The brisket was sliced thin and not smoked and a brown gravy was used that really over powered any other flavor that could have been there. The service was okay, we had to ask about soups and specials, food was quick to come out. Not a place we would visit again. read more

You can get a soup flight here! I love this place for that alone. 4 little bowls of different types of soup with bread? Perfection. I love the rest of the menu though too, there's a lot of good stuff, especially breakfast. They have outdoor seating as well and dogs are allowed. There's a big parking lot right next to it, so parking is easy. read more

The customers were all laid back because the staff was so efficient at meeting their needs. It was an awesome thing to watch.

Atmosphere - 3/5 Service - 3/5 Food - 4/5 Price - 4/5 This is usually the spot I hit when I'm back in the area and looking for a good lunch. Obviously based on the name, their soups are the best things on the menu. French onion soup is my favorite and I know I will get a good one here. He sandwiches are also good, and a soup and sandwich is the perfect lunch. I normally go for something g different, but I got the Cubans this time and was slightly disappointed. It wasn't that the sandwich was bad, it was just not a traditional Cubano which was what I was looking for. Service was a bit rushed, but they were also crazy busy. I was also cold and there were many people wearing their coats inside. Overall, I know I will get a good meal here and this will continue to be a place I recommend for people when they visit Lansing. read more

The Soup Spoon is one of our favorite restaurants. We ordered the scallops as an appetizer. They were delicious and absolutely flavorful. I was trying to decide between the lamb shank or rack of lamb. I ended up with the rack, and it was tremendous. I loved the Dijon sauce roasted on it. We also had the salmon. Which is a favorite of ours and it was moist and cooked to perfection. read more

I do not recommend breakfast unless you have aSALT addiction. House made corned beef hash had 1 taste-SALT. They did give me a discount on my meal. My wife's hash browns were covered with salt. read more

Love Soup Spoon for breakfast! Every menus item teases your taste buds. The Blackforest omelet is my first choice. Their soups are really interesting options that seem to a favorite by a lot of people. When doing lunch my go-to choice is voodoo shrimp. A wow for me every time. read more

Had lunch here today!. Loved everything! The location, easy parking, atmosphere, service and diverse menu make this venue a perfect eatery for all. Food was great! I hadn't been there for years and definitely going back soon! Next door to Fabiano's Candy is a big holiday plus! read more

What a cute little restaurant! It's a class Lansing staple with such cute decor. There's a bar right in the middle and service is so prompt, kind, and overall fantastic! Came here with a good friend and she got her usual pork schnitzel and it was quite delicious! The pickle relish is a perfect mix with the crispy crunch of the pork. The sour cream is a cherry on top! The salad was also delicious (for those that do not like cooked greens, might not be for you). Was able to polish the whole plate off. I got the Chefs stroganoff after looking at other Yelp reviews. I was pleasantly survived by how much beef I had under the herbed pappardelle. The only reason I didn't give 5/5 was because I wished it was just a little less salty. I reheated them today and it was still a good lunch! For dessert, I would highly recommend the crème brûlée! What a sweet and perfect dessert to end dinner with. The portions over all were huge and definitely shareable. Would highly recommend coming here, but do get a reservation since the tables do fill up fast! read more

It's ok. I had the pastrami. I recommend getting the double meat option. My sandwich was mostly bread. Also, the horseradish was entirely absent from 1/2 of the sandwich. Basically doubled up the meat from one 1/2 onto the 1/2 that had sauce to make an acceptable 1/2 sandwich. It was super busy in there which had my expectations running high. But ultimately I left disappointed. read more

got the Irish scramble and biscuits n gravy on the side. I'm 260lbs, so I added the side thinking the portions would be small. I couldn't finish my meal. Very good portion sizes, higher than usual quality ingredients. They definitely have a unique produce supplier, cause I know this areas produce sucks ass. Theirs is fresh, crisp, and causes flavor pops in a scramble. read more

Great food and great service! Everything is reasonably priced and the portion size had enough for leftovers the next day. We got the cherry bomb shrimp, seafood chowder, seasonal pasta, rainbow trout, and the lemon blueberry cheesecake for dessert. The seafood chowder is a must have if you come here! The seasonal pasta had such a unique smokey flavor to it and the brisket was very tender. Also highly recommend getting their dark & stormy if you're in the mood for a cocktail. I'll be coming back to Lansing in a few months and can't wait to try more items on their menu! read more

I don't care for the greasiness that comes with their Bowls of stacked food... hash - eggs etc . Seating is also not too comfortable to just relax & go for coffee & dessert if they have any. read more

Made a reservation, got a TEXT CONFIRMATION for our table... showed up for said reservation and was told very rudely by the tall, skinny "manager" they didn't have my name anywhere. He refused to look for my name or number or even explain why the system sent us an incorrect confirmation??? Lol it was ghetto Eat Slugs read more

This is my second visit to the Soup Spoon Cafe. I happened to be town visiting a long time friend from HS. When he suggested dinner here I said YES! We both ordered the Chowder and a salad. While we were waiting we started with drinks so I had a Jameson Irish Whiskey. Then the food came and while we were all spoons and forks the manager came by and offered samples of a new white wine. It was very good, not too sweet and a hint of citrus. It paired well with the Chowder and salad. After the chowder we tried the Crab Cakes but the sauce was a little bitter. You know they also serve the crab cakes with their version of 'Eggs Benedict' topped with Hollandaise Sauce. Those are simply delicious! Having dined here previously, I take nothing away from my recommendation but good food, good service, kind conversation with the staff, and good memories with my HS friend! If you have never been, try it. They have an extensive menu, a stocked bar, and some very tasty wines. I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Thank you Yelp for leading me here!!! I've been back twice now- this place is amazing for brunch! I love the fact that they have soup flights!! I don't think I'll ever be able to return without getting a cup of their seafood bisque- it's that good. My go-to is that plus an appetizer, since their appetizers all sound incredible. So far I've had the goat cheese points and the crispy baked cheese, and both were excellent! I plan to come back again and again. Well worth the drive from Jackson! read more

I was in Lansing for the week due to the bar exam, and I stumbled upon this place while searching on Yelp for "lunch". My family and I were staying at an Airbnb nearby, so we weren't familiar with the area and were getting tired of having Panera and Blaze Pizza. Lol Enter The Soup Spoon Cafe. Let me start by saying that the customer service at this place is TOP NOTCH. The day I placed our lunch order, Lansing had been hit with a pretty bad ice storm and everything was pretty much closed. I had attempted to take my kids to the nearby kids museum and then to the state Capitol for some sightseeing and adventures, but they were all CLOSED and my kids were so bummed. I knew the cure to make everyone happy was a big, warm, delicious meal to fill our bellies. We made a pit stop to Five & Below for toys, and I called my order in. First of all - the lady who took my order was SO NICE. My son was in the middle of having a huge meltdown at Five & Below, and she waited patiently while I tried to wrangle him up, look over the menu, and relay our order to her. I think I even apologized a couple times for being so chaotic, and she replied, "No worries - take your time! I'm here when you're ready." Just so kind! We ordered and made the 5 mins drive over - the food was ready the moment I walked in! I wished we could have stayed because the ambience was so cozy, warm, and welcoming. A man with glasses and wearing a blazer handed my order to me, and we chatted a bit. I told him we were visiting because of the exam, and he was SO EXCITED for me being done that he offered to set reservations for me and my family that evening. That's how nice these people are - I'm telling you, you need to visit. Ok - but back to the food. We ordered the Naan Pizza for my kids to share, my husband had the Tuna Melt, I had the Black & Blue Wrap and we shared the Mediterranean Salad. The moment I put the bag in the car, my daughter said, "Wow - the food smells so yummy!" And IT WAS. The tuna melt has this amazing kick to it and the marbled rye bread was a nice touch. The beef tenderloin in the Black & Blue were seasoned just right and cooked perfectly. The portions were huge, so me and my husband shared our entrees so we could try each one. The salad was HUGE and so crisp and delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything you choose on their menu - everything looks phenomenal. All in all, if we are ever back in Lansing, this would be my go-to for all our meals. I can't wait to go back. read more

The breakfast I had here was so delicious that I want to go back as soon as possible. I ordered the Yooper Benny and wow, it was amazing!

I've been a loyal Soup Spoon customer for years. Their soups are all unique, homemade, and flavorful but I think their breakfasts are my favorites. They offer several different types of benedicts, the fish benedict is definitely a true original dish and one I have not had anywhere else. The omelets and egg dishes are all good, sides are good, and coffee is fresh and tasty. The ambiance is whimsical and cozy. The staff are generally very pleasant and unless there is a long wait for a table I usually can get a meal pretty timely. We've done takeout before with their soups without a problem and I really like their soup sampler. read more

My husband and I went on a date night at the Soup Spoon Cafe and were slightly disappointed. The restaurant had our table ready, which was nice, since we made reservations through Yelp. They had a huge menu with sandwiches, soups, light bite entrees, salads and entrees. I didn't love their entree choice and I felt like some were slightly overpriced for this restaurant atmosphere. I ordered the dynamo shrimp as a light entree, and it was good and my husband got the turkey sandwich which was average! I wish they had more reasonable entrees options especially for dinner. The bathrooms were loud and dirty and the whole atmosphere could use a little uplift (cleaner floors and/or new paint). Overall food was fine, but more so for lunch options and not dinner. In my opinion I would recommend going here for a nice soup, salad, or sandwich for lunch, and maybe choose another place for dinner. read more
