Cafe Zupas

I ordered their pesto chicken sandwich and I absolutely loved it. I wish it was a bigger size though.

Great experience, great food, friendly staff.
So much to choose from but I have my favorite figured out.
Roasted Red Pepper and Lobster Bisque and Chicken Pesto Panini best compliment ever!

Love the food normally, great staff. Wish my chicken enchilada soup actually had chicken in it though. Still tasted great but was looking forward to some protein in my soup.

Best home cozy comfort food in town! Soups are great, salads are awesome and sandwiches are bomb!! I really recommend this place ♥️♥️♥️ can't wait to go back.

At my company, one of the usual caterer is Cafe Zupas. Like most chain stores where the food is cliche, I never went out my way to go try them; besides, it free at work. Until today, when I noticed one newly opened in the strip plaza, where I usually stop for lunch (love the variety). This was the last store in the plaza exiting onto 600 East.

Outside has a seating area, with tables and chairs for outdoor eating. The interior looks very modern, and clean. I was greeted when entered (they wasn't busy), and immediately assisted with my order. I asked them for specials, and they recommended the combo (sandwich or salad, with soup). I ordered the "Vegetarian With Pesto Spread" on whole wheat bread sandwich, with the roasted red pepper and lobster soup. The team member recommended Croutons with my soup, which I added as a soup essential. It's a standard free add on in many places, but they charged me as "soup mix-in".

The soup was very rich and savory, with vegetable and lobster pieces in creamy sweet red pepper base. I added the croutons and scooped it up with the bread roll that came with it-it was delicious. The sandwich was a bit cold (why are vegetarian sandwiches usually cold!) for my liking, the tofu and other veggies didn't mix and stay in the sandwich; there was no emulsifier to hold the content in place, so it just fell apart. It wasn't bad, but I think it would taste better if at least the bread was toasted or warm (next time). The end of the meal was perfect, with the chocolate dipped strawberry that came with the combo. I will return to try their other items, stay tuned till next time!
