RESTAURANT REVIEW: CAFE ZUPAS {the only place I'll willingly eat soup in 100+ degree weather}


My husband and I were recently invited to a Cafe Zupas Grand Opening event here in Utah and I thought this would be a fantastic time to review one of my favorite restaurants.

Here's my disclaimer: I'm a mom. I am on a budget. Once upon a time my husband and I went to restaurants that didn't have a Play Place but 4.7 children later, those days are long gone. That being said, when we do have the rare chance to go out by ourselves, we tend to not gravitate to the 5 star restaurants where you have to dress up and Google words from the menu to know what they are. You with me?


Get the Dr. Vanilla Berry. YUM.

That being said, let me introduce you to Cafe Zupas if you haven't already had the privilege of eating there! We like fresh, creative food that is delicious and doesn't break the bank. Cafe Zupas fits the bill perfectly. They offer soup, salads and sandwiches that are made right before your eyes. It's the small things that seem to impress me at Cafe Zupas~ the fact that they use Muenster cheese on their sandwiches {my favorite!}, the free freshly baked bread and chocolate covered strawberries with every meal and the Italian soda shots at the drink counter.



The desserts are incredible~ I honestly spend more time deciding which dessert I'll get than I do deciding my dinner. Don't ask me my favorite- I love them all equally. So good!


Here was our dinner this last time we went: mushroom bisque soup, chicken chop salad, shanghai chicken salad and the California turkey sandwich. Our desserts were the salted caramel creme brulee and a rocky road brownie.



What a good sport my hubby was! 


You know that soup must be incredible if a 7-month pregnant woman is willing {and excited} to eat it in 100-degree weather! It really is delicious. So delicious in fact that I tend to make copy-cat recipes and post them here on this blog... like the Wisconsin Cauliflower Soup one. Mmmm...

If you live in Utah, Arizona or Nevada, check out the full Cafe Zupas menu here and find a location near you to try it out!

If you don't, you should head on over to the Cafe Zupas blog where they post tons of great recipes!

**Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. Cafe Zupas offered my husband and I a free meal at their newest location here in Utah because I also blog over at www.UtahDealDiva.com. Nothing was expected in exchange for the free meal, but it's once of my favorite places to eat, so I opted to post here anyways. It's really so good~ if you have one near you, make plans to eat there soon!
