Zoup!

Love their rotating selections and also that they allow you to sample first! Will keep coming back!

They have really good soup options, and you can view their daily menu online! My favourite soup of theirs is the tomato bisque. You can also taste the soups before you try it to see if you like it. (also, if you sign up for their email subscription you can get a coupon for buy one, get one free soup!)

Probably the best soup place around. Their always-​rotating selection of soups means that there’s always something new to try when you go — and try you may! They offer tastings of all soups to help you decide on which one to get.
They are a great lunch option, being in the heart of uptown Waterloo. Their combos (of choose 2 half soup, salad, or sandwich) offer an affordable yet well rounded lunch selection. And though they are half portions, it can be quite filling.
They have many food-​sensitive options (such as dairy-​free, gluten-​free, vegetarian), and these are well-​labelled on the menus so you know what you are getting in to (although they don’t offer gluten-​free bread rolls to go with your gluten-​free soup — what’s up with that?).
My typical choices are the lobster bisque and the loco burrito salad. Both very delicious.

The best place to go for lunch during the winter. Their soups change daily. They allow you to have a little soup tasting before you order, which I like. I always order a side soup and it comes with complimentary bread (always fresh and soft). The service is always the friendliest, the food quality is consistent, and the atmosphere is clean. It’s a tad on the pricey side, but it is gourmet soup. They have sandwiches as well, which I haven’t tried. Highly recommended.

The food here isn’t bad. It is expensive though. It is very similar to the «Panera» concept of fast casual eating. The food is perceived to be gourmet and the prices reflect that. The portions are almost questionably small, but the small bites you get do taste pretty good.

Best soups in the city! You can taste them all and they also have great salads and sandwiches. Reminds me of the American Soup Plantation… Except better! Love.

Went here for lunch. Place was extremely busy. I had the lobster bisque which was delicious! My husband had a soup and sandwich that he enjoyed very much. A bit pricey for me but I would definitely go back! The food was worth it

I really like the concept of this place. With a variety of soups, salads, and sandwiches there’s something for all tastes and preferences. There are also low fat, gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free, and lower calorie options indicated on the menu for health conscious people or those with allergies.
But in reality, it’s not as good as it sounds. My Loco Burrito salad was just eh, although I liked the guacamole that came on it. And my boyfriend’s 4 cheese melt was a sad excuse for a grilled cheese. There was barely any cheese on it, and it wasn’t even warm and gooey. His chicken potpie soup was probably the best thing we ordered.

Love this place! The vegetarian soup options are great and I like that they let you sample before choosing. Nice for a light lunch. I’ll be going back.

I love this place! I’ve been there a bunch, most recently today. It’s very good to the price if you compare it to other sit-​down restaurants, especially if you get a breadboule, as they’re very filling. The Try Two combo is also really filling if you get a sandwich instead of a salad.
You can sample all their soups before you go which is awesome. The chicken pot pie is good, but my favourite is fire-​roasted tomato bisque. I’ve had it twice now and it’s amazing.
Their cup sizes are decent and they don’t have a hard time with giving you a cup for water, or getting refills.
Probably my place in Waterloo!

Have you ever had lobster bisque?
Yes? That’s great. Now come and try the one here.
No? That’s alright. Come and try the one here.
In case I wasn’t obvious enough, I’m a diehard fan for their lobster bisque here. What can I say? It’s a cream-​based soup with chunks of lobster that sends waves of comfort with every bite I take.
The price tag may shock the crowd that is used to the budget-​friendly canned soup found at your local grocer, but for those of you who are looking for a hearty bowl of soup with ingredients your tastebuds can actually recognize? And an option to make it a combo with a side salad or a side sandwich, which both match the quality of the soup in taste? Well, that’s worth paying a premium for, in my opinion.
Keep an eye out for their stamp card program in the summer time. Typical loyalty cards… As if they need another reason for customers to return! (Kidding. I love it.)

Visited the Waterloo Town Square location two days ago to catch to with an old friend. I like that there is a whole bar just so you can sample the soups before you pick what you want.
Ended up ordering the salad + sandwich combo. Chicken Toscana and sandwich and the Sonoma salad (think that’s what it was called). All fresh and yummy, quick service, and relatively inexpensive.
Lots of seating, good atmosphere for a quick lunch.

I love soup, so naturally this place was worth a visit. I really liked how they openly let you ask for samples before making your order, and the two I tasted (Wild Mushroom Barley, Cajun Chicken & Sausage Gumbo) were quite hearty, tasty, and filling. However, I found that this stuff does run a little expensive for one bowl of soup (my 16oz gumbo rang in $ 10.45 with tax), not to mention I felt that what I tasted ran a little high in sodium, or at least about the same in saltiness as something out of a can – although I cannot say I didn’t anticipate as much, considering how this place is essentially fast food.
Worth coming back if in a hurry and craving a hearty bowl of soup.

I’ve heard good things about Zoup, so when I was uptown yesterday I decided I’d give it a try. The broccoli cheddar soup was pretty tasty. The Veggie-​terranean wrap on the other hand wasn’t anything special. It seemed like something I would make at home (which isn’t saying much). I guess I can accept this since the place is called Zoup, not Zraps.
I got a soup and sandwich combo, which ended up being $ 8.50 +tax. I felt the portion size was pretty small for the price.
I’d come here again, but I’d get a bigger soup and skip the wrap.

Love Zoup. Rotating soups, sandwiches, salads. What more can you want. Staff are nice. Can try every soup before you order.
Can’t wait for Zoups to be all over Ontario cause right now I have to drive an hour to get to one.

This place was a godsend after my jaw surgery, with a great variety of soups that definitely taste better than canned soup. They have a huge variety that changes up daily, so definitely check on their website what they’re offering that day to avoid disappointment.
I’m super fond of their tomato basil bisque, as well as their chicken pot pie soup. Their cheeseburger soup is also a great substitute for burgers that you can’t eat.
My only criticism is the price tag. It’s fine for a once in a while outing, but considering presentation and atmosphere, it’s definitely more expensive than you would expect.

They have a huge variety of soups that rotate daily, and you’re allowed to sample, as well.
They have an ample amount of seating at the front, though it is almost always full. Take note that there is also some hidden seating near the back of the restaurant which we usually sit at due to the business.
All of their salads can be put in a wrap, but it seems that their wrap sizes vary by salad type! The burrito salad that my friend ordered was huge, compared to the tiny wrap that my other friend got. Lobster bisque is good. They have good vegetarian options.
If you’ve had RaviSoups in Toronto, then you will also enjoy this place. Highly recommended!

When I first tried Zoup in the US, I told myself that if there ever was one in Canada I’m definitely going. Sure enough, one opened in Waterloo, a quick jog from campus!
I love the soups here. Lobster Bisque for sure. Other stores shred their lobsters, but this place gives whole chunks! Yum! The soup itself is delicious too, you can tell a lot of effort was put into making the soup.
Sandwiches were meh, but hey… it’s called Zoup for a reason.
Free wifi!

I love this place. Fast, hot, tasty soup for $ 6 – 9 per person. The lobster bisque has huge chunks of lobster in it. I’m told they make other soups too but who cares when lobster bisque is an option? :P

Zoup is a very interesting new restaurant! Soups, salads and sandwiches with an emphasis on the soup. They have 100 soups with 12 in rotations everyday. They had 3 vegetarian options available for soup and multiple sandwich options. I only tried soup and it was pretty delectable. The décor and ambiance is also very quaint. It is a little pricey, but the soups are great and worth the money. I most definitely want to go back and try more!
