I was lucky enough to attend a sneak preview of the new Zupas in Sugarhouse a couple of days ago.
They are now open at 2236 S. 1300 E., just west of the Michael's craft store in the shopping center.
Their Grand Opening begins Thursday, Nov. 15-16, 2012 with free food, discounts and giveaways:
FREE dessert with every meal!
First 50 people (doors open at 11 AM) get 50% their entire order!
Enter to win a catered meal for your office (or group of friends)
They'll be giving away a catered lunch every day during the grand opening!
Saturday, Nov. 17 is their Grand Opening party ~ you won't want to miss it!
Along with FREE dessert with every meal and first 50 people receiving 50% off, here are the awesome giveaways ...
Win free food for a year! One very lucky person will win a $520 gift certificate!
A $25 gift card will be given away every 15 minutes!
You will LOVE your Cafe Zupas experience! Here's what I experienced:
At the door, you will be handed a paper menu, with lots of choices ~
I love how you can individualize your meal (no tomatoes, please) and that they have a kid-friendly menu.
This sign speaks to the great service at Zupas ... their staff was very friendly and courteous!
Not only does Zupas have crunchy salads and hot soups, they have many decadent desserts to choose from ...
Every meal comes with a complimentary crust slice of bread and a chocolate dipped strawberry!
I ordered the Honey Bacon Club grilled panini sandwich with a Shanghai Chicken salad.
I loved the sandwich salty/sweet flavor combo of turkey, bacon, ham, Muenster cheese and honey mustard dressing.
Zupa's salads are always perfect. I hate it when my salad has way too much dressing, overpowering the taste of the other ingredients, and leaving a soupy, watery mess in the bottom of my bowl. At Zupas, they mix the right amount of dressing with the salad greens in a separate bowl, return the mix to your serving bowl and top it with your requested ingredients.
Hubby ordered the Thai Lobster Curry soup and the California Turkey sandwich.
The soup was a unique blend of lobster, Thai spices and coconut milk, lending a not-too-spicy, yet exotic taste. The sandwich was perfect for my husband, who loves avocados and Ranch dressing on a hearty roll.
No meal is complete without trying dessert!
My husband picked out his favorite rich and creamy cheesecake.
Me? My eyes were fixed on this Million Dollar Bar....reminiscent of the seven layer bars that I grew up with ... only much larger in size!
Is your mouth watering yet? I'm getting hungry!
How about a giveaway? I'm giving away one lucky reader the following:
The Cafe Zupas Blogger's Cookbook, a hard back spiral bound cookbook filled with over 50 seasonal recipes from Utah bloggers that have contributed to Cafe Zupas.
A $25 gift card to enjoy a meal with a friend a Cafe Zupas!

ReplyDeleteI love the berry salad that has all kinds of fresh berries - it is so good!! Rafflecopter worked fine for me :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing SO many great comments about the berry salad! Thanks for letting me know Rafflecopter worked for you!
DeleteSpeaking of bread, I heart the Zupas bread. My favorite thing there is to mix wisconsin cheddar and tomato bisque. YUM. But I also heart the BBQ Salad. MMMM michelleATstartupprincessDOTcom
ReplyDeleteMix the soups?!? Amazing! Never thought to do that! Of course I always mix alfredo with marinara sauce, so it would make sense with this soup combo. Thanks for the idea!
DeleteFrieda, I read this earlier today. After sitting next to you tonight, I have to comment and tell you how fun it was to add the face to your blog! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jan! It was great to visit with you and meet your cutie pie!

DeleteAll the soups are great but I especially love the Wisconsin Cauliflower!
ReplyDeleteI just tried the Wisconsin Cauliflower soup for the first time last night and it was SO good! I am NOT a fan of cauliflower and could not taste it at all. It tasted like a good, creamy, cheese soup.
Deletethe Yucatan Chicken Salad sounds wonderful! We don't have Zupas where I live, so I would love to try out the recipe book. Thanks for the chance at a giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love everything I've ever tried at Zupas! But the Thai Lobster Curry Soup is one thing I can't resist getting! I was able to use the Rafflecopter form no problem.
ReplyDeleteI used raffle copter just fine. :)
