They were offering a grilled hot autumn special sandwich but it came to cold with the cheese not melted. The apple drink was good but tasted thin, I was expecting a thicker drink based on apple cider, I guess. Overall, not one of my favorite lunches at Cafe Zupas but there's other food choices there that are rewarding.

Huge shoutout to Alex at Zupas in Buffalo Grove! Even though it was busy, he was so friendly, patient, and encouraged us to try as many soups as we wanted. When we accidentally ordered the wrong one, he replaced it with the right soup at no charge and was so kind about it. Awesome service—thanks, Alex! Also- we appreciate how kid friendly it is, and love the delicious food too!
