Very disappointed. I bought soup and it was given to me lukewarm because they thought it was to go. I’ve never bought soup anywhere that served it cold because they thought you weren’t dining in! Nice of them to offer to microwave it for me. 🙄 I wanted a sandwich too. No bread! How does a sandwich shop run out of bread?? The soup was disappointing. The navy bead soup is full of meat but the flavor was bland! It took 2 packs of oyster crackers to give it flavor. Chicken and wild rice was even more bland. That took 3 packs of oyster crackers!
So to summarize, soup served cold and bland as hell that required lots of oyster crackers, no sandwiches because there’s no bread (WTF?), and no ice cream. It’s called Soup & Scoops and the soup sucks and there’s no scoops! So just ask for crackers. Probably the only thing they can’t screw up. Hard pass. I’m going to Panera Bread next time where the soup isn’t bland or served cold for carry-out or dine-in, and they don’t run completely out of bread!
Kid-friendliness: Nothing here that would interest a kid. If the soup sucks that much, then I have no confidence the sandwiches will be any better.

It’s hit or miss but the price is definitely up charged IMO. The first time I went here, I got a chicken pesto sandwich that was fresh and pretty freaking delicious. Wasn’t super happy about paying $16 for a sandwich that doesn’t include any chips or drink but it was good enough that I wasn’t too upset. The second time, I got the same thing but the bread was barely toasted, the chicken was gummy and it was just a sad quality overall. Probably won’t be trying this place out again.

Horrible customer service. I order two soups and only received one. I called about it and they were very unprofessional about it and told me to call Grubhub. I called back and he said that they didn't actually have that soup, but they didn't bother to call me about a substitute. I had to order from somewhere else to complete my meal for me and son. Never going back.

Expectations / Reality. I do not recommend. This is a regular sandwich that you can make at home, but not for $20.

Good soup but the hours are listed wrong. They stop selling food at 4:30 which was a major disappointment. They refused to sell soup after 4:30 despite advertising 5:00.

Highly suggested! My mom has a strict diet, and she can just eat soups. She loved it! Every single soup is so tasty and fresh. I definitely suggest it. The price are reasonable, and the customer service is excellent. I am looking forward to come back every time I visit Chicago.
I love this place and take my kids here for ice cream regularly, and it's so cute that they have so many topping options. I have not had a bad soup from here, the lasagna soup is a favorite of mine. Greek salad and vinaigrette is perfect. The chicken salad from here is probably the best I've ever had. The coffee is good and strong and they have flavored syrup options. The ladies working here are great. This place is such a gem?

I ordered online to pick up my food and when I went to soups and scoops it was closed. Even though my order was confirmed for pick up… I wasted my lunch break for nothing and they charged my card

Love this place. Quite a variety of daily soups (8ish) to choose from. Choice also of refrigerated, day old soups at reduced price for taking home. Very reasonably priced for homemade soup that come in varying sizes. Nice selection of sandwiches and salads. My only complaint is that many of the cream soups tend on the salty side. A couple of small tables for eating in, if necessary. (No bathroom facilities but have an agreement with a bar across the street.) Haven't tried the ice cream yet although very tempting.
Parking: Limited street parking that competes with other popular eateries nearby but based on time of day. Right across from train stop parking lot.

I have sampled three different soups and three different paninis and everything has been EXCELLENT! I can't wait for a dine in experience and some ice cream.
