Review from Megan A.
Edmonton, AB
"Good food, no 'tude" is the motto of Leo and his father Frank Rizzuto. During the lunch rush Zuppa cafe could be redubbed Zoo-pa as Leo scrambles to assemble the best lunches in town. The local office crowd swarms in so expect a 15 minute wait between 12-1PM. Also note that Zuppa is cash only.
Locals love the wrap and salads that fill a small but satisfying permanent menu. A daily rotation of homemade soup, pasta, and baking specials keeps the menu lively. Serving sizes border epic and I constantly hear buzz about how good the prices are for organic and fair trade food!
Personal Faves:
-Vegetarian Wrap $7.50
-Mushroom Soup (Occasional Special) $3
My Next Visit:
-Cinnamon Bun French Toast w/ fruit $6.50 -

This is my go-to when I'm running late for work in the morning and just want to pick up a coffee and sandwich instead of making breakfast at home. The place is quiet whenever I go in (before 8am) so I've never experienced the wait times other posters are talking about. Staff is nice and service is fast. The food is good but ultimately nothing special.
I don't go out of my way to visit Zuppa, but I'd certainly miss it if it were gone. Perhaps I need to try their lunch menu to see what else they offer.. -

I HATE to say it, but my love affair with Zuppa's is over.
The place is under new ownership (or at least management), and they're now changing all the recipes up. My beloved, cinnamon & raisin, soft whole-wheat cinnamon bun is now white floured, hard, has no raisins and is covered in sickenly-sweet, odd-tasting cream cheese icing. All the other muffins are now covered & filled with extra sugar, making Zuppa's old (and welcome) approach to more natural flavors a thing of the past.
Lines are even slower than before (try a 30 min wait vs 15), and the new additions to the menu aren't much to write home about. These additions are also ridiculously expensive for what they are - a green salad that's JUST leafs for $6?? (they tell you there's cucumber and other green vegetables in it, but they're lying - they're using the mixed spring greens boxed stuff from Safeway, I could see it on the prep table & they aren't adding anything to it).
Goodbye beloved old Zuppas, hello new Zuppa's I'll only be going to in emergencies :(1 Previous Review: Show all »

My wife and I went here one Friday morning based on high web ratings. It was about 9:35 when we walked in, and my wife had to use the washroom. Looking at their wall menu, I noted that breakfast-ending time was "around 10am". I asked if they were still serving breakfast, and the counter attendant kind've waffled his shoulders, and said, "Sure." Three other people came in a group, and I let them go ahead of me until my wife rejoined me to order.
After they ordered, the attendant looked at me, and said, "Sorry, we're no longer serving breakfast." I thought he was joking. He assured me he wasn't - that the three breakfasts just ordered would take a long time to prepare, and that they needed the remaining time to clean up for lunch. He was polite, and the menu forewarned me this might happen - but it wasn't even 9:40! What happened to the customer is always right?
We still ordered a cinnamon bun each, and a coffee. The cinnamon bun was fine, the coffee was so-so. However, I am mostly upset at the lack of respect they showed new customers who were prepared to pay for breakfast, well within the posted breakfast period. -

I've recently returned here and it is just as great if I remember. Maybe even better now that I'm older and my taste buds have seen more then frozen foods and grilled cheeses ! They have the freshest ingredients and you're getting your bang for your buck here. The portions here are about 2/3 of my forearm just for the wrap! And then you get a side salad! Most wraps are under $9 so it's pretty nice to your wallet and you leave with a full belly. Every time I go I always want to try something different because I know it's going to be just as good but I always get sucked back to that smoked salmon wrap. Yum !! The side salads are so colorful and the vinaigrette they use goes perfect with the mandarin oranges and grapes that they used.
Very personable staff too, they're friendly and not afraid to learn your name ! But they've changed their payment options, cash only now !1 Previous Review: Show all »

Zuppa is a nice place that serves at all times of the day. I had never heard of it before and decided to check it out. We went at lunch time and it was fairly busy. So I assumed it was going to be a good experience.
It was suggested to me to try the smoked salmon wrap and I was surprised. It didn't sound appealing to me but it was very good. Everything here was fresh and delicious. We didn't have time for desert but they looked delicious and I want to go back just thinking about them.
I don't know why most people don't know about this place but it's worth a try! -

Zuppa is one of Edmonton's hidden gems. This small bistro/cafe just a few blocks away from the Legislature serves breakfast, lunch, and early dinner (on weekdays) that are prepared fresh to order, using fair trade and often local ingredients. The place has a very artsy, folksy atmosphere to it - and it fills up fast, especially around lunchtime. There are a variety of salad and pasta options as well as grilled sandwiches. Saturday is the big day here though, with breakfast served until 2:00 p.m. (when the place closes). Omelettes with three or four fillings served either normally or in a wrap, large bowls of porridge topped with fresh fruit, and french toast that is actually a ginormous cinnamon bun coated with egg and sweetness, served with real whipped cream and berry compote. Most of the breakfast items are also served with a scoop of fresh fruit salad. Another favorite is the whole wheat waffles, which are four mini-waffles served with whipped cream and berry compote (who needs maple syrup when you have all that??). Food is served cafeteria style - you get in line and pay for your food upfront, and if it is busy you may end up waiting a while, but trust me, it is worth it. The coffee is fresh and delicious, and there is a front display full of treats if you just want to stop in for an afternoon coffee break. Out of the way, but highly recommended.
