What’s vegan at Cafe Zupas?
1. Salads
The Nuts About Berries salad can be made vegan. This salad features mixed greens, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. It’s tossed in a poppyseed dressing. Hold the almonds because they’re made with butter.
You can also make the Mangoberry salad vegan by swapping the mango yogurt for the poppyseed dressing. It’s basically the same as the Nuts and Berries salad, but it’s got mango.
2. Soups
The vegan soup at Cafe Zupas is its chickpea and veggie soup with broccolini, celery, leeks, tomato and yellow onion.
3. Bowls
When it comes to bowls, you can make the Asian steak and quinoa bowl vegan Simply swap the steak for tofu. The bowl includes baby butter lettuce, quinoa, broccolini, peppers, cucumbers, cashews and a Thai basil vinaigrette and Thai peanut sauce.
My personal favorite is the Thai Coconut Tofu Bowl packed with so much good stuff like organic grilled coconut tofu, Peruvian quinoa, kale, broccolini, edamame, cashews, miso dressing and so much more, all smothered in a spicy peanut sauce. Oh yeah, it’s good. And massive; there was no finishing of this bowl.
4. Sandwiches
If you want a sandwich, order the veggie sandwich and hold the cheese and pesto spread.
5. Dressings
There are a handful of vegan dressings to choose from at Cafe Zupas. Vegan options at Cafe Zupas are vinaigrettes (fresh herb, sherry, strawberry champagne and Thai basil). In addition, the poppyseed dressing is also vegan.
As for dessert, sorry loves. They’ve got nothing vegan on the dessert menu.
