Soupa Cafe

Great service! Called to ensure I was aware one of their soups contained gluten. The attention to detail and consideration for their customers is amazing

I came in for a coffee and a breakfast wrap. Both were great. I've had soup from here before which was also good. As well as a sandwich for lunch which was customizable and very delicious.The girl working there was attentive, kind and quick! Thanks Sal!!!

We heard so many great things and were very eager to try out the newer Esquimalt location for our Friday night take out meal. The staff were amazing and friendly, and the restaurant smelled amazing at time of pickup.I tried the daily special, a 7 grain chicken soup, and my wife got the creamy mushroom. They both looked and smelled awesome, but after the first bite we were both really disappointed... all we could taste was salt. I've had canned soup with significantly less salt content. I was quite hungry, so despite this I finished it, but my wife could barely eat half. By the end of the night my joints felt swollen and my face was puffy, it was that salty.I'm glad that so many people enjoy their products, local businesses deserve that love, but unfortunately, we won't be going back.

We won a gift certificate and had never been here. We went in on a wet, cold day and had a bowl of chili and a bowl of chicken stew soup. They were both delicious, you can tell they were homemade. Very pleasant staff. A bit pricey but I think it's like that everywhere now. $13 for a bowl of soup/stew. We were very pleased overall.

Had dinner tonight at the new Esquimalt Rd location. Probably the best customer service I have ever had! Soups were phenomenal. The gentleman behind the counter let me try samples of the soups before I made my choice.They were out of the mulligatawny (sp?) so I tasted the African Peanut and the Creamy Mushroom. That mushroom soup was the best I have ever had. Unbelievably good food. Had the Turkey Bacon sandwich on gluten free bread which was delicious as well. They even wrap the bread before toasting to eliminate any cross-contamination (I am celiac). So glad I came here for dinner tonight!

Was recommended to go here and it was delicious. Food is fresh, healthy and tasty. They have great gluten free and vegetarian options and I think it's well priced. There was definitely a lineup during the lunch rush but their staff got through everyone quickly and efficiently. Would recommend.

Let's get to the point: this was the best breakfast bagel I've ever had. The food in this new little restaurant is exquisite, seemingly simple yet beautifully flavoured. As for options, there seem to be a humble yet varied menu of both classics and vegetarian options available, and the staff were more than willing to accommodate me when I mentioned an allergy. I wish I could show you a picture of what I chose, but I ate it too fast! But suffice to say, the breakfast egg'n'bacon bagel is well worth your time.The staff here are very friendly and helpful. They brought me my breakfast within short order, and checked up on me after to see how I was doing and to make sure i was enjoying myself. I was! The interior is clean and simple as well, nothing dramatic or overstated, although the table art is very fun to look at. Fairly spacious too. It's a bit like a diner, fresh and to the point, but much less greasy.In short, don't pass by this little place if you can help it. It's a little startup with a big heart, and it shows in the taste of what you eat.

I can't say enough AMAZING things about this place! I ordered through skip, had never heard of them and took a chance! I'm so happy I did! One of my new favourite places to add to my list! I order a lot of skip for my picky eater mom in long-term care and she LOVED everything from turkey, brie + spinach sandwich on rye to the coconut chicken soup and even the Cobb Salad! A great way to get her to eat her veggies!Thank you Soupa team and for double checking the receipt to make sure I had everything for my order! You will definitely hear from me again very soon! Through skip and hopefully in person sometime in the near future.Love the real turkey in the sandwich and Cobb salad! Best bacon I have ever had!I'm going to tell everyone to go here!

Oct 11th 2019 I am adding to my review because of yesterday's lunch .Ohh my gosh was the Been Bacon soup freaking delicious as well as the chili my wife had rounded off with a Bree and chicken sandwich .Was absolutely delicious as being fresh tasty and quick service .We absolutely love and adore Soupa Cafe as well as the owners the staff can't say enough about Carly so adorable and for a life as well as her partner in business and in life Avi who's love for life in this community shows through in their food and commitment to make every customer feel like a family member .Be fun fact you might not be aware of but they offer a Veterans and military discount . As a Veteran myself they have always been so respectful and so supportive of the fact that I served as well as every veteran that walks through the door and first responder . But seriously you have to try they're custom made soups and sandwiches to die for .Absolutely one of my most favorite places to get breakfast and or lunch as well as using there delivery service for catering meetings as well as home delivery .The food is of the freshest and local product prepared in front of you .Can't say enough about the staff and owners .A small business with a large heart .If you haven't tried them do yourself a favour and do .This is a side note onto my last review .Was there yesterday August 26th 2019 late morning picking up my coffee and decided while I was there to grab my lunch a sandwich to go .Decided on egg salad sandwich then we added bacon some Finley sliced onions finishing the prep for my lunch sandwich lol.Later on when I was finally able to have lunch I was floored by the pier perfection of simplicity , yes it was an egg salad sandwich but the fact that the bread was fantastic just the right snap to the bite , strong enough to withstand having egg salad on it for a couple hours to I could retrieve it from our fridge , the egg salad itself was plentiful and flavorful the add on of bacon and thinly sliced onions buy request of onion I say this because if you want thick they will do that as well .It was just a really good sandwich a simple sandwich that made my day .If you haven't eaten here why not . Trust me they will not let you down .

I visited for the first time downtown as I was looking for a soup place. I had the veg chilli and it tasted better than I expected. They offer toppings for your soup which I liked a lot. The bread that came with it was good and moist. I also picked up a vegan brownie which was yummy. I found the price very reasonable. The staff were super friendly. I'd definitely return.
