“ Great place with amazing food and service. Every bite is loaded with flavour. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous and will fill you up. Just delicious. Wish you were in KW area. ”

Andreas Hartung

(5/5)

“ Cozy place with a long list of soup and sandwich choices. A rare place with almost 8 soup options. Soups were delicious and come with toppings and sides. The soups came in 3 sizes ranging from 6-10 dollars. Sandwiches were between 4-6 dollars for a half sandwich. The prices are a little high but the food was delicious. Would recommend stopping by. ”

“ I cant remember what the name of this soup was... tortellini tomato soup?? With a side of grilled cheese. Oh man.. you guys, this soup combined with the grilled cheese will make your eyes roll to the back of your head. It’s so damn good. I would drive all the way back there just to have it again. Well done burnt tongue well done. The flavours were so great together and it wasn’t too tart or sweet or salty.. it was just right in every way possible. I actually left then went back to buy some to take home to #toronto but they ran out in the half hour that passed!! Must be a patron favourite? Definitely a stop on the way to Niagara Falls from now on for me! ”

“ The BEST soup; especially for this blustery fall season. Great variety. The staff are super friendly and instantly made us feel welcome. I love the simple store set up (not fancy, but clean and down to earth). Service was fast. Fries, perfectly made, massive portion and shared among the three of us. The kale salad also looked yummy. I may try that next. ”

“ Loved the whole vibe! Didn't burn out tongues lol the coup was awesome, wasn't kidding about it being creamy. Grilled cheese was also a classic but didn't get a picture of it. Nailed it though, super crispy. ”

Derek Wong

“ I was hesitant about this place at first but still decided to give it a try. We ordered the Moroccan soup and the peanut chicken soup and it was absolutely incredible! Both soups had their distinct flavours which was simply amazing. The french oinion grilled cheese was a great pairing with both soups. ... ”

Krystal Sammy

“ We had the French Onion Sandwich with an order of regular fries. The sandwich was delicious! Loved the caramelized onions and cheese. The fries were plentiful. I thought we had made a mistake and ordered a large instead of a regular, the serving of fries was so large. The restaurant seemed well taken care of. The bulletin board displayed art created by the staff. Recommended! ”

Charles Walker

(5/5)

“ It was souper! Pun intended. So glad this place was recommended; my two favourite things! But honestly, the soups were all so full flavoured yet not something you get sick of. And they let you try samples before you order. The fries are crisped to perfection! The loaded fries are a lot, so tuck in if you get a big bowl and loaded fries; us grown guys struggled near the end. Very friendly and helpful staff. Not a lot of seating room but we luckily got 4 seats together. Next time I’m in town, I’m going again. Gotta sample some other soups. ”
