Soup Guy Cafe

I've been looking forward to The Soup Guy, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the expectations. The sandwiches were ok, and the soup (Jozef's Chicken Paprikash Slovak Soup) was lacking in flavor. The best part was the chocolate chip cookie. I would definitely recommend having one, or two. The decor and atmosphere are nice and cozy. I might come back to try different soups. Maybe they were having an off day, but if your The Soup Guy then everyday should be great soup day 🤷🏽‍♂️

I don't get it. $30 for two small soups, two grilled cheese sandwiches, and two waters. I was looking forward to trying their soup, but the ones we ordered (tomato pesto, french onion) tasted like what you'd make at home when you're completely phoning it in. Bouillon cubes in boiling water, chopped veggies, heat. The onions in the french onion soup weren't even caramelized. You can get good soup almost anywhere and I really didn't expect mediocre soup at a dedicated soup place. We asked them to give the grilled cheese sandwiches a little more grilling, which they did after we declined their offer to microwave them instead, but there wasn't much improvement.

I must say that I was disappointed, all the great reviews written I really thought it would have been better. I got a chicken noodle, had to play it safe the first time. I was completely disappointed, the celery was all I could taste, however when I did manage to get a bite with chicken, it tasted good, but very far from fantastic.

It's a soup and sandwich place done right. There is not a huge menu, so they can concentrate on flavour and service, both of which was excellent. 6 or so soups and the same number of sandwiches, plus a few salad options are on offer. We tried two of the soups and both were a treat, with very deep, rich flavours. Overall a great lunch, with smiling, pleasant staff with a product to match. Will return when in Ottawa.

Been here twice now, and both times not disappointed. I had recently had oral surgery, and the staff immediately offered to puree my chosen soup… which made the experience feel even better(it was my first outing since the surgery)… Back to the food… it really lived up to the other reviews posted here… best soup in Ottawa! Cannot recommend this place enough…

It's soup, how good can it be, you ask? Really good! I'm not even a soup lover and I love this place. I've never been disappointed, the soup is always fresh and different every day. The non-soup items are a bit limited (grilled cheese, panini, etc) but the focus is the soup and it's well worth visiting.

My experience wasn't at the location, but through Skip The Dishes. What I had ordered wasn't available at that time, and they had called me to inform me of that. They sent over the closest possible thing (which was delicious; chicken noodle soup and a roast beef wrap) and added extras in there as an apology. No need to apologize, as everything was delicious! But the staff are amazing as well!

One of my favorite lunch time spots in the Glebe! Amazing variety of tasty homemade soups that are always changing, as well as delicious sandwiches and salads. The staff are always very friendly and the service is prompt. The owner has been there every time I have gone in, adding to the great service. I would/do recommend this place to anyone, will not disappoint!
