Cafe Zupas has quietly slipped into the McKinney lunch lineup, opening this spring on West University Drive with a menu built around made-to-order salads, protein bowls, soups and sandwiches. Staff at the new spot say service started in late March at 4004 W. University Drive, where the restaurant now offers a drive-thru, delivery and catering. For nearby offices and families, it is one more fast-casual option for a quick lunch or takeout dinner along the busy corridor.
Employees at the McKinney store confirmed the opening, and Community Impact reports that protein bowls on the menu include the hot honey cottage cheese bowl and the Southwest avocado bowl, alongside salads such as the California Cobb. The outlet notes that soups range from lobster bisque to tomato basil, with desserts like a chocolate strawberry cup rounding things out. Community Impact also points out that the McKinney location plugs into a chain that now has more than 75 restaurants across eight states.
Menu, customization and ordering
The company’s online menu leans into customizable bowls, house-made soups and sandwiches, plus rotating seasonal specials. Catering and online ordering are pitched to nearby offices and event planners looking to feed groups without much fuss. The McKinney store’s listing on Café Zupas highlights the drive-thru and delivery options and calls out the brand’s signature sides and desserts. Many entrées are framed as protein-forward, aimed at both fitness-minded diners and families trying to grab something filling on a tight schedule.
Where it sits on University Drive
The new Café Zupas occupies a commercial pad at 4004 W. University Drive, an address that the city’s 2025 Annual Development Report lists among recent retail buildouts along the corridor. The report is available through the City of McKinney. Permit filings in 2025 documented work on the restaurant finish-out at the site, underscoring the steady stream of new retail and dining options on this stretch of University. With offices and neighborhoods in every direction, the placement is tailored to catch weekday lunch crowds and early evening takeout runs.
Ordering and takeaway
Delivery and catering platforms already list the McKinney Café Zupas location, so customers can order pickup, delivery or larger catering spreads without much advance notice. Services such as ezCater show the new store in their local options. Between the drive-thru window and online ordering, the restaurant is clearly set up for commuters and families who want something relatively quick and protein-heavy.
Menus and hours are posted on the restaurant’s website, and the McKinney address is 4004 W. University Drive. We will keep an eye out for any formal grand-opening events or promotions and update coverage if the company rolls out more details.
