Although there are many, we will only explore 7. I hope to shed light on each stereotype so you can see why we do not include certain stereotypes as well as other ones that you may not be aware of.
Zoes Kitchen is a franchise that specializes in healthy, convenient, and affordable food. However, just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean that it should be stereotyped as vegetarian food. Although this meal delivery service does offer vegetarian dishes such as fried tofu and baked salmon, they also offer meat dishes such as roasted chicken and country fried steak. Although this is important to note, many people assume that if you order from Zoes Kitchen you will only receive meals that contain no meat.

6. Zoes Kitchen is just for college students.
Since Zoes is on campus, there has always been the misconception that it serves students exclusively because it doesn’t allow anyone outside of the university community to enter their establishment. There is no such thing as a Zoes Kitchen VIP. Any student can enter their store and order any meal they want. They also serve students in their classes as well. This is false however since there are many people who frequent their restaurants daily for lunch and dinner.
7. Zoes Kitchen only has vegetarian meals.

Zoes offers a large selection of meatless dishes, with some of the most popular being fried tofu and baked salmon, but they also have many other meat free dishes such as chicken, country fried steak , and chicken quesadillas .Although this may be hard to believe at times, don’t be fooled by the small number of vegetarians in your household because you’re more likely eating vegetarian meals than non-vegetarian meals.
