Whenever we come to SoCal, this is a staple stop for us. From the secret garden ambiance, delicious food and 5 star coffee! This is a must try!
Lovely place. They have a lot of very good healthy food here. But I got the breakfast burrito instead.. I would recommend this place for sure!
One of my favorite places in the area. Delicious, healthy vegan food for a great price and very friendly staff
Maple Brown Sugar is amazing!!! People were great and extremely helpful!!! Love the coffee’s and the presentation!!!
The food here is great. A bit pricey but has a little bit of everything. Would recommend trying this out if you are in the area.
You might miss this delicious food experience if you drive by too fast. Note that there's no sign alerting you to Zinc. We had to walk up and check the menu posted outside to see that it was the restaurant we wanted to try. Service was excellent. Staff were helpful and courteous. Food was tasty and the portions were substantial. We had the Caprese sandwich, bowl of chili, house salad, and the Reubanesque sandwich. The covered outside seating was comfortable. Be aware that the birds can be very friendly. Guard your food. I wish they sold the bread used for our sandwiches. We could tell that it was real bread!
Favorite breakfast spot in town, real fresh orange juice, great food, fruit salad has an orange zest as well as the butter(really nice touch) and the chai is amazing. Highly recommend!
I don't know why this is the first time I've reviewed Zinc Cafe & Market...as I have been enjoying their incredibly delicious foods and perfectly brewed coffees and teas for over a year now! Well today that changes. And what better meal to review than a Wednesday Brunch (of sorts) when there's no lineups nor long waits?!? I took 2 Deviled Eggs a la carte, just to take the edge off of my Low Bloodsugar, which always delight me. *(the eggs, not low bloodsugar) The Belgian Waffles are the lightest, most buttery and still crispy I have ever had...better than even I can make at home... I love quiche, and this one is just alright, nothing to write home about. Made fresh, with fresh ingredients...though perhaps semi lacking in flavor. But what do I know; I'm a smoker. She enjoyed my side greens salad, with black bean chili and toasted garlic bun. Everything, from the lack of waiting time, to friendliness as well as efficiency of service was great today. Indeed. What I liked the MOST, however was that my Mocha came out FIRST, before our meals, allowing me time to enjoy the first fresh sips as well as throughout my meal. That was Heaven to me and unfortunately seems like something my other *favorite brunch Café seems to have lost the ability to do. Zinc Cafe & Market is Always Spot On.
