Stop by here this morning for a quick bite with my wife as we do a weekly breakfast. It was a nice clean cozy place, and the young lady behind the register served us very politely in our everything bagel egg sandwich and drinks coffee drinks were excellent. (we especially like that they were served very hot)We will certainly come again and it was nice seeing the owner

Zing! Cafe is a charming little locally owned coffee shop and cafe in the Village of West Clay. I took my granddaughter for lunch mid-week on a perfect day to eat at one of their outside tables. The shop is tight inside and most tables were occupied during our visit with morning regulars. The menu offers lots of coffee and smoothie options, breakfast items and sandwiches. My granddaughter had the Kid's Grilled Cheese sandwich with assorted fruit. The sandwich was a half sandwich with generous melted cheese. The fresh fruit cup was beautiful and tasty. She was happy. I had the Tuna Melt Sandwich which was more of tuna salad and no melt on ciabatta. That was ok because I like tuna salad too. The salad had bits of cucumber in it. The sandwich came with a generous helping of pasta salad which had a slight spicy zing and was very good. I enjoyed my lunch. Our food came out quickly. The server as friendly and wiped the tables down outside so we could sit. I'd come back.

Got to experience Zing!Cafe for the first time.First of all, love the location of this cafe. Being located in the beautiful Village of West Clay really added to the experience . The cafe is small but cozy. They have a really good breakfast selection. I got the California inspired breakfast sandwich (egg whites, tomato, avocado and spinach) on a wheat English muffin. It was healthy but also filling. I ended up ordering one of their specialty lattes. They have their baristas create their own coffee each month which I thought was so fun. It happened to be that the one I had my eye on was created by the barista waiting on me. There were many on their list that sounded delicious. But I went with the blueberry flavored latte. It was not overly sweet which I think a lot of people would appreciate. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. And I would definitely go back for the breakfast options.

This is a cute neighborhood coffee shop in West Clay. The customer service is so personalized, they remember coffees and allergies for regular customers and the owners check on you and help with anything you need.I tried the Strawberry fields salad and cinnamon roll. Both were fresh, the croissant as a side for layered, flaky and tasty and cinnamon roll was huge, syrupy and delicious.The cafe was awarded the best neighborhood coffee shop and I think that's accurate with the lovely, homelike yet customized feel.There's ample street parking, lots of stores to shop at and lovely book stores to stop by. Love love the location and food!

My wife and I have spent the summer riding our bikes to different coffee shops around Carmel, Westfield and Noblesville. Today we rode to Zing. Cute little place in West Clay and fairly busy on a Sunday morning. Very friendly people and best of all very good coffee and reasonably priced. The outside seating was a little rough due to lack of shade but still a nice atmosphere to be outside. So far this is neck and neck with Rivet Coffee as our top places we've been to so far. We live on the East side so a bit of a ride to get here but very doable due to the bike path network in Carmel. Worth the trip and look forward to coming again.

Today was my first visit to Zing! Cafe and it will most definitely not be my last. This cozy cafe was filled with friends and families on a warm Saturday morning, yet they were still able to deliver fast (and delicious) service. I enjoyed the The Big Zing breakfast sandwich on gluten free bread, the turkey sausage was particularly delicious and I deeply appreciated the gluten free bread option. Along with my sandwich I enjoyed their seasonal iced latte flight featuring pistachio, blueberry muffin, love bug, and funnel cake flavors. I can't wait to go back and introduce friends to this lovely cafe, it was the perfect spot for brunch after a long walk through The Village.

Quiet little coffee and easy brunch cuisine corner in the heart of Zionsville suburbia, I found plenty of parking, good wifi, polite and extra friendly staff, and enjoyable well lit space. Prices seemed normal across a large menu mostly featuring foods and some coffee. I showed for coffee, noticed all lattes were made from pump bottles, decided on trying a hazelnut marshmallow and brown sugar fix. Forgot to bring in my own so was given the goods in traditional plastic, took a second for the flavors to get to know each other going from gross to rather nice, and I can say it's an overall rounded latte. Nothing fancy or award worthy, will not be challenging Commissary or Provider, it is the simple Starbucks alternative that does entirely better than burning low quality beans! There was a steady trickle over my two hours that Thursday, glad it never got extra busy and could work in the corner with an outlet at laptop reach while enjoying this refined and classically decorated space.

The breakfast sandwiches that my husband and I got for carryout were just OK. Perhaps it was because we got them to go that was the problem: By the time we unwrapped the sandwiches to eat them, they were a bit soggy and soft, as though they had been steaming in their wrappers. Maybe, if you eat there at the cafe, your sandwiches will taste better.I got the California Classic sandwich, which came with egg whites, spinach, tomato, sliced avocado and Swiss cheese, all on an English muffin. It looked to be one of the more health-conscious offerings on their menu, but it needed something to zhuzh it up a bit -- maybe more salt or pepper, or something. I see that they will put Sriracha on your sandwiches for an extra fee. Maybe I should have added hot sauce. My husband got an All American sandwich. Now, if we're talking about the coffee at Zing Cafe: The coffee here gets five stars. If you've read some of my past reviews about coffee (and I'm sure you have them all memorized), I drink my coffee black, so the coffee needs to be drinkable without anything in it. Zing's coffee is delicious and drinkable -- not too bitter and slightly nutty. You'll find a great cup of coffee here.

In town for an extended family visit, I found Zing when looking for a coffee place reasonably close their house. Even better, it was within walking distance so it fit in nicely with my morning routine of going for a walk first thing. The interior is cute and cozy with plenty of seating. The decor is sweet and understated. I had an oat milk latte and a muffin. The latte was a little light, meaning there was more foam than there should have been, but it was good. The muffin was moist and tasty. On another visit, I had a cold brew with toasted marshmallow syrup and milk. The coffee was good but nothing spectacular. Service was consistently good and quick. This is a family-owned place and, based on a conversation I overheard, the new owners just took over in March 2022. I hope to come back for lunch on another visit - the sandwiches look great!

I'm so glad I walked here this morning! Everyone was so kind to me. I was worried about bringing my dogs, so I called before and asked about if they had somewhere to keep them outside. One of the staff members of Zing told me he would take care of them for me and hold them outside while I ordered! I walked over, he met me at the door, and watched my pups. Not only is that outstanding service, but everyone else was extra kind while I was ordering as well. The croissant is buttery and moist, but not too wet. My iced latte (blueberry muffin latte) is made perfectly and is very refreshing. There is ample seating inside, maybe 6 or 7 tables, as well as some patio seating outside. Love this place!
