Zen and Ginger Cafe

I came by here a few months ago to try out their boba. Needless to say, I was left disappointed. I ordered the brown sugar and it was super sweet with little amount of tea. I really wanted to like this place since it is near by but after two tries, I don't think I will return.

Great little place off CR210. Banh Mi sandwich was excellent. They have Pho on weekends. They also have calamari, dumplings. I wouldn't know a boba if it fell on me but i enjoyed everything i ordered.

I popped in to this cute little cafe on my way through town and was pleasantly surprised! The menu was very interesting with a few different options for sandwiches and small plates, plus coffees and milk tea bobas!I got a cappuccino and a grilled chicken bahn mi - both were delicious. The bahn mi was very spicy (jalapeño) but had good flavor. The space is small and has some really fun decor - you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. I had my laptop and spent about an hour working (yay WiFi) and enjoying my treats. Come on by and see for yourself!

Soooooo slow to make a coffeeI've been back a few times as it taste great but v slow

Let me give you a disclaimer, I'm not the biggest fan of boba. I'm more of a coffee person, not tea, but in the new year I decided to give it another go, why? Because I like to keep an open mind.Zen and Ginger is a new cafe that opened in St. Johns. It's located in a new shopping strip, that has a hair salon, kids boutique, Italian restaurant, and more.I popped into the plaza and noticed that the location had ample parking. There was still quite a bit of construction going on, as there are new storefronts going in this plaza. I parked at the front of Zen and Ginger and walked in.I was greeted, and noticed a modern vibe, with an awesome panda mural on one side of the cafe. They have everything from coffee to tea, to boba and they have snacks and appetizers.While I didn't get any food this time around, I'm eager to come back and try their Taiwanese popcorn chicken. This particular visit I ordered a regular, half sugar brown sugar milk tea with regular boba.The girl who assisted me made my drink pretty quickly and was friendly.There were a few tables, tons of light, and all around nice vibe here. I can see myself coming here (after Covid) to sit and do work at the cafe.The boba was good, not too tea forward, which I don't really care for LOL, the brown sugar was sweet, but not too sweet. I'm glad I didn't get full sugar. I'm still on the fence about boba, but this particular trip may have won me over. Pros:-Beautiful new location-Friendly staff-Tons of drink options-Has light snacks and pastries available for purchaseCons:-My dislike of teaTips: Check out this new business, it's worth a go

I tried their Winter Melon Fruit Tea. It's loaded with sugar!! Expect it to be very very sweet. Egg rolls are nice and crispy outside but the inside seems not to be warm considering it was fried. And I tried the Grilled Pork Banh Mi. The bread was a little tough to bite on. It doesn't get prepared toasted like some Vietnamese restaurants do. Probably next time, I will give it a try again and request less sugar for the drink and toast the bread for the banh mi. Overall, it's average. But thankful there's an Asian restaurant close by.

So delish! We stopped by for their coffee of the day and grilled pork sandwich. Derick and Sakeena really have a great venue here. The coffee was freshly ground. What a wonderful sandwich. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft inside. This is really a great start to the sandwich. The pork was tender, greens and veggies, fresh. Oh so good.Very nice menu with a great mix of beverages and food.

My coworkers and I went out to try this zen and ginger today. It's a cute little little place in this plaza with plenty of parking. I ordered the matcha green milk tea with lychee jelly, spicy Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and fried dumplings. My coworkers ordered the steam dumplings, eggrolls, banh mi, fries, calamari, and skewers. The spicy Tawainese popcorn chicken was delicious. Packed with spices and many flavors. The fried dumplings were amazing! So good with the sweet and sour sauce. My coworkers loved what they got as well and ate everything! I was able to try all the food, and man, chefs kiss. The green tea matcha milk tea with lychee jelly was spot on! It was very refreshing! Not too sweet and not too bland. It was just right. As for dessert we got the honeydew and honey milk sponge cake. Both were good!Overall, I highly recommend this place. Their milk tea and appetizers/food are bomb!! 10/10!

I had this cafe saved on my to-try list for a while. I was able to visit here before a Sunday Funday with my mom and son in Fruit Cove. I walked in and noticed how pretty the interior was, complete with a green wall and neon angel wings for a quick photo op. I was able to glance at the menu before ordering. They have coffee, tea, boba, specialty drinks, and food. I ordered the coconut milk tea without boba for my mom and the Vietnamese iced coffee for myself. It was around $14 for a small and large drink. There were a few people in the cafe and one order ahead of me, so I looked at the Squishanimals and products available for purchase. They made my order quickly and with precision. We took our drinks to Alpine Groves Park and drank them while walking around. They tasted delicious , and the Vietnamese coffee wasn't too strong. I'm sure we will be back soon!

What a great find!! Visiting family and was resigned to a week without good coffee or Asian food. I am so thrilled to find this place. Gourmet coffee, classic bubble tea, and Vietnamese favorites like banh mi and pho. Highly recommend!!!
