Zinc Café & Bar

Food was great I took advantage of the Dine in La menu Service was good young guy was very helpful and answered questions that I had Patio outside sitting in the back was nice shade music chill vibes

Zinc Cafe always delivers quality food, some of the dishes have become more hit or miss I feel. However, the service is still great since they switched back to table side waiters, and the ambiance is lovely as always. I would definitely skip the gluten crust unless you absolutely can't have gluten. I really enjoy the grain bowl, and the Quattro grilled cheese sandwich is a guilty delight, haha.Food: 4.5/5Service: 4/5Ambiance: 4.5/5Value: 4/5Overall: 4.25/5

Zinc is a great brunch spot, we walked in on a Saturday and there was no wait. The inside is huge and the outdoor seating is as well. We opted to eat outside, where you can sit surrounded by trees and plants and birds.The service was a 6/10. Slightly over average, didn't leave an impression. The table we were seated at was not cleaned from the prior visitors and we did not have silverware for awhile.The chilaquiles bowl was delicious, the green chile salsa was perfect- tangy and flavorful.The mimosa-very strong!I would come back again for the ambiance and the food.

Superb time! Came to celebrate a birthday for a friend and our hostess Shakira was so kind. She even offered us preference for the best seating in the restaurant, thank you!To start their drinks were great, I love when my espresso martini comes with some foam and topped with beans! The retox detox was good as well and my friend enjoyed their mango mule. I ordered the bacon Gruyère omelet and it was perfectly fluffy. It came with a side salad. Everyone at the table enjoyed their good with solid ample portions. Our waiter (I'm sorry forgot his name) but he was great! A great spot to come with some friends or on a date, it's a beautiful spot with great food and service all around!

We came back to Zinc for their happy hour on a Friday afternoon. The place wasn't too busy, and the service at the bar was fantastic.We tried a cup of the daily soup special, which was lentils with chickpeas--simple and pleasant. We also had their perfectly crispy French fries with truffle salt, which were delicious. For drinks, we sampled three cocktails: the rosemary mojito, the Zinc mezcal margarita, and the mango mule with mango pulp. All were well-balanced and not overly sweet, but the mezcal margarita and mango mule were the standouts. The mojito, while refreshing, was a bit light in flavor compared to the others.Overall, it was another great experience, and we highly recommend Zinc for happy hour.

Ambiance: it's located in art district of downtown, cafe style vibes, spacious inside and cozy outside patio, street parking or public parking garage nearby Service: very friendly and efficient, they ran out something ordered and acknowledged right awayFood: they've recently changed their menu, no longer just vegetarian and some items have been replaced SOUP DU JOUR - *** daily soup of fennel vegetables, served with garlic toast, average taste SHRIMP TACOS - *** shrimp, cilantro lime cabbage, avocado, pico de gallo, queso fresco, chipotle aioli served with brown rice and black beans, good flavors, however, overcooked shrimp but undercooked ricePrice: moderate portions and reasonable prices, expect about $25+ per person

Went here for brunch and really liked it. The staff was super nice and the food was good. We got a sandwich i think was called the zinc club but it honestly tasted like something i can make at home. But the thai salad was reallyyyyy good. I recommend that one. We added chicken to it and it was good too

Best hostess ever! 6 stars. I forgot to ask for her name, but the hostess who worked Sunday 11/3 around 1pm, is amazing!!! We were a party of 3 adults, 1 baby in stroller and 1 dog. The garden patio was full and with dog and stroller, we needed a bit space. The hostess seated us on the front patio, and brought water for the dog, without us having to ask.. My friend was a bit bummed about the front patio because the garden patio is super cute, but we understood why. About 15min after we were seated, the hostess came back. She had rearranged a couple tables in the back, after people left, so that we would have space for stroller and dog. I did not expect it. We would have had a fine brunch. But the hostess went above and beyond creating an awesome experience for us. Overall, the staff was really friendly and inviting.The food is also good. 4 stars. We ordered chilaquiles, chipotle chicken sandwich with fries and California chicken sandwich with green salad. All very flavorful and well seasoned. Ambiance 4 stars.

A spacious indoor/outdoor cafe with tons of seating and garden space, great for a sunny LA day. We ordered the Grain Bowl which was healthy and exactly as expected, just could have used a bit more of a flavorful sauce. We also got the stuffed French Toast which was excellent, for those on their cheat day.

Delicious!!! Their shoe string fries were sooo good, super thin and crispy, just how I like it. The french toast and avocado toast were also super yummy. The avocado toast came with fat dollops of avocado and the french toast was topped with a variety of fresh fruits. Lots that the french toast wasn't overwhelmingly sweet.
