Ordered ham and cheese croissant with two eggs (paid extra), and an orange juice. Received a ham and cheese croissant with no eggs and a lemonade. Pathetic

I came here on a Saturday morning around 11am and there was plenty of place to sit. There is no formal parking lot so you have to find street parking. There are no tables inside but there are umbrellas outside to sit in the shade. I ordered the hazelnut latte with almond milk and the meatless sandwich on ciabatta. The latte was made immediately and was extremely good. It wasn't too sweet and the hazelnut flavor was delicious. The sandwich had a bit too much pesto which made the bread really soft. In the future, I would definitely ask for less pesto but overall a good sandwich. The food came out pretty slow considering my friends and I were the only ones there but at the time I think there were only 2 people working. The overall meal + drink cost about $20. I would definitely come here again, these are the kinds of sandwiches you'd take with you for a lovely picnic.

That is a good turkey pesto sandwich. Fresh veggies, good bread, solid lemonade and coffee on the side. Nice little local joint. Great service.

This little place has DELICIOUS food! My friend and I both had the delightful dolmas. Mmmmm! I had the caprese salad (the two pieces of bread were a nice addition to the roasted red bell peppers, olives, mozzarella, and tomato slices in olive oil and vinegar) and she had a Mediterranean salad with hummus and pita pieces. She told me the paprika on the hummus had quite the kick (hot spicy isn't my jam...) and was yummy. I had an Italian soda and she had iced tea. They brought our food to the table after we ordered at the window. They also made sure we had a full carafe of water so we didn't go without H20! The vibe of the dude at the window and the server guy were chill, friendly, helpful. Their little patio area had enough shade to feel cool on a warm day. The table was a bit sticky and the seating is metal chairs, so not very comfy. But the food... FABULOUS!

Sandwiches to die for. We've been eyeing Zing Cafe for the past couple months and finally found the time to visit South Berkeley for brunch. Great food, service, and atmosphere-- This is the epitome of local eats!For COVID safety purposes, all staff/patrons must wear masks, and all available seating is outdoors. Side street parking only (bit of a sketchy area). Employees are extremely friendly, but maybe understaffed. We saw maybe 2 workers during a slow Sunday afternoon, and our 3 sandwiches still took around 40 mins. Fortunately we were glad to soak in the sun, surrounded by the cafe's decorative plants.CHICKEN RANCH: PERFECTLY. TOASTED. BREAD. Fresh veg, savory meats, great sauce-to-filling ratio. Their chicken is grilled and seasoned just right. Relieved that the wait was worth it! Something to note: I think their location is near... A wasp nest or something? A little distracting to eat a sandwich when there are 2-3 wasps constantly hovering over your food (one, to our sheer terror, even landing on me and refusing to budge). I also didn't see anyone wiping the tables down between guests-- again, probably understaffed. Can only hope that this is an anomaly, otherwise would definitely come back.

I was looking to grab a quick lunch. I went at 1pm, not too busy and plenty of outdoor seating with shade and indoor seating. It's pretty fast with a walk up counter. Although the cloves were a little strong, I appreciated that he iced chai didn't taste like a pre-made box/powder mix.

First off I don't leave reviews so this is a lot for me. The two stars is only for how pretty the exterior building was and that there was only one person working so I'm sure he was trying his best. That being said, I won't be returning. I ordered it took quite some time considering he made someone else's order before mine. My drink was truly awful and I can't drink it and the bread for my sandwich was so stale. Typically I finish what I've gotten regardless but this meal was truly offensive as a customer. I just ate the inside since it was my only breakfast. I really wish I could get a refund since the meal cost me a bit. Like I said staff is nice but he looked stressed being alone.

good service and presentation. owner is a lovely guy to talk to. food was average to above average for location. it is a lobby coffee shop for the tenants so little to no outside foot traffic unless you happen o walk on Adeline.
