Zinnia

I went here for a Sunday morning brunch date right when they opened at 10am. It was a lovely sunny day, so we chose to sit in the outdoor garden area (which is GORGEOUS). There was a yoga classes finishing up on the grass, which immediately set the tone.The menu isn't enormous and things are on the pricier side, the average breakfast item price is about $18 (cheapest is avo toast at $12 and most expensive is crab cake tartine at $25). BUT... everything looked and sounded delicious. I got the zinnia benedict with duck confit and every bite was scrumptious. I also appreciated their mocktail options. I tried both the rosa de jamaica and ginger kombucha and greatly enjoyed them Our waitress was a greatress. She checked in on us often enough and quickly refilled our water whenever we were out without making us feel pressured to order quickly. We soaked up the chill vibes and took our time without issue. There was no rush once we were done eating either. We spent about 2 relaxing hours there.I will absolutely go back.

Very cool space, fantastic menu, great food, good service (but like, oddly standoffish sometimes?) -- overall a very solid Silver Spring Dining Experience™ and a pleasant walk from DTSS.If you can, eat off the bar menu, it's always got something interesting on it.

I really like Zinnia! I came with 3 friends and we were seated on time. One of my friends ordered tea and it came in a cute little tea press. I wanted to order the crab cake tartine but they were out. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with avocado instead. It was pretty good, but I do wish there was a bit more savory/smokiness involved- maybe some sauce or pickled onions? One of my friends got the shakshuka and really enjoyed it. The presentation was great! My other friends got the Colesville Cobb and the Mediterranean bowl and they both said they liked their food too. One got the blueberry muffin as well and she said it was one of the best she's had.The restaurant has not changed the aesthetic since Mrs K's, which I appreciate. It is a wonderful blend of the old and new/fresh tame. High tea had started on the other side of the restaurant and we look forward to coming back for that.

I had dinner last night at Zinnia for the first time and it was a wonderful experience! The venue is just beautiful, and it brought back a lot of memories for me as my family used to visit this place when it was Mrs. K's tollhouse.The food was absolutely delicious! We started with the corn and crab dip served with sourdough bread, it was really good. I had the blackened catfish which had a crawfish etouffe sauce on it, so good! My dining partner had the short rib, which was also delicious! After dinner, we went downstairs to the tavern for an after dinner drink. Really cool space, if you go to Zinnia you have to check it out. In addition to the delicious food, the service was top-notch. Our server, Viviana, was great! She was very friendly and very attentive. I also talked to the general manager, Aiden, and he was great too.I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Cute brunch spot--pretty chill and great for both dates and group outings. The coffee and brunch menu is perfect. I love the aesthetic of the place, and the customer service is fantastic.

ServiceZinnia is our go-to spot for happy hour, and the staff never disappoints. The bartenders are friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere each time we visit.TasteThe food here is consistently delicious! Our favorites are the eggplant rolls and the pimento cheese, both of which are must-tries. Oh and the mussels are yummy!!The flavors are on point, and the portions are just right. Their cocktail and wine offerings are equally impressive and reasonably priced.AmbianceThe ambiance is a major highlight, especially in the summer when outdoor seating is available. During the fall, the fireplaces add a cozy and charming touch. Whether you're indoors or outside, the setting is perfect for relaxing with friends.RecommendationIf you're in the area, Zinnia is the perfect spot for an affordable and enjoyable happy hour. Great food, drinks, and atmosphere make it a standout choice year-round!

This restaurant checks the boxes for every meal! I've been here for weekend brunch, weekday lunch, and dinner. Brunch was probably my favorite. They have solid vegetarian options for each meal, like the mediterranean bowl and the sweet potato gnocchi. They make great drinks, and I especially love the chai tea. At dinner, the appetizers are not large portions, so I'd recommend getting a few. The ambience is elevated without feeling too formal, so it's a good place to bring parents, in-laws, or coworkers. Just make sure to get a reservation because the place fills up!

I can honestly say my wife and I come here a lot, but their service and atmosphere is all too good. I appreciate this group's service so much. Each staff member makes you feel appreciated and welcomed. We love to sit outside in the garden. Depending on the time of the day, they have both waiter and QR code. Good for both atmosphere and food. They have great craft cocktails and their coffee in the morning is great as well. Good for both an evening and morning hang.The outdoor garden is the selling point!

I love this place. It's perfect for spring and summer when it's not too hot. It used to be Mrs. K's Tollhouse, which I had heard so so much about, but never got to visit before the change. This place has many functions -- it has multiple bars, multiple levels, afternoon tea, cafe food during the day, a dinner menu at night, an outdoor courtyard area with so much greenery, gazebo, and bridges out of a movie.I have had lunch there a handful of times -- including pastries, salad, tacos, and more. I have always enjoyed what I got. Working on a laptop is always pleasant, too. I need to try their dinner menu and their afternoon tea -- it sounds like such a fun time! I will be back in the near future for sure.

Such an amazing spot! 6 of us went recently for afternoon tea and it was so worth it! The afternoon tea is $60 per person with a required deposit upon making the reservation. The seating is limited so be sure to reserve as soon as possible. They offer one tea person and a variety of different sweet and savory bites. We all got different tea options and each one was so good! My favorite was the cherry blossom. They also offer the option to add spirits if that's what you're looking for. My favorite bite was also the curry chicken salad. They also provide alternatives if you have allergies or intolerances. Our server was also amazing at making sure that we all received the right orders as one of my friends had an allergy. They also have an outside area that you can visit if you plan on staying longer and they have a beautiful garden you can walk by. There are plenty of spots for photos as well! Plan a visit soon!
