Zakes Cafe

Wide selection, very fresh! Welcoming environment and service.Flexible with substitutes,always congenial.Dessert is really great!

Our tennis team had a lovely celebratory lunch today at Zake's and everything about it was wonderful. The service was friendly and fast (I had to leave early and they brought out my soup first and the food came out very quickly thereafter). Between us we had the chicken mushroom rice soup, Reuben, BLT, Southern BLT, chicken salad sandwich - and everything came with a side of salad and potato salad (which was delicious). The place is cute with pretty glass designs on the windows and bright light airy rooms. The only downside is the place is not super handicap accessible - our friend on crutches had to hop up and down 5+ steps (there is a ramp, but the ramp leads to a few stairs to get into the restaurant).

Zakes was not what I expected. It was better than what I expected. There was a long line to get in on a Saturday, however, they turn over tables like hot cakes. We were seated within 5-6 minutes and were served fast too. They have all your great brunch items and then some. Don't forget your dessert! What we snagged:-Breakfast Burrito (Filled with egg...was a little cold on the inside)-House Benedict (Flavorful, but again...cold. The toast served with it was kinda stale.)What was great was their home fries. Crispy and warm. Well def be back, but maybe not on a wild weekend? Seems like they prep a lot of items, keep them warm-ish, and serve.

Wonderful place. Very accommodating and the food's terrific. So's the service. Great place for breakfast, lunch and brunch.

This place was very good. This was our first time coming here. We had a very short wait which was a welcome surprise since it was a Saturday around noon. My son had the red velvet pancakes and liked it (he said 4/5). I had the braised beef Benedict and it was awesome. Great flavor and eggs were poached perfectly. Service was definitely 100%. Never waited for anything. You can tell all the people working here care. I highly recommend this place for a great brunch. I will be back for sure!!

A cute little breakfast spot. It gets crowded so plan ahead. The food was good- we got omelette, sides of potatoes and fruit, eggs Benny, and a breakfast burrito. Solid breakfast choices. Fruit and breakfast potatoes are add on- nobody ever finishes their potatoes so we only got two orders to share, and it was more than enough. The thick cut toast was good too. The place is definitely tight inside but it's bustling and the atmosphere is lively. I wished the coffee refills came a bit more frequently, we had to flag down a server for a refill, but otherwise they were attentive and friendly.

I was heading to Philadelphia, and I found this cafe on Yelp. The building looked cute and had pretty good reviews was excited to try. Pulled up very cute place and plenty of parking, when you walk in you are seated and given menu.I asked for an ice coffee. However, I was told they have no flavor creamer or flavor syrup. I thought that was odd they offered nothing. We still decided for $3.50 to get an ice coffee. The coffee was okay. I just had suagr and creamer in it. My boyfriend decided to get the chocolate chip pancakes for $11, and I got the side of smoked chicken apple sausage for $4.50. As you can see from the photos we got what is frozen pancakes with some chocolate chips on top...I couldn't believe they charged $11 bucks for that, the only thing that saved it was the side of caramel sauce that was served with it. My sasuage was good but to only get one sasuage just split in half then half again and trying to say is 2. I probably would not stop back if we did would try something different.

Heading home to Boston, we were looking for a yummy breakfast to add some happiness to our journey. We found it at Zakes Cafe.Zakes is a converted home, and it was busy on a Saturday morning, but we were able to get a table for two. We were presented with a menu that offered lots of choices, as well as a page filled with specials. We selected an omelette (swiss cheese, tomato, caramelized onions) and the House Benedict (two poached eggs atop home cured salmon). Both choices were perfect - the omelette was fluffy, cheesy, and fully stuffed.Zakes extensive menu includes vegetarian and vegan choices, and they will make gluten-free pancakes. This cafe also has a collection of delicious looking desserts, highly rated by others, but our breakfast was filling and we couldn't eat another bite.Service was quick and efficient, and we were back on the road in no time. This is an easy, convenient stop for anyone traveling along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, just a couple of blocks from the Fort Washington Interchange (Exit 339). If you are passing by, hop off the Turnpike for some culinary happiness!

Went for Father's Day breakfast. Atmosphere is good.Hashbrowns were not hot. Toast was not even warm and was served with very chilled butter. Omelette was great. Service was attentive. On the pricey side.

Low key efficient service. Menu has great variety for both breakfast and & lunch appetites. Omelets are standouts. Their walk-in bakery has individual slices so you can select one or more! Home-like atmosphere--try to sit in the porch, if possible.
