What a great neighborhood spot to grab delicious food and drinks! The house coffee was also very good. Staff and the atmosphere was fantastic. Would highly recommend!

I really liked this place! I met my parents here to spend time with the kids. The kids activities were awesome. The adults were able to chat and socialize while the kids played. We all liked our sandwiches and drinks- my only criticism is that many things are premade and can't be customized. I'll definitely return next time I'm in town.

I heard good things about Zuzu and it's always busy when I want to go so I figure it's a sure thing. I went here on a winter weekday afternoon for lunch and it was pretty empty. Entered to deafening quiet. No greeting just workers making noise while doing their jobs. I came my wife and our 9 month old baby so we asked for a high chair which they had. It was filthy, layered with grime. I thought maybe it was because kids can be dirty ... Looked down at the table and it was the same. Every. Single. Table. I wiped it down with 5 sanitizing wipes and they ended up being brown. 🤮 Maybe the food is it's saving grace? It wasn't. It was sub-cafeteria quality food at not so cheap prices. The coffee was also watered down and didn't taste fresh. We left the place unsatisfied and smelling like burnt food because I don't think they own an exhaust fan. Honestly I'm not sure why this place get such high praise. Skip this place if you're coming from the zoo, you'll be better off eating at the zoo.

Great little cafe near the zoo. The paninis were crunchy and tasty and big enough for two meals. We ate outside in the first week of October and loved it. Staff were great, too. Also had the hummus plate, nice substitute for a salad. And service was very fast. Will definitely go back for some of the Mediterranean specialties.

Food was awesome! Decided to try this place because it was walking distance from the zoo, and really enjoyed their sandwiches. Sandwiches. Loved that they had a kids menu with a few choices as well, as we had a bunch of children with us. Got a few caffeinated drinks too which were very good.
