Reviews for Zinc Cafe & Market in Laguna Beach, CA
Cute Cafe with outdoor seating. Order inside before taking a seat. Ordered the chilaquiles bowl which sounded great, but the egg... was not poached, not soft boiled but more like hard boiled. Look at the photo, a poached egg should be runny. Because you orderat the counter and staff doesn't wait on you, nobody comes around to check to see how you're doing, if you like the food or ifthey can get you anything. Self serve water station.The atmosphere is nice, plenty of shade, nice background music butatmosphere can only carry you so far. Unfortunately, not sure I'll be back. So many other places to try in the area. Read more
Zinc is located in a nice quiet street away from the busy areas of Laguna, which makes it very relaxing if you're trying to get... away from the crowded streets around Forest Ave. At first I didnt think that the grain bowl looked that great but it tastedamazing! The moscow mule is solid. My boyfriend got a margherita pizza that was disappointing, it was delivered less than warmand the cheese was way too thick. However, the staff were absolutely excellent and allowed us to ask for something else for noadditional cost. The soup of the day was a fennel and leak soup, didn't sound like it would be great at first, but it wassuprisingly very good. We didn't order wine but it looks like there is a decent selection. Will be coming back to thisrestaurant! Read more

Where do I start with? Outstanding service or amazing food. This place is wonderful. They were so patient with our kids orders,... helpful with the spills, kind with requests, absolutely all-around wonderful service. The food matched the service withflavorful and tasty food that included stuff the kids loved, and me, like French toast with orange zest butter, real syrup, andfruit, pizza for the win with my son, side of eggs for my youngest, beet and buratta salad with perfect toast for me, and agluten free vegan bowl for my lady. ALL WINNERS! Thanks for the lovely lunch today, tasty food, and incredible service. We'll begetting some pastries on the way out. Sorry, the food was so good forgot to stop and take some photos first. Worth the short,couple of minute walk from Laguna Beach's Main Beach. Read more
You might miss this delicious food experience if you drive by too fast. Note that there's no sign alerting you to Zinc. We had... to walk up and check the menu posted outside to see that it was the restaurant we wanted to try. Service was excellent. Staffwere helpful and courteous. Food was tasty and the portions were substantial. We had the Caprese sandwich, bowl of chili, housesalad, and the Reubanesque sandwich. The covered outside seating was comfortable. Be aware that the birds can be very friendly.Guard your food. I wish they sold the bread used for our sandwiches. We could tell that it was real bread! Read more
I like to go to this breakfast spot occasionally with my family because you can sit outside. I usually get muesli, scones, and a... latte, but they also have scrambled eggs and juices. It can be very crowded here, but it is well worth it. Read more
We went to zinc cafe to see our friend playing jazz (beautiful and free live jazz weekend night during the summer), so dinner... was not the main reason. However, we were pleasantly surprised that we enjoy the dinner as well. Mushroom Dijon burger ishighly recommended. Service was excellent. The location is good, but parking is a bit tight. We had Lemon bar for dessert,though I would like to try the chocolate confections as well next time. Read more
Zinc Cafe is an inspiring spot for me as a writer. The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming. The baristas, cooks, and management... are all very kind and hardworking. Definitely drop by for their tasty fresh food or a cup of hot coffee! You will want to comeback:) Read more
