First time here. Don't judge me Hahha. Great spot for breakfast. The lunch menu looked great too! I was a little worried when we walked up as they looked busy. The wait was only ten minutes though. Our server l, Erica, was awesome. Very attentive and gave great recommendations. Definitely plan on coming back!

My FAVORITE restaurant. Breakfast and dinner are both amazing! They have an extensive menu with all types of cuisine which is sometimes a red flag at a restaurant...but Z cafe does everything well! I don't know how they do it. On top of their food being a hit every time, they have kept affordable prices. This place is the bomb, and the service and atmosphere is always fantastic. Love love love this spot. Never change!!

A friend of mine was excited to share her go-to spot in Bonsall. Z Cafe is probably one of the most impressive restaurants I've ever been to in the US post pandemic... Why? It's like an art gallery and restaurant in one. I really enjoyed the paintings by Steve Barton showcased throughout the rooms, especially on the way up the stairs from the lower level. What a grand entry!! I love that they have dishes that have rice, pasta, and bread/sandwich options for my family--the 3 of us in my family have different preferences for carbs. I really love their Hawaiian meals. Quality of the beef and chicken is super fresh. Taste, service, presentation are excellent. The price? Unbelievable! Huge portions for under or around $10. This is crazy considering all the price gouging post Covid. This is a must visit for tourists and a popular venue for very lucky locals. What a special place. Made me feel spoiled!

I have eaten here many times. Always good. Food always good service. Ambience is nice. Has a cute bar and a patio deck.

By far the best chili relleno i've had in years. I had a chilly Reno and a crispy, chicken taco. And a Coke and was out of there with 16 bucks. That seems like a darn. Good deal to me and believe me. When I say this is the best chili relleno I've had in years. I mean it

The food was very tasty. We were a big party for a rehearsal lunch. Everybody loved the food .I would definitely come back to this restaurant. Highly recommended

Z Cafe is amazing. My first thoughts were long wait times, and slow service, but in under 5 minutes, we got our table and within 10 minute, they brought our food and drinks to the table. It's not just the service, but the food is amazing too. Everything they have looks so good and filling. After being there for the second time with the family, there was no difference. Everyone had enjoyed the food.

I have came to this restaurant 3 times in 1 month I am more than happy with the delicious food & dessert I will keep coming trying new plates . Great service. Great environment I highly recommend this place
Best chai and I've tea ever! Service was excellent even though they were really busy. It was a little loud but we didn't mind. Our favorite place!

Great vibe! Very big place and always packed for brunch. Food was surprisingly good as we were not sure about the area. We ended up at the bar to avoid the long wait which wasn't too bad in terms of service.

Food is great, breakfast, lunch and dinner, lots of variety. It's always busy, but service is good and usually pretty fast.

We had the steak salad and salmon salad. I’m not a blue cheese fan so they happily substituted goat cheese. The steak was perfect, tender perfectly seasoned. The salad was good, the candied walnuts were very yummy and I loved the strawberry dressing. So good. The sweet potato fries were probably the best I’ve had. Prices were quite reasonable. A bit crowded, but that’s to be expected.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of Gluten free options, very good!!

A North County staple. This place is almost always busy. Interesting menu selections with a full bar and inside or patio seating. Good food and frlendly service at reasonable prices. Their happy hour menu is fantastic, with several items priced at only $5. ????
