What I experienced today was literally mind blowing . They had some teenage kid working whose attitude was BEYOND AWFUL . He got the order wrong and then argued with me that he was right and I was wrong. When I asked for my money back and told him I'm sure the actual owner would not be very happy ..he told me " I don't care this place is closing soon" then proceed to tell me how bad the place was ... I mean coffee is good but I'll never step foot in that place again !! Unfortunately when you own a small business you are forced to rely on angry teenagers who don't give two shits about your business .. and this kid is actually telling customers this !! Too many choices for coffee stay away from here !!

Sadly I will have to give this coffee shop a 1 star. The iced chai's were AMAZING, the peanut butter and banana toast was INCREDIBLE, the quiche was still cold on the inside but had a tasty flavor. The reason for the one star is the employee working there. We went yesterday, 2/23 around 11:30/noon and there was a young male employee with long curly hair. I didn't get his name because he wasn't wearing a name tag. This employee was beyond rude!! No thank you, gave attitude when we were trying to order like we were a bother to him. We still tipped because the female employee was very pleasant! However this male absolutely hates his job and it needs to be addressed. Sadly we will not be returning, I rather pay for mediocre chai and food and have a pleasant experience. SO DISAPPOINTED!

Loved this coffee shop! It's very spacious and cozy. And they have really great food and drink options. My friend and I got a few different items to split and I had a tea latte while he had a latte. Everything was so good!

This place is great and the staff is friendly. It sounded like they get a lot of the same group of people here which is really amazing to see! It would be a great place to work, study, or have a book club meeting. I had the almond mocha latte with oat milk and it was soooo good. Def recommend!

What a great find! I decided to check this place out for a coffee before having brunch nearby. Located in a popular business complex, there is ample parking. Hours are clearly posted on the door. When walking in, I also noticed a dog bowl and toy on the ground for furry friends. I don't think I'd let my dog share a toy but I love that they have it available. I was greeted very warmly by a really nice employee (she may have been the owner?). I asked her which sauces were vegan and she personally double checked, which was awesome as most people would just guess. I ordered the large hot toasted almond mocha with oat milk. It was great! Very nice strong espresso flavor (which I like) and was not too sweet. Usually I like sweeter, but I didn't mind that this one wasn't. I was here around 9:30 on a Saturday, and was surprised how busy it was. Almost every table was taken! There is a mix of booth and table seating. I sat at a table due to what was available. I will say the wicker chairs were not very comfy, but if you were coming here for work it would be nice. I did log on and test the wifi twice and it was a speed of 12.2 Mbps and later 18 download speed, which is pretty slow, so not sure if I'd do any video meetings here. Definitely will return!

This is a cute little bohemian style coffee place with pastries, limited food options and coffe/lattes. I went a few times and I have ordered the lavender latte which was really good, but I got it with almond milk and the milk wasn't as hot as I would of liked....but I know that the nut milks aren't as easily warmed as regular milk. I also have ordered the avo toast a few times and although I love avocado toast... the toast tasted really cold and avo wasn't that ripe. I do like the lavender flavor in the coffee because it's just right... and it's a super cute place to just hang out in so I will definitely return.

This is hands my favorite coffee shop to go to. Not only is their coffee and vegan treats so good, they are always so nice. I love how sweet and involved the owner is as well, her staff is always so inviting and all over just a good vibe here!!

We came here after looking for a coffee/tea drink nearby. It was easy to find, and there was plenty of places to park. We ordered the guava dream, witch doctor, and sunset by the beach. The person who took our order said the drinks are very sweet here, so we got half sweet, but it was still quite sweet. We also had a check-in to redeem a macaron, but she just apologized when they were out, so it didn't do anything. The drinks were good, but they are sweet even half half-sweet, so I would probably order 25% next time. The witch doctor was our least favorite because it tasted oddly of chamomile, but the guava dream and strawberry breeze were both really good, but the guava dream was our favorite. If I was back in area, I would definitely order the guava dream against because it is unique and delicious.

KC and Abigail helped my grandma and I to some great drinks. Lovely atmosphere with books and board games. Will be back!
I came in for a gift card for my nephew and Abigail provided excellent customer service, offering to print it out for me and make it extra special for Christmas. Thank you, Abigail!

Great atmosphere and great tea's and coffee. Bullet proof here is outstanding and so is the service. Not sure if the owner is the one that's also here during most weekdays but super sweet and kind person. Need more places like this

Zen Coffee Bar is a cozy and well decorated cafe. Everyone working there has a nice smile and charm, especially the manager (owner?). Seats and tables are comfortable, with charging outlets almost everywhere you sit (make sure you have a long charging cable). Music is soothing and not too loud. They have an entire shelf of board games you can play with friends. I was gifted a macaron, which was delicious. They have other pastries and the drinks are good (my favorite is the hazelnut dark chocolate iced latte - pictured). My only complaint is it is a little pricey, but that's how it is everywhere these days. I enjoy coming here to study or do some work. Overall, 10/10 spot
