I was disappointed with my breakfast pannini and cafe mocha (hot coffee with Hersheys added to it). But the staff is SUPER friendly and the space is cute . Will come back & try again.

Zanzibar has some crazy inspired sandwiches named after neighborhood streets that are really tasty. Even the ice cream is different. Sure it's a little pricey , but that keeps the bums out.

Really friendly staff , numerous outlets, and several chill seating areas make this a nice spot to connect to the free Wi-Fi for a spell. The wifi password is: peppermint
