  I really liked the atmosphere. It is cozy and active. They seem to do good business. I only got a Latte and a croissant. The latte was a little lukewarm but had a good foam and I enjoyed it. I am not sure if the croissants are made in house, but it was served cold and it tasted a little underbaked. They were very busy, so I didn't want to be *that person*, demanding hot food. The actual flavor of the croissant was good, if a little doughey. My friend ordered grits, turkey bacon and eggs, and it looked very good. My friend was pleased with it as well. I was also glad I wasn't *that person* because a delivery guy came barging in cursing up a storm because he was told to wait outside for his order. Granted, it was cold outside, but the space is small and why didn't he have a coat and hat on? He looked like he stepped out of his car to pick up the order and got mad he had to wait. Anyway, the owner and staff handled his foolishness very well. The prices were fair and their menu looked good, overall. Also, even though they were very busy, they didn't try and rush us from our table, and I greatly appreciate that. I will go check them out again for sure.

  Came to Zaca Cafe after a long travel day and it was so good!! The staff were so nice and attentive, especially our waitress, Vanessa. We also got to meet the owner who was so kind. Will definitely be coming again whenever I’m back in New York and will recommend to anyone who will listen!!!

  Our server Vanessa was so fun and welcoming! We had a group of 8 and were sat in less than 5 minutes on a busy Saturday morning. The food was delicious and hospitality was everything!

  I'm visiting from Philly (I lived here for 15 yrs but scooted south recently) and am staying in Bed Stuy and came in here for brunch this morning. The food is outrageously good actually, and really big portions. The waitress was one of those people who is just a walking good vibes dispenser, like super super nice. It's like a neighborhood cafe type place but was consistently busy in the 90 min or so I was in there, but not hectic. It was a great way to spend a morning.

  was a great place prior to our experience yesterday where the server failed to ask if our table had any food allergies - resulting in my friend going out of her way with a peanut allergy to tell the server about it which she was informed clear as day. This server ended up giving her a plate which if it wasnt baked with nuts, was prepared in an area with nuts which is a #1 thing that servers need to be knowledgable on. This negligence almost costed my friend her life by mere minutes if we didnt get to the ER in time and it was almost blood on their hands. My friend fully plans to take legal action as well as I have such disappointment as an ex server of over 6 years how something like this could have happened from an apparent trained server. I usually dont complain, karen, or anything, but this restaurants negligence had my friend laying in my arms with her throat closing up on the verge of death. You guys will be held accountable and shame on you.
