Never miss a stop at Zinc when I’m in the area. Can always find something I love to eat, no matter what I’m in the mood for.
My favorite local restaurant to reflect and journal. 🌟⭐️💫
Excellent breakfast place tucked in Laguna Beach. They have a cute outdoor patio seating, and shaded for your comfort. Ideal for breakfast or brunch, this place serves up a variety of items. Inside you'll find a variety of pastries and a salad station. I opted for the traditional scrambled eggs with potatoes, and it comes with jam and sourdough. Eggs were very fluffy and fresh. Highly recommend this place.

Zinc Cafe & Bar, located on Ocean Avenue in downtown Laguna Beach, has been serving health-conscious meals for over 35 years. The restaurant features a super cute spot with a great vibe, often feeling like a place straight out of a postcard. It is popular among locals and offers outdoor dining on their patio. The menu has seen changes over the years; many reviews mention that the classic great food, such as the veggie burger, has been replaced with newer, less exciting options, which is considered a major downside. However, when the menu was at its best, the food was fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. Dishes like the California Turkey sandwich and Egg Salad sandwich, along with a Zinc House Salad, received praise for their care and taste. The chili chilies also received positive feedback for their flavor. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, with friendly staff like manager Gabrielle and cashier TJ standing out. While some find the prices a bit high, especially compared to other regions, many feel the quality and atmosphere make it worth it. Overall, Zinc Cafe & Bar remains a beloved spot, though recent menu updates have disappointed some longtime fans.
