Zinneken's Belgian Waffles and Café (Glastonbury)

I stop by on a Tuesday morning after a doctors appointment. I don’t think they were ready for the quick 9:30 AM rush that appeared out of nowhere. It took a while to get my waffle and I think they forgot to bring my mint tea, I had to remind the cashier. Also, the table that I sat at wasn’t clean but again it appeared that they were very busy so I just took a napkin and wiped it myself.

The taste was very good. I was afraid that the waffle would be soggy, but it had a great consistency and texture, definitely Belgian style. The strawberries were fresh and not overly ripe.

Where to begin? Our order was taken wrong, bc there is this barrier that is hard to hear anything through. You wait and wait… for waffles. AND IT IS SOO HOT. We waited well over 30 minutes for waffles. And melted. The coffee was not good. I even saw them make cold coffee with hot espresso going directly into a plastic cup~ is that legal? And they DO NOT OFFER WATER. You have to buy bottled water from them as you melt. I don’t normally drink from plastic at all. But YOU ARE MELTING.

And it’s not the first or second time like this. I WANT TI LIKE THIS PLACE, but I WILL NEVER GOTHERE AGAIN.

It really needs help. And a new AC.

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars! The waffles were awesome and their tea selection was on point. Unfortunately we also ordered breakfast sandwiches and they were not at all what we ordered. Eggs were sunny side up instead of over medium, and my husband got sausage instead of bacon on his...we didn't bother saying anything because they still tasted good, but I don't know how the order was lost in translation.

Absolutely love this little breakfast place! Their main menu offerings are waffles - either sweet Belgian style with sugar crystals baked in, or light crispy wafer if you choose the Liege style. Either way, choose any from a variety of sweet sauces or fruit toppings, maybe a scoop of ice cream, or one of their preset combinations (I like their strawberry, banana, and Nutella). They also have savory options like eggs Benedict style or breakfast platters if you don't actually want a waffle, and all of it is delicious. Their iced and hot coffees and espresso are also all very good - and they offer pumpkin spice year round.

Service can be a little slow but that's because everything is always made fresh. Just don't expect it to be a quick in-and-out. The tables are meant to accommodate small groups, couples, or individuals. My only complaint is it can be difficult to communicate across the glass barrier (installed during COVID) when ordering.

First of all I would like everybody out there to know, who is reading this. I gave this restaurant a very poor rating.
The reason I am giving it a poor rating is number one the table was wobbly, The server tried to fix the table but was very unsuccessful number two We walked in today, Saw the menu and there were no prices on the menu So that's another reason why I gave it a poor rating. Number three the food was very expensive and will never ever ever ever go back to this place again.. They hidd The menu prices because they don't want people to know how much their food is going to be.. We ordered waffles eggs ham and paint about $18 to 20 who in the hell are the right mind charges $18 to $20 for breakfast-I mean come on This stupid restaurant overrates and charges people without them even knowing how much prices are on their menu and that's why I think this restaurant is a very unsuccessful restaurant and the food way overpriced will never go back for that reason. People who are reading this don't go back don't go to this restaurant The food is mediocre and the prices are just outrageous hiding places on their menu is not very lucrative at all. This little restaurant sucks..
Thank you

OMG! This is the best café around!! I didn't know what to expect and had never heard of an eggs Benedict on a waffle. Perfection! The Cafe mocha was also delicious. Well worth every cent. Highly recommended.

Great waffles and coffee ☕️

I really wanted to like this place, but the experience just didn’t live up to the hype. I waited over 35 minutes for one waffle, and when it finally came out, it was still gooey in the middle. I actually had to go back up and remind them about it, which was frustrating. The waffle itself was just okay — definitely not worth the long wait or price.

On a positive note, my iced matcha with lavender was actually really good, and probably the best part of the visit. The atmosphere was decent but the space felt hot and cramped, especially while waiting around for so long. Overall, not somewhere I’d rush back to.

Absolutely amazing food and service! They went and above to ensure that my catering order went through without a problem! I would hands down order from them again and have recommended them to anyone who has ears! Thank you!!

The food was great. Hollandaise sauce spot on and eggs cooked perfectly. Maybe a little more seasoning in the eggs and the breakfast potatoes. A little on the pricey side for a complete breakfast, but not unexpected. I will definitely try it again. The batter/waffles were very good by themselves.

From the waffles to the coffee was amazing! Great atmosphere and friendly staff!

BEST breakfast place around. Originally from Manchester, this place is far better than any breakfast spot in Manchester. Highly recommend.

It was my first time here this morning and I loved it. The atmosphere was cozy yet modern. I ordered the whipped cream waffle with cinnamon and a latte and my friend ordered the eggs benedict. I didn't think it was too sweet but I also didn't need any syrup. First time I ever ate a waffle without syrup. It was that good! One thing I noticed is that the staff really do seem to know their patrons especially those who frequent the restaurant. A couple walked in and a staff member commented on the gentleman's new haircut and started making their coffee as soon as they saw them. The staff do seem to be really attentive to the customers. I would highly recommend trying this spot.

Food is great!
