Great coffee! Someone new was training the last time we were in and my order was wrong but they immediately remedied that once notified. Great customer service! But, seriously, the coffee is on-point! Not overly roasted, not too acidic. Just perfectly balanced. They have a special blend that is served at Aposto. I am hooked! Need to try the food next time!
For a fan of darker, bolder roast coffees and espresso, Zanzibar is top notch, can't be matched in the metro. Their cappuccino is my favorite, and their breakfast food options are killer as well. Breakfast eggspress and Linda special are both favorites of mine. They have been around a long time, are in a nice spot downtown with a dark cozy interior and rotating art. They have great selections for whole roasted beans as well. There are some other great modern 3rd wave...
I haven't been to Zanzibar since before the pandemic began. The ambiance is dimly lit, so if you plan to work remotely here, make sure you're near a wall sconce or directly under an ceiling light. You can also get here early and snag the beautiful, bright spot by the south-faving window. I love that spot the most because you get beautiful light, people-watch, and sit under the magnificent mature plants in the corner near the order pick-up counter
