We went to Madame ZuZu’s in the winter of 2023 after catching Home Alone at the theater on the next street over. My daughter and I are both huge Smashing Pumpkins fans (we’ve seen them twice in concert) so the movie seemed like a great excuse to get us to Madame ZuZu’s. Our drinks were all really good…I wanna say we got hot chocolates and the staff were really friendly. There’s plenty of really cool store and band merchandise to check out as well. Definitely a place...

What a great place for lunch!
I needed to find a healthy, yet quiet place for lunch and this was perfect.
I have been here in the evenings for jazz and comedy nights but this was a left field choice for me!
The food was simple and not processed which is what I was looking for.
My tomato soup was delicious!!
September 2025
Only been here once. Food was great, staff was a bit cold and snobby. Most of their meat substitutes are Impossible brand, which is Plant Based but not technically vegan. Updated from previous review on 2025-07-27
