Absolutely love their food. Also adore Patty for hosting mine and my fiancée’s engagement party, and making it absolutely perfect and extra special for us. I highly recommend Cafe Z!
                July 2025
            Cafe Z came up in my search as a nearby spot for coffee between meetings. While it wasn’t the coffee shop I had in mind, the waiter delivered—my cappuccino was as good as promised, and the warm apple cobbler recommendation was spot on. The atmosphere has a bit of an old-fashioned feel, but my meal was worth it.
