Visited with my SIL who is from Azerbaijan, so she knows her tea and baklava. I was excited to try the turkish coffee because I'd never had it before. I was hoping it was going yto be made the traditional way with the pot being swirled in the hot sand, but they use a nespresso type machine. I didn't mind though because the owner was nice and I tried the coffee and discovered that it's an acquired taste and it isn't for me, but it was such a nice presentation. I tried the sausage breakfast toast, made with texas toast and sucuk beef sausage and cheese. I liked it. Although I didn't try the baklava and the turkish delight, they were beautiful to look at. What a nice way to start the morning! read more

I'm not sure if I should write a review for corner Café or Zaza? Since the top of the building says corner Café here we are. What a delightful surprise a Turkish Café with Turkish delights from baklava to coffee to teas and gifts. We were pleasantly surprised by our Turkish coffee, which had a strong, sweet delightful taste. My photos reflect the adorable ambience of the cafe. The owner was very friendly and talkative. He helped us understand what we were ordering offered to change it if we didn't like it tell us a little bit about the readings of the coffee grounds. I ordered the vegan dessert and we also had the baklava. Both of us were very happy with our desserts and coffee. We eventually bought some tease to go if you have a chance and are in the mood for some coffee I would highly recommend Zaza! read more

Stopped in tonight for dinner to go on commercial Ave. I could have ordered online and picked up but I wanted to go visit and see what it was all about. The folks are very friendly and kind. I tried a Turkish delight to go with my coffee and it was fantastic!! I haven't had either before so for a first time I was very impressed. I ordered the Mediterranean salad with meat and am so glad I did! The meat was spectacular tasting and so tender it melted in your mouth. The meat was great added to the salad. Best Mediterranean salad I've ever had! I was so hungry I dove right into the salad and forgot to take a picture...sorry. Trust me...looked and tasted great. I will be back to try some of their specialty items especially their baklava and Turkish delights. I recommend this food truck - stop by and have a chat! Grab a bite while your at it.

Go here for a cup of coffee and to chat with the owner, who is a very interesting person. I'd do some price comparison before buying anything else, because the merchandise was very expensive! $25 for Turkish delight? The same brand is available online for $7.99. I was a little confused about the stories about the merchandise being home made when the Zaza Turkish Coffee stickers were clearly covering another company's label. Oh, they aren't home made, but are made in California according to a recipe you provided and you know the owner? I think the mystery adds to the experience... read more

I've been searching for a place that serves the Turkish orchid flower drink called "salep" for YEARS and stumbled on ZaZa completely on accident today, only to find it on the menu! Anacortes, you have a real treasure here -- it's SO HARD to find salep in the States, and Leo will make it right before your eyes! (It's a milky winter drink served with a topping of cinnamon -- yum!). This little, super authentic Turkish coffee shop is worth going out of your way for. Highly recommend -- I'll be back! read more

I would give this place less stars if I could. Lets start off with we drove 30 minutes out of the way, SUPER excited to try this place out. I was under the impression that this was legitimate Turkish coffee, traditionally brewed, when we got inside the guy was nice but not very helpful. Then we proceeded to order and litterally everything was instant coffee. They used a Keurig type machine to pour the Turkish coffee. Very overpriced. I ordered the Cardamom iced coffee, it was litterally milk, with cardamom spice thrown in. No coffee. Tasted like milk and chunky spices floating at the top. When I asked the employee if there was actually any coffee in my drink after taking a taste, he said, yes, I sprinkled coffee grounds in there.... 16$ later with two small drinks (12 ounces) I would not recommend this place. read more

The slight bit of crisp was peak, and the flavor of the sausage was also quite good. Additionally, the egg was soft and fluffy while the cheese inside the egg was noticeably stretchy. I believe this is the second Calico Cupboard I've been to. This chain seems to place plenty of effort into setting the right vibe with its building, decorations, everything. With that in mind, I think the La Conner one probably does this better with its almost fairy tale-esque location right on the river. Aside from that, uuuuhhh, this is awkward. I came here with my mom, and she left a one star review. I believe this is the first time this has happened as I review almost every restaurant I enter, but her account is essentially inactive, appearing only to cast shame on something unpleasant. If she saw this review, she would probably be angry. But I doubt she'll ever read this (hopefully). If she does...maybe it's worth it to write a high quality review. Lmao. Eating at a restaurant with her does give me a small opportunity as I think of myself as a low maintenance customer. Conversely, she has specific requests, and I get to observe how much each restaurant is willing to accommodate. Recently, she will always order a veggie egg white omelette. She will order this whether it's on your menu or not. It needs to be egg whites, and it needs to be an omelette, not a scramble. She will basically never want breakfast meats and will probably ask for something like shrimp. Oh, and swiss cheese or mixed cheeses. And if there's bread, it has to be English muffin. Absolutely no potato stuff. Calico Cupboard, to their credit, was able to meet all of these needs except that they don't have shrimp lol. Oh, and I guess the English muffin was an extra charge. She liked the broccoli. Anyways, service was slightly delayed, which left my coffee cup temporarily empty. I guess that's objectively a hit on service. Also, she didn't like the look and texture of her English muffin. I didn't try it so I can't judge that aspect, but I guess the cut did look rather "flat" to me for some reason. So these were the, uuuuhh, "impetus," for her to find something else, and she found it on a grape. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of this before the waitress took it to the kitchen, but it was some small....white.....thing. In my personal opinion, I could not tell what it was at all, and it could've been some small disfigured piece of egg or cheese, but she was adamant that it was a "bug." And basically demanded to know why the kitchen didn't clean their fruits. The waitress agreed (or at least pretended to agree) that it looked off and went to the kitchen with it. However, the back of the house was not so easily intimidated and maintained that they did clean their fruits and there was nothing wrong with it. As a result, even though the waitress apologized, we did not get a discount for the "bug," which obviously put her in a bad mood. I did at least take a picture of my own fruits, with the grapes towards the front. But naturally, I was unable to capture the same, errr, contaminant.

Everything tasted fresh, and there were so many options to choose from. I especially enjoyed their cookies and muffins, and I'll definitely be returning to try more items. The service was friendly, and the overall atmosphere made it a really nice spot to relax with coffee and a pastry. Their prices are also quite reasonable for the quality, which makes it even more worth visiting regularly. They also have a nice selection of retail goods, which is great for people traveling through the area or anyone looking to browse local products while enjoying coffee and pastries. Overall, this has quickly become one of my favorite café spots.

Small coffee chain popular in this region so I wanted to give them a try. This location has no…read moreinside dining, they have a car drive thru on the right and a pedestrian walk up window on the left. Menu has no prices listed. I ordered a 16 ounce latte and after tax it was almost $6 (before tip): barista was friendly and made a good drink (milk was steamed to a good temperature and had the right amount of froth). The expresso was disappointing. It wasn't strong enough (kind of bland) and didn't have a rich flavor that I look for. This is not a place to hang out and visit with friends or get work done so go somewhere else unless you just want a quick cup of coffee. There has to be better options here though.....

There were mirrors inside the coffee stand so that you could see her from behind while she rings you up. It was quite cold so I found the whole thing a bit sad. The coffee was just fine, thats what the 3 stars are for. But it was expensive, I believe it was like $9 for a 16oz mocha with oat milk. Plus tip. I gave her a good tip.

Sweetest barista, great coffee and sandwich was so good. Fun and friendly. Ten out of 10 rating ,…read more***** 5 star review. Place was clean and open to see area which was bright and colorful, a very pleasant experience , a little spendy but a novel experience . I'll stop there again.
