I finally came across Coffee By Zion after my regular coffee place closed due to their flaky staff. As I stepped into this place, I was pleasantly surprised by the somewhat hipster post-modern interior design. Seating is also pretty comfortable, and they offer a wide range of espresso and coffee beverages, including a cold brew, that I must try at some point.
This place also taps in to the health food segment, and offers muesli and superfood (açai) and smoothies, while also taking a swing at millennials with money- with their cold brews, and artisanal espresso beverages. They also offer conventional items like croissants, or the ever so popular "all day breakfasts" that every coffee joint in the area seems to have its own version of. Of the breakfasts on offer, I tried the highly recommended meat lovers breakfast which came with lots of bacon, sausages, a poached egg, and ham. Based on the fact that I felt that that was way too much deli meat for me to handle, it seems I don't love meat as much as a I think I do. It would probably be better to have an extra poached egg, but less meat, or more a little more rocket. I'd probably try the all day breakfast next time.
I'm not so sure about their coffee, I admittedly did get the latte so I can't really assess the coffee effectively in terms of flavour, aroma and acidity, but I could probably try something next milky next time. Good espresso art though. read more
