WOW it is just always so good and savory I always want more, even though the bread is very thick and hearty and topped with heaping piles of avocado. I opted for a little balsamic glaze and it was divine! Always a great time at Zen, plus I got to see the new expansion. It's a great spot for meeting, working, or catching up with friends.

I recently visited Zen Coffee Company for the first time. Since I've been avoiding caffeine lately,…read moreI was hoping for a good selection of herbal teas. They only offered one herbal option (lavender mint) but unfortunately I could only taste the mint and didn't notice any lavender. They did have other caffeine-free drinks available, but I was looking for something unsweetened and low in sugar. The space was also different than I expected. Based on the name, I imagined a cozy, relaxing atmosphere with comfortable lounge seating. Instead, the décor felt a bit mismatched, almost like the café had expanded over time and the two sides were decorated very differently. That said, one thing they absolutely got right was the amount of seating. There were plenty of tables and space to work, study, or catch up with a friend without feeling crowded. The biggest downside was the cleanliness. The bathroom didn't feel clean, there were stains on the floors, chipped paint and damaged walls, crumbs around the couches and on some of the chairs, and the dish return bins were noticeably dirty inside. I stayed for about 90 minutes, and during that time I didn't see any cleaning happening, even though there were several areas that clearly needed attention. None of these issues alone would have been a dealbreaker, but together they made the café feel neglected and took away from what otherwise could have been a much more enjoyable experience.

I took my 6 year old son out for a breakfast date and we landed here kind of unexpectedly (a nearby…read morespot actually had a staffing issue and couldn't open on time). But my son and I both agreed that we were quite pleased with our pivot plan to visit Con Azucar! We hadn't yet been in, I'd seen tons of photos but that was about it. For breakfast, I got myself a chilaquiles meal because that's my favorite - their take on it was decent: the sauce was the real star. I appreciated that it was served platter style with house potatoes, beans, and I believe there was also rice. This made it super easy to split the meal with my son: we just added a couple of eggs to the chilaquiles for me, and then ordered him a side of beef and a delicious pastry, and then there were plenty of sides on my dish that he enjoyed picking at. I actually was not planning on getting coffee here but toward the end of our visit I decided it would be a loss not to try it while we were in here. I ended up deciding on an iced Mazapan latte and I was very pleasantly surprised! I have since returned for this exact latte again. It is such a great balance of creamy and sweet and nutty. For my personal palette, I'd probably prefer it with one extra shot just because it is quite sweet, but however they are making their Mazapan syrup... Man, they've nailed it! HIGHLY recommend trying that when you're visiting!

I loved the aromas and vibes of the shop. They have an assortment of items for sale including coffee beans, shirts, mugs, and chocolate covered espresso beans amongst many other things! I got the spicy nut latte off the seasonal menu. I got an iced medium along with the dark chocolate covered espresso beans and both were delicious!! The prices here are insanely reasonable. I paid just a little over $9 for both items. I couldn't believe it! I wish this was a place where I can just sit and take in the smells as I enjoy my coffee, but there is no seating as this is more of an actual store that also serves coffee. However, that won't stop me from being a regular visitor!

Everyone else at our table also enjoyed their meal. I also got regular coffee and tried the German Chocolate Cake drip brew. WOW!

Their Griddled French Toast is also kept pretty simple, with a small dusting of powdered sugar, some strawberries and whip. Went well with their traditional syrup! Parking is a blast but I promise their food makes up for the limited spacing. Their cinnamon rolls and other sweet treats right when you walk in, looked AMAZING.

The location on 204th Street in Gretna is clean, open, inviting ... but noisy. It's one of those warehouse-type settings where you really have to work at having a private conversation. Seating is expecially comfortable in the big chairs, but then you have to schootch them close together and lean in so you can hear each other, which is unfortunate. Granted, tables are set far apart, but this should be in addition to. Coffee was delicious, but the beignet bites were just so-so. Granted, one should not expect New Orleans beignets outside of New Orleans, but these little donut puffs had only a light dusting of powdered sugar (which I actually was thankful for because I wore black pants!), and there was a not-overly-pleasant surprise inside with an indistinguishable creamy substance that was sort of like the inside of a brown sugar cinnamon poptart, only less so. I hadn't been expecting that. The yogurt parfait was substantial and delicious. (The staff was friendly and helpful when making selections, but it didn't occur to me to ask about fillings.)
