Really enjoyed it. The young woman who took our order suggested the Maple Leaf latte (normally I get vanilla). It was SO delish. I ordered a sausage egg breakfast sandwich (she suggested a side of maple syrup for dipping). YUM. My boyfriend had hot chocolate and a cinnamon roll. Everything was tasty. Highly recommend.

Their strawberry and peach smoothies each hit the spot for my wife and daughter and the peanut butter blended thing was on point!

Great drinks, reasonable pricing, prompt service--win win win!!

Their whole milk is so creamy and yummy. They also make the best dirty Chai (but it can be hit or miss) Their prices aren't bad and my kids always love to see the fish and flowers. If I ever move back to town, I'm sure the employees will eventually know me by name because they'll be seeing my so much!!

I know some people like their 8am milkshakes with lots of sugar but I'd like some espresso in mine. The breakfast burrito was cheap but tasted like something I'd make myself at 1am because I'm feeling munchie. It was McDonald's level eggs with American cheese and store bought bacon bits. The chocolate muffin was actually very good. In an emergency I'd stop here but it's nothing fancy.

The space itself is a clever reuse of a former gas station, fitting since we're just off the Mother Road, Route 66. That history adds a nice layer of character to the industrial‑but‑comfortable setting, with plenty of seating for both solo workers and small groups. I was the first customer through the door this morning and ordered a cortado. It was perfectly prepared: served in the proper short glass, accompanied by a small glass of seltzer as tradition dictates. I set up my laptop at a two‑top table right by a power outlet and settled in for two very pleasant hours. Between the thoughtful service, the quality of the coffee, and the inviting atmosphere, Zinc Coffee made working on the road feel easy. Five stars, without hesitation.

"Not your average Joe," their beans are fresh for take-home and the community space is large for hosting events and parties too, going strong since 2012. I wish I had come hungry because MAC's Cinnamon Rolls looked incredible, as did the ongoing Earl Gray specials. The Van Gogh latte was light on honey, missing some almond, but creamy and caffeinated nonetheless. A very cool spot with many reasons to return - looking forward to tasting the Milky Way on my return!

The atmosphere feels a little less industrial than Zinc and leans more toward the inviting "coffee shop" style, yet it remains an excellent choice for remote workers who want a reliable and pleasant setting. I once again ordered a cortado, and it was once again excellent. Served in the proper short glass, it provided exactly the kind of boost I needed to dig through my mailbox and get everything prepared for the weekend. The consistency here is impressive, and the attention to detail in presentation makes the experience even better. This is a comfortable and quiet place for laptop workers, with seating that encourages focus and a background hum that never becomes distracting. There is street parking right outside, along with a free lot and deck across the street, which makes access easy and stress free. Five stars from me, and I would be glad to spend another full work day here, enjoying both the coffee and the calm environment that makes productivity feel natural.
