I had a Belgian waffle and a side of country ham while my husband had the all meat omelet. The server was attentive, keeping our coffees filled and the food didn't take too long. The butter and syrup were in the little plastic containers but the cream for my coffee was real. My waffle was warm enough that the butter melted. The slice of ham was big enough I used a piece of my husband's toast to make a sandwich. He said his omelet was good. Sometimes in a little place like this out-of-towners can get skimpy service but we felt at home. We'd definitely stop by again when in the area. Check out the goldfish tank inside an old stove.

Breakfast sandwiches and pastries are awesome as well. But we really love the lotus drinks and think that they're very different than other places!

I cannot rave about Zera enough! This has become my friends and I's Saturday morning spot and we…read moretalk about it constantly to anyone that will listen. There is literally nothing I have tried at Zera that I have not loved. My go to is the avocado bagel, sometimes switching to the pickle cream cheese on it & no exaggeration, I look forward to it all week. The baked goods are also insanely good. My recommendations are the cruffins, danishes, quiche, and cinnamon rolls. Alongside the food, having a coffee there is an absolute must. My usual is a 100 Acre Woods Latte with Oatmilk but I have to stray from that for seasonal drinks every now and then & this year, the Gingerbread General took the cake on my favorite holiday drink! On top of such great food and drinks, the staff is the downright kindest you'll ever meet and they work so insanely hard! Zera is truly the loveliest spot in Waterloo and I cannot recommend it enough! When you visit, take in the gorgeous details of the space and pop into the cozy vault with a friend! P.S. They just now started selling their granola in bags and it's a must buy! It's 100x better than any granola you can buy at the store!

The eggs were not poached, the toast was not toasted and got extremely soggy quickly, the hollandaise sauce was way too much and the taste was off. It was supposed to be served with Avacado and there was none (they did bring me some on the side) and a very sad amount of Goat Cheese. Also came with no sides at almost $15. Very sadly very disappointed as I was looking forward to this meal.

It has the cutest little white picket fence. You walk in and are absorbed by different teas, spices, and herbs. And not in a teavana way, this place is so welcoming, like your grandmas house. They had some really awesome, hard to find and unique spices, like myrrh. They also had a TON of brands of tea, different styles, something for everyone. They had a separate room for tea. Pretty much, you can pick anything you want and they'll make a fresh cup for you right there. My fiancé was in love. They sold all the tea accessories, like matcha bowls and whisks, strainers, mugs. Everything you can think of. And then, in the mix of this, is art and antiques. Delicately placed, almost like it was all meant to be there, but you can buy it all. And some cute items too, including some beautiful furniture. We could have hung out for hours here, it's so cool and unique. Highly recommend a stop in.
