    1/2 Sandwich and Salad Lunch (Sourdough bread, turkey, hummus, peppers & more with Mediterranean Salad)
    Stephanie K.

    It's been quite awhile since I've visited or ordered from Z Cafe, and I'm so sorry for this! Now after ordering a quick lunch today, I am reminded of why I have loved it here so much for so many years!!! The food is amazing and fresh and the service is always spot on! My 1/2 sandwich and Mediterranean salad today was just perfection and more than enough to fuel me up this afternoon - all for a reasonable price too. I'll be sure to stop by soon with a friend or two to share my gratitude and show some support to this local family owned biz for their wonderful service and delicious meal I had today!

    Enjoyed eating breakfast here this morning. They were the only ones around here open at 7am. Workers greeted us with a smile. Had the omelet with mushroom bacon and spinach. The egg was fluffy and soft. But wish had less bacon and more mushrooms and spinach. The bacon, mushrooms and spinach were all made earlier and kept warm. However it came with toast which was nice. I'd come back and eat here again.

    Dylan Sandwich w/potato salad

    Z-Cafe is a hidden gem! All of their sandwiches and ingredients are fresh! The several times that I have had Z-Cafe mine and bf's favorite has been the Dylan sandwich: Chicken, Bacon, Monterey Jack, Green Chiles, Ranch & Chipotle Sauce. One of their most popular sandwiches and for good reason! A MUST GET!! As for the sandwiches I've had, they've been good but not as memorable. The chipotle chicken salad was good! I liked the twist with the chipotle and the fact that you can get it on a croissant! Each sandwich comes with a pickle and a side: pasta salad, potato salad, macaroni salad, fruit, or chips. The sides are all very tasty! Overall you can't miss at Z-Cafe!

    Price and quality did not match…read more I ordered the pastrami sandwich and immediately noticed some cost cutting choices, like butter flavored spray (can we use real butter) US Foods/Chef's Store sourdough bread, (can we use real sourdough bread) and a microwave sitting next to the griddle (which the griddle looks like it has not been cleaned very often). I didn't think much of it at first, but then I watched the owner heat the pastrami in the microwave before assembling the sandwich. I've never had a deli sandwich prepared that way right in front of me, and it was disappointing. She also pulled out a large bag of Taylor Farms shredded lettuce. I asked for no lettuce, and she joked that "people don't want lettuce anymore." Given the recent news surrounding Taylor Farms, that comment didn't exactly inspire confidence. What really surprised me was that the pastrami was placed in a plastic basket and microwaved. Whether or not it's considered safe, seeing food heated that way wasn't very appetizing. Looking around, there also didn't appear to be any real kitchen equipment for preparing hot sandwiches beyond a microwave. A Blackstone griddle or even a quality countertop oven would have inspired much more confidence in the food, especially considering the owner's Yelp responses emphasizing the quality of their sandwiches. From what I experienced, the preparation didn't match those claims. In the end, we ordered just one pastrami sandwich and one beer, and the total came to about $25, with the sandwich alone costing over $17. For that price, I expected much better ingredients and preparation. Unfortunately, the quality didn't match the cost. We tried to be as nice as possible but we left feeling pretty disappointed and couldn't wait to get out of there.

The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the staff is always friendly. If you're looking for reliable, delicious Mediterranean food in Mesa, Green Corner is an easy 5-star recommendation.

The Vegetarian plate was also generous and was enjoyed by my friend. It included three crispy falafel, hummus, tabouleh salad, baba ghannoug, 2 stuffed grape leaves and tahini sauce with pita bread. We look forward to returning. Highly recommended for delicious Greek food and generous portions at a fair price!
