I wanted one more breakfast in London before flying back later in the day. Love the aesthetics of the place-plants, white tiles, lighting. Sat by the big windows-great spot to watch the rain and people hurriedly to their destination. I ordered the chorizo hash and it was beautifully plated but I took a pic only after I ate it. Very filling! The service was not too bad for a Friday morning. Didn't feel rushed to leave. Glad I found this place before we left London! read more

First night in London for this American and I wanted budget-friendly, hearty, local fare. A quick online search returned Zack's, near my hotel and the Gloucester Road station on the Piccadilly Line. Great service from our server: Polite and attentive. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Calamari was served hot and was a good shareable size (or good for one). The truffle fries were my favorite: Served hot, just the right amount of truffle, and all I added was fresh cracked black pepper. The garlic mushroom bruschetta was different, so I wanted to try it: Just mushrooms on bread, but was a bit salty. Overall, I'd recommend. read more

Really two reviews: Food: we had breakfast and it was good. They know how to make good food. This was probably 4 stars. Service: one star at best. We put in or orders, they were read back to us for confirmation, and then... nothing. After 20 minutes, I went to the counter to get us some water. Then they said they didn't have the tea I ordered. Maybe this is my American naïveté, but how does a restaurant in London not have jasmine tea? Anyway, the coffee came out ten minutes later. By that point one of our breakfasts had been brought out, but there were 4 of us. Ten minutes later, 2 more plates came out. After another 10 minutes, we asked where the 4th plate was. The waitress had no recollection of it, even though she confirmed our orders with us. Finally when we said forget it, another waitress asked us to wait just a few minutes more. By the time the 4th plate finally came out, the rest of us had finished our food. Oh, and then they tried to charge us for the tea they didn't even have. Again, the food was really good, and they were somewhat apologetic, but the service here needs a LOT of work read more

Absolutely more than we wished! Service flavors, atmosphere was all absolutely perfect. Cocktails and our breakfasts were absolutely fantastic. If you are booking for flavorful, amazing dishes, come here. Came the other evening, and their pizza was outstanding as well. read more

Stopped by for breakfast as the restaurant was across from the hotel I was staying at. There was only one table occupied other than my own yet it took 30 minutes to receive my order. The waitress had absolutely no interest in doing her job. It was clear she could not be bothered. After receiving my order, she never came back over to ask if there was anything else that was needed. She spent the time behind the counter eating and listening to music that was a bit too loud for the space. read more

Very nice. Enjoyed light breakfast and coffee. Service attentive and pastries looked good.

Nice morning place. Lots of options and the owner is very nice. Excellent morning coffee spot.

Took extremely long (more than 30 mins) to have the breakfirst ready. The food seems to be ok but two of us had stomach ache after that.

Zack's on Gloucester Rd is apparently now an Italian Bistro for fresh pasta and handmade pizza. I came here for dinner at around 10pm, when the kitchens of a couple of nearby pubs were closed. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. I ordered Pasta Chicken Milanese; the pasta was fresh and well made, and the chicken was tasty. I'd have appreciated a bread basket and some olive oil. read more

please visit these wonderful folks. they take so much pride in their shop and are so very friendly. food was fresh and they were very generous with happy hour. Nota pub but a nice clean little restaurant. read more

Came here with Sophia. I felt like the waiter didnt speak English? It was easier to speak with French waiters in Paris yesterday. We had the carbonara and Milenese while both were small in portion both tasted very good read more

Zack's is a quite and pleasant cafe just down the road from Gloucester Road station. The interior is trendy and suitable to completing work. I have visited a couple of times and have tried the a flatbread sandwich (Tomato, Cheese, and Ham), the Greek Salad, and a breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomatos, toast was the special of the day). There are made-to-order entrees and pre-made entrees, so you can grab a quick bite or sit in for a causal lunch. I have no complaints about he freshness of the ingredients. Zack's also has a friendly staff which is always helpful and accomdating to patrons. read more

I was attracted to Zack's by the fact it a) wasn't a chain and b) it serves Middle-eastern/Mediterranean fodder. It's a huge space, with plenty of room for a bigger group if needed. They serve tempting cakes, fresh juices, hot drinks and plenty of savoury options. I plumped for one of my favourites: falafel and hummus wrap. It arrived with a serving of lentils, which was a nice (nutricious) touch. While well presented, the falafel was a tad dry and not draped in enough hummus to my greedy mind. The prices seemed reasonable, though, especially for such an expensive area. My wrap was under £4 and their lunch special is £6.50 for a hot meal, side and salad. I liked the laid-back jazzy soundtrack, too. Check it out. read more

Do you like cold meatballs in your mouth? If so this is the place for you. The sandwich (it you can call it that) was more of a pita bread with slapped on pesto and sauce.. making it WET, the cheese was melted...but COLD. As we told them it was cold, they responded with saying the cheese is meant to be cold. I don't know about you guys, but when I pay for food, I expect to enjoy it, and not only did I not enjoy my food, but I also did not enjoy the disapproving looks I got after I kindly asked for the food to be heated. The best part is they told us they wouldn't charge us the service fee lol. That was the sassiest sandwich I've ever eaten. read more

Good pancakes and great fresh squeezed ok for good price. Recommend it! Nice sitting in front al fresco

Everything looks good, but when u try it... yuck...I ordered the spaghetti & meatballs (how can you screw that up?) Spaghetti was bland & meatballs were cold. I would never eat here again. On the flip side, the service is very good, but who cares if the bring your bad food fast?! read more

Zack's is right next to Gloucester station which is great for a tourist like me. The food is good and seemed wholesome, but the prices are way too high for a normal day out. The strawberry-elderflower-banana smoothie changed my life!! I also got a plate of Mexican chicken with a side of quinoa salad which was fine. Only 2 stars because the service was terrible; the girl taking my order seemed very unhappy to be there and was unhelpful. For this reason, I will not be coming back to this restaurant. Goodbye smoothie of my heart! read more

I found this place after doing some googling, specifically for the best wifi café near me. I dropped into this place and thought it was the bees knees. Firstly it seemed that three people needed to operate the contactless payment (small thing but adds up when the rest of the experience isn't great). When I ordered my drink and cake I went to sit down.Tried to Jiggle with the wifi (I've got the public sign-up access and the private access they provide at the counter). Both were surprisingly slow (less than a Meg down) but I stuck with it because I wasn't exactly streaming movies at a café. This took about half an hour of trying stuff, which led me to wonder where my order was. There were three other coffee shops nearby so even if they got it from there and gave it to me it wouldn't take half an hour. I then asked for it and they promptly made it, with no apology or compensation like a free muffin (standard procedure everywhere else). After a short while the wifi dropped off on both my phone and laptop. I've got the same router at home so it's definitely not my hardware yet it was off for a while. I decided to just connect to the restaurant in front and managed to get more reliable wifi at around 1meg up/down. When I ordered a tea after, I was met by a great barista (well dressed clean shaven Asian guy, potentially management). If he dealt with me early on, I may have rated this higher. I don't usually expect much but if I'm told this is a great place then I'm going to want to know why, thus, I'll have some medium-high expectations. Probably going to try one of the other spots nearby next time. read more

We went to this place because it was across from our hotel and it looked like a straightforward cafe. It was anything but. We sat down, placed our orders for coffee and tea. No problem yet. Then we ordered breakfast. Two orders of eggs Benedict. The problems start here. 1. One hour for two orders of egg Benedict. And only when we asked "how long?" Did they realize we hadn't received our food yet. A total of one hour and a half. No apologies from the staff, the front lady was actually a bit rude about it. A couple next to us actually left because it took so long 2. When our food did arrive, one of them had the hollandaise side on the eggs, although we specifically requested on the side. The food was sent back to be restarted which was going to take yet another hour. How hard is a four ingredient dish? 3. How do you have eggs Benedict without English muffins? In England of all places!! 4. The chef was not wearing gloves 5. The entirety of being oblivious to how bad the service was as well as the food was off putting. On top of it they didn't offer to own up to the bad service. We had to demand that we wouldn't pay a service charge (were they serious?) Overall terrible experience. Only come here if you are desperate!! read more

Not far away from Gloucester Road station this is a nice café, a bit pricey but really nice place to go and have brunch. As a tourist you do not know where to go so the hotel staff recommended it and we are glad we came here. We had brunch and it was simply delicious. The café has a bit of Mediterranean atmosphere. Definitely recommend coming here if you are in the neighbourhood! read more

Skip it. Eggs Benedict served on cold slice of sourdough bread (not toasted, not grilled), ham and Hollandaise both cold. Good coffee, polite service. read more

We were looking for a quick breakfast by Gloucester Road station and decided to try this place out. I do like a good deli. It's very modern and clean, especially compared to the fish & chip shop next door. It was reasonably busy on a Sunday morning, but a few tables were available and we got a table for 2 immediately. There seemed to be some people studying at some of the tables in the back. We were given menus but you order and pay up at the counter, and water is self-serve as well. As for the food, we got a vegetarian breakfast with grilled halloumi and an eggs royale. I didn't think the eggs royale was anything special, and definitely could not hold a candle to the one we had a Fait Maison Salon du The across the street a few weeks ago. The eggs were not properly poached, and were clearly cooked in a mold of some sort and only left a little bit runny. It was also drowned in sauce, which was entirely too much. The vegetarian breakfast was quite nice and included mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, eggs (either poached or scrambled), spinach and some toast. I also got an apple, ginger, and carrot juice that was made to order, and our vegetarian platter included some freshly squeezed orange juice as well. I thought these would have been better served with ice, as room temperature juices seem odd to me. The Americanos we got were pretty decent. But overall, the restaurant was quick and cheerful, though the food is not exactly stellar. read more

The place is nice .. I had my afternoon latte and I ordered A slice of carrot cake .. The coffee was good but the carrot cake was delicious . They have many different flavors of cakes and also they are serving sandwiches , You can set outside and enjoy the weather or even have a seat inside , like the store Design and specially the heart. Staff are friendly and lovely for a latte & cake it cost £7.26 .. read more

SO happy we stumbled on this during travel. Cute, casual, accommodating with both healthy and indulgent items. Friendly and efficient staff; spacious seating, and WiFi. It's easy to get lured into tourist traps here, but this was a welcome repast. The vegetarian breakfast was a perfect portion and tasty. read more

Very cute little restaurant. Ordered the eggs Benedict and my poached eggs was overcooked. Desserts are very good, but I won't be returning for breakfast. read more

Been here with my friend who took me to her beloved regular cafe Zack's :) the atmosphere was laid-back, so relaxing. And foods & coffee, i had Ginger bread loaf cake(not exact) with cappuccino which surprised me! Cappuccino looked a lot at first glance so i expected milky more like cafe latte but it was seriously great. The cake was like big chunk of dark brown sugar with a drizzle of ginger - thats definitely a compliment. You should stop by here if you look for a fantastic local that will get you the freshness you are longing for. read more

Good cake, and salad. There are wide space to seat. And Free wi-fi. Staffs are kindly and nice. I took salad and Red velvet cake and flat white, around 11 £ read more

Service poor, meals for same table delivered at different times. Inflexible with their menu. Their answer to any questions or complaints was "we're sorry, we're cooking eggs", which had no bearing on anything. Food was average at best and overly priced. read more

Honestly...this is probably the BEST restaurant I've been to in London. I can't believe it's not getting raving reviews. The Greek salad was the freshest and most beautiful salad I've ever had. The pasta carbonara, again, the best I've ever had...and I'm a picky eater. They have an Italian chef who made homemade noodles and sauce to die for. The Tiramasu...YUM! Actually, ALL the dessert looked amazing. The price...UNBELIEVABLY inexpensive. I'm not one to write reviews unless I am unbelievably happy. I wish we would have found this place a few days ago. I'm eating here again tomorrow, my last day here! read more

Having been here 4 times now (literally whenever I'm in Gloucester Road) I decided it deserves 5 stars. They do amazing cakes , frozen yogurt, coffee and tea, smoothies and every type of amazing nice meal you can think of and lots of lovely fresh salads. Can't rave about this place enough! read more

Cute place. Went on a Sunday morning, the place was pretty crowded. Just two people taking orders and serving. Took them around 5 minutes to hand me the menu, and then about 15 to take my order. A couple that came in a while after me, left without being attended, I can be extra patient but can understand and find unacceptable the waiting time. The coffee and the vegetarian eggs I ordered were nice, especially the cappuccino, good quality coffee. read more

I'm sitting in Zack's right now and have been for the last 40 minutes. We have finished a pot of tea and a coffee but still haven't got our food. I'll update this review if the food is good but otherwise there is no way we are coming back! Turns out now they have only got part of our order anyways. read more

Really lovely place! I can only speak to the breakfast foods & drinks, which are all wonderful, but I've heard good things about the lunch/dinner options from friends as well. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is really nice & comfortable, and it's my go-to place to get some work done. Definitely the best place to stop along Gloucester Road. read more

I had a wonderful fatoush salad with a vegetarian casserole (really a stew) along with an Apple/Carrot/Ginger freshly made juice. It was delicious! Also, a wonderful and friendly staff - I can't wait to go back. Very healthy and clean. Eat here everyday and add 10 years to your life =) read more

Yep - Consistently good food and friendly service. If you find yourself on Gloucester Road looking for convenience food (fresh juice, pastries, sandwiches, dessert) walk right past pret-a-manger and Starbucks. We have been to Zach's for breakfast at least three times during our two-week stay - and back several evenings for dessert! The food is consistently delicious. The staff does not rattle easily; I've got a demanding group! They are always courteous and professional. read more

The food was good but it was super expensive for what I got I paid 20 pounds for eggs on toast and a side of salmon but everything was TINY. Baby portions... not worth the cost and I'm still hungry read more

Small portions, OKish food, high prices, poor service (slow, forgotten orders). Just look elsewhere ..
