    Beet latte + shot of espresso
    Sarah S.

    This is a drink / atmosphere rating only! They offer food items but we did not get anything to eat during our visit. Upon entering, the staff sings "Welcome to Zava". They are super nice and welcoming. The drink menu at 1st glance looked great but I quickly realized it didn't seem like they were super educated on crafting coffee / matcha / etc type of beverages. I was excited that they had a house-made vanilla syrup however, it was slightly underwhelming. I wish it had more flavor! The beet latte was ok but it didn't seem like it was high quality beet powder (I didn't ask so I don't know this for sure...just going purely off of looks/taste). I did leave he building and then go back in to request some cold foam be added to my iced latte to add some flavor. I had to wait while they prepared the people dining in's order before they would simply add cold foam to my drink. The cold foam was not made properly and they tried to charge me an extra $5 at first until I questioned the additional charge. I did like the inside aesthetic. They have minimal indoor seating but do have a nice window bar. There were 2-3 employees there but only 1 of them seemed to be doing all the work. It wasn't an awful experience- they tried to be personable but it just wasn't for me so I probably won't be back. I think their concept but they just need to work on the execution!

    Blueberry Mojito

    Great evening at Zava Cafe during our recent visit to Milton DE. Loved the Blueberry Mojito and my Cod fish special. Also loved the shared apps of fried calamari and fried green tomatoes. All the food was eaten so fast that I didn't get any pictures. The only dish that was a bit of a disappointment was the paella. It didn't have Spanish/yellow rice and had too much liquid. The seafood in it was great, just wouldn't call it a paella. More like a seafood stew with rice.

    Great variety on the menu! Fresh ingredients made for a very nice lunch. Friendly service too. Glad we stopped by this quaint gem!

    What's not to like here? Very relaxed vibe, great menu with clearly marked vegan and gluten free options. I'm so glad I finally stopped in. Not to mention they open at 7am some days for all us early birds. The fact that it was a Sunday and I was in there with hardly anyone around and parked in one of three spots across from them at 8am was magical. Sometimes you want to be out and about but still have some quiet. The server was attentive and friendly. My order came out exactly as it was ordered. The steak and eggs was delicious. Anytime I see that in a menu I just have to have it! Those potatoes were to die for! I'm still thinking about them. The music was great, I love a good reggae playlist. I also really appreciate how mellow the lighting is. Harsh or super bright lighting feels so chaotic. I'm glad this place doesn't feel like the lighting aisle at Home Depot. Oh, also they have great mocktails. The "No"jito is great for those like me who like a more herbal flavor. 10/10

    Fantastic place for coffee and breakfast sandwiches if you happen to be passing through Milton, DE on your way to or from Rehoboth Beach. My two teenage sons were hungry and really enjoyed their breakfast sandwiches in the car on our drive home to the Washington DC area. On the plus side, the service was prompt in a clean cafe setting. It looks like a nice spot to catch up on work or to meet a friend. However, one downside is that street parking may be difficult to find during peak hours. Also, please note that the breakfast sandwiches are homemade and can take 10 minutes or so to prepare - so if you're in a rush, I would stick with the coffee. Danio Somoza and Thaina Bittencourt opened this cafe in December 2022 with a second location in Rehoboth Beach. Both spots were sold to a new owner (Preston Russell) in February 2024. I imagine this cafe will be a "go-to" brunch destination for years to come.

    Best Bloody Mary I've had out.
    Karen S.

    Charming brunch spot with great ambiance. Felt warm and welcoming as soon as we stepped inside. Service was good, but the food was the real star. Had the Fresco Bowl and added chorizo. Perfectly balanced dish and fresh. Best cup of coffee I've had in a very long time, and the Bloody Mary rivaled my husband's, which is saying a lot. Can't wait to return!

    Great atmosphere

    An unexpected joy. In downtown Milton you'll find Zava Cafe a just under a year old eatery serving breakfast and dinner. We stumbled upon it and had a sumptuous breakfast of mixed berry and mascarpone French toast and robust cups of coffee. Beautiful ("pretty" said my wife) interior and friendly service. We'll be back for dinner.

    Came here for the first time to get breakfast and will definitely be returning. The portions are small but food tastes great and is filling. I recommend the Fresca breakfast bowl as a safe choice for those who are indecisive. The staff was friendly and inviting, welcoming every person in. The ambiance was our favorite part; the lighting was perfect, the decor was unique, and the outdoor seating option compliments the setting well.
