    Jalapeño margaritas
    Elsa S.

    The pizza is absolutely amazing. I've had the pizzas, salads, soups and sandwiches and I have enjoyed everything so far. They also have a full bar with beer, wine and the most amazing cocktails ever, both regular and seasonal. For breakfast, I recommend any of the pastries, especially the chocolate morning bun or Nutella twist, and the lattes are always on point. The service is amazing, the owner is very hands on and if there is any issue they are happy to fix it. Ambiance is great. They have a patio where the kids can play, and it's nice, and relaxing inside the restaurant. Definitely give them a try.

    This place is absolutely amazing! The freshest food in Kilgore and the service was top notch! I was in Kilgore for 4 days and stopped in every day and a couple of days twice. My only complaint was the days I was there they closed at 3 and so I had to eat dinner somewhere else...otherwise I would have only eaten at Zen's. They make their own syrups for lattes and cocktails (the lavender was delicious) the breads are all from scratch and everything was delicious. The decor is mid century modern but so cozy. My favorite mural says, "This is the place you want to be." This is definitely the place to be in Kilgore for your morning latte to dinner and cocktails

    Wonderful place with incredible pastries! I had the Nutella twist and the lemon blueberry scone.

    Smallcakes Longview - Inspo pic given to Smallcakes told double layer was not necessary and single layer would "look just like this one." Notice the edges.

    My name is Brooke and I was given the honor of being asked to be the "gender keeper" for a close…read morefriend. It was so important to me that the gender reveal cake be prefect that I went in person to Smallcakes, 5 days before I needed the cake, instead of just calling the order in. I took an inspo picture so there would be no "guess work" and the baker would have a constant imagine to refer to. After guarding this gender reveal, I was ecstatic to pick up the centerpiece of the entire reveal: THE CAKE! A photographer was hired to capture these precious seconds all eyes were going to be on the cake. The family had eagerly been waiting, and most importantly, the parents-to-be had spent weeks anticipating a glimpse of blue or pink. I was devastated when I saw the Smallcakes gender reveal cake; it was a fraction of the size! It was the size of my hand! I felt frustrated not because the representative was unable to offer a suitable solution so close to the reveal but because I was not heard or validated, had to pay $40 for a cake I couldn't use, and had to come up with another cake immediately so the entire gender reveal was not completely ruined! I work in customer service every single day; I work with the public and with brides. I may not always agree, but I ensure complete satisfaction and would gladly compensate a customer if warranted. In this case, I placed the order 5 days in advance, provided an inspo pic, and was assured that I didn't need a double layer because it would be as "big" as in the inspo pic. I still had to pay full price for a cake I couldn't use, had to go to multiple stores until I found a cake I could make work. I then had to scramble home, completely redo a cake, and make it into a presentable gender reveal cake prior to the parents-to-be arrival. This was a very stressful situation, nearly ruined by Smallcakes. A simple courtesy phone call is the only step needed if the baker was confused by the Smallcakes representative set when I was in the store. 1st pic is inspo pic baker had to refer to and assured that single layer would look "just like inspo pic." 2nd pic is actually cake that was quarter of size and size of my hand. The cake was the main event! 3rd pic is $130+ later going to different stores to find the right cake, icing, flowers, scraping of the top, piping and reicing and placing flowers. All could have been avoided if baker would have called. You can see from the plating the first 2 are on they are not the same size.

    Smallcakes Longview - What I actually got, Smallcakes was unconcerned. It was a quarter of the size. Look at the depth. Look at the plate. Frustrating!

When you walk in, you see the bakery, which is huge and has a lot of selections. There is a separate line for ordering food that was pretty long, but didn't take a lot of time to get to the front. Ordered the cheeseburger with a side of fries and drink. The burger itself was very juicy and was a very good portion. The buns were very soft and fresh. The fries were amazing. Very big and fresh. The topping bar was self serve, which was really nice. Are they in the mail? I decided to look at the bakery and went with the lemon pie. It was absolute perfection. I love lemon pies, and this was one of my favorites I've ever had. Just the right amount of sweetness, and the lemon was very prominent with each bite. Lots of holiday themed and fall themed cookies, cakes, and other pastries. I wish I could have tried everything. Overall, this place is a 10 out of 10. Please try to stop by if you're in the area!

They have a large selection of burgers, as well as raw meats and baked goods (from cookies to full sized cakes!). I ordered the turkey burger with a side of fries and a drink. The turkey burger was HUGE and not overly seasoned. The toppings bar was super clean and organized, and so many toppings to choose from! I liked how I can control how much of each topping I put on the burger. I absolutely loved the fries- I could tell they were super fresh. They were huge, and I liked how they weren't drowned in salt. Honestly, some of the best fries I have ever tried in my life!! The ambiance is so cozy! Tons of tables and booths. It was packed on a Sunday during the lunch time, but it was still manageable to find a table! 10/10 place for burgers in my opinion, and I can't wait to come back!
