It is a wonderful breakfast (and lunch) place with ample seating and exceptional food. The restaurant does get busy and crowded around lunch time so get there early. Everything on their menu looks great and our group ordered four separate plates and all of us loved them. Great place overall for a quick bite! read more

I usually come to Zoi's for lunch, but I was in the area this morning and decided to try breakfast. I ordered the "Triple Double" on a plain wrap with bacon. The customer service was great, as always. Unfortunately, the breakfast wrap didn't feel worth the $11.79 price in my opinion. Overall, I think I'll stick to lunch at Zoi's going forward. Happy holidays! read more

Thank you, Yelp, for steering me to this sandwich shop while visiting Yale. It's a cute, cheery place with kind service and exceptionally good food! I left with half of my sandwich because the portions were so large, and those sweet potato fries - so yummy! My mouth is watering just thinking about my gluten-free sandwich. read more

Wonderful lunch spot! After seeing the 30-35min wait time when you order online I decided to walk right in. The service was friendly and prompt and I only had to wait a few minutes for my delicious warm grain bowl! I got the special of the day which was a Gyro bowl- it was amazing. Will return again and again. No wonder this place is always so busy! read more

I needed a place to get some early coffee and breakfast, and this turned out to be the perfect choice.

Was not what we expected. Counter service , very pleasant. Very clean. Wide mouth sandwich was not great. Needed to be toasted more. The scone did not seem fresh. Paper cup self serve hot drinks. read more

We've been to Zoi's twice now--once for breakfast and once for lunch, and both times were fantastic. The food is hearty, homemade, and delicious, the kind that makes you feel instantly at home. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. My daughter is a slow reader and we do not want to hold the line up. The owner take our order by hand so we do not have to go back and wait in line another time. This is the kind of spot you want to keep coming back to, and we definitely will be soon! read more

While visiting New Haven we stopped in for an early breakfast at Zoi's. The parking was fine on the street at 9am but I expect that the parking would be difficult on the street at a later hour. Luckily, there is a garage across the street. Zoi's is a very charming local restaurant, friendly, handsome and clean and nicely lit. Nice college vibe too. They take your order from the front counter and promptly deliver it to your table. I had the Sweet Pete: Bacon, eggs, cheese with caramelized onions on pumpernickel bread breakfast sandwich which was savory and fresh. My wife had a simple combo with the best home fries she's ever had - and considering we are active tristate diner goers, that is a major compliment. The coffee was fresh and rich. We're rarely in the area but I know we'll return to sample the extensive menu. read more

Stopped in after jury duty for lunch. I celebrated for not being chosen for a case. Had a simple grilled cheese that was delicious, came with a pickle and a side of potato salad. All was good and the price was perfect. Loved the environment, spacious plenty of room to pick the perfect table, had a few outdoor tables and a patio. Service was wonderful, plenty of staff to keep the lines moving all greeted you with a smile. read more

Food is delicious! Fast, and kind service. Lots of space for seating. Ordered sandwiches to go for a picnic and they held up great.

Tried this spot for the 1st time via UberEats. And I must say they had me at Thanksgiving on a roll. The sandwich was so good the flavors of the turkey, stuffing and Cranberry sauce came together so perfectly. The salad was filled with hearty spring mix and the grilled chicken was very good. Order was delivered in proper fashion. Will try to stop in the store front and check out more lunch options from Zoi on Grove! read more

Amazing food for such great value!! The sandwiches and soup are so good We got the #2 Smoked Turkey with chipotle Mayo as a wrap and #11 chicken Cutlet with pesto with panini. Both are delicious, but I would recommend panini because it's served as a hot pressed sandwich. We also got the mushroom barley soup and it was really flavorful. Exactly what I needed on a cold day. Lots of people in the shop got their breakfast/brunch dishes. Definitely would like to try them the next time I'm in town. read more

Such a nice breakfast or lunch spot for casual dining. I've stopped in for lunch and had take out for breakfast a couple times now.

Been a fan of Zoi's since they were at the Orange St location. Love the new spot right on Grove St, but I'm glad that it still feels like the same Zoi's. The only thing better than their food is the customer service. Always top notch and has me ready to support whenever I'm downtown. I generally go for breakfast. You can't go wrong with any of the breakfast sandwiches, but the Lumberjack has a special place in my heart. Maybe because I could eat it and not be hungry for the rest of the day. read more

Great spot to stop for breakfast/lunch if your in the area. Seems to be extremely convenient if you need a break in the middle of your work day or even for students. I wish I worked in the area because I would definitely stop in every week! You go up to the counter to order and can easily get the food to go, or have a seat and they'll bring it to you. It was not a long wait at all which was great. All the food seemed to be fresh. I got the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast which was fairly good. Not the greatest I've ever had, but good enough where I would get it again. I also tried the Greek salad, ingredients were very fresh and they give you a nice size block of delicious feta cheese. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is great! They seem to enjoy what they're doing! I would also say the prices are very fair. I will definitely be back, hoping to try one of the lunch sandwiches next time. read more

Good food, super busy and often a line to order your food. The food was well prepared although the corn chowder seemed to have been made with canned corn (oh no) bread. Parking lot was full but on street parking was easy to find. I'd go again read more

It's always fun when I'm downtown and around the corner to head to Zoi's on Orange. This time around, I had jury duty which is daunting so needed a pick me up. I got an egg & cheese sandwich with spinach, avocado & caramelized onions on a croissant for only $5. The best part is they don't charge you extra for avocado which is awesome!! The young lady behind the counter who's usually the person that rings me out is so sweeettttt, no matter if it's in the morning or evening. However, one of the other wait staff was extremely RUDE to me this time around. She was by the coffee and I asked her very politely if they had hot water. Instead of turning around and answering me, she keeps doing what she's doing and taps on the hot water knob (which she was standing in front of btw) and said, "it's right here". Her rudeness caught me off guard and I fired back by saying "umm whoaaa" and walked away to the other young lady behind the counter. The rude wait staff then decided to change her attitude by saying once again, oh the hot water is right here. I rolled my eyes and told her yea I got it now. The owner was right there speaking to someone so I'm sure he overheard or at least saw this transpire. I try to give individuals who work in customer service the benefit of the doubt but her attitude was disgusting and very much uncalled for. SIGH! read more

Wow wow wow! I enjoyed this so much I ordered it two days in a row. I tried this both on a hard roll and a wheat wrap! I'm more of a wrap girl so I definitely prefer the wrap over the hard roll. I paired with sweet potato fries which you can never go wrong with! The way these flavors come together with the chipotle Mayo was a mouthful of awesomeness! There are so many items on the menu so I cannot wait to go back and try more! 0-10, definitely recommend! read more

My brother in law ordered a bagel sandwich and the bread was moldy and they had to replace it, they didn't offer refunds.

Good sandwich place and it's popping! I went here on a weekday lunch and this place was PACKED with customers. I can tell it's definitely a favorite here in New Haven. I ordered a pesto chicken sandwich on dutch crunch bread. It's pretty hard to mess up a sandwich so of course, I was happy with what I got. The serving was huge and I was able to split my sandwich into two meals. The sandwich comes w a pickle slice on the side, if you're into that. The bread was crunchy, the chicken was juicy, and the pesto was just oozing out of the sandwich. Definitely a good sandwich. It did take a while for my order to be finished, but it came out within a reasonable time. They were also really busy so they tried their hardest to get everything out fast. read more

My favorite place to go after a long night out. Zoi's is your classic diner food but make it less greasy and healthier. My absolute favorite thing to get there is the sweet potato fries - definitely get them, and they're pretty inexpensive!! The pancakes are also delicious and a generous portion. The egg platters are not bad but nothing special. The bagel sandwiches are fine, but nothing incredible relative to other New Haven bagel places. There's usually always seating available. In terms of lunch, the salads are fine, but nothing extraordinary. The staff is so sweet and helpful! read more

Quick friendly service in a cute location with a good amount of indoor seating. Street parking. They serve breakfast and lunch. I got a bacon egg and cheese on toasted bread (I think they skipped the toasted step because you could hardly tell). I picked pumpernickel bread to switch it up.The boy got a kahuna sandwich which basically is a breakfast sandwich with all the components of breakfast on it, he liked his a lot. We both split a fry which came out fresh and hot. Looked like they had a pretty good specials list (posted here) that id like to try another day. Coffee was just OK! read more
