I was between a 3 and 4 stars, but I'm in a generous mood, so... A friend and I thought it might be fun to make a day trip to Scranton, and found Zummo's through Yelp. Having read the previous reviews, I kinda assumed that it would be some kind of a "coffee nirvana." Well the environment is nice and cozy (I think while we were there, every single person who walked in knew somebody in the coffeehouse). The baristas were helpful, and were nice enough to allow my friend to get a small sample of their house best. We both got cappucinos, which were great, but nothing extraordinary, to be honest. We also ordered some bread pudding to share, which really was more like coffee crumb cake than bread pudding. It was yummy either way. Because the coffee didn't quite knock our socks off, we opted not to purchase any coffee roasts for home. But it was a great place, nonetheless. This definitely seems to be a town's favorite. read more

Cute place but my berry scone, although huge, had very few berries. My honey vanilla chai tea latte was very good. I understand the coffee is excellent. Tip to customers: people are trying to relax in a coffee house not listen to your crybaby political complaints. Keep your voice down. read more

Zummo's Cafe - Excellent honey vanilla chai but not many berries in the berry scone; it's more like a biscuit. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

We love this spot! It's our go-to rest stop on our treks between Brooklyn & Syracuse. Good coffee, good food and a really comfortable environment. read more

My favorite place to hangout and take care of business on my laptop and drink delicious, Electric City roast coffee! Accompanied by a great homemade scone. YUM! Just a comfy, cool place to hang. read more

If I could afford to go here everyday, I would. The staff is so friendly and the menu is never boring. Oh yah and their coffee and bakes goods are amazing! They have a facebook page that tells you their menu daily with the specials. I love this place and you will too! read more

Great little hidden gem of a café! Electric City 5 O'Clock is a fantastic local roast. Customer service was very friendly. A great place to chill with friends or do some work while on the road. Will definitely return when I get back to Scranton. Well done Zummo's! Well done! read more

This was a great cafe because the line was never long. The baristas were very quick and the place was relaxed. The food looked good, but I didn't get to try anything other than the vegan chocolate peanut butter volcano cake, which was good but super rich and very vegan-tasting. Probably shouldn't have ordered it. Thanks for making my double espresso so strong. It was tasty. read more

Cute, authentic cafe with decent fresh and homemade eats. The place had great potential but I feel like my mom and I arrived too early to properly enjoy the establishment. My mom and I were making a trip down to Harrisburg super early in the morning on a Saturday. We ended up arriving right when Zummo's opened at 6:30am. I was in desperate need for a coffee after waking up at 4am so I was looking forward to their various selections. After researching breakfast/coffee places in Scranton, I was excited to try this local business. I was surprised by the number of people there for the time and it still being dark outside. Upon walking in, the baked items looked delicious. Especially the glazed smothered cinnamon buns. Going up to order, the only person manning the place was the cook. Apparently the barista wasn't coming in until 7am. I really wanted a Irish Creme Latte in honor of St. Patrick's Day coming up but the chef did not know how to make it so I would have had to wait until 7 to get it... I didn't hold this against them since I saw a help wanted sign and figured they were understaffed. My mom and I each ended up with a Chai Tea Latte, which I thought was very good. It had a nice balance of sweetness and spice. My mom and I decided to try their ham, tomato and cheese quiche and a raspberry scone to split. The quiche, unfortunately, was cold even though it was freshly made by the cook. I wish it was heated up a little but the I felt bad with how much the woman was rushing to be too concerned with it. It had great flavor though with plenty of ham and tomatoes and it was a decent size slice for about $5. You could tell with the scone that the raspberries were fresh and the taste of it was delicious. Although, the bottom was burnt which ruined it a little, it turned out fine. Overall, I think this place had great potential and I hope to give it another chance in the future. The place itself was cute and homey with friendly staff. read more

Came back to my hometown after years away and was pleasantly surprised to find such a hip, low key place to relax and drink delicious coffee. I had iced black. It was smooth with the perfect hints of bitterness I enjoy. My cousin got coconut in hers and it was rather refreshing. Great ambiance, great staff, great coffee. Already planning on flying back from Phoenix just to hang out there again. read more

Good coffee... nice atmosphere. Solid! If find yourself in Scranton looking for a good, chill, light breakfast stop -I recommend. FYI- Not a full breakfast menu... cafe fare (breakfast sandwiches, pastires, etc). Excellent coffee. read more

I heard about this place from a friend and found myself in love. They still use Electric City Roasting coffee beans and they have a ton of options for drip and espresso coffee. They have organic roasts and all varieties of roast intensities. The food is made daily in small batches and I wasn't lucky enough to get the quiche I wanted but did get the sweet potato and black bean soup which was great. They also have an amazing range of desserts so don't get too full!! The place is actually big so don't be fooled by the outside. Good local artwork for sale on the walls! A great find. read more

Cute little cafe. Appreciate their menu which has expanded recently. Ordered pup cakes and they were a hit for my dogs birthday party

(4) ~ very good food & service. Note: it's located in what looks like a neighborhood house, but there's plenty of space in the other room. There's also plenty of parking across the street in the School Lot. And I believe they still have a "Clover" Brewing Machine,(before Starbucks bought the company:( but it's wasn't advertised and I didn't see it, so you may have to ask if it's still available...If it is I would advertise it b/c they make GREAT coffee;) MY MENU: ** Sausage, Kale & Cheddar Quiche = (4) very good ** Ham, Onion, & Apple Sandwich = (4) very good ** Organic Coffee = (4) very good. read more

Fantastic little coffee shop by Marywood University. Had the sweat potato veggie burger and it was delicious. If you are in the area, it's a no brainier stop in for lunch. read more

Top 3 best place to go in Scranton and its isn't 2nd it 3rd. They have options for multiple diets. The vegan food makes me forget that there isn't any animal products in it. The staff is friendly. Go here. Period. read more

Best cafe ever. I'm not a professional coffee drinker per say however I am a coffeeholic. My body literally craves only Zummo's coffee which is not a predicament I would wish on anyone, especially if you don't live in PA as a regular. What can I say 10^10 out of 10 stars, food buttery, coffee outfreaking standing...especially those peanut butter chocolate balls. ADDICTING. Anyways I love this place only thing I hate about it is that I legitimately crave their coffee and their coffee alone. Dunkin and Starbucks don't hit quite the same anymore read more

Super helpful staff, great selection, and free wifi! The latte I purchased was delicious and the music selection made sitting to get some work done online comfy and relaxing. It was a very clean and cute place for studying, hanging out with friends, or just grabbing a drink/snack to go! read more

I've been coming to zummos for a few years. I have to say their food and coffee has gone a bit south so to speak. Today I had the salad with black beans and chick peas. The ingredients were ok, but It was pretty bland and the dressing had little flavor. The soup was basil parm. It was filled with a ton of elbow noodles and very bland. I didn't even finish it. Their food could use a bit more flavor. It all sounded good, but the end product was lacking. As far as the coffee? It was bitter and burnt tasting, and it should have been much more velvety and smooth. I'm an avid fan of electric city roasting and buy the beans and grind it myself and I've never had a bad cup until today. I'm assuming it's not the beans. I hope it gets a little better because I used to love it here! read more

We like to stop into Zummo's on a Saturday or Sunday when we have time to relax and enjoy some awesome coffee and good food to go with it. Today it's chicken salad pitas and lattes - with some Electric City coffee beans to go. We only get to Zummo's every 2 or 3 months - and we savor it when we're here! read more

Friendly staff, delicious food/drinks, comfy environment, and ridiculously great prices. Wish they were open later!

Perfect oasis with wonderful baked goods and java. Spacious dining areas and a clean bathroom. A must see treasure for visits to Scranton.

Zummos is a very cute place! I went for breakfast on a Sunday with my sister. I got a coffee and a sausage egg and cheese sandwich. My sister got a pumpkin latte and a cup of oatmeal. They have a huge menu with many unique items including a lot of gluten free and vegan foods. They also have a great selection of coffees. The coffees my sister and I got were amazing as well as her oatmeal. However, I wasn't to found of my sandwich. It was very bland and was not hot when they serviced it to me. The sandwiches are pre-made and on display but they could do a better job of heating before serving. I will definitely be back to try some of their other items because so many things looked great! read more

Zummo's Cafe - Sunday morning breakfast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

The coffee is good and the vibe is cool but the ever changing food menu is a little off putting. They post it on Facebook several days a week but for me a lot of the combinations are really hit or miss. I'm not a big gluten free, vegan food fanatic but if that's your thing then you'll be happy here. But personally Roasted Brussels sprouts as the salad option are a hard pass for me. read more

I really want this place to be better than it really is. I like their quiche, but hate that it gets microwaved. Their coffee is good, but the service I had was lacking. I felt as though I was putting the girl at the counter out for ordering. Scranton needs a place like this, but needs service improvement. read more

Favorite little spot with plenty of room to relax and get some work done! Food is great, too!

I don't understand how this place could possibly have more than 3 stars. For starters, the way they even take your order is inefficient at best, two girls stand around doing nothing while one girl makes your entire order, which you will have to repeat when you go to pay. The strawberry banana smoothie would have been good for heating and putting on pancakes and little else. The raw veggie hummus wrap contained about 1/10 of the amount of hummus it should have and mostly all I ended up eating was a soggy sams choice vomit green tortilla. My friend had an iced coffee that was ok...but that's a little difficult to mess up... read more

As a former Batista Extraordinare and coffee lover, I can't believe I just discovered Zummo's. The coffee's phenomenal and the atmosphere is great. It's my favorite place to take a time-out during my work day. They also have candy and treats (i.e. plastic baggies of Sweedish Fish and a big chocolate chip cookie jar near the register), so it's a win-win. Their coffee is PERFECT in a French press. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. Some lady cut us in line, and when I mentioned it to the barista she just said sorry but continued to help the lady who cut us. Then we ordered a single and double latte which should be a 16 oz and a 20 oz respectively but we both got 16 oz. I called later to ask about the sizing and they were incredibly rude saying I didn't know what I was talking about even though I have worked in a coffee shop before. Will not go here ever again and will tell everyone I know not to go here because they do not know how to make coffee. read more

I love their coffee and it's great to know that the owner deals straight with the farms she gets the coffee beans from. I always grab a couple bags of blue moose whenever I go in there. read more

Really great teas and coffee. I loved the lightly sweetened rose tea I had there! I really like their peanut butter balls and the fact that they have vegan options available. I wish they had vegan sandwiches more often. read more

Very good earthy and wholesome food. I had an excellent turkey sandwich. Downside is what they have out is all they have. Several specials were sold out and only had two choices for food. Good but limited. read more

Husband and I used to love coming here and would do so several times a week. For the past year or so everything has gone downhill. There are still a few solid employees, but mostly not. The service is mediocre on a good day and today marks the millioneth time we have been given our order without food we paid for - which I suppose we should have double checked so maybe it's our fault for thinking they would be on top of it. Such a shame that this is happening. Have heard (and tasted) how a lot of the coffee/specialty drinks have been tasting burnt more often as well. Hopefully one day they get their act together again. read more

Great coffee and a really good chicken salad pita. Lots of seating options, so this was just what we needed to warm us up on a cold day.

Used to come here a lot when the previously owners had it. It's not the same. I ordered a bacon cheddar scone 3.50 it wasn't good i don't think the batter was mixed. Desserts and sandwich don't look nearly as appetizing as the used to. In the past few weeks I was charged three different prices for a refill of coffee. $1.00, $2.25, $2.50. On a hot day I was in the back room it was warm I checked the thermostat it was Off and room temp was at 77. I asked the counter girls they said they aren't allowed to touch it. Coffee is still good ( only because the buy from previous owner). But it's not the places to sit and enjoy something to eat. Not sure if it was the warmth but a lot of flies in the back room. read more

Where do I even begin? You walk in and instantly cannot believe the menu of coffee selections as well as the mouth watering baked goods. The place is huge and I am a fanatic of outdoor seating. I have found a new place for coffee because the coffee is AMAZING. I am not a big fan of chain restaurants or coffee places and I love to get a real cup of coffee. And the scones are HUGE and filling! Please go here! Everything is a must try! You will not be disappointed!! read more

Lovely coffee shop with generous seating. It feels like a house, open for friends, though perhaps it started as a shoe-repair shop. Which is what the photos on the wall with the name ZUmmo's suggest. Here's my actual experience after the first visit. My left semi-butt got tired from seating and napping on the couch, so I did yoga on the porch. I had a lovely chat with Honduran and Peruvian students from Marywood, who guarded my bag during yoga. There was a bike rack to park my bike. View outside: kids playing basketball, then ladies parking and heading for the Mission Yoga nearby. Quiche was amazing. Coffee was yummy. I got work done. Cannot imagine a better coffee shop. read more

Service is very good, coffee is ridiculously good. Place is extremely nice. Seating in front and rear.

About a year ago Clover sold their state-of-the-art coffee brewing machine to Starbucks. Until that point, only around 150 of the brewing systems were sold worldwide to cafes and coffee enthusiasts - Zummo's Cafe owns one of them. For this reason, Zummo's is on the coffee map. Zummo's sells coffee roasted by their sister company, Electric City Roasting. Every week Zummo's offers about six or seven different coffees to be brewed via Clover. Do yourself a favor and TRY CLOVER COFFEE. It may, very well, change your life - even if you don't drink coffee. The Clover coffee system brews coffee like nothing else. They also offer typical espresso and desert drinks as well as a great breakfast and lunch menu. Most everything at Zummo's is homemade, and, boy, can you taste it. Safe go-to's are the chicken salad wrap (has cranberries) and the breakfast sandwich. Make sure to see what homemade soup is offered that day - it's a good size for your money and is usually very tasty. Zummo's cares very much about coffee - ask if any coffee cuppings are being offered soon. They normally hold free cuppings once a week. read more

Zummo's is a bastion of coffee excellence. One of the only places I've been where a clover machine still makes the best cup of coffee, Zummo's is a must for anyone in Scranton. read more

This is by far the best place to get coffee in Scranton. The atmosphere is modern, and the staff is friendly and warm. Even though I was completely new and so obviously lost, the staff joked with me and helped me feel welcome. Inside of the older looking building face, you find a large, aesthetically pleasing coffee shop. Of course, no one comes to a cafe simply for its design. Fortunately, the offerings do not disappoint. The food is brilliant, and extremely fresh. I had an orange (and I believe cranberry) scone. For my beverage, I chose the traditional Pumpkin Spice Latte because of my familiarity with Starbucks coffee. However, as opposed to Starbucks, I found that almond milk WAS an option. I've been asking for this at Starbucks for YEARS! The espresso in the coffee tasted very fresh, and the flavor of the Pumpkin Spice did not overtake the coffee flavor. It was not extremely sugary like Dunkin Donuts more often than not is, and it's flavor was not masked by the overpowering flavors of Starbucks syrups. This is my new favorite coffee shop when I'm in Scranton. read more
