Food: Mouthwatering variety on plate
The Breakfast Burrito, Pesto Brown Rice Bowl, and Chicken Avocado Sandwich prove to be crowd favorites at Cafe Zella. With a menu diversely put together, the creativity in every dish is praised. The taste is described as delicious, hitting the mark with every forkful. The freshness of the ingredients is evidently admired with generous portions breathing life to the concept of value. However, some patrons feel the delights on the plate don't exactly justify the dent in their wallets.

- 3
Pesto Brown Rice Bowl
Amazing pesto, filling, with a pleasant nutty flavor and nicely cooked rice.
Vibe: Cramped, hot and unpleasant
The ambiance of Cafe Zella leaves much to be desired. The not-so-well-ventilated space creates a discomforting heat, compounded by the close proximity of tables. The outdoor seating, supposedly a breath of fresh air, is akin to dining in a parking lot with a view of a dumpster. The drink selection remains average, trying hard to lift the otherwise dampened spirits.
Okay Drinks
Good drink menu selection, but prices considered average.
Bad Ambiance
Not well ventilated, hot, sparse decor, tables too close together.
Perks: Kid unsuitable but diets abound
The service at Cafe Zella brings back some much needed positivity. Staff is praised for their friendliness and the quick service they offer. The parking situation is a bit of a mixed bag, with a small parking lot but available street parking. The restaurant isn't exactly kid-friendly or clad for groups but impressively caters for many dietary restrictions.
Great Service
Staff consistently praised for friendliness, quick service, and welcoming atmosphere.
Okay To Park
Small parking lot usually full, street parking available as alternative.
Bad For Kids
Difficult to navigate with a stroller; not accommodating for families.
