    Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful ambiance! The restaurant is very kid-friendly, making it a great choice for families. You can make reservations by phone, or book online if you prefer outdoor seating. The restaurant has a beautiful, modern design that creates a welcoming atmosphere. Our waiter was attentive and thoughtful, checking on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious, and we had a great overall experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Zinc is one of the many restaurants available in Old Town Orange. What sets it apart is the ambiance, daily-made bakery items, and menu offering largely vegetarian options. While I have not eaten their breakfast items, I've tried a few lunch/dinner items including sandwiches, burgers, salads, and pizza. My favorite item is the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich paired with truffle fries. I also enjoy their iced rosemary latte. Pro tip: Be sure to make a reservation if you plan on visiting during brunch time on the weekend. Outdoor seating is exclusively for reservations during that time.

    Nice to see this old, had been vacant for a while building put to use. Service was nice, seated in outside area, not the courtyard but around the side. Fairly basic menu(not in a bad way) with the occasional twist. Food presentation and flavor were great, no complaint's. Solid brunch.

    bacon gruyere omelet with potatoes

    This cool restaurant is located in a historical building; it once housed the Sunkist Orange County Fruit Exchange. There is patio seating and a limited amount of interior seating. The interior is an interesting combo of retro and modern feel. We chose to sit inside and I immediately felt relaxed and comfortable here. We came for brunch on a Monday and were seated immediately. Our charming waitress was very friendly and offered excellent recommendations when trying to make decisions between various options. I decided on the Bacon Gruyere Omelet and an Arnold Palmer to drink. The omelet was made with 3 eggs, so was good-sized, wrapped around gruyere cheese, avocado, and applewood bacon. A slice of avocado, a piece of bacon, and a large dollop of sour cream sat on top. It was delicious! If you love gruyere cheese you will be happy with this. It came with a side and I chose potatoes. These big, mouth-watering chunks of fried potatoes had a fantastic seasoning. I normally never finish breakfast potatoes but every piece of these vanished. The Arnold Palmer was a bit weak in both lemon and tea flavor but was still enjoyable. This is definitely in my top places to eat in the Orange Circle area.

    Just visited zinc cafe recently with my girlfriend and it was a very nice brunch spot. Very nice inside and the outside seating was also a very nice spot to enjoy the weather and the atmosphere outside. The salmon Benedict was very good and well worth the price and our server was very kind and help with the menu as it was our first time. I Forgot to take a photo of the New York cheesecake but that's was a 10/10 as well. They had a lot of options when it came to desserts or bake goods that I would wish to try later on.

    Zinc Club Sandwich with soup of the day.

    I'm always going on long walks around downtown Orange and I've passed this cafe numerous times. I finally decided to stop by and I'm glad I did! They have great patio seating and everything on the menu sounded so good it was hard to make a decision. We ended up going with the Zinc Club sandwich with a cup of the soup of the day. It was delicious and very fresh the bacon and fresh tomatoes were the star but the soup of the day was actually really good. If I remember correctly it was called California harvest or something like that, it was hearty and flavorful. My wife got the Thai chicken salad and that was also a great choice. Super fresh and refreshing and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Service was good and the ambience was great. Especially the patio on a beautiful sunny California day! I'm looking forward to my next visit already :)

    Came for brunch today and had a lovely time! Zinc is located in Old Town Orange about a block away from the main circle in the old fruit exchange building. There's a bunch of street parking around the area (mainly paid via Park Mobile), but it can get filled up depending on when you come. The restaurant is really cute with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and you can make reservations online so definitely take advantage of that. Service was good, the staff was super friendly and quick to seat us, however the wait time for our food was definitely on the longer side. That being said, all the food was totally worth the wait. Their Baja fish tacos were delicious, with the fish being fresh, crispy, and flavorful. The French toast was great as well, and the Middle Eastern breakfast being another standout. The food is on the pricier side, but for the vibes, quality, and flavor I'd say it was worth the treat. Definitely one of the better Zinc locations I've visited, and I will absolutely be back for brunch and dinner again. There's a lot to choose from in the Old Town Orange area, and Zinc is definitely up there on the list!

    Dill cream cheese on an everything bagel with onions, two shreds of salmon and cucumber, served as a sandwich. For $22

    Highly recommend Never dining here. Upon checking in we shared we had a reservation and were asked to wait a bit. We were then offered a spot directly in the sun, and they refused to offer an umbrella, so we declined. We were then offered a micro table in the Bar...so we opted to wait longer for a suitable spot. Thirty minutes later, we met our server, Leo who accidentally placed our drink orders to a different table, and got our food order wrong. We never saw him again. Had to flag down other employees for ranch, water, and the bill. We all agreed the coffee and matcha were the worst we've ever had. The $22 lox bagel was laughable -- my friend could barely eat any of it -- and to top it off, we were charged for a drink that should've been comped. The curbside appeal of this place is pretty, but the experience is pretty ugly.

    First of all it's a great location! It's in Old Town Orange so you can walk around after enjoying a brunch. The restaurant also has a great aesthetic! Defines recommend sitting outside when it's sunny; inside seating is nice- it's warm and cozy! For parking, you usually just street park. I went on a Saturday morning and there were still lots of street parking. Inside the restaurant is like a bakery, they have pastries and sweets that you can also order or take togo. The food was enjoyable! I really liked the Zinc benedict and recommend you try it if you try this cafe. It tastes fresh and the benedict was made nicely! The Zinc sandwich was fine (nothing great but not bad). The bread was a bit harder but the meat inside tasted good! My favorite was actually the fries! They are thinly sliced and seasoned perfectly. It's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. We also ordered a Zinc sunrise and I really liked it! The peach taste in it was sweet and I recommend this drink (it is nonalcoholic). We were seated quickly but the service was a bit slow, so if you are solo dining or looking for a quick brunch, it might not be for you. However, if you are going with friends and aren't in a rush, you could definitely stop by!

    Truffle fries
    Denise T.

    I've dined here twice for brunch with my husband and three year-old daughter and both times we had a blast. We always elect to sit inside, but they do have a pretty nice outdoor patio when the weather is pleasant. My absolute favorite things here are the super crispy double fried truffle fries and their bacon onion white pizza. Highly recommend! Other honorable mentions are the zinc Benedict and French toast. They also make really great salads. High chairs are available for the little ones. If you're looking for a cute little place to have brunch, look no further. zinc café is the perfect place for that!

    Middle Eastern Breakfast
    Kenna P.

    I love this place and 100% recommend. The rosemary latte is always so good and the Middle Eastern Breakfast is my favorite. I've only ever been for brunch, but it hits every time. Sitting outside here is peaceful, too.

    Maddy F.

    A local recommended this restaurant to us and we were very happy with the suggestion. It is a beautiful building with a very welcoming atmosphere and staff. Menu is simple but everything we tried was good. Loved their drinks and their bread pudding is good enough to return for more. Loved discovering this little gem in Old Town Orange

    Had such a great experience at Zinc! Loved everything from the building to decor to the food and the mimosa flight. It was great! Open daily from 7am-9pm this is situated of the Orange Circle. We ordered the eggs Benedict, chilaquiles and the asparagus and mushroom omelet and split them amongst 3. We were all excited at how flavorful everything was. Our server was so nice. Derick came over and pooped our cork and pour us our champagne. They use Bianchi brand which is so smooth, bubbly and tasty. Will definitely be back. Pricing is a little higher then other places. Definitely a must if you are in the area. Can't wait to go back and try their Dinner menu.

Very fun themed glassware. Presentations were beautiful and well thought out. Our server did a great job at recommending drinks that built on top of the previous one. Food- the weakest part of the experience. While certainly not bad however when compared to the rest of the experience it just was a bit lacking. The Loco Moco looked very nice. The patty was quite dry though. Yes there's gravy but that's not an excuse for a dry patty. Mac salad was very nice. Stowaway fries were fun and tasty. It is smothered in gravy so be prepared to lose the crispy fries about halfway into the dish. All in all I (and my wife and kids(before7) and weird Uncle Joe) will be back.

They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

I really liked the clarified strawberry drink, similar to strawberry and cream. I ordered a drink after that unfortunately forgot the name (photo attached with a tall glass) but there was no special cocktail craft taste to it. Just hard liquor taste and undrinkable :( the bartender kindly offered another drink. Unfortunately none of the food was the least bit good. Steak and fries was ordered medium rare and cooked to medium well with what seemed like no seasoning was on there at all. Crab cake was just ok and the slaw beneath it was drenched in a vinaigrette that was just sour and unpleasant. And the Mac and cheese, as we were very hopeful and looking forward to, was probably the blandest Mac and cheese we ever had. We asked the lady bartender for salt and she handed us, no exaggeration (and you guys will probably think I am) a salt shaker with 10 grains of salt in it and said "looks like there's a lil something you could still get out of there" My jaw dropped. But yeah. The shredded meat on top of the Mac and cheese was cooked beyond the point of edible. That one was unfortunately sent back bc we just couldn't eat it. We were bummed over all mostly about the food.

    Do you guys remember the infamous rainforest cafe that used to be at Disneyland? Well this place…read moregave those vibes and I really miss rain forest! This was such a gem of the place. The inside was decorated all throughout and made you feel like you were truly in a different place. It's dim, intimate and gave such a cool atmosphere! I heard this place is hard to get a reservation but one of my girlfriends was able to snag one the week prior! The inside of the restaurant is a smaller establishment so I can see why reservations would be difficult. They have a plethora of drinks! Mostly specializing in specialty rum cocktails. Ordered the ritual of the Queen which was a specialty drink with tequila and coconut rum. Very delicious! For food our table shared the Loco Moco and chicken katsu. Both delicious! There is also another smaller bar area behind closed doors that give speak easy vibes. I'm not sure how or if this place accommodates big groups as the tables are good for maybe 4-6 people. I'd definitely come back her

    Omg what a fun place! We came with my brother who had been wanting to return to this place for…read moremonths now and it wasn't until he came to visit and made the reservation that we came back. We had such a great time! Starting with the service, wonderful! The hosts are happy folks, with a bright smile. We were immediately greeted and seated, even though the party arrived separately. It was wonderful to get the freshness of the ac instead of waiting outside in the heat. As you enter the decor is so fun and captivating. The servers are super friendly and welcoming and they have so many drink options. The food is good and they did mention they have a rotating menu that changes for the season! We enjoyed everything, and it was fun to see everyone's drink as it arrived. You do have a timeframe, so we were bummed when it was almost time to go because we were really enjoying our time there, but good reason to come back again!
