    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.

    bacon gruyere omelet with potatoes
    Timmy S.

    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 :)

    Middle Eastern Breakfast

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Zinc Benedict Zinc Club Sandwich Zinc Sunrise 16oz

    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!

    Zinc Tiramisu
    Innas I.

    I've ordered twice for pick up now. It's slowly becoming one of my favorite carry-outs. Their menu has a large range of items to choose from. Today, I fell in love with the tiramisu. The fact I was also able to order it with a burger and pizza. The burger is good, personally the truffle mushroom burger had a little too much mushroom for me, so I recommend the regular cheeseburger. The only downside here, you're gonna have to hunt for parking. But otherwise, it's been a tasty, convenient dinner option so far.

    Came back to Old Towne Orange with friends for another round of eating, drinking, and wandering and of course, we had to stop by Zinc Café & Bar, a spot I stumbled upon last year and instantly fell in love with. This place sits right inside the Plaza Historic District, an area that used to be the heart of Orange County's early citrus industry. The building itself was built in 1922 and originally housed the Sunkist Orange County Fruit Exchange, yes, actual vintage orange history! Zinc moved into this gorgeous building around 2023 as I remembered, and considering their first-ever location opened in Laguna Beach back in 1988, we came in with slightly higher expectations... and the vibes definitely delivered. They've got a cozy patio where sunlight falls in just right, surrounded by a bit of greenery, perfect for slow brunch moments. Inside, they kept the original high ceilings and huge windows, and there's even a small bar area you can reserve for private events. Overall, it's giving that chic, modern American brunch energy without being too fancy. Totally the type of place you go to for coffee, tea, and long conversations. We went all in on brunch and ordered: * Middle Eastern Breakfast * Asparagus & Mushroom Omelet (with potatoes) * Avocado Toast * Baja Fish Tacos * Shrimp Tacos * Cappuccino * Mocha * Matcha Latte * Passion Fruit Iced Tea * Latte with lavender syrup Food was solid, portions were big--we were stuffed. Service was friendly and chill. They checked on us just enough without hovering, which I really appreciated. After brunch, we walked around Old Towne to admire all the Halloween decorations, people here go all out! Zinc Café & Bar 195 S Glassell St, Orange, CA 92866

    Zinc Benedict
    Ambereen A S.

    Came here for brunch with a group of friends to celebrate bdays. Tucked in a beautiful old town Orange. Loved this area a lot. They have many cute restaurants and stores to check out. We were given a very private room with the bar. They have enough seating outside giving it a very chic California vibe! Our server was a bit too friendly maybe even a bit chummy. We got a few things. Mine was vanilla latte which I really liked. I also got Chilaquiles with hard poached eggs. Honestly I didn't like mine at all. Too bland and nothing tasted well enough to recommend. The eggs were cold which I'm not a fan. Got their Zinc Benedict and they were out of smoked salmon which they asked we substitute it for extra eggs. So beside the vibe and coffee I don't have much to say. May have to go again and order something different!!

When making reservations a $25 deposit is required per person but will be applied to your bill day of visit. The hostess was very kind upon check in and took us to the back where the 46 door is. She provided us a code and explained the time limit along with house rules. We were then told to knock on the door and proceed with the experience. Kudos to the owner as this is the only speakeasy in the OC that has a true speakeasy feel entrance. They had a gentleman open the peephole and ask for the entry code. Once we said the code we entered a really cool mine shaft area. The attention to detail was on point and I was impressed! We were then taken upstairs to a private bar where there are four tables of four so a max of 16. This makes sense as to why reservations are hard to come by. The only ding about seating is you are sat with strangers it is not a private table. Luckily we had a fun older couple at our table so it made the conversation more lively. Otherwise don't go here with an expectation of an intimate/ private date night. They also offer a limited food menu but looked very promising. However, we were here for a night cap so just dabbled in drinks. The bartender had a seasonal menu of 4 cocktails he created. He explained the drinks and then had us try each one with a straw. We then placed our order based on what we liked. He did say if we were not a fan he could create us our own personal cocktail as well. The old fashion he created was phenomenal! Overall, a cool little spot in the OC. Do wish they were open later as they do close at 11pm on Friday and Saturday.

The attempt made for the ube and pandan were more of a trend following technique rather than a true love in creating something delicious. It was a disappointment.

If you want just cute pictures and just a great ambiance then you'll be fine coming here. I was between giving 2 and 3 stars for this place. I can't deny this was a cute place. $45 a setting... I didn't see the value. I think this place would be better for just pure brunch rather than tea.

They cook it perfectly and their french fries are seasoned to perfection. Wait staff is top-notch, they definitely take care of your table while not hovering over you. One thing of note, they have great iced tea. Bottom line? If you are in town and looking for a good lunch that won't break the bank, I highly recommend public legacy, and make sure you get the burger!

They made us feel super comfortable and it was so so fun talking to them. I ordered the nina fresa which is their strawberries & cream drink, and WOW it was delicious! I love a fruity sweet drink and that definitely hit the spot. I ordered two!! I don't remember what my friends got but they were good as well. We also got a creme brulee for a birthday and it was delicious and perfectly caramelized. Overall such a great and memorable experience, and definitely one of my favorite speakeasies I've been to!

Had reservations for a party of four (made via online) and was seated right away. Ambiance is dark and intimate but seating was enough to feel like you had room. Drinks were delicious and strong and service was great and quick. You are limited to eating and drinking within a certain time frame but it's not bad as the servers are on it. Drinks 10/10 and food 10/10. I'm still craving their burger, one of the best ones I have had, I can't even compare it to anywhere else. Bathrooms are located outside of the speakeasy.

The best part of Strong Water is the immersive experience you feel sitting inside. We sat in the Captain's quarters which was an intimate spot for great conversation. Our waiter was very friendly and gave plenty of options. We opted for the Crispy Tuna Appetizer which unfortunately was not good at all. The tuna and toppings were okay but the crispy rice tasted like fried fair food almost with the texture of a rice cake. Hopefully, their other dishes are better. For drinks, the waiter helped select the Banana Batida for me which was very lovely! I love how customized the recommendations were. My partner ordered a rum drink which he enjoyed as well. We finished off with a brownie dessert. I really enjoyed the passion fruit puree and kiwi topping. The brownie tasted good but was very dense which isn't my preference. Overall, would recommend. Prioritize the drinks over the food in my opinion

After our party of six chatted over cocktails and preyed on pupus, we moved to a "secret" room tucked in the back of Stowaway and walked into a Belly Of The Beast. The founders and co-owners of Stowaway, Leonard Chan and Dominic Iapello, created this extension to the tiki bar with a wildly interesting Pinocchio theme and the famed encounter with Monstro the whale all the while serving the same offerings in Stowaway but with also an exclusive limited menu just for this adventure. With its proximity to Disneyland and its Enchanted Tiki Room, with the very niche underground-like society of tiki culture they found a consistent customer base and the thrill of island escapism through colorful cocktails, pleasurable pupus, tropical trimmings, and nostalgic know-how. How would my belly handle the beastly drinks concocted here!? PURCHASE(S) Gepetto's Last Words ($16.00): Intrigued by the cocktail's name, this elixir was crafted with Fid Street Gin, tangerine, creme de violette, lemon, and cucumber, it was a citrusy refreshing sweet drink that was decorated with bright yellow petals. It was nice, but for whatever reason it just didn't quite hit the spot. [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($9.00): A decent portion with rings of medium to large sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a slight tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (sweet Maui!) rarely pulled out at times. They were lightly oily while the catsup wasn't needed but used. SERVICE While in Stowaway, we informed our male server to let us know when we were allowed to enter the belly. Once inside and situated, we had the place and bartender to ourselves. After we all perused the menu, we placed our orders, and everything arrived within ten minutes. The rest of the time was spent chatting, picture taking, and our bartender checked in on us also giving a Dole Whip taster. All was casual, chill, and somewhat on island time - aloha and mahalo! PARKING (FREE): They shared a medium-sized private lot with several other businesses who were closed at this time with plenty of spots - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE "Hidden" inside Stowaway which was located within a strip mall, the entire theme was based on the Pinocchio story, the interlude in time spent inside Monstro, and as we entered it felt like the beginning of the Disneyland "Storybook" ride as you road a canal boat into the mouth and sharp teet of a whale. There were several marionettes (appropriate and non-appropriate) that hung from the ceiling and belly walls, along with other Disneyesque memorabilia, a few sitting booths, and a tiny bar at the end of the roo. No natural lighting whatsoever while an assortment of extremely low-lit electric lights and table candles glowed. There were no TVs while I couldn't recall any background music. ATTIRE Although I was actually dressed appropriately for the occasion in an aloha shirt, linen pants, and flip-flops, this place was totally casual, so a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops would suffice. OVERALL Belly Of The Beast was an adventurous fun evening with friends, it left me feeling childlike with the need to watch "Pinocchio", and I couldn't wait to return to try more of their awesome-soundling elixirs. I generally loved all-things Disneyana, and this new wrinkle, albeit probably not approved by the mouse ears brass, caught my fancy. My one drink was tasty but just didn't hit the right spot, the onion rings were very good, the prices were a tad elevated, the atmosphere was awesome, and the service was friendly and professional. They had an extremely limited menu, and there was some doubt whether or not ordering from the Stowaway menu was an option. Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $27.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
