The menu has a few unique sandwiches that make good use of the butcher's meat. Prices are reasonable. My husband had the Debris Po' Boy Sandwich, served hot. He loved his sandwich with a generous portion of beef, lettuce and tomato. I had the Grand Palace Salad, which was huge. The chicken was marinated in a Thai sauce and was a tad dry. The rest of the salad was fresh with snow peas, cherry tomatoes and mandarins orange. My friend had the meatball sandwich, which looked awesome. The sandwich was huge and shareable. (I'm getting that next time.) The clerks were friendly and helpful. The dining area is roomy and great for conversation. Restrooms were available. There is a dedicated parking lot behind the building or street parking in front.

It may also be because I'm geriatric and the lighting is dim. I got Gavin's Chicken sandwich Cajun style and fried. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. The sandwich comes with lettuce, tomato and onion. In my opinion, the sandwich needs a sauce. Hey Gavin, why don't you like sauce? Ketchup and mustard is on the table but that wouldn't go. I also had a side coleslaw which was great. I ended up topping my sandwich with the coleslaw to fill in the sauce gap for me. If I were to order this again, I'd ask for a Cajun Mayo or maybe ask the server if there is a sauce recommendation.

You order up at the counter then they bring the food to your table. I had the Tuna with lettuce and tomato, served cold. The roll is really good and fresh without being too much bread. I like that the sandwich was a little chewy. The tuna salad was ok, perhaps a little drier than I like. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and herb topping a nice touch. I'd order it again. My husband had the Philly (Reg's suggestion). He had the sandwich hot, so the cheese was nice and melted. The steak was really good and the fillings were generous. We also shared an order of fries. The fries are really good, thinner cut and crispy. Bronze came over and checked on us. The staff is eager to please. We felt welcome. We had 5 star service for a chain restaurant.

I absolutely loved Zing. The iced coffee was awesome! I had a tuna melt, and it was by far the best tuna melt I have ever tasted! My son had the cinnamon toast, and it was great too. Not only was the food great, the service was amazing and it was considerably less expensive than other cafes like Patachou! I can afford to go to Zing multiple days a week, and I will for sure.

Craft nights, book club, trinket meetups, all the things. Went in thru Too Good To Go. They have an all day breakfast sandwich or burger selection that comes with a Spanish latte. Everything is made to order. So everything was FRESH! Ordered one of each and they were pretty tasty! The burgers are halal which is something you look for. Service was prompt and pleasant.

My party of three visited on a Sunday at 11:30ish a.m., and there was a 25 minute wait. Then we waited another 30 minutes for our food. The moral of the story is that if you want to visit during weekend brunch hours, you need to bring your patience. Water and drinks were served promptly, though. They also offer self-serve coffee, so you don't need to wait for a refill. We ordered the lavender lemonade, which was nice and sweet and not too floral, but was a beautiful hazy lavender hue. My favorite thing at Cafe Patachou is the California Dreamer, which is an omelette filled with avocado, white cheddar, sour cream and jalapenos. It has a little bit of a kick from the jalapenos, but even still, I'm so much of a California girl that I requested hot sauce. It comes with arugula and your choice of toast. I always get the cinnamon toast at Cafe Patachou, because it's the best cinnamon toast I've ever had, full stop. We also got the Green Goddess salad, no protein. It was very good and included spinach, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, radish, sugared pecans, feta, hard-boiled egg and green goddess dressing. This is a tasty salad, and is great if you want a little something that feels healthy and light. One thing to keep in mind is that when there are lots of people in the dining room, it can be loud. I felt like I had to raise my voice to talk to the people at my table. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you have to wait for a table, there are some swinging seats a few steps away from the restaurant, so you can go sit there and swing for a bit while you wait for them to text you that your table is ready.

The egg yolks were perfectly runny and the hollandaise had great flavor. I picked the house salad with champagne vinaigrette for the side and enjoyed that as well. I tried the gravy on some of the sourdough bread and it had a great flavor. The biscuits and gravy will probably be something I order next time because it was so good.
