This place has a vibe !! It's one of those places where it reminds you of Cheers (neighborhood vibes, everyone knows your name kind of thing) but maintains a modern vibrancy. Ordered a white chocolate bischoff at first while I waited for my partner to get there.. sat down.. and they brought my coffee to me. The drink was amazing- not over powered with sweetness where it over does the coffee taste . LOVED IT ! finally was able to try the flight as well and the blueberry cheesecake was my favorite !! This would be a great date spot where you can sit down and chat and grab a bite to sleep .

Tuna sandwich with pasta salad.

Zing! Cafe is a charming little locally owned coffee shop and cafe in the Village of West Clay. I took my granddaughter for lunch mid-week on a perfect day to eat at one of their outside tables. The shop is tight inside and most tables were occupied during our visit with morning regulars. The menu offers lots of coffee and smoothie options, breakfast items and sandwiches. My granddaughter had the Kid's Grilled Cheese sandwich with assorted fruit. The sandwich was a half sandwich with generous melted cheese. The fresh fruit cup was beautiful and tasty. She was happy. I had the Tuna Melt Sandwich which was more of tuna salad and no melt on ciabatta. That was ok because I like tuna salad too. The salad had bits of cucumber in it. The sandwich came with a generous helping of pasta salad which had a slight spicy zing and was very good. I enjoyed my lunch. Our food came out quickly. The server as friendly and wiped the tables down outside so we could sit. I'd come back.

This is a cute neighborhood coffee shop in West Clay. The customer service is so personalized, they remember coffees and allergies for regular customers and the owners check on you and help with anything you need. I tried the Strawberry fields salad and cinnamon roll. Both were fresh, the croissant as a side for layered, flaky and tasty and cinnamon roll was huge, syrupy and delicious. The cafe was awarded the best neighborhood coffee shop and I think that's accurate with the lovely, homelike yet customized feel. There's ample street parking, lots of stores to shop at and lovely book stores to stop by. Love love the location and food!

My wife and I have spent the summer riding our bikes to different coffee shops around Carmel, Westfield and Noblesville. Today we rode to Zing. Cute little place in West Clay and fairly busy on a Sunday morning. Very friendly people and best of all very good coffee and reasonably priced. The outside seating was a little rough due to lack of shade but still a nice atmosphere to be outside. So far this is neck and neck with Rivet Coffee as our top places we've been to so far. We live on the East side so a bit of a ride to get here but very doable due to the bike path network in Carmel. Worth the trip and look forward to coming again.

Today was my first visit to Zing! Cafe and it will most definitely not be my last. This cozy cafe was filled with friends and families on a warm Saturday morning, yet they were still able to deliver fast (and delicious) service. I enjoyed the The Big Zing breakfast sandwich on gluten free bread, the turkey sausage was particularly delicious and I deeply appreciated the gluten free bread option. Along with my sandwich I enjoyed their seasonal iced latte flight featuring pistachio, blueberry muffin, love bug, and funnel cake flavors. I can't wait to go back and introduce friends to this lovely cafe, it was the perfect spot for brunch after a long walk through The Village.

I'm so glad I walked here this morning! Everyone was so kind to me. I was worried about bringing my dogs, so I called before and asked about if they had somewhere to keep them outside. One of the staff members of Zing told me he would take care of them for me and hold them outside while I ordered! I walked over, he met me at the door, and watched my pups. Not only is that outstanding service, but everyone else was extra kind while I was ordering as well. The croissant is buttery and moist, but not too wet. My iced latte (blueberry muffin latte) is made perfectly and is very refreshing. There is ample seating inside, maybe 6 or 7 tables, as well as some patio seating outside. Love this place!

Quiet little coffee and easy brunch cuisine corner in the heart of Zionsville suburbia, I found plenty of parking, good wifi, polite and extra friendly staff, and enjoyable well lit space. Prices seemed normal across a large menu mostly featuring foods and some coffee. I showed for coffee, noticed all lattes were made from pump bottles, decided on trying a hazelnut marshmallow and brown sugar fix. Forgot to bring in my own so was given the goods in traditional plastic, took a second for the flavors to get to know each other going from gross to rather nice, and I can say it's an overall rounded latte. Nothing fancy or award worthy, will not be challenging Commissary or Provider, it is the simple Starbucks alternative that does entirely better than burning low quality beans! There was a steady trickle over my two hours that Thursday, glad it never got extra busy and could work in the corner with an outlet at laptop reach while enjoying this refined and classically decorated space.

I visited the newly re-opened zing cafe at the village of west clay nice seating outside and inside the owner and staff are very friendly and they will bring your drinks and food to your table they have a great variety of coffee, ice tea and smoothies , pastries and a great breakfast, lunch menu with reasonable prices and portions . They have great options for kids and adults . We got a peach ice tea yesterday to try and will be back to try their lunch menu as it is so conveniently located located right in the village of west clay in west Carmel you must check it out

This cafe is quaint, clean, and has a cozy feel in such a relatively small space. I have not yet tried the food from the menu. Whenever I visit my cousin's salon across the street, I've just gotten coffee. I will try some of the food when I'm in Indianapolis next time.

5 stars. I entered…read morethis dive bar dressed to the 9's after attending a fundraiser for Prevail. I proceeded to have a seat at the bar as the patron to my left commented that I was grossly overdressed for this establishment. He wasn't wrong, but a girl needed some food! I ordered the smoked wings and a side of fries. I chose water to drink because I wasn't in the mood for anything else. BEST WINGS ANS FRIES!!! TWO THUMBS UP! The wings and fries are perfection. No sauce necessary. I tried the teriyaki but it wasn't to my liking and the wings don't require anything extra. They are perfection straight outta the kitchen as served on butcher paper. The fries are probably the best fries I have ever eaten. Seriously. I'm a fry connoisseur - I know my way around a fried potato! Best part: the price! They are priced appropriately. Portions size is great. Hearty wings, not lil wing dings. I only did 6 wings, but next time I'll do the full 12 and take some home. Better than Ale Emporium - argue with ya mamma, not me! I said what I said. Go Bears....Blackhawks...Bulls...Sky... it's a Chicago themed bar, so I'm sure you can find fans enjoying the games here. I'll be back! See you there!

I came here for the first time to watch a Purdue game with boiler buds. We got a high top that seats 8 and it's perfect for watching sports. The food is large, hearty, and excellent bar food.

I ordered the Italian Special on multi-grain. It came with ham, bologna, salami, provolone,…read morelettuce, onions, tomatoes, oregano and oil. It was $8.99 for a 7.5 inch. It was excellent. The bread was fresh and it was loaded with ingredients. My wife got the Hot Club for the same price. It was very good as well. They have Coke products, which we love! We got the fries with cheese and they were very good. We would recommend. All thus said, the customer service here was outstanding! Angel was our server and she went above and beyond. Four specific items support this comment: 1. She greeted us when arrived and thanked us when we left. 2. We ordered the food To Go but we sat at a table. She came over and asked if we wanted the food on a tray or in a bag. Very observant and considerate on her part. 3. I could not figure out how to order cheese on the fries in their mobile app. She initially did not know either. But while we were eating, Angel researched the issue and came back to our table a second time to show us what she found out... so we knew the next time. Very diligent of her! 4. We observed another customer with a To Go order. When the order was ready, Angel walked out from behind the counter and hand delivered the food to him. Others would have just called the customer's name and had the customer walk up. Very thoughtful of Angel! Angel told us she had only worked at Cousins a short time. But she was a seasoned pro. She was knowledgeable of the menu and made suggestions. We will definitely return to Cousins. And, no, we had never met (or knew of) Angel until we arrived for lunch! . Great customer service!
