Very kind and helpful customer service. We have a few allergy and they were very helpful about that as well. The ambience is friendly, welcoming, and very cute! The breakfast sandwiches and ham and cheese bagel were worth it and the Caramel Latte was so delicious! read more

While traveling through Auburn with my strictly vegan friend, I searched Yelp for lunch options that would work for both of us and Zola's seemed like a good fit. She selected the Zola Bowl, which was flavorful and satisfying. I chose the Roasted Veggie Panini, which had creamy cheese, sweet roasted vegetables, and crunchy, delicious bread. We liked the food so much that we stopped there the second day and ordered the exact same items. It's a small cafe with local art and some local jewelry for sale as well. There are a few outdoor seats, which were great for a beautiful, sunny day. Order at the counter and the food will be brought out to you. It's a casual cafe where you bus your own table. I highly recommend it. read more

The salmon bagel tasted very burnt and smelled off. The onions looked black (pictured) and possibly spoiled. I politely raised my concern, but the situation was handled very poorly. There was no attempt to resolve the issue -- no offer to remake/ replace it, or provide a refund. Instead, I was met with rude behavior and weird looks that made me feel uncomfortable for even bringing it up, like it was somehow my fault their food tasted bad. Very disappointing experience and definitely not worth the price. read more

I've been going to Zola's cafe for almost 6 years now. Their coffee has always been on point, and the baked goods are just awesome. I never thought to post a review until now. The current owner, Matt, introduced some changes. I only recently discovered that Matt makes some of the best soup you can get in Auburn. Or anywhere really. There's always great artwork on the walls, and fine tunes on the wire. But during these cold months, let me tell you - a bowl of any soup that Matt makes is going to warm your bones and feed your soul. They have nice salads too. Grab your bestie and make it a date. read more

I wanted a light lunch so I decided to stop by here because I pass by it all the time. I ordered the chicken panini. The food was so bland, sauce on the side would not have helped this meal. The salad wasn't even good to me. SMH heard the coffee was good but I will not be returning. Even the service was awkward. I was not get greeted at all she was just looking at me. I will not be coming back! read more

The previous reviews put it as a top contender for breakfast as we were passing thru town. First, I would call this a coffee shop with food and not a 'cafe'. Like any other coffee shop, step up to the counter, order, sit and wait for your name to be called. But unlike other shops the food isn't premade processed food that get reheated to order. The egg and hashbrown burrito I got was pretty good. I have never had a burrito made on a panini press and I can say it's a great way to do it! The flavor was good even though the potatoes had a little burned flavor. I did not like the salsa, it tasted like Pace from a jar. read more

Visited on a Sunday for brunch time with a couple of friends and we spent about 2 hours here. They did not kick us out and let us enjoy our time here. When you arrive, you can sit wherever you like and their menus are available right at the front of the register. After you order, they will deliver your food and/or drink to you. Inside was spacious, with some outdoor seating. They even have a couch by the fireplace if youre just there to hangout and enjoy your coffee. For coffee, I ordered a latte. Creamy with a good taste of espresso. For food, I ordered a Eggplant Panini and although it look small, it was actually very filling. Could only eat half and took the rest home. I have to say to this day, I am still craving that sandwich. Their foccacia bread is so unique and tasted so well with the sandwich, I need to go back when I have time to. It was that good. My friends also ordered a panini and have finished theirs. Also noted that they loved theirs as well. Sadly, I did not write the names of them down. Overall, I definitely recommend. A good place to sit down, enjoy a cup of coffee and/od catch up with friends. read more

This was a great spot to grab a light lunch and some coffee! The hubs and I were driving through the area and needed lunch and coffee and this hit those requirements. My husband ordered make your own sandwich and got it with turkey, mayo, tomato, pickle on focaccia and he loved it! I had a bite and it was good! The side salad and ranch was also delicious. He had an iced latte too which was delicious. I had a minestrone soup and it was so yummy as well as the caramel coffee. Service was quick and efficient, as well as friendly. They have tables inside and outside as well as a couch and comfortable chair area to sit. They have other foods such as pastries, breakfast items and sweets and lots more coffee drinks. read more

This place is great! Its a good place to come and hang out with friends or your partner. They have great coffee and really good food! Today i tried their new menu and got the French dip with Braised Portabella Mushrooms and it was so delicious! You can taste the horseradish spread that they use, and it pairs well with the flavors of the sandwich, especially when you dip it in the broth it comes with. read more

We used to come here often when we lived closer so I recently stopped by. Good coffee, unique pastry and breakfast options. I enjoyed the zucchini bread though extremely small piece for its price. I'd say the one thing that doesn't change about this place is how stinky you are leaving it each time. I don't know why but I feel drenched in whatever cooking oils they are using when walking out. Felt it again this time around. Definitely hope they figure that out. read more

I came here with a friend to catch up. Really cute spot in the middle of downtown Auburn. They have lots of goodies which I'll for sure be back to try. I got a sugar free vanilla latte which was really good. My only very slight issue was that I think they used the same spoon to stir mine that they used to stir my friends peppermint mocha. So mine was closer to a peppermint vanilla. Not bad. It was actually good. It would be awesome if they'd carry more sugar free flavors as well. read more

We live in the area every time we decide to go it's closed. So we went today ordered our food and a young guy named Calvin sneezed in his arm and did not wash his hands and continued taking dishes out of the dishwasher absolutely disgusting and he's the guy who made our sandwich's. The cashier yells at him go wash your hands looks at her weird! Computer system is glitching bad it's in an area across the street from the police station they had very few baked goods and a huge bowl of uncovered oatmeal in the display case! read more

We enjoyed the spot for Sunday morning, coffee, and breakfast. We were able to sit outside and joy the end of summer. Good coffee options.

Don't get the hash brown sandwich! The potatoes were completely dried out. I needed a steak knife, rather than a fork or butter knife to cut through it. All of the moisture was completely cooked out of the potatoes. Also ... extremely heavy-handed with the pepper. Inedible! Good concept, but terrible execution. Sad read more

Love this place. The atmosphere is wonderful. The food is fantastic and the owner is nice as heck. Check out the paninis! And they have Diet Coke!? Yassss. Also, their peanut butter cookies are to die for. I'm so lucky to live around the corner from them! read more

SERVICE: excellent! Friendly and helpful. AMBIANCE: excellent! Cute, welcoming place. FOOD: Here's where the issue begins - I ordered 2 cookies - macaroon and oatmeal. Delicious and chewy - just how I like them. A little too sweet and a little too brown but delicious. I ordered the Zola salad. Bleu Cheese dressing yummy, greens very fresh - 3 - yes 3 garbanzo beans!!! Quinoa - 1 Tablespoon! Mama Lil's peppers 0!! Not sure where the rest of my ingredients were but they didn't end up on my salad. Next time I order to go I'll check it 1st to make sure I have enough "substance", but not sure I'll go again. read more

First time coming to this establishment not off to a good start. Took 3 employees to figure out how to get the POS card reader to work. Then before we paid for the food one of the employees named Calvin sneezed into his hands then walked past the sink to put on the food handling gloves. I said he just sneezed is he not going to wash his hands? One of the other girls here said Calvin wash your hands, he's like oh.... Disgusting! read more

My favorite cafe in Auburn. Absolutely love both the regular breakfast burrito and vegan breakfast burrito. The pumpkin spice latte was delicious and the espresso was brewed perfectly, unlike other shops where I often find they taste burnt. Great atmosphere. Oh and chocolate zucchini brownie was DELICIOUS. Been coming here for years and will keep coming back. read more

We took advantage of a sunny day and clear roads after all the snow of last couple of weeks. Out and about and my belly starts talking smack. I turn to my fellow yelpers for insight. We decided on Zola's and Thank you Yelp. The cafe is clean and service warm. We walked up to place out order, grabbed a table and checked out the wall art as we waited. I ordered the Zola Bowl, because I enjoy Buddha bowls. The Zola bowl was tasty. Brown rice, roasted sweet potatoes (happy dance) fresh spinach , dried chickpeas and red pepper with a dressing on the side. I believe this is Vegan? The menu lists a V,V2 and GS for this item. After this tasty lunch- my belly was happy. My husband ordered a BLT with a n arugula salad side. It looked delicious but I couldn't tell ya. He clearly forgot that community property extends to his order ;). I asked him if he would recommend and he said yes. read more

Zola's gets 5-Stars for being UNIQUE! ...no Eggs Benedict here... no Ham, Eggs 'n' Hashbrowns here. No Pancakes, no Waffles! Zola serves traditional breakfast flavors in the form of paninis, sandwiches, burritos, muffins, bagels, fritadas. Our breakfast burritos were grilled ! ... kind of a hot pocket, panini, sandwich, served with salsa and sour creme! ... a truly unique preparation. For brunch, Zolas serves traditional lunch flavors (cold-cut meats and cheeses) in a variety of sandwiches, salads and soups! I think Zola's caters to the healthy-eaters lunch crowd. The emphasis seems to be on flavor without all the butter and fat that are typical of breakfast cafes. We also appreciated the outdoor seating and roomy space on the patio, the super clean restrooms with the fresh sagebrush aroma, and the ample parking behind the restaurant. Finally, I will always remember they were willing to customize our food preferences and drink alterations (they made lemonade for me that wasn't on the menu, eith doarkling water... WOW!). Be patient! This restaurant gets buzy on Saturday... and it all closes at 3:00PM. I'm coming back for the soup'n'salad! Bravo, Zola ! read more

Been coming here for 10+ years. Service has changed a lot under new owner. I ordered a Zola bowl yesterday which took a long time to come out and when it did I noticed there were no sweet potatoes in it as described on the menu. The person working at the front asked "are you sure?" I said yes, and also there are no carrots in it. She said "no, there aren't supposed to be carrots in it". See attached menu pic. So I continued eating my bowl waiting for the missing ingredients to be made and then found a piece of plastic shaving in the bowl. When I brought this to the front counter the owner was right there and didn't do anything to make it right. No apology, no credit. The lady offered to make another Zola bowl for me after I had eaten most of it. Blowing it read more

I came here for breakfast with my parents; two of us are vegan and one is omni. We got the vegan breakfast burritos. They would have been decent except they were so dry. We needed quite a lot of salsa to help them along. There weren't any non-pork meats for my step-dad, so he had the hash brown sandwich. He said it was fine. I got a steamed almond milk with gingerbread syrup, but it just tasted like milk. The person taking our order also seemed to be annoyed with us (we were new there and asked some questions before ordering). It just wasn't a pleasant experience, and we don't plan to return. read more

Service - great. Seating options - great. Food... perfection! We follow a plant based diet, we don't call ourselves vegan, but, it's how we find restaurants. No meat or dairy. The field roast sausage panini, was so delicious. I would order it next time and ask for extra peppers and onions - just so delicious. But then... I had this zucchini chocolate muffin that was more like the most dynamite brownie I have ever had. We also shared a raspberry coconut muffin (also vegan) that was just YUM. Super nice people - would 100% recommend this place to a friend!! read more

Met a friend here for a weekend coffee and a bite to eat. I ordered the white mocha with oat milk and half sweet and the eggplant panini. My friend ordered a caramel macchiato and a breakfast sandwich. Both of us liked our drinks and food. I LOVE eggplant and very few places make it correctly but Zola got it right. Highly recommend this place if you are ever in town. read more

Week 29/52 in my endeavor to try one new (to me) local spot per week. I was in the Auburn area and needed a place to work for a couple of hours after dropping the kids off. I took to Yelp (duh) and found Zola's a close drive away! There's a parking lot backed up against the building that's pretty ample, so finding a spot was no issue. Walked in to Zola's and immediately felt a sense of community. Local art, down-to-earth staff, and tons of delicious offerings! I'm bummed that I was just here for a quick work session and a coffee (which was delicious by the way). Beyond caffeinated beverages, they've got wines, beers, and a super tasty sounding menu! I noticed an assortment of breakfast sandwiches, paninis, soups and salads, pastries... There was a ton. Zola's is definitely somewhere that I'll have to return for a drink and some bites to get the full experience. Overall, a really great local find. read more

amazing for options. I love all the vegan muffins & the vegan breakfast burrito is super good!

not quick (probably because we came in right behind a Soccer team), but our food was quite good when it arrived. service was very pleasant (and adorable!). cute place. would definitely visit again. read more

Popular little cafe. Lots of paintings on the wall and some seatings inside and outside. Good coffee. We had some sandwiches for lunch. Tuna melts was pretty creamy. Reuben was decent. I would say I had better ones. I also ordered mushroom soup. Doesn't look appealing. Yes they forgot my soup after I ordered it. But that okay seems like they are short handed and couldn't handle more than 5 people in line. What I don't like is the soup is mushroom soup. It just some salty warm chopped mushroom water with a blender. No texture or wild mushroom flavor. I would recommend stick with the coffee products and sandwiches. Probably a one time deal for me. read more
