    Very cute and bustling cafe in downtown Chelsea! They have a variety of coffee drinks, pastries, breakfast and lunch items. I ordered a medium vanilla latte with oat milk and their lox bagel without the lox to keep it vegetarian. The space is homey and cozy and staff were very friendly! It does fill up on the weekend!

    Service was not great and unfortunately not friendly. My tea latte was so scalding hot I still could not drink it 60 minutes later and then it was only oKay, quiche was clearly microwaved (which was not great for the crust), and unfortunately the crepe was the biggest disappointment. It barely had filling (like seriously there was maybe one sliced strawberry in the entire strawberry crepe) and not sweet at all even with some powdered sugar, super disappointed as the menu looked outstanding. Sad this was my experience, but do not recommend.

    Great weekday breakfast spot with our little before school. She had a plain bagel with cc and cucumbers. Hubs had the crepe with jam and I couldn't pass up the bagel & lox. It was a beautiful plate and just as tasty. I was very happy that the lox weren't too salty. The veggies were crisp and refreshing. They opened at 7am and we were the first through the door. We weren't familiar with the menu, which is extensive but the counter person was very patient and welcoming. Excellent breakfast. We'll return without the little to try the selection of beers on tap and nice selection of wine.

    This large spacious coffee house and bake shop was super cute to visit. We just popped in for chi tea lattes and had to grab some treats to go. I would stop back next time I'm in town. Service was excellent!

    Posted hours of operation that do not correspond with actual hours of food being served.

    The kitchen closes at noon on Sunday! Website says Sunday hours are 8-3. Sign outside the building says 8-2. When my husband and I arrived at about 12:15 today (Sunday) and tried to order sandwiches we were told the kitchen was already closed. We had ridden our bikes there specifically to get a sandwich and then bike ride back home. Big thumbs down on today's experience!

    Love this place! Still a Chelsea staple. She's kept up w the times and offers wine and craft beer on tap to go with the crepes and ice cream and coffee that were the original favs ... and still tasty! A great place for a pit stop on your bike ride if you're using the BtoB trail. So glad they make it thru COVID. Marie Ann is great! Stop by!

    Food is ok, just don't have any high expectations for the side of fruit that comes with your breakfast sandwich.

    I've been coming to ZouZou's for about 18 years now, ever since I moved to this area from Ann Arbor. This place has always drawn me in, from its noisy interior, usually busy, authentic frenchy feel (I've never been to France), it has always been the best bet in Chelsea for non-chain, homemade stuff. The Good: * The soups here are really good! mushroom, tomato tortellini, chicken wild rice, they're all really good.. * Also the pastries, if you have a sweet tooth. I recommend the carrot cake, cinnamon rolls, and lemon tart! * The dining room is spacious and cool, though noisy. * the sandwiches, especially my favorite, the lox bagel * at least a dozen craft and artisanal libations on tap, none of which I've tried * decent, non-burnt tasting coffee The Bad: * Still serving dine-in on terrible cheap disposable paperware. What?? Come on guys. Let's get back in tune. Disposable for dine-in? You're better than this! WE'RE better than this!! * Staff is nearly always 'new on the job', which I understand, since its a small cafe, and a great place for a first job, but its always a tad annoying to deal with. (I still tip large tho‍) * Zero savory options in the pastry case. No cheddar chive scone. No ham and cheese croissant. No spinach feta pockets, or sausage rolls. So if you like pastries but staying away from sugar, stay away from ZouZou's! I get frustrated every time I come in here, for one reason or another, but I keep coming back. Its the small town feel, family-owned, community-oriented homemade vibe that brings me back. I suggest you drop in. There'll probably be a line, and an annoying cashier or customer (maybe me‍), but wait it out and chances are, you'll end up with a pretty decent meal and or drink!

    Cannot get enough of this place! NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM - food and ambiance on one hundo !!

    Burnt blah constructure panini.

    Always slow service. This time makes it our last visit. 30 mins and still waiting for 2 sandwiches to go. It is not crowded either.
