Cafe Zing - Cambridge

Great tasting coffee and a very cool environment in a bookshop, with a terrace outside as well as if they need. the wifi is fast enough for my work needs and the baristas are very friendly and helpful. they also have some pretty good snacks, including strangely excellent prepacked semi-sandwiches. I like the chicken breast with sriracha mayo. beats the pants of dieucks as place to work on their laptop or sit and read a because. let them guess that on sunny days when they sit in the window, they will probably be roasted if they don't have the blinds, and a few seats have no good blind cover.

Fantastic service and coffee, every time. The iced coconut mocha is unbelievably good!

Love Café Zing inside Porter Square Books. Whenever we go in we have to get the Vietnamese Soft rolls with peanut sauce if they have not already sold out. They also have excellent coffee, tea and other drinks hot or cold. The pastries are delicious and there are dairy free options as well.

Love the food there. We have been there several times. But the last time the restaurant was full and the service was not great. The waitress behind the bar was assigned to us and we had to wait for a very long time for everything while people who arrived after us were served earlier and were assigned a restaurant waitress. After signaling several times to our waitress to have dessert and coffee, our waitress brought us a cheque directly without asking if we’d like coffee or dessert ! We were extremely disappointed and frustrated as usually their service was good and other waitresses were attentive to their customers. That was 3/4 weeks ago.

I've always loved Cafe Zing at Porter Square books, but haven't been here much post COVID. I barista made my day today with incredible coffee, delicious pastry, and thoughtful words.
