Zinc Cafe And Market - CORONA DEL MAR

My favorite cafe in Corona Del Mar. They have a regular menu and also deli, which is so good! The place gets busy on weekend mornings, so I go there before 9 am so I can grab a table :

You need to stop by and have breakfast, or lunch. Also, have a cup of mocha, cookie with your coffee. A unique place, food is great very consistent. A wonderful and great staff as well. They even have a happy hour, check it out

I finally got the opportunity to try out this restaurant and it was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by the simple exterior as I was expecting a small, cramped space with limited seating. I was proven wrong though, as they had plenty of seating inside and even a side patio. The food was delicious and my chilaquiles had a crispy tortilla base that remained crunchy until the last bite. I will definitely be returning for lunch, but they do not serve dinner so keep that in mind. I highly recommend this place.

We had a fresh veggie and hummus plate. It was good, but there was some salt on the sweet dishes and extra oil on the hummus that I wasn't thrilled about. The vegetarian in our group enjoyed her focaccia pizza and thought it was very filling. We also tried a vegan, gluten-free mandel bar that had minimal ingredients, which is why we chose it. It was delicious.

Don't bother with the menu and opt for the market table if you're looking for vegan options. Many dishes on the menu can be made vegan upon request. The service is friendly, the food is fresh, and the drinks are good. It would be even better if they had more dedicated vegan options on the menu.
