I went into this cafe at around 10am on the 11th October 2022. I had an appointment at a car mechanics near by and came into join a work meeting whilst waiting. During the 2 hours I was there I bought two coffees and toast with cheese. At around 12.30 I popped out to go check on my car and was told by the mechanic it will take a further 30 mins. I went back into Zaza cafe which was a 2 min walk away. I politely asked the cafe manager/owner whilst still holding the very hot takeaway cup of coffee I bought not long ago, if I could sit down till my car is ready in 30 mins.

I explained to him that I’ve bought from the cafe and still have my hot coffee that hasn’t even cooled down.

Read moreDropped in here as I was off to a football match nearby and wanted a decent dinner beforehand. I called in at about 6pm and was the only person dining in, despite a constant stream of delivery riders collecting takeaway.
The lady that runs the place was very friendly and suggested a couple of dishes after I asked her what I should go for. Burrata with Parma Ham and fresh pasta with arrabiata sauce.
