I have been to this cafe and continue to visit often, especially for a cup of coffee to work during weekdays but the two times i went here for breakfast i was really disappointed. first time we got a waffle to share and it did take quite a while to come out and it tastes okay but it was a little too hard for me. I prefer a softer waffle. Second time we ordered a shakshuka and a farmers breakfast and the eggs were unfortunately just not doing it for us. Mine were really raw (i don't mean the yolk- i like a runny yolk but when the white of a poached egg is completely translucent then it's clearly raw still).

We weren't the only table experiencing massive delays, no one apologised or communicated with us when we asked how much longer the food would be had a cinnamon bun to start with to tide us over, was told it was fresh that day but you literally couldn't cut through it it was so hard and stale when the brunch did finally arrive, it was the blandest, most uninspiring food we've ever had. The English muffins were literally plonked on the plate with some salmon and a poached egg slapped on top. The best thing about the meal was the fresh fruit served alongside it.
There are some stand out breakfast and brunch options on Roman Road, Zealand Cafe has got to be the...
