Zinc Café & Bar — Restaurant in Orange

Everything has been very good since they opened. You can tell the workers are all trying to keep up with the crowd. It has been crowded everyday that my coworkers and I have gone. Today I was a little disappointed. I ordered a large White Chocolate Mocha. See picture attached. I opened it because it didn't feel very heavy. I thought, maybe it had more whipped cream than anything. No, it was half full. 😔 Very disappointed. Also if you place an online order, and get any pastries be sure to check your bag. They forgot to add the pastry.

*Zinc Rubenesque: First dish I tried and was very impressed. It was perfect, tasted great. I didn't even miss the meat. *Chilaquiles - not a fan, but my gut told me not to order a Mexican dish at a place like this. So that's my fault *Avocado Toast - Big fan of this. The radish and dill. Everything about it was on point. Add egg if you want some protein 👍🏼 *Egg Salad sandwich - Great taste. Might need a little salt, but the flavors (Dijon mustard) is great. *Black bean chili- great flavors came as a side for my sandwich *Cinnamon Popover - Delectable 😋 *Almond Croissant - a perfection *Seasonal Galette - was an apple...

Update: We have eaten here frequently since Zinc made the change to include non-vegeterian dishes. Almost everything we have tried has been excellent! The burgers are on point, the beef taco & grain bowls are excellent and filling. We love how fresh the ingredients are and always enjoy our meals here. Came to this newly opened establishment for dinner for 2. Reservation was easy to make on Google. Their service was excellent. We hadn't done our research ahead of time & did not realize this was a lacto-ovo-vegeterian restaurant until we sat down. We both got a zero proof drink, a salad & an entree, and the bill was around $80. I recommend the potato arugula pizza. I personally love raclette, which was the cheese used on this pizza. The red chili flakes cut through the heaviness of this stinky cheese & and balanced out the flavors. My Man did NOT enjoy the spinach lasagna as it pretty much fell apart when he tried to cut it. Overall the service was friendly & the bar area has a cozy vibe. Would definitely...

Finally a summer night that’s beautiful. Arrived at 9pm just to be told the patio is closed. The patio was mostly full of people having food and drinks still. Then were sat in an empty dinning room. Cocktails and food were good, no complaints there. But staff was already in full cleaning mode. Might as well close at 930pm we felt rushed to dine as they already started breaking down the dining room and the nice ambient table lights that actually brought warmth and joy to the basic dinning room. Some of staff was also cut so some of the people still enjoying the patio were having to come in to close out there tabs inside because their server had left. We left at 945 and walked by staff that just ignored us and never said goodbye. It’s already hard to find somewhere to eat any time after 9pm. Was really hoping to make this place part of my rotation to dine at that time but guessing on to...
