This is a small diner/cafe located not far from Kits beach serving up a small menu of breakfast/brunch and lunch items. In addition to their regular menu, they do also have daily specials that are written on a board. During my visit, I had their California Club Sandwich and Chorizo Bennie. Both of the dishes were tasty (surprisingly, my favourite part was probably their fries) and reasonably priced. The staff I encountered was friendly and fairly attentive. This is certainly worth checking out.
California Club Sandwich ($14.25):
4/5
This consisted of two layers filled with grilled chicken breast, cheese, tomato, lettuce, and your choice of either avocado or bacon (I went went bacon), and is served with French fries. The bread was nicely toasted. There was a generous amount of filling, which was very flavourful and tasty. The standout for me however, were the fries, which were were hot, cripsy and well seasoned.
Chorizo Bennie ($12.49):
3.5/5
This consisted of large chunks of chorizo on toasted English muffin with poached eggs and hollandaise, and is served with hashbrowns. There was a good amount of chorizo, which is juicy, flavourful with a nice amount of spice. I asked for my eggs to be overmedium and they were more overhard, but I didn't mind (I actually enjoy firmer yolks). The hollandaise, while thick and creamy, was a bit on the bland side for me. I also found the muffin to be a bit gummy and hard to cut through. I did quite enjoy the hashbrowns, which were crispy and well seasoned.
Summary:
Food: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Service: 3.5/5
Overall: 4/5
Recommendations: California Club Sandwich
Cafe Zen is a charming little brunch spot. The place is kinda small and can be hard to miss.
There are lots of different varieties on the menu and they let you try half of two different ones if you cannot decide.
Their omelettes were pretty average - nothing special.
Overall, it is your standard brunch fair at decent prices. Definitely a worthwhile stop if you ate looking for a quick breakfast/brunch.
I love the atmosphere of this place! The servers are super friendly and the food comes quick. I always end up getting the Benjamine (bacon and eggs Benedict) the eggs are poached to perfection and the bacon is nice and crispy. Highly recommend!
