Visited in early amay 2024. Nice location near Kits Beach. It's seat yourself and they'll eventually come to bring you water and take your order. To be fair, I think they were short staffed when we visited and it showed as service was slow. Got the farmer`s crepe ($17) with bacon, ... mushrooms & mozzarella cheese. Also got the huevos tapatios ($19.5) with two over easy eggs, chorizo sausage, avocado, green onions, cilantro, feta & pico de gallo on a warm flour tortilla served with a fresh fruit cup. The crepe didn't have much flavor in the diah and the filling just seemed to get lost inside the crepe. Perhaps a sauce would have helped. I did like the crispy hashbrowns that came with the crepe. The huevos tapatios was difficult to eat with the tortilla underneath. I did quite enjoy the chorizo sausage tho. Food wise, it was ok but just not sure if we got an accurate representation due to the place being short staffed. Read more
The atmosphere and food at this cafe were both good. Service could use improvement though. The waitress not failed to give our party of four a menu when we asked (told us to use the QR code instead, but had no issue in giving a neighbouring table some menus?). She ... hardly ever checked in on us and so we had to wait next to an hour to simply request the bill. Read more
Zen Cafe was delicious! I loved the poutine and the two egg Breakfast! It was awesome! The potatoes were the highlight! And I loved the grilled tomatoes more than I expected! Zen Cafe was good and extremely affordable, great option for brunch!

Nice service. Short tables (tall people beware). Food was fine. Standard Benny. Beware of the chicken sandwich, dry and chewy.
