**Zing Café: A Mixed Bag of Flavor and Frustration**
Nestled near Ashby BART station, Zing Café boasts a charming outdoor patio and a menu filled with enticing sandwiches and energizing coffees. Customers rave about the flavor-packed offerings, particularly the turkey pesto sandwich and freshly prepared salads. However, the café struggles with long wait times, often leaving patrons exasperated. While many appreciate the friendly service and cozy atmosphere, the understaffing issue has led to some customers feeling undervalued. For those who can be patient, Zing Café serves delicious fare that makes the wait worthwhile—just remember to order ahead if you're on a tight schedule.
Was Anonym at Zing Cafe a mag?
I like this place because they have ease and also perfect customer support. coffee is fresh and two brothers here prepare everything fresh. sandwiches are delicious, taste healthy salads and also hot and cold drinks, tees etc. all good energy for morning stars and extra lunch daylight View all feedback.
What Anonym dislikes about Zing Cafe:
$3.50 for a single espresso? I asked why the single costs $3.50 when their price list shows the double espresso for $3.25. The answer I got was, "it's the kelch." So apparently, their price list is only accurate when customers drink the beverages on-site. I've had enough of how California companies exploit the environmentally conscious badge—it just seems like a ploy to make more money. It's honestly absurd!.

Today, I tried to be proactive and ordered online 40 minutes in advance. However, when I arrived, I was informed that I still had to wait because there were two other people ahead of me waiting for their sandwiches. Having worked in sandwich shops before, I can't understand why this happens. Are they really making everything from scratch? Do they bake their own bread? It feels like they don't want my business or that my money isn’t good enough for them. I won't be giving them a third chance. This is the second day in a row that I've faced issues here. It's time for them to get their act together.
Good place to go to if you don't mind waiting forever to get your food!! I waited an extra 25 minutes for my food to be ready versus when it should've been done and I wasn't the only one either the gentleman that was there before me was in the same situation he was actually even more frustrated because as he told the gentlemen working that he was actually going to be late for work because of this!!! And the lady after me even said she couldn't wait she actually left!! So if you feel like wasting your time you got nothing better else to do this is the place to go!!! Nothing personal on the gentleman working he seems like a nice guy but it's pretty easy to say that this guy is understaffed and needs help!!!!
I'm so glad this café is surviving. Yeah cappuccinos and sandwiches are so good that I look forward to them, and never disappointed. Their turmeric chai latte is very interesting as well. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often.
Stopped for an espresso and was served a double. Probably they largest double espresso I have ever had. Good coffee

Everything is great here! The customer service is exceptional, and the coffee is always on point. I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates the best. If you’re a fan of quality, definitely stop by and give it a try!
I really enjoy visiting this restaurant. Even when I arrive late, I can just place a phone order and still receive my food, even after closing time. Ana, the woman who works here, is incredibly kind and wonderful! The service is excellent, and the food is delicious!
