Zanzibar offers a mixed dining experience that's become a topic of discussion among patrons. While some rave about the cafe's vibrant atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious menu—highlighting tasty sandwiches, quality coffee, and tempting baked goods—others express concern over inconsistent service, noting instances of rudeness from certain staff members. The ambiance has also shifted since a change of ownership, leading some to feel that the once-welcoming environment has diminished. Despite these critiques, many appreciate Zanzibar's charm and the quality of its offerings, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors seeking a cozy meal or coffee.

Nice eating. was a little on the expensive side for two of us, but the friendly atmosphere and Wi-Fi for the somewhat higher price. (we found this.

Beautiful coffee with cake and paninis. small seat area. take them in summer and great after a long walk on a Sunday when they can get a place. the prices.
