Zinc Café & Market

Nice combo restaurant/marketplace! Servings are great portions. The staff was very nice & helpful. They open early for those of us who work graveyard and need good healthy food when our shift ends in the morning. It is dog friendly and they have indoor & outdoor eating spaces. They also have a to-go section where you can shop for already made meals to take.

Lovely outdoor seating. Delicious vegetarian sandwich with Fig jam. Nice happy hour wine deals as well. Service was great.

The parking was hard, just want to throw that out there. I came after a short day at work so a bit before 2pm and I had to look for a while (in case you’re not in walking distance). The cafe itself is super cute and the outdoor area is very pretty but I sat inside. I ordered the split pea and potato soup, which came with garlic bread, as well as the turkey sandwich without bacon. That came with a choice of a side of fries, small soup, or salad. I wanted a larger soup so I got the salad on the side. This may sound weird but the sandwich tasted like its components, like the turkey just tasted like turkey and the tomato like tomato, the lettuce like leaf. It was super fresh and the quality was good but a flavorful spread would have made it way better. I like split pea soup so the potato was a nice addition but I think there was squash in it too which was very nice. The breads were also very good but so crunchy so careful with the bites. The drink I had was a tea au lait which is like a tea latte and it was really good, I didn’t even need to add a sweetener. The waiters and waitresses were sooooo nice. They were attentive and very efficient. I would definitely come again to try the breakfast items, they sounded good.

Spacious and bright restaurant featuring both tables and booths, plus a relaxing open-air courtyard adorned with olive trees and equipped with outdoor heating. The atmosphere is inviting, though the music might be a bit loud for a breakfast setting

My first experience at Zinc lovely primarily because the service was absolutely amazing. Nicholas was a total joy and to have a connection to Texas made it even better. He went over and beyond to make me feel welcomed and taken care of. His service alone is enough to make me go back for another experience. I had the mushroom burger and carrot soup, with a rosemary latte. The latte had good flavor and wasn't too sweet. The soup had a nice texture but needed a little something extra. The burger was supposed to be medium but came out a bit overdone, although it had a nice flavor. All in all, it was a beautiful day, the company and service was wonderful. I'll definitely visit again on my next trip to DTLA.
