Crema's Take

“Nestled in Laguna Beach with sprawling shaded patios that invite lingering, Zinc Café strikes that perfect balance between casual counter-service and genuinely welcoming atmosphere—think relaxed vibes with live music and a menu that shines brightest during breakfast and lunch, where their avocado toast and house-made pastries pair beautifully with carefully crafted coffee. While the food quality can be inconsistent, the real magic is in the experience: a laid-back seaside spot that feels designed for unhurried moments before hitting the beach, complete with an iced latte that reviewers genuinely rave about.”

What to expect

Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Avocado toast, some maple pecan something or another cookie + an incredible iced latte. Atmosphere really sold it for me during a quick brunch visit before the beach and it was perfect. The avocado toast was *chefs kiss* real cute. Bathroom was small but clean.
