Zing Cafe - Berkeley

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

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!!!!

Wonderful cappuccino; bagel was perfectly toasted and delicious.

Got the pastrami, wow lots of flavor juicy and absolutely filled up. really filling and excellent sauce. I also got the turkey pesto and just as good. Place is a top notch sandwich shop.

I had a bit of down time to grab lunch before my dental cleaning down the street, and Zing Cafe was perfectly positioned right outside of Ashby BART station for me to chow down a sandwich. The service was friendly but I think the two dudes working in there must have been completely slammed. A few folks were standing in line ordering their stuff. When I walked up the ramp to wait in line, there was a lady who had been waiting for her BLT for sometime but by the time I walked up to order she couldn't wait any longer and left. I ordered the Meatless sandwich and waited probably close to 30 min. I was starting to think they had forgotten about me and was about to check on them when one of the two guys came around the corner with my glistening bejeweled sandwich. Luckily for me I had an hour to kill. The Meatless sandwich exceeded my expectation! The ciabatta bread they used was so crispy (actually cut the roof of my mouth and side of lip, but worth it! . The pesto-smeared ciabatta sandwiched beautifully layered spring mix greens in reduced balsamic dressing and roasted red bell pepper. I could only eat half and had to ask for a to go baggie. They even offered to wrap it up for me. There was ample outdoor seating in the cute courtyard. A nice way to enjoy the sandwich and watch cars zoom by. I would say I'd definitely come back here. It's a neighborhood favorite for sure. I think for those on a tight schedule it might be worthwhile to order ahead via DoorDash and pick up from them, instead of waiting anxiously outside on the ramp.
