Reviews for Zao Ze Cafe in Brunswick, ME
I like the fact that they have nice asian grocery items. A bit on the costly side, but worth it for people living in Brunswick.
Very nice waitress pointed me to and explain each offering. I ordered 3 totally unknown items, I ate outside under umbrella and... flowers, vegetables around. It was DELICIOUS! Definitely a come back. Read more
Everything we tried; both hot/cold or savory/sweet was delicious. The space itself is so pleasant and the variety of Asian... grocery products was great! We will definitely be back soon :) A note for parents though - they don?t have high chairs and it?snot a very baby/ young kid friendly space. Our 1 year old was okay sitting / standing in the booth seat though! Read more
Inspirational cuisine can be found in this wonderful cafe. In addition to having hot and cold prepared foods to delight the... senses there's also a wide variety of pickled and frozen items to go. I'll be back to get more coconut macaroons. Read more
The space is really beautiful and they have done a great job getting some interesting grocery products. The table service food... though is definitely the star. Everything was tasty and my wife and I tried just about everything on the hot food menu. None ofit disappointed. I felt bad that I spilled some water on the floor but the staff was super gracious. Definitely worth checkingout. Read more
Amazing ! The Friday fried chicken was the best. So crispy and delicious. The milk bread that is available at the counter is... also highly recommended. They are working so hard to make things still wonderful during these strange and difficult days. Read more
Zao Ze is a fun breakfast/brunch pop-up cafe (and market) just next to the Tao Yuan restaurant in Brunswick, which has been one... of our favorites since it opened -- they are both the creation of chef Cara Stadler. Currently open Fri-Sun, hopefully they'llexpand to more days. We've been a couple of times, and there's a nice assortment of small plate items you can pick and choosefrom, plus beverages -- including wines, beers, ciders, and saki - and coffee and espresso -- check the menu on their web site.Flavors and textures are, as we expected, excellent.Some ingredients were grown in their nearby greenhouse. Service is casual,lunchroom style. Inside and outside seating is available. There are also to-go items for sale; we haven't tried any of thoseyet, but they looked yummy. Read more
Wow, what a gem of the area! Fantastic pan Asian offerings. Especially enjoyed the shrimp with noodles, gyoza, fried... cauliflower. Great options for taking specialty Asian groceries home, too. They?ve got my favorite Momofuku ?fancy? ramennoodles, frozen dumplings, noodles, wine, and intriguing whisky barrel aged fish oil. There are 8 tables, first come firstserve, sometimes random hours so you may want to check they?re open. Good for takeout and baked items, too! Read more
