Amazing place! Especially after upstairs was refurbished . The new look which is very stylish and appealing makes for an awesome experience. The best place in the town to sit, relax, drink and eat delicious food. I firmly recommend. This is my favorite place.❤️

Came here today for the first time with my partner! We both had jacket potatoes which were both delicious plus the tea was very nice. The inside is decorated very nice indeed only downside which my partner has was the salad with the jacket potato which was extremely barely any salad on there but apart from that is was delicious

This place is immaculately clean compared to others. The staff are friendly and the we found the prices were good. As a family we had a mixed range of food and drinks, a freshly cooked pizza, a wrap, a panini and a Jacket Potato meal. All were tasty and the latte's came hot with patterns on them. My son's choice of the Oreo Milkshake was certainly the nicest one by miles. The place is busy however on arrival our table was cleaned quickly while we waited. The place has a nice ambience to it and i noticed the large upstairs seating area as well when visiting the washrooms on the first floor. Do expect to wait a short while as the food is cooked fresh on order.

i had ordered cafe zen on just eat and was looking forward to it arriving, before it came i received a call saying they hadn’t got what i ordered although on the app it said they did, when it arrived it was presented like a school meal, my chips were cold and the chicken in my wrap looked like baby food. it was presented like they couldn’t be bothered to make it look nice

Had the full breakfast delivered to my home this morning and can honestly say I’m more than pleased with the portion size and delivery service. Hot drinks from here are top of the crop and I highly recommend the jacket potatoes and toasties alongside the breakfast. Also, the coffee is out of this world and everything is priced very well! Easily the best cafe in town!

Rude staff raw and frozen food , they can even fry the frozen food properly so forget about cooking it fresh , ordered a fish and chips my partner ordered so called chicken fillet burger , the fish was just the size of my finger when cut it to take a bite the water was coming out all raw, the put it in hot oil so the batter was all cooked but inside raw and smelly fish , the burger came just buns and fillet inside no dressing just couple of leaves of lettuce on the side, when I got up and went to till to speak to someone and show them that fish is raw three different staff members came to listen but non of them accepted I said you eat it if you think it’s cook , no never again not in million years not even if they give the food for free

Just come back from an awful, greasy, tasteless cheap nasty brekki. Had to leave it, I had a spoonful of beans, and a dip of my egg! Sausage didn’t taste like sausage, and swimming in grease, as was the egg and the hash brown just spat at me when I went to bite into it! Gross! Toast was soft which a dish of cheap horrible Marge! Even the tea was rank! I can’t quite believe how it’s got all these raving reviews!!!

If you want a cafe that is very cheap, provides high quality food and excellent service, Zen is the place. Upstairs provides a meeting place where different groups practice their faith (although I’ve never seen this occur) and also extra seating. Clean and very busy with many students and lots of others, this place has a very cosmopolitan air about it. If you’re after a quick good meal that won’t hurt your pocket, Try Zen. I’m impressed.

Popped in here for a bacon sandwich and cup of tea. Didn't do bacon so tried sausage. Very strange taste, suspect cheap sausages. Avoid if possible. Positive aspect is the cafe does free wifi.

El café puede parecer un precio poco segundo pero que totalmente oculta el servicio y la comida que ofrecen. Es el tipo de cafe, donde tienes que recoger tu propio condimentos. Es en su mayoría 'patatas fritas con todo 'pero son bonitas y las porciones de patatas fritas para los precios son muy generosos. Si estoy en la ciudad que tendrá por objetivo para este café en vez de ir a otro sitio porque, aparte de los estudiantes de los almuerzos, (está cerca de la Burton College) puede casi siempre conseguir una mesa. Si estás desesperado entiendo hay un piso superior también, pero nunca he estado allí.

When the "Burton Greyhounds" celebrated the annual Great Global Greyhound Walk with a walk round the Washlands, Cafe Zen formed the focal point and, at the end of the meeting, 21 greyhounds and their owners gathered in the Market Square outside the cafe. As well as very good tea and coffee, the helpful staff provided water for the thirsty hounds. I selflessly stayed behind and spent a happy hour consuming americanos and the odd samosa and piece of cake. My wife and I often drop in for a coffee, and we always enjoy the experience.

Been here a few times and been okay cheap and nice food but after going today its changed my mind! My mum asked for a cheese and ham panini and they gave her cheese and onion when i asked to get it changed she waitress who looked like she didnt care one bit refused to change the chips which were cold because it was another meal? And the scampi didnt look very cooked either to be honest

I was quite excited by the concept and was assured by the owner there would be plenty of vegetarian/vegan options on offer. Having an Indian background my instant thought was ‘ok, can’t go wrong with the vegetarian dishes.’ We were a large group with kids. The seating was tight and we were unable to sit comfortably. Only 1 highchair available therefore unable to accommodate baby who had to remain in pushchair. Chef took considerable amount of time preparing what looked like Bhel. Drinks took a long time to reach our table. At this point, we had 4 H-ANGRY kids. Food arrived at a slow pace, which was largely disappointing since it lacked variety, flavour and spice. There was not a single piece of Paneer that was served for the vegetarians. This is a premium item for vegetarians like chicken/lamb is for non-vegetarians. There was no grilled Paneer for starters, nor Paneer curry as a Mains. The non-vegetarian food was mostly tasteless. The Pooris had already been pre-made with a coconut filling (not nice) so when we asked for Plain Pooris/ Naan for the Kids they could not accommodate. We asked for plain chips for the Kids we were served with curly fries. However when the Starters were served it oddly contained plain chips, we were baffled. When additional food/ drinks were requested to the table it was either very slow or forgotten about. On the whole I was completely disappointed with the quality and variety of food on offer. The service and communication was not great. The price per person / all you can eat concept cannot be justified. As a group we did not eat £20pp worth of food. For a vegetarian dining at this restaurant, it is very expensive for what you get. I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Visited here after a while. I was shocked. The owner was a lady who I had paid for dog walking whilst lockdown was happening, even worse she had been claiming furlough and leaving her cafe closed and getting paid for dog walking. I don't think this is very ethical. Thankfully I wasn't reconised however service was slow and the menu full of very unhealthy things and the tables far too close together for COVID. Will not return.
