Cafe Zen in East Staffordshire

I'm always ordered from here on deiveroo and excellent food everytime we love it so good value for money and it fills us all so definitely generous portions this such a phenomenal place i would also like to say the staff who deliver are so polite thank you

Had a lovely meal, cheese and ham toastie, fries and hot chocolate. Generous portion of chips that were hot, had toastie on brown bread which also hot. I'd had a hot chocolate the day before and couldn't believe the price £1.50 and decided I would have another and something to eat. The price was very reasonable, a lot cheaper than other coffee shops and much better food and drink wise. Will be going aain when I'm in Burton. Saff very friendly and helpful.

Thank you to staff at there you are amazing. The food quality looks good and I can’t fault it. The tea a coffee is nice too and the food taste good.

Took my 6yr old grandson and in his words. Best milkshake ever, popcorn chicken is wonderful. 5star rating.Will be bringing all my grandkids here now.

Best milkshakes I’ve tried, really friendly staff I would highly Recommend. Cakes are also delicious and fresh

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.

Staff were nice & so were the burgers & fries BUT the menus were absolutely filthy & dried food on one of our glasses. The custard was only just luke warm.

Haven't been here since covid, so i thought i'd bring my partner for lunch so he could try zen. We both had a chicken burger which was lovely as always, large portion size so you get your moneys worth. staff lovely as always, great to see them doing well still

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!

The food was brilliant. Really enjoyed the service, it was great. I would highly recommend Cafe Zen.

Excellent service and experience, the food was amazing and the employees were very calm. would highly recommend going

Easily the best cafe in Burton, with the fabulous food and exquisite service. The food was delicious , made fresh and I enjoyed every single bite. Not to mention, the prices were absolutely fantastic for the value provided. Can’t wait to visit again!!!!

Can not fault the food,drinks or staff at cafe zen. The wraps are heavenly and they always get my latte perfect. The staff are doing a great job at keeping the place clean and as well as being attentive and friendly. Can see how much work has gone into keeping the community safe when visiting zen. Highly recommend.

The staff are so polite, they take time to ask you how you are and generally friendly. The food is delicious and good price

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

Very friendly staff, good prices and clean and tidy. Really enjoyed my visit, will definitely come back again in the future.

First visit: Panini (Venice: chicken with sweet chilli & cheese) and Lattes. Very nice, well presented with fresh salad and served to us with friendly service Great place, thank you for warm welcome and helpful service... we will recommend and return.

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!!!

Found this place through trip advisor as was passing through and the great reviews are spot on!!Got the morrocon wrap (seek kebab & cheese ) with chips and drink it was lush and cheap !! I would defo come back here next time I am around these parts :) Great service :)

My sister and I was visiting the area on Sunday and decided have lunch.Great service and highly recommend service and care for customer services excellent.We had hazel latte and those wraps with kebabs with fresh salad.Nice areas outside with tablets, Shame about the weather but it’s good stop over and great food.Must visit if your passing

Very nice little place staff very polite and the food is lovely and at a good price and you can sit outside if its nice.

Busy! Busy! Busy! Wish I knew what they are doing right. Nice place, though staff can be indifferent. Good quality food cooked well.

As I don’t tend to visit cafes very often, I decided to try this one out as it was recommended by friends. Have to say it is definitely a great place, delicious food at good prices and very clean toilets! Their milkshakes are top quality and the place is definitely worth trying out.

Took the family down the other day, as the place looked really nice. Food was excellent, prices were very sensible and the atmosphere was great. Ordered the monroe panini meal and absolutely loved it, bought the kids burger meals and they also enjoyed. Very clean and they accommodate for all so do recommend this place!!

What more can you say ? ? Chips and cheese and a can of sugar free 7up ( other beverages are available) great service .. food was hot.. pop was cold!!!

Never ben a fan of cafes but this one is top notch. gorgus milkshaks and excelent food. Not a huge fan of the name but other than that it is high quality. Would recomend!!!

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.

With a good menu and staff that are polite, this cafe is in a great place and has outdoor seating which is rare in town. The only problem is it is often crowded with college kids, so pick times accordingly

lovely friendly local café serving lovely food in the good weather enjoy sitting outside with a nice cake and a latte

Situated on the corner of the street serving very nice food and staff are friendly. Popular with locals

Visit this place regularly with my wife and kids. They provide fresh food to order and endeavour to go the extra mile. There's baby changing facilities, free wifi along with outdoor seating. Can't fault the place other than some grumpy customers giving uncessary bad reviews for no reason.

Had lunch with my partner, friend and her daughter today, i ordered a jacket potato which was delicious came with side salad, great range of food and drinks on menu for all sorts of dietary needs only thing i say they could put on meals is if having panini or sandwich meal deal have salad instead of chips but overally spacious, excellent service and staff :)

Great range of meals on the menu, always cooked fresh to order, good coffee, and nice, friendly staff. We often go to Zen because we know we'll get a nice meal at very good value. Nice relaxed atmosphere too, with comfortable seating. Recommended.

Went out for lunch today with a friend. Called in Cafe Zen. There was comfortable seating to chill. Food was very reasonabley priced! Served very hot and fresh! Lovely cup of tea. Will be returning!

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.

Great for just popping in, seeing friends, or, as I often do, just chill for a bit. Practical prices too. The staff are quietly efficient, and do not worry if you are having lunch, or just a cup of tea!

A continuación de mi desayuno decepcionante en Cassandra's probé este lugar para tomar el té de la tarde. Qué delicia! Estas garrapatas todas las cajas, Folk de calidad fabulosa comida bien presentada a precios realmente bajos. Excelente té fuerte, losa grande de bizcocho y crema Todo por 3.30 fudge, pero aún así una excelente calidad y servicio. Aquí toda la semana sin duda volveremos - una verdadera alegría gracias

stopped off for a quick cuppa while shopping and was lucky enough to spot the last ( delicious ) samosa : then spotted the fruit granola flapjack ( which was also very good )

the resturaunt is absolutely amazing! food is amazing and at reasonable prices, great milkshakes and absolutely wonderful staff and great atmosphere! would deffo recommend anyone going there, its a beautiful place to visit and really does make a day out special.

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.

great place to catch up with friends and after shopping a good cup of coffee and reasonably priced snacks give it a try you'll be pleasantly surprized

A great place with sensible prices and friendly staff. With three different seating areas and refurbished toilets with baby changing facilities. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely loved this place, it was a wonderful experience and the food was great. It was definitely worth the wait and I am certainly going to return in the near future. If your in town or nearby, you have to visit this place!

I love this place. It provides very good, cheap cafe food in an interesting place. Very lively, this cafe is like a community and over Christmas provided free meals for the homeless and poor. Wide ranging foods, a multicultural ethos and good service I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Nice food and drink, friendly staff and astomphere is lovely, used to go here when was at college not been here for abit but when I did was nice place to go too seating up stairs and down stairs, toilets and spacious :)

Came in for coffee with three people,coffee was really good you can see they had taken there time with the presentation. Cake was also great very friendly service and a nice place to sit. Good visit we will be back.

From J Boy of DerbyAlways have lunch here if in Burton On Trent,the service always seems quick and the food and drinks are very goodPlenty of tables and chairs both inside and outdoors.great location in the centre of town near the collegeOne small point they don't serve bacon sandwiches which I found a little strange

Great place to eat staff are great and always friendly lv goin there very clean to.and cheap to.think they need to update some things .

Great basic place for a coffee or a snack. Excellent cakes too. A basic menu is offered at affordable prices making this a popular place with a wide range of people. You can sit upstairs, downstairs or on the street. There are clean toilets upstairs and the staff are helpful and pleasant. There are also a range of milkshakes and juices, all great!

Arrived very early for work at market, so called in for my breakfast. Lovely clean café, good service and big plate of food. Good value and a great, filling start to my day

been there few times and found the staff attitude very rude and insulting.food quality also depends on their mood.i am personally very much disappointed.

I have eaten at most places in Burton and seem to come back here as the service and food can always be counted on to be consistent , the food is cooked to order so not really quick but for me the fact my food is made for me is a pluss , always found the staff helpful and friendly .My husband is a veggie and they always accommodate his dietary needs .

Their food is cooked fresh therefore do expect to wait a little longer but overall the service is great, staff are really friendly, toilets are immaculately clean! The prices are also very competitive. Definitely recommend,

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

Service is very slow. However the beef panini is excellent and the food is good value for money. Parking is an issue as it is in the centre of town.

Always good food, atmosphere and service. I have visited with family and friends as well as going solo.
