Zing Cafe

Um, ok. This Turkey Pesto Panini had NO BUSINESS being this good. Like, I like Turkey Pesto sandwiches, they’re one of my go-to’s that I know I’ll like. But, bro. I wasn’t expecting to set a new standard for Turkey Pesto against which I will now compare all future Turkey Pestos. It wasn’t a religious experience, but I’ll be chasing this high for a while.

Zing is located near Ashby BART station and has a lovely fenced patio with table and chairs and a couple of benches. They have umbrellas for the larger tables. They offer several breakfast items such as coffee, oatmeal, bagel and cream cheese with lox, yoghurt with fruit and granola, croissant with meat and cheese. They also serve sandwiches. Zing provides great customer service and will offer to carry items to your table if you have mobility challenges. During the Covid challenge they sometimes run out but I have found as more customers are venturing out, supplies are better stocked.

Reliably good café. I came here with my infant before the pandemic often, nice quiet casual indoor and outdoor seating and great sandwiches. Now they have a lovely outdoor setup with counter service. I also like that they open up relatively early for the area (7am), so you can get coffee when it's needed most.
