ZigZag Licensed Cafe - Marsfield

I really, really want to love Zig Zag. I live just down the road, everything else in the complex is awesome, and I love the idea of being able to pop down for breakfast at the local. Don't get me wrong, the food's not bad. It's just not ... great. Or consistent. We've had a couple of really nice meals, but on balance the majority have been less than wonderful. They do a great range of T2 tea though, and the coffee's always consistently lovely!Unfortunately, the service is incredibly hit and miss. The last time I popped in was clearly an off day - a tradie popped in to order a sandwich and was treated with surprising disdain for asking what was available (hell, maybe there's a backstory and these poor people are just sick of dealing with him, who knows?). Being a very small cafe with a semi-exposed kitchen, it is unfortunate customers inside the cafe can clearly hear conversations going on within - including about customer's requests. Now, I LOVE to amuse people, but being laughed at for asking for butter for a croissant? Come on, guys. Not on.

I go here as it's across the road from home. Food is basic and coffee ☕ poor. The service is friendly but not very customer focused.

The coffee wad beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. The new owner is very friendly and attentive. I had a BLT sandwich. It came out hot and crunchy. Beautiful

It's hard to find a good outdoor cafe in Marsfield that's open weekends for breakfastIf you are looking a great place and great space for breakfast where you can bring your dog, your bike or your running group ZigZag is the placeIf you don't like the cold, inside is warm and cozyIf you like dining outside you can catch sunshine during winter outsideClose to the university and close to Lane Cove National Park if you are a mountain bike rider

We were treated by a very friendly staff member. Very genuine. In fact all of the staff seemed happy in their witk. We ordered 2 scrambled eggs on toast. One with bacon and the other with avocado. Both were delicious with perfectly cooked eggs. It had a relaxed atmosphere and we sat and read the paper. We'll definitely be back many more times! Thank you!
