The Wall Street JournalJanuary 24, 2013Brunch here can be packed on weekends, so the restaurant is offering it seven days a week. Among the popular items is a crepe filled with scallion crème fraiche and salmon that is cured in-house. Read more
Joshua NessNovember 15, 2011If you can find it, you'll be happy you did. European styling and service. Brunch is wonderful. Bacon is cooked to perfection. Try the stuffed French toast only if you want a new favorite.
Anthony RivaAugust 1, 2010The most adorable brunch spot in midtown east. Their French toast is unlike anything you've ever tasted. A crispy outside stuffed with a creamy mix of bananna and mascarpone. Mmmmm.
Halstead PropertyNovember 1, 2011Go for brunch and order the Croque Monsieur that’s smothered in melted cheese (in a good way) with a perfectly balanced amount of ham and toasted bread
Gloria ChinOctober 14, 2013super cute place. come for brunch! get the tuna nicoise salad, crabcake & French Toast
Food is great. Coffee is superb. That's the ONLY reason I keep coming back. Service SUCKS. Baguette didn't come till end of the brunch and the comment from the manager was" you can eat it or not"...?!
W magazineJune 21, 2010Ze Cafe boasts tasty French-Italian cuisine and a chic, floral-focused décor that evidences its florist owners (Zezé and Peggy O’Dea of East Side flower shop Zezé’s Flowers). Read more
Louis BruscoFebruary 16, 2012The cozy-chic space is beautifully decorated with plants and flowers and the sophisticated menu delivers

Olivia ByingtonSeptember 25, 2011Good service, charming place for brunch. Beautifull flowers by Zezé
Elle WangJune 20, 2010Sunday brunch was tasty, organic, and service was a little slow.... food portion was a bit small, at least for me as well :p
Clara PyoAugust 31, 2013Ridiculously slow. Took 10 mins to get order, now counting close to 15 mins just to get our drinks. hostess/manager just yelled at the servers publicly. Awk and unprofessional. Where's our food?..
Edan BallantineSeptember 24, 2011Nice place but don't go if you have anything else to do afterwards ...slloowwwww- david ' dj shakez ' thaiJuly 21, 2013They really need to step up their service... very inattentive and inefficient.
Mario 4sqFebruary 24, 2011Dicono che in questo posticino fortunatamente sconosciuto ai più Valentino sia stato avvistato più volte.
