I am a frequent visitor to Zera. Every time I go I experience a friendly, warm, welcoming staff in a congenial, attractive and laidback atmosphere. (One of the managers, Lynne, is particularly friendly and helpful!) The place is filled with people who are studying or working or just hanging out with friends having a good time as they enjoy the tasty drinks and food. Whether you’re looking for a delicious coffee drink, a specialty tea, a yummy sandwich or wrap, an ice cream dessert or a slice of delicious cake you can find it at Zera. My favorite sandwich is their chicken salad on a croissant. Super yummy! They just added ice cream desserts to their menu. I tried their Reeces Sunday and enjoyed every bite! I highly recommend Zera Coffee!

Wonderful coffee shop where all proceeds go to support a local nonprofit. Their cappuccinos are outstanding and they offer sandwiches, wraps, and desserts. They also have a stage for events. I love the idea that my coffee habit supports a worthy cause and helps contribute to the community! Thank you Zera for all you do.

Great place, products and wonderful service. Exceptional Event venue. This is a Very Special place, more than a Coffee Shop, but Coffee with a Mission It's a training ground for Individuals who are rebounding in life. Training & Learning new job and business skills while contributing to helping a small business thrive. A place that's being "a Part of the Solution!!"

I have an absolute deep love for this place! Miss Lynne is my favorite as well, Zera doesn’t feel the same when I don’t see her here. I recommend you all come on over and try their new muffin flavors (cranberry orange, pumpkin, and apple pie)!! I got the cranberry orange and it’s delicious! You can ask for a side of butter if you wish too! :)

I’ve been coming here regularly for almost 10 years. The service is always above and beyond. The coffee and pastries are excellent. Surprisingly, they have a wonderful chicken salad sandwich for lunch too! Great atmosphere for small meetings, and studying. Can’t go wrong! The last time I was here, the staff helped me out to my car in the pouring rain - can’t get better service than that. Love the mission of the whole organization.

Scott, the owner, Edwin, Chris R, Bruce, Jeremy, & Stephen, along with all the ladies who work there ( I apologize I don't know all of your names), are amazing folks! :) Thank you for being in our community! Love Zera!!

Absolutely love this place. Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly staff. Great, relaxing place to read a book, work on schoolwork, etc. I love coming here to work on my stories. This place also has some cool clubs and is great for finding new friends and social circles. Even if you don’t like coffee, this is a great place to hang out!
