One of the highlights of Cafe Zoetrope is their welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a romantic date night or a casual get-together with friends.

    Aside from one member of staff saying the place 10000% doesn't serve mochas, and then giving us a menu at the end that showed they did serve mochas the whole time, (a language barrier that was small though and totally fine, she was apologetic and I myself have an accent that can be tricky,) the purple pasta here is amazing and refreshing. Great selection of wines, the mocha is to die for, enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Me gusta! Arrived during happy hour and ordered the Wine flight (deliciosos Reds), the calzone (pesto) and rice balls. Also, the spaghetti and meatballs + a sparkling rose. Nice ambiance, comfortable, messy bathroom, spotty service.

    We had the most lovely experience today for a long leisurely lunch. Cafe Zoetrope has always been a favorite but we have not been lately for no reason. We started with the anti pasta dish. see photo. The Teleme cheese was amazing , the olives special but the Tapenade was the star - especially with the Teleme. Of course the beautiful bread, salami and meats we yummy with some Sofia sparking rose began the meal. We then had some pizza and the salmon sandwich and long conversations. The staff did not rush us and was just a beautiful afternoon. Thank you all .
