Zoey's..
" INTENT reveals desire; ACTION reveals commitment"
This pretty much summarises my recent experience of being at this new cafe at Sarjapur, Bangalore.
I must compliment the owners for their focus on the theme, even in their actions, which talks highly of their intent in the nature of their work -being receptive to feedback, reaching out to people- high on commitment...."Grill of Love" at Zoey's another beautiful concept, is an evidence of these...
There is profound beauty in the simplicity of this place,- interesting that the place radiates warmth and at the same time refreshes your soul with its cool charm...
The earthy look and careful detailing in terms of choosing the decor, set up, tables, arrangement, wall art and choice of paintings, beautiful use of plants, painted tyres and an old bicycle painted yellow, placed at the entrance, are just some of the highlights of this place which keep the meaning of the name given- "Zoey's", ALIVE, pun intended ( Zoey in Greek means life, as was told to us at the cafe)...
... As we entered, we watched several other customers enjoying the famous Zoey's hot thick coffee while deeply engaged reading books or playing UNO or Playing Jenga ( all provided by the Cafe)...smart thinking by the cafe owner I must say!
The staff was courteous, and understanding towards all our needs- accommodating this large group, with enthusiastic bunch of kids, and very hungry us! We were relieved to see this play area for kids inside the cafe, which kept the kids engaged while we friends could chat up. We liked the song on their playlist too- pretty cool choices there...
We were there in a big group, and were able to try most of the items and many drinks on their list.. I particularly loved the quality of chicken they had served- very tender and juicy. The chicken sausages were just awesome, something to die for- be it in the eggs, or with veggies...
My son, and my friend's kids enjoyed the Waffles available with both chocolate and the maple syrups, and also the pancakes were a delight. They loved the chocolate shake as well. The basic hot tea, lemon mint tea, cold coffee, the lemon grass cooler and their various detox drinks with green apple, carrot, cucumber, beetroot and watermelon were refreshing too!!!
Food quality, quantity served, taste, ambience, location/accessibility, general cleanliness, prompt service, kid- friendly set up, these are some major criteria one would use to evaluate value for money for any place like this, (not necessarily in the same order). My two cents- An experience which wants me to come back to the place validates that I had a great experience Zoey's...
Good food, good music and the picturesque
view, what is LIFE, if not this...
Zoey's... Cheers to life!
