| - What a great replacement for the stop-and-go near Vilas Zoo.
Growing up in Madison I used to always wonder why there weren't places like ZuZu's in the Vilas area. The neighborhood is so peaceful, and it's the perfect atmosphere for a nice sit-down cafe to relax and soak in some sunshine. ZuZu's provides all of that and more.
The place is somewhat split into two sections. There's a children's play area that has model trains and tracks setup, along with other toys. I could imagine this getting pretty loud if there was a lot of kids present, but such was not the case when I was there (only 1 kid present). The rest of the cafe is filled with comfortable lazyboy chairs and booths with tables. It was a great place to sit and have casual conversation on a Saturday morning, or read a book for a few hours.
For a coffee shop / cafe, ZuZu's has a surprising amount of food options on the menu. All of them seemed unique, with a Caribbean theme echoing through most of the selections. They also have a cooler with a variety of beverage choices and some basic grocery goods if you're just stopping by to pickup milk, butter, etc. Service was prompt and polite. I only ordered a drink, but a girl in my party had a olive/tomato sandwich and it looked very good.
Overall, great place to go if your looking to relax, grab a bite, and enjoy a casual weekend.
