| - This place is amazing.
I came here for lunch last week after I read all the great reviews. The baristas(manager?) were super friendly and walked me through their food options. Tbh, they don't have many lunch items - sandwiches (~$7), soups (~$4), etc. I ended up getting the Chicken Noodle Soup ($3.95), and paired it with the highly rated Belgian Mocha ($3.95) and Chocolate Baton ($3.25).
The Chicken Noodle Soup was decent - it had fresh celery and carrots chopped up; however, there were no noodles and not much chicken. The Chocolate Baton was really good - filled with lots of milk chocolate - you'll like it if you like chocolate. The best of the bunch was the Belgian Mocha. I've never had a drink quite like it. It was uber chocolatey and not too bitter like most mocha's tend to be. The owner explained to me that they mix the chocolate in with the milk so that the drink doesn't even require any extra sugar.
Service was top-notch. The manager checked up on me during my meal to make sure everything was good. Additionally, as I was leaving, he showed me their copper pot they use to process cane sugar for the syrup they use to sweeten their drinks. This is especially cool to me, because I'm fairly health conscious and try to use alternative sweeteners when possible. I believe most of their products are "organic" and they claim on their cups that they plant a tree for every 10 drinks sold.
The wifi here was pretty good too, and there were a bunch of students here, so I'm guessing it's a fairly popular study spot. The only negatives were the limited seating (only about 10 tables in total) and limited food menu.
Will def. be back to Zavida. They provide relatively healthy, organic products, attentive service, and a comfy environment.
