The coffee here is fantastic. I really mean it. I go out of my way just to come here if I want an espresso. The décor inside is nice and simple as well. But depending on who you are, you may or may not like the fact that it can get loud; not because it’s packed, but because a few southern Italians will come and chat *very loudly* with the staff: it all starts with a very ‘ciao bella’ and ends with a very loud ‘ciao bella’. Personally, I love it, as it reminds me of my travels. The nutella biscotti is also very nice.

My favourite coffee shop to be during summer. The staffs are extremely warm and friendly, and the drinks are bold too! Love the ice americano!

Always outstanding service and a great quality of espresso. Try the Nutella biscotti! The décor is clean and contemporary but not cold. A happy and inviting vibe at Zaza!

This café is a great place for coffee. To me they pull the best espresso comparing to all other café in the area. You should have tried espresso in italy to be able to appreciate the italian athentic espresso they make here. Their Gelato is good too, its handy. they have small selection of flavors. If you wanna treat yourself with large selection of gelato and variety of options, you better visit other gelato places.

I’ve got a major sweet tooth and I’m a sucker for some good Gelato. I heard some good things about this place. I got a scoop each of the chocolate and fragola — both were absolutely delicious. Only complaint is that the lineup and order set up is a bit clustering, plus the place is a bit narrow. Also, the price point is… Eh. Two scoops cost me about $ 6 – 7

Gelato: 3⁄5 Service: 4⁄5 Ambience: Nice, but music can be loud. Repeat: Not in a hurry.

This is the only gelato place I’ve tried in the Yonge and Eglinton area but it is my favourite. First, every time I visit, they have different flavours. I’ve tried Amaretto, Bacio and Fragola. They were all very good; creamy and not too sweet. Bacio was like Nutella ice cream with chunks of chocolates and nuts. Second, they will give you a huge scoop. Third, as they give you the scoop, they will make you laugh. I’ve seen a couple of Italian men at the counter and they provide a great service. Grazie!

Authentic Italian customer service… The server even gave us some frozen coffee treat on the house. Very chic ambiance. We sat outside the restaurant on bar stools, had a delicious espresso. Will definitely come back to try some of their gelato!

This review is for the Yonge and Eglinton location. First of all, the guy looked super annoyed to help me. Then the cup wasn’t even properly filled and was sticky. The gelato I got was so sugary I didn’t finish half of it. There’s tons of gelato places in the area and I hate to give my money to places with crappy customer service and terrible gelato!

The guy who runs this place is always jacked up. On coffee I think! The coffee is superb. So is the gelato. Gave the 5 stars because the place makes me feel like I am in Rome. Loud and soulful.

Always so friendly and welcoming enough to make me and my boyfriend visit them twice a day! We live in the area and were super excited for Zaza to open up down the street, in our neighbourhood. Their espresso is always best quality and gelato is done so well here. Great spot for dates or just kicking back in the front open area.

Stopped in for a quick Americano, the last time I had one that was this good was in Italy! Friendly and helpful staff, great prices for quality coffee! Next time I’ll have the gelato too!

It’s the only place in the city where you can experience the real taste of an Italian espresso coffee. I lived in Rome 24 years and the taste is identical. Their cappuccinos are authentic and only if you had taste an authentic Italian«caffè» you can actually appreciate it. If you don’t know about Italian coffee you cannot understand the«philosophy» behind a small cup of coffee. Whenever I have Italian VIPs visiting in Toronto, I don’t want to go wrong: Zaza is the only place to go.

3.5* I got the Zaza summer. It’s a glass of cold espresso … But sadly it’s brewed beforehand and kept in the fridge… meh ! Nothing special. It’s a little pricy for its quality… I would just go to Starbucks or Aroma if I wanted an average coffee.

We got the gelato here. The smallest size was still about the size of a newborn’s head. The staff really try to put as much gelato as they can into that small cone. The gelato was pretty decent too and the staff member was really friendly and have us a sample to taste.

As the 5th Zaza location in Toronto, this location has a nice patio that is actually ON Yonge Street. It is the perfect spot for people watching. The menu is pretty much the same as all of the other Zaza cafes — there is espresso, baked goods(biscotti!) and gelato.
