Madame Zuzu's - Reserva de mesa

I work not too far from this cafe and have been there several times. The teas and coffees are great--I especially have liked the lattes I 've had--and I 've also taken advantage of the packaged teas and small gift shop when I 've needed to give a gift. The quality of the food, though, has been inconsistent--sometimes good and sometimes rather disappointing. Memorably, I had one dish that was garnished with pickled daikon that would have made a nice garnish if sliced very thin--but it was served in huge chunks that were so strongly flavored as to be inedible. On the other hand, I have enjoyed the grilled 'cheese ' with tomato soup. Frequently, the restaurant is advertising for staff so I real...

After dining at Madame Zuzu's over the years, I cannot say that I would recommend this restaurant. Although I appreciate the existence of a vegan option in Highland Park and the cool space it provides, I find that the low quality of the food does not justify the prices. In August 2022, I revisited Madame Zuzu's and found it to be a refreshing haven for vegan options in Highland Park. The community space and store are its greatest strengths. While there are many vegan options available, I have found the quality to be inconsistent during my visits. On my most recent visit, I ordered a chicken waffle with maple syrup and sausage. I was surprised and disappointed to find that the ingredients use...

…so what better place to go than to a place owned by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan? Pro tip: combine the seasonal smashed pumpkin latte and the pumpkin spice hot chocolate for a treat your tastebuds won’t soon forget! Real smashed pumpkin with cozy, chocolatey vibes. The GF option for the smoked carrot lox blew my mind some of the best GF bread I’ve ever had: thick, spongy, moist with a crunchy crust and fluffy insides. The carrot lox was nice and thinly sliced, but could have been cooked and marinated longer as it was still pretty crunchy rather than the melt in your mouth lox I remember from my childhood and have had with carrot lox at other venues in the past. The only reason th...

After reading positive reviews, we had high expectations for this restaurant. We were excited that it was completely plant-based, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to our hopes. The dishes were bland and unexciting, tasting as if they were made from frozen ingredients. The high prices did not match the quality of the food, as nothing tasted fresh. I ordered an iced chai latte with almond milk, which was the worst chai I have ever had – it was watery and flavorless. The identity of the cafe seemed confused, and while it has the potential to be a great vegan spot, our experience was ultimately disappointing. Reserva una mesa ahora

I tried the pastor on my arepas and it tasted like chorizo. The texture was not right and the flavor was far from what it should have been. However, the arepas themselves were good. The potatoes seemed to be stale, possibly day old, as they were cold and chewy. My friend had the same problem with the potatoes. The mole chicken was decent, but the mole sauce was not very good. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. The service was friendly, but it took a long time to receive our food.

We got delivery today, 3 Shanghai rice bowls, the chicken waffles, and a selection of cookies. Everything was generously seasoned, perfectly cooked, and absolutely incredible. Don’t trust the photos on the online menu, which aren’t super appetizing; they don’t do this great food justice. The cookies were also soft, generously sized, and packed with flavor. I would love to try their specialty teas as well, but I’ll wait until I can get that in person. Will definitely order from them again.

My husband and I were looking for a vegan restaurant in Highland Park, and were very pleased to find Madame Zuzu 's. Decent portions, especially the Avocado toast (loaded with avocado, tomatoes greens) and cheese melt with hearty bread. I asked if the food were vegan, having seen plant-based, and perhaps there were some items with honey, but there was a large enough menu to stick to vegan options.

We enjoyed the tofu binh mah and the crunchy veggie-chorizo wrap. Both offered an explosion of flavor and texture. Food is ordered at the counter; staff bring it to your table. We lingered in the spacious setting enjoying conversation and vegan delights. Reserva una mesa ahora

I like to stop here whenever I am in the area. My favorite is the tofu bahn-mi, although their sausage is good as is their bacon.

Fantastic atmosphere, wide range of choices, delightful service, and the added bonus of possibly spotting Billy Corgan!
