Zovs is my go to place but not sure what's going on with there bakery lately! Came in to purchase cookies and they had NO jumbles, flourless cookies, pistachio cranberry were out as well, the pastry case was pretty empty, they also did not have any rice crispie treats, quite dissapointed, not sure what's going on but I will come back and give it another try.
This place is huge! Well, when you consider the bistro at the other end when you walk by the bathrooms. Very nice selection of desserts and definitely seems to draw a good crowd for coffee and snacks. Parking is shared with other restaurants so might be tight. But, we found one directly across the parking lot from the door so...no issue that day. You can either order at the display case or take a seat and be served. We were lazy that day so decided on a seat. Our server was efficient but not friendly. We were only ordering desserts and coffee and maybe that set her off. Who knows? We ordered four desserts and three coffees...$50 before tip. One of the desserts was not the one ordered. I didn't say anything when delivered as I figured, why not? Let's see how this one is. After paying the bill, I mentioned it to her and she seemed confused. She just said "Huh?" and walked away. Never to return. I wasn't expecting a discount as I asked after paying but it would have been nice to hear something other than huh... But, will we return? Yes! Hopefully with a different server or possible over to the bistro side to grab lunch there before dessert. Of the four desserts we ordered - The Chocolate Box, pretty good. The lemon bar, very good. The Red Velvet, also very good. The "not rice crispy that I ordered", very hard and just okay (this one has chocolate and peanut butter, the "normal" one just has chocolate). Should you stop in for dessert or gelato? Yes, absolutely. Take a good look as the display case before you order and...enjoy!!!
It's really good food. There are two sides. Breakfast and lunch on the east side and it's casual. Took my 3 brother in laws to a birthday dinner on the west side - more food and fancier. Nice.
This was the second time I have been Zov's and I will CONTINUE to come back as often as I can. We originally came on January 16th when Zov's participated in donating some proceeds from their sales that day to the LA Wildfires and wanted to support. We knew we had to come back, and we sure did! We wanted to come back to celebrate my co-workers engagement to her fiancé and what a perfect place! Not photographed was the shared appetizer of the simple yet creamy hummus with pita, carrots, and cucumbers. A crowd favorite amongst the 5 of us and we ate it all up! I ordered the Cucumber Cooler mocktail which is always so refreshing and cooling to pair with this type of food. This time, I ordered the Roasted Vegetable Bowl and added Salmon and avocado. I do wish the veggies were a little more "roasted" or "charred", but when I tell you our food came out PIPING hot, that was amazing! The roasted vegetables were perfectly seasoned, al dente, and there was rice underneath that bowl too! Super filling, and still getting that salmon protein. I did NOT eat the entire bowl and sadly forgot my leftover box at the table when we left. But we ended the lunch by sharing the Warm Butter Cake and the Crème Brûlée. Splitting these 2 desserts between us 5 was just the perfect amount to get a few warm bites of moist cake with that fresh vanilla bean ice cream and berry compote. The crunch on the Crème brûlée is always a favorite. If you are craving quick and attentive service with some delicious, fresh, hot food, I highly encourage everyone to come to Zov's in Tustin! I encourage everyone to come at 11:00am - 11:30am to start your lunch because after 12:00pm, the small-ish parking lot is FULL.
OH SOOOOO TASTY!!! Just had the pleasure of enjoying happy hour at Zov's on a whim driving by. It was a delicious experience. We walked through the bakery side to the main restaurant and sat by the cozy fire. Warning: you'll not make it past there without some exceptional red velvet cake. Decided to try the happy hour menu. As a carnivore, the carne asada tostadas (sans the tortillas) were delicious! We had two orders. Our server was great. Attentive without overbearing. Looking forward to trying out the full menu next time. Did I mention the red velvet cake?
Cute trendy bistro, busy and hopping. Great, fast, friendly service. Food was absolutely delicious, fresh and high quality. Went on a Sunday right after church, they have a full brunch lunch menu that was absolutely yummy . We got the Greek salad with grilled chicken breast and the mixed kebab plate and the Mediterranean omelette not pictured. The salad was really good with a great lemon dressing and tasty seasoned chicken next time, I'm gonna try a chicken kebab instead, the kebab plate one chicken, one beef, was amazing so much flavor, tender, juicy, hot meat comes with rice and salad tzatziki and pita bread. The Mediterranean omelette had feta, spinach veggies, potatoes, toast and was really tasty. I'm so excited and can't wait for the Zov's in San Clemente to open.
Food was delicious!!! Service was sub-par - not sure why .... Ambiance Was beautiful !!
Fabulous! Mezze Platter is amazing ! Menu says serves 3-5. There was just 2 of us, but we couldn't resist all of the deliciousness it offered! They definitely do not skimp on the portions . I highly recommend this! Needless to say, we were completely full after sharing the platter. We even took some home. We ordered steak & chicken kebab to go. Service was great & friendly. We reheated the beef and chicken kebab meal later that evening for dinner and it was fantastic. I had ordered the beef kebab medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. I like a true medium rare, a warm red center with juicy tender meat. We will return!
Zovs is a great family owner business with attentive staff and great for large parties. We celebrated a friend's birthday and it has been great from Start to finish.
