Came back to Old Towne Orange with friends for another round of eating, drinking, and wandering and of course, we had to stop by Zinc Café & Bar, a spot I stumbled upon last year and instantly fell in love with.
This place sits right inside the Plaza Historic District, an area that used to be the heart of Orange County’s early citrus industry. The building itself was built in 1922 and originally housed the Sunkist Orange County Fruit Exchange， yes, actual vintage orange history!
Zinc moved into this gorgeous building around 2023 as I remembered, and considering their first-ever location opened in Laguna Beach back in 1988, we came in with slightly higher expectations… and the vibes definitely delivered.
They’ve got a cozy patio where sunlight falls in just right, surrounded by a bit of greenery, perfect for slow brunch moments. Inside, they kept the original high ceilings and huge windows, and there’s even a small bar area you can reserve for private events. Overall, it’s giving that chic, modern American brunch energy without being too fancy. Totally the type of place you go to for coffee, tea, and long conversations.
We went all in on brunch and ordered:
• Middle Eastern Breakfast
• Asparagus & Mushroom Omelet (with potatoes)
• Avocado Toast
• Baja Fish Tacos
• Shrimp Tacos
• Cappuccino
• Mocha
• Matcha Latte
• Passion Fruit Iced Tea
• Latte with lavender syrup
Food was solid, portions were big—we were stuffed.
Service was friendly and chill. They checked on us just enough without hovering, which I really appreciated.
After brunch, we walked around Old Towne to admire all the Halloween decorations, people here go all out!

I often hit up Old Towne Orange, but I had no clue about this spot — total hidden gem!
I can see they use the space super efficiently. Food was great, service is the best!
Definitely coming back!

Zinc in Orange has a really nice ambiance, perfect for a casual yet stylish meal. The pizza, burger, and sandwich were all delicious and definitely worth recommending. The only miss for me was the Thai salad, which was just okay compared to the other dishes. Overall, a great spot with solid food and a relaxing atmosphere.

We are here to use the Amex Gold Resy dining credit. Unfortunately the experience was not great. The coffee and pancake are good, but do yourself a favor and please don’t order the chilaquiles. The chips were soggy and sad.
Great location and beautiful historic building though!

Such a cool little, quaint restaurant. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Has a unique style to it from the inside as it gives cafe, restaurant, and snack bar vibes. The outdoor seating seemed pretty chill and relaxing. Liked that it has tall gates to provide privacy. The food was tasty and well plated. Nice place for a date or a social gathering. Definitely recommend the cheesecake! So thick and creamy. The service was great. Very attentive, but not imposing. The bathrooms were a little messy.

The food wasn’t as good as I expected. The sliders were mostly bun not a lot meat. Truffle Burger , no truffle flavor, just a misfit of combination of things. truffle fries did not have truffle flavor. Just looked like leftovers taking away from the whole meal. I

Every dish I’ve gotten here so far has been delicious! The little bar they have is a sleeper hit – go in the main entrance and check it out just to the left. Great ambiance, amazing bar tender and full menu available. The charcuterie board was AWESOME! Don’t expect anything previously frozen or anything less than fresh.

This was our second time on this fantasic restaurant. Perfect location on this corner restaurant at the heart of Old Town Orange near the Rotonda Circle. We normally also go to the one in Laguna Beach. Shot out to Yesenia our server who gave us excellent service. She even came n with the cake and candle for my Birthday which made it most memorable

The waiter was professional, friendly, and gave great recommendations. The food in general was good, and the coffee was excellent. I sat inside, which was nice and not too noisy as there were only a few people. The only downside was that parking can be a bit of an issue. Overall, a good experience.
