I went here on a Sunday morning. It's a relatively small place, a corridor with about 5-6 tables. You're always within earshot of all of them. There is a cabinet with exotic looking wine on one end and the barista/cash counter on the other. There are a few snacks available as well, but the coffee is of course the main attraction. I thought I knew something about the espresso coffee variants, but I found myself stumped by the names of the drinks on there, and put on the spot, I went for the usual latte. Next time I will do more research beforehand and definitely pick one of the more exotic drinks. The coffee tasted great! Give it a try if you are looking for something different.

We call it "The Zocc." And so should you. Every coffee drink. Every biscotti. Look at the wine. Meet the friendly customers. In summer, sit out under the firs. Get a big paint-by-number of a clown, unpack it at a table, paint that sucker right up.

Decided to get a cold brew on nitro and my mind is blown. Leaps and bounds better then any cold brew I have ever had. I updated my review to a five star from a four star. This place is hands down the best coffee I have ever had and it is literally 2 minutes from my house! The baristas are knowledgeable and always polite. I love their outdoor seating it is a great place to chill and sip your Java.

Cafe Marzocca is a gem. They have a nice interior and exterior with plenty of fancy Italian espresso drinks. Wanna know what makes coffee even better? Wine tasting afterward! They have $10 wine tastings (with food included) every second Saturday of the month. This runs from noon to 3, and is veryyyyyyy popular, so come at least 30 min early if you want a good seat.

Finally decided to stop by today on my day off for my birthday. It was filled with regulars and everyone knew each other's names. My kinda place! My goal now is to be a regular. They had a few pastry samples on the counter and the menu was super clean cut and modern. Descriptions of each drink all with illy coffee. Got a cafe latte to go since I never know if my little one will decide to suddenly freak out on me. My little guy got obsessed with the peanut butter cookie samples and the barista said it was the last one and packed the rest of the samples in a bag for me. So nice! Also got the cranberry apple tart and it was delish! The cafe latte was a perfect pair. Can't wait to go back to earn regular status!
