  1. I absolutely hate writing less than average reviews for businesses as I know some of them depend heavily on reviews for livelihood, but this place was just plain awful.

    I brought a friend here for breakfast one morning and I was hoping this place would soon be a local spot for me on mornings I didn't feel like making breakfast, but sadly, that will not be the case.

    Yes, the prices are a steal here, but really you are getting what you paid for. Initially, I thought to myself, "less than 5 dollars for eggs, potatoes, toast and coffee, wow what a bargain!"

    But then when I started eating my breakfast, I realized the price was too good to be true. I had sunny-side up eggs, and they were barely warm (kind of scary considering Salmonella and all). In addition, the potatoes were soggy and had a slight sour taste (not cool to serve patrons almost rotten food). And to complete out the mess, the butter on the toast was also funky, tasted like Vegemite, wait, that can't be right…

    What is confusing to me is that at 8AM, this place was packed to the gill with people. How is that possible? Are my taste buds off? I don't think so. I will not be stopping by again anytime soon. Such a shame this place was terrible, I really wanted it to be better…sigh.

  2. I dropped by on a Sunday afternoon for some brunch. I ordered two eggs sunnyside up with home fries and salami. (The order also comes with toast, which I declined). I washed everything down with a strawberry egg cream soda.

    The food was decent. Nothing very special about it. Though this is a diner, so I wasn't expecting much. The total bill came out to be $10 including tip.

  3. As of April 1, Zafis will remain open until 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday-Saturday.

  4. Short and sweet:  food is mediocre and prices are simply way too high for a luncheonette.  8$ for an egg salad sandwich?  Not many options in the area but regardless, I refuse to pay prices like that for mediocre diner food.
