They have a great cup of coffee, and great food. Love the atmosphere. I wish the chairs were more comfortable, and they had internet. As a result I find myself studying at mars a lot more... but Zanzibar's definitely has a better cup of coffee.

Zanzibar's has a wonderfully artsy atmosphere. The coffee is rich and perfectly brewed. They also serve a pretty mean breakfast - eggs are steamed using the expresso machine.

Fabulous coffee, lattes (especially the foam) and great iced chai. I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves coffee shops for both the coffee and the atmosphere, and this comes from someone who has been in Seattle the past two years. My one negative remark would be that there is no wi-fi, but then again I guess that could be a good thing.

Zanzibar is the perfect place to go for coffee, relaxation, and reading. A local place with a great staff and awesome coffee, it's easily the best place to go for a cup of joe in Central Iowa.

As all the beans are roasted on the spot, it's easy to pick up a pound for brewing at home. My favorites are Ethiopian Yirgechef and Celebes Kalossi.

zanzibar's features absolutely THE BEST coffee around: city/state/midwest, whatever. the beans are small-batch roasted, and are always very fresh. beans can be purchased online, and can be shipped anywhere. beverages are prepared and served in TRUE old-world fashion by some of the best baristas in the business. their little patio out back is a little-known secret. definitely the place to go to meet, eat, chat, read, or just to catch a buzz.
