I always appreciate restaurants that are a bit far from the mall/town fuss. It's a little bit of a drive, but I enjoyed getting to discover this place.
It's quite an interesting spot, I wish I had taken more photos and videos, but it was a little crowded, and I did not want to have a camera in people's faces. I love how clean and simple their aesthetic is. It's not overbearing but just a spot where you can hang out and enjoy your meal with friends, family, or solo.
I was not that impressed with my sandwich. I ordered an avocado and salmon sandwich (as an alternative because they had stopped serving breakfast when I tried to order it at 11:30) it was quite dry. I chose the sandwich and fries, and the fries were just as hard. It was underwhelming for their priciest sandwich to taste like that. Their menu is quite limited. There's not a lot that they have to offer food wise besides the sandwiches/salads/desserts, so it might not be for everyone.
I did enjoy the mixed berry smoothie, the chocolate brownie was sweet, and the cappuccino was so good! Those three made up for the sandwich (which I am still going to complain about, rightfully so).
Their service was apathetic. The main waiter assigned to me, left me unattended to countless times and other waiters were helpful but still just as inattentive, I had to keep looking out for someone to help me even with the basic stuff. The whole 3 hours spent here, even after it wasn't as crowded, the service was not great.
They have a good wine and coffee selection that looked interesting. That would be something to go back for.
Whenever I’m in Lusaka I use Zambean for my meetings and to have lunch. The food is great tasting and very generous portions. The only reason why I marked them down is the waiting staff is not attentive and don’t check in regularly if you need something you need to look for them. Nonetheless this is an amazing spot in Lusaka!!!
Nice place, albeit relatively far out of town. However, it's a nice place to meet, have coffee and some food. Parking is good. It's only the service that let's you down a bit, not attentive enough.
Finally got to dine at The Zambean Coffee Co. love the outdoor seating area in the garden perfect for a sunny day. Very friendly and welcoming service limited but great food and drinks menu. I had hazelnut iced latte, mixed berry smoothie and smoked salmon sandwich! Just amazing. Loved it.
