Delicious food ! Friendly staff
Unexpected courtyard at the back. Love the atmosphere. No service when we walked in. Had to find our own tables and get our own menus. Had to also flag down waiter to take our order. Hubby didn't get what he ordered and had to wait longer for his meal. Meal was good however service needs to be improved.
Waiter that served us was good. Very caring unlike other waiters we have experienced. Ie. Told me to look out for steps, noticed the wrong dish for hubbie (someone else brought our food) and picked out hubbie had something in his glass of water.
Dropped by at @z.i.a.kitchen for a brunch and to check out their Christmas installations. We ordered the lamb skewers and homemade popcorn chicken with the mango tango smoothie. The skewers were well-cooked, juicy and were accompanied by pita breads, salad and a delicious garlic sauce. The popcorn chicken were crispy and complemented well by the chilli aioli.
.
The proportions and pricing was satisfactory while the service was quite warm. The outdoor seating arrangements were beautiful with the hanging potted plants.
What a little gem in such an unexpected place. Love the garden out back, amazing friendly service and the food was delish. Great spot on the way to the airport but definatley worth making the trip there especially.
Fantastic Restaurant with an amazing setting in the outside yard. Beautiful Birds flying in the Aviary. The food is excellent-
Been here several times and never disappointed. Staff are super friendly especially Thomas the store manager. Food are always fresh and delicious. The wait for the food sometimes are quite long when its busy. Definitely should try their watermelon juice, i have tried other places but ZIA watermelon juice is the best one.

Really cute cafe on Canary Rd, easy parking out the front. Original menu and wholesome
Food options. Loved the omelette it was so tasty and hit the spot. Really good freshly squeeEd healthy juices and something sweet if you want to have a treat. Friendly staff and very lovely alfresco dining. A pleasant surprise.
Would eat here again for sure . Check it out if you are in the area.
this cute cosy cafe is a hidden gem in Roselands with a cute outdoor garden setting. The food was on point and coffee did not disappoint. Definitely will come back again.
Wow!! Seriously blown away not only by the food at this cafe but the decor and work that has gone into the interior! Absolutely amazing! The food was super tasty (one of the tastiest at a cafe I’ve had) and excellent servings for the price! Can’t recommend this place enough!!
Love it here! It’s like a mini The Grounds of Alexandria but in the suburbs. Everything I’ve had there is amazing! All the food is presented very well, great coffee and service is good. Would highly recommend!
Ambience is great
Food was high quality
Price was decent, wasnt too expensive in relation to quality of food
Customer service was decent, staff were friendly
Would defentitly go again👍🏼
Z.I.A. Kitchen is a verdant cafe oasis located on a suburban street in Roselands. The courtyard is resplendent with greenery and is a totally pleasant spot to enjoy coffee by Single O.
Two words: smashed avo! An absolutely delicious smashed avo with dukkah and Persian fetta! Service was a little slow, but the excellent coffee made up for the wait! Sweet tooth? You have to try their cookies! Big enough for two, but CHLOE DOESN'T SHARE FOOD!
Living out this way it can be tough to find a decent coffee and creative breakfast options - ZIA offers both to an underserved area.
Food ordered:
A bit of custom order - eggs, Avo and falafel. Long black and juice to go along.
The falafel was really good. A unique flavour and perfect crunch. The tatziki served with it tasted a bit cheap - maybe the yogurt? My eggs were cooked well and the avocado did its job!
The long black was also delicious. I was actually surprised at the great extraction and balanced flavour. The juice was a nice way to finish. A tangy zesty hit of vitamin C!
Ambience:
The staff are really attentive and friendly with everyone. There is ample seating and a few like me using it as a temporary office.
I am glad to have found ZIA here in Roselands and happy to replace a trip to the inner west for a cafe once and while.
Was seated straight away, received menus and the order didn't take long at all. Great customer service! I ordered the avocado toast and it was by far one of the most delicious meals I've ever had. All the flavours combined so wonderfully and the presentation was also great! Definitely recommend and will be returning to try the burgers that I saw walk past me!
A good friend of mine had been telling me about this cafe for ages as she knows I love the grounds.
I must say I was definitely impressed! The atmosphere in this cafe is great, very fun & fresh.
But the food is next level, we had the Avo on toast & the blue berry hot cakes. Both were Delish, but it's the small things like the bursts of pomegranate in your mouth as you eat the smash avo, and the fresh basil & strawberries on top of the hotcake that really completes these dishes.
And the grounds coffee is perfect as always!
The cafe was really busy so service was as to be expected in peak times.
I came to ZIA for lunch on a weekday. Love that they do all day breakfast! I ordered the smashed avo after hearing so much about it. The whole menu looked amazing so it was hard to pick. I've ordered avocado dishes a lot but this by far was the best and most generous serving I have had. Whatever flavours they added to the avo were sensational! And I swear they gave me 2 avocados! I was full the rest of the day. I also had the passionfruit soda which was okay but not anything special. My friends ordered the charcoal chicken, granola and chicken burger all of who were very impressed with their meals. For drinks, they ordered the watermelon crush, mango tango and choc-Nutella-choc thickshake. The watermelon crush and mango tango were great but my friend wasn't too impressed by her thickshake.
Service was very friendly here and I think prices are reasonable for the big servings you get
I Pounced on these guys as soon as they opened at 8am so had a little wait. Still very worth it. Great coffee by the grounds, and the two sweet breakfast items I had were both near faultless. The hotcakes were my favourite and one of the best in Sydney!
I love this place. Food is always ample and tasty.
Staff friendly and try their best to be attentive in their busy period.Coffee, food and desserts great.Check the busy period before you go so you are not disappointed as you may need to wait for a seat.
Z.I.A you are doing an amazing job!! I actually didn't expect much and stumbled this place on zomato. We were just two hungry humans that wanted to eat before flying out back to Melbourne and honestly, seeing that it's rated 3.. HOW??????? It exceeded WAY more than my expectations. It deserves more than a 3. Because of this, I had low expectations and just wanted a feed to give myself fuel for the day. This is one of the time you can't rely on zomato. Only thing I have to say is my green tea was too strong! I love how they used real leaves though. We ordered the breakfast burger and the blueberry hot cakes. Large portions and average pricing for it. I love how they were so generous with the bacon and the egg was nice and runny. My hot cake was definitely sweet with the nice creamy and blandness of the mascarpone. You can tell that they really do pay attention to detail and have impeccable presentation!

I was invited to the grand opening and decided to wait a little and a few visits later to put up my review.
Firstly let me start by saying how happy I am we have another class Cafe in my area.
The staff are very friendly and happy to chat about food and life, the food is well presented and inspired by the Grounds of Alexandria who had a hand in the set up of the shop.
Overall atmosphere and food make this a must
Great to see a new cafe in the area with good coffee and tasty food. Popped in for brunch and had a z.i.a burger, breakfast burger and coffees.
Coffee from The Grounds was good. Menu isn't huge but our food looked and tasted delicious despite a small wait. The polenta chips are so yummy!
Service was ok and everything is priced quite well. We'll be back even if it's just for coffee and a snack, maybe for some more polenta chips.
The staff here are really friendly and helpful, its not often staff actually tell people of the specials but this staff did and were very welcoming. The food is above average and is very fresh. The look of the whole place was really modern and exciting. I would definately go back to try some other things out.
Staff greeted us upon arrival and we were seated by a very friendly waiter who was very attentive.
This cafe had a very cool and cosy feel where you can either sit inside or out. We chose out to take advantage of Sydney's rare sunshine right now.
Our coffee came quickly and honestly was one of the nicest lattes I've had in a long time!
With generous servings, I could not fault our breakfast feed.
Negative note: the waiter seemed annoyed towards the end of the lunch hour when we ordered another coffee and sparkling water
But to end on a positive, the prices were reasonable and would love to come back for another hangover cure ;)
Brand new beautifully set out cafe in Roselands. Great service, great menu options and reasonably priced. Perfect to sit outside in winter as they have heaters. I've already been back twice and always busy!
Bookmark and go!!
Good experience overall serving quality coffee and food in a modern setting. I anticipate this place will become a hot favorite with the locals.
I can't tell you how happy I am that a decent cafe is in my hood about 800m from home. The coffee is by the Grounds. The food is tasty. I love the design of this place. Concrete flooring, timber and a lovely looking courtyard that had not opened yet the last time I visited. Earlier criticism about the coldness of the steel chairs appears to have improved with addition of their amazing new heating system.
