“Casual Mixed Crowd and Very Gay Friendly”
Zinc functions as a cafe, restaurant, gourmet take-out market, and a shop for simple retail gifts. They operate three locations across CdM, Laguna Beach, and Solana Beach. Their food is excellent. It's the local spot to catch up on neighborhood news and character.
