I don't think there is any "hype" for Cafe Zen. It's as you said, a decent solid place for breakfast. Nothing mindblowing or anything. I wouldn't purposely drive out of my way to eat breakfast there but if I'm in the area I would drop in. Not a fan of Sophie's Cafe.

I went to Nomad for a late evening snack and left with a very bad impression. Service was horrible, only 2 tables there and waitress spent pretty much the entire time chatting with her "friends" at the other table while ignoring us. The business hours on google says they open till 12, Yelp says it's open until 2am.
We went at 10pm looking for a bite and drinks, she told us we can only order 1 drink and then threw us the bill at the same time.
Maybe I'll give them another chance for brunch because RS recommends it lol.

I've never been, any tips or favourite dishes I should try out?
I'll be working Friday (when am I not lol) so don't be shy and say hi! I can give you some ideas on what to order.
Get the Foie Gras sushi. RS Special.
