We are so happy to be easing back into the swing of the things at the Cafe. It has taken a little longer than I hoped as we are basically starting from scratch.

I've ordered catering 3 times from Dawn at Zuzu's and every time she has provided excellent customer service, accurate and on time order, and the food was delicious! I've ordered, pasta, meatballs, chicken, salmon, potatoes, rice, couscous, veggies and more...can't think of a single complaint about the food! The menu is large, you are able to customize and mix and match to order a different meal every time. I need to feed small-medium groups of people regularly as part of my job, and Zuzu's has become my go to caterer! Will order again!

We ordered from Zuzu's for our Christmas Eve dinner. I had the tenderloin, which came with brussel sprouts and potatoes that were kinda like au gratin. The meat was cooked very nicely and was tender and well seasoned. The potatoes were tasty, and the brussel sprouts were excellent- they didn't have that bitter aftertaste that you sometimes get with them. I would definitely order from them again!

This is an amazing little place in the center of Wakefield- they have a large selection of sandwiches, soups and more, made to order. I love their sandwiches and wish they had the Thanksgiving Panini year round! (Hint, hint) :)
It’s a very small place so you may have to wait, but they have a nice outdoor seating area and a small indoor seating area. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Check it out if you’re in the area!

Warm Cozy Quaint and Wonderful .. ..
First visit today and it was a meeting place for Me and my son who lives about 2 minutes walk from this little place. The omelet (make your own) was exceptional and the sandwich special my son was excellent.
The day was cold and rainy but a steady stream of people came in to get lunch and/or dinner while my son and i enjoyed the comfort of the dining area and had a great lunch together and a great visit!!
Thank you Dawn for a great addition to Wakefield!

I was taking a mental health day from work last week and just had to get outside and enjoy the spring air. I researched local eateries that had outdoor seating and made my way down to Zuzu's. Though most of the tables were roped off to the side, I noticed a couple open ones in the front, so I proceeded.
The small shop is quaint and cute, but the menu is ample. The sandwich selections sounded scrumptions and I had a hard time picking just one. I finally settled on the French Chicken that includes grilled chicken, goat cheese, asparagus, tomato, greens and herb mayo. You get your choice

My lovely Daughter suggested this 8 table quant place for Vegetarian food but they also serve Salmon, Chicken, Beef, Lamb with there Sandwiches, and pairings I ordered a chicken Panini and a Veggie Quiche slice was so filling never needed the Panini that was out of this world with Field greens juicy Chicken Breast was great all by itself. The Quiche was very fresh great flavor perfect textures fabulously made. Christa had the Portabella mushroom and Asparagus sandwich on superior Marble with field greens 95 lbs she is soaking wet. Ate every bite this place is tucked away. You must try it out. Down

One week before Mother's Day I decided to order food from Zuzu's catering menu. I didn't want to cook, nor have my wonderful Mother in Law cook either! Ordering was a cinch, quick emails with Dawn and we were set.
We ordered the Caprese Bites, Garden salad, Mediterranean Chicken and Eggplant Parm. All really delicious and were big hits. Although, the chicken was the clear winner and the flavor was so spot on! It even heated up well for lunches the following week.
Usually I don't give flat out 5 stars for trying something the first time, but I am confident that when we

Quaint, small cafe offering fresh and delicious food!!! Stopped in while taking a break from visiting hours at a funeral. Walked in looking for coffee and ended up staying for a impromptu brunch/snack! Food made to order, or came from wide selection of pre made items. If back in Wakefield, would stop again.

Zuzu's is a cute lil' lunch spot right on Main Street in Wakefield. Don't let its quaintness fool you though - this place has quite a sizable menu.
Big bonus points for breakfast served all day! On my latest visit, I got a breakfast sandwich (egg/bacon) on an English muffin. It was a simple choice, but it was wonderful!
On past visits, I've had various combinations of sandwiches with chicken / bacon / cheese / lettuce / pickles. All were solid. Portion size is reasonable - a big enough sandwich that you can *probably* finish it all in one meal, but can also stretch it out

Picked up lunch for a few of the girls @ the office today & will defiantly be back. I got the broccoli kale slaw & the turkey & brie wrap, so delicious. I couldn't finish all the slaw (but will tomorrow) & I wish I ate my wrap slower but couldn't because it was so good. I would definitely recommend!

Had lunch here today! The food is beautiful and fresh, the salmon and quiche were cooked to perfection. The outdoor patio to the front is a super cute place to overlook downtown WAKEFIELD and the lake. Dogs are allowed on the patio as long as they behave. Very enjoyable lunch. Zuzu's is definitely a stellar lunch spot in Wakefield. I don't even write that m y reviews! Awesome

This place is so cute. I have been a couple of times before and really liked it, so I took my mom for lunch today. If you are looking to enjoy a gourmet, relatively healthy lunch (outside!) then Zuzu's is definitely the place for you. The patio is a little small and the food takes a little while, but that's only because they get busy and the sandwiches are made to order. I had the turkey and Brie as a panini on Tuscan wheat (thick slices of turkey, Brie, apple slices, fig jam, greens... added side of pesto). So fresh and delicious. My mom enjoyed a vegetable panini with goat cheese and

Small local business doing it right, and there's nothing more you could ask for. The layout of the business definitely looked like it thrived more in the summer than in the winter. There's a giant patio that was closed due to the season, but I can imagine how busy this place is when it's warmer outside.
There is a pretty big menu, all varieties of sandwiches, which is perfect for lunch. I grabbed the zuzus chicken salad sandwich, which came with chicken salad, cheese, a slice of apple, and greens. I opted for it to be put on a croissant, because I wanted something different.

I used Zuzu's Cafe for catering for my Mom's 60th birthday party. The food was amazing: we had the herb-grilled salmon, teriyaki steak tips, and pesto pasta. Worth every penny. Dawn even delivered it to my Mom's house with the food all still hot. I received many compliments on the meal from the 30 guests who attended the party.
One suggestion: I think communication could be clearer in the days/weeks leading up to the event. I know as a small business there is a ton going on, but at times I wasn't sure of the status of my order. Probably could be easily solved with either someone

Came to Zuzu's while looking for a nice place to get both coffee (for my friend who already ate lunch) and food (for me, because I hadn't eaten. And also because I am basically a human vacuum who is always hungry and always DTE -- Down To Eat).
I was pleasantly surprised by the large, panini-heavy menu! They put the DELI in DELICIOUS (yep, that happened). It took me a good fifteen minutes to make up my mind, but ultimately I decided on the Chicken Caprese Panini, and a half casear salad.
I sat outside and the food was brought out to me. Everything was really fresh -- the bread was

I was recently at the Floral Way Festival in Wakefield on the lake sponsored by The Wakefield Garden Club. The club had sandwiches from ZuZu Cafe and they were outstanding!
I had a ham and a roast beef. The sandwiches were in the form of a wrap and were delicious with abundant greens and a smooth cheese and meat. I felt transported to a gourmet world.
The combination and experience was outstanding. It has been awhile since I had experienced ZuZu magic and I am sure I will now be at the cafe an obsessive amount of times coming up.
