Zakes Cakes Cafe - Fort Washington

Had a break between baseball games at Skip Wilson Field so we decided to try Zakes based on proximity and Google reviews. I called ahead and even on a Sunday midmorning they were able to seat us right away. The restaurant is in a converted stone house so there is a unique charm to the surroundings. We were seated on the enclosed porch which was nice, I prefer to eat outside but this was fine. After sitting for a few minutes our drink order was taken then shortly after our waitress took our order. Their menu is what you expect for a breakfast and lunch place. There were at least a half dozen items I would have liked to try but settled on the honey and lemon pancakes with raspberries. WOW these were good! Not only were they good but it was just a few minutes after ordering that the food came out. The staff was very friendly and attentive to the customers. Prices were reasonable for what you got, I look forward to eating there again. Additionally, they use paper straws not plastic, THANK YOU!

As a first-time visitor, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I decided to try the egg special, which included two eggs, home fries, and pork links. I asked for the eggs to be lightly scrambled with feta, and to my delight, the kitchen exceeded my expectations. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the feta was beautifully melted, not just casually thrown on top like I've experienced at many places before. Overall, it was an outstanding breakfast! The strong coffee complemented the meal perfectly, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was lively, with an engaged adult crowd. An added bonus was the Wi-Fi, which was great since I had my laptop with me.

I'm a regular at this restaurant. They serve incredibly fresh food, and the staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is charming. The eggs Benedict with home fries is absolutely delicious!

This place is finally open! We went for the first day of their reopening and it was my first time. Very lovely interior and it was quite abuzz. Very quaint paintings and cozy environment for dining. The food was quite good, though I think slightly overpriced. However, given that they were closed for a while for COVID, I was more than glad to pay the prices. Right now, I think they're open for breakfast, brunch, and lunch but hopefully they'll be open for dinner soon!

I really enjoyed my meal at this restaurant—poached eggs with crab cakes. The service was fantastic and very friendly, and the pastries are delightful as well. I’m looking forward to returning to sample other dishes on the menu. Just a heads up: during the Covid period, they offer breakfast and lunch from around 7:30 AM to 3:00 or 3:30 PM.
