Zummo’s Cafe

We like to stop into Zummo’s on a Saturday or Sunday when we have time to relax and enjoy some awesome coffee and good food to go with it. Today it’s chicken salad pitas and lattes — with some Electric City coffee beans to go. We only get to Zummo’s every 2 or 3 months — and we savor it when we’re here!

Top notch lattes, coffee etc. I live far from here but I love making a stop when I’m in town! Highly recommend for my coffee lovers out there.

I’ve been coming to zummos for a few years. I have to say their food and coffee has gone a bit south so to speak. Today I had the salad with black beans and chick peas. The ingredients were ok, but It was pretty bland and the dressing had little flavor. The soup was basil parm. It was filled with a ton of elbow noodles and very bland. I didn’t even finish it. Their food could use a bit more flavor. It all sounded good, but the end product was lacking. As far as the coffee? It was bitter and burnt tasting, and it should have been much more velvety and smooth. I’m an avid fan of electric city roasting and buy the beans and grind it myself and I’ve never had a bad cup until today. I’m assuming it’s not the beans. I hope it gets a little better because I used to love it here!

Hands downs best chai tea latte ever. Super awesome workers and environment. My husband got a latte and he too said it was one of the best he has had. Awesome place. Work recommend to anyone visiting Scranton.

Cozy atmosphere. Good selections of coffee and you’ll find best quiche! Also try their cranberry scone.

Amazing place! Mixed berry scone, Zummo’s oatmeal and Loyalty blend coffee. They had soy or almond milk for vegan options. Hallelujah, they brew with Chemex. Very impressed. Great hang out space!

We stopped here on our drive back to Havertown from Towanda, PA. It is a cute place with more space than you first see when you walk in. The service was quick and friendly. The lunch menu had two quiche options, two soups, two salads and two sandwiches. There were several coffee’s to choose from and multiple baked goods, with gluten free options spread across the counter. The four of us left very full and happy. This is a great little spot.

Top quality coffee. Hit Zummo’s as we passed through Scranton. We were looking for lunch and coffee, it was a Sunday, and Zummo’s came to the rescue. Great coffee, great baked goods, and excellent sandwiches. We did the beet burgers, which were very good, and the chicken sandwich, also good. Coffee was strong and well done. Will become a stopover on our fairly normal trips through Scranton.

Great place, friendly had sausage + pepper and my husband had chicken salad pita both very good, great coffee, but my favorite was the grilled oreo scone. Thank you Unilocal wouldn’t have found, but a great place.

Moving to Scranton from Miami has been a bit of a drag food-​wise, but little gems like Zummo’s have become a regular staple in my life.
Let’s talk about the food first. They’re café menu is cantina style with at least one soup, two quiches, two sandwiches and a salad new everyday plus a regular assortment of scones, muffins, biscotti, bread pudding and sweet danishes. The regular items on the menu include are the chicken salad pita and the scones/​muffins/​biscotti and they are regular items for good reason. The quiches are also out of this world and a generous size is always given. I’ve often brought a quiche back home to my family over the holidays and even the TSA airport security always joke about snagging a piece. They also boast a wide variety of gluten-​free options which can vary daily, so make sure to check out they’re Facebook page for updates everyday. Of note, they actually get they’re bagels shipped from New Jersey every morning instead of from National Bakery like the rest of Scranton and it definitely makes a difference. They’re my boyfriend’s favorite bagel in Scranton. And who can forget they’re renowned chocolate chip cookies who have won best cookie in town by the local paper. During the holidays, they sell the dry mix themselves with instructions for the wet ingredients and I always try to mail my family a big jar of it.
The coffee and tea selection is also great. Coffee is provided by the local roasting company Electric City and you can buy by the pound if you’d like. The menu is chalk written on a large blackboard which describes the highlights and tones of each specific coffee. You can elect to have a cup of their house which is already brewed and in a thermos, or you can try a specialty which is brewed fresh per order. The teas have a wide variety (my personal favorite is the citron green tea) and they even have a seasonal tea which is often combined with an herb from their personal garden. They also have their version of a frapaccino called a Zummie which is great for those hot summer days. Also available on the menu is a handful of fruit smoothies, however I have never tried one.
It’s also just a great space in general to hang out and chat with friends or hook up your computer and study. When the weather is nice, the put out chairs in their lawn so you can enjoy and bask in the summer sun. The baristas and bakers are just phenomenal and always are happy to help. They’re very knowledgeable, and if you become a regular customer, they let you open a tab so you can just pay later if you forgot some cash! This comes especially handy if you just want a tea/​coffee and all you have on you is a card as the card minimum is $ 5.
TLDR; overall, highly recommend with very few negatives.

Great coffee, teas, wraps, etc. Atmosphere is relaxed and comfy. Great place to hang and read, write or work from your laptop. Saw a group of ladies playing cards last week in their back room lounge. You can also take advantage of the outdoor porch or Adirondack chairs in the front yard.

Was in town for the night and came across Zummo’s. Ordered a coffee, turkey tomato quiche and a Cinnabon. The quiche was really delicious! Highly suggest. However I was disappointed by the Cinnabon, it was quite small which is unusual for a Cinnabon. I am also not a big fan of peanut butter and the Cinnabon I was given had a lot of peanut butter on it since it was on the same platter as the peanut butter Cinnabons.
Nice vibe though, not sure if I would return.

Cute, authentic café with decent fresh and homemade eats.
The place had great potential but I feel like my mom and I arrived too early to properly enjoy the establishment. My mom and I were making a trip down to Harrisburg super early in the morning on a Saturday. We ended up arriving right when Zummo’s opened at 6:30am. I was in desperate need for a coffee after waking up at 4am so I was looking forward to their various selections. After researching breakfast/​coffee places in Scranton, I was excited to try this local business. I was surprised by the number of people there for the time and it still being dark outside. Upon walking in, the baked items looked delicious. Especially the glazed smothered cinnamon buns. Going up to order, the only person manning the place was the cook. Apparently the barista wasn’t coming in until 7am. I really wanted a Irish Crème Latte in honor of St. Patrick’s Day coming up but the chef did not know how to make it so I would have had to wait until 7 to get it… I didn’t hold this against them since I saw a help wanted sign and figured they were understaffed. My mom and I each ended up with a Chai Tea Latte, which I thought was very good. It had a nice balance of sweetness and spice.
My mom and I decided to try their ham, tomato and cheese quiche and a raspberry scone to split. The quiche, unfortunately, was cold even though it was freshly made by the cook. I wish it was heated up a little but the I felt bad with how much the woman was rushing to be too concerned with it. It had great flavor though with plenty of ham and tomatoes and it was a decent size slice for about $ 5. You could tell with the scone that the raspberries were fresh and the taste of it was delicious. Although, the bottom was burnt which ruined it a little, it turned out fine.
Overall, I think this place had great potential and I hope to give it another chance in the future. The place itself was cute and homey with friendly staff.

Simply the best coffee money can buy. Such a great selection of them and the staff is always great.

Hidden gem amidst residential area. Friendly service and fresh baked offerings do not disappoint. Eclectic atmosphere with some real food. Not your skinny Minnie fare. Fresh baked scones — innovative pistachio and cherry — dry, the way scones should be, easily remedied with a pat of butter. Delicious quiche — ham and red pepper, pepper and cheese — so light, but satisfyingly filling. Breakfast peanut butter bun, a twist on a cinnamon roll, was decadent, as was the carrot walnut loaf. Generous servings. And let’s not forget the coffee. So rich and perfectly brewed. Definitely worth searching for… and finding!

Food is always delicious, service is always great, and the atmosphere is always a peaceful mello vibe. Great & convenient stop for a quick snack, dessert, or meal. Also many options for vegetarian/​vegan/​paleo eaters! One of my favorites!

Fantastic little coffee shop by Marywood University. Had the sweat potato veggie burger and it was delicious. If you are in the area, it’s a no brainier stop in for lunch.

I heard about this place from a friend and found myself in love.
They still use Electric City Roasting coffee beans and they have a ton of options for drip and espresso coffee. They have organic roasts and all varieties of roast intensities.
The food is made daily in small batches and I wasn’t lucky enough to get the quiche I wanted but did get the sweet potato and black bean soup which was great.
They also have an amazing range of desserts so don’t get too full! The place is actually big so don’t be fooled by the outside. Good local artwork for sale on the walls! A great find.

(4) ~ very good food & service. Note: it’s located in what looks like a neighborhood house, but there’s plenty of space in the other room. There’s also plenty of parking across the street in the School Lot. And I believe they still have a «Clover» Brewing Machine,(before Starbucks bought the company:(but it’s wasn’t advertised and I didn’t see it, so you may have to ask if it’s still available… If it is I would advertise it b/​c they make GREAT coffee;)
MY MENU:
* Sausage, Kale & Cheddar Quiche = (4) very good
* Ham, Onion, & Apple Sandwich = (4) very good
* Organic Coffee = (4) very good.

We came here based on the Unilocal reviews. I am so glad we came here! The café itself is soo spacious! There is a deeper area beyond the entrance and milk/​sugar station. This café has a very homey, café-​like feel. If I lived in the area, I would be a regular here in a heartbeat!
I ordered a spinach, leek, & feta quiche. It was a decent portion and so tasty! I wish it was a bit warmer, but nonetheless, it was still delicious! I love quiche because it’s a great way to consume some veggies! Their coffee is also pretty good! I really enjoyed my experience here! The staff was also super friendly!
