By Zena European Specialty Bakery & Cafe

We visited By Zena in Moorestown and really enjoyed our experience! We ordered a cappuccino, red velvet cake, coconut milk cake, biscoff caramel cake, and a three-cheese Mediterranean pastry; everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was very kind and accommodating, letting us sit even though we arrived close to closing time. Since the kitchen was closed by then, we couldn’t try the sandwiches, but we’ll definitely be back earlier next time to try them. A lovely spot with great vibes!

I’ve come to Zena’s more than a few times now since it opened in September and each time it’s been delightful in a different way. The pastries are great and coffee is delicious! The service is excellent, and I love the decor. The only thing I’d have to say is that it’s hard to bring my friends with nut allergies here because there aren’t a lot of options for them. The baklava is made with walnut flour which causes a problem, and even the pistachio baklava that is supposed to only have pistachio seems a bit risky. One of my friends with a nut allergy ordered a caramel latte and started to get an allergic reaction. I don’t think she should have been getting a reaction when she ordered something she thought would be safe. Other than that, I love Zena’s and will continue to come!

The Harissa Roasted Vegetable Sandwich was phenomenal and alone worth the trip. The pastries and coffee were delicious and reasonable for the price. Overall I highly recommend stopping by for a sandwich or pastry.

Came here with my wife for the official opening (Monday) and I am incredibly impressed!! What a BEAUTIFUL shop this is with an incredibly hospitable staff. The owner was so kind and helpful when we asked a few questions. The cake/food/coffee SUPERB and the decor was so pleasant! We definitely will be coming back here many many many more times.

As a person who’s been buying from Zena’s home, I’m so THRILLED she opened a brick and mortar. The attention to detail with her establishment is so impressive. Her selection from chicken salad to fresh breads and hand made baklava, and the coffee. Everything is perfection. Love this place.

Finally! by Zena is the unique, delicious bakery & cafe that this area has been craving. Her European treats are mouth watering. From the moment you step to the front door, you’re wrapped in a loving embrace of beauty and fragrant smells. Her staff is friendly and welcoming- you can tell that they are excited by the environment as well. My favorite has been the “morning bun” with a dollop of cream and a raspberry on top. My husband and I have had her cookies, baklava, cheese cake, Belgian chocolate, croissants (the real deal), sandwiches and the best beef stew of all time. The menu is varied. Coffee is strong! There are also nice items for purchase lining a wall from adorable aprons to handcrafted coffee cups and other pretty things. The best part is that you can tell the Owner Zena is sharing her calling, her gift, her passion in this shop. It’s not her first rodeo. She has been a professional in the industry and won lots of awards. We are so fortunate to have her here in South Jersey. She’d do well anywhere she chose to open from NYC to Philadelphia- she’s that good.

Zena’s has been on my radar for a while, so I finally stopped by while I was in the area. I love supporting small businesses. It’s a cute little spot where you can sit and eat or order takeout. The staff seemed friendly overall, though they did appear a bit annoyed when I asked what items were. They have a menu for their breakfast and lunch sandwiches and coffees, but the desserts in the refrigerated display cases weren’t labeled with names or prices. The only dessert I immediately recognized was the baklava, which made it a little tricky for a first-time visit. I ended up getting a few items to go, and everything I tried was delicious—definitely the highlight of the experience. I would recommend Zena’s, especially for the food quality. Just hope it’s not too busy if it’s your first time there so you can take a moment to ask what the desserts are and decide what you’d like to try.

I had heard so many wonderful things about this charming little café that my curiosity finally won, and I decided to make the two-hour trip. I’m genuinely glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and every dish I tried was prepared with so much care and flavor. Zena’s award-winning cheesecakes were truly the highlight — perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and absolutely unforgettable. It’s rare to find a place where both the service and the food make you feel this taken care of. I wholeheartedly recommend this café to anyone looking for a cozy spot with exceptional quality. I’ll definitely be returning soon.

This place is spotless and clean and crisp and beautiful and everything including the plants as well as the desserts look perfectly placed. Everything has flawless designs and it's very nice and well put together. It's very light and airy and has a very inviting vibe so many wonderful and clever things for sale even the pottery vases that are up on the wall. They look like they are handmade and the mugs that say by Zena it's beautiful. I had commented on a social media post for their grand opening and we were invited to come in and meet with Zina herself. She was so gracious and lovely and her staff very kind and professional. They have a wonderful farm table with a big bench that's very inviting for families and so many people gathering and enjoying time together it's really a nice place to come. I'm so excited that this place is in town For All to Enjoy!! We look forward to the baklava we purchased and cannot wait to Come back to relax and enjoy More baked goods!!!

Latte & Croissant- delicious. Service was great. Beautiful space to get some work done (with my little jellycat lol).

I have wanted this cake for years and was never able to find it, hand down the best birthday cake I have ever had.

At this moment their store front in moorestown is not yet open, however I am patiently waiting!! We ordered a pistachio raspberry cheesecake from Zena for my sisters 15th birthday and it turned out beautiful! Genuinely great ingredients, great service, great flavor and texture! Couldn't have asked for a better cake and look forward to trying more things from the bakery on main street when it opens!

Crisp. Clean. Friendly. Great choices. Walking distance great. The bread and pastries are delicious. Enjoy the atmosphere
