The zinc café/gift emporium is set in an old re purposed stationery shop and very reminiscent of days gone by , the zinc's atmosphere is tranquil and relaxed with a boutique style approach to your shopping experience and also has a very good selection of cards and souvenirs that are very unique and of a very high quality and are at reasonable cost for a tourist area . The zinc dinning experience is truly a pleasure and portion sizes are generous and presentation of meals is of a very good standard . The zinc is a great place for a good cup of coffee !! which is a high quality blend and medium bodied with a good depth of flavour , that compliments the food here on offer , and is the ideal after dinner drink with a slice of one of the very special fresh baked specialty cakes they have here in abundance ! . I myself have tried most and prefer the cherry Bakewell which seems to have a great following with the locals and visitors alike . The zinc's tea is also very good and is served in your own tea pot and is the more traditional leaf tea and should please the more serious tea lover . The zinc's savory selection and baguettes are very good value and my RECOMMENDATION is the bacon brie and cranberry served with a light salad and a side of crisps , and is an ideal warm up snack when it's a cold day . The zinc's staff are friendly and welcoming and always make the zinc dinning experience a special treat . So if you like a good cup of tea or a good quality coffee with tasty snacks and freshly baked cakes and good levels of service the zinc could be the place for you ! .
