Zanzibar Brews now open in the King Lincoln District

By: Walker


A second coffee shop called Zanzibar Brews just opened on Long Street in the King Lincoln District, a mere five months after the first coffee shop (Urban Spirit) opened just a few blocks away. Is this up-and-coming neighborhood ready to support two independent coffee shops?

According to their website, Zanzibar will serve a variety of breakfast items, sandwiches, soups, salads, wraps, and desserts in addition to coffee. Their hours are from 7am to 9pm, with extended hours on Fri & Sat (11pm) and shortened hours on Sunday (8am to 7pm).

    Motorist wrote He said that they expect to be serving liquor in about a year and they plan to have live music. Not sure why the long delay, maybe it takes a while to get a liquor permit?

    I just got an email from them that said they’re looking to have their bar set up later this year.

    A separate email informed me that the vibe should be very similar to MoJoe Lounge.

    Oh good, I was worried. I think they should be able to hang in there til then.

    Just stopped in and noticed that Zanzibar had the bar set up. The employees told me that they’ve had it up and running for about 3 weeks now. They put it all away during the day, but they start serving at 4pm and have a happy hour that runs 4pm to 8pm. Live music on Saturday nights too.
