The latte macchiato was delicious and the burger is very goood!The menu was like a newspaper, very unique. The ambiance was also very special, like dining in a clothing store – a novel experience. The service was excellent, I'll definitely come again!

Top Café near the Gale Beach. Integrated in a surfshop it serves very nice surfer style breakfast combos. Very good coffee and u do sit outside. The stuff is very kind and easy, as surfers are. Sitting outside with sea view is so nice!🔥🔥👌🙏

Food was delicious! Enjoyed sitting outside in the morning air. The food was full of flavor and was an adequate portion. We left full and happy! Staff is very polite.

Great place to stop for breakfast before the beach! The atmosphere was casual and slow paced and the food was good.

Love this gem of a cafe! Service is always amazing, food is so fresh & yummy. Had the yogurt bowl, fruit bowl (banana pure so good), cheese toast, chicken salad. Prices very reasonable, beach just down the street with the most amazing sunsets I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend 10/10.

Always try to get to Zimzala when in Gale. Had tuna salad and hummus dish today and as always it was absolutely delicious and really fresh. Staff always really friendly in one of the most chilled places you will find in the Algarve!

Rented bikes from Zimzala. Great service from Mauro. The bikes were all set to go when we arrived and Mauro sent us the map with a suggested route. The bikes were good and a bike seat for my child was provided. Would highly recommend.

A very nice coffee,cafe/restaurant. Lovely sunny, relaxing terrace & first class coffee & menu. BUT! Customers on the next table had a French bull terrier dog, sitting on a seat & eating off the table!! It appeared the management made no attempt to prevent this. Dogs on terraces fine, but sitting o…
