Zoës Kitchen

I love Zoe's Kitchen, especially this one! The food is so tasty and the service is incredible! On our last visit, the cashier with purple hair (I didn't catch her name) was exceptionally kind and went above and beyond the standard for customer service. She really made our day! We'll definitely be coming back!

Given how good most of the reviews were, I was really looking forward to trying this place out. Mediterranean food is some of my favorite foods, and although Boulder already has a great Mediterranean place, I was hoping this would be another. I ordered the Chicken Kabobs with the rice pilaf and vegetables as the side. I figured I would start off with something pretty safe and easy to make to get a feel for the food. To my surprise, this was one of the worst meals I think I have ever had from a restaurant. I don't say that often because I have had some pretty bad food in the far depths of the wyoming frontier as well as side of the road huts in other countries, but this was just terrible. I didn't even finish the meal, and got some chips from the vending machine at work instead. To start, the chicken was overcooked and dry and seasoned with what I could only describe as a pre-made grocery store bought seasoning shaker that my grandmother had used at some point in her life. Rather bland and generic. The meat itself looked like it was seared on a griddle and never flipped over as it only had a browning flat mark on one side of it which just made that like unchewable texture of almost burned chicken that pulls from the meat. The rice, which was the worst part of the whole dish was literally the flavor of that cheap boil in a bag rice that I horrifically recall from my early college days. It was bland and had a stale buttery flavor to it. I only made it through a few bites and threw in the towel. The kabob vegetables which should of been on the skewer next to the chicken were just spooned over top adding practically nothing to the meal. The vegetables were actually pretty good for a sauteed vegetables mix, but the broccoli and carrot ratio is excessive. I actually counted 8 florets of broccoli, 12 slices of carrots, 1.5 mushrooms and 3 slices of onions. Granted I understand the scoop concept of bulk made mixed vegetables, but it was clearly deliberately built that way as the broccoli was all on top and not mixed throughout. I'm also not sure if the meal was supposed to come with pita for the kabobs as is kind of traditional, but I received none which I'm not really sure if that is a loss or not. The cookie which honestly was even somewhat mediocre had a nice label on the back with the nutritional facts..that were blank...which my co-workers and I got a hearty chuckle from. Overall I was pretty displeased with the food I got from my first try, but I would be willing to try it again because I just can't actually believe that the food came from here. It almost felt fake, like a child learning to cook made it at home. Moderate sized portions and bland generic flavors. Has potential and room for improvements.

The portions are very small, the flavors are really nice though, but you don't get much for your money. There are a lot of options for vegetarians as well as vegans, but it's a fast food chain that has full service prices. I'm surprised that there's no falafel option in the menu, I get the feeling it will be delicious if they were to add it ;) Came here few more times, there's no consistency with the flavors, it's hit or miss which is disappointing, just be aware of that. Update: 3/2018 They added falafel to the menu, it’s baked not fried. On one hand that’s healthier and on the other hand it doesn’t have authentic taste to it.

Zoe's Kitchen catered a 130 person event for my program. Everything was exceptional. Rebecca was SUPER responsive and attentive throughout the entire process and the food matched this excellence in taste. We will absolutely consider Zoe's again in the future and highly recommend them if you are seeking a reliable and delicious catering company.

So probably the last time i go to this zoes unfortunately. I hate writing revies but this is the third time something like this has happened. I went in at 8:20 so I wasn’t expecting the best service by anymeans since they closed in 40 minutes., but i just waited 40 minutes for cold food as I watched 3 other people who came in before me get their food. I know the cashier was flustered but when he asked about my order, the “chefs” in the back just laughed and told him to take a breath and chill out. They had my order ready but it was just sitting in the back and they hadn’t put it up on the counter. Now I know this isn’t a big deal but my food came out cold and I had asked for hot sauce twice and still didn’t get it, thats the third time without sauce as well. Zoe’s should stop hiring complete stoners to work the night shift.
