Hidden Gem for Breakfast

Passed through Hartford on a trip and stopped at Zoju’s for breakfast. The food was delicious, made with so much care, and Anthony is the kindest person.

A great hidden gem

Once you look past the slightly odd location, you can appreciate the amazing food and one of the most passionate humans I've ever met: Anthony (owner).

The ever-changing hand-written menu was full of yummy options. As it was breakfast time, we went for a breakfast JustEgg scramble (first time trying this vegan egg) and crispy homed fries. We had homemade iced tea which was amazing and Anthony let us try some of his homemade seitan, which my partner said was the best he'd ever tried.

Pros: Personable , Tasty food, Lovely sourced products and eco friendly packaging

Cons: Random location, No signage

Amazing Lunch!!!

Even though it was a little hard to find so worth it!! Anthony was amazing and everything is made fresh right in front of you. The buffalo seitan had just the right spiciness!! Accompanied with brown rice and sautéed greens and mushrooms! Delicious food and a great vibe!

Great spot

There were mostly dishes in the menu I wasn’t familiar with. If you are in the same boat, I suggest you give this place a try, I thought everything was delicious. The owner is very friendly and puts a lot of care into his food.

Go into the 111 building, sign in, and walk ahead and to your right past the piano.

Pros: The food , The friendly atmosphere

Amazing Food & Service

There is no sign outside but you just got into the building marked 111 and it is the first place after the sign in on the right. There is no sign outside at the moment but he is working on getting that soon.

Anthony has a great personality and treats every customer with a smile. He is very passionate about his food and it shows as everything was amazing. He uses organic and clean ingredients and in some cases cooks Fresh everything for you. Clean, friendly, relaxing, and delicious. All things that make this a 5 star experience. You will be happy you came.
My personal favorite was the dish I had. Sofrito Garbanzo. It was so delicious I am thinking of getting more to go🥰.

Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Great pricing

Cons: Little confusing to find but not a big deal., Needs a sign outside.

A true gem for vegan in Hartford!

ZoJu is a true gem, tucked away within the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) building, giving you a speak-easy vibe. You can enter through the front and talk to security to enter or the entrance around the back.

I ordered both breakfast and lunch on my way to the office. For breakfast, I had the Sausage & Cheez Sandwich with Just Egg. The sausage in the sandwich was well spiced and so delicious in a soft roll. Chef Anthony also provided a homemade sauce with cayenne and tumeric that paired nicely with the Just Egg. For lunch, I ordered what Chef Anthony recommended, the A1 BBQ Seitan with a side of seasonal local kale, mushrooms and scallions. To have the best eating experience, chef Anthony shared re-heating instructions. Everything was delicious.

Chef Anthony is clearly passionate about cooking and serving delicious, healthy foods. Thank you!

Highly recommend for a quick breakfast or lunch if you are in Hartford area.

Yummy Treasure

I had a wonderful breakfast scramble with hash brown side.
This place is a little tricky to find! But it’s in the building the gps brings you too and you’ll be glad you found it. Big flavor!

Pros: The cook , The Salsa , The music

Cons: Hard to find

Nice spot!

Hard to find - no signage outside. You go around the right side of the building to a propped open door to get in.
We all enjoyed our food.
1 man show with rotating menu. Very much still feels like a place getting its legs under itself, but everything was delicious! Will be back.

Check it out!

Homemade afrolatino vegan food in the CREC building. We have butternut squash soup, seitan empanadillas, and sofrito garbanzo beans — all bright, spiced, and delicious! We’ll be back for breakfast!
