Zi Pani
is a coffee shop – wait, it’s a bagel shop – wait,
it’s a sandwich and soup shop – wait, it’s all
those rolled into one. With a more modern décor than a deli,
Zi Pani Breads and Café offers a great selection of breakfast
and lunch foods for casual coffee shop style eating in, or for carryout.
Zi Pani offers a wide assortment of ground coffees, espresso, and
fashionable coffee drinks including chaitea, caffee latte, caffee
mocha, cappuccino, and espresso. If you think you might be a coffee
regular here,
consider splurging for the Zi Pani mug for $4.98 which gets you
20 ounce refills for only 71 cents. The bagels, made fresh daily,
come in about a dozen assorted flavors and are traditional New York
style. If you are buying bagels for the family or a get-together,
go for the $10.99 bagel deal – the “Zi Crowd Pleaser”
gives you a dozen bagels and 2 tubs of cream cheese. The bagels
here are fresh and tasty.
Zi
Pani’s other identity is that of a soup and sandwich shop.
It serves wonderful deli-style sandwiches – only grilled.
If you’re looking for something original and tasty, try the
Chicken Pesto Panini Sandwich. It’s a grilled chicken breast
topped with swiss cheese, pesto sauce, fresh spinach, sliced red
onions and ripe tomatoes on a fresh-baked herb focaccia bread. The
soups offered are tasty and served very hot. Other lunch offerings
include bagel sandwiches, specialty sandwich es,
and soups. The salads are fresh, but nothing exceptional or memorable.
A Krispy
Kreme Donuts display seems a misplaced fixture, and an odd fitting
for a gourmet-style experience. Zi Pani is conveniently located
in the Safeway Shopping on 32, just north of Liberty Road. If you’re
looking for good coffee, fresh bagels, or a nice lunch, you won’t
be disappointed. Remember that it’s a chain though, so it’s
lacking that homegrown mom and pop touch. That includes the service,
which is satisfactory at best – as seen on several visits;
on the last visit, our tray sat on the counter for several minutes
without anyone asking for it’s rightful owner before we claimed
it. Zi Pani’s will appeal more to the newer Eldersburg transplant.

Great breakfast sandwiches! If coffee is their specialty they need seek a new line of work. Men shd go solo there...eye candy heaven.
