Zaro’s (EWR)
Click right to take a look around…
The soundtrack is tight in this bright enough (but not too bright) airport food court, where you’ll find Zaro’s managing the Newark morning traffic alongside Tonny + Benny’s and Starbucks. I was sure of this statement even before “Pocketful of Sunshine” by Natasha Bedingfield and “What is Love...” by Haddaway came on, with Ne-Yo and Jamiroquai taking the lead. At any of the three bar counters, you’ll find ample outlets—USB and three-pronged sockets. The counter stools are curious creatures, black vinyl pierced with a boho bullseye pattern centered on the sitting side of a sculpted seat and back, painted lime on the reverse. But, you probably won’t sit, just admire the gold of puffed pastry, French toast Monte Cristos, and lamps that resemble Lampy from The Brave Little Toaster—three jutting on the left side of three strips of TV screens and three on the right. “It smells so good,” breathed a woman who got in line behind me. Oh, she caught it, what this cafe has sought to bring to the B-Terminal table. With a commercial refrigerator and Baxter oven setting up the background and gapping glass panes separating customer from pastry-covered cookie sheets—but not from their blessed aromas—this dining option is the blow of the bakery bellows.

Drink: Coffee
When the woman handed the cup to me, it smelled really good, which got me so psyched. Then, I took a sip. It’s a story, ladies and gentleman, of the classic cafe tragedy. It was too hot and had that automated machine quality. In other words, it wasn’t dark; it was burnt. God, my immediate thought was how much I won’t be sad when I have to dump this drink at security. That’s bad. As it cooled, it did begin to grow on me. But, it fundamentally amounts to a burnt cup, and it isn’t worth the time.
