Such an amazing spot! 6 of us went recently for afternoon tea and it was so worth it! The afternoon tea is $60 per person with a required deposit upon making the reservation. The seating is limited so be sure to reserve as soon as possible. They offer one tea person and a variety of different sweet and savory bites. We all got different tea options and each one was so good! My favorite was the cherry blossom. They also offer the option to add spirits if that's what you're looking for. My favorite bite was also the curry chicken salad. They also provide alternatives if you have allergies or intolerances. Our server was also amazing at making sure that we all received the right orders as one of my friends had an allergy. They also have an outside area that you can visit if you plan on staying longer and they have a beautiful garden you can walk by. There are plenty of spots for photos as well! Plan a visit soon!

I've only been here once and ate outside in the garden for brunch, which was beautiful! They also encourage you to walk around and take pictures while you are there, which is nice. It was a very hot day in July, so I felt bad for our server, but she was very nice and pretty quick. They also have a QR code that you can scan if you want to add to your order without waiting for the server to arrive. I ordered the BBQ Shrimp & Grits. It was very delicious! I will be to back to try their dinner .

Such an adorable hole in the wall! - this was my first time visiting and hearing about Zinnia. The afternoon tea experience was wonderful! Staff was very kind and lively, the inside AND outside makes you forget you're in silver spring, MD!! Flowers, plants and delicate decor. I had the cherry blossom tea, very light but refreshing. The little breads and sandwiches were SO cute and tasty.

The food here was soooo good! I got the quiche. The crust was so buttery and thick. The quiche had cheese, eggs, and mushrooms. It was perfect! The service was mediocre. The waitress was very nice, but wasn't attentive. The ambiance was so unique. There's an outdoor seating area in a garden which is so cute. Downstairs, inside of the building, was a tavern. The tavern was very cozy and cool!

I love this place. It's perfect for spring and summer when it's not too hot. It used to be Mrs. K's Tollhouse, which I had heard so so much about, but never got to visit before the change. This place has many functions -- it has multiple bars, multiple levels, afternoon tea, cafe food during the day, a dinner menu at night, an outdoor courtyard area with so much greenery, gazebo, and bridges out of a movie. I have had lunch there a handful of times -- including pastries, salad, tacos, and more. I have always enjoyed what I got. Working on a laptop is always pleasant, too. I need to try their dinner menu and their afternoon tea -- it sounds like such a fun time! I will be back in the near future for sure.

Service was amazing! They were accommodating of our 2 kids, brought champagne to a PhD celebration and filmed a wedding proposal! Food and wine were great -- the pork remolaude was a standout for something heavier. The cocktails we tried were ok, not their strong suit. Of the desserts, crème brûlée was our favorite by far. The stand out, of course, is that the atmosphere and setting cannot be matched. A simply divine outdoor dining experience. A lovely night, we will be back!

What a dream! The outdoor garden of zinnia is literally my dream restaurant garden and it was so beautiful to see it come to life. I started by going to the counter and ordering an iced vanilla latte and was told that you can sit anywhere in the garden and use the QR codes on the tables to order food and have it brought out to you, so we found a table over by the gazebo. I wanted something in the shade since it was a very warm day. We Noticed that there wasn't a QR code on our table, so I grabbed one from the table next to us to scan so we could order. However, when delivering our food the staff basically yelled at us for doing so (and ok yea I get that since the QR codes are tied to specific tables you shouldn't take them off of the tables, but if the section that we were sitting in was closed, they should've had a sign up or something to let us know Instead of coming over there and yelling at us. They should also say on the menus not to move them. There was literally no way we could've known any of that otherwise). Anyway, service was meh but the food and atmosphere was great. I got the Mediterranean bowl and a side of patatas bravas (carrot hummus FTW). I also got a lemonade and then the apple cider donut cake for dessert. We split a bunch of other dishes and the food was really delicious but I will say that you should be ready to serve yourself during the day and be prepared to follow a lot of unwritten rules. But it's ok because the garden is gorgeous enough that it's all worth it

I'm a life long silver spring resident and finally made my way to Zinnia this past weekend. Overall it was a great experience! Very unique and charming venue, friendly attentive staff, and a solid brunch menu makes this a fun local spot. The vibes of the place were probably the best part of the experience. The venue is a house with rustic interior and it felt like we were dining in someone's home for tea time. There are plenty of rooms which make for a great private dining situation, and everywhere else was bustling with a lively crowd. Our server was super friendly and welcoming, and gave us good suggestions for the menu. The food was good but not extraordinary. The eggs benedict could've used more hollandaise, though the salmon pastrami was flavorful. The menu had a lot of options though, will have to get the shrimp and grits next time. I look forward to taking out of town guest here for a cute dining experience.

Zinnia in Silver Spring has truly earned its place as one of my favorite restaurants in the United States. Chef Danny Wells and the entire Zinnia team have crafted a modern American menu that's simply exceptional, and their location at the iconic Mrs. K's Tollhouse adds to the charm. One of the highlights of Zinnia is their beautiful garden area, where dining becomes an enchanting experience. And when night falls, you have the delightful opportunity to roast marshmallows and create s'mores by the fire - a memorable touch that sets this place apart. I started my culinary journey with a Hendricks G&T and the cauliflower appetizer, both of which were absolutely tasty and set the tone for what was to come. For my main course, I indulged in the ribeye skewers, and they were nothing short of amazing - packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. To cap off this extraordinary meal, I couldn't resist the chocolate cake with vanilla. It was the perfect sweet ending to a memorable dining experience. The service at Zinnia is consistently on-point, and the atmosphere strikes a wonderful balance between cozy and elegant. It's the kind of place that makes you want to return time and time again for more culinary adventures and cherished moments. Zinnia truly stands as a culinary gem in Silver Spring, and I can't wait to savor more of their delightful creations in the future.
