This is an awesome brunch spot but we seldom go because a lot of the dishes are pork based, and we don’t eat pork. That being said, they’re known for their slow drip coffee and unique breakfast combinations. Worth checking out! Getting there: From the drive way turn right (west) on Almeria. Make a left onto 3rd Ave. Walk one block. Cross McDowell at the light and walk two blocks until you see Zoe’s Kitchen. Make a left into the complex just past Zoe’s and you’ll see Vovomeena tucked away in the back on the left.
