I had been going to Zephyr for two years, and was a big fan. In the last couple of months the place has changed ownership, and have turned a charming comfortable cafe into an all hours night club and hookah smoking joint. They play South-Asian and Middle Eastern techno non-stop and the garden is filled with thick tobacco smoke, which means the indoors area is packed. I was willing to tough it out with head-phones and an I pod and then the ownership started acting increasingly rude to myself and my study group, bumping into our chairs several times and harassing us for having cups of water that we brought in with us. The last straw came when they told a group of 6 of us that we had to leave because we hadn't spent enough money. This was after several of us had bought drinks and food. Bad ownership and the kitchen can't even get the food orders right. Used to be a great spot.
