Retro style cafe with very comfortable sofas and chairs. The 5$ milkshake are awesome and addictive. This place is known for hosting various performances like comedy shows, singing, concerts etc. You will just keep on coming here.

Great shakes in a fun atmosphere. Equally good for studying and socializing.

Good coffee and nice atmosphere. Perfect for getting some low-key studying done.

I've seen both bands on the rise and bands on the decline here. So if you want to stand just inches away from your future (or past) idols as they perform, come here! There really are lots of things to love about BOTH: very little pretension, cheap tickets prices (no exorbitant fees!), cheap drink prices, cool little patio area, small setting, easy parking, food on offer (can't fully recommend though....). Sometimes the sound system goes through kinks and there are delays. But it's all part of the charm, right?

Delicious milkshakes, well priced coffee. Definitely worth a visit.

Student run and student owned, Ground Zero has amazing milkshakes, coffee, lattes, and much more. It's always served with a chill vibe full of memes and smiles. I love hanging out here!

Came here while visiting USC, the drinks are really good and unique.

Ground Zero Performance Café was a disappointment. The latte was lukewarm, and the pastries were bland. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience, and I won't be returning anytime soon.
