Getting here
Old Towne parking — the honest guide.
Café Zocalo sits on S. Glassell, just off the south side of the Orange Circle, in the heart of Old Towne Orange. It’s a walkable neighborhood — here’s how to make the parking part painless.
Street parking on S. Glassell
There’s street parking right along Glassell and the surrounding blocks. It’s time-limited, and the limits change from block to block — so glance at the posted signs before you walk off.
Walking from Chapman
It’s an easy walk from campus. Head toward the Orange Circle and you’ll find us just south of it on S. Glassell.
Weekend note: Weekend mornings are the liveliest, especially with the farmers market near the Orange Circle — leave yourself a few extra minutes to park.
