ZOOM's history

Founded in 2004 and located in the heart of St. Petersburg, Zoom operates as a café, library, info-point, and art gallery. Starting with breakfast and ending with late-evening offerings from the bar and desserts, Zoom features European and Russian cuisine that is fresh, healthy and affordable. The Zoom library keeps track of the latest trends in fiction, non-fiction, art/culture, periodicals, and children's books. The Zoom info-point posts schedules and information about what's new in cinema, music, art, and theater. In its monthly exhibits, the Zoom gallery showcases predominantly young contemporary artists working in painting, graphics, video, and photography. To celebrate the tenth anniversary, Zoom is revamping its image. With a new logo and a new website already up and running, the interior is next!
