I have never been disappointed with the quality of the items at zest! I previously have gotten their smoothies and scones but today I tried a vanilla iced coffee with Oatmilk, and it was fantastic! The coffee is very high quality and you can definitely taste it. The syrup is not overly sweet and you can tell that it is house-made. The service is always great, and drinks always come out quick. Zest is a must try if you are in the area!

Wish I could give more stars. It's a quiant little coffee shop. Small area for sitting. I went by after picking up some paint right next door at the Ace. I was going to get a latte but saw they had apple cider. I got an iced caramel apple cider and a smores cookie. The drink was HORRIBLE. The caramel used must have been used for lattes/machiattos because it had a bitter, coffee taste to it. I got a large (only small or large for iced drinks apparently) and it's the size of a McDonalds small, which is crazy. Smores cookie was OK but not worth 4$. I'll stick to Bakers Dozen.

Very nice staff, nice little spot, good coffee and good treats. Come here for a local feeling coffee restaurant with charm.

Barista knows her craft. Good quick stop before hitting the road or out for the weekend. If your other local favorite isn't open yet, again, give Zest a try.

Love this place. The coffee I think is weak, but I get an extra shot to take care of that. Staff is always very nice and make sure your order is right even when busy. The treats are very good, and though it can seem pricey, it’s not some mass produced products. The scones are my favorite, so many varieties and not bone dry like some scones are. they have one dollar peanut butter dog bones that they make and I routinely get some for my pups :) Can get really busy quick because there’s usually only one person working. Only downside is sometimes the treats like whoopie pies seem stale or dry.
