Just went by, and this location says it is permanently closed. Such a shame, as it was One of the few restaurants where I could get a nutritious plant-based meal.

I will definitely frequent this establishment again! Great customer service, friendly conversation, actually seems to LIKE their customers. I had the "sausage" biscuits and gravy and it was AWESOME!

The slowest/worst service I have seen. One person takes order and then disappears in the back while four others walk around. Meanwhile the manager/owner peeks out every few minutes and does nothing. I ordered a bowl, a simple bowl that I could've walked behind counter and made myself. Oh wait, I can make it myself at home, which is the future plan. Avoid if you value service.

We've eaten here twice for lunch now and plan on returning. Very good food whether you want meat or plant based. I'm hooked on the meatless "Beyond Burger" option for only $1 more. I grew up eating burgers but long ago gave them up. If you haven't tried one of these new "Impossible" or "Beyond" options you should. I also recommend the fried Zucchini sticks, the sweet potato wafer fries and the Starbucks quality coffee drinks. I really hope this place sticks around!

First visit and it originally caught my eye because the sign advertised Berserker coffee. We'd enjoyed their cold brew at the J-Town Farmers Market. The website stated breakfast was available until 11a but when we arrived the sign listed breakfast was available all day. The building is deceptive. There's a lot of seating inside, from high top tables and stools, booths and seating area with couches and lounge chairs. A few tables sit outside on the patio. Two counters take orders - one for food and smoothies, the other for coffee. There's also several IPads for ordering. The coffee situation was a bit odd today. No one was manning the counter and when someone did arrive it was the same person that took our food order. She told us Berserker had pulled out. That was disappointing to learn and greatly limited the coffee options. We ordered 2 large dark roast coffees which totaled a little over $6. It had an odd flavor and aftertaste. After a few drinks I threw it away. My food order was biscuits and gravy. I paid the extra dollar for vegetarian sausage. The two biscuits were good but very thin compared to other restaurants; however, the gravy and sausage was plentiful and fairly good. I'd eat it again. My husband got the French toast. It was a large portion - 6 half slices. You could split it depending on you appetite. The vanilla flavor was subtle so we were happy when they had syrup to put on it. For protein he added a couple of cage free eggs. We'll skip this next time for another menu option. Only one bump today - we were charged for an extra French toast (which was quickly refunded). We learned Sunergos is coming to ZESTE and will run the coffee shop. I'm excited to hear this and it will bring me back for a second visit. (I also feel for them as everything needs to get updated - the website, menu, electronic screens). I'm also interested to try a smoothie. ZESTE is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu includes kids meals. Main choices are savory bowls, açaí bowls, salads, soups, flatbread pizza, sandwiches and smoothies/juices.

I love the rebranding of this place. It's so airy and comfortable inside. The food is so fresh and quickly prepared. This location is a little odd and out of the way but don't let that scare you away. I was blown away with the flavor without meat. But I was so pleasantly surprised at how filling and delicious my meal was. I'm slowly wading into more organic vegan eating options and this one is now on my shortlist. Staff were courteous and attentive. I didn't try the juice but I might next time! Nice work, Zeste!

Amazing! A vegan/ vegetarian's dream. I am a vegetarian and loved that I could choose from so many vegetarian options instead of that one black bean burger or salad like so many restaurants I go to. I picked the Zesty Classic Burger with a Beyond burger patty, vegan mozzarella and a side of fried pickles. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, it's fresh, tasty, and looks yummy too! My boyfriend, who loves his meat was disappointed when he found out we walked into an all vegan/ vegetarian restaurant at first, but after tasting his food, he quickly changed his mind and agreed that he couldn't wait to go back.... even though we live an hour and a half away.

Service was great and food came out fast. I ordered the Tex-mex beyond burger with zucchini fries and Fiesta Fajita Pocket Pita with sweet potatoes fries. The burger was good. The brioche bun was a little heavy but it complimented the burger and made it more hearty. The beyond burger is seasoned well. Had more flavors than I expected. I would definitely order it again. The zucchini fries were soggy, oily, and I did not care for it. As for the Fiesta Fajita Pocket Pita with soy beef and sweet potatoes fries. I loved the fries, unlike the zucchini ones this came out crispy and tasted delicious with the sweet chili dipping sauce. It is an usual combination but works! The overall taste of this dish is good but the execution could have been better. The first bite into the pita, it was drenched in the cilantro lime sauce. You have to get through the sauce and soy beef to get through the mixed salad at the end. It was pricey but I would come again to try other dishes. It is difficult to find a good vegan restaurant that taste great, Zeste hits the spot for me.

Stopped by on a business trip and wish I had one of these where I live. Had the crab-brie grilled cheese sandwich with the (slightly spicy) butternut squash cinnamon soup and it was heaven. It feels great to eat food that's good for you and delicious! Even though this restaurant is 25 min. from my hotel, I'm going to try to return before I head home. Highly recommended.
So I came on a day where they were revamping the coffee bar area. But even so, they were still very friendly and accommodating. Phenomenal Service Great Bulletproof Coffee! I can't wait to go back to try their food.

I had been hesitant to check this place out- the location seems a little odd and then the name changed. However, I'm SO glad I did! It's light and airy inside, welcoming and very clean. There are two separate counters - one for Zeste (both healthy and guilty options- which I appreciate!, juices and smoothies) and one for a coffee shop. I visited both to order and loved everything I tried! The nitro cold brew was velvety and delicious, and gave me the caffeine kick I needed. I ordered the green veggie pizza and purple passion juice- all so healthy AND really delicious! I just referred to their menu to find the names of my items and just realized it was vegan cheese on that flatbread- I couldn't even tell! I love the fresh healthy options, but also love that they offer burgers and mozzarella sticks! Staff were all friendly. I will definitely be back!

The açaí bowl is my new addiction! Their food is fresh and so delicious. I've so far only eaten breakfast here, but looking forward to trying lunch. The eggs are wonderful, biscuits and sausage were so good, and I'll probably be embarrassed by how many of the chocolate cookies I'll eat! Berserker Brew coffee shares the space and I've started my day with the Nitro three days in a row and as a cold brew, it's awesome! Can't wait to try their bulletproof coffee and coffee ice cream!

I had been waiting for this place to open back up now that the previous management was no longer. The restaurant had its grand opening on July 1 and is officially open! When I walked in I was greeted and the manager Kevin was kind enough to go over the new menu and what is now available. I even had a gift card from Inwave that I had but he said I could no longer use it but he offered something in exchange instead. That was good customer service! I ordered the zesty burger with a beyond burger and sweet potato fries. Everything was hot, fresh and tasted great! Everything in there is vegetarian with vegan options. One new addition was the coffee bar in the back which made it easier for coffee goers to go and order what they needed. It also has a fountain drinks made with cane sugar. Also, Inwaves juices and smoothies were a joy overpriced but now there are priced around the same as other competitors on the market. I definitely will be coming back!

Delicious smoothies!!! I've had other food items and they were good. Gluten Free fried pickles!!! Yum. Service is great. The manager, Kevin was helpful and explained what was in a lot of the GF items.
