I even had a bit of my friends pesto pasta and the texture tasted like regular pasta. HOWEVER, I'm giving Zest 4 starts because I have a pretty severe allergy to walnuts. It was my fault for not reading all the ingredients but I did have to go to urgent care and get an epi shot after some extreme nausea and hives all over me. My only wish is that Zest put an emphasis on foods that contain nuts and which nuts. I understand a lot of vegan foods use cashews almonds and pine nuts as substitutes but I felt like walnuts were a bit random to have in nachos that I didn't consider that dish to be nut free before ordering. Good to know next time but the food was bomb!

A Place That Fails on Every Level, Safety, Integrity, and Basic Care…read more I've eaten here multiple times and every visit left me, my friends and family feeling physically ill. Why? Because they use cheap low quality canola oil and it shows both on the palate and in the body. But the deeper issue isn't just what's in the food. It's what's rotting beneath the surface. A close friend of mine Brittney (17 and under age in this experience) reached out to the owner to explore a collaborative business opportunity. Instead of professionalism she was met with a shocking invitation to hot tub together. Completely inappropriate and wildly unprofessional. Even more disturbing are the longstanding sexual allegations against kitchen staff he's kept on for years. Employees are routinely fired often for things they didn't do while the owner claims surveillance cameras prove it. Yet those cameras never seem to catch actual wrongdoing. Convenient isn't it. Meanwhile he creates a culture of fear instability and dismissal. People are disposable. Boundaries are not respected whether in the kitchen or in conversation. This isn't just a bad dining experience. This is a pattern of neglect abuse of power and willful ignorance. I urge you support businesses that respect people, employees, customers and community. This is not one of them.

Blatch's is situated in a cozy Utahn home where you can eat the best vegan BBQ right in their cozy backyard (summer exclusive). Or you can take To-Go, whatever you prefer. The service is out of this world. They make friendly conversation with you while they build your meal. Blatch's is so welcoming. Everything looked real good and it was hard to decide what to order. We decided on the VBQ for 2 and the taco-dactyl 'cause I needed to try the tacos. Everything was absolutely amazing. The BBQ is not only cooked with a lot of heart put into it, but everything is a specialty in-house made.

Blatch's is the #1 bbq in SLC for a reason! Such great food, and the owners are lovely people.read more

Travelling to SLC and this was our first stop and we were so glad we picked this place to get our…read morefirst meal! Was greeted by a very friendly person at the reception on entrance. We ordered chickn ranch and chickn mango habanero sandwiches with a side of fries with ranch. Order was ready within 15mins. Both sandwiches tasted great but I liked the mango one a bit more. Our buns were cold, I wish they were toasted it would take it up a notch. The fries were thin and crispy! The vibe is cute, about 6-7 tables inside to sit. Highly recommend! We will be back!

And the person at the counter was so knowledgeable about the items and quick to answer our questions. No risk of accidental dairy, since nothing they make has any! I first tried their carrot cake (no pics, so good I forgot) and was blown away- no one would know it was DF/GF, it seemed like sorcery that it could be that excellent! It was all the spices/raisins/carrots in a medium-dense cake and a frosting I couldn't believe was DF. The lemon and PB bars are also ridiculously good. The "cheezecake" is a little odd (but still good) compared to everything else we tried, probably because it lacks eggs and I'm not sure what the replacement is. It seems to be a to-go and catering/event place. Will definitely return to try more stuff!

Their chickpea bao buns with chipotle aioli blew me away. It was the perfect level of spicy and very filling without making me feel heavy. It seemed actually nutritious, so no need for the guilt after (that I saved for the cinnamon roll dessert I picked up at the same time). The price was also very affordable. I love how much variety is available here and that it's all vegan. I always feel spoiled for choice, I never know what to get because it all looks so good. There's a decent amount of seating inside. The ladies at the shop are always very friendly. This is an amazing spot for a sweet treat or a quick meal. One of my top vegan spots in Salt Lake.

I absolutely love Sweet Hazel -- it's probably my favorite vegan restaurant in Salt Lake City and…read morehonestly, one of my favorite restaurants ever. Their burritos and fries are my go-to favorites. The burritos are just top-notch, but I have a soft spot for their fries -- it's kind of an inside joke for me. Whenever I go out to eat with people, they always say, "Well, I know what El is having," because I always get fries with my food. But theirs are surprisingly amazing. Fries are usually just "fine" or "good," but theirs? They're very good. The owner is incredibly kind, and their baked goods are fantastic -- especially the peanut butter brownie, which I can't recommend enough. Their soft serve is also really good, and I'm excited to try some of their candy next time. I even took a non-vegan friend there, and he really enjoyed the food. Beyond the food, the team is so nice, and they have a little vegan market with some really cool products. I bought about half a pound of vegan bacon from them, and now I'm making all kinds of breakfast sandwiches at home. If you're in the area, whether you're vegan or not, Sweet Hazel is a must-visit. And if you can't stop by in person, their partner company Break Free Candy ships their sweets, which is awesome. Seriously, if you order anything from the menu, make it the peanut butter brownie. It's life-changing -- and I say that as a huge brownie lover.

Normally, I eat half of a sandwich and save the other half for later but in this case it was so good that I ate it all in one sitting.

The bread was fresh and filling. Highly recommend if you're looking for a yummy sammy. Ordering was easy and I waited in their outdoor dining area while it was being made.
