    Chicken and waffle

    Very friendly staff. Food was very tasty. Very small portions for a healthy choice. A little pricey for what you get. Got avocado egg and goat cheese on sourdough bread. Tiny portion. Also chicken and waffle. Food was good but expensive.

    Some specialty drinks ! Taken 3/7/2023

    Pictured it is some specialty drinks zest has at the moment. I tried the samoa latte and it is delish. I would recommend a try if you're looking for a sweet caffeine boost 8/10

    Tried the Java, and it was fantastic! A perfect blend of ingredients. Tasted great! The gentleman that was working, who I assume is a manger or owner of some sort, was enthusiastic and happy! Always lovely to see. Cute little joint to get a drink or snack with a friend that's healthy and homemade. Reasonable priced items too for them being completely fresh and homemade! Ambiance has a bright and clean feel.

    I went on a bit of a shopping spree here. It was like being a kid in a vegan candy store. The variety is incredible. Often places with vegan options have a single piece of banana bread that tastes like cardboard; not zest. The have everything from cookies to cakes to smoothies to bowls. Everything we tasted, especially the peanut butter pretzel cookie, was delicious. It's an hour drive from me, but I'll be back soon.

    What's goodie Society TheMadScientist here wit another REVIEW So out and about on the company's time TheMadScientist had a hunker'n for some grub found the closest place were his was to get something and ZEST was the place He had high hopes once enter'n this business It was nice, clean and cozy The menu was clear and had a wide selection from meat to vegan products so TheMadScientist was hyped to order The employees were very knowledgeable about the MENU and knew how to switch things around to make you feel comfortable ~~~~~~LET'S GET TO THE GRUB THO~~~~~~ As you can see TheMadScientist order'd the Buffalo Blue Burger and when HE SAYS YUCK HE MINES DO NOT GET THIS or be prepared to be INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINT'd The burger was made NICE and NEAT and that was about the HIGH POINT of it A flavorless patty wit semi fresh LETTUCE, BLUE Buffalo sauce (that really had no actual TASTE or HEAT to it) and some DISGUST'n VEGAN BACON (Look into a better brand or better recipe cause the one you are use'n AIN'T IT) Yeah this SANDWICH was forced down tbh cause when you are hunger you are hunger (MAYBE YOU WILL HAVE DIFFERENT FEEL'ns THEN HIM) What he thought would/could wash it down was an OVERPRICED PeanutButter PowerHouse Smoothie (IT DOES NOT COME AS A SMOOTHIE, IT TRULY IS A SMOOTHIE BOWL) other smoothie places have PERFECT'd this blend so ZEST STEP YOUR GAME UP TheMadScientist would LOVE to see this PLACE STRIVE for the GREATNESS IT ACTUALLY CAN BE Yet if it's only OPEN for the GREEN BACKS (Money) it won't be open for too long IF HEALTH IS WEALTH MAKE THAT A MONIKER instead of try'n to get WEALTHY OFF HEALTH You know the Science Stay LYT Society Bah BAH BIG L.Y.T Live Your Time

    ***2 1/2 stars*** This is a weird one for me, because I don't think this is necessarily a "bad" place - Zest is clearly very popular and was decently crowded when I was there. I don't think it's impossible to come in here and really enjoy the food/drink offerings. Ultimately though, it just wasn't my cup of tea palate-wise and if you're like me, it's going to be tough to find something that hits the spot. I stopped in right after the gym yesterday in the late morning. I'm a huge acai bowl fan and have been trying to find a more convenient source than the Playa Bowls all the way up 23 in Pompton Plains. Up until this experience, all of my acai bowl purchases have come from chains like Playa or Sweetberry (which unfortunately closed their location in nearby Little Falls during Covid). I ordered the Peanut Butter Powerhouse bowl, which featured unsweetened acai, banana, housemade granola, vegan chocolate chips and organic peanut butter. It's very similar in content to the OG at Playa Bowls, except with the addition of the chocolate chips. It just didn't taste that good. I thought the chocolate chips were a nice complement to the peanut butter, and the decision to go heavy on the peanut butter as its own layer versus a minimal drizzle was solid - it's the one area where I think they surpassed Playa. It also helped that the taste of the organic peanut butter and the vegan chips wasn't all that different from "normal" peanut butter and chocolate chips. However, everything else bordered on tasteless and was disappointing. I'm sure there are plenty of people who may disagree with me on this, but an acai bowl is already pretty healthy in the grand scheme of things. They tend to be higher in calories especially with the granola, but I always feel very peppy and glad I didn't opt for something naughtier like pizza. I just don't think it's necessary to get even healthier with something like this, opting to use unsweetened acai and granola instead of tastier alternatives. The same goes for the pastries. I also ordered a blueberry scone that honestly just tasted like cardboard - somehow even the blueberries barely registered on my tongue. It just feels like overkill. And honestly? I'm certainly not opposed to a healthy lifestyle; as mentioned above, this was a post-gym stop. I get it. But if opting for bread with gluten and sweeter granola cuts a few months off my life expectancy at the end of the day, I'd take that deal over eating the taste equivalent of cork during my extra time on Earth. That said, the girls behind the counter were very pleasant and accommodating. I got the impression that some of their equipment wasn't as efficient as the chains - one of their blenders, for instance, just looked like one you'd have in your kitchen versus an industrial one. As a result, they had to physically bang the mixer/ingredients together to complete the process, but that's a pretty easy fix. Regardless, they had great attitudes while also being a little swamped. They handled it well, so that's a pretty solid selling point in my view. I don't know that I'd come back without doing some careful research on specific products I'd likely enjoy (preferably ones that don't have something unsweetened as their number one ingredient), and I'd stay far away from the pastries/baked goods.

    This place is such a dream for dairy free & gluten free go0ody go0ods! A large menu of juices, smoothies, coffee, lattes, fruit bowls, salads, toasts & sandwiches. This place is whole food plant based & is a great healthy concept that I wish was more local to me! This is its only spot and it is a BUSY BEE! They're delivery eats friendly (not sure which apps tho) and can get packed dine in during munchie times. If full inside, it does have some bench tables in the front. My first visit, I got the Fresh Start Smoothie which had coco milk, nanas, spinach, cucus, celery, mint & lemon-- super refreshing! Then I tried their quiche that had an almond crust I believe but it sadly lacked flavor and had translucent gooey strings after every bite I took. I assumed it was no longer good so I stopped eating it. Luckily no belly aches after it. But the redemption was in the baci truffle! A highlight here! My second time back, I got the matcha latte with oat milk, a homemade pizza with hummus & fresh tomatoes and a baci of course. The pizza was plain, couldn't taste the hummus but appreciated the fresh tomatoes on top. The "dough" was firm, thick & soft... I think it's sweet potato "crust", nothing spectacular tho. It's a hard transition for me from being a thin-crust lover but trying here! Anyways, I lalalalaave the vegan baci, I could eat them everyday. Bcuz baci has always been my true love. Taking some home is a very Genius idea. Please stop by & support them!

    ZEST is a RARE GEM! They offer delicious GLUTEN FREE DAIRY FREE everything; amazing bowls, scones, cookies, muffins, cookie dough. The texture and taste is not compromised!! So amazing all the desserts still taste and feel as good, if no5 more naughty than all the gluten full dairy full options.

    Highly recommend super healthy & delicious. Detox juice was amazing, refresh juice amazingly delicious, the menu great choices like Kale Caesar's with grilled chicken. The clean quinoa also delicious and healthy! 5 stars love it.

    This is legitimate food. It is smoothies and smoothie bowls that are made right there, not overly sugary processed stuff. I like adding their homemade hazelnut chocolate spread. Very filling, but doesn't weigh you down. Good prices for what they are selling.

    Great selection of yummy organic gluten free treats
    Maria S.

    If you want to try some yummy gluten-free vegan organic treats and yummy delicious smoothies and acai bowls and fresh juices look no further. Great little shop along the highway with some fabulous fresh treats and friendly staff! The juices are great my favorite is the Frapp! A definite must-try is the chocolate chip pretzel cookies those are the bomb!

    See all
