Zest Cafe Home Art

Extremely poor service after frequently coming to zest for over 20 plus years it is very disappointing to see a neighborhood establishment take a terrible turn for the worse. Food as well as staff has significantly decreased since the pandemic started and now they’re trying to make up for it with poor food and management.

Having lived in the neighborhood 20 years ago with good memories of Zest Cafe Home Art, I was excited about stopping at Zest for lunch. After reviewing the menu we ordered and split the heirloom tomato sandwich and 'crispy ' salad with chicken. The heirloom tomato sandwich was disappointing, with very little flavor, a mealy tomato. The bread and cheese were good... Turning to the salad, the diced chicken had a definite refrigerator taste. The lettuces, apple slices, and dressing were good. So, we picked at the bread, cheese, and lettuces and apple slices and ended the meal. Perhaps better luck next time. I 've enjoyed excellent food at Zest in years past.

I loved the unusual healthy choices on the menu. I had the turkey burger and it was delicious. The staff was attentive and kind.

The Torta!!! Wow ? I love it! Great taste, and would drive from Cary again to eat it. I highly recommend it.

This is a must do when we have friends and family visiting and want a yummy and relaxing lunch. Also, we always find a treasure or two in the shop!
