Zest - Agonda

I love zest caffe, it was my second home during a 1 month yoga teacher training in the opposite good place to learn, good eating and drinks

This is by far the best vegan and vegetarian restaurant in the area. Everything is really fresh and tasty. Really lovely staff and clean surroundings. Our absolute favourite!

Have been here twice two days in a row. First time for dinner we wanted salad with lots of greens. They were out of avocado and gave us the option to choose any substitute we like tofu, beans, mushrooms . Then the salad came and apparently they were also out of green leafs since we both only had 4 ! leafs of green, rest were different raw veggies, which don’t get me wrong it’s nice, but from a salad you expect more than 4 green leafs. Second time we came for breakfast. One of us took the vegan breakfast and asked if now they had avocado, the server said yes now they have it again. It turned out they didn’t they just brought the plate with humus instead, when we told them they didn’t seem happy to change anything although we told them we specifically asked about the avo and would have chosen sth else instead. The Bircher muesli I had was good but didn’t come with the mentioned almond butter on top we found out later that they didn’t have it anymore as we ordered banana ice cream which was supposed to come with peanut and almond butter. I had asked to please replace the peanuts with almonds and the server said that’s okay. Nevertheless We got the icecream with peanuts! Luckily we are not allergic but it’s just not cool that they don’t seem to really listen to the guests. One of the peanuts also seemed moldy that’s not their fault but they could check while decorating the dessert . The good thing about this place is that it’s a nice place to chill, they have many options for vegans to choose from including vegan pizza and you can refill your water bottles for free so at least you save plastic, however I wouldn’t go here again after those two experiences. I prefer mandala cafe instead.

The restaurant is beautiful but the food was not good. ordered the thai bowl and it was a watery thai curry with no flavour whatsoever, very dissapointed. the raw mango cheesecake was nice but arrived frozen and it was impossible to stick a fork into it. had to wait about 20mins before it was possible to eat it. overall very dissapointed and not worth the prices. try avocado garden further along the road, by far best vegan food in agonda.

The food and setting is perfect. Try the chocolate cake
