Zest - Fife

Please visit this lovely cafe. The food was amazing, and the coffee, especially the guest roast, was excellent. What makes this place so special is its focus on providing job opportunities to people who might struggle to find work elsewhere. There was a bit of a misunderstanding over our order, and I initially thought they couldn’t cater to my wife’s dietary needs—no onion, garlic, or lactose. The manager of the day (I assume) went out of her way to clarify and speak with my wife about her requirements. They made a beautiful, bespoke sandwich that met all her needs, topped off with a vegan flapjack. It was such a beautiful gesture, and I was humbled by their care and attention to detail. It’s a shame we don’t live nearby, as we would be regulars.

We called in for breakfast. We had coffee and tea. The lemon and ginger tea came in a small pot and was lovely. Scrambled egg on toast is lovely and the bread was very nice with an onion flavour. We also had breakfast rolls. The staff are great. The cafe is ideal for people who have difficulty walking. Wheelchair friendly.

Good selection of food (including veggie and vegan options) plus coffee and unusual teas (e.g. London Fog). I had the soup which was tasty, husband enjoyed his baguette which they put on a plate with dressed salad and vegan coleslaw. Cakes rounded off the visit nicely.

Found by accident when looking for a light lunch. Soup was unreal... Very yummy. Great to see the soup options were both vegan and gluten free. Bread was beautiful too.

Tea was in a teapot fine but only given a small cup. The tea itself was lukewarm. We had to wait ages for the meal and it was really greasy The bacon was like cardboard the scrambled egg had cheese through it which is a no no. I don't like cheese. I always pass on what I won't eat to my husband. For £10.99 it is not worth it. My little Brownies could cook better than the staff. When I was there today they even had dogs in the place. 4 that I counted. This is not hygienic.
