Welcome To Zest
Hi and thanks for checking us out online.
If you didn’t know, we are an independently owned local cafe based in the heart of St Andrews in Scotland and run as a Social Enterprise. Every purchase with us directly helps us to help people with disabilities/barriers into employment! We are passionate about people & the environment – ask us about our market garden where we grow our own produce!
We’d love to see you in person for a Specialty Coffee and something great to eat.
The Zest Philosophy
At Zest we help support people facing barriers to employment by providing a friendly, inclusive workplace to learn and develop. We work as a team to provide good quality work training placements for people who need a helping hand into employment. We take pride in our endeavors and celebrate our successes as a group. We believe this collective attitude is what makes us different and is reflected in our name:
Together We Are Zest.
We Help Those With Barriers to Employment
Great Quality Coffee
In addition to our employment philosophy we believe in a great quality product served by an enthusiastic and motivated team. We love what we sell and our team are all well trained in everything we do, which is reflected in our specialty grade coffee, tea and food. We only use quality loose leaf tea for a truly different experience – no teabags for us! Our peppermint tea is even homegrown!
We Only Use Speciality Grade Coffee… Ground Fresh from Beans to Order!
Zest is my favourite local cafe! Great staff, wonderful coffee. I love the patio seating and the back of the cafe spots. It’s perfectly situated across from St. Mary’s.
Love this place for really good coffee! The staff are helpful and friendly, the coffee is top quality and there is usually an interesting guest coffee on that is always worth a try!
