Zest Kitchen

I have been GF for about five years now, but recently began eating a plant based diet as well. It’s not easy to find restaurants with good options of both. Zest Kitchen has exceeded my expectations with many delicious choices. They have so many interesting and tasty GF/ plant based choices. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I recently ordered the Nachos Grande and was thrilled with the quality, taste and generous portion. Zest Kitchen is my new “go to”!!

If you are new to being GF, this is a great place to go because 95% of the menu is GF with dedicated work spaces, extremely knowledgeable staff, and absolutely delicious! It’s a little pricey, a little out-of-the-way, and never super quick (even when you call in your order), but none of those things outweigh the trust I have for them to not get me sick and the deliciousness and healthiness of their offerings.

A vegan restaurant that is quite yummy! I am not a vegan, but have Celiac. I really enjoyed the egg scramble with spinach & mushrooms. The pancakes are delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by the best & potato hashbrowns. Nearly everything on the menu has a GF option.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very safe! Amazing menu! The owner is celiac so the few items they offer that aren’t GF are kept separate. Vegan, too!!
