Zest Fresh Pastry, LLC

I have been to this location almost weekly for a few months now. It’s a quick and convenient stop for something small to eat and a cup of coffee or tea while we are at the Velvet Mill for the weekly market. Twice prior to this visit, I was missed (and after today, it almost feels as if I was intentionally skipped over,) in line; I’m short and usually the place is pretty busy, so it’s easy to miss me, no big deal. Today, it wasn’t really busy when I arrived. I ordered, and waited to pay. The person who took my order was making our (2) drinks. Another woman behind the counter saw me waiting (eye contact was made,) and started moving the people in line behind me right up next to me to take their order. She rings them up, while I am standing at the register and card reader because I'm waiting to be given a total so I can pay. She looks at me with a “move out of the way” look, and I say "hi, I am waiting to pay." She says “okay,” then picks up the card reader to give it to the people in line behind me. It's not even because I'm waiting on food and drinks to be made that's gonna take a bit, and they had easy to grab to go items, because they also ordered food and drinks that had to be made. The food is decent and always quick to come out, but be careful with hot drinks— I have to remember to ask for ice because each time we’ve been here, many times we’re unable to drink our lattes before we are done making a full loop around the farmer’s market.

I’ll never get a cake anywhere else! They made the best cake for a friends bridal shower and everyone loved it! Gave them the creative freedom to do what they thought would look best and they killed it. Everything tasted amazing and team was so friendly too. Highly recommend!

Gabriella was great to work with for our wedding in August 2023! We visited the bakery to pick up a sampling of cakes/fillings/frostings and everything was delicious. We chose our options and emailed her and she confirmed right away. We ordered a small two-tier cake for us and a small one-tier cake for my parents, whose 50th anniversary was a week after our wedding. Both cakes were delivered on time and looked beautiful, and were exactly what we were hoping for! I'd recommend this bakery to anyone planning a wedding in the area!

Great coffee & pastries!

Truly a dissapointment. This was my experience with Zest. As a long time patron I figured I would order my wifes birthday cake from them. I fully expected bakery prices and have no complaints from that point, but what we recieved was so far from bakery quality, that I wished I had jusy gone to the local super market. The cake we recieved was dense and flavorless making it borderline inedible and after a month of promoting this bakery to friends amd family only to be extremly embarresed by the results of this cake. Would NOT reccomend if you are buying for someone you care about. WOULD reccomend if you need a cake for the in-laws or somebody you arent very fond of.

Zest made an incredible 3-tiered cake, so elegantly decorated for our Wheeler High School 50th Class Reunion in June 2023. It was absolutely delicious.

Both cakes looked great and tasted delicious. I will use this place again in the future!

Just wonderful. Everything was delicious!

It's just so good. I start looking forward to my Sunday treat on Monday
