Wife and I were visiting from interstate and came across Zest this morning and were happy they served and all day breakfast. After a short wait for a table (although we were updated on the progress by the waiter and didn't feel neglected) we were seated and ordered. Orange juice was fresh, food was delicious, well portioned and priced. I ordered a macchiato, and without questioning or explaining, this is exactly what I got! Most cafes 'top it up' so you get a half full flat white but zest provided me with exactly what I expected.
Will definitely visit again when we are in town!
I went to Cafe Zest on Monday with a friend and our little ones and had a fantastic experience. The food menu was varied and I really like the sound of all the vegetarian choices. I created my own delicious veggie breakie (which was served all day) complete with a chickpea pattie & an almond latte. The staff were so friendly and knew exactly what to do to accomodate prams and kids. Bringing out toys for my energetic toddler to play with was a lifesaver and kept my little one happy. Highly recommend. Well done
We went to Zest Cafe which has a 4.5 which is kind of laughable by Melbourne standards but Toto we are not in Kansas anymore. It’s a beachside style cafe so very casual with laidback read relatively slow service. I had a fresh juice which was yummy and the shakshuka special which surprised me when it hit the table given I’ve never sew shakshuka that wasn’t served baked eggs style in a ramekin. The dish was pleasant but definitely not 4.5 territory
Top interesting food and service. Best in the area for our visit for 3 days. Good coffee. Great friendly staff. Good conversations and advice on food and adelaide.
Have frequented Zest for many years and food has always been high quality, tasty, and well-prepared. All-day breakfast is a bonus and eggs are exceptional ... as is the coffee which is consistently as good as anywhere in Adelaide.
My mum and I were searching around the streets for so long looking at menus. ehhhh same old same old then we saw the menu at Zest and couldn’t decide because there was so many delicious options! And such decent prices. We had the meat lovers hash. It was so delicious. Coffee was great too. Love finding cafes with something different on the menu and lots to choose from. Staff were super friendly as well x
Excellent coffee and great service. I just had a double espresso with water on side, and the coffee had plenty of crema, lovely creamy flavour and arrived promptly.
Great food and good service this morning.
Meat lovers hash was yummy.
Coffee was nice but not great
Pity about other people’s children spoiling the nice atmosphere.
Not sure why people have to take their kids to breakfast anyway????
3.5. A nice little cafe with friendly and attentive staff. I ordered the eggs salmone with a serve of mushrooms and this was very good. Eggs were poached to perfection and there was a generous amount of hollandaise. Also tried some of the meat lovers hash which was great, and the special brekkie nachos were reportedly very good. Soy chai latte was a little sweet. Food took a while to come out, but it was a very busy day and they were packed to the brim. Recommend.
Popular and bustling little joint, some beautiful photography on the walls available for purchase! A solid selection of house made cakes, great customer service, decent coffee and food.

Most pleasant experience with great coffee. Arrived in time for breakfast and found a good selection on offer. Quite small, so may be difficult to find a seat in busy time. Found it worth the wait, though.
Cute little location hidden in plain sight, the energy of Zest is clear as soon as you turn onto Sussex Street.
When we visited, the café was entirely filled, but we were greeted by a charismatic and bright member of staff and seated soon after.
The ambience was nice, busy and cosy with a refreshing ocean breeze. We sat outside and table service was prompt and friendly. We ordered a long black, mocha, and the specials - zesty eggs and meatlovers' hash for a late breakfast.
The food was delicious and the coffee was fantastic. Hope to be back again soon.
Coming from Melbourne where we are surrounded by top quality cafes it can be difficult to find an interstate cafe that meets our high expectations. Zest is the closest thing you'll find in Glenelg. Whilst the menu isn't quite as fancy as what you'll find in Melbourne, the quality of their food and coffee is very good. The staff are incredibly friendly and understand what hospitality is all about. For an enjoyable breakfast and good quality coffee in Glenelg you can't go past this place.
Came here with family and was able to bring our three dogs along for breakfast too! Amazing friendly staff and service. Food and drinks were 10/10. I got the "Hell's eggs" (pictured below) and it was delicious! Nice amount of spicy and the ramekin kept it hot. I find a lot of cafés either have so little that you're left hungry, or so much that there's a lot of waste leftover after you're full. However all dishes were perfectly portioned and all delicious! Would love to come back and taste every dish available!
Casual cafe with all day breakfast and friendly staff. Had the Vegan Hottie and asked their recommendation for a fresh juice. Good options to build your own breakfast with eggs, bacon etc etc. Sat outside under the shaded area.
Great strong coffee. Great service. Reasonable prices. What more can you ask for?!
Highly recommend this café.
We ordered hell’s egg + salmon beagle and both were very good
Flat white was also one of the best I’ve tried
A bit cold and windy outside but there are blankets for you to use
Excellent customer service too!
The food there was absolutely delicious. I got the big breakfast and the french toast. The food always amazing and you get a lot too. The food was a bit pricy but it was worth it. The hot drinks were also only warm not hot, but they still tasted really good. The quality of the products was also worth the money. The presentation also made the food look even better! I highly recommend going there.
