We Are Zest Café

Though this rustic, charming cafe was busy, I greatly enjoyed coming here for the tea and soup. I came here for my birthday, and though the staff were harried with all the customers, they provided kindly service. The soup of the day, butternut squash, proved a creamy autumnal delight, and I equally enjoy my steaming, sweet Earl Grey tea. Payment is easy here, and you can take as much time as you need with your food without feeling rushed. I recommend sitting outside and sipping your warm beverage and watching the excited crowds of people pass along the old stone streets.

We were up in St Andrews for a day out and just looking for somewhere to have a coffee, everywhere was full. We stumbled across We Are Zest, glad we did as I would rather pay my money to a good cause rather than some big conglomerate that really doesn't care. We had lovely cappuccinos, a fresh scone, butter and jam and a rather gorgeous toffee crispy cake. I couldn't believe how quiet it was inside. It was lovely and cool, with comfy seats and a great atmosphere. If I lived nearby I would be in every day for a coffees. Would highly recommend a visit if you are ever in St Andrews.

Fab people, delicious food and lovely space. Will definitely revisit.
The lady sat with her dog who visits twice a week for a bacon roll was a joy as well.
Vegetarian breakfast, hot chocolate and bacon roll all recommended.

What a lovely wee café. We're unbearably picky about our coffee, and it was an exemplary pair of flat whites we had, along with a nice slice of a date bake, and an exquisite piece of a pistachio-topped carrot cake.

Had the full Scottish breakfast and it was dilicious.Staff were very friendly and the coffee was tasty. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

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.

GEM of a find! 8 of us and everyone loved their lunch! So inexpensive and amaze value! Soup was terrific! Salads and desserts!!!

Lovely vegan breakfast and great coffee. Sat out in the sun and watched the world go by. A social enterprise worth supporting too.

Really nice staff who were exceptionally busy. Lovely pots of tea made with tea leaves! Delicious cakes & pastries. Flashing light panel system for ladies/disabled toilet access, which could prove difficult for those with poor eye sight, but I made the staff aware so perhaps this will be rectified in future as my companion couldn't have used it. Highly recommend this cafe for both sit in and takeaway.

Great staff. Was met with a lovely smile. Delicious food and a great hot chocolate

Delicious, fresh food. Great service. Amaaaaazing ginger chai latte!

This is a lovely cafe, with a nice seating area outside where dogs are allowed. Haven't tried the food, but my partner said it was the best cappuccino he had whilst in St Andrews!

A social hub employing people with some disabilities. Gave them the trade for that reason and were rewarded with lovely coffee and cake and very polite service.

Popped in for lunch - good selection of food (rolls, baguettes, panini etc) and coffee. I had the ploughman's baguette with Parsnip and Honey soup and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was quick and friendly - obviously a popular place as it was busy when we went mid afternoon on a Tuesday! It's a social enterprise and employs people who may need a little more support in life so you're helping them to support others too

As I meet with a lovely bunch of ladies the lovely lady who name escapes me has reserved a table for us every second Monday and boy we so appreciate it as cafe is always so busy. The cakes are lovely the salads are more than a plate full the staff are a lovely bunch of boys and girls. Please if you in area pop in even for a cuppa you will enjoy

It was busy but the staff didn't seem stressed at all - service was still calm and nice - the flat white was really tasty, I paid for the guest coffee which was an extra 30p, and it was well worth it. The bacon roll is amazing - perfectly cooked in my opinion, with just the right amount of crunch to soft ratio. Would definitely come again, may try the breakfast or soup next.

Fantastic coffee. Their flat white has ruined every other flat white for me now; they all pale in comparison. Friendly service and nice outdoor seating for good weather. They gave some good options for snacky food too. Their croissants are particularly tasty.

We were there on New Year's Day so it was limited menu but food was delicious and leek and cheese bread for toast amazing! Service was great and staff lovely and friendly.

Really good cafe and reasonably priced. Outside seating available. Well presented food. Friendly staff. I also like the fact that this is a training cafe.

Friendly place, with good service, and welcoming to dogs!! We visited Saturday 18th Aug, and were seated at a great table for 5. We had a Golden Retriever with us and she was warmly welcomed and given some water to drink. We all had a good lunch - ranging from the All Day Breakfast to Toasted Bagels, with plenty of tea. We would go back next time we are in St Andrews.
