Maximum Zen

Amazing vegan food! I love the desserts and I'm not even a sweets person. Her teas are amazing. She really adds a spice of love to her food. The salad is my favorite and the spicy mushroom tacos.

I was first introduced to Donna's food last summer during a rooftop yoga event. She had some treats there. They were incredible. I was finally able to make it into her restaurant today. Got there around noon, not crowded. We ordered our food, sat down drinks and food was brought to our table. The environment is very spacious and calming. I enjoyed my time there. I do wish they had more comfortable seating. Overall it was a lovely time.

Thank you so much for making the birthday cake! You did such a great job! Highly recommend!

Pictures- vegan red velvet cake with raspberries!!

Friendly owner/chef, fresh ingredients, and bright flavors. I especially enjoyed the goat cheese and strawberry combination on the flatbread.

I’m so glad i found this place randomly while i was looking for vegan cake options! Not only the food is amazing but the vegan cake i tried was delicious as well!!! Definitely recommend this place.

Although we got our food to go, we were pleasantly suprised at how large and inviting the dining area is; the menu is small to allow for changing weekly menu and fresh produce. We got the Flatbread with vegan macadamia cheese, roasted veggie wrap and couldn't resist the lafayette for dessert. The only disappointment is that I can't get there more often, but I will definitely be trying to get to this hidden delicious gem whenever I can.

Asked for a lemon and raspberry cake made gluten free and vegan. It was delicious, probably the best gluten free cake I've had.

Very comfortable and inviting.loved the options and the gluten-free free desserts make you want to get fat...

I ordered a Vegan cake for my birthday it was absolutely delicious.

We love everything about Maximum Zen. If you didn't know everything was vegan, you might never notice!

December 2023 update: still as great as ever!

Maximum Zen cafe, located on Davis St, in the same building as Jaya Yoga, is an absolute oasis in Clarks Summit. This place is something special. The food - savory or sweet - is just outstanding. Everything is absolutely delicious, and, not only that, the textures are perfection which is not easy to do especially with her gluten free options. Her crusts are flaky, her cakes moist, her cookies crispy outside and soft inside, her sauces exquisite. I have eaten in many days in a row, taken out food for later to have with my family, and tried a huge array of things, and there was not anything that was not delicious. Don't miss this fabulous, warm, welcoming kitchen with from scratch foods literally just coming out of the oven in front of you, or cooling on the counter. The portions are just right, the prices are fair, the menu is delightful and unique and full of locally grown, quality ingredients. If Maximum Zen cafe was in NYC, the line would be around the block and Donna would be featured on magazine covers. Can't believe how lucky we are to have this gem in town! Get to Davis St ASAP and tell all your friends.

It was my first time there to pick up some vegan cookies for Christmas. They are amazingly delicious!! I cannot wait to go for lunch one of these days!! Thank you for being so kind even through the chaotic rush of Christmas orders!!

Great food and atmosphere! It's a lovely open space and as someone who is looking to reduce how much meat they eat the options were great. There are choices that are Vegetarian and vegan as wells as sweet or savory.

Great food, energy, and atmosphere, I ordered a mushroom taco and it tastes AMAZING.

Delightful vegetarian/vegan cafe inside Jaya Yoga Studio. We tried both savory and sweet dishes, all of which were creative, fresh, and, most importantly, delicious (broccoli quiche was heavenly). Can't wait for outdoor seating!

This restaurant is a gem. My husband and I tend to over do it when we find a new place and order around 4-5 things to share between us. There wasn't a single thing that we ordered that we didn't love. Hands down our new favorite lunch spot.

Love the food, love the baked goods, love the space. Very excited to find veg/vegan food in the area!!

By far my favorite place for lunch and desserts. Amazing food thoughtfully and lovingly prepared from locally sourced seasonal ingredients.

Wow! What a gem! Amazingly good, healthy, flavorful food. Chill environment, next to a yoga studio. Friendly owner. My new favorite place!

First time i was so impressed,food was amazing, had vegetables wrap and flat bread,so good and the cake 🎂 was to die for Ill be back
