Zest has been a staple here for at least the last decade. Attended UWSP 2015-2022, left town for Tennessee in 2023. I’ve been back 3 times since leaving, and every time I go to Zest, the food and drinks are always the quality I remember. They leave some long-time staples on the menu (presto pesto sandwich, caprese flatbread, etc) while continuing to add new offerings! I tried the chicken tikka masala soup today - Delicious! The line was out the door for lunch today, which is a great sign! Be sure to leave a solid 15-20 min for food orders, but it’s worth the wait. Don’t skip the baked goods and monthly drink specials either! I sincerely hope they’re still in business years down the road.

I was in town and came here to work. Coffee was fine and service was good. Atmosphere was eclectic and fun but the music was super loud, which made it hard for conversation and focusing. Even the people next to me were talking louder to compensate.

Had an absolutely fantastic experience! Their sandwiches are delicious and shockingly inexpensive! I was expecting $10-15 with it being a small business right next to the college but you can get a great sandwhich plus chips for under $10. Staff was super friendly and told me one of their favorite menu items since I hadn't been there before and it was delicious. Great place to eat in whether you're a college student needing to study, or just somebody hoping to enjoy the chill vibe!

Looking for a bakery? This. Is. THE. Place! We did a large batch for a company function. Every part was easy, professional and delicious. I can't speak to the rest of the business, but the baked good are worth the extra pounds. May of our employees complimented the treats!

Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to step inside this gem. I’ve had their cookies before which are top notch. Today I experienced first hand the lovely, friendly staff, wide variety of tea and coffee drinks as well as fancy soda options. There is merch, coffee beans, presses and tea pots for purchase. Ordered the sweet potato pie latte and wow it did not disappoint. Sweet treats and chicken coconut curry soup to go. There is a full breakfast and lunch menu. Lots of seating inside and some outside as well. If you are driving through or live in Stevens Point this is a must stop for all your coffee shop needs!
