Waited 20 min for them to take my order -- not particularly busy. Seemed to really want me to go to the coffee side. The music in the background is very techno-ey and modern and doesn't really seem to match the ambiance of the restaurant. It's gets a bit monotonous and annoying after awhile. It was turned up a bit louder than I would have preferred. The roses at the tables are real and have a slight scent to them. The waitress brought me water, but didn't ask me about water and it had ice in it and I don't like ice. The service..... wasn't that great. One person sat me at the table, one person took my order, another person brought my food, and it was hard to tell if only one or two people were taking orders for the whole dining room. They also have a person for cleaning the tables but the person who came to clean the table did so with a dry microfiber cloth, which is against health code regulations. I was wondering how dry it was but when he stick the cloth into his apron after he wiped down the table..... I knew. As far as the time it took me to get my food, I was sat at 10:30 am, rec The wrap was delicious. The portion size is a good amount and the egg whites were refreshing, fluffy, and properly seasoned. The wrap had alvocado spread on the very outer part of it and also aioli sauce in the middle, which added great flavor, and then it also has green cherry tomatoes and refused red tomatoes in it. The cheese inside wasn't overpowering and was a good marriage for the wrap and was stretchy and a good textural experience. The wrap was grilled and the only negative mark I have about the wrap is that it wasn't wrapped well and the sauce was dripping out of the wrap out onto my plate and getting the other side of my wrap soggy before I even got a change to eat it. It also got on my hands and I had to be careful with it and eat it directly over the plate. I really wanted to enjoy my experience and maybe I will come again.... But it just wasn't what I was hoping for in the end.

What a darling, little Cafè! Stopped in for a quick lunch and decided k. The Avocado and Alfalfa Wrap. It came with a side and the Pesto Pasta was recommended. Although the pasta was not my favorite, the wrap was delicious!

Cute little place in the highland park area for breakfast or lunch. Got the egg and cheese sandwich with bacon added. Its not specifically listed as a sandwich on the menu, but the last item is a brioche bun. While its simple, it was a damn good breakfast sandwich. The egg is a pocket of condensed steam, so you may want to give it a few minutes before scarfing it down. I tried some of my girlfriends challah French Toast. It was pretty good! The maple syrup they give you is the watery crap and not the real stuff. They do make their own whipped cream and that was pretty good. I like they added berries around the plate.

Great spot for breakfast. The inside is bright, clean and very welcoming. I ordered the avocado toast with poached eggs. Super delish. The salad that came with it with it was arugula, tomatoes and shaved park cheese (I believe). It went very well with the toast. The manager was my server and she was very welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend this place in Snider Plaza.

We celebrated a friend's birthday and turns out this is the place for birthday celebrations as there was another party going on across from us. Zest Cafe is a super cute corner cafe, that is open, bright and lively. The staff was very nice and were well equipped to manage a full restaurant. They were very accommodating as our large party consisted of gifts, a cake and booster seats. We snacked on a sampler platter of almond croissants, kouign-amann, and apple cinnamon muffins. The croissant was a little dry, but the muffin and the kouign-amann were moist and delicious. We also shared plates of the edamame hummus and deviled eggs that were both really good. I thoroughly enjoyed the lavender st. Germain spritz and the togarashi tuna and ancient grain salad.

Awwwwwww I found my happy plate! This adorable little café just opened in the SMU area . We popped in for a quick breakfast. The service was so amazing and so quick , we had the avocado toast on harvest bread with a perfectly poached, egg and seasoning. Delish! Normally, when you get a cup of fresh fruit as the side, you look at it and say no thanks however, the fruit was so fresh and firm and delicious. This restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have a Bar. it's very dog, friendly kid, friendly people, friendly ... and they are very smile friendly... And I forgot to mention , the delicious chai latte with almond milk. So good.
