Contribute Feedback What localUk doesn't like about Cafe Zest:
The staff at this restaurant were rude, the food was stale, and the cutlery was dirty. It's about time this place shut down, and I believe the new John Lewis department store opening soon will likely take care of that. I would recommend avoiding this restaurant. View all feedback.
I enjoyed my lunch here, I eat two days in a row at lunch. Both times staff were very helpful, more on Saturday than Sunday but I can't fault them they were doing the best to help. Just a small mention, disabled is on 2nd floor, I would reckon you'd have to use the disabled lift (not well signed but I'm being told is being looked at) if you were a wheelchair user and that could make it hard to go from one to the other. If you could manage the centre of store lift which isn't that disabled friendly as it's an original 70s Otis you should be ok.
'Café Zest ' is a Department Store café on the first floor of House of Fraser in Cheltenham. I visited at 15:00 on a Friday afternoon; it was time for tea and a cake. At first sight this is quite a large café with a lot of seating and a buffet style servery. The servery area is so large that you would expect it to be full of food offerings to delight the afternoon palate. You would be disappointed.
The restaurant offers delicious coffee in a peaceful and roomy setting, making it one of the most relaxing dining spots in the area - perfect for unwinding.
I enjoyed taking a break from Christmas shopping at this cafe. The staff was very friendly and the tea was served with a pot of hot water, a traditional touch that is often overlooked nowadays. I appreciated the attention to detail.
I frequently dine at Café Zest for lunch. It offers a reasonably priced menu with a great variety of delicious options. While it may not be considered fine dining, if you're looking for a tasty and affordable meal, this is the place for you.
