read moreCafé Zest draws customers seeking warmth and comfort, yet reactions vary widely. While some diners praise the friendly service and charm of the café, others express disappointment in the food quality, noting bland flavors and poorly cooked items.

This café may charm some, but whether it leaves a lasting impression remains an open question.
