Zest Garden Cafe

It's so exciting to see as Lincoln City grows. So do their food choices! Here is a nice local mom and pop restaurant that offers food for all types of eaters from gluten-free to vegetarian to those of you who enjoy meat. The home style, food and atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. The crepes are delicious and I recommend the Oregon crepe. The owner's mother works there as a waitress and she was so welcoming and a wonderful server. It also has outdoor seating for the summer months and a cozy fire indoors for the wintery months.

I can't praise Zest Garden enough. They have some of the best vegan food on the Coast. The service and ambiance were great and the prices were fair. Definitely a must for any animal friendly eaters. Thank you!!Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly

Zest is a wonderful, cozy spot for breakfast, brunch and lunch. We enjoyed a lovely lunch of vegan crepes with delightful fillings. The ambiance is cozy and warm and the small family owned and operated team are friendly and accommodating. Every order is cooked from scratch. Highly recommend the cheesy crepe with scrambled tofu, so delicious and filling. Great options for vegetarians and vegans. Can’t wait for our next visit!

The menu is 70% vegan, which I am not. Although I might be if I keep eating here, amazing food, and atmosphere, books and games to play and the biggest variety of a menu options, from Brazil to Thailand and family ran to boot. I’ll drive from Washington to here just to eat here again soon.Vegetarian options: Menu is 70% vegan with more alternatives to each ingredient even tofu instead of eggs for every dishDietary restrictions: You can add or change whatever ingredients you can’t have.Kid-friendliness: Welcoming and entertaining for kids of all ages

Customer service was great. We came as group of 10 during Lent which means we can’t eat any animal products, so they tried their best to make sure we have the best experience. The food overall was very good. Cozy place. Make sure you call for a big group before you come.Thank you Sheryl, John and Marci ….

Absolutely wonderful eatery on all fronts. They have a really great vegan/vegetarian friendly menu, and the food is delicious. They make everything in house and use high quality ingredients. The service was also incredible - our waiter even told us we could email them for their recipes. Highly recommend and looking forward to our next visit!Dietary restrictions: Many vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options

My first time eating here and have to say I really enjoyed it. The environment is soothing and calming. I ordered the zesty pesto crepe and it was delicious. Lovedcsitting by the fire on a cold wintery day! I will definitely be back.

Came in quickly and got food to-go. Staff was super friendly and made sure to understand what I wanted when it came to making the food vegan. My fam and I had fun playing on N64 in a cute corner they had while waiting for our food. We got a berry crepe and a cheese pizza. Admittedly I wasn't a huge fan of the crepe but I don't have a huge sweet tooth. The cheese pizza was ok.Vegetarian options: Almost all food here can be made vegan or vegetarian.

There's a limit to how much one can write, here. The energy here is special. The flavors are so fresh, every texture is so perfect. Hyperbole? Maybe, but for those of us who view food as a pleasure to be savored and shared, there's something exceptional going on in this tiny, multi tasking space. With so few tables and such an "in the know" vibe, check the city rush as you sign your name to the wait list and people watch as you chill, knowing there will be crepes with the perfect tender chew, filled with clean, unprocessed local ingredients, and a friendly smile (with some damn fine coffee).How lucky you are.Vegetarian options: Those is your group will not only *not* be disappointed, but revel in the amount of flavor and joy this food will bring!Dietary restrictions: Celiac? Vegan? You won't miss a drop of flavor or that special "we're dining out" feel. Also, your tribe won't miss a thing, as there's something for every palate (hear it- silence as everyone digs in, happily)Kid-friendliness: I can't count how many times my boy's eyes lit up and got big, how he served himself 2nds from our GIANT creperrito (having forgotten entirely that he "hates mushrooms" which is covered in rich, brown [*mushroom!*] gravy) . Want them to develop a love of real food, fresh food? Bring them HERE.

My husband and I had a late breakfast and their "The Oregonian" savory crepe with sausage added was delicious. We both enjoyed the low-key relaxing atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Numerous vegetarian dishes.

4/30/23 930am Very disappointed. Loved the ambience and the waiter was great. I came, especially for the gluten-free crêpe and received a cold and tough crêpe. The jelly they used was straight out of the cold fridge, and I could barely cut with a knife through the crêpe. There was another table that sent their extremely cold creep back to the kitchen while I was there as well. The waiter was professional, and he removed the crêpe from my bill. I tipped him well as his service was great. I’m hoping they were having an off morning as the reviews have been great and everything else was nice, just not the food.

Went and had a couple of crepes when it wasn't busy, cute store, wonderful for vegetarian and vegans, the dessert crepe was amazing, no complaints there. They make their own in season berry sauce so that was cool. I would have preferred a gravy that wasn't so oily on the savory crepe, but the flavor was excellent. Medium price range for the crepes so you should really only plan on getting one, maybe stop by for dessert after a meal, but you should get one.

My MIL & I stopped in for breakfast while on vacation for Memorial Day weekend.My MIL had the Blueberry Delight (gluten-free) & I had the Banana Foster (classic). Both were wonderful!Our server, Cheryl, was extremely attentive and friendly. She would frequently check on us to see if we needed anything, or to chat and recommend local attractions/shops.We were seated immediately & the wait for our food/drinks was fine. We arrived around 9am. Since it's a small restaurant that makes things to order, I can see it being much busier around noon.They also have a cute gift shop of local artisan goods that we looked at while we waited for our food.

We were very excited to find a local restaurant that had vegan/dairy free options clearly marked. We came in after lunch time on a Sunday and the service was very friendly and very quick. The patio was beautiful. We ordered the strawberries and cream crepe and the banana with almond butter. They were both delicious! I am so happy to have found a dairy free crepe place- I thought I'd never be able to have crepes again! If I could make one suggestion it would be to have a dairy free chocolate sauce option for the crepes. We will definitely be coming back next time we are at the beach.

Great spot. Tasty food. Not over priced. Excellent vegan and veggie options. Will make it a regular stop. Only request some more iced drink options in the summer. Some iced mate it coffee would have been perfect additions.Vegetarian options: Half the menu has vegan and veggie options. Good vegan crepes.Parking: Across the street there is a large public lot.

If u need to take a break from the greasy fish food of the coast, stop in here for some clean tasty crepes. The cheesy veggies one was amazing. They also have tacos and much more. Small cozy kid friendly atmosphere with a fire. I will come back again for sure!

What a gem! We've been to Lincoln City dozens of times but have never taken the time to walk around and look at the shops. There is a boutique inside the Cafe which adds to the uniqueness. They only serve crepes here, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. They have savory and sweet crepes. I got the gluten free Cheesy Veggie Egg Scramble crepe. Omg it was to die for! 10/10!!!!!! I HIGHLY recommend. It was so fresh, flavorful and filling plus the presentation was great. I also got an iced Chai Latte with some vanilla flavoring. There were a lot of beverage options but I can't resist a chai latte :) We will definitely be returning <3

Small business, gluten free options, autgentic crepes with hearty fillings. Gem of a find on Highway 101 in Lincoln City.Located at the premises of the earlier Nepali Kitchen this is a much needed addition on the main drag of Lincoln city. Crepes - both sweet and savory are a welcome addition to the myriad food options available here.We ordered soup and crepes - both savory and sweet. The Oregonian was hearty, paoer thin crepes with mushroom and spinach filling with a vegan mushroom gravy. Delicious! The gluten free zesto-pesto was just right too. It was treat for my gluten free companion who had almost given up on crepes.For dessert we had cream cheese filled gluten free crepes with boysenberry coulis. Beautifully crafted crepes that is proudly operated small business.

🍀 Lincoln City is LUCKY to have this local owned gem in the heart of town. Zest Garden Cafe is our new go-to for delicious organic, veggie forward meals. Cozy up to the fireplace with a cup of tea/coffee or sit down for a meal. They serve it all: savory, sweet, veggie or meat, gluten free and vegan. ALL are welcome here and that is such a welcoming feeling. The service is heartfelt and sincere. They really care about quality food and service.Vegetarian options: So many options! Makes me smile :) Truly something for everyone. (carnivores will be happy too). You can go strictly vegetarian or pescatarian with the Salmon Scramble.
