Testimonials
Quinn - Le Paul Patisserie Owner

Hi Roy,

Myles came in today and fixed a few things in such quick turn-around and was on time. Everything seemed so easy to him, I have to say that we are very impressed with his work ethic and he even pointed out small things to our Barista to make his work smoother.

I think there are so many great team members at Zest, not always customer facing, but they contribute heaps and make our lives better. This also includes Sally who fixed the Chamomile tea issue last week, thumbs up!

This is not me high on caffeine, this is just me want to show my gratitude.

Thanks again,

Quinn

Stewart - Artista Cafe Owner

I enjoy working with Zest's young team. It's a family business and an exceptional company to be working with. We fell in love with their style of coffee we enjoy - an intense flavour that's consistently good quality. It's been fun to be part of Zest's journey. They're always doing interesting things and have good ideas to grow our business.

Great customer service and great fresh coffee beans. Would highly recommend a trip in and having a look around. Great selection of coffee and accessories.

Local coffee roaster. I love their coffee. They roast coffee here and sell it to the public. You want fresh coffee, come and get it.

Zest Specialty Coffee Roasters  👐 😍 I haven't for a second doubted myself when choosing to go with Zest Specialty Coffee.

Why you ask? For starters there coffee is amazing! They're local & it's a FAMILY OWNED business, I have met, fathers, uncles, daughters, sons and brothers. They have been supportive since day one. always popping in on a odd occasion for a warm brew. It's a bit of a strange feeling serving coffee to the man that actually roasted it to begin with. But I can say it's a pretty good one! (nerve racking at times  😉)

But seriously guys thank you for being the wonderful company that you are!  👐

I wish there was Zest Coffee in UK. The coffee there is garbage.

Brett Shuttleworth

The team always serve me well. Brilliant coffee... makes my days even better. They grind it 'your way'.
