Zest Coffee Bar — Restaurant in Ledyard

Had to stop by the hardware store next door, decided to stop in for a cup. So glad we did, was just a plain cup of coffee, nothing fancy, bb it was The Best cup of coffee I've had in a loooonngg time. I prefer a nice, round, easy to drink coffee that has a bright flavor, rather than a deeper, more acidic flavor, and Zest nailed it. (I'm not a professional critic, so if my explanation isn't 💯, welp, that's why.) Overall, highly recommended, can't wait to go back and try the absolutely delicious looking pastries, omg, can't believe I didn't mention the great atmosphere. Great art, great vibe...

Love this place. The coffee I think is weak, but I get an extra shot to take care of that. Staff is always very nice and make sure your order is right even when busy. The treats are very good, and though it can seem pricey, it’s not some mass produced products. The scones are my favorite, so many varieties and not bone dry like some scones are. they have one dollar peanut butter dog bones that they make and I routinely get some for my pups :) Can get really busy quick because there’s usually only one person working. Only downside is sometimes the treats like whoopie pies seem...

Wish I could give more stars. It's a quiant little coffee shop. Small area for sitting. I went by after picking up some paint right next door at the Ace. I was going to get a latte but saw they had apple cider. I got an iced caramel apple cider and a smores cookie. The drink was HORRIBLE. The caramel used must have been used for lattes/machiattos because it had a bitter, coffee taste to it. I got a large (only small or large for iced drinks apparently) and it's the size of a McDonalds small, which is crazy. Smores cookie was OK but not worth 4$. I'll stick to...
