Zest Coffee House in Wolverhampton

There have been three times I’ve gone to this cafe for lunch in the last month, in the middle of the day and it has been unexpectedly closed. I understand things can crop up for small businesses, but there was no social media post or sign on the door to explain anything, they will lose customers fast this way because people don’t like to be messed around. This cafe is in a prime position in the village, it could be so much more than it is, especially with it being opposite a nursery it could be a lovely cafe for mums to grab a coffee, but there is sadly a reason it’s never as popular as Lime Tree or Gluttons. Some of the staff have been lovely here at Georgie’s and I’m sad to be typing this review but issues really need addressing for it to sustain

Had a lunch catch up with friends, what a beautiful little place! Very cosy and the staff were very friendly. Food was delicious 😋 Highly recommend!

Nice little shop with indoor and outdoor seating, v cozy decor & food was piping hot and very good. Would recommend to put water in the tabletop plants jars though! 🤣

Pleasant location. Pleasant staff. Had a very long wait for our food which was very frustrating. Very poor ventilation, had to wash all our clothes as they smelled of grease and for this reason I wouldn’t take the family there again.

It was our first time in and we both had a coffee and big breakfast and small breakfast and was amazing

First time visit and definitely going back. Delicious food and very friendly welcoming staff.

Friendly and quick service. Everything freshly made to order. Very tasty and satisfying food.

Great quite place food was good.. Good value for money.. No concerns

Nice small cafe. Value for money home cooked food.

Went for English breakfast tea it was good and reasonably priced, not sure of teabags in the strainer of the teapot, would have preferred loose leaf tea and pay a little more. Lots of reserved tables with the cards on the table, looks a little intimidating as I was unsure where to seat. The team working were very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely lunch time brunch, ordered a full English, sandwich and chips and afternoon tea for two, All four of us enjoyed the food the place was very clean and tidy and the girls at the counter were very pleasant and friendly, would I visit again yes most definitely

Toilet seat needs cleaning or replacing

Only stopped for tea and coffee, sat out side, but good quality drinks.

Been to this cafe a few times and it’s a lovely little place. I do have one complaint and that’s the fact when you leave the cafe. Your clothes smell off deep fat oil and it gets into the clothes so much that when I get home I have to strip off and put my clothes in the wash. This is really putting me off going in there which is such a shame as prices are good and food is nice But sadly I don’t want to keep smelling of fat oil

Popped in for a coffee & I came out absolutely stinking of cooking smells! So annoying as it’s a new coat & scarf! Get the extractor working! Needless to say I shall not return, sorry👎🏻

Lovely afternoon tea, the cakes were delicious, very friendly and accommodating staff would definitely go again.

Ive been couple times with my daughter, and my Sister the other day! Food is fresh! No complaints.

Lovely little coffee shop very well presented Very friendly staff always smiling Beautiful cappuccino

Disappointed again. Haven’t been in for quite a while due to pretty much why I didn’t think much of it previously. The smell of cooking hits you as soon as you walk in. Can smell it on your clothes when leaving. Thought would have done something about that by now. Very stuffy and not the cleanest. Sat by a window sill today at 10.30am covered with dead insects so that had not been cleaned recently. Had a coffee which was nice but toasted tea cake was cremated. Could only eat the bottom halves. Mentioned it to the lad who waited at the table with a shrug of the shoulder as a response. Shame, in a nice position but needs attention to detail.

Absolutely lovely! Lovely staff amazing food, I will be back! I don’t live close but I wish I had a coffee house like this near me as it’s a hidden gem. You are doing great at what you do!

Wonderful little place, lovely staff and delicious food.

Such a lovely coffee shop. We ate here a few times during our stay and loved it! The staff were most welcoming and the menu had lots of nice things to offer. It’s clean, very reasonably priced and most importantly, the food is delicious! I can highly recommend the full English breakfast and the omelettes! Fantastic! Debbie is a wonderful hostess!💝👍

Fantastic Coffee shop, brilliant food and service. Regular visitor now.

Lovely cakes & tea. Great quality.

Lovely meal and reasonably priced. Young lady who served wax very pleasant. Would definitely go again.

Tucked away in a secluded alley is this gem! Lovely & clean. Staff are friendly and professional. Recommend their Cappuccino. Delicious 😋

Great little cafe only issue is it's not well ventilated and you end up smelling of fried food.

It was a nice quiet environment and a decent coffee too

I've now been here on two occasions, for coffee with friends. Although we've not eaten here, the service was good ; the waitresses were both pleasant and efficient. Our coffees each time were made to our liking. The baked goods on offer looked very tempting. Our first visit was on Jamie's first day and I was pleased to hear next time that she was doing well.

Great prices. Great coffee and cakes. Lovely, child-friendly staff and place :)

Delicious coffee and walnut cake and latte coffee. Very friendly staff, good value

Nice and clean, snd fabulous food.

Went for breakfast. Polite and friendly staff. Didn't have to wait long at all for the food. Food was great and all cooked perfectly. Definitely worth a visit. Will be back.

Food is lush. Always fresh and staff are lovely

went on thursday 10th june wont be back poor choice of cakes the ones on offer were so similar cup cakes with loads of sickly looking toppings. Coffee was bitter not nice and please tell me when do you put pork pie and crisps with afternoon tea Yeuck. as seasoned travellers who drink a lot of coffee this has to be one of ours worst experiences it looks like it is only trading on its position.

Great service lovely food and a beautiful traditional place. Spotless

Excellent all round. Clean and tidy, friendly staff, Rreasonably priced, excellent food and CAKE TO BE GREEDY OVER!!!

Quaint, and lovingly decorated, clean, with excellent breakfast /lunches and the CAKE!! If you appreciate stunning Victoria sandwich cake with buttercream and jam, you'll never go anywhere else!! 5 stars.

Great food and service, would definitely recommend! Cakes are amazing!! Ordered several times using the takeaway / delivery service also!

The takeaway and delivery service is ideal for those days when you want some comfort food. Located in the village of Tettenhall just outside of Wolverhampton. The food is delicious and cooked fresh. Tip: try the range of homemade cupcakes especially the lotus biscoff one

Excellent food and service, great coffee. The kind of coffee house which feel like home. Can’t wait to return!!

Service was okay. Menus not wiped down after previous tables had left. Waitress picked coffees up around the top of the mug to put them on table. Not COVID safe. However, lovely decor and friendly staff. A few amendments in these current times especially need to be reviewed

Gorgeous place.. lovely coffee and cakes...

Amazing home made cakes, great breakfast & good coffee all in very cool surroundings & with excellent service from the staff. Lovely position in the cool Limes Court shopping arcade, a little cobbled Victorian style shopping lane just off Tettenhall high street.

Was Cafe Zest but now Georgie's coffee House. Very nice and friendly. Good food, nicely presented

Service was friendly but a bit slow, and we noticed that a customer who arrived after us got their food before we did despite it not being full or really busy. The food was nice but the portions were quite small.

Nice little cafe that I visited with a friend a few weeks ago - lovely and clean and a good selection of lunch food - we had jacket potatoes and tea, served by a friendly lady - enjoyed the visit.

On arrival at the restaurant we asked for a table for 5 initially, then unexpectedly another family member joined us. On politely asking if we could squeeze them in we were rudely told we should have booked. I apologised and said I didn’t realise. We were then rudely told we would be blocking an area. I asked the owner if he would prefer we left to which he replied ‘yes’. I was so taken aback I thought he must be joking but seemingly not. He was completely unrepentant as we left with my 83 year old father who has breakfasted there many times. My dad was most upset and said he felt he could never go there again after being treated so rudely. This is extremely surprising and disappointing. The owner’s attitude and tone of voice is horrendous!

Came in with my family as a group of 6 in the morning for breakfast, it wasn't full. We asked the manager(the man that works there) if we could add another chair onto a 5 seater table. He then said very rudely "you should've booked" and that adding another chair would block where people would've been walking? He then proceeded to kick us out and said to take our business elsewhere. I was with my grandparents and have never been so shocked how rude that man was. Do not go here unless you want to feel like an inconvenience!

I came here to have a nice breakfast with my grandfather and was greeted by a very rude man who turned out to be the owner. As there was 5 of us, he sharply told us we should've booked (even though there were plenty of tables that wouldnt be blocking anyone's path). Once we were seated, he proceeded to be rude. His strange behaviour led us to believe he was joking and maybe had a dry sense of humor but no. When we asked if he was being serious, he told us he wanted to leave and basically shut the door in our face.I have never met a business owner that is so dissatisfied with his business. Surely if you want a cafe to thrive you need customers. I have many family and friends in the area and will be warning them about the aweful customer service you receive as soon as you step through the door.

Have been here many times before and it never disappoints. Food and drink always top notch along with great customer service, came here for a filter coffee with a friend today, which comes highly recommended. Looking forward to returning here again soon.

Lovely little cafe serving great snacks and cake and delightful staff well recommended lovely sandwiches

Called in for a coffee and a bite to eat. Lovely little coffee shop - bright and airy, spotless clean - good coffee and plenty of choice on the menu. What's not to like?

Called in on spec for a quick light lunch. Premises are fairly small but well decorated and clean. Needed a high chair which was quickly supplied, again nice and clean. Had the toasties which were full of flavour and oozing with filling, we tried the tuna and cheese and bacon, cheese and cranberry. Good quality ingredients were obviously used. Both served with either a choice of coleslaw or salad. Coffee was served in a generous sized cup. Quite an extensive menu, our two toasties, coffee and cola worked out at under 16.00 pounds which was reasonable value.

Lovely cappuchinos and cups and saucers and nice snacks. Quite small but pleasant and if not raining there are a couple of tables outside.

bacon and tomato sandwich plus tea £ 6,40 make your own mind up i am stunned by the price. its as if i am being charged to make up their monies. I have always supported the village in the past but i have now moved so i returned to tidy up some business details at lloyds bank.the other estalishments in village are more reasonable and a lot more smiley

Very rude male owner. Tables free but did not want our custom, shutting the door on us before we had even got out the building. You would think a coffee shop in Tettenhall would have better manners. Will not be returning.

2 bowls of tinned soup and a warmed up roll... over £4.00. No taste... poor standard of food and service.

Never ever again. Rude, bad service!!!!! Plenty of other places in Tettenhall!!! Excuse.... short staffed!!! Not my problem!!!

Went there for lunch with my family and the food and host were very good. They were very good with my little boy .

Massive thanks to everyone at Zest Coffee House. We have been having a coffee and doing some work before we run a computer session in the local area. Each time we go we are greeted with a lovely smile, we have table service and the staff are very friendly. The food is presented wonderfully and we always feel welcome. Wifi is strong too! It's a bit hidden, but it's worth the find.

Portion size for the 2 mushrooms ihad on toast was not accepatable for the £4,20 price tag, Left feeling hungry and disappointed with the luke warm coffee.

What a beautiful little coffee house. Had an amazing afternoon for my Mum for Mother's Day. Thank you so much it was amazing

Had a wonderful afternoon tea worth every penny great value for money 👏👏 would visit again. Great location. Service was great, very friendly.

I work in Tettenhall and rarely go out for lunch as the coffee shops are busy but we ended up in Zest which was quiet and did not smell of cooking! I ordered a sandwich and a coffee which soon arrived - it had just been cooked and was lovely - good quality food FRESH and tasty. I would certainly go again and recommend this little coffee shop in a quiet arcade to my friends

The Cakes and coffee in this place are amazing!! The owners are always smiling and welcoming. Free wifi is also good with a solid fast connection.

Always warm welcome ! Staff very friendly and helpful ! Food here is delicious, homemade and fresh but the tea cake is the best what I ever had ! Thank you will be back soon! Highly recommend :-)

Having worked for a coffee company and had many cups of coffee, I have to say this was pretty poor. I have visited this cafe twice now with friends , I sent the Coffee back the first time, the second I just decided never to visit again. His comment about the beans is not the reason. They need a better barista. The cake was ok . Service also ok.

Called in for a quick coffee, shouldn't have bothered. Awful coffee, watery, Luke warm. Service not very friendly either. Looking at the reviews must have been an off day, but I won.t be back

Excellent coffee and refreshments in a convivial atmosphere in a quaint corner of Tettenhall. Ideal place for meeting friends and chilling out! Always a warm welcome and attention from Bill. Alan & Veronica Cotterell

Situated in a quaint arcade in Tettenhall village Zest Coffee House is a family run Coffee House serving a range of coffees, teas, sandwiches and cakes. Just steps away from the car park, Zest is a no frills, spotlessly clean friendly place with lovely staff. I was particularly impressed with the explanations for all the types of coffee .. makes life so simple. I can recommend their roasties and paninis... always served with a choice of salad .. and as for the cakes .. superb. Orders are served fresh and quickly. A perfect place for a solo sit down with wifi or a meet up with friends.

Nice place to relax. Went in for coffee and cake which were really tasty. The cappuccino was very well presented with a very interesting spoon balancing on an equally interesting cup! Becomes more busy around lunchtime but it's far less hectic than some of the competition in Upper Green.

Booked with Zest a few days before we visited for afternoon tea, everything was amazing from start to finish , nothing was too much trouble, i would highly recommend zest, we will definately visit here again. Subreena 👌

I dropped in for a quick lunch, ordered the soup, had a choice of 4 so decided to have the mushroom soup. When it arrived it was nicely presented with a warm white roll as expected. As I was leaving I enquirered if the soup was home made( which I was doubtful it was), my thought was correct as I was informed it was knorr soup, the roll was like a supermarket soft roll. This was very disappointing as home made soup is much better and with a fab bakery on the doorstep this seems an opportunity missed.there is excellent competition in Tettenhall..........the cost for this was £4

This was our first visit to Zest Coffee House, very nice place. My mother-in-law and Bro-in-law are regulars and we met up for her birthday. Good choice on menu and a 'specials' board. My husband and I both had the veggie breakfast although it was lunchtime! Good choice of 'dessert/cakes' and drinks. They do hot meals, sandwiches and takeaway. Had to wait for the food as it is cooked to order, but not long at all. The place is light and airy and the staff very nice.

Well this was my first visit and as soon as we walked in on a very wet and dark day, the friendliness and warmth just took over. I arranged to meet a very good friend. We both have children with Autism, and was very worried at first. But this worry had soon disappeared! The staff were very friendly and could not do enough. Then comes to the food.. the diet, what diet!! It was superb!

Really like the location of the place and costs are comparative to other coffee houses in the vicinity / town.

Dropped by for a quick coffee today. Good quality coffee and nice staff. Nice, quiet venue for a break!

The chap that owns it was far from friendly. They didn't seem so happy to see a family walk in. We ordered 3 x slices of maltesers cheesecake plus chocolate cake, 2 milkshakes and 2 latte's. The latte's were cheap tasting. My husband was served with a slice of cheesecake that was COVERED IN MOLD. I refused to eat any of the 3 slices we were served as it was obviously way over its use by date. They should have refunded us £7.50 but all we got was a half-hearted mumbled apology and a £6 refund. We exited as soon as we possible and will never be going back.

Today had an afternoon tea for my moms birthday which was really lovely. Excellent value for money in fact couldnot believe how much food & cake there was and all presented wonderfully on a traditional cake stand perfect.Cafe Zest is lovely & clean and the service was great too so welcoming & nothing too much trouble & owners checking that all is well in between. Thanks to Bill for the attention to detail really was appreciated we all had a wonderful afternoon.Will see you very soon on our return & wish you every success for the future.

Popped in after a walk for a coffee. Prices are reasonable and service very friendly. Hot drinks are out of a machine but still tastey. Had a table outside in a quiet alley called Limes Court. Sun beating down. Lovely.

Popped in for a lovely little lunch with my fiancée and my mother. Very friendly service, quick and very accommodating when my mum asked for an odd combo on her dish! Food was very good and the atmosphere was very relaxed. A lovely little place

My Wife and I have been again to Zest this morning one of our favourite Tea Rooms. We normally just have their excellent crumpets and coffees but this morning decided to have their full English breakfast for myself and poached egg on toast for my wife both were quickly served and cooked well. .Excellent service.

Popped in today while I was in the area, it was freezing out side and inside looked warm and inviting! So I popped in and was warmly welcomed! I was served straight away and invited to take a seat and my coffee and food was brought over to my table! Coffee was served with a complementary biscuit which was a nice little touch! I stayed for around half an hour and enjoyed my food and drink! It was clean, bright and very modern inside! I enjoyed the Peaceful atmosphere! I will definitely pop in again if I'm in the area :)

The owners were very helpful as we arrived past the time they normally serve lunch. They kindly served us 3 x lovely home cooked food. I have a lovely chilli, My daughter ate a beef pie which she says was amazing and she liked the large plate of chips that came with it and my mum's lasagne she said was lovely. Thank you we needed lunch as we had driven up from London and then on to Biscester for late night shopping.

My husband and I visited Zest on 27th November for a bite to eat for lunch. We were welcomed by the new owners Liz and Bill who told us they were staying open later that day for the Christmas Light Switch On. Thus was nice as some of the others in the town seemed to be closing their normal times.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat as was in a rush . Had a jacket potato filled with chilli great value for money . Fantastic service as I was I a rush got the order stared straight away . Super value for money will definitely be going back . Very friendly staff . There cakes looked fab . Will definitely be going for breakfast next time

Have visited three times under the new management. The food is reasonable for the price. I found the new owners not very welcoming. The male owner seems uncomfortable with being anywhere other than behind the counter. Twice I have visited and both owners have been chatting with their backs to the door with no welcome to the establishment. I will try once more, if no improvement will return to the Lime Tree or Vanilla whose customer service is superb.

we visited Zest for a third time and this time we tried the breakfast. It was cooked beautifully. The new owners are so welcoming. We are visiting again soon to try the lovely cakes they have.

And good service makes this a frequent stop on a weekend !!! Sausages were beautiful and cooked to perfection as was the bacon and egg and they even made me fried bread which isnt on the menu.....fantastic!

We visited Zest for the first time and was made to feel very welcome by the staff ..The place is absolutely spotlessly clean. The coffee is amazing and they have a very good selection of food. After our disappointing visit to The lime Tree last week as it is filthy, it was nice to go to a coffee shop that is so clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend Zest... Zest is hidden away up an Alley by the post office in Lime Court, but it is really worth the visit, you wont be disappointed
