Love it!

I’ve been in Karlstad for 2 weeks with my work. I’ve been here almost every day and I’ve tried all of their vegan menu. Everything is absolutely delicious including their fika!! I’m grateful that Zest exists ❤️ Thank goodness ❤️

Pros: The food, The location , The staff

Vegan restaurant with non-vegan options

My favourite is the big breakfast including a vegan yoghurt bowl, a tomato sandwich, a seasonal juice and a coffe or tea for 129kr (around 11.50 €). Also, they have a great selection of fully vegan cake dessert. As the title says, the place feels more like a vegan restaurant with non-vegan options. Vegan dumplings also great choice.

Pros: Breakfast, Cake dessert , Price

The restaurant is super cute and nicely decorated and the staff is very friendly. The food was incredible. Loads of vegan options. Drank the best chai I’ve ever had. It was so creamy and flavorful.

Delicious & fresh.

Just had a light lunch and enjoyed every bite especially their raw/vegan strawberry cheesecake! OMG - probably one of the better raw/vegan cakes I've ever had. I also tried one of their vegan salads (I forget the name as they don't have an English menu) with their homemade avocado dressing. It was fresh and tasty! This place is definitely a must try while in Karlstad (and really the only fresh/healthy option in town). The only downfall is that there is no English menu but the staff is happy to translate.

Cons: No English menu.

Delicious Vegetable Dumplings!

Cozy small restaurant/café with lunch, desserts, coffee and some chocolate, tea etc to buy home.

I had the Vegetable dumplings (6 pieces) and they were delicious! They were generously stuffed and came with the best dip sauce ever. It was not too spicy or salty and had a hint of sweetness. Perfect.

I will definitely come back and try their coffee and desserts!♡

My first expression was wow! Such a cute and earthy place. I was already loving the vibes in here and also du to the reggae music of Bob Marley, that was playing in the background! ❤️

Really tasty and appetizing food! Many vegan options and organic!
Delicious vegan raw cakes. Smoothies and juices. Very friendly and service minded staff!

I was here in mars 2020.

Mitt favoritställe i Karlstad!

Mer ett veganskt ställe med köttalternativ än tvärtom. Perfekt för frukost, lunch eller fika. Emellanåt har de workshops och spännande framträdanden

Pros: Vegonorm, Mysigt, Underbar personal

Cons: De serverar fortfarande animalier

Supergott och mysigt❣️

Skön och grönskande ekologisk matbar med växtriket i centrum, mest vegan, raw och vegetariska rätter på menyn, allt naturligt fritt från gluten, socker och mejeri (förutom getosten). Till och med glutenfria veganska dumplings. Alla goa desserter är raw! Det uppskattas.

tasty and healthy

We tried their nacho salad, vegan dumplings and cake and everything tasted great. 4 stars because this place really should ditch the meat already.

Healthy vegan dishes

Small restaurant near the Lars Lerin Gallery. Cosy interiors and health focused. Good quality, I had a Mexican dish with black beans, nachos, beetroot sauce, avocado and lots of salad. It seemed all vegan to me when I went. All the dishes on the board were vegan. Nice and refreshing. Recommended.

Pros: Healthy focused, Cosy interiors, Many vegan options

Cons: It should all be vegan if it's not already ;-)

Lovely place, the interior is very cozy and the staff is super friendly. A large part of the menu is vegan so you have lots of options to choose from. They also have gluten free options. The food feels fresh and the desserts are really good. This is my go to place whenever I'm in town.

Good but expensive

Great place, lies somewhat off but not too far from centrum. The food tastes good but it is pretty expensive, therefore I only give it 3 stars. Staff is friendly :)

Cons: expensive
