"Lovely and cost place with wonderful food that is very inexpensive. The lady owner was very nice and the restaurant cat would come and say hello. The location is great but can be busy at times as it's a popular spot on the island. We had the chicken sandwich and the egg Benedict with salmon. Both exceeded our expectations. They were nice to remove the ham since we are muslims."

"Best place for breakfast on Koh tao! Went there the 5 mornings I was on the island. The service is super quick, it’s cheap and the food great. Also they open at 6 am so perfect before morning dives! Absolutely go there"

"Great for breakfast! Delicious and cheap. Our recommendation: order some Mango on the side for 15 bht. All the vegetarian breakfast things we tried were great."

"It's soooo yummy! We ended up having breakfast every day here. Lucky us we found this little gem. Service is very friendly and helpful, cozy atmosphere, nice coffee & fruit juices and super yummy food for a good price. All we ordered came quick out of the kitchen, big portions and we loved every single bite. We would certainly return when back in KT"

"Awesome coffee & breakfast, reasonably priced compared to many overrated cafe's on the island. They have another Zest Cafe in Sairee with the same menu, we tried both branches and both were great!"
