ABOUT

Zest Coffee Company is founded by Ryan and Nicolette, a husband and wife team. They are passionate about serving their community, and ensuring that all of their product is of the highest quality.

Ryan studied Chemical Engineering, and has worked as a Systems Engineer for multiple years. During his time in university, he studied the chemical process of cold brew production, and developed a passion for coffee. During his younger years, he worked on the side as a bartender, and grew a passion for serving his community, and creating connections with his customers. He decided to combine his love of coffee and desire to serve others and create bonds along the way by founding Zest Coffee Company in Strongsville, Ohio, where he grew up. Nicolette and Ryan have always found joy in trying the most unique coffee shops in every city they would visit. Nicolette is an interior designer and lover of coffee, so she combined her passions by influencing the flavors, menu items, and designing the interior of the space.

Growing up in Strongsville, the pair saw a void in the market, and felt that the city could greatly benefit from the addition of a craft coffee shop, which is why they decided to open up their first shop in their hometown. Ryan and Nicolette share their passion for coffee and high quality service, and aim to share that passion with their customers. Every Zest employee embodies the standards and vision of the company, and strive to provide the highest level of quality and customer service.
