Zest!

A charming, quaint, and pretty store full of all things kitchen and dining… and in a charming, quaint, and pretty town. I was shopping with a friend, and she wanted to walk in. I said… sure…why the heck not?!
We walked in, and I was pretty impressed with the displays, products, and the samples of orange pekoe iced tea. It was a hot day, and the iced tea couldn’t be more refreshing. I work at Sur la Table in Massachusetts, and I appreciated the similar style of store in Lititz. I even said as much to the store owner, who also said that they loved Sur La Table.
This is a MUST visit store if you are in the area. :)

Zest! Is the coolest and most complete kitchen store I have ever been in! I could have spent hours in there just browsing and shopping. The store is quite large and has two extended back rooms off the main store entrance. My suggestion is that you start along the first wall and then meander along all the walls until you come back to the opposite side of the entrance doors, nothing is to be missed.
Their prices are unbelievably fair and in many cases very low in price. Zest! Is a specialty food store of both domestic and imported items. Zest! Is a gift store with a perfect gift for anyone that you know who likes to cook and or bake, even if you are not into cooking they have some of the coolest kitchenware and décor I have seen.
You could go through this store twice and still miss things! After my sister in law and I had left the store, I knew she bought these really cool red wine glasses which all match, yet had a different design so the guest will know whose was whose, she informed me that she had bought some Ina Garten mixes and I was saying, oh no, I never saw them!
I bought a Rougie Bloc De Foie Gras D’Oie (goose liver pâté’) and a Rougie Bloc de Foie Gras de Canard (duck liver pâté’), they were not inexpensive, but I know that I would have paid more elsewhere and finding pâté’s from France isn’t the easiest thing to do.
Check this out; they have sealed bags of almost any spice you can think of for $ 3.95 a bag and these bags each equal three jars of McCormick’s spices and you do know how expensive that can be. I love a good Puttanesca sauce and this one is loaded with fresh sliced garlic, kalamata olives, anchovies and capers, if you are not into this sauce they have many others to choose from.
The owner Ed and his wife own and run the shop and I only met him, what a friendly guy, which I found to be typical of all the Lititz folks. I told him flat out that if I lived in this town I would be one of his best customers. I absolutely adored this shop and loved how they have it set up. Soon they will be online @
