You know that Oregon is known for their food cart pods but this is The Best Food Cart Experience in the State. It is A Must-Visit Destination.
I simply cannot stop thinking about Zesti Food Carts—this is not just a food cart pod, it is a meticulously designed dining and entertainment venue! The level of investment and vision here is staggering, and it makes every visit feel like a special occasion.
The atmosphere they have created is truly magical. Imagine gorgeous twinkling lights strung everywhere, making the entire area look like a stunning wedding reception venue—it’s absolutely breathtaking and gorgeously decorated.
Beyond the phenomenal food from the carts (which are consistently 5-star), the amenities are unparalleled:
Cozy Fire Pits: Perfect for gathering with friends on a cool evening.
The Greenhouse & Dining Bubbles: Whatever your heart desires your dining experience to be elevated to, a unique experience is invited here! Being able to dine inside an amazing, heated greenhouse or a private bubble is an innovative and delightful experience. Feeling like a more casual vibe? Go to the bar. A cozy atmosphere? Sit alongside a fire pit or outdoor fire place. However your mood dictates the dining area choices are as varied as the food.
A Beautiful Bar: They have a dedicated bar area with great music to complete the whole outing.
I am so grateful to have this beautiful spot local to me. However, it is truly heartbreaking to see it so underutilized. For anyone living in or near Forest Grove, you are missing out on the best food cart location you could possibly find!
To the brilliant minds who created this: Your great vision is shining through, and I am so glad you have not given up. This is a special place that deserves to thrive.
Please, Forest Grove and surrounding communities: Go visit Zesti Food Carts. Let’s ensure this incredible, high-quality local business gets the support it needs to stay afloat and continue to offer this unparalleled experience. Go for the phenomenal food, stay for the magical atmosphere!

Very spacious and welcoming place to eat and relax. 10+ food carts, great variety, fair pricing, fresh and delicious.
Indoor/outdoor seating, area for kids to play, tv, bar, etc. Great place for the family.

Great selection of food carts. The beer selection was good but pricey. Awesome patio area that will be nice in the summer. Parking is a bit limited and it will be interesting to see how it works out in the future.
Update: parking lot has expanded and now has plenty of room. Go for Thursday line dancing. Super fun.
Building stays surprisingly warm. Go have a beer or cocktail out of the cold.

This is a fantastic food cart dinner spot because you also get the experience of eating your food cart items in a bar if you so choose. Nice staff every time. They have many community events — and a whole plant store on-site! Smoking area as well.
This is a local business to watch. I have been three times over the last year bc our best friends live nearby. Each time we go they have made improvements to the grounds and the bar area. It is slowly becoming a very upscale and trendy looking bar/dining/event venue. Just wanted to congratulate yall on the excellent work

We visited Zesti for my best friend’s wedding on October 18th. We didn’t know how it would turn out, but we were pleasantly surprised. The venue was really made to impress, the options for food and drink really met our expectations, and Mia (I think her name is) really came through with making sure everything came together without any hiccups.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, gathering or just going for a regular outing, you’re going to love this place!
Thanks for such a memorable evening!

The facilities here are really great. Been improving every year. Unfortunately it’s becoming a food cart ghost town the last couple months. Only a handful of carts have stuck around. Very disappointing for a promising site. All my favorite carts are now gone. So I walked away without purchasing anything.
Update on 4/21/2022 – Stopped by again. Adding some photos. First pic shows the pod from the main gate. The larger building is where beer/cider is served and building to the right has more indoor seating. You can see one of those cool new plastic bubble covers that a few of the table have.
Total of 12 carts were present on this date. 2 don’t look like they’ve been setup yet and only 6 were actually open. At least 5 carts have gone missing in recent months. This is why I said ghost town. A nice big area with great improvements, but hopefully more carts will arrive soon.

Zesti food carts and bars turned out to be a pretty nice stop. They have added a few more carts including my favorite BBQ cart. Chins BBQ. Awesome ribs.
They have lots of nice seating areas, spread around the main building and amongst the food carts. The bar is small but us a full service bar with plenty of beer options. Plenty of parking but a little difficult to find. Its kind of around the corner.
We will definitely be back. I recommend Zesti food carts.

It’s in a garden like setting with lots of nursery style trees and flowers. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating.
You could bring a large group here easily, looks like they also support large private events

Amazing space. Full bar and sometimes live music. Kid friendly and tons of choices for food.

A really nice place to grab a bite to eat with many food carts to choose from, spacious dining areas with beautiful live edge tables, and a plant store with friendly and knowledgeable staff. And the evening I was there, they had a band called The New Iberians that played in the bar area. The bar had a large selection of beers on tap and a delicious cider. We ate Thai cart pot stickers, and pizza and sandwich from the Italian cart and everything was delicious.
