ZESTI CAFE UPDATE We are sorry to have to share some disappointing news. Unfortunately our partnership with Zesti Carts didn’t work out as expected and Zesti Cafe is now permanently closed. It is an amicable situation and we were all hopeful and excited to bring vegan food to Forest Grove. Thanks to everyone who supported us in this endeavor. In the short time the cart was in operation it was wonderful to serve you all, we will miss you! Moving forward, our ‘grab and go’ Happy Hoagie sandwiches are still always available in the refrigerated section of your favorite stores. Heat them up at home for that sizzling off the grill experience and enjoy! Thanks again & be well.

Ever wonder what goes into the cost of a Higher Taste sandwich? Every bite you take supports our employees and the local business community. Thank you so much for choosing Higher Taste!🌞 Here’s how the numbers add up: Retail Markup: 37.5% Labor/Benefits: 24% Food Costs: 22.5% Operating Costs: 5.5% Utilities/Rent: 5% Profit: 4% Marketing: .75% Taxes/Fees: .75% Retail markup is a large percentage of our operating costs and helps employers pay fair wages to their employees and enrich the local economy. The second largest percentage goes directly to our employees for fair wages and benefits.  Do any of the numbers surprise you? #themoreyouknow #costanalysis #sandwich #shoplocal #highertaste #madeinoregon
