Greetings!
So I'm trying to remember what it felt like to have a day off! I guess that day will come again, but right now I'm truly in a daze and marveling at this café. If you build it they will come! And you have! And I hope you will keep coming! What an experience to serve such healthy, delicious food and to see the expression on people's faces. I especially love the feedback from those who don't typically eat this way (gluten free, maple syrup or agave used to sweeten baked goods, quinoa for the first time!). Taste buds do not lie. I have heard dozens of times over the past week that they never knew healthy food could taste so good. They seem happy and amazed.
And so are we. I have to say, the new staff is just so great. They are caring and compassionate people and have really embraced the mission! Go Veganistas! Here are a few photos from opening weekend...

So with all the preparing, cooking, serving and washing dishes I'm a little late in getting the July events to you. Please see them below! And our website is being updated as we speak (hear that Jason?!). We will have a place for the daily menu and other cafe info. In the meantime please find us on Facebook where we are posting pictures and menu updates throughout the day! You'll find some photos from opening weekend here!
See you all soon. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!! and remember our new store hours! Open at 8 am every day. Close at 8 p.m. during the week, 6 p.m. on Saturday and 5 p.m. on Sunday
Love,
susan

The Daoists understood that each of us houses a magical garden within our hearts. This garden must be cultivated if we are to live our highest potential.

Our time together will be both sacred and light-hearted.
The NADA protocol is a profound treatment that consists of 5 needles in each ear. Acupuncture treatment of the physical body is treated as well as the deeper, more subtle parts of your being such as thoughts, emotions, and your spirit.
The NADA treatment fosters deep relaxation and calms the mind so you are able to hear the quiet impulses of your heart. These impulses are typically muted by the race of worry and fears. Additionally, the treatment supports the bodymind's ability to detoxify on all levels. Each week you will receive the NADA protocol.
