The most delicious, health-conscious food in a super cute, hip setting. The coffee drinks are so good. My favorite lunch item is the Grilled Veggie Bowl with chicken. Soups are hearty and healthy. All their toasts are delightful as well. And the desserts - to die for! Organic, vegetarian, and vegan options! This place isn't cheap but it's worth every penny. My absolute favorite lunch spot!
