| - My husband and I are runners, and we eat mostly a vegetarian diet with exceptions here and there. We sometimes run through the Lakes and have passed Go Raw a few times, so it was nice to finally stop and see what was going on in there.
The interior is small and divided into three parts: the dining area, the kitchen and the gift shop. We figured out that we were to grab a menu and seat ourselves, so we sat by the window (through the blinds you have a view of the lake) and took our time looking over all of our options. We both ordered smoothies (strawberry/banana/dates and coconut/banana/dates with something else that I can't remember) which were great.
For our meals, my husband ordered the Mediterranean wrap: all sorts of tasty things wrapped up in collard greens. I ordered the purple burrito - it is not what I was expecting, but I ate all of it: half a purple cabbage filled with hummus and other things. All raw. All good, but maybe it was too dense for one dish as I had a hard time digesting that meal. I think that specific combination of dense raw foods combined with fruit was wrong for me personally. The way we combine certain raw foods is something I never thought about before, and I didn't realize there were so many food theories regarding this topic. All very interesting. I will be more mindful of this in the future.
The gift shop offered a selection of books, vegan health bars and other vegan products. Since the food does take time to prepare, it was nice to be able to get up and browse for awhile.
Overall, this was a unique little spot that I was glad to find. The small staff did seem to be in their own little world in the kitchen, but that was ok. Very casual. Come to try something new. I'll definitely be back for more smoothies.
