I was pleasantly surprised by this little place in the Colonial Arcade. I ventured into the area seeking other lunch options other than Jimmy Johns or cafeteria food and viola- I stumbled into the line next to this place! Originally, I was turned off by their somewhat boring looking menu. However, I saw someone else chow down on their Salad Plate and I immediately became entraced...
AND BOY AM I GLAD I DID! Pure and Supreme focuses on raw and vegan food and normally, I am not a huge fan of raw and vegan. I got their amazing Salad Plate. The salad was so delicious with plenty of fresh spring mix and with a yummy scope of kale mix (its flavorful kale mix with raw olives) on top. It doesn't even taste vegan- it's a delicious non-health food tasting salad. The plate comes with amazing hummus (one of the top 5 hummuses I have ever ate!!). I think the most interesting/tastiest part of the salad were the curried plantains!! let me say it again CURRIED PLANTAINS- it's a nice mix of spiciness from the curry, sweetness from the plantains, and a lightly salty bite from what appears to be a lite sprinkling of seasoning salt. The salad also includes this white puree that I cannot distinguish- that I could do without (not bad, but not great).
I will definitely seek out more superfood/healthy salads from this lunch place. As good as this salad was, it was also quite expensive. That lovely delicious super food Salad Plate was $10.00 (no meat with an adequate portion). I get that kale is expensive, but holy cow does that much kale go into that little scoop on the salad. The high price of the salad is a huge turn-off, along with the white puree, but everything else in that salad was so tasty!!
