| rev:text | 	What a little gem! I was looking online for a spot to eat healthy and this café was highly rated on many reviews. This eatery is set up like a food court, only without any other restaurants. 
I opted for the soup of the day - fresh veggies and kale, along with the California Turkey sandwich (Turkey breast, avocado, mixed greens, tomato, red onion, basil aioli, lemon vinaigrette, on Ciabatta bread). What's the word for 100 times more than just yummy! The sandwich came with mixed greens - so tasty and fresh I imagined they were picked today.
Kale can be bitter, but the seasoning and texture of the soup brought out its best flavor. They had an intriguing method for making coffee (which I hardly ever drink). Ice cubes in a glass container dripped water over coffee grounds, which then filled a coffee pot. I couldn't resist. And since I drink coffee so rarely I had to get a dessert to go with it - right? 
A mango cookie with a dollop of apricot in its center seemed like a good choice and - just to make sure I ate every crumb - stuffed as I was - it was heated slightly so it was just a teeny bit soft and oh so marvelously delicious. 
The service matched the food. Everyone couldn't be nicer, more knowledgable about every detail of the products, and eager to make your experience memorable. Though I had black coffee, I was offered home made almond milk - a first for me. Should have had a glass of that - but I'll save that for the next time. Lots more on the menu for me to enjoy.
One last word - this spot is owned by a gay couple and is located in the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada. Didn't bother me in the least, I found the atmosphere quite friendly and welcoming - but if that puts you off - sorry to say you'll be missing a really good meal. |
