For those of you that need a little more info / aka a bigger -nudge- to be persuaded to try this great place...check out my long winded love letter -oh, I mean overview. I hope you find it to be honest, humorous & helpful:
Pomegranate Cafe' is sincerely a WONDERFULLY delightful place!
....& it is truly a DREAM COME TRUE! The the newly decorated window of this awesomely vibrant, yet quaint and cozy cafe reads 3 simply lovely words:
*Local* Seasonal*Organic
The day that I saw this sign I knew I was in love...or- that a small piece of heaven had quite literally landed in my "backyard" (-aka it's just a few blocks from my home! yippee!). I then sighed with an unmistakable sense of "finally, a breath of "fresh air!"...in a world of lack luster fast, processed foods- a place I can go to be free from it all...close to home.
A locally owned cafe of this high quality caliber (again they organic, seasonal and even some Live/Raw items), comfort and affordability I feel is very a rare thing...Not forgetting to mention that this cafe is NOT located in Downtown/ Metro PHX...It located in Ahwatukee! It's right next to Trader Joe's on 38th & Chandler Blvd!
This place will be mos def. be my "hangout" from now on, whenever possible- until I either leave PHX, or pass into another life! I am only 30- so I hope that it isn't the latter! By the way, in jest- I told the owner, Cassie that if I could I would love to just sign over my paycheck to her, & I meant it! She would only have to share it with a few other fave places like Changing Hands Bookstore,Trader Joe's,W.Foods & Agritopia(& Joe' s BBQ), (& the local farmer's mkts.)! Well, since that isn't possible of course I will just have to continue to support this little awesome local business in any way I can!
Which bring me to the last, but certainly not least... Mentioning of he cafe's {glorious} offerings! Seriously. I mean this...Sincerely superb!!!! Everything on the menu is so very fresh and equally fresh tasting! I would be hard pressed to think that anything you could ever order from Pomegranate to be any less than perfect & enjoyable!
My very first visit, on their {soft} opening day- I had a severe cold and the nice young lady / staff made me an herbal tea called "Vitali-Tea." After that very 1st visit- I was truthfully dumbfounded and struck down by the very feeling of unadulterated *love* embodied by a physical place! I counted the days until I could make the time to visit again! My 2nd visit was actually just yesterday. I hadn't eaten anything in the morning, it was way past lunch & and I was extremely hungry! I was also very tired from a company mting- which was in freaking Peoria! (grrr!)- & as I passed by Phoenix's demure skyline (*i'm from NWI/ Chicagoland area*) my tummy & mind wandered through the "Roosevelt Row" area of metroPHX... However, I was drawn closer & closer to home in Ahwatukee, not just by the promise of sleep but also by the overwhelming desire to visit Pomegranate once again. I stepped in the Cafe' with a big appetite and little desire to spend a great deal of $...Pay day, bills and such...pending...a horrible concoction...So I decided on the quiche of the day which came w/ a (phenomenally fresh) house salad. I then splurged and opted for some energy in the form of a cup of fresh-squeezed juice drink called "Laughter." I broke out my net-book, sat down to eat....And my mouth was over taken by the fresh flavor of each individual item that I ordered as I ate it. Complete taste bud loveliness...and overload at the same time! I kid you not! I even had tea & dessert! I sat for at least over an hour, eating slowly enjoying eat bite. Computer screen blank. I just read the drink menu instead (...also i forgot my log-on password btw-lol!)..yet...I was still amazed as I throughly read through each drink description. The drink offerings / menu are the size of a "normal sized"/8x12 food menu. The mind blowing variations of teas, fresh squeezed juices & even elixirs on both front and back. And that's just the drinks! The food is amazing! "Love" awaits you too! ;-)
Gottah go! Sincerely, S.
