Me and my friend Veronica happened to stumble upon this darling marketplace and cafe while shopping around Phoenix today! I'm always excited to find a grocery store that carries an array of health-conscious items! We discovered that Luci's had many gluten-free/organic options that I normally can't find anywhere else! Loved all the openness in the cafe area, the entire atmosphere was very warm and inviting. I could definitely sit there a few hours and get all cozy with a warm 'cup of joe' and my laptop. Also liked that the cafe contained stevia sweetener packets and agave nectar--that's a really awesome and rare find! The barista made me feel extra special when he asked if I wanted some of their homemade whipped cream!!! I couldn't refuse when he explained it was made from agave nectar, vanilla bean, and espresso--and I must say it was totally YUM! V kept dipping her stir stick in my doppio for more!
Veronica made a good point today when she expressed how neat it is that more and more people are leaning towards a better way of eating--I couldn't help but agree! And great to have a store like Luci's to inspire a healthier lifestyle!
