I'm as carnivore as it gets but sometimes its good to take it down a notch. Since this is near Casa Nat and I was in the hood, it seemed right to try it out.
Hours are 10-3 so it's a bit odd but because as a small business the staff need the time to prepare for deliveries for cleanses and what not. Staff are very friendly and chatty. Plus, cute benches, posters and a beautiful wooden table and bench near the front with a window seat view. The bathroom is also really pretty. I really want the wall paper in that bathroom!
I ATE /DRANK
I had a carrot soup with some parsley. It's not heated (surprise) but it was good. I then followed it up with a beet, ginger, carrot and lemon drink. Cold and sweet - just the way I like it.
Belmonte Raw also has shots. These are definitely different from the shots I used to have in my 20s. No more alcohol. Lots more echinacea. I had the invincible elixir: Vitamin D, echinacea and oil of oregano. Belmonte makes it more palatable by adding in some lemon juice. Let's just say I came in with a red eye and a runny nose and after I came out, it was gone (partially because I took out my contact but I'll give BR the credit).
I also got the Uplift drink - a mix of spinach, parsley, apple and ginger. Just a good vitamin mix and the apple and ginger give it a bit of sweetness.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
The place to get your five a day. I did good today. I will admit I was still hungry so I went to Burger Stompers after and I got two mini sliders. I never said I was perfect. Thus, maybe I'm not the ideal candidate for a cleanse. That said, I would definitely go here for a cleanse. These guys know what they're doing and they care.
