| - Good service, fresh healthy food, knowledgeable staff and great location. I saw a small sign for this place while driving through Cave Creek. I used to live in the area but now live out of town. I was about to grab some food in town at one of my old haunts when the thought of raw, vegan food was very appealing. I came in on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. It wasn't busy, but there were a couple of other patrons. I was by myself and couldn't help thinking my boyfriend might squawk at this food decision (and the overall ambiance - too new age-y for most dudes I've dated). However, once a guy tastes the food, I am sure he would be impressed. They have a vast menu, but the server let me know what was available (they make everything fresh). As an appetizer, I had a shot of wheat grass (and the waitress let me know the best way to consume it -- holding it in your mouth and swishing it around before swallowing). For the main course, I went with the Veggie Burger, which was more like a reverse veggie burger (two raw onion bread patties on the outside and filling on the inside). I don't like mushrooms so the waitress substituted hummus instead. The sandwich was pretty large and very filling. It came with a side of whipped, chilled butternut squash (?) which was delicious as well. When I was done, Chef Sara greeted me personally. You can tell that she takes a lot of pride in the quality of her food -- as she should! If I lived closer, I would definitely return -- especially because I really wanted to try other stuff on the menu, particularly the Coconut Ravioli.
